Dripped out at Comic Con
so naturally i was up at 1am the other night watching tdp related youtube videos and i figured i'd watch the 2020 comic con panel since it'd been a while and oh my god some of this shit
(also just me talking about how much i love this cast)
"IT IS I, DARK_MAGE_DAD420" i cannot believe that is real
aaravos: "if i want to do a screen call, i must perform a cosmic blood ritual. with a mortar and pestle. AND FLOATING KNIVES" you are fucking kidding me (edit: i realize that pertains to what he did in s2 but still like "cosmic" "ritual" "knives"? cmon)
jason simpson playing the ukulele. that's all.
jack: *talking about how he had a baby in quarantine* eric: i've been doing a lot of gardening... uh i haven't had a baby, but you never know! i mean if it's possible through social distancing aaron: if anybody can make that happen through social distancing it's aaravos you are F U C K I N G KIDDING ME
racquel: some fun things i did- i uhh died my own hair and burned my scalp and i would like to inform you all it's finally healed and we're good to go, i'm ready to do it again! i'm obsessed with the fact that racquel is quite literally claudia irl
the ttm read is awesome. jack came with the Rayla Voice fucking PREPARED oh my god
i don't think i've ever actually talked about the dnd sketch but it is one of my favorite things in the entire world
rayllum in this sketch is amazing particularly callum he is SO down bad like "my character is a mysterious elf assassin with two beautiful blades to match my two beautiful eyes~~ ✨" like hello that's canon idc if it's a sketch that is canon
"my character cannot help but look at her. he locks eyes with rayla's mage" "....there will be time for roleplaying later" HELLO THATS GOLD
viren in this skit is genuinely one of the funniest things i've ever seen. i cannot emphasize enough this is comedy
necromancer ezran. i think about him daily.
s: "i start swinging my sword at, uhh, idk, rayla's mage" r: "WAIT WHAT" c: "uh wait wait i take it back MY SWORDS GLEAM INTO THE LIGHT AS I LEAP TO THE DEFENCE OF THE BEAUTIFUL MAGE!" s: "hey no takebacks!" sibling ass fight i love them
"LIKE WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY DO?"
i rolled a 1 😐
i loot their corpses for blood >:D
"do elves have four toes?" "i always assumed that they would have 6 so they could learn how to count to 20" paula my love
someone get sasha some hamantaschen
i don't need arc 3 actually i just need the beta script including as many guns n roses references as possible
racquel: ok call me crazy, call me crazy... jesse: you're crazy, racquel racquel: THANK YOU FINALLY they are literally just them
"I WILL NOT BE POSTING A SINGLE THING ABOUT ICE, FOR I AM JULIA" (okay but.... venous frigoris anyone?)
paula: ugh, no one likes soren jesse: well no one likes rayla racquel: you two should fight 😈
long hard sigh
bonus: jason: literally no one likes viren so let's move on
"how old is bait?" "sasha, how old do you think bait is?" "3."
"is-is a glow toad kinda like a toad?" "................kind of"
i fucking love sasha have i ever mentioned that i fucking love sasha
"i think that he's 56." "either 3 or 56 only, apparently"
the saga announcement is great i love how everyone's is so excited they don't even know all of their characters are about to be destroyed physically and emotionally
the way aaron says it so fucking funny "is there gonna be a season 4?" "uh so i think it's really important to emphasize: yes-"
"i too want to cry" "just cry, just-" "IT'S A PANDEMIC. NO TEARS. THERE'S NO CRYING IN A PANDEMIC." "...where is this rule coming from?"
and finally there were a handful of moments that i could not do justice by transcribing in a post so here is a masterfully edited compilation i made
this was actually for me personally trust they told me in a dream
this one looks better in the dark, so click to see it in its full eerie glory
Terry has entered the shipping ring for me and thinking about him and Soren has me cracking up like
Terry: I'm sorry I tied you up with plants once Soren: could you do it again
I don't care how it happens, Father Time sneezes and an upsy-daisy happens. The usual suspects are up to shinnanigans... Hob accidently breaks some magical macguffin. But I really want to see 1389 Hob and 2022 Hob get mixed up in time.
Just think of it, 1389 cocksure Hob with non of the hesitancy of his 2022 counterpart. Grabbing poor, unsure and touch starved 2022 Dream like, I don't know where I am, or what the f*ck that is...(Insert convenient modern appliance) But this pretty is mine and I'll personally rip a new one in anyone who tries to take him/hurt him/ makes him pull the sad, weepy eyes face...With zero moral fucks given.
And 2022 Hob with all that patience and wisdom he's built up over 600 years... Dealing with the petulant, man child of an Endless Dream was in 1389. Dream about to break into an indignant rant about who does this insignificant human peasant think he is! ? How very dare!! ... Only to immediately be put in his place by Hob in peak professor mode.
It can get put right eventually. But the potential scenarios are just to delicious. 😅
Corvus: I am dating the dumbest man ever, but if anyone tries to take him from me, I'll slit their throat.
Fuck, man. It's past my bedtime I do not have the time or energy to unpack any of that.
I can't iterate precisely how yet, but this did change something in me. There's a sort of... hopeful determination that definitely wasn't there 4 hours ago.
"The best and most important thing is doing the little things consistently, deliberately, and with love" is something I really, really needed to hear right now.
u know what makes me cry..... that one van gogh quote about life changing for the better..... “many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. and it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘what do i care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ yes, evil often seems to surpass good. but then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. one morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. and so i must still have hope.” yeah..... Crying....
I've seen so much shit about TDP season 7 being bad and like. What??? It's actually so good. Maybe it's just bc I'm more of a casual enjoyer (still obsessed) but like I thought it was really good. It all made so much sense to me, and I felt like everyone was still in character. Like even Harrow being in the bird made sense, I thought it was a bit silly but like, isn't that the point of the show. It's still a show made for kids (even though it gets very dark) it's gonna be a little silly. And honestly I loved that it was, it aligns so much with Leola's Last Wish. (Paraphrased) All children should know they are loved even in the dark. And to me that's part of what love is, smiles and silliness even (and especially) through the dark times. And after all why shouldn't Harrow be alive? Haven't Ez and Callum deserved enough pain already? And like the dragons killing Aaravos so Ez didn't have to, and/or Callum didn't have to use dark magic makes sense. The dragons have been helping/sacrificing stuff for them this whole time. Why not kill Aaravos too. Yes Aaravos will be back in 7 years, but that's 7 years they can use to learn and grow and find a better solution. I might make a more detailed post about this later. It just makes me so sad (? Idk how to describe what I'm feeling) to know that people were disappointed with it/think it's bad. I know it's bc it's just that important to them but I wish they could enjoy the wonderful masterpiece that is the entire show and each individual season and episode in turn.
