#the mighty nein rewatch

[justalittlebluetiefling]

Essek is so happy that they put that tree on the house. They waltzed right in and starting doing the weirdest shit and it’s obviously so fun for him to watch them shake things up.

Beauregard: “Do you know if they had a back entrance?”

Jester: “The goblin, or the—”

Beauregard: “The apothecary.”

Beauregard: “What?”

Jester: “What?”

i forgot laura’s pregnancy announcement, marisha sneezing so hard she cracked a rib, them being named The Mighty Nein, them getting their first magic item info card of the campaign, the first mention of The Gentleman, caleb’s “take them out take them out” backstory tease, the first appearance of the Bad Luck Bandits, them pretending to have “extreme syphilis,” them finding out jester's mom's whole deal, “the Ruby of the Sea is the best lay ever,” and the debut of Pumat(s) Sol all happened in the same episode

The Mighty Nein are so funny because Matt’s just there like, “Lorenzo was supposed to get away. You were not supposed to keep the Happy Fun Ball. You were NOT meat to go to Xhorhas. Trent was supposed to escape—” Mighty Nein just steamrolling their way through their own campaign. They do what they want. The DM’s long-term plans have no authority over this party

A second chance

"And why would we have come running in at the first yelp?" "....because we care about each other." "Oh, f***ing sh**, we do? Amazing, does that apply to you as well?" "...I don't know..." "Oh, I think it does."

I absolutely love Fjord and Beau's friendship and bromance

I can't BELIEVE the first time Essek ever saw him, Caleb was covered in dirt and shit from the street in Asarius, dressed in bondage gear, and carrying one of Essek's stolen beacons. Meet-cute of the century

“I have so many flowers to bring to her”

Step 1: She throws it.

Step 2: I fire.

Step 3: It explodes.

Step 4: No structural damage, only damage to the creature.

I know it's such a cliche at this point to the point of garnering eye rolls, but we really cannot lose sight of the fact that 2x97 is the Most Episode of All Time. You cannot ignore Essek in that episode, obviously, but honestly the fact that that happened only serves to highlight how buckwild everything else was. That was when Veth got her body back. That was when Caleb first directly set his sights on Ludinus. That was when Fjord tried to ask Jester on a date and instead ending up thirdwheeling Yasha and Beau, who WERE essentially on a date. That was when Jester locked Sharpe on the balcony. That was when Cad got Beau SO high and Fjord was forced to babysit. That was when Fjord and Yasha told Marius he had to kill someone to stay on the crew.

If any ONE of these things had happened on top of the Essek reveal, it would've been notable or memorable, but no, the BREADTH of unhinged happenings in that episode is actually stunning.

fjord: if you don’t come underwater with us…..idk maybe you won’t get a cut of the loot, that could happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

jester: nott. I understand if you don’t want to come with us, but you saved my life before and I don’t feel as comfortable down there if you aren’t with us

nott: fjord you could learn a thing or two from jester. she looks into people’s hearts, makes them feel seen. and you? you are just a BASTARD MAN

fjord:

fjord:

fjord: I heard there’s a BUTTON FACTORY at the bottom of the ocean—

nott: this fucker
