#Starr family lore

[simpystarrr]

Ey you. You want some Starr family lore? You get a bit of Xaviar backstory too!

Samiya's family is... Full of drama. They made her work in the SCP Foundation to continue the "family legacy". And for what? Because they think making her take the same career path as them is what's best? Well that's only part of it.

Her father, Harold has a brother named Amos. Amos betrayed his family and the Foundation to join an enemy organization. Amos did some horrible things and ended up obliterating what must've been the entire Starr family reputation because now they're associated with the Chaos Insurgency.

Amos has a son named Xaviar. But unlike his father, he was part of the Mobile Task Force (MTF). Amos decided to ambush and kill the MTF units. He threw several grenades at the MTF units.This resulted in Xaviar being one of the many casualties. While he survived he was seriously injured. He got some pretty serious burns and shrapnel wounds which almost killed him.

Amos grabbed his injured and unconscious son and took him to the Chaos Insurgency base. He forced his poor son to fake his death and join him to help him destroy the SCP Foundation. He threatened to disown him if he didn't. This is why the Starr family name has associations to the Chaos Insurgency.

Harold used his own children to salvage what's left of the family's reputation. And now poor, sweet, innocent little Samiya has to deal with all this because of her uncle's actions. He believed that Samiya, being one of the youngest scientists to work at the SCP Foundation, will cover up Amos's crimes.

Samiya's parents put a ton of pressure on her when she was a kid, wanting her to get exceptional grades so the Foundation would take her.

Samiya didn't know about her uncle at first and she thought her father was just strict. In reality she was turned into a prodigy to cover up the terrible things done by her uncle she knew nothing about.

Bewitching Your Coffee

I am 100% a coffee drinker. I love drinking it black, I love it in lattes and cappucini (yes, that's the actual plural of cappucino), and I especially love the experience of sharing coffee with another person. And, like everything that comes out of my kitchen, I like finding ways to make coffee more magical.

But even though coffee is a daily essential for a lot of us and has a long history in folk magic, people don't talk about it nearly as much as tea magic. I did some digging, and this post contains my research into the magic and lore of coffee and the things we like to add to coffee. I hope my fellow kitchen witches find this helpful!

Correspondences of Coffee and Common Coffee Add-ons

Coffee: Used for grounding and to anchor a spell in the physical world. Useful in spells for mental clarity and enhancing psychic senses. Used in several types of American folk magic as an offering for spirits. Author Starr Casas uses coffee for powerful cleansing and blockbusting in her Southern folk magic practice. Because of its association with energy and movement, coffee can be used to add strength to spells. I personally associate coffee with the Earth and Air elements and with the planet Uranus.

Milk has different correspondences based on whether you are using cow's milk or a plant-based milk.

Cow's Milk: Associated with nurturing, love, and abundance. In pagan Ireland, offering someone milk was an effective blessing. Milk and cream are said to be favorite offerings of fairies. I associate cow's milk with the Water element and the Moon.

Soy Milk: Soy may have been a sacred food crop in ancient China and is associated with blessings. During the Japanese festival Setsubun, soy beans are used to repel bad spirits and draw good fortune in a practice called mamemaki -- soy products can be used in spells for protection or good fortune. Use soy milk or other soy products in spells for success, good luck, and prosperity. I personally associate soy milk with the Earth element and with the planet Jupiter.

Almond Milk: Associated with prosperity, wealth, and success in business, as well as with increasing wisdom. Almond milk and other almond products are associated with the Air element and the planet Mercury.

Coconut Milk: Associated with purification, healing, and protection. In African American magic traditions, coconut can be used for peaceful home work and protection work, as well as ancestor offerings. Coconut is associated with the Water element and the moon.

Oatmilk: Associated with prosperity and money magic. Oats are associated with the Earth element and the planet Venus.

Sweeteners attract sweetness and good fortune. Different sweeteners have their own associations.

Sugar: Associated with love and lust. In Southern folk magic, sugar is sometimes used in money work. Sugar is associated with the Water element and the planet Venus.

Brown Sugar: Has the same associations as regular sugar, but works more slowly because it contains molasses.

Honey: Associated with home, family, love, and blessings. In Southern folk magic, honey is sometimes used in domination or control work, especially honeycomb. I personally associate honey with the Water element and with the planet Venus.

Maple Syrup: Associated with love, money, and long life. I personally associate maple with new life and transformation based on Robin Wall Kimmerer's writings about them in Braiding Sweetgrass. Associated with the Air element and the planet Jupiter.

Artificial Sweeteners (Splenda, xylitol, and other man-made sweeteners): There's very little written about the magical uses of these sweeteners, but I personally associate them with creativity, innovation, and new discoveries. I associate these sweeteners with the Air element and the planets Mercury and Uranus.

Caramel* is actually made from sugar, which is cooked over low heat until it caramelizes, or turns brown. Caramel has the same magical associations as sugar, but with a stronger connection to Fire energy and to transformation.

*Note: In the US, "caramel" is often made with corn syrup. For example, the caramel drizzle at Starbucks is basically 100% corn syrup, or at least was when I worked there a few years back. This isn't to say you can't work magically with corn syrup-based caramel, but the energy will be different. I don't have experience here because I have a corn allergy, so I'd love to hear if anyone has experience working with corn syrup in witchcraft!

Chocolate** is originally from Latin America and was an important ceremonial drink in Mayan culture. In Mexica (Aztec) culture, chocolate was used as currency and was said to be a gift from the gods. It was associated with the devil and with witchcraft when it was first brought to Spain by colonizers. Later, during the Renaissance, it was seen as a miracle cure for all kinds of medical conditions. Based on its history, chocolate can be used in magic for love, sex, energy, spirituality, magical abilities, and healing. I personally associate chocolate with the Fire element and with the Sun.

**Note: Scott Cunningham includes a note on "chocolate" in his book on magical herbs, but this is actually carob, Jacaranda procera. The cacao tree, which produces chocolate, is Theobroma cacao.

Cinnamon is associated with success, healing, adding power to spells, spirituality, wealth, and protection. Cinnamon is important in Christian folk magic because of its use in the Bible. In Southern folk magic, cinnamon is used for money, luck, and lust and is said to work very fast. It can also be used for blessings and protection spells. It is associated with the Fire element and the Sun.

Clove is probably most famous for its use in spells to stop gossip, but it is also used to drive away harmful spirits and to attract wealth. It is also sometimes used in love and sex magic and for successful business work. It is connected to the Fire element and the planet Jupiter.

Ginger adds power to spells and situations. It is used in spells for love, money, success, and healing, but it can be included in any spell to add power or make results happen faster. Ginger is associated with Fire and with the planet Mars.

Hazelnuts have long been used in Western European folk charms for luck and good fortune. It is said that eating hazelnuts makes you wise and can increase fertility. Hazel is also associated with protection and with granting wishes. It is connected to the Air element and the Sun.

Lavender is used in love spells, especially spells to attract a masculine partner. It also has a strong association with peacefulness and with calming emotions. It is sometimes used for protection and is said to both attract and banish spirits, depending on the source. Lavender has a long historic connection to the queer community. It is associated with Air and the planet Mercury.

Nutmeg is most famous as a good luck charm, but it is also used for healing, money, and success. In Southern folk magic, it is used mostly for money, success, and good luck. It is associated with Fire and with Jupiter.

Peppermint is commonly used in healing magic, but it can also be used for purification, attracting good spirits, divination, love, and money. In Southern folk magic, peppermint is used for hex breaking. It is associated with Fire and the planet Mercury.

Vanilla is strongly associated with love and comfort. It can sometimes be used in lust spells. Scott Cunningham mentions using vanilla to replenish lost energy. It is associated with the Water element and the planet Venus.

Magical Coffee Brews

With these ingredient correspondences, you can easily mix a spell into a coffee drink. For example, a pumpkin spice latte (which is made with pumpkin pie spice, i.e., a mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves) can be a spell for money and success. A lavender latte with oatmilk could be an excellent love spell, especially for queer love. A peppermint mocha (coffee with chocolate) could be a healing spell. There are lots of possibilities for a magic brew!

Colette & Edgar HC

Author's note: This is the first time I put my writing out in the wild, hope you like it Words: 452

Colette and Edgar are siblings, many would say twins for being almost identical, with Colette being older (17-20) and Edgar younger (16-14).

They sometimes have some squabbles but they know that they have each other's backs.

Their family went to Starr park for holidays since they were little  and probably had a subscription.

So Colette starts as “normal” fangirl (for “normal” I mean boy band fangirl type of normal) about SP mascots and SP media in general, having watched every movie, listened to every song, games, ecc.

She especially likes to collect merchandise, but she still has touch with reality.

Edgar at first liked going to SP but when he started to grow up (and getting tired of Colette’s obsession) he saw SP as nothing but a childish place and he is so edgy and mature, so why should he go there?             

He is practically an adult now, he can stay home alone!

This boy really likes parkour but he is scared of heights, of course the only one that knows about this is Colette.

Another thing he enjoys making jokes about “S0cIEtY 🖤✊😔”, he also love mystery and writes poetry.

He watched fnaf lore as a kid.

 At school Edgar was bullied for being into “childish things”

His sister too but she didn't care, sometimes she didn't even understand the sarcasm, for this people found her funny and she became "The Weird Popolar Girl" mostly for her extroverted personality.

So with others he tries to be serious and mysterious but when he is with Colette (and friends) he can be himself and ramble about his interests.

It’s summer and their parents send them to a dear friend of theirs, Griff. 

Colette was overjoyed for the news, staying a whole summer working part-time in her favorite place in the world? A dream come true!

Edgar wasn’t so pleased like his sister, working all summer? He was supposed to be at home and getting his perfect gamer tan!

 (In reality he was very happy, like he had to work but he could go to Velocirapids or any other place for free)

  Griff was thrilled. He finally has workers who can help him out with the shop and for free too; well almost free he still had to feed them and make sure they live, wasting his precious time for business but it was free labor nonetheless.

There was only a problem: they were too similar.

Short black hair with brown eyes and the same height.   

How the heck should he remember who is who?

Colette had the perfect solution: dyeing her hair white!

Hope that in another universe we aren't two siblings who spend the summer with a greedy uncle in a place full of conspiracies

So yall want to know why its taking me so long to get to the request that I asked for?

Was dragged ( invited ) to the Pit and it took over my brain for over a month.

Anyway, I had to get all of this out of my system before I could work on stuff for Tumblr heres a art dump of a bunch of art I did for the Pit specifically the family tree because I love them so much.

Butterlfy belongs too @bluepeachstudios @amevello-blue Wind belongs too @tired-o-fighter Starr belongs too @ninjastar-ace Argo belongs too @super-weed-ninja Gio belongs too @hibiscusbiue and Human belongs too @thegodovereverything

Don't ask me to explain the Pit family tree or ill have to explain Pit lore and that's a lot.

Now we can get back to normally scedualled program.

If i was waitifng for the right excuse to uninstall fortnite and it's already here: They're adding FUCKING ELLA BAILA SOLA DE PESO PLUMA AL PUTO FORTNITE FESTIVAL CHINGADAMADRE PUTA MUSICA DE NARCOS WANNABE. NO SE POR QUE SIGUEN FOMENTANDO LA NARCO CULTURA Y A ESOS TIPOS NACOS. El baile de Kunno me da igual, el juego está lleno de cosas estúpidas por obvias razones, asi que el hate que le tiraron en su tiempo me parece injustificado. PERO LA PUTA COSA ESA NO LA AGUANTO. Yo se que es un juego de disparos, eso es obvio, pero no es lo mismo tu lore suavecito tonto de viajes en el tiempo, copias para vender mas skins con ropa distinta y pendejada y media que la MALDITA NARCO CULTURA. Ya solo falta que agreguen las misiones de descuartizar, desollar y dejar a tus enemigos en bolsas negras esparcidos por el mapa. Tal vez es solo mi prejuicio por que vivo en un lugar que está a merced del narco, pero justo lo digo por eso. Estoy cansada de esos putos desgraciados que no saben hacer más que dañar a la gente trabajadora que le hecha ganas para salir adelante de verdad, ¿Y ahora tengo que aguantarlo hasta en Fortnite? AU en el que La Sociedad es un grupo de narcos y Montesco manda acabar a La Contracultura de una muy narco manera: Jonesy encuentre descuartizada y quemada a Hope, a Bananín colgado de un puente por que se negó a pagar la cuota en la gasolinera, le mandan los deditos de Starr Oakley como mensaje para que termine su rebelión. E igual lo matan aunque haga todo eso. Ahi va tu lore de mierda. ¿No que muy mamoncitos para hacer el juego más "family friendly"?Ya basta de esa pinche gente tratando de normalizar a esos tipos en el mainstream.

What happens w Oeca

Oeca! Gone too soon in Canon I miss this knife wielding child. So with full transparency I didn't watch too many of Oeca streams and I wish I had because his lore seems fascinating but I think I understand his whole deal. He is a kid who killed his family and a girl he loved and he has an evil half of him that took over to commit the crimes. 

Honestly he fits in perfectly in this messy family,  very rude and a little psychotic, what else could you need in an annoying baby brother. Plus Krow gets to be a murder gremlin so Oeca does too. Everyone knew something was up with Oeca as his red eye gets worse and worse but he refuses to talk to any of them about it, full on lashing out sometimes when they ask. His obsession with getting rid of Gracie is as strong as ever though so he still follows her into the maze with intentions of killing her and Ori follows behind them. They fight as usual but when Oeca tries to kill himself Ori lunges forward and grabs the knife by the blade from Oeca. Gracie snaps out of it and rushes forward to help restrain the boy and they manage to get him down just in time for Apo to come running in with Mohwee having seen that Ori flipped all three of their levers down on the way in. This is the worst Evil!Oeca moment they have, it takes ages to coax the normal Oeca back out, they sit with him for hours at a time trying remind him of who they are and that they want him back. Eventually he does wake up as himself and he feels shaky about the whole thing. 

As with all the oddities of the Outsiders they get more used to the subtle changes in Oeca that lead into Evil!Oeca and what they can do to help keep him grounded. Soup tries to help, I'm undecided on if she ever truly gets rid of this other half of his but she does make potions that help quell it, that he takes regularly. There are still scares and close calls but everyone is quick to grab him if he gets violent and though many Outsiders get some cuts and scrapes only Gracie ends up with a scar when he attacks her with her back turned. He becomes a mapper and goes on plenty of Maze runs, though he in particular likes the challenge of mapping the dark maze. He firmly maintains that he does not in fact like any of them and he's only keeping them alive so he can escape but no one believes him. He also picks up a habit of forcing people to carry him on the way back through the maze since he's always "too tired". 

 Oeca remains his slightly unhinged self and doesn't change all that much when they leave the Maze and head back into the world. After all his only mentors are other murders, criminals, and rebels at the heart. Plus he's only so dangerous in a group of people who spend hours training to fight and do manual labor on the daily to survive. What's a few light stabs between friends anyway. He's definitely one of the most excited by the prospect of taking on Starr and even offers to fully sneak onto the show and pretend to be a contestant but he's denied, for now at least. He spends a lot of his time with all of his friends, in fact he's almost never alone because he's afraid of slipping too far into his other half if no one is there to help him. He builds himself a tree house that has zip lines connected to the other ones and he and Krow begin a game of knife throwing throughout the clearing that ends up with both of them being told off all the time. Huh I just realized how much the short period of time between leaving the Maze and going back in is the only time the Outsiders get to be kids and have some meaningless, if violent fun. So what happens with Oeca is, he gets to be a kid and be himself with no judgment from the others for whatever is wrong with him.  He gets to be happy, no matter how unconventional the place he finds that happiness is.

Starr lore time

Some members from Samiya's father's side of the family are associated with enemy organizations. (such as Xaviar, who is a member of the Chaos Insurgency) Not wanting to have a bad reputation to the family name, he wanted his children to become part of the Foundation once they were ready.

One reason Samiya got in the Foundation so early is because her parents wanted to get her in the foundation early, thinking that the news of "one of the youngest scientists to join the foundation" will cover up the fact that our family is associated with such organizations.

REVIEW: Hoodoo Herbal by Starr Casas

One thing that I think sometimes gets lost when we talk about Southern folk magic is that there's a lot of regional variation within the Southern US. Appalachian folklore and folk magic is trendy right now, but Appalachian traditions are actually very different from what other communities in the South are doing. While authors like Rebecca Beyer and Jake Richards do a great job of documenting Southern Appalachian lore, I think Starr Casas is one of the most high profile authors who covers what I would consider Deep South folk magic.

I know some people have issues with Casas, and I personally don't agree with her on everything (for example, she uses the words "hoodoo" and "conjure" interchangeably, while I use "hoodoo" specifically to refer to African American practices), but she is clearly very dedicated to documenting traditional Southern conjure as it was taught to her, and I can respect that.

This book is an herbal, and like most herbals, it's somewhere in between a spellbook and an encyclopedia. This is not a Conjure 101 book. Instead, this is a book for people who are already familiar with the basics and who want a reference book where they can quickly look up the lore and uses of different plants and curios in this tradition.

Pros:

• Like Casas's other books, this is very authentic to traditional conjure in the Deep South. She covers things in her books I learned growing up here but have never seen written down anywhere else.

• Very comprehensive. This book covers most basic herbs, but also goes into how to work with houseplants, curios, and Biblical figures.

• Great breakdown of the hot/cold and sweet/bitter system used in conjure, and explains how to choose herbs for a work based on these properties.

• Easy to use as a reference book. It's easy to flip back and forth to find information about a specific plant or curio. I read this as an ebook, which made it even easier to look things up by searching specific words.

Cons:

• Casas is very insistent that conjure must be passed down in person from an elder and is kind of condescending about people who learn conjure from books. This feels... not exactly like gatekeeping, because I see the point she's trying to make, but it rubs me the wrong way. I mean, the people in my family who knew this lore and practiced these works all died before I was born, and my parents and grandparents weren't interested in learning. My only option has been to reconstruct a personal/family conjure tradition based on local lore, talking to other workers, and yes, reading books. And while yes, I think books alone can only take you so far, I think we should acknowledge that not everyone has access to an in-person teacher.

• The other reason this bothers me is because Casas says her motivation for writing her books is to keep traditional conjure alive as the tradition's elders are aging and dying. So if she's aware that elders are dying without passing on what they know, why the insistence that true conjure can only be learned in person? Why write the books at all, then?

Other/Miscellaneous Observations:

• Casas feels very strongly that Christianity and the Bible are essential to conjure. If you do not feel the same, this book will piss you off.

• Casas is from Texas, and while I definitely consider her work more Deep South than Southwestern, there are some regional influences there. For example, Casas works with Catholic saints in an otherwise very Protestant magic tradition.

• Despite the above observations, Casas makes it very clear that she is not overly fond of churches and does not think you have to be a church-goer to practice conjure. She also talks about how she has taught conjure to people who aren't Christian, in case anyone was worried about that angle.

Conclusion: This is a solid reference book and a great collection of plant lore from the Southern US. I'm always happy to add books to my shelf that don't just parrot Western European herbalism, and it's nice to read a book that has info on New World plants. I have more issues with the philosophy/politics of this book than I did with Old Style Conjure by the same author, but this book does do a good job of showing what traditional conjure looks like. I recommend this as a reference for Southern US plant and curio lore, but definitely balance your perspective by picking up books from other authors and looking at other sides of the conversation.

[inspector-montoya-fox]

ok so today i’m feeling very sentimental because i’m pretty sure it’s the last time i’ll hang out with my family until i graduate in July so we’ll be ranking the top 10 locations from Ace Attorney i’d rather be at right now instead of at my desk trying to write my 3,500-word essay due in 8 days. i haven’t included locations from Investigations because that’s a list for another time. let’s take a look:

10. Prosecutors Office Underground Parking Lot: kicking off the list is a location i initially hated but have ultimately to come to appreciate. what’s there not to like? there’s a sense of mystery, it’s supposedly the scene of the crime, Edgeworth’s busted car is there, it’s where we meet Angel Starr (an icon). the only thing that could make it better would be Maya’s input

9. Sunshine Coliseum Backstage Hallway: if you tune in to Turnabout Podcast you probably know I love Scooby-Doo. this is straight out of a Scooby-Doo episode. it might sound like sacrilege but i chose this over Turnabout Samurai’s studio locations because this is just so... Scooby-Doo-y, i can’t. the glam of it all !! it’s reminiscent of the Mystery Inc. episode with the Hex Girls (love). and also the fact that Apollo and Ema were ki-ki-ing outside while Romein Letouse was getting shot in the dressing room? honey, yes.

8. Hotti Clinic: ok listen. i am an absolute slut for public sector locations (i don’t know what else to call them, pls educate me). as morbid as it sounds, i love the white LED, reflective floor, sitting area reception of the hospital. so many stories to tell, so many people to meet. and Japan is known for how well organised their public sector is. it’s not American tv drama hospital, like all grimy and disgusting, it’s more like... Trauma Centre.

7. Dr Meraktis’s Office: fittingly, yet another hospital location. what an a amazing office. this belongs in a coffee table book on office decor. i mean sure, the choice of desk lamp, wallpaper and exposed safe are all very gaudy, but the jars of fluorescent liquid more than make up for those. and the wall-sized window? stunning. knowing Apollo, he probably didn’t even stop to take this all in during his investigation. he probably complained too, like idk about the hospital smell or the spilled coffee. what a nerd. hate him

6. Kurain Village: Kurain Village looks like such a peaceful place. it’s so rich with history and culture, and Maya, Mia and Pearl lived there. i love that we get some more exposition in SoJ and get to explore the stunning view of the mountain in the background. i love that taking the bus there is also like a little excursion too. 100% i’d visit and i’d join one of the Fey classes too

5. Blue Screens Inc.: your eyes are not playing tricks on you, this isn’t a Tumblr shitpost. the design here? 10/10 stunning. imagine working at Blue Screens, under Lisa Basil’s supervision, with charismatic coworkers like Glen Elg and Adam Mada. one of my friends is currently writing her dissertation on how personalised workspace helps build up work ethic, and honestly i’m gonna tell her to include this place because if i worked there i’d be the most productive employee

4. Gourd Lake Entrance: as we reach the top picks on this list, you’ll notice that a lot of them have been chosen because of the sentimental value they hold. not only does Turnabout Goodbyes take place here but it’s also such a peaceful and endearing location. forget the other Gourd Lake locations, full of clues, where we interrogate Lotta Hart, Larry and Yanni Yogi. this is just a serene entrance to the park, where Gumshoe gives us the lowdown and the Wintery backdrop looks so charming. i wanna walk my dog down that nature trail

3. Fey & Co. Law Offices: i don’t want any of that Anything Agency bullshit. this is the original, so rich with lore. Charley front and centre, Mia’s favourite movie on the wall, the view of the Gatewater. the conversations we’ve had here, asking Maya any ideas? and what do you think? or having Gumshoe be the office caretaker, preparing food for us? it’s the location where we receive all our original cases, Phoenix gradually starting to make a living out of being a lawyer. it’s home away from home

2. Damon Gant’s Office: this is another Scooby-Doo-esque location. a true villain’s lair. the dual nature of Gant and Lana’s former office clashing with each other, the villainous decor like the church organ, the stained glass windows and the knight armour, it’s all so... malevolent, so dramatic. like i can imagine Damon Gant on the 81238016th floor of the police station playing the organ and the people down at the basement hearing it through the pipes. and the church vibe is kinda illustrating Gant as this self-righteous, divine individual who loves to play God because he’s got the systematic power. the location elevates the narrative here and further fleshes out the characters. 10/10 love

1. Viola Hall: this is a masterpiece. this is not only a location straight out of an excellent Scooby-Doo episode, but it’s also so majestic. looking at it transports you into the moment. imagine wearing your best tux/gown, gathering for a tv show convention of all things, the food being delicious, the company being lovely, and all of a sudden there’s both a murder and a kidnapping. i live. honey, i live, truly. and the fact that in the end Maya has 0 PTSD from getting kidnapped and they all celebrate there because the two misogynist disasters Juan Corrida and Matt Engarde have been eliminated - chaotic excellence.

EXU 6: “The Gift Among the Green”

Hello everyone and welcome to my liveblogs for this week’s episode of Exandria Unlimited: “The Gift Among the Green.” I absolutely loved the worldbuilding that Aabria gave us in this episode, and some of the character moments--especially with Opal--were truly so emotional. I am both so ready and not ready at all for these final two episodes! 

- This cozy Matt look is really working for me, personally (plus Omar’s outfit is so cute!)

- Fy’ra Rai calling Dorian “little brother” is gonna get me every time isn’t it  😭

- DARIAX AND HIS 0 PERCEPTION CHECK IS SO ON BRAND.... it’s okay baby boy.... we’ve all been there....

- Dorian getting the crown again via his friends skinny dipping into an ancient civilization... EXU once again being peak D&D

- A PUPPY??? Googol my beloved! (Oh and now Googol has the scary crown... this went downhill so quickly oh my lord)

- Ruidus has been mentioned... I just got flashbacks to that hour long Exandrian moon theories video on Youtube.... give me the moons lore Matt and Aabria!

- YES DORIAN LORE DORIAN LORE 

- Oooh, his real name is Bronte... I wonder what his last name is and why he refuses to say it? He must be some sort of nobility, right?  👀

- Orym admitting to checking out Dariax during the skinny dipping LMAOOO Liam’s characters will just always gravitate towards Matt’s magic men

- FEARNE’S PARENTS LEFT HER 50 YEARS AGO?? So she has spent almost half her life without them... oh my love 😭

- Dariax LIED to the group and about Tharla Starr too, he is so precious

- “I’ve never done anything without Ted” :((( Love them

- Dariax saying to the Observer “there’s been a lot of people in my head recently” reminds me of one of my favorite Yasha lines, “There’s been a lot of people in my head and I don’t want to give them you” and now I’m emo again

- “That’s called... branding” I mean, Dariax is not wrong LMAO Dorian has one of those names where you just want to say the first name and last name together

- HUH? Who/what did Opal see in the mirror? At first I thought maybe Ted, but Ted would look like Opal (ie: not blue eyes) right? Curiouser and curiouser....

- Oh, she saw her mother.... baby girl... Opal is making me sad today, Aimee has done such an incredible job with this character 😭

- FY’RA KAI IS ALIVE???

- Orym got a seed! I wonder what sort of seed! (Or maybe they said and I missed it...)

- That group Perception check was..... rough

- HUH??? Someone got Opal with a dart, but they are in the ancient city so did someone sneak into the city or is there someone after her that is a resident of this place?

- LIAM SAYING CALEB INSTEAD OF ORYM I MISS HIM ALREADY TOO  😭 😭

- A chase scene?! Let’s gooooo

- This derailing into a conversation about gender and sex in the animal kingdom is so valid of them dfgdhjkfl

- Wait, I didn’t know Word of Radiance was a 5e spell.... any Stormlight Archive fans here who know exactly what I was thinking of when I heard her say it...

- “Save Opal--and get my axe back!” Priorities on point :’)

- MEAT BEAST??? PUPPOS??? 

- Ashley’s two Natural 1s in a row...  😭

- Opal Misty Stepping on to the back of Dire Wolf!Fearne is so badass, I love that imagery so much... anytime someone uses that spell it ends up being so freaking cool

- Wait why was Opal kidnapped again? Or do we not know yet?

- Fy’ra Rai going “I tell you all these things with two slaps on the back!” made me laugh so hard tbh sfghdjkld that’s just how D&D works sometimes, I wasn’t even questioning it until she pointed it out!

- The way Ashley went “I apologize” in that long drawn out way was so funny dfgdhjk

- Huzzah for getting the Ring of Invisibility, that’s so cool! But also YIKES IT WAS THE PURPLE PEOPLE WHO WERE AFTER OPAL?? HOW COME??

- Dariax’s Opal impression going “Help me Ted!~” before spellcasting truly made me laugh out loud quite literally fsghjkdl (timestamping it at about 4:22:28 on the VOD, 4:07:28 on YT)

- Poor Opal is in shock isn’t she :(((

- NOOOOOO I DON’T WANT ANJALI TO GOOOO I was lowkey hoping that she would stay with the group for the rest of the time, she feels like such a key part of them now!

- “Don’t worry... I would do anything for my friends.” This is still giving me Dorian Corruption Arc vibes and I am not mad about it... what if he makes the same bad turns/choices as he did previously (that Fy’ra Rai is referencing) but this time it’s not because he thinks he’s better off alone, it’s because he does it for the sake of his found family? This is not a theory just an angst dump but woof I love how much potential this storyline has

- I like “the Chosen Ones” as a name so much! Maybe not as much as “the Natural Ones” as I saw suggested in the chat, but hey it’s still a keeper ;)

- Ooh, so is this Ted’s body that someone found? Or is it more of a metaphysical imagery of Ted, ie inside of Opal’s mind? I am so intrigued at what’s to come in these last two episodes!

- See You Next Thursday friends! ;)
