Love Brennan preparing to say Gorgug’s name as Telemaine and surprising himself at what comes out. Love watching the other players be surprised. The pronunciation is great. The shock is better

Thinking about how the moon just reflects the sun’s light. Can Galicaea ever truly be separate from Sol? Are they doomed to always be reflections of one another?

I feel like a series of very funny bits is a good way to win a high school student government position. Kristen is campaigning and it’s probably at least decently effective, especially next to Four Dogs who no one likes

Listen, do I ship Riz and Fabian? Absolutely not. Riz is aroace. However, something distinctly queer is happening here. Comphet much? Fabian continuously bringing up The Ball instead of getting his kisses in. I mean come on.

in recognition of World Down Syndrome Day on March 21

Simultaneously very excited to hear the new pronunciations of Gorgug’s name and also terrified. Nothing has made Gorgug as angry as Telemaine and with these new rage mechanics… seems bad

Baron is returning?! Absolutely horrifying. Cannot wait

Buddy Dawn makes me the most angry of all the ratgrinders. That passive aggressive derision. Thinking he’s better than everyone else. The perfect parallel of how that was Kristen in freshman year. It’s brutal and that interaction was so tough to watch. I need Kristen to take his worldview apart so badly

Never say that Lou Wilson doesn’t commit to the bit. He could have had Fabian vomit in front of his friends. Instead he shit his pants so hard that it flew at the teacher in front of his whole class. Commitment to the bit

Today is the day, the day we’ve all been waiting for.

Today

We descend into

🔥THE VULTURE DIMENSION 🔥

Interesting that Ruben didn’t do anything besides give out bardics. Almost like killing rats doesn’t teach you anything and he’s useless in real combat. Excited to see what the other ratgrinders fight like

A dildo lawnmower came out and it wasn’t the craziest thing to happen in that episode. This season is really just on another level of chaos

The vulture dimension?

The fucking VULTURE DIMENSION????

I have three exams before now and next episode, but all I can think about is vulture dimension. About to fail every class.

How can I function when vulture dimension is just out there?

I can’t. The answer is I can’t.

I put the spinach in a smoothie. The whole thing tastes like spinach. Life was a mistake

I did NOT need to be called out like this. Yes, I spent this morning eating spinach directly from the bag. I do not understand what to do with spinach. I know I am supposed to eat it so I will take it like medicine. I am glad to know I am not alone in this experience

Getting the desire to rewatch Crown of Candy… it’s a bad idea. Shouldn’t do it. Absolutely wrecked my shit last time

Trying to explain to my mom how and why I relate to this little hissing goblin man was an insane feat of strength and will. She understands nothing about dnd and knows nothing about fantasy high. I really gave her no context. She understood nothing but she tried and that’s worth something

The way Brennan says “ketchup” is crazy. I have never heard anyone say it like that before. Could not focus on anything happening due to the way Brennan says “ketchup”

adaine summoning the mall cop thinking brennan would ever play law enforcement as being helpful is the biggest oversight siobhan's made in a combat episode

I started listing queer characters as a part of this essay and I’m going to have to ask to go over the word count. There’s so many. Oh my god

I’m writing an essay about dropout and how it’s different than other streaming platforms, but it means I need to seriously write in an essay that I will turn in to my professor for a grade “in the episode ‘hot dog wrapped in ham’ Mulligan talks about his work on the Occupy Wall Street movement…” and I need to find a way for this to sound serious

I love how Kipperlilly Copperkettle was so clearly meant to be a foil for Riz but instead Kristen decides to run for president. Not the guy who needed more extracurriculars, but the person who really needs to focus on a completely different thing or a god will die and she will fail school. Then Adaine decides she hates Kipperlilly and starts calling her anything besides her actual name. Riz doesn’t seem more specifically bothered by her than the other ratgrinders. Ally has gone so unhinged this season it is messing with Brennans narrative plans

Every episode I think “surely, things will get better. Surely, they—at the very least—cannot get worse.” Every episode I am somehow proven incorrect

Y’all I just got my score back and I did so well. Multi class achievement test has got nothing on me anymore. I am finally prepared for new episodes. I am immune to jumpscares now.

Feel bad for my friends who will have to listen to be brag every time it comes up

MCAT jumpscare at the next episode preview. Why Brennan why??? I watch D20 to get away from the MCAT! Why would you do this to me?

Need someone to edit Murph rolling bad to this

I don’t understand what I just watched. I just know it was fucking awesome

we all know about "yes and" and "no but" in improv and ttrpgs, but I feel like Brennan has added a third option called "sorry what" just for playing with Emily (saying her words back to her when she tells him that a caterpillar was chasing a butterfly or that this note was left on the steps of the police house)

I love Brennan’s “yes and-ing” this episode.

Yeah sure, fill a pool with sauce and jump into it from a motorcycle. You want a special ramp to do it from?

You wanna give a speech to the steelworkers? Sure! Just go ahead and attack the receptionist.

I think I said “what the fuck is happening?” no less than 20 times.

I think the choice that Ally made that made Brennan want to quit is happening next episode and I’m so scared. Just tell people about your god! Stop diving into swimming pools full of tartar sauce! I do understand why Kristen isn’t doing it though. She has this big mental block, probably a combination of trauma and ADHD that won’t let her do what she’s supposed to. To us, the audience it seems simple what she’s supposed to do, but the other bad kids don’t ever berate her for not doing it. They understand that it wouldn’t help and would just make her feel worse. As someone who often struggles with executive functioning, I love this.
