On one hand Beau telling her father "don't let him choke on it" in regards to giving TJ her necklace is entirely literal because he's a two year old chewing on a necklace, but on the other there's an incredible metaphor in her telling her father not to let his other child be choked and smothered by something that's a symbol of her father's overprotectiveness

Essek "dramatic bitch" thelyss has not one not two but THREE wizard towers

Oh my fuckig god this fireside chat is so chaotic... Half an hour in Matt and marishas house is filling with smoke, all the alarms are going off, the rest of the cast is calling them, and they have to break to fix it sjhfjsbdjsndjsnfndn

Beau: mentions something being better than frumpkin

Caleb, immediately: nothing's better than frumpkin that's ridiculous! I thought that thing made you smarter!

I love how the cast insisted Matt give himself a "how do you want to do this" and then all cheered and freaked out when he said it that's so cute

The cast is throwing cookies at each other to snack on while the mighty nein are talking to essek during their dinner party and I like to think the mighty nein are doing the same thing with caddy's cheese and vegetable plate while essek monologues

Jester: Molly knew things!!! He was so smart!!!

Taliesin: cackles madly in the background

[critical-yeast]

Trent: is creepy, calls Caleb bren

Mighty nein, collectively: do you want us to kill that guy for you? Because he sounds like he sucks and we would totally kill that guy for you

Essek asking Caleb for a demonstration of his magical prowess and Caleb making a bigass cat paw in between them, right in esseks face, wiggling it's toes... Offering magic lessons.... Caleb USING THE CAT CLAW TO OPEN THE DOOR...... Is this how wizards flirt??

Amazing how Matthew Mercer is able to sound like a swarm of bees, a single fly, a petulant frog, dozens of different distinct people... Like I know he's a professional voice actor but what the fuck

THEY NEVER GAVE THE BATS THEIR BREAD

[critical-yeast]

Pretty sexy of essek to share heavily guarded state secrets with a human from the empire like that

[critical-yeast]

Hhgf Caleb asks a super philosophical question and caddy monologues with an extended metaphor about gardening for like five minutes and ends it off with a comment about how french fries need vinegar or else they're bland

[critical-yeast]

I like to think that when essek pulls stuff (book, cupcake, etc) into his cloak he's hoversitting cross-legged and just holding it in his lap

[critical-yeast]

"as the former weakest member of the group" fucking burn caleb

Hhhfhej Laura joked that Astrid came down from boning Trent to talk to Caleb and Matt's face of complete and utter disgust was amazing
