ep 4: arms race
welcome to ep 4, i dont think i have anything to preface this with so just umm SPOILERS AHEAD
0:02:52 grizz (as runt): "dragon deez nuts across yo forehead!" troy: "dude what" grizz: "she didn't say that in character, okay?!"
0:03:12 troy: (to the dragon nuzzling runt) "dude she told you to STOP" troy proceeds to be an ass and almost kill blink (on accident but. like.) (the one time i really actually hate troy's actions, i forgot that he basically tried to punt a dog, i can't really defend him here. i mean he probably is really shaken up and has been thru a lot in a short period of time, likely lowkey traumatic, but like. still. its fucked up. i just ignore that he did this lmfao)
0:05:20 blink: "WHY WOULD YOU ATTACK THE DRAGON??" troy: "IT BREATHED FIRE ON ME!!" runt: "don't fuckin do that again!" blink: "yeah they do that, thats- dragons- dragons do that!" troy: "well-" bizly: "you know that" troy: "i know that!" (laughter ensues) blink: "sometimes it singes a little bit!" runt: "you're way too fuckin fast to- to resort to violence!" troy: (mid getting chewed out) "one second there's something shiny over there"
0:08:46 grizz: (just got done explaining the really cool shit runt got, after condi had talked about the cool thing blink got) bizly: "alright, troy?" charlie (as troy): "alright, that's a really cool sled" bizly: "so wh- what- what i-" charlie (as troy): "um yah i mean, i- im gonna take that" bizly: "just a sled? charlie (as troy): "yeah" bizly: "there's just a sled?" condi: "just a really cool sled" bizly: "is there like a.. a thing about it, specifically?" charlie (as troy): "um. i already told you" bizly: "that it's-it's cool?" charlie (as troy): "its a really cool sled" bizly: (hype voice) "alright, troy you find a cool sled! dude, and you know what- and you know what's crazy about it? its like, sick." charlie (as troy): "it is sick" condi: "it looks sick, yeah" charlie (as troy) : "dude, they got everything here."
0:12:02 runt: "so i don't really know how this would be possible, but if i'm reading this right, there's like a- a.. particle translator? basically it teleports you from one place to another" troy: "in english- in english!" runt: "yeah, it basically, you be here now, you step on the thing, and you are somewhere else, instantly." troy: "in english" runt: "you go somewhere else. fast" troy: "fine." (runs away)
0:15:25 blink: "you're kidding me- you're- TROY YOU'RE FUCKING KIDDING ME- YOU'RE FUCKING KIDDING ME, TROY" troy: "how would i be kidding you, he's right here" runt: (hands in the air) "they fuckin kid- they- they kidnapped me!" blink: "that- is THAT WHY YOU CAME UP TO ME?? IS THAT WHY YOU CAME UP TO ME SPECIFICALLY AND BEGGED ME FOR HELP?" troy: "yeah that's why i was telling you i had to stick with you no matter what" runt: "help! i've been fucking kidnapped! help! they- they kidnapped me, th- they brought me down here!" blink: "RUNT?? YOU TOO- oh god.." troy: "no this is a good idea- she kidnapped me!" runt: "i- i didn't fuckin do that!" aeon: "this is an interesting place here. kidnappin kids?" runt: "EXACTLY what the- wrong- what the fuck is wrong with you?" troy: "dude, what is- seriously, you have a problem." blink: "are you two serious right now??" (another long one but this is funny asf, troy & runt whispering and plotting to sneak away is so good)
0:16:45 blink: "troy, don't you- don't say a word!" troy: "i'm not sayin anything!" runt: "i'm not sayin anything either!" troy: "we're not sayin anything!"
0:17:00 runt: "this is my boy yort, he's got his tail stuck in his pants" troy yort?: "hey listen, i dunno what your- what your game is here, i dunno what your deal is, but these guys--they helped me get this really cool sled, and if you get any closer to me, i will hit you with it! and it's really cool so you'll prolly instantly die." runt: "he's got a weapon, but he is kidnapped!" troy yort: "i've got a- and i'm crazy, too." /.../ runt: "this guy's fuckin dangerous!" yort: "i'm super dangerous!" blink: "what do you mean bringing one of these guys down here, he fell down the hole and i was trying to help him get back up-" yort troy??: (literally starts barking) blink: "-and from the sounds of it- what?? is your PROBLEM troy??" aeon: "they're even worse than i thought"
0:18:31 aeon: "who's the rugrat?" runt: "who the fuck did you just call a rugrat i swear to fucking god, what's the fucking problem-" troy: "dude, runt, do you wanna escalate this? cuz i am down to escalate this- i do not appreciate the way you are talking to her!" runt: "do you- do you know where you are? cuz i don't think you know where you are-" troy: "do you fuckin know who she is? she is fuckin smartest girl in the world- she's in your fuckin head, dude." runt: "yknow what? that's it" (charges up her shit) troy: (readies his sled) runt: "you better watch yourself, okay, i'm kidnapping YOU now"
0:19:34 troy: "ah- there's no shot, i mean i think we should just beat the shit out of these guys" runt: "for once, i'm with you!" troy: "that's what i'm fuckin sayin!" (fistbumps runt) runt: "let's do it!"
0:22:05 bizly: "this boomerang comes down and slashes at your face, with the spikes on the front of it. and- it gives you a big long cut along the side of your face." (this visual is cool and i love the idea of troy now having a cool scar) troy: "alright, you just fucked up the moneymaker" aeon: "yknow, i was gonna bring you back to the surface, but now i think you're going to stay down here with me." troy: "why would stay with someone who threw a boomerang at me??" (beats the absolute living shit out of her with his sled)
0:23:55 the imagery and flavoring for blink using magic missile is so cool
0:25:44 blink: "dude they're- ah shit, they're air juggling you!" troy: "ah fuck, dude- they're juggling me!" blink: "no get away from the wall- get away from the wall they're gonna combo you!" troy: "i'm comboed dude, i'm in it- i'm getting wall bounced, i'm getting fucking wall bounced" blink: "they're gonna wall break you- dude they're wall breaking- ah shit" troy: "dude, they're mixing me up! they're mixing me up this isn't fair!" runt: "your bones kinda look like jello right now"
0:31:33 condi: "bizly, would it ruin everything if i burnt this place down so they couldn't get anything from here?" bizly: "no" grizz (as runt): "we are all in here" charlie (as troy): "dude, i'm just in a pile of grease, i'll be fine!"
0:32:14 TURBO TROY
0:36:11 runt: "my gam gams says that two wrongs don't make a right. and there's a lotta smoke in here" (coughing) "theres like fuckin- it's fillin up, i will leave your ass!" blink: "troy, she's already got a bad cough" troy: "ah shit, alright, alright, no worries, alright" runt: "it's not that fuckin bad, it's just the smoke!" troy: "dude it's all good, listen, i'm the team captain and i'm ready to go down for the ship, you guys get outta here!" runt: "word!" (cackling ensues) blink: "okay- i mean, yeah, that's one- that's another thing off the checklist, cool, um just need to deliver this letter now." (okay but. troy willing? to literally die for them ,, (and them just lowkey being like aight bet tho lmfao))
0:37:29 runt: "lets think this through, okay? if he dies in the fire, then that's one less problem we gotta deal with. he DID say he was gonna go up there and- and- and tell his fuckin father, who makes those fuckin soldiers" (coughing) "that we live down here, and that's gonna be a big fuckin problem, don't you think? plus, also, don't you kinda get a murderous vibe from this guy? what's stopping him from turning his sled on us next?" blink: "shit, you're right, but-" runt: "-and it's getting really hot in here," troy: (in the distance) "IM GOING TURBO" (banging his sled on things) (dude is NOT helping his case) blink: (looks at runt, somber look in his eye) "i can't just let him die."
0:40:40 (troy showing his loyalty and willingness to do anything for those he views as belonging to his team) (for better or worse)
0:41: 12 grizz (as runt): "runt math- 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25- alright, 25, i dont give a fuck, i count on my fingers" charlie (as troy): "fuck yeah, runt math!!"
0:41:38 bizly: "dude just imagining you like standing there, saying 'ah shit,,, fuck,,' with A DAGGER IN YOUR CHEST is REALLY KINDA FUCKIN NUTS DUDE" (mimics getting stabbed in the chest) "'aw shit dude, .. wait fuck,, fuck dawg!'"
0:43:10 TROY'S DOWN IN THE GODDAMN FIRE
0:47:54 elevator tequila!
0:48:10 runt: (stabalizes troy) "i woulda done that for that fuckin chick that you like, had the hots for, but uh- they pulled her away!" blink: "i don't have 'the hots' for her." runt: "really? you seen she fuckin beat- beat the shit out of him, well, actually- blink: "-she's just a childhood friend okay? i don't wanna hurt her. there's a lotta history there." runt: ".. how long's this elevator ride?" blink: "i dunno, we came down a long way" runt: (singing along to the tequila elevator music) "tequila!"
0:48:49 runt can convene with god (which actually in retrospect is nuts cuz she eventually does convene with (a) god?? lmao)
0:49:13 blink: (explaining his history w/ aeon) (as runt had literally asked) runt: "woah, the fuck- way to trauma dump! oh my gawd" /.../ runt: "so like- how does- how does that translate into becoming the mailman??"
0:51:09 (charlie's wiggling pretending to be slapped awake by runt is so funny)
addendum: this one ended up insanely long w/ like every piece of dialogue again lmfao (they're too good at being funny and entertaining lmfao) (out of curiosity i calculated it and w/ 26 moments i included here, and this ep being ~56.5 minutes (including! the stuff before/after the actual content) something funny happened, according to my standards, approx. every 2 minutes,, oops)
wonderlust favorite moments/interactions/scenes/etc + notes from multiple rewatches
this is a collection of all my favorite moments, scenes, interactions, and so on (as well as interesting observations that ive noticed through my multiple rewatches) from wonderlust. this is mostly for myself lmao
NOTE: so far, i only got thru ep 1 because. im tired and its almost 4 am lmao. i do wanna get thru all the eps for this tho so :3
style conventions(so i rember qwq): things are listed chronologically, by episode, with timestamps (h:mm:ss). i also (vaguely) color coded dialogue, just the PCs w/ their colors (troy in red, runt in purple, blink in green). if there is dialogue between the lines im highlighting, there will be "/.../" followed by the next line im including. finally, additional notes/thoughts/etc from me will be in small text, italicized parenthases (like this)
this will be updated as i rewatch episodes or watch new episodes :]
WARNING: beyond this point, there WILL be spoilers. proceed at your own risk!
ps: if there is anything that isnt here that you think is worthy, feel free to add on! also, there are very likely typos and/or formatting errors so. oopsie :3 (did try my best to make sure there werent)
pps: many of these will likely involve troy because im so brainrot for this guy but i do really love them all and their dynamics :3
episode 1: one man's trash
0:06:14 troy: "well then- the the fuckin uh, i gue- i guess they'll- i guess they'll fuckin- i guess when they- i guess-"
0:07:42 baby's first troy math
0:11:50 the incident
0:17:30 troy: "my names troy and i'm never gonna die!" (this note was taken when ep 23 was the latest--so far its true, but i suppose we'll see if it continues to do so)
0:37:30 this whole interaction with runt and her cousins is just adorable and i lobv it
0:45:43 ♪♫ you gotta be careful, little runt ♫♪
0:46:40 runt: "you're goddamn right uncle threestrings, why don't they give you a record deal?" uncle threestrings: "....... hohh.." (also charlie's face during this reacting to the song lmfao)
0:47:22 uncle threestrings: "if you don't come back-" runt: "ah-" uncle threestrings: "-if you don't-" runt: "i will come back." uncle threestrings: "i just need to know somethin... how many cups do ya think they got up there?"
0:58:06 pinch: "doppler we need to break this thing or somethin-" runt: "no, don't- don't break it :[" /.../ runt: "i wanna keep it!"
1:14:24 runt: "they got this big fuckin circle in the sky too, what the fuck is that?" uncle threestrings: ".. circle? who made that?" runt: "i don't know!" uncle threestrings: "how'd they put it there?"
1:28:08 cut: "she want another one?" blink: "gran- yeah, granny granite wants a slice of cake, she took my package. you know how it is, this happens every time!" cut: "i'm gonna run out, i'm gonna run out, she's just gonna eat it all-" blink: "how! how are you gonna run out?! what do you mean-" cut: "she's just gonna eat it all!" blink: "but she's so old and slow!" (i love blink's outbursts lmfao)
1:33:05 immediate simping for aeon as her design is revealed ("id let her beat me up" lmfao)
1:37:07 (realizing i didn't put together before how he somehow got his steamsled back, obv upon rewatch i know it's because of his capture but just interesting to think about how that slipped by me the first time and catching it in subsequent watches)
1:37:51 baby's first "YOU DUDE" blink: (starts running) troy: "don't play hard to get with me dude, i'll fucking catch you, i'll fucking catch you no matter how fuckin long you run i will keep running, i'm an endurance animal of a human being" (sprinting) "you can flee now- i can track you, dude"
1:39:45 (cont. from scene above, somewhat) troy: "dude, there's no need to be such a fucking freak-" blink: "what the fuck-" troy: "-i'm just trying to talk to you-" blink: "-what the fuck are you-" troy: "-i just wanted to say... i just wanted to tell you that i'm fuckin cool, and you have gotta run with me, dude, if you wanna make it down here."
1:40:31 troy believes he's at furcon, blink calls him fantasy slurs (also he "loves birds" wauw)
1:42:17 here troy says that blink's his only ticket out, and when blink asks why him troy says he's not supposed to tell him :0
1:43:06 troy: "oh, yeah, i do have a combrussion"
1:47:00 bizly: (rolls a two against troy & blink's stealth) "dude, a two, a TWO, you're fine! you're fine." charlie (in troys voice): "yah, dude i fuckin know,"
1:49:06 the making of yort (& knilb)
1:50:12 blink: "let's-let's tackle this one thing at a time, okay?" troy yort: "alright, dude, i'm fuckin, i'm yort"
1:51:45 troy yort: "have you ever heard the saying, one guy's trash is another dude's.. fuckin,,.. coo- like- fuckin shit."
1:52:22 blink: "i don't wanna- i'm gonna be frank, the more you talk, the more i don't want to help you." troy yort: "dude, who the FUCK is frank, dude? why do you wanna be him? we already got you a cool name??"
1:54:09 troy yort: "cogs? we literally, like, live, breathe, and eat cogs up there, man. i mean, we also use it as money, but you know what i mean. we DONT eat, breathe, or live it, we just use it as money."
1:54:40 cloudspire hoohah rise up
1:54:46 blink: "what are you saying??" troy yort: "dude, you are just ridiculous, man, i-i don't even know where to start. i mean like, so basically, i'm like the shit."
1:55:12 just a straight roll like man and woman missionary fuckin dude fucking a woman straight roll troy yort: "honestly sometimes i think about guys"
1:57:20 (i just love how, even tho troy JUST met blink, he's already so willing to back him up. he doesn't quite understand when he DOES need to stand down but i think it does show he's never been a fully awful person.)
1:57:57 blink: "well we got some, uh, some tetanus shots in here. a few of them have been poked by granny- granny granite, so be careful about that, she's very pokey." arch: "wouldn't want anyone to catch whatever she's got, hahaha!" troy yort: "i'm not sayin anything" baby's first i'm not sayin anything (this whole interaction is so fuckin funny to me)
2:00:42 troy yort: "i don't understand why this is happening?!" blink: "i already told you!!" troy yort: "i didn't say anything!" blink: "you kept saying you weren't saying anything!!!" troy yort: "i thought that's what you wanted!! you need to be CLEAR!!"
2:02:36 bizly: "a blunt arrow comes whizzing by your head." charlie (as troy yort): "fuckin what i just smoke it" once again charlie is possessed by troy
2:06:28 the bit with the old woman and her dead husband's pan and her second husband
2:09:18 graphite's rock and the painting (troy yort keeping the rock after too is so real, i love rocks :3)
2:11:36 troy: "hey graphite, dude, can i level with you?" graphite: ".... suuuuure?" troy: "alright, sick, cuz i think i get some hp from that. maybe some other little goodies." graphite: "you just say things, don't you?" troy: "troy"
ep 3: into the workshop
I WANNA NOTE: i wanna clarify, when i write "player name (as character)" it's for when they are talking/acting as their character, but interacting w/ the DM or otherwise clearly in an OOC way.
as always, spoilers ahead!
ps again i did fix the weirdness i think, it was just a pain
pps there was SO much this episode that i loved, i feel like i overdid it but oh well lmao. i think it has to do with them FINALLY becoming a full team in this ep and. their initial reactions and figuring out their dynamics is just so funny. tbh should've just written the episode transcript /hj
0:07:55 i just love troy calling his sled his "baby girl" (or his "baby child" in the last ep) sm bc its like how i talk about some of my posessions
0:08:30 troy standing up for runt :(((( (even tho they both got a little needlessly aggressive towards blink lmao but like. sibling core)
0:09:58 troy's sled has a custom seat tailored to his ass
0:10:46 charlie (as yort): "alright, athletics check comin in hot, why don't i show you guys, uhh, why they call me turbo troy." charlie (as yort): "uh that is a natural one."
0:13:48 blink: "guys, i have really terrible news, okay, there's a rock up ahead that can maybe- it looks loose, it might fall" runt: "what d'you- what the fuck is a rock going to do against a boulder?!?" yort: "i agree what the fuck is a rock??!??" cue blink trying to chris redfield style punch a rock (and failing)
0:16:16 runt fixing troy's turbo mode on his sled :((
0:17:00 yort: "we're goin right fuckin for it! we're gonna do a risky maneuver, FUCK YOU FUCKIN MAI FROM GREASEMONKEYS!!"
0:21:18 yort: "you're- you're over 50 years old??" blink: "thats crazy, what did you say about wonder coal??" runt: "the first voice clearly wasn't me!?" yort: "no i know but this one is you- so i don-"
0:21:55 okay but what does bizly mean "knowing what i know about troy" he would know where the coal is in his sled (even tho he isn't involved in the maintenance of the sleds), is it just that his dad uses it?? i may be reading into this lmfao
0:22:40 runt: "w-well fuckin back up, yort, they're yours? the- the big fuckin dudes??" yort: "those are our little gu- i mean like, yeah, i mean like they're my dad's" runt: "you're not from reclaim??" yort?: "ah shit, ah fuck-" blink: "fuck i forgot we- yeah- um-" yort?: "i forgot about that!" runt: "who the FUCK are you two and what the FUCK are you doin?!?" yort?: "YOU WANNA FUCKIN DO THIS RIGHT HERE?" /.../ blink: "troy, i'm so sorry man, i mean we said we weren't gonna get close enough for the yort thing to be an issue" yort troy: "honestly- honestly it almost immediately happened" runt: "why didn't i think about it, you called yourself 'turbo troy,' that has nothin to do- what the fuck is a yort???" troy: "i should have said 'yurbo yort'" (this one was way longer than usual but the dumbass way she found out was so funny)
0:24:24 blink: "listen, i mean, runt, my hands are tied, you can stab 'em" troy: "wh-" runt: "you're tellin me-" troy: "dude, hold on a fuckin second, that is not cool-" (also troy literally says he got kidnapped omg? i never realized he continuously just states it. he just says he "cant say who")
0:25:12 the back and fourth arguing and threatening lmfao
0:28:30 troy: "think troy.. think troy.. THINK!!" runt: "woah, don't think too fuckin hard"
0:32:13 charlie (as troy): "yeah i actually just think i'm prolly just gonna have some of this, um, cuz this is a lot, uh, and he just called my dad a baby, i'm prolly gonna just- i'm probably just gonna throw back some dragon's piss" bizly: "are you actually??" grizz: "i didn't call your dad a baby!" bizly: "you're gonna do damage to yourself???" charlie (as troy): "this guy fuckin just called my dad a baby, im gonna drink-" bizly: "i mean, you can do as much damage to yourself as you want, im not gonna stop-" charlie (as troy): "no i just- im not gonna drink this fuckin weirdo's coffee.... i take 11 damage." is now insanely drunk, walks into a glass door, argues with at the clockworks (also the "UGH DAD")
0:41:27 runt: "you said it belongs to your father, so like, take some fuckin responsibility, why dont you" troy: "yeah my- no, my dad and i are just sort of in a rough patch right now is all, so it's just not really like i can do that" runt: "yeah i don't even know where the fuck mine is" (also troy saying he "sometimes feels the same" in regards to what runt said?? omg, just how bad is it? also never realized runt mentioned either of her parents?? i wonder whats up w that?)
0:43:23 cue blink becoming fried chicken (and runt and troy being like "maybe we actually should commit a felony and read this guy's mail") (and them forcing him to continue to do it because "he's the oldest")
0:45:19 blink: (puts the knife in the hands of the future thinkers) (gets shocked AGAIN and goes down) runt: "well, fuck, this is really bad!" troy: "oh he fell asleep i'll get him a coffee" (they up him and he shocks himself again)
0:47:01 (one of my favorite bits) troy: "guys- ive got it guys. lemme get- gimme the dagger" /.../ troy: "check this out" (puts the dagger in the inventor doll's hand) "maybe he was really sad or somethin, and he fuckin killed himself." runt: "did you just say maybe he was really sad and killed himself??" (grizz as runt: "what kinda show do you think we're makin here?") troy: "maybe he was really happy and killed himself, fuck, i don't know what do you want me to say?" charlie: (losing it) "i'm so- the spirit of something else possesses me when i play this fuckin character, dude" (i think the only other character i can say we've seen FULLY possess charlie like troy does was whenever he played edward twilight in the suckening LMAO, the way the guys described charlie playing him is exactly this lmfao)
0:49:47 runt: "he thinks we're here to fuckin kill him??" troy: "hey dude, we're gonna fucking kill you for this, IM GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU FOR THIS!!!" blink: "why is he so paranoid??"
0:50:46 grizz (as runt): "thats 11 damage from turbo fucking troy. what's it look like, does it hurt it?" charlie (as troy): "i fuckin hit it with a fucking steamsled, theres not much to see. BONG"
0:52:08 troy: "nice job runt! you got one of em" runt: "do your fuckin task!!" troy: "i was tryina fuckin be positive, that'll never happen again. fuck you!!"
0:52:38 troy: "you wanna fuckin see a baby playing with fire? gimme a match" runt: "you just called yourself a baby." troy: "fuck.. no i didnt! you heard me wrong- you're stupid!!" runt: "you already know that im not!" troy: "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
0:53:48 condi: "how much- how much- how are you looking?" charlie (as troy): "not super great" condi: "like if you took another one of those hits would you die?" charlie (as troy): "uh yeah probably instantly" (could not tell if that was condi being blink but OOC talk or not, its hard for me to tell lmfao)
0:54:31 troy: (trying to pry open the clockwork w/ his sled) "guys it's just not going" blink: "just keep trying! it's fine! we'll- we'll be done soon!" charlie (as troy): "i look up at his hand coming up again and i take a big sip of the dragon's piss" grizz (as runt): "just fuckin dodge!?" bizly: "do you really??" charlie (as troy): "no- i don't- i don't have an action, i don't have an action. but i would if i did" bizly: "just- it'd just hurt you, it does nothing. i'll let you do it but it'll just kill you" charlie (as troy): "well, yea, but so is this big fuckin hand, so which way am i going to go, you know?"
0:55:10 runt: "troy, these things are fuckin heavy, switch with me!" troy: "keep saying my name cuz it feels like someone's cheering for me" runt: "on second thought, stay where you are." /.../ troy: "SAY MY NAME! SAY MY NAME SAY MY NAME!" (proceeds to chant his own name)
0:55:50 bizly: "it goes down to come on top of you- wait. wait- wait- wait- wait- wait- wait- wait-" grizz (as runt): "PAUSE." bizly: -wait. pause. pause. what did he just say? wait. pause." charlie: "hold on, wait a second guys hold just on one second-" bizly: "one second- one second- charlie: "one second guys- hang on wait just a minute-" blizly: "wait a minute- wait a minute. what did he just say?" charlie: "rewind guys erueueruelru-" bizly: "lets rewind it. eureuurleurelueuret- he comes down, on top of you-" charlie: "he cums comes on me." bizly: "WAIT- WAIT- WAIT- HANG ON. HANG ON." (one of my favorite bits, i need that mug so fucking badly) ((also hope whoever reads this appreciates the effort i took to parse out what they were saying over each other and count the exact number of waits. i listened to this so many times and cried laughing again lmao))
0:56:16 troy: (mid-battle, realized the clockwork cracked his sled) "aight guys im gonna g- im just gonna go home." bizly: "and im gonna give you inspiration!" charlie (as troy): "... whatever." proceeds to brutally rip apart the clockwork "like an animal" (with his hands so that he doesn't "hurt [his] baby anymore") troy: (wraps his hands around the wonderous coal in the clockwork (can't rip it out)) (makes eye contact) "say my name" (bro likes that a little too much)
0:57:28 charlie (as troy): "do you have any idea how hard i can grip?" bizly: "PAUSE- wait-" charlie: "PAUSE- wait-" bizly: "wait- hang on- wait a minute- what did he just say?" condi: "he CANNOT say that."
0:58:23 the boulder comes back for revenge, hits the clockwork and WILL be hitting troy grizz (as runt): "is there any way i can help him by like, tackling him out of the way?" bizly: "the only way you can help him right now is by going 'troy, troy, troy-'" troy: "say- SAY MY FUCKING NAME! SAY MY FUCKING NAME" runt: "im not fuckin doing that" bizly: "IF YOU DO THAT HE GETS ADVANTAGE" troy: (looking at the boulder) "SAY MY FUCKING NAME" /.../ runt: "i would rather you fuckin die than me cheer for you, i dont fuckin know you" troy: (makes eye contact with runt) runt: "TROY LOOK AT THE FUCKIN BOULDER" troy: "runt i know you don't mean it"
0:59:53 troy: "yeah, um. i just- you guys go ahead, i think i'll just-" blink: "maybe down the line?" troy: "no it's cool, uh, it's cool, i- yknow i fuckin- we broke that- that boulder in half with that sled together, and i, yknow, was basically takin- holdin this thing off and uh, pretty much i s- i solved the puzzle all by myself- i pretty much- just cuz i had already figured that would be it, and i made you a coffee. um. but y-yknow it's cool i didn't- uhh didn't fuckin realize that uh, we aren't chill like that, so that's my bad." runt: "are you fuckin done? okay, fuckin baby? god, i thought i was the fuckin youngest one. alright, get over yourself. jesus christ, we did it together, alright good job! now lets get to this fuckin inventor now, huh? we did the thing, you're gonna go home now!"
1:00:45 troy: "alright, troy fuckin has another brain blast, solves another puzzle, um, you guys are prolly gonna be stuck here-" runt: "do you want us to fuckin clap for you? cmon alright" (clapping sarcastically) "put it in there, you can do it, that's a good boy!" troy: "that actually makes me feel a lot better, thank you" runt: (still clapping) "that's a good- thats a good troy! thats a good troy!" (i love these two sm, they're such siblings lmfao)
1:01:48 bizly: "and i'd like you to come tomorrow and tell me what you've found-" charlie: "wait pause. pause." grizz (as runt): "pause. stop. rewind, what did he say?" charlie: "stop- rewind. wait- wait a second- clip that!" bizly: "pause- wait- hang on- stop- wait- pause-"
1:03:17 troy: (actively being kidnapped) "do you have any idea who my father is?? this would be a different story if i had my sled!"
1:04:01 troy: "okay dude listen, i'm already in a frat, so whatever you're trying to do here, its not even gonna work. i've already been initiated" ???: "you are a long way from home, tramilton lougferd." troy: "don't- don't call me that, man i go by tr- i- it's troy. i don't know where you heard tramilton, that's a stupid- that's a ridiculous fucking name"
1:04:31 (troy's just such a little shit i love it, and the way he continuously rambles, clearly so anxious inside, lmao, also "safe word" what?? lmfao what does he get up to with his bros that they have a safe word)
1:08:16 ???: "all you have to do, is be the damsel. confused, lost in a strange world." troy: "yah, i mean that's like, super not me, but i'll give it my best shot" (really makes me wonder how much of his stupidity was just for show, and how much he hides. slight spoiler: in the newest eps we've seen him MASTERFULLY manipulate people, using their perceptions of him, his background, and so on to do so. so i wonder how much was an act that he just went with because they told him to act like that? (he's still a dumb himbo regardless but i think there's a lot more to him that, even as far as we are in the newest episodes, we don't even know the start of. theres a LOT i think he's hiding, purposefully or not, for what reason idk, but im so interested to learn more))
1:09:30 ???: "if you fail, you never go home." troy: "why wouldn't i go home?" ???: "because i'm your ticket." troy: "no HE'S my ticket, are you stupid??" (okay maybe i was wrong lmfao i sometimes forget he's just that stupid)
wonderlust favorite moments/interactions/scenes/etc + notes from multiple rewatches
this is a collection of all my favorite moments, scenes, interactions, and so on (as well as interesting observations that ive noticed through my multiple rewatches) from wonderlust. this is mostly for myself lmao
NOTE: so far, i only got thru ep 1 because. im tired and its almost 4 am lmao. i do wanna get thru all the eps for this tho so :3
style conventions(so i rember qwq): things are listed chronologically, by episode, with timestamps (h:mm:ss). i also (vaguely) color coded dialogue, just the PCs w/ their colors (troy in red, runt in purple, blink in green). if there is dialogue between the lines im highlighting, there will be "/.../" followed by the next line im including. finally, additional notes/thoughts/etc from me will be in small text, italicized parenthases (like this)
this will be updated as i rewatch episodes or watch new episodes :]
WARNING: beyond this point, there WILL be spoilers. proceed at your own risk!
ps: if there is anything that isnt here that you think is worthy, feel free to add on! also, there are very likely typos and/or formatting errors so. oopsie :3 (did try my best to make sure there werent)
pps: many of these will likely involve troy because im so brainrot for this guy but i do really love them all and their dynamics :3
episode 1: one man's trash
0:06:14 troy: "well then- the the fuckin uh, i gue- i guess they'll- i guess they'll fuckin- i guess when they- i guess-"
0:07:42 baby's first troy math
0:11:50 the incident
0:17:30 troy: "my names troy and i'm never gonna die!" (this note was taken when ep 23 was the latest--so far its true, but i suppose we'll see if it continues to do so)
0:37:30 this whole interaction with runt and her cousins is just adorable and i lobv it
0:45:43 ♪♫ you gotta be careful, little runt ♫♪
0:46:40 runt: "you're goddamn right uncle threestrings, why don't they give you a record deal?" uncle threestrings: "....... hohh.." (also charlie's face during this reacting to the song lmfao)
0:47:22 uncle threestrings: "if you don't come back-" runt: "ah-" uncle threestrings: "-if you don't-" runt: "i will come back." uncle threestrings: "i just need to know somethin... how many cups do ya think they got up there?"
0:58:06 pinch: "doppler we need to break this thing or somethin-" runt: "no, don't- don't break it :[" /.../ runt: "i wanna keep it!"
1:14:24 runt: "they got this big fuckin circle in the sky too, what the fuck is that?" uncle threestrings: ".. circle? who made that?" runt: "i don't know!" uncle threestrings: "how'd they put it there?"
1:28:08 cut: "she want another one?" blink: "gran- yeah, granny granite wants a slice of cake, she took my package. you know how it is, this happens every time!" cut: "i'm gonna run out, i'm gonna run out, she's just gonna eat it all-" blink: "how! how are you gonna run out?! what do you mean-" cut: "she's just gonna eat it all!" blink: "but she's so old and slow!" (i love blink's outbursts lmfao)
1:33:05 immediate simping for aeon as her design is revealed ("id let her beat me up" lmfao)
1:37:07 (realizing i didn't put together before how he somehow got his steamsled back, obv upon rewatch i know it's because of his capture but just interesting to think about how that slipped by me the first time and catching it in subsequent watches)
1:37:51 baby's first "YOU DUDE" blink: (starts running) troy: "don't play hard to get with me dude, i'll fucking catch you, i'll fucking catch you no matter how fuckin long you run i will keep running, i'm an endurance animal of a human being" (sprinting) "you can flee now- i can track you, dude"
1:39:45 (cont. from scene above, somewhat) troy: "dude, there's no need to be such a fucking freak-" blink: "what the fuck-" troy: "-i'm just trying to talk to you-" blink: "-what the fuck are you-" troy: "-i just wanted to say... i just wanted to tell you that i'm fuckin cool, and you have gotta run with me, dude, if you wanna make it down here."
1:40:31 troy believes he's at furcon, blink calls him fantasy slurs (also he "loves birds" wauw)
1:42:17 here troy says that blink's his only ticket out, and when blink asks why him troy says he's not supposed to tell him :0
1:43:06 troy: "oh, yeah, i do have a combrussion"
1:47:00 bizly: (rolls a two against troy & blink's stealth) "dude, a two, a TWO, you're fine! you're fine." charlie (in troys voice): "yah, dude i fuckin know,"
1:49:06 the making of yort (& knilb)
1:50:12 blink: "let's-let's tackle this one thing at a time, okay?" troy yort: "alright, dude, i'm fuckin, i'm yort"
1:51:45 troy yort: "have you ever heard the saying, one guy's trash is another dude's.. fuckin,,.. coo- like- fuckin shit."
1:52:22 blink: "i don't wanna- i'm gonna be frank, the more you talk, the more i don't want to help you." troy yort: "dude, who the FUCK is frank, dude? why do you wanna be him? we already got you a cool name??"
1:54:09 troy yort: "cogs? we literally, like, live, breathe, and eat cogs up there, man. i mean, we also use it as money, but you know what i mean. we DONT eat, breathe, or live it, we just use it as money."
1:54:40 cloudspire hoohah rise up
1:54:46 blink: "what are you saying??" troy yort: "dude, you are just ridiculous, man, i-i don't even know where to start. i mean like, so basically, i'm like the shit."
1:55:12 just a straight roll like man and woman missionary fuckin dude fucking a woman straight roll troy yort: "honestly sometimes i think about guys"
1:57:20 (i just love how, even tho troy JUST met blink, he's already so willing to back him up. he doesn't quite understand when he DOES need to stand down but i think it does show he's never been a fully awful person.)
1:57:57 blink: "well we got some, uh, some tetanus shots in here. a few of them have been poked by granny- granny granite, so be careful about that, she's very pokey." arch: "wouldn't want anyone to catch whatever she's got, hahaha!" troy yort: "i'm not sayin anything" baby's first i'm not sayin anything (this whole interaction is so fuckin funny to me)
2:00:42 troy yort: "i don't understand why this is happening?!" blink: "i already told you!!" troy yort: "i didn't say anything!" blink: "you kept saying you weren't saying anything!!!" troy yort: "i thought that's what you wanted!! you need to be CLEAR!!"
2:02:36 bizly: "a blunt arrow comes whizzing by your head." charlie (as troy yort): "fuckin what i just smoke it" once again charlie is possessed by troy
2:06:28 the bit with the old woman and her dead husband's pan and her second husband
2:09:18 graphite's rock and the painting (troy yort keeping the rock after too is so real, i love rocks :3)
2:11:36 troy: "hey graphite, dude, can i level with you?" graphite: ".... suuuuure?" troy: "alright, sick, cuz i think i get some hp from that. maybe some other little goodies." graphite: "you just say things, don't you?" troy: "troy"
omgomg is this anything
wonderlust animatic to pink floyds "time" about troy lougferd
i can see it in my head omg im just not talented UGH
it started with the clocks at the start then i kept listening and i was like wauw.. this is so troy angst
i am so sorry but who put troy's relationship in blink's fandom wiki page as "desperate companion" LMFAO
also runt in as "stubborn companion"
ACTUAL BRAINWORMS AHEAD ABOUT TROY
i like actually have SO many thoughts about troy yall dont understand. i have so much to say that i dont remember ANY OF IT TO PUT HERE.
its also been to the point that like. its all i think about. its so bad rn too bc i ran outta both my antidepressants and adhd meds (fuck pharmacies theyre all a pain in the ass omg) and so my brain is this mushy slurry of just. troy troy troy wonderlust runt troy troy blink troy. i literally could not focus at work today i had to write in my journal so that i didn't implode.
anyways after this point there are spoilers so dont read on. i woulda tagged it but this post is gonna be so rambly and full of my brainworms that i dont know if i wanna tag this at all lmao. so anyways yeah brainrot brainworms warning if you read ahead,
so yeah i have some like ideas on what troys whole deal is (besides being our [recovering :3] asshole nepo baby).
like first of all, 100% trans coded (like all of charlies characters, like wtf how is this cis guy better at being trans than i am??). please let it be canon i am begging
second, im torn between the theories of him being a little clockwork guy or being a hybrid (like runt and blink n the reclaim guys). its hard to tell what's cannon and what is troy mode comedy shit, but it seems like we may not have ever canonically? gotten a description/confirmation of what is actually under troys suit, and obviously not what may be under his skin. if he is a hybrid that could have some really fucked up connotations asw
third, whats his deal with his family? it's basically been confirmed that his mom's dead (or otherwise just OUT of the picture). his dad is around, for a bit i was SO convinced his dad was gonna be the inventor. either way, whats the deal between them? just nepo neglect? or something worse? i have a feeling either way i WILL be ugly crying. again. to jrwi. about a charlie character. and also siblings?? he said he had a brother. but then when the yort appeared he said he always wanted a brother? so maybe bad relationship there too?
also??? like his character growth?? the amount he has started to be able to convey his respect and care for the team. i love the little part about runt having an actual feeling of looking up to him when they sled down the mountain. they are so sibling coded. troy and blink's little arc was so good too (also like. malewife troy. all im saying about that). and his whole thing in ep 22, the way he was able to twist the perceptions people have of him, and even the fucked up shit he has done, to manipulate (gaslight gatekeep girlboss) his way through that situation. and the team letting him take the reigns!!!!! anyways this makes me wanna compile a list of my fave quotes/interactions/moments/etc from the campaign. i just might.
i genuinely dont know why im SO attached to this goddamn character. theoretically? i should hate him. he is like, literally antithetical to everything i am and stand for. literally a foil to who i am as a person. but like???? idk. as ive said before he's the first character ive ever understood and felt the "i can fix them" thing about lmao. and he has shown character growth,
and to me he seems. misguided? maybe even hurt? by those around him. it seems like those who should have nurtured him failed him. and like. i really empathize that. i kinda feel that a little too much (but from a different lens bc i am the furthest thing from a nepo baby lmfao). and not to psychoanalyze him (more), it seems to me that maybe deep down he thinks very lowly of himself. bro is literally prince charming but was surprised when aeon called him pretty boy?? like i mean obv, he's not the brightest guy around, but i also think he should give himself more credit where its due, and he might not appreciate his achievements enough and seems to beat himself down when he doesnt reach his own standards. he also seems very touch starved (or just. any [authentic] slightly positive interaction starved in general)
or maybe im just projecting too hard onto him oops lmao. thats the vibe i get tho
if you read all this i think youre probably just as ill as i am about this guy and like. respect. or maybe youre just bored or thought there would be something smart in here, in which case i deeply apologize for my word vomit
anyways i think im gonna go rewatch wonderlust from the start for like the fifth time. or riptide for the like 12th (god give us our funy lil pirates back!!!) because. i lobv them
OH ALSO who else is ready to have their soul absolutely crushed and ripped and thrown on the floor next ep. cuz like. i know charlies cooking up some angst for troy. i have ugly sobbed about literally like all of his characters and i just know troy's gonna be the same.
im not ready.
i havent been on here in forever but came back JUST to eat up troy lougferd fanart because. i stg something is wrong with me, he has permanently altered my brain. im so ill for this man ((charlie please spare me stop making characters i have to be so. attached to)). this is the only character i have felt "i can fix them" for.
aanyways ig have my shitty troy doodle i made at 2 am lmao
my insane interconnected multiverse theory
this is (mostly) a joke, but also I worked really hard on this
The magic system & pantheons in Judgement and Apotheosis are identical down to the 'cycle of aether' reincarnation system appearing in BOTH, to the point that the players themselves are theorising that it's the same universe. BUT judgement HAS to happen first, because there are still gods and ppl are still aware that usurping the gods is a thing that can be done (Zuen confesses to erasing that from the collective consciousness).
In Apotheosis, Ludite is a magical crystal-like material that rained down from the sky when the celestial realm was destroyed. It allowed mortals, for the first time in history, to wield magic without having to be 'chosen' by the gods. What's also a magic rock? Wonderous Coal.
The very top of the mountain of wonder is directly connected to Prime, as well as many other realms that seem to be converging. Alystr Cross also lives in Wonder (while I'm inclined to believe this is a different version of him, he does reference prime and heroism in a way that to me is meant to imply this is the same Professor Cross from PD). Another character from Convergence that appears in a different campaign is Kasper (referred to as Mr Kass). He travels the multiverse with this pocket-dimension that the carnival is.
We also know that Riptide is connected to Wonderlust - a pirate world does make a brief appearance - and is thus also connected to Prime Defenders. But as further support, I'd refer to the two non-canon what-if crossovers.
Another character from a different campaign also makes an appearance in Riptide; Green is clearly meant to be an older Taxi (Green Needle is was his tabaxi name in fated). Wild theory, but hear me out: the world of Mana in Riptide is the same Mana from Fated, in a timeline where Ungarou won and flooded the world (or at least was defeated after large parts of the land were already lost beneath the tides).
Now that is SEVEN campaigns that I can red-string together through explicit cross-over happening.
I could also connect PD to The Suckening through the taxi driver that Arthur meets who Charlie gives a similar voice to William Wisp, and say that he was that universe's version of him. From there I could say that BITB and TS could feasibly exist in the same universe, on the merit that they are other-wise 'our world' settings, and BITB's story is self-contained to Galloway. There's nothing saying that they couldn't take place in the same universe.
But keep moving;
your eyes might be tired,
your feet sore,
your bones hurting,
but dear,
your eyes are as bright as
the melting sun.
Oh to live in a little cottage on top of a mountain beside the sea
