eadwulf grieve my one and only. he’s bisexual. he has zero agency in the story. he appears like three times and all of those times he’s either following orders or being prevented from following orders. he’s the least favorite in the polycule. he’s the guy you think of when you think of ‘goon’. he’s a character basically tailor made to die but somehow survives to the end of the story by virtue of no one giving a shit about him. he has a homoerotic pvp against the guy his ex has been using as a stand in for him and then tries and fails to flirt with said guy. hes religious. he wears a big amulet with the symbol of a god and a smaller secret amulet to another god underneath. he stumbled his way into diplomatic immunity by being so hot that two incredibly powerful people can’t quite get over him. he’s so irrelevant you almost forget he canonically strangled his parents to death. he doesn’t know what a firbolg is. he’s even a wizard

It’s so interesting to me that Kingsley Tealeaf, unlike any of the previous people in charge of that body, does actually take interest in the past and those who came before him.

Molly used to run away from any mention of the person who had his body before hand. Nothing good ever came out of it, and every interaction with that past was intimidating and unpleasant to him. A reminder of the shaky foundation and loneliness his life started in. The only thing he knows, and needs to know, about that person, is that they died, and got buried in a lonely shallow grave from which he had to crawl, empty and alone.

Lucien, when he came back, didn’t want anything to do with Molly either. He didn’t care for “the speck”, he wanted nothing to do with the full life he lived, with the person he was. That person was nothing. There is only Lucien. Even as he yearned for the things Molly left behind, the warmth and love that the Nein had for this thing he saw as insignificant (yearning enough to consume, to try and pull them into himself and devour them to maybe feel their warmth), he never bothered trying to understand why. He didn’t have to crawl out of the grave probably, he had Cree to help him out, but he was still the man buried once before, not too far from this grave.

But Kingsley? Kingsley Tealeaf was born in the open, surrounded by people he barely recognised, but immediately showed him care and love. He was covered, warmed, held. Even when he found words again (with help and meddling from these people, who had been there for his entire life), even when he tells them “I am not the person you wanted”, they love him anyway. They don’t leave him. They tell him about the past, and he listens. This isn’t him, this person they’re describing with so much love, but… it’s not a stranger. Not an adversary. A brother. Someone he shares some things with, someone he can pay homage to, who came before him and paved some of the way. Who, in death, gave him the gift of a stable foundation, of people he can come back home to, who can tell him about what the world used to be for this body he’s in, and who the person who came before him was, when he’s ready.

And maybe sometimes they get sad. Maybe sometimes they look at him weird, like they are grieving. They are! They are grieving a friend they lost, but they’re not trying to force him to be that person. They help him find out who he is instead. And with that security, the knowledge that he can forge a future without expectation to repeat the past, he can look back and find out who these people who came before him were. Because when he’s confident he’s his own full person, these other people aren’t a risk to his identity, just a facet of the past he gets to explore.

He called his ship the Mollymauk. The vessel that carries him into the future named after the brother who in death left him the foundation of one.

A redraw of an old beau drawing I did back in like 2022 or something (original and sketch under the cut)

Prints here :)

Here’s the original, I still like it honestly

I covered up a lot of my anatomy issues with dramatic lighting, 10/10 would recommend

i know a lot of people hc jester as being secretly very sad and using her upbeat attitude to hide her pain but i honestly don't think thats true. her biggest problem a lot of the time really IS "i miss my mom :(" or "i reallly want that coat but i cant afford it rn" because she's a happy person with an overall happy upbringing. and to me this makes her empathy with the less life-enthused members of the party (see: beau and caleb) a lot more admirable, since she's choosing to empathize. she's actively putting in effort. she has no inherent understanding of the kind of mental state that would make you scared and angry all the time, so she makes herself understand. she asks caleb questions and waits patiently until he's ready to answer, she matches nott's enthusiasm and doesn't pry into her secrets, she hangs out with beau even though she's kind of a bummer (especially mid campaign), she isn't scared of yasha, talks to cad on his level, and defends fjord without question even when she's salty over avantika. jester is not a sad person bonding with sad people about being sad; she's a very happy person bonding with sad people about detectives and flowers and that bug we saw the other day. it's like how she uses the sending spell: sure, i could stop at seventeen, but why waste the other eight? sure, i could just love the people that let me right away, but why waste all the rest? she knows her own magic. she knows you don't have to use all twenty five. she also knows her own heart, and uses it to love on purpose anyway. jester lavorre, you will forever be famous.

Half of episode 104 has been this and it’s incredible

[frogenthusiastt]

when i get my hands on Liam O'Brien i'm making him pay all my therapy bills

like. LIKE. look at his face. the sudden surprise as jester invades his space and proceeds to RUTHLESSLY unravel and acknowledge his pain after the traumatic events of the day, the way he's so carefully tucked away all emotions and tried to move on without worrying the group. look how quickly the layers all crumble away, how emotional and vulnerable and small he looks, how for a second we see Caleb Widogast without all his layers. if i had any power at all to do so i would give this man a thousand oscars and then ask for a milion dollars to compensate for the emotional damage he has wrought me
