The Betrayers turned to their siblings and said, "Your creations are flawed and broken, they disappoint you, they hurt you. We have to destroy them."

And the Prime Deities replied, "No, they are our children. We won't destroy them. We love them too much."

The faithful of Aeor turned to their gods and said, "We believe in you. Let us help you. The Betrayer Gods are cruel and evil. We will use the Factorum Malleus to kill them all to end this war and make the world better."

And the Prime Deities replied, "No, they are our siblings. We won't kill them. We love them too much."

There's nothing like a tragedy born from love.

Now I'm sobbing at 5 in the morning over D&D! The little fire of hope 😭

I was watching the livestream of Downfall’s third episode, it was near the end, it was almost 4am and something absolutely wild struck me about Ayden’s name.

Ayden > ayden > ayd-en > day-ne > ne day > new day = dawn

Was that on purpose, or was my sleep-addled brain clutching at straws? 😅 I loved your performance in Downfall and Ayden really struck a chord with me. You really made a fantastic character and I loved seeing your choices!

It wasn't but I love that! And thanks so much for your kind words! My reasons for the name were this:

Ayden Meaning: Little fire. Ayden is a gender-neutral name of Irish origin. A variation on the traditional spelling of the boy's name Aidan, this moniker means “little fire”.

He isn't the big ball of fire in the sky he's the little fire of hope in your heart!

Tonight, we remember one who lent his enormous talent to telling the story we have all come to love. Hail, the victorious dead!

May the Simbelmynë cover his tomb as it did the tomb of the one he so accurately portrayed.

Angel Dust: I don’t think we can mansplain, manipulate, or malewife our way out of it this time.

Alastor, cracks his knuckles: Manslaughter it is.

Chishiya in season 1 had everything planned out to every possible detail.

Meanwhile, Chishiya in season 2:

"She's delicate, like a flower." Izuku sighs as he looks at you, smile on your lips as he watches you from afar. Bakugou scoffs, knowing full well what you are with your sharp nails and sharper tongue but no one can see past your pretty face.

"Flowers can be poisonous too, dumbass."

I mean it was just SUCH. A PERSPECTIVE SHIFT!!! It was-- UGH.

Like, you're watching episode 1 of Calamity, and you open with "Fire." Just that reminder that THIS IS GOING TO BE A DARK STORY. You know this, this is what you're signing up for! These characters are awful! They're all lying about various stuff! They have these ambitions and secrets and lies that will lead them all to RUIN. And you're watching this story unfold, and it's so tense because you KNOW that the Calamity happens. It's already heartbreaking because it's not so much that you know they *can't* stop it, but because you know they *don't*! It's in the lore! It's in the timeline! The Calamity is a thing that happens! TWO THIRDS of the population dies!!! TWO THIRDS!!!

You spend three episodes wondering how the Ring of Brass will mess everything up so bad that the world gets as bad as it can possibly get. Two thirds of the population! Dead!

And then in that fourth episode, Brennan flips that shit on its head. Because he brings in a worse tragedy. One where EVERYONE dies. No one makes it out of Exandria. Complete and total annihilation. And then gently introduces the idea of... what if you could save some of them?

That last fight had characters with HP in the single digits, no spells left, and it was unwinnable if the goal was to win the fight. But the goal changed and became to just survive long enough. You know they can't all survive this. But you sure as shit can hope that they can last those crucial 18 seconds. Just enough to make the difference between losing everyone, and not losing everyone.

It became a story not of how they lost two thirds of the population, but about how they saved one third. And it was an absolute master class in how to use tragedy to tell a story of hope.
