#because some of you are fucking weirdos when it comes to orym and you can go bother someone else

If I see one more take about Orym being "secretive" in taking the sword, I swear I might start screaming. The dude walked up to Chet in front of everyone, asked for access to the Bag of Holding, took the sword out (in front of everyone) and left with it. Then he came back with the sword strapped to his back... IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. There was ample time for someone to speak up if they wanted to and Orym, quite frankly, didn't have reason to expect it would be an issue. Laudna may have used the lack of discussion as part of her cycle of justifications for her actions, but that doesn't mean it was 1) the main issue she was actually dealing with or 2) an unsolvable problem that required a rash response even if that had been Laudna's primary issue.

✨I’m gonna make this and no one can stop me!!✨

I decided to listen to the first episode of campaign 3 again because I had nothing else to do and I realized that Bell’s Hells are actually a bit different from where they first started.

It’s of course character development and the players getting comfortable playing their new characters, but I thought about how much the characters have changed from episode 1 all the way to now.

Obviously not every character has been through the same amount of growth throughout to campaign so far, but these are some of the things I personally noticed.

(Feel free to add in case I missed something. This is just what my brain has observed)

Ashton

Then:

- Was distrustful

- Only did things for money

- Wasn’t sure how to feel about FCG

Now:

- Would murder anyone for FCG

- Greatly cares for their friends

- Is willing to give people a chance (but if you fuck it up you are not getting a second one)

- Most likely has abandonment issues

Laudna

Then:

- Living life to fullest and having fun

- Is not actually as scary as she seems

- Probably alright being a little off putting

Now:

- Is dealing with so much trauma and is trying to cope with it

- Doesn’t want anything to happen to the first person that actually gave her a chance in years

- Is actually really scary and maybe doesn’t want to be?

FCG

Then:

- Little ball of sunshine

- No thoughts, head empty

- Wants to help anyway they can

Now:

- Is having an existential crisis because their whole life was a lie

- Is now slowly dealing with burnout, but doesn’t know how to handle it

- Is not only dealing with his trauma, but his friends trauma as well (It’s taking a number on him)

- Is still coming to terms with the fact that he might actually be sentient and a living creature

Imogen

Then:

- Is more shy and tries to hide herself

- Soft spoken

- Doesn’t like swearing

- Doesn’t know how to feel about all the new voices in her head now that she’s traveling with more people

Now:

- Is more assertive (with a soft voice still)

- More confident and vibrant, but still stays quiet when need be

- Literally swears every other sentence

- Is a badass and also terrifying

Fearne

Then:

- Does things because she feels like it

- Is here for the chaos

- Is full of love and support

Now:

- Is still very similar, but she’s trying to figure things out

Orym

Then:

- Parent of the group

- There to protect others (He’s a guard so it makes sense)

- Seems well put together

Now:

- Is dealing with the grief of loosing his husband

- Is paranoid that something could happen to the group

- Is starting to lean back and be an older sibling rather then a parent

Chetney

Then:

- Crazy old gnome man

- Silly goofy werewolf (Recognize the Alpha)

- Is a bit lonely

Now:

- Is still a silly old gnome werewolf

- Genuinely cares about his friends even though he may seem cruel

Dorian

Then:

- Cheerful bard having a good time

- Cares deeply for his friends

- Is a dork

Now:

- Is a runaway prince

- Just wants to be free

- Doesn’t want to be something he’s not

TL;DR

Traumatized and neglected people from across Exandria felt lost and alone, but found a group of weirdos like them. Now they can all grow and learn to be themselves without fear.

(The fact that so much development has already happened in less then 30 episodes is amazing. They all bring out the best in each other.

And because Bell’s Hells are so genuine and caring towards weirdos and others who don’t fit in, it lead them to being manipulated by someone who used them for their own personal gain without a care for the Hells’ wellbeing.)

They’re just a bunch of weirdos, and weirdos have to stick together.
