Tyrant of the Dark Star S1 Round Table

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Hello everybody, and welcome back to Goblins and Gaze. This is the tyrant of the Dark Star. Season one. Talk back. Season one certainly was eventful. Starting with all of our character prologues where we met everyone, then everyone got thrown in jail, escaped jail, and then spent a bit of time in the quarantine section of the city and fought a mad scientists. Other things happened along the way. You know, something, something, world ending in seven months. Something, something. But yeah, we are going to spend a lot of time answering the questions. If this is the first time listening to anything like this, we usually do a just a Google form right around the time the season is ending for a few weeks to let people submit questions and do you usually will always be available in our discord or on our any of our social media. So we're going to start with the first question from Rue or Rue Drogon. Yes. [00:01:10] Speaker B: Doragon. [00:01:11] Speaker A: Doragon. Doragon, Yes. I just know them as Rue. And the first question is, does Gravewing blink or does she have those unblinking snake eyes? If so, is that why she keeps her bangs covering her eyes all the time? [00:01:25] Speaker C: Bravewing canonically doesn't blink, but has functional eyelids, and so she has to be reminded to blink, to which it's very slow. Sometimes it'll be like one eye that blinks and then the other. Gravewing has functional eyelids, but just doesn't need to actually blink. Is that the reason why she keeps her bangs? Well, her bangs cover her eyes for a reason. And that's it. And that's. That's all you get. [00:02:06] Speaker A: Maybe you'll learn more in season two. [00:02:09] Speaker C: You imagine that she, like sleeps with her eyes open, and then Leif has to be like, oh, no. [00:02:15] Speaker A: Just like lays in bad eyes wide open. [00:02:18] Speaker D: I doubt that'd be the most disturbing thing to Leif, honestly. [00:02:21] Speaker C: Well, you gotta imagine Leif is sleeping, turns over, and Gravewing happens to be faced over, and then boom, it's awake, but actually not. [00:02:32] Speaker B: It's like I've been discovering Gandalf. [00:02:35] Speaker C: It's terrifying. Eye drops I don't think have been invented yet, y'all. [00:02:41] Speaker D: I don't know if that's true. [00:02:42] Speaker E: Leith tells Gravewing a bunch of secrets, but assumes Gravewing is awake because her eyes are open. [00:02:55] Speaker B: Yes. Time for miscommunication with Gravewing. [00:02:59] Speaker C: It's the way that miscommunication would be solved so fast, though, like, just. You didn't tell me that. When did you tell me that? Well, oh, while we were in bed. I was probably asleep. I don't blink. Like it's it's the way. It's the way that this would get. It would get solved so fast. Unlike Yalls, which took you like six years in game or something. I don't know. I don't know what the timeline is yet. [00:03:20] Speaker F: Actually, Aki, I have a tick question which means, you know, it's going to be very specific about the question and elaborate on it. So you said moth mom can blink but doesn't. [00:03:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:03:31] Speaker F: Does she have brill covering her eyes, which is like the scale casing that goes over the eyelids, or does she have a set of secondary eyelids, like a crocodile that blinks but is still transparent because eyes do need moisture or like eyelids, unless it's something blocked. So does she have a second set of transparent ones? Does she have the scales blocking it? Like, how does it work on an anatomical level? [00:03:50] Speaker C: This is hilarious. It's a. I thought about this too. Second pair of eyelids. [00:03:54] Speaker F: Okay, so like the second set of transparent ones will blink, but not the main set. [00:03:58] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:03:59] Speaker F: Okay. [00:04:00] Speaker C: Which is why she doesn't. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. It's why she doesn't blink. She blinks, but she doesn't blink. But she does have that working pair. So she could close it, you know, like, it's. It's there. It's just. She forgets. [00:04:15] Speaker F: Yeah. So it's like a crocodile, not a snake. [00:04:19] Speaker C: Little. Little bit of that anatomy. Yeah. Yeah. But still the. It's still like. It's still snake features. [00:04:26] Speaker F: Yeah. No, I'm like. Because a lot of fantasy animals will, like, fantasy species will tend to take traits from others because snakes don't have eyelids because they have. Like, when you see a snake shed the. The, like the eye skin is there. They have scales over their eyes. And that's not something you can really add on something with human flesh on it. So it's like. It makes sense. It's another reptilian creature that you can take from more accurately. Yeah, I'm normal. I'm normal. When it comes to animals. [00:04:50] Speaker C: Nah, man. We talk about. We have so much. I'm surprised. That's the only snake question. I can't wait for later. If ever comes up, I have a ridiculous amount of answers and Tic knows that. Yeah. [00:05:01] Speaker A: I mean, the snake thing really came out late in the game. [00:05:05] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:05:07] Speaker D: Late in the game. Season one. [00:05:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:05:09] Speaker B: There was. The last two episodes had a lot of reveals. The last three episodes had a lot of reveals. [00:05:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:18] Speaker D: We should jump around for these questions since we have a lot from each one. I think the next one in line is Some question asker called Natalissa. [00:05:30] Speaker A: Yeah, don't know who that is. [00:05:33] Speaker D: Yeah. Not Alyssa asked. What is Lou's dream date asking for a friend. [00:05:39] Speaker B: I think the friend would have to ask Lou. [00:05:46] Speaker D: Are you not on the front? [00:05:48] Speaker E: Give me a second. But what if the friend historically is bad at talking to Lou and bad things happen when they try. [00:06:03] Speaker B: I can't imagine who you're thinking of. I don't know on the proper one before. So anyone would be a dream date. Maybe like one of those funky natural history museums that have a lot of bugs in them bones. [00:06:26] Speaker E: Does Knoxlite have haunted walking tours or is just sort of the whole city a haunted walking tour? [00:06:33] Speaker A: I think they just have walking tours. [00:06:35] Speaker D: That's just Coffin Walk. [00:06:38] Speaker B: They're just walking tours and they're happen to already be haunted. [00:06:41] Speaker D: Coffin Run. Coffin Stroll. One of those. I don't remember. [00:06:46] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean it's just. There's no such thing as an unhaunted house. [00:06:51] Speaker B: That's so true. [00:06:53] Speaker C: Or dropped not lore drop on fucking like every. Every house I personally believe is is is haunted. Especially like in North America and in Asia. North America. It's all stolen land. It's a certain level of haunted that it'll never be. Unhunted, unhaunted. [00:07:17] Speaker F: Do you think the ghosts are single and ready to mingle? [00:07:20] Speaker A: Probably not for you. Take the next question. [00:07:22] Speaker F: That's fair. [00:07:24] Speaker B: Are we popcorning these? [00:07:26] Speaker C: Yeah, we're popcorning these. That's why I made them easier to read. [00:07:30] Speaker E: Okay. Ultimate Colombo Respector asks was the district under quarantine so the party wouldn't just. Nope. Out of an undead infested city again. [00:07:38] Speaker F: Aubry, shut up. [00:07:40] Speaker C: Yes and no. [00:07:42] Speaker A: I like I had the. It definitely the under quarantine helps that you don't just being like oh no, fuck this shit. We're out. The infamous rewrite Mid season one of BoQ. But it most definitely was. It was even part of the original story when I started making this because I wanted essentially a controlled area for the first season to just sort of give time for the characters and give time for the characters and you know all the world building and everything. So it's not just like everything all at once. And then once season two rolls around that's when like the city opens up and there's a lot more to do and it's a lot more going be a lot more player focused rather than season one was very story focused. [00:08:41] Speaker B: Okay, I'll deal on because we've talked about this before. So I think it'll be fun to Say it for other people from Nebula. Do you think your Tod's characters would get along with your Bach characters? Why or why not? Yes, but in different reasons. At least as far as Dumisa and Lou go. Yeah, they'd get along, but they would have a very different view of their relationship with each other. [00:09:04] Speaker E: Tell us about Dumisa for people who have only listened to Noxlight. [00:09:08] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. Are there people who've only listened to Noxlite? That's really fun. [00:09:11] Speaker A: Actually, probably are. [00:09:12] Speaker B: Dumisa is my character from Bach. She's a barbarian lesbian woman who's very large and buff and strong and hits people with swords and kills them a lot. Anything else? I guess you have to watch Bach. Or listen to it anyway. But she. She would. She would find Lou entertaining but confusing. And Lou would think of her as her new best friend. But in fairness, Lou thinks of everyone that way. So. [00:09:47] Speaker F: Listen, Dumis is the type to see a cute bard and immediately fall head over heels. Okay, like, shut up. [00:09:52] Speaker B: She's busy. She's busy being spoilers for being super engaged. Double engaged. [00:10:00] Speaker C: I was gonna say she had. She has two partners. Exactly. She already has. The cute, pink fun bard has been claimed. If Jubisa's gonna get another partner, it can't be a duplicate. [00:10:14] Speaker B: We need variety in this polycule. [00:10:15] Speaker F: We got the dupes clause in box. [00:10:17] Speaker B: Yes. No duplicates, only originals. [00:10:23] Speaker E: Oh, so like someone with. Huh? No, wait. This is the opposite of what I was going in. I was going to say white hair and top surgery seems right off the top. [00:10:33] Speaker B: No, we got one of those, too. We already got one. That spot is also taken. [00:10:42] Speaker C: Yeah, see, look. No loo, no lei. We throw a marrow there. No marrow. [00:10:46] Speaker B: Get out of there. [00:10:50] Speaker D: I think Joanna, which is my monster. Monster hunter character from Redacted. Even though you find out about that the second episode, you see Joanna as not even a main character. Yeah, you have to listen to Bach. But I think Joanna and Yuri, though, would. I don't think they'd get along. Joanna would obviously, like, See, like. Oh, you're the. Like, you could be my kid for Eurodo. But they're both monster hunters in different aspects. There would probably be, like, I think, respect, but not get along. I think. [00:11:34] Speaker B: Are you saying Joanna wouldn't like someone who could potentially be her child? I don't know why you would phrase. [00:11:43] Speaker D: Something just like that. [00:11:44] Speaker B: Wow. [00:11:45] Speaker E: Would she not like them enough to shut. Shoot them? [00:11:47] Speaker B: Would she abandon their ghost? [00:11:52] Speaker D: Don't. Don't worry about what Alyssa said on my mic. No, there's a. There's a difference between like seeing someone that could be. That could be her child's age and someone that could be her child. I think if anything, Joanna would probably get along the most with moth mom. [00:12:09] Speaker F: Yeah, same vibe. [00:12:11] Speaker D: Yeah. Yeah. [00:12:15] Speaker C: Speaking of, I. So I don't think moth mom would necessarily like. Moth mom would not dislike Estrella. It's just Moth mom would not go out of her way to befriend Australia because there she was looking at Australia and be like, that is a child. Even though actually age wise, like there's a gap. But it's not crazy. Not as crazy as you'd think. She probably wouldn't be like, that's a child. I don't want to talk to children. This is weird, you know, like just. Just kind of that vibe. I do think Australia would find moth mom very, very cool though. Moth mom has a very long career as a vigilante. Like that's just dope. That shit's dope. How's she not? How do you avoid the cops? Tell me. You know, it'd be like that kind of vibe. However, season four spoilers. I think Astraea would be genuinely mistaken by everybody in the Todds party for a certain someone. [00:13:27] Speaker B: Did you say who Asrea was? [00:13:29] Speaker C: Astraea is a half elven bard. She's super pink. She's super pretty. She is the reason why season one got rewritten halfway because I spearheaded the let's run away part. And every. And then I gave you guys like two very good reasons. One, this is the government's fault and two, we're level three. No. [00:13:58] Speaker D: It'S still. [00:14:01] Speaker C: So it worked. That's. That's it. I think that's it. That. That is the non spoilers of Australia. That makes sense. Yeah. Then. And then season four Australia, I think everybody in Todd's would mistake. Would. Would mistake her for something else. Someone else, I should say. [00:14:23] Speaker F: Can you type in the chat? Because you're putting down plenty of hints and they're going over my head like bas. [00:14:28] Speaker C: Yeah, I'll put it in chat. So that way we know. [00:14:30] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:14:32] Speaker C: Yeah, There you go. Okay. [00:14:33] Speaker F: Thank you, Alyssa. [00:14:34] Speaker C: Yeah, it's a very. It's a very on the nose. It's very, very on the nose. So if you, if you know, you know. And if you don't ask me about it in our discord, go join our discord just to ask me this question and I'll answer. You wouldn't be wrong with that answer, by the way. And I'll just type why? But Somebody else go. [00:14:56] Speaker F: Yeah, I just forgot the other option. Sorry, Sparlick, you can go. [00:15:00] Speaker G: No worries. I heard my name and I was trying to find a place to sneak in. So. Groon and Alistair is an interesting combination. I think Alistair would be really interested to find out about Groon's magic and then realize she's an idiot. [00:15:23] Speaker C: Aw. [00:15:25] Speaker D: I think Groon and Alistair is possibly the most chaotic, positive combination of characters. [00:15:33] Speaker G: Oh, they'd be like, on the one hand, they'd be great to each other. On the other hand, there's very different levels of intelligence, so I don't know how that mix would go. [00:15:47] Speaker B: With all love and respect to both characters, because I love them both dearly. Pinky and the Brain. [00:15:55] Speaker G: Oh, my God, yes. Okay, I can see that. And yeah, there's a lot of, like, very awesome people with, like, mismatched relationships and friendships like that. So I don't know how it would go. I'm just imagining that first, like, oh, you have. You have like this type of magic and that type of magic and you do magic like this. And what's this about, like, various conspiracies in the world, like, from the insider's perspective, like, but then the realization dawning that, oh, you okay. But they won't be, like, antagonistic. I just don't know if they would be like, best buds. But they definitely share a chaotic energy that comes from me not being able to separate my own energy from my characters. [00:16:59] Speaker B: Would Alastair. My opinion is that Alastair would love the season two plot twist of Bach about the deities. Is that correct? Would Alastor just love that whole concept? [00:17:13] Speaker G: Oh, yes. Like, so much. That actually goes into one of the later questions that I was looking at. So I won't say too much about that. For this one. [00:17:29] Speaker B: You can ask it. Oh, wait, we haven't gone through everybody yet. [00:17:34] Speaker C: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. [00:17:35] Speaker B: Sorry. [00:17:35] Speaker C: Wait, wait, wait. [00:17:36] Speaker A: I got excited. [00:17:37] Speaker F: We have rights. Come on, we're out of here. [00:17:40] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. [00:17:42] Speaker E: I will posit that a sleeper Chaos to go would be Lathan Tamson. Tamson was my wizard in Bach. Very knowledge hungry, we will say. Enjoyed secrets muchly. Had a rogue archetype, so, you know, she and Leith have that in common. And I think that they would enjoy each other a lot. Obviously Laith would have a bit of an issue because 1 Tamsin is secretive and 2 Tamsin is a mother figure. So that would be rough. But once they got past that, I think it would be good. I think that Tamson would like Laith a lot, actually, would be kind of exasperated, but would enjoy her. [00:18:37] Speaker D: How would Tamson and Laith discuss relationships? [00:18:44] Speaker C: I mean. [00:18:47] Speaker E: You could argue, if you so desired, that Tamson and Amitis might have had a similar. No, you couldn't argue it. I tried. I started. I tried. But you couldn't. You know, they could talk about yearning together. [00:19:17] Speaker F: I just imagine that me. And more later, like, gee, Tamsen, why do you get two wives? [00:19:27] Speaker D: Spoilers on who? [00:19:30] Speaker F: I will not be elaborating on that statement. [00:19:31] Speaker D: Yeah, that's. That's all we got to say. All right, Tick. [00:19:36] Speaker F: All right, I have to unspoil this. So context of my Blood of Kings character. Mira was a wonderful monk with a rogue archetype who went out to explore the world from the underworld, whose dad is the God of death and mom is the registered first MILF of this entire game. First, not only. And as the game kind of goes on, they start to kind of learn things about the world and become more wisened outside of the like. Initially, just very, very cheery. Oh, my God, is that a tree? I haven't seen one of those before. And also really loves collecting bones. And I think, personally, Nyla and Mero interacting is how Mero gets an actual autism diagnosis. Because when you put two autistic people in the same room, they immediately become best friends, no matter what the circumstances are. Like, they both be weirded out by each other. Don't get me wrong. Marrow collects bones. Niall says cannibal, you know, but when you. When you take the autism and you combine it, they immediately start to vibe without hesitation. Aki, you know this. I immediately started vibing with your sister about welcome to demon school Iroquois. It doesn't stop instant friendship. So, like, I guess that's how Meryl gets the fucking autism diagnosis, because Niall called vote on it. Like, oh, my God. So that's what it is. And that's how autism gets brung into the Blood of Kings universe. [00:20:57] Speaker D: That's very funny. That's a. I think that would also be. I think, mechanically, all of our characters together is deeply terrifying. [00:21:07] Speaker A: Next question. Who wants to read the question? [00:21:12] Speaker D: Sparlic, if you want to go for the one you're pointing about. [00:21:14] Speaker G: Yeah. Is there a particular order to the questions? [00:21:18] Speaker B: No, not really. [00:21:18] Speaker D: We're just kind of jumping around. [00:21:20] Speaker G: Okay, so there's this one question. There's a brief discussion in the Discord. Maybe want to plug the Discord. Great play about getting our character. Our BOK characters isekai'd into the new campaign. But what about the other way. If your campaign 2. Are we officially calling it in this? The. [00:21:55] Speaker D: Yeah, that or Todds is how we get. Okay. [00:21:59] Speaker B: It's just we've also called it Noxlight. We've called it Noxlight, Tyrant of the Dark Shard and Todds. [00:22:04] Speaker D: Yeah, I'll accept that. [00:22:06] Speaker G: All right, so if your Nox Light character has been isekai into campaign one, what happens? [00:22:14] Speaker F: I'm sorry. I'm gonna cut in because this is the exact thing I had an answer for. I think if we all got Isekai together, it would start out as a horror campaign as the star mother begins to hunt us down. Not out of, like, brutalness or evil, but because we're all cursed. And every time the word curse is mentioned around Estrella, she fucking materializes from around the corner ready to fix it. So I'm convinced she's hunting them down. [00:22:39] Speaker C: Y'all don't understand. Y'all don't understand. They added more things to make a cur her so much more easier. So about to boomer Australia here, okay? Back in her day, she was doing it real hard. Now it's very easy. Y'all are cursed. Half of you are cursed. Gigi Done. You're not Half a season. [00:23:07] Speaker D: I. I do season. I think. What will we say that our Todd's characters get isekai into season four? Bach or season one? Bach. Season one also completely changes everything. [00:23:25] Speaker B: If it's season one, we go to Obara and the Todds crew takes care of it. Yeah, because we're not afraid of ghosts or zombies. [00:23:35] Speaker D: We ain't afraid of no ghost. [00:23:37] Speaker F: This is why we're taking care of Dawan. We got moth off on our side. [00:23:40] Speaker C: We're ready. [00:23:41] Speaker F: We're like, I don't care that we're level one. We're dealing with this bitch. [00:23:44] Speaker B: Oh, the Bach crew goes to show up at Vara later, and it's just done, it's handled, and we're just chilling. They're like, can we go home now? [00:23:54] Speaker C: No. [00:23:54] Speaker B: There's sunshine and it's weird. Can we go home? [00:23:57] Speaker F: Hear me out. Sorry. Hear me out. Aki. Not Aki. Aubrey, you had, like, a secondary plan for the campaign where it was supposed to be, like, kind of chasing after dragons and dragon cults. The Blood of Kings gang would have do that plot as originally planned. And the tyrant of the Dark Star gang would do the plot that we actually did with the whole revolution against the gods, because we're already starting a revolution. What's another revolution? [00:24:19] Speaker A: What's two revolutions Exactly. [00:24:22] Speaker F: We're really starting revolutions, you know, I. I think. [00:24:27] Speaker D: Yeah, I think the Tod's crew just kind of taking care of a bar would be very funny. I think also it would just be. If it was season one, my brain just stopped. Season one, Bach. I. Where would our characters go? Like, I think yur, though, would seek out the only, like, the biggest gun makers in Cyrene, which would be a time. Yeah, I guess, like, learn about Amitas first and, like, suddenly their. Their kid shows. I was like, oh, your mom owns this school. She paid my tuition. I just showed up and it kind of worked out. [00:25:11] Speaker B: I think the funniest thing that could happen with, like, noxlike getting isekai into Bach is if the nox, like, got isekai directly into Obara at its most haunted from the ghoul town. So we go from ghoul town straight into more ghoul town. And we don't know we got isekai'd. [00:25:32] Speaker A: Until we get out. [00:25:34] Speaker B: Cause it's dark, it's underground, there's no sunlight. And we walk out and there's a sun. We're like, oh, we solved the tyrant problem, gg. [00:25:44] Speaker C: And then we wouldn't know until we got to the nearest town either, because there was, like, thick woods. [00:25:51] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. [00:25:54] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. And Lila wouldn't be in the cottage to tell us anything either. We would. We would be lost. We would. We would be. We would be very, very lost. Thick woods. We're gonna think we're on the wrong side of town. Like, it's. It's hilarious, though. I do think. I do think as soon as Obara bullshit is done, it would be for Moth mom. It would be nothing but go home because, like, the rest of y'all have shitty families. I guess I don't. So I. That would be. That would be my entire mission. Go home. [00:26:27] Speaker B: No, same for sure. [00:26:28] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:28] Speaker G: Yeah. [00:26:29] Speaker A: Which would take you to Kyria because. [00:26:32] Speaker C: She would send you home. Exactly, Exactly. And the thing is, so like, Joanna. Joanna had very good reasons to not immediately go home. Okay? A lot of us had very. A lot. Very, very, very good. And I'm pointing at Joanna specifically because. Because it would be. I think, Joe, I think Joanna's case for wanting to go home is very similar to Moth mom's case. However, Gravewing wouldn't be buying any of this God bullshit. In fact, Gravewing would, in fact beat the shit out of the nearest fucking God to prove a point. And they'd be like, so send me home or the pain never stops. I won't kill you. You'll get better and then it'll get worse because I'll just find you instead. It would. It would be 100. It would. This would go to a different type of genre where the God, where the gods are, like, helping. [00:27:32] Speaker G: Suddenly John Wick, just Alastor would have a field day with all the conspiracy theories about the gods in the early seasons. Like, he would be on the street corner like, the gods are stealing our souls. [00:27:52] Speaker F: I just realized something that you guys brought up because you're getting into. Niall would have a fucking field day with a much more accessible food options because. [00:27:59] Speaker A: Oh, no. [00:28:01] Speaker C: Niall be. [00:28:01] Speaker F: So Niall's gonna be cooking everything. [00:28:07] Speaker B: Oh, that food. I thought you meant, like, eating people. Like, there's more people to eat. [00:28:13] Speaker C: That's also. No, you gotta understand, it's also accessible. We ran. We ran into a lot of questionable people that we wouldn't miss. Also, there's something hardcore about Niall eating a God. [00:28:26] Speaker F: Yeah, I'm just. Yeah, I'm looking at it. I see you. [00:28:29] Speaker G: Would a God be more filling than immortal? Like, after they've lost their God power and assuming their body stayed intact because they didn't always turn into, like, dust. [00:28:43] Speaker D: Or, like, gold motes, I think a lot of them did because they were gods for so long, they just withered. Yeah. So now I would have to eat them alive. [00:28:54] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:28:55] Speaker C: I mean, I can do that. [00:28:56] Speaker F: I mean, they can do that. [00:28:59] Speaker B: In a fight. [00:29:00] Speaker F: That's not a problem at all. [00:29:02] Speaker A: A fight. Right. [00:29:02] Speaker B: In a fight. [00:29:07] Speaker C: I think we all answered. [00:29:08] Speaker F: Right. Got her. [00:29:09] Speaker C: All right, I will say. [00:29:12] Speaker E: I did not answer. I will say really quick. Lathe and heron could be really bitchy gay best friends. [00:29:20] Speaker C: In the end. Let's be realistic. Let's be so fucking realistic. [00:29:25] Speaker F: Oh, my God. [00:29:26] Speaker C: I see it so, so, so well. Y'all would be each other's rebound, and then. And then you would be each other's endgame by accident. You are the. Oh, dear, oh, dear. I don't think life would say no if harem was like you. [00:29:45] Speaker A: Do you want to be other ruler? You would be queen. [00:29:51] Speaker B: If we get so desperate for a. [00:29:53] Speaker D: Queen, if we get box season one first and me and Bara, I think the captain may get stolen by someone before they meet Australia. [00:30:05] Speaker C: There's a. No, there's. There's a very good chance because Australia wasn't having the captain either. Australia wasn't having either. The. The captain had to chase for her after. She called them boring. She said. She said the. The ship was haunted and that's why she didn't want to touch it. [00:30:24] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:30:26] Speaker C: She told him to paint a picture of her because it would last longer. When you think about it, she was like, not having it. [00:30:38] Speaker D: I'm just saying Yuri and the captain would be S tier. [00:30:44] Speaker B: No, you're right. You're so right. [00:30:46] Speaker C: I don't think you guys will last it, though. I think the captain would have been x33 or something like that. [00:30:52] Speaker B: The cap. If anyone could fix Yuri, it's the captain that's real. [00:30:56] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:30:56] Speaker B: And also astray is because they already fixed Dumisa. [00:31:01] Speaker C: Yeah, but. But with Dumisa, it was within a span of base in game. A year out of game, like three, four seasons like that they had. They. The captain had to start liking the party first. And respect disrespectfully. You're so fucking unlikable. [00:31:20] Speaker D: Yeah, no, you're right. You're right. [00:31:22] Speaker C: Yuri as they are right now is rather unlikable. I think that's why I'm like. I'm like, you guys might be one night stand and then you'll show up again, be like, all right, let's fix you. But it'll be like that. [00:31:34] Speaker D: It'll be on again, off again, off again, off again, on again, off again. [00:31:40] Speaker B: And on again, and then on. [00:31:44] Speaker D: I think you had the question, Naki. [00:31:46] Speaker C: I was going to say we're going to move on because I think everybody answered and we cannot stay on this damn question. [00:31:53] Speaker B: We would love this sort of thing. We talk about it in our channel all the time. [00:31:59] Speaker F: Wait, Aki. I have an assignment for you. Now, I want you to know I want you to assign the tyrant of the Dark Star parties. Who do you think they would like, get best with out of the NPCs of blood of Kings? Like, because we already went and I'm so curious. No, I want essays in the chat. I know we have to move on. [00:32:21] Speaker C: Oh, you want essays in the chat? Okay, yeah, I'll give you essays in the chat. [00:32:23] Speaker F: We gotta move on. But I'm like, I have to. [00:32:26] Speaker D: Yeah, Tick or Alyssa. [00:32:32] Speaker E: I already picked one. [00:32:33] Speaker D: Okay, so Tic, you choose. [00:32:34] Speaker F: Oh, my God. I have to make a life choice. [00:32:37] Speaker E: Also, that last question was from Nebula. Please read out who gave the questions. [00:32:41] Speaker D: Yes, thank you, Nebula. [00:32:45] Speaker F: See, these are all really good. Well, Aki's writing an essay right now, so I'm going to pick this one from Nebula. If you had to Swap playing characters, I.e. sparlock now has to play, Niall Akina has to play Lathe, et cetera, who would your first pick be? Which is a really good one, actually. I like this one. [00:33:05] Speaker G: That's not fair. That they stole like my immediate answer. [00:33:15] Speaker D: That. Okay, Barlock, you playing Nile would be a treat. [00:33:20] Speaker G: Yeah, I. I think on some levels me and Tick have a similar energy. Oh yeah. So. [00:33:32] Speaker F: I am loud autism and you are quiet adhd. [00:33:41] Speaker D: I think playing. I think playing Lou for me would be very fun. I really love thaumaturges. Like, the concept is just so fun for me as I. I think playing just like Midwestern lesbian that loves curses and stuff would be great. [00:34:04] Speaker B: That's really funny because my first pick would have been Yuri because Blood Hunter, Bloodhunter, Gunslinger. [00:34:12] Speaker D: We just switched characters. [00:34:13] Speaker B: We just switched characters. We do a body swap episode now. [00:34:18] Speaker D: Oh, gosh. Wait. [00:34:19] Speaker B: No, I'm kidding. [00:34:24] Speaker E: I think that Yuri would be the most in my wheelhouse, but Lou would be very fun to play a bit outside of it because I also love Thomas and Bards. So. [00:34:41] Speaker B: Moth mom is definitely my second pick though. And the only reason it's not my first pick is because like, up close fighter, very close to. To. [00:34:51] Speaker F: I honestly just can't play responsible woman. So quite frankly, I could not play Moth Mom. [00:34:57] Speaker D: The thing is, my. My very first Pathfinder second edition character was Monk for I, which I played for like a year and a half. And so like I've been trying to. Every time I make a Pathfinder 2nd Edition character, I'm trying to do different classes. [00:35:20] Speaker B: I do also think Alastair would be fun. Yeah, they would all be fun in different ways. [00:35:25] Speaker A: Oh yeah. [00:35:30] Speaker C: I was thinking about that. I was thinking about this one all day, actually. I think, I think Leif. I play Leif because Leif has all the story beats that I want. Like, I would genuinely enjoy it. But build wise, I think I would play Lou because I have never played thaumatorge and Lou is pink, so I'm biased immediately. So there's. There's, There is a vibe there that I like. Okay, Aubrey, you might have to cut this next part out. Is it. We already know that Lou is multiclassing at the Bard by in season one. Do we know that? We do, right? [00:36:13] Speaker D: Yeah, Yeah, I think so. Okay. [00:36:14] Speaker C: Okay. So we don't have to cut this out. It's the fact that you're not like, you know, you haven't had the chance yet. But like, you could be a dramaturge for real, like the mechanic like that. As a thaumaturge Bard, you could just literally be a dramaturge. You're also an occult nerd. So, like, you actually could lean super hard into it and call yourself the Dramaturge and just fucking, like, throw your feathers around and shit. Like, there's a lot. There's a lot. I've been meaning to tell you this. I just keep forgetting. [00:36:45] Speaker B: Think about that. [00:36:45] Speaker C: Because your build is literally that. And, like, you could lean the fuck in. And I think you'd enjoy that because. [00:36:53] Speaker B: It'S a bard, too. [00:36:55] Speaker C: That's amused. That's what I'm saying. You're literally the build is there. Dramaturge. Be a dramaturge. Do it. [00:37:03] Speaker B: I have been before. [00:37:05] Speaker C: Exactly. [00:37:10] Speaker A: Just because I thought it would be funny. It'd be like, if I had to play one of the party, it would either be Lou or Lathe. Both are kind of in the general, like, wheelhouse of character archetypes that I enjoy playing. I like playing sad wet cat in Feral Gremlin. [00:37:28] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tick, Alyssa. [00:37:33] Speaker F: Yeah, I'm gonna go first. Fuck you, Alyssa. Honestly, I would be. I'm like, Laith is my first pick because, again, she is a fucking degenerate. She is a nasty little rat that loves to collect little secrets. She is just a little guy. And honestly, I don't care about her mommy issues. I just want to be a terrible person in the background, you know? Like, I don't need mommy issues to be a shitty little rat. You know, Speaking of rats, Alastor is my second choice because that is quite literally a rat. And also, I could make Alastor so autistic in the best way. I could give him such a niche obsession with cheese, it's not even funny. And quite frankly, I am ready. I am ready to take the little rat and be like, it's time for me to have every brain cell. And it's all focused on one weird thing. [00:38:17] Speaker E: I actually already answered, so I answered before you. So you tech. [00:38:23] Speaker D: Did you answer? I already for. Oh, right. Late, Lou. You're late. You wanted to play Lou. That makes sense. Ari, you choose that. [00:38:36] Speaker A: Yeah, I. [00:38:39] Speaker B: This one's. [00:38:40] Speaker A: This one is, like a fun mechanics question from Rue. How are you guys incorporating the Pathfinder Remastered into the game when not all of the updated classes and archetypes are released when you started recording? Will we see changes in season two or beyond as the remastered classes and archetypes come out? If so, what changes? I think when we started recording, Player Core 1 was out or almost out, I think. [00:39:09] Speaker D: I think the playtest was out and then officially came out, like, mid season one. [00:39:17] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it was mid season one when, like, it officially came out. So a couple of people did a sort of little rebuilds of their characters as the new stuff came out. [00:39:28] Speaker G: I was so excited when Player Core 2 came out and it had that new investigator feat that lets you get the like, free action once per 10 minutes to set someone as kind of your temporary person. And, you know, while we're talking about things, we're going to change it. I haven't been giving people flat footed with my devised stratagem like I can. So that will be coming up different. But that won't be because of the Core 2 remaster. That will be because I am in not smart person at all times. [00:40:11] Speaker A: It makes you feel better. Such a involved class. [00:40:16] Speaker B: I didn't even have all my ability points. Okay. For all of season one. So, like, don't worry about it. I did worse. [00:40:27] Speaker F: Can I say my answer now? Because I think it's the funniest one. [00:40:30] Speaker A: Oh, nice. [00:40:31] Speaker F: There was a Pathfinder remaster. I'm being serious. I'm not joking. I did not know there was a remaster. [00:40:38] Speaker C: Yes, my dear, yes. [00:40:40] Speaker B: That's what I was talking about in the road chat. Like, a lot because it affects my character a ton there. [00:40:45] Speaker F: I was like, I thought you just wanted to use some weird supplemental material. I was like, I don't know what you're doing, but sure, have fun with that. I guess I'm just like, glazed over it. It's not relevant to me. [00:40:54] Speaker C: No, no. Sorcerer was updated like. Oh. Like with the original first push. So, okay, like, Tic didn't have to change anything because Tic just made the character play it. Yeah, yeah. [00:41:06] Speaker A: And especially because, like, the. The bloodline that Tick uses is completely homebrew. [00:41:10] Speaker D: Right. [00:41:10] Speaker C: That's true. Yeah. [00:41:13] Speaker A: I'm going to go in and bring it into parody with the rest of the Sorcerer remaster stuff at some point. It's just finding the time to sit down and do that. [00:41:23] Speaker D: Yeah. I mean, for me, yeah. I'm using. I'm also using third party. I'm using the Blood Hunter, which was brought into Pathfinder 2nd Edition, but not remaster. So I imagine, like, especially if, like, has Gunslinger been remastered in Player Core 2? Probably not yet, right? [00:41:39] Speaker B: No. [00:41:40] Speaker D: Yeah. You probably won't see it until like some of the later books where they're going to be doing the other classes as well. So. Yeah, I. I'll see. I imagine most of the remastered stuff, in my opinion, has been great. It just like, changes core mechanics, so it'll be a change in how they use it. We should probably also like, parody the Blood Hunter to remaster as well. I don't know how much will change, but it'll be good to look at it. [00:42:11] Speaker A: It's because it's like a bit of a fighter gunslinger to sort of look how fighters changed and see how that might affect. Even though I don't think Fighter really changed all that much. [00:42:21] Speaker D: I think they probably did a lot of like feet changes, but I think that's it. [00:42:30] Speaker C: Moth mom has not been updated yet because Playercore 2 was released and that covers most of Mothmon stuff, excluding Kineticist, because Kineticist, I think was made with OGL in mind. So there's not much to change there. I do plan on updating Moth Mom's sheet properly, but literally on the next level up because I rather just continue to play it as it is for now and then on the next level up because I actually could not add Moth Mom's very specific ancestry feat yet because Tian Xia character guy didn't come out until recently. So there is a lot of. A lot of that. A lot of things have to change for Moth mom on a different level. So I've decided on next level up to do so. I'm currently still playing her. I guess pre Remastered is the best way to explain it. So. [00:43:34] Speaker G: Yeah, just. I think you might have misspoken or I misheard. Did you mean that the Kineticist was made with Orc in mind? [00:43:44] Speaker A: Yeah. Not ogl. [00:43:46] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:43:48] Speaker G: I just wasn't sure whether I misheard or you misspoke. I mean, they sound so similar. It's like three letters that begins with an O. [00:43:56] Speaker C: Literally. Yes. I'm mixing. I mix them up very frequently. But yeah, Kineticus was made with Orc in mind, so I don't gotta change much of that. Unless they decide to one day pull something new out of their ass. Which then. Then it. I don't. I still don't think it'll affect me much because I'm. I'm only multi classing into Kineticis. [00:44:25] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't. I don't think Somaturge was updated yet. [00:44:32] Speaker A: I also don't know if amateurge will be because it is a. It is not a class that was covered under the ogl. It was a completely new class. So it didn't use any like, mechanics that were under that. I think it might get like a parody update because I think in Playercore 1 they have a bit of errata for some of the classes. It's more of like, okay, this is how you. [00:44:54] Speaker D: This is. [00:44:55] Speaker A: These are the terms in this class that are changing. [00:44:58] Speaker G: They've announced some Soft updates. Like I know they're re releasing. Was it the treasury book? [00:45:07] Speaker A: Yeah, I think the treasury book is getting a reprint with a bunch of errata in it. And then there's the Divine book. That's coming out soon. That's going to have a lot of stuff as well, I think. A lot of stuff for Oracle and Cleric. [00:45:28] Speaker D: Yeah. Yeah. Oracle for sure is getting updated, as you know from redacted. [00:45:33] Speaker A: Yep. Hey, we play with a lot of the new stuff in redacted. [00:45:38] Speaker D: We do, we do. You'll be hearing about redacted soon. By the time this comes out. I think. Actually. Hopefully. [00:45:48] Speaker C: By the time this comes out. That's a high. Maybe that's a high. Maybe we have nothing done for redacted. [00:45:54] Speaker D: I'm like, huh. I know it's like two months from now, but also. Huh. So yes, you probably will be seeing changes at one way or another. I think I'm gonna choose one now. [00:46:11] Speaker C: No, I haven't chosen yet. [00:46:13] Speaker D: You haven't chosen yet? Oh, I'm sorry. [00:46:14] Speaker C: No, I was too busy writing the essay. [00:46:17] Speaker D: Go. [00:46:19] Speaker C: Because we haven't. We haven't done any of proxies questions, so I'm gonna pick proxies. Yeah. And also because we're on mechanics brain, I thought this one might be fun to. To ask from Proxy. With hindsight, is there any way you would have played your character differently in season one? [00:46:44] Speaker D: Probably. [00:46:46] Speaker F: No, I think I was perfect, actually. One thing I would change, actually show up for the finale. Roblor gets drop. That's all I would. [00:47:00] Speaker C: So funny, Tick. Oh my God. [00:47:02] Speaker B: I would have liked to have built the character correctly the first time with all. All the points distributed. [00:47:11] Speaker D: Jeez, Beast. The whole campaign won. [00:47:15] Speaker B: That was three points short. [00:47:17] Speaker F: Three. [00:47:19] Speaker B: That's a lot when it comes to abilities. [00:47:21] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:47:22] Speaker A: No, I could be like. Something about your build feels weird and I could not tell. I didn't. It was beginning of our season two recordings when you went, oh, no. And I went, oh, this makes so much sense. [00:47:36] Speaker B: It took me a whole season to do the math, but I did finally do it and the results were disastrous. [00:47:42] Speaker C: It's fine. Somebody's got to nerf themselves every. Every season campaign, whatever. So mechanically, Moth Mom. No, I think I did everything well, down to the many reveals. Like I'm a part of the reveal circle, so I think I did. I think I did that well. I did that the way I wanted it to personality. So I actually switched it originally. So one of Moth Mom's touchstones is Kratos, from God of War. Specifically God of war Ragnarok in 2018. She was going to be more like half silent type. And then I said, I asked Aubrey, hey, it makes sense that they would like strip her down to nothing because of how genuinely dangerous Moth mom is. Both build wise and like reputation. It's just gonna be weird if she's just silent and basically naked. She'd just be like the wretched, tarnished, you know, like it would be. That's so weird. She. I wore a bag on my head for most of like the first episode too. That would have been weird. Like, do you talk? [00:49:14] Speaker B: He would have been such a creeper. [00:49:16] Speaker A: The strong silent type doesn't always work in an audio medium. [00:49:20] Speaker C: It doesn't, it doesn't. And so I decided to go with her other touchstone and kind of mesh it together. Her other touchstone also from God of War is Freya, who is a lot more talkative and, but still like strong and well meaning and stuff. So that's low. That's what I would do. Low key. I would, I would still prefer the strong silent type because that would be a very big change for, for me. However, it just didn't fit this time around. And it's not like I dislike what Moth mom has become because I still think she is strong and still quite silent. She's just way more. She's just way more talkative than I thought she would be. You know, I mean like, I wanted her to be like aggro where it was like, no. And that's it. You don't talk because mom said no instead of no, dumbass. Because that's what she is now. So yeah, that would be my, my only change preference. But at the same time, I'm. I'm happy with what I have and with what she is because now I get to do things like torture life mentally by calling her a good girl. Strong silence. How mom would have never. So yeah, that's, that's my changes. [00:50:56] Speaker D: If, if I were to play Yuri different, I think I, I really like mechanically where I was. I think some of the Blood Hunter stuff I underutilized like blood curses. I didn't add them to my character sheep for like five sessions, six sessions, I think because I just simply forgot. And then I used it against like the golem. We went to the mansion and instantly didn't work. So I'm like, I'm gonna use this action economy different. I, I don't know. I, I like how I did season one Yuri. I also like like the partial reveals or the reveals I did. I. Because I don't think Yuri would have done like the last episode, our last fight transformation, any other place and feel good about it. Not that. Not that they felt good about it there. I think I distinctly said that their bones break and rearrange in both ways. So I think I would have had more in character beef with Lace and that's about it. [00:52:07] Speaker E: Yeah. I ended up accidentally flirting with Yuri, I think more than I intended to. [00:52:14] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:52:17] Speaker A: Antagonistically plays into secret information. [00:52:21] Speaker B: Yes, exactly. [00:52:24] Speaker D: Yes, this is true. [00:52:27] Speaker G: I slightly regret outing Niall, like, first thing. [00:52:31] Speaker E: No regrets. I love it. [00:52:33] Speaker C: That was perfect. [00:52:36] Speaker G: It makes sense in character. It makes sense for me. [00:52:44] Speaker F: It was funny as hell. I want to be able to interact with the rest of the group now because Niall has not cut on that. Everyone has figured it out and does not care. Niall is just like, I really don't want to come off as like a weird cannibal to these people, so I have to deny it. And I'm like, wow. I. I'm. I do not think it's any problem that he did not catch on to that because he is autistic and a little bit dumb. And he also does not want to be considered like, you know what? Like, if you judge a situation wrong, like, the worst case scenario is you're kind of fucked. But like, I. I want to. I want to be able to talk to, like, I have not spoken to Yuri or late, like this entire campaign and I would like to change that. You have like five minutes tops. And I'm like, please. There's so much untapped potential here. [00:53:22] Speaker D: Yeah. I think we only had like maybe a couple scenes together and then like, you're rooming with Lou, but we have had very little time to actually be invited. [00:53:32] Speaker F: All I got from you, like, come on, we all got it. I got to get along with like, half of you because, like, moth mom, good friends. Lou haven't talked enough to, but want to talk a bit more. Alastor, I now want to make you all sorts of cheese. I've been researching ways to make cheese. By the way, there's different. All sorts of different types of cheese that I can make you. Now. I'm shit. I'm going to ask you your favorite types of cheese. I'm not joking. Oh, let's do another mechanics question. Are there any interesting schemes you have for your character's build? Proxy has asked us. Thank you, Proxy. [00:54:03] Speaker C: Yes, There's a lot of stuff that moth mom hasn't used yet or has been used because somebody had to play me. And I believe Lightning was Used because that's one of the. That's one of the secondary elements that an air kineticist can channel. I don't know. I cannot remember if it was used or not. I just remember it being something shocking was in the notes, so I'm assuming it was. Either way, I have way cooler ways to use it, and I'm just waiting for more appropriate settings because she would not. She would not bust out lightning unless needed. Lightning is quite literally very flashy, so she would rather not have to use it all the time. Motham also has a bite attack. She has active fangs. That could work. And also as a monk, that means she hits very well with the bite attack. And I'm. Truthfully, me and her, we were never gonna bite any of those zombies. What? That's. That I would require a tetanus shot that we wouldn't need to be able to give me. You know what I mean? That's how I get ghoul fever. [00:55:22] Speaker F: Actually, this is found mostly in the dirt and in the ground. It's not transmitted through living creatures. [00:55:27] Speaker C: They're not living. Tick. [00:55:30] Speaker F: It's living enough. [00:55:31] Speaker B: Okay? [00:55:31] Speaker C: No, it's not. [00:55:33] Speaker F: Recently, because I stabbed myself, I had to Google this for, like, 25 minutes. [00:55:36] Speaker C: There. We fought a golem. Like, a fully bronzed out golem. Like, I could have bit it. [00:55:43] Speaker F: Oh, that would get you tetanus. That would get you tetanus. [00:55:46] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Like, I'm not. I'm not about that. And neither is she. We were both grossed out about. All of my characters will forever be grossed out about things like sewers and poor hygiene. I don't care. Feel bad if you want to. It's just going to happen. And, yeah, I'm looking for ways to bite people because I will hit. I will most likely hit you. [00:56:14] Speaker G: I'm glad I wasn't the one that. [00:56:15] Speaker F: Said we were all thinking it. I just had to say it. You know. [00:56:23] Speaker G: I want to trick magic items. There's three things I'm excited about. Tricking magic items. I was originally. I don't know if I've talked to Aubrey. I was originally going to go scroll Trickster wizard so that I could do, like, all of the scrolls, but I think I'm in probably season three, going to pick up Eldritch Archer because I think it works really cool with Investigator. And I'm excited for the. Oh, I failed my, like, check to see if I can attack. I'm going to cast a spell instead, which I haven't been able to do since I picked up any good Attack cantrips. [00:57:15] Speaker F: My favorite ability. [00:57:16] Speaker B: Nuh. I have so, so many planned. I have spent hours planning out every level up in multiple directions so that it is efficient and effective and works well. But mostly I'm gunning for level 13. There's one thing that happens at level 13. It is the only thing I want. I don't care about the everything between level one and 13. Whatever, it's cool. I don't care. I want the one thing at level 13 and it's not even class related. Want it so bad. If Aubrey stops this campaign at level 12, I will quit the podcast. I will be so mad. [00:58:08] Speaker D: I have lots of schemes and plans, especially because I think Blood Hunter and Gunslinger is a very fun combination for me specifically. But like, I think at level 8 there is a lot of really fun Blood Hunter stuff that I'm having trouble trying to choose, but it's going to very much lean into how I do combat with Yurido. And then once I get more gunslinger feats, like, I think recently I got one that now that you. I'm not worried about shooting a gun in a place because I'll attract hordes of ghouls and I think for. No, I'm not going to say that season two stuff. So I'm just excited to be able to shoot guns now. Don't take that out of context, please. Alyssa. [00:59:03] Speaker E: Yeah, I have only planned out through level eight, but I think that I am like, I love Dandy as my archetype. I think that it has a lot of very fun, cool, sexy things. I am also very excited to get into a second archetype because some of the new ones are also very cool. [00:59:31] Speaker F: I'm a keeper with you. I have not planned literally anything past the current level we're at right now. I'm winging it by the seat of my pants because I don't know what's going on. I just want. My one goal is cook good and anything that lets me cook good, I am taking. That's it. [00:59:46] Speaker D: Attracts. Attracts. [00:59:49] Speaker C: Yeah, I also am not. I have not planned my. I can't plan them out. When I try to, I get. I get like really, really into it. I had like three different versions of like moth mom sheets before we started. And then I made five and then I went back to three, but those three were not the original three. And then. And I made everybody vote three, like three separate times. Like, I swear to God, I made you guys vote for me to pick and then I didn't choose your votes. Normally I do so like that's I can't plan these things out. I can plan out specific things, like maybe ancestry feats. Like, I know what I want to do for five because I have to change the character sheet anyways. So, like, that's different. Right? But, yeah, I don't plan out for moth. I really can't plan out for Gravewing. Oh, boy. She changes too much. [01:00:47] Speaker D: Was that everyone? [01:00:50] Speaker C: I think that's everybody, yeah. [01:00:52] Speaker B: All right. [01:00:53] Speaker D: I am going to go with one of. [01:00:55] Speaker E: Didn't you already ask two? Oh, no, Aubrey asked two. [01:01:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:01:01] Speaker D: I'm gonna go with one from Rue. Thanks, Rue, for sending in multiple questions. I'm gonna leave two specifically for not me to ask. So for all the players, if your character get transported into a story with the completely wrong genre for them to be in, what genre would they be in? How would they react being trapped there? And what would they be willing to do to get out? [01:01:27] Speaker F: That's just the game for Niall right now. What do you mean? That's. I do not want to be in this genre. I'm hoping in the cooking school, anime. I don't want to be here. I don't even think I can get out. I'm just doing my best. That's my answer. I. I already done. [01:01:50] Speaker C: Every time I think about this, I think about very specific examples. So I think Bravewing would be in a messy political intrigue court drama like Bridgerton. I think she would hate it because her role would be probably a maid or something. So that means she's actively breaking a lot of dumb laws that she. Not only does she. She has no issue with breaking the law. It's the fact that she has to do it for very, like. For, in her case, very, like, unnecessary reasons because she wants to blend in and stay out of sight and being. If. If she were in the role of a maid in a messy political, that means she's getting with a rich person and then actively breaking classism to stay with them. And she doesn't want to do this. Not because she wants to break classism or anything like that. She doesn't want to do it if it means that she has to fall in love and get married. Because that's usually the angle. She has to fall in love and get married. All the while her actual job is on the line because the. Obviously, like, if it was a rich man, he's not suffering anything. He's actually not suffering anything. And that's so annoying. She would be peeved and annoyed. She doesn't like it. Goodness, she wouldn't even be Able to wear breathable clothing. She would hate it. She would hate it so much. She would. She would. She would really, really hate it. Oh my God. She might jump into the river and then remember that she can swim. Like it's. She'd be so upset. [01:03:49] Speaker B: Oh God. [01:03:50] Speaker C: Yeah, that's moth mom. [01:03:56] Speaker E: The wrong genre for lathe would be her being transported into like a very sweet and wholesome like stuff high school show or you know, like friends, whatever show. And she would turn it into Riverdale. [01:04:18] Speaker C: Close enough. Welcome back, Heartstopper. [01:04:25] Speaker G: I don't know why, but I was thinking the worst thing that Alistair could be transformed to or like whatever the verb is transported. My first thought after going through that would cafe that I imagine Alistair getting stuck in an Otome game. [01:04:53] Speaker C: Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. [01:04:57] Speaker E: You make. [01:04:57] Speaker C: You remind me of the pigeon doing simulator. [01:05:00] Speaker G: Yeah. [01:05:02] Speaker A: TOEFL boyfriend or whatever. [01:05:04] Speaker C: Boyfriend. Yeah. I have like 200 hours on it. [01:05:08] Speaker G: Yeah, like as one of the male love interests and just being so. So completely confused and out of place and having no idea what to do. [01:05:24] Speaker A: And like Alistair's the secret route. [01:05:29] Speaker C: The class hamster never looked. It's so gross. [01:05:36] Speaker E: But that's how I see you. [01:05:38] Speaker C: That's how I see your route starting. You're an actual class pet, but when you're alone with the protagonist, you turn into a hot man. [01:05:47] Speaker F: No, that sounds like the part of the Adam Sandler move. I'm gonna completely off. [01:05:52] Speaker D: Is that why Aki, you like it so much? [01:05:55] Speaker C: What? Why do I like it? [01:05:57] Speaker D: She said it sounds like the plot of Adam Sandler movie. [01:06:00] Speaker C: It could be, but no, it's because there's. There is a gay Otome game where the main character can get gets like super high off of cough syrup because they have a fever and they took too much and then they date their goldfish who becomes a gigantic hot man. But the face is still a fish. Huh? [01:06:23] Speaker G: That's right up there with that new game and dating your ennui. [01:06:29] Speaker F: Anyways, not to get off topic. [01:06:34] Speaker C: What about you, Dusty? [01:06:38] Speaker D: I think Urido in the sports anime would be very fun. Put Eurodo in Haikyuu. [01:06:47] Speaker E: Would he just straight up murder people for the sport? [01:06:54] Speaker D: If they pissed him off enough, yes. That's how Eurodo gets kicked out. And they join a team filled with punchy rebels that like have to like keep getting in trouble for beating up their opponents. Which I guess is now just another Adam Sandler movie. [01:07:12] Speaker C: Tokyo Avengers. Yeah, that's what Yuri Yurito sounds like. Which one is an anime called Tokyo Revengers. It's not that similar in plot, but I think Yorito would fit in very well with that. And then the plot twist would get you. [01:07:32] Speaker D: Okay, Lou. [01:07:35] Speaker B: So I've been racking my brain since I read this question, like a few days ago. And the problem is, I don't think there is a wrong genre for Lou because she's a cross genre individual. Like, you pop her in a romance, she's gonna love it. You put her in a horror story already there, baby. You put her in like some cute cooking show, she'll be bad at it, but she's gonna have a good time. A mystery. Yeah, let's go. Like, I sci fi would be the weirdest thing for her, but even that I think she would adapt to pretty well. I don't know what the wrong genre is for Lou. [01:08:10] Speaker C: A very serious Aurelios. A very serious documentary about socks. [01:08:15] Speaker F: How it's made videos. [01:08:17] Speaker B: He likes socks. [01:08:18] Speaker D: I. I want to see Lou in the great British Bake Off. [01:08:22] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. But she'd be bad at it and. [01:08:27] Speaker D: Have to deal with Paul Hollywood or. [01:08:29] Speaker C: Something like taskmaster Lou in MasterChef. Because then you get yelled. Specifically the American MasterChef. Because then you're getting yelled at. Lou is getting stressed out actively. Will. I don't think Lou's gonna get knocked out immediately because there's obviously worse chefs, but Lou's gonna be in the bottom three times in a row. Her charisma is gonna go from whatever it is right now to a 2, and your. And your mental stability is gonna drop even harder than whatever the fuck bag you're fumbling with. Leif. And it's just. It's just not gonna be a good time. A British man's gonna call you a fucking donkey, and you're just not gonna have a good time. I think not late. I think Lou is gonna cry. 6. And everybody's going to be annoyed because you're a woman and you're crying. [01:09:17] Speaker E: I think that Lou on an improv show like Makes Some Noise would be very hilarious and also very stressful for her. [01:09:26] Speaker B: I don't. I don't think she'd know what to do. [01:09:29] Speaker D: It's. [01:09:30] Speaker B: I genuinely don't think. I think she understands theater because she's. She's dabbled and I think mostly at home in a one man show, but I don't think she understands improv. [01:09:44] Speaker D: Okay. Todd's crew. Game changer Survivor. Who wins. [01:09:53] Speaker F: Anything with the word survivor in it? It's mothmall. [01:09:56] Speaker E: I was going to say gravely wins because no One wants to vote her out. [01:10:00] Speaker D: This. No, this is true. [01:10:02] Speaker B: For one reason or another single camera sitcom. [01:10:10] Speaker C: Oh, I know, I know. Another show that would be bad for Lou. Naked and Afraid. Not because you're naked, but because Naked and afraid requires you to do lots of survival skills. And from. And not only you. Just. You've never been out of your house for most of your life. [01:10:27] Speaker B: Yeah, for sure. [01:10:28] Speaker C: Yeah. And like. And they would cap you on things you're allowed to use. So if you like magically started a fire, the producers were coming, put it out. And now you need to find new wood, new everything. [01:10:41] Speaker F: She would. [01:10:42] Speaker B: Oh, wait, I can't talk about what she would do because I don't. It's not fully been talked about yet. [01:10:47] Speaker F: But guys, I'm sure she would do. [01:10:49] Speaker B: Stuff and that would just be. She'd just be feral woman in the woods. [01:10:52] Speaker F: Then Ferris. Ferris. I would pay legitimate money to see Lou experience the Truman show as Truman. [01:11:00] Speaker B: Oh, no, wait, I mean. [01:11:05] Speaker D: I mean, we can't talk about this. [01:11:09] Speaker C: Cut that. [01:11:11] Speaker D: More questions. Someone else choose. [01:11:16] Speaker F: I already chose twice. I can't. [01:11:18] Speaker B: How much moths could a moth mom toss with a moth mom would pass moths. That's from ultimate columbo respector. [01:11:25] Speaker C: That is 47. [01:11:30] Speaker D: I was going to say six. [01:11:35] Speaker C: 47. You got to go super high with her because she's very, very competent. [01:11:40] Speaker B: I'll say zero. Because why would you throw a moss. [01:11:44] Speaker C: To see what happens. [01:11:48] Speaker A: I mean, I mean, to be fair, you do live in a world with like cat sized moths that eat corpses. [01:11:55] Speaker C: That's true. [01:11:55] Speaker D: This is true. [01:11:56] Speaker B: I forgot how big they are. [01:12:01] Speaker C: Let's see another question. [01:12:03] Speaker E: I asked a question. This one is from Rue. It is Aubry. How long does it take you to edit an episode of Todd's? What goes into editing a podcast? Talk to us about your process. [01:12:14] Speaker A: Yeah, so usually a good way that I know how long an edit is going to take is usually an edit takes about double the amount of time that it took to record for just sort of like a base edit. You know, I usually start off with. Because we record in batches, essentially we record two in a row. I toss everyone's audio files into audition and slap all of my usual filters on everybody to eliminate background noise and make people's voices a little clearer. And then I usually go through and I segment everything. So I will take the segment the episode. So I've got. Okay, this episode, the first episode we record. This is the second episode we record. Okay, this is our pre roll chatter. And then if there's anything in there that I want to save. I'll save it for blooper reel stuff. And I'll do the same thing with our break chatter. And from there I'll usually go and go episode by episode. And I will go in and using the cutting tool, I will cut around everyone's. Everyone's like audio. So it also lets me like easily edit out ums and ahs if I need to, as I could just slice them right off of the thing. And then once I've done sort of my base cutting around everyone's audio, because I've been editing everyone's audio for long enough that I'm aware of what certain sounds people's sound waves look like. So then I'll do my first listen through, and I'll usually do that at 1.5 speed because it's more of just like, okay, how is this flowing? And then I'll go through and I'll edit things like for just general G and G stuff. I don't do an incredibly detailed edit. I usually just sort of cut out table talk. And I cut out rules talk, especially if we've covered the rule before. My general rule is if we have not talked about a rule before, I'll leave it in the first time, but I'll cut it any other time because I don't need to describe how grappling works for the billionth time. But other than that, then I'll do that. And then once I'm happy with that, I will do a second listen through. And while I'm doing that, I will mark music transitions, switch from spooky to battle music here, switch from spooky to chill music here. And then I'll go through and I'll score it. And then usually it's like for about an hour and a half episode that usually it sits about four to five hours, generally from start to finish. I don't usually break that into multiple days. I'll spend a day where I just do the base edits on stuff. And I have a bunch of episodes for season two already done. I just have to go back and score them and that I already have the notes done. So it's kind of just I go in and plug everything in, do a quick listen through to make sure everything the sound is balanced. And then I will also toss things in my little audio balancer and that'll make everything sound good for when it goes up. [01:15:29] Speaker B: That's awesome. [01:15:31] Speaker D: Editing is a lot of work. [01:15:32] Speaker B: That's a ton of work. [01:15:33] Speaker D: Yeah. But thank you for sharing your process. That's it's funny because like it's. It's just like slightly different than mine. [01:15:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:15:43] Speaker D: Which is like it takes equally same amount of time for that. And thinking of like late season of the Mom, I'm glad we switched it. Doing shorter episodes. [01:15:54] Speaker G: Who ums the most? [01:15:57] Speaker A: I honestly don't pay attention. Like I like the only time I ever usually for like base G and G stuff that I cut a lot of ums and uhs is if somebody has a sentence that they're like I don't know where this is going and I there's a lot of filler words and it I am editing a different show and that one I'm actually going through and removing almost 90% of all that stuff. And for an hour and 40 minute episode for my first pass through it took about five hours. [01:16:27] Speaker B: Dang. [01:16:28] Speaker A: I was editing it in a discord call with a friend because they wanted to know my process and I was like okay, buckle up. We're going to be here for a bit and you're going to hear me re listen to because this is one where I was specifically cleaning up and especially when I did Mother May I. That's even different because that is a much more detailed edit and yeah I some of those episodes like took upwards of nine hours to edit. [01:16:52] Speaker D: Yeah, I know. I know that feel. Aki, you choose. [01:17:01] Speaker C: Let's see. Let's do Nebula's one. What was the behind the scenes planning process for pre character for cypher pre campaign character relationships particularly between the cousins and Lou and Leif. Did you get together and decide you wanted to play characters who have prior history TM first thing or did it come about after the characters are already being formed and deciding it would fit nicely? [01:17:30] Speaker B: Kind of both. I know. Oh go ahead. [01:17:35] Speaker D: I think think specifically the cousins thing all started as a joke because like we wanted to play characters that were related our like history. I think we all did it like this group specifically we love having character relationships for sure but the touchstone for at least for me for Lou and Yuri is the A Court of Fey and Flowers. Lou and Emily expert cousin. [01:18:05] Speaker C: Cousin. [01:18:06] Speaker B: Yeah. We we both really liked that dynamic and we thought it would be really fun to have it with anybody anyone at all. [01:18:16] Speaker D: I I early concepts Yuri was also really close to being bird thing. [01:18:22] Speaker B: To being what? Oh really bird themed. That's so funny. You should have that would have been fun. We could have been birds. [01:18:29] Speaker F: Birds of a feather flock together. Eh. [01:18:31] Speaker E: Exactly. Bird cousins would have a Bria coming after you. [01:18:35] Speaker A: Just too similar. [01:18:38] Speaker D: Yes. Yeah. But I think that's how it worked out. And I mean, I think for all of us. We started talking about this during season four of Recording Box still. Because we were. We were talking about Noxlite for a while. [01:18:56] Speaker B: At least a year in advance. [01:18:58] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:18:58] Speaker B: Of recording it. [01:18:59] Speaker D: So we had a lot of time. [01:19:00] Speaker B: To go over character ideas and change ideas, et cetera. I think with Lou and Lathe, it was. It just. It worked out. Like there was like a half joke that was dropped in the chat. And then we're like, well, but what if actually. And then we committed to the bit, which is how a lot of this sort of stuff happens, I think, is we drop a. We drop a joke. But, like, are we joking? Like, what if it was real, though? Like, it would be funny as a joke, but also what if. [01:19:33] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:19:36] Speaker F: Jk, unless. Can I talk about, like, a slight. A smaller but slightly sillier, like, connection. The reason why, like, low key. The reason why Gravewing and Niall are such good friends. And I mentioned. I was like, hey, I work at this restaurant. If any of you guys want to be like frequent visitors, let me know. And Aki was like, yes. You use spices, I'm here. And I was like, yes. That's how I know one person in this group. And I'm like, yeah, yes. Elaith canonically goes there only for the alcohol and the secrets, and that makes Nile mad. [01:20:09] Speaker C: Ma. So I was the first one to figure out who it was playing. And that's solely because Aubrey mentioned throwing in the Bug family. The Bug family are long lasting ocs between the two of us. And when I say long lasting, I mean like back to the prehistoric ages of before the podcast where you like how Bach was the very first, like originally a D and D campaign that a lot of us played in. The campaign we played afterwards was a modern day superhero thing. And that's why Moth mom is a vigilante, is because I'm Portal. I'm. We were like, still superheroes, right? And you're like, yeah, yes, technically still superheroes. So vigilantes, vigilantes. Like, we just had to alter a lot of things to make it work because, like, there were still like a lot of characters fit the same thing. And Moth mom in particular was originally a Hornet, also known as Hornet. And if you're really prehistoric, then we also play a Thirsty sword lesbians game. Like a one shot or two shot. [01:21:26] Speaker A: It was like a two shot. [01:21:27] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Like so many fucking years ago. And I played Hornet. Hornet is moth mom. There's a lot of Changes that happened, including how edgy shit got. Because Hornet is a different type of edgy. And moth mom is also a very different type of edgy. I think moth mom is way easier to stomach and like than Hornet. [01:21:47] Speaker F: Sorry, interruption. But also interjection spoilers. Also, didn't you kill my mom in that game? [01:21:52] Speaker C: I killed your mom. Yeah. [01:21:53] Speaker F: Yeah. That's relevant context. You killed my mom in that game. [01:21:56] Speaker C: It. I. You'd be surprised how many people's mothers I seem to kill. Yeah. [01:22:04] Speaker F: I'm kidding. That's a spoiler. I can't say that. [01:22:09] Speaker C: A lot of stuff like that happened. I was originally supposed to play way different concept characters, but then Aubrey dangled that and we said, let's make it work. So, like, yeah, I knew exactly who I was playing, and I did not want anything close. Close ties. Unless somebody else wanted to commit to vigilantism as well, since I had such a strong visual for what I wanted. Children included. By the way, the children are important. They were always important from the start. And technically, one of the kids is like the character I played in the second home game campaign that we ever played. So that one is very important to me as well. Who Melissa dated. Alyssa played another character, and you dated that one. That was hilarious. [01:23:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:23:07] Speaker C: A mask. One shot. I don't know if that ever got out of Patreon, but if we. [01:23:10] Speaker F: If we keep ek, except for Mothball, we all just play moth mom's kids. [01:23:15] Speaker C: You could. You could. You could. Good. Yeah. [01:23:18] Speaker F: Babies. [01:23:19] Speaker A: There are no. There are enough of them. But yeah. [01:23:21] Speaker F: No, my favorite backup character actually is one of Moth mom's kids. I'm not kidding. Now. [01:23:25] Speaker C: Wait, hold on. [01:23:25] Speaker F: Let me cook. Let me cook. [01:23:28] Speaker A: And right around the time you were doing that, I was doing a replay of Assassin's Creed Syndicate, which is probably like, one of my favorite of the pre. Like, change in how the games work. I really liked the London map and the sort of like, it's honestly just Victorian Batman simulator. And that was just like, huh. Yeah. No, it was giving me a lot of inspiration when I was doing a lot of the writing. So, yeah, it's like. Because I had the idea to, like, put in, like, fun little vigilantes because it's fun. And then we just went, but what if. [01:24:05] Speaker D: Another thing for me, I don't remember how far it got, but I. Dustin was a little bit unaware of the Lou Lathe connection as well. I knew because I was talking to Alyssa, because we talked to each other a lot. Surprise. That I was like, okay, let's Have a characters that have beef with each other because we have our other characters redacted. Figure that out. But I think we were fresh off of MMI first season and, like, having beef with Alyssa's characters is very fun. So I think, think my confusion in episode one where, like, I was like, what do you mean you two know each other? Was very legitimately me saying, what do you mean you two know each other? [01:24:56] Speaker F: Took that beef one step above what they had to. [01:24:59] Speaker A: I'm just saying, yeah, you know, life went straight up. And she's being like, no, I your cousin. [01:25:09] Speaker E: All about year now, not about Louis. It all. [01:25:15] Speaker B: About a track for lose luck in life. [01:25:18] Speaker C: No, my sweet girl. [01:25:23] Speaker B: Ah, another rejection she's unaware of. [01:25:32] Speaker E: But sort of related to this question. This is a question from Alyssa that isn't on this list. What sort of character touch points do you have for your characters? Like, inspirations, media touch points. [01:25:49] Speaker C: I can go. I can go. Because I already said two of them and it makes sense because I love character touchstones a lot so people can understand what my thought. My thought process is and what my blends are like. Because there's a lot of shit that happens and I want people thought to get it so bad. So I already said God of War, Kratos and God of War, Freya. Those two are very good touchstones for like, what Moth mom is right now, if I'm being honest. Cassandra Cain from Batman, DC Comics. Not Birds of Prey, the movie, the comic books, specifically, where she is usually muted and very traumatized and then magically is forced to learn English. That one also Mizu from Blue Eye Samurai. That's also where I got the glasses idea from, specifically because I wanted something covering Mothman's eyes a lot in. In. In her civilian look. And I don't know why I didn't think about the glasses thing until I saw that fucking show. There we go. God. There was a couple more off, but that I can't think about off the top of my head because they're so weird. But you gotta understand that a lot of Slay the Princess, like Princess from Slay the Princess is in there. Is in Moth Mom. A lot of it is there. And then Moth mom also has Bruce Lee and specifically the Chinese American activists and forms of protest all fit within Moth Mom's general concept and design, which is great and hilarious. I've mentioned poor Batman. Batman's obviously a touchstone, but he needs to be poor and scared. But a lot of Batman's also in it, I think. I think that's all of them. I know there is one more Eileen from Bloodborne. That is the one that goes Hunter. A hunter is a hunter. Like that. That one. That bitch. That bitch all over my girl. Goodness gracious. Yeah, that's. I think that's it. I think that's. I've hit all my touchstones, but, like, mom is very troubled. It's the best way to put it. Very troubled. Has had a. Has had a very troubled life. Will continue to have troubles, but is learned, hopefully, or experienced. [01:28:51] Speaker D: I'm going to piggyback off of that because the. When the campaign was pitched, it took me a while to land on vibes. I knew I wanted to be cursed. That's kind of about it. And so a lot of it is. A lot. A lot of Bloodborne is in your know, like, a lot of it. If you listen to this, hopefully you listen to all of season one of Todd's, but, like, down to Sakar, Amelia, that transformation, that whole character concept. And Fakar, like, Lawrence Fakar or whatever. Down with, like, the horns. When I decided it's gonna be cursed and all that, which is, like, tying in with the cousins and all that. Like, also, that's why I did. I wanted to do something with blood because Bloodborne is, you know, blood. And that and the monster hunting was combination of that and Van Helsing. But there's also a lot of Cassian andor from Andor is in there. A lot of it is probably not apparent in season one and probably, like, ongoing. You may not see some of that, but, like, the character drives and all that stems from Andor a lot in how I play Urdu, Even though to like. Like, yes, obviously, yur though. Yuri is a man of means. They have means, but they're doing. They're attempting to do something about it, even if it's not very readily apparent and even if people don't like them about it. The last one is one that I put in the reference stock for character art. It's just Trans Mask. Father Gaskell from. From Bloodborne. That's really a big touchstone as well. [01:30:49] Speaker C: Gascoigne. [01:30:50] Speaker D: Gascoigne. Not Gasket. [01:30:52] Speaker C: No, Gascoigne. [01:30:53] Speaker D: I'm not Italian. So, yeah, that I like. Even while making the thing, I literally put that in there and I put it in the joke for Aki to see later that, yes, it's like, oh, yeah, they're just Trans Mask also. [01:31:07] Speaker C: Like, I love it so much. [01:31:09] Speaker D: Yeah. Yuri. Yuri is Trans Mask. I don't think. I don't think it's come up in the actual show. I mean, it's not for many reasons. You don't see Yuri shirtless a lot, but they are Transmask. [01:31:22] Speaker E: Wow. Yuri get good. [01:31:23] Speaker F: You sound immediately shirtless. I thought I was muted, but. [01:31:28] Speaker C: Please. [01:31:28] Speaker F: I want to see your tits. [01:31:30] Speaker D: They don't have any. [01:31:32] Speaker F: Men can have tits. How old? [01:31:33] Speaker D: They don't. They were cut off. [01:31:36] Speaker F: Listen, I want to see his chest then. Okay, listen. [01:31:39] Speaker B: Whenever, like. [01:31:40] Speaker F: Charles, whenever like men have like any muscle on their chest, I call it their boots. To clarify, I want to see Yuri's muscular. Like Kratos massive titties. I want to. [01:31:52] Speaker D: Yeah, but Kratos doesn't have, you know, like, does he? [01:31:56] Speaker F: I should not say things like that about Australia's brother. But listen. [01:32:00] Speaker C: Oh my God. Oh my God. [01:32:02] Speaker E: I assumed you meant God of war, Kratos. [01:32:05] Speaker B: So did I. Yeah, I was also nodding along. [01:32:07] Speaker F: I don't know what that guy looks like. I only know Kratos. Blood of kings. [01:32:10] Speaker C: I got you, Tic. I got you. Also, I did forget one touchstone. A very important one. Te Fiti from Moana is moth mom. [01:32:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:32:23] Speaker E: Well, for late it is a bunch of really cool people. So there's like Darren from Wrath of the Righteous. There's like Sylvain from Fire Emblem. Three houses. There's Dean Winchester from the CW hit show Supernatural. And I was thinking of this for Ferris related reasons. But I think that Lucy Westenra is like the anti laith. And that does sort of fit into it as well. [01:32:53] Speaker B: Though I can give you a new touchdown. And I already have several times in your DM as I read through that book. [01:33:00] Speaker E: Yep, exactly. [01:33:03] Speaker B: Specifically Iris, like Lucy. But Iris, you'll know. You have to read it. And then you'll know. [01:33:09] Speaker D: The Dean Winchester comparison kicks me out. [01:33:14] Speaker B: Every time that one hits me like a brick. Precisely because I just get launched back to those days. [01:33:23] Speaker E: You're lucky. [01:33:25] Speaker D: What about Lou? What's Lou's Touchstones? [01:33:27] Speaker B: Oh, boy. I'm fairly sure I can say all of these. I'm going to. And you can assume what you want to say. We all know she's. Hey, that's my. That's my. That's my microphone. That's my microphone. You and your powerful little tail just knocking things off table. Anyway, my cat says hi. Okay, so let's see here. We start with. With. Some of these are contradictory, but they make sense. I swear. Eda, the owl lady from Owl House. Also Lilith Clawthorne from Owl House. Yes, if you haven't seen Owl House spoilers. I guess yes, they're sisters. Yes, they're very opposite people, but they both make sense in different ways. Charlie Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel. Do not at me. Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Also the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. It works, I promise. Also, just slightly, not nearly as strongly, but also a tiny bit of vicar. Amelia from Bloodborne. Because bloodborne reference has to get in here somewhere. And that's the one that appeals to me. Also your forger from Spy X Family. For reasons. No, you see it. You get it. You understand? Okay. And then lastly, Sabriel from Sabriel. Because that's the whole reason I picked a thaumaturge. Okay. That's why she's a thaumaturge. Okay. Sorry. Tail in my mouth. My open mouth. Yeah, that's all of them. I will not be elaborating. I don't think I need to. I think you understand. I think you see the vision with every single one of those. And if you don't, I'll elaborate privately. [01:35:13] Speaker D: Take Inspire. Lock. [01:35:18] Speaker F: I'm gonna put stock on the fence here because I'm still trying to think if I actually have any. [01:35:22] Speaker B: Yes, you do. You have a very clear one that we used in advertising purposes. [01:35:27] Speaker F: Okay. But that's not a touchstone, because I don't know much about that series. I've not been using that as actual character. Listen, okay. Venom. I don't. [01:35:40] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:35:41] Speaker F: Leos came after we started Turn of the Dark Star. [01:35:44] Speaker B: That doesn't matter. [01:35:47] Speaker F: Not sure. Whatever. You go first while people decide my choices. For me. [01:35:54] Speaker G: I. I don't think in character touchstones. Yeah, I don't generally think in character touchstones. I generally think in more specific, general archetypes. [01:36:16] Speaker A: I mean, archetypes work, too. [01:36:25] Speaker G: Although the one that's calling to me right in this moment, just because it's the most recent thing, is it Cassandra from, like, I think actually originally Cassandra from Mythology, but I am thinking the newer Netflix show. [01:36:50] Speaker E: Chaos. [01:36:52] Speaker G: Yes. [01:36:56] Speaker C: See, I see where you're going with that. I see where you're going with that. [01:36:58] Speaker A: Same. [01:37:01] Speaker G: Like, a little bit crazy, but a lot of. Right. My original thought was, what if a conspiracy theorist was right and not racist? Because that second part was very important. Because. Because a lot of conspiracy theories tend to go down that type of route, but I wanted someone that was respectable. [01:37:50] Speaker B: So. [01:37:51] Speaker F: Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls. [01:37:54] Speaker G: I have not seen Gravity Falls, unfortunately. [01:38:03] Speaker B: Honestly, Both of them. I would argue both. For different reasons. [01:38:07] Speaker A: Both of them. Yeah, for sure. [01:38:11] Speaker C: What do you call it? Alastair also gives me Detective Pikachu vibes for very obvious reasons. But also, every time we walk around, I do just imagine that Alastair is filling in the noise with random things, thoughts, or songs. So I don't know why. I just picture you just, you know, like, being, like, being like those Criabins. What about the Krevins? I don't even know how to spell. Like. I just think about you doing stuff like that. [01:38:47] Speaker G: I might have to steal that because I definitely feel the Detective Pikachu vibes. [01:39:03] Speaker D: With the coffee. I don't know if Alice ever drinks coffee. Tick. Did you. Do you have any? Or do you, like. [01:39:10] Speaker F: Do you also have any more time? [01:39:12] Speaker C: But. [01:39:12] Speaker F: Okay. This is something that Aki will personally feel in her bones for my sake. More like pity for me. My touchstone is technically all of the alien Symbiote D and D characters that I consistently keep trying to play, but constantly have the games canceled to the point where I. I could not play a single one as Aki, who played in most of these games, watched me bleed my eyes out trying to play the one trope I really wanted to play. [01:39:40] Speaker C: I'm going to give. I'm going to give Tick two more touchstones. Because obviously we know Venom, but instead of Leos, I raise you Senshi. [01:39:49] Speaker F: True for the youngins. Except I'm the youngin. [01:39:54] Speaker C: Yeah, except you're the youngins. But you are so determined to cook for us. And everybody in Dungeon Meshi has autism. Senshi has autism as well. Because the only, like, Senshi cares about a lot of things, but 90% of Senshi's screen time is cooking. 5% is fan service. The other 5% is figuring out his backstory the last two episodes. Niall is Senshi. Nile is White Senshi. [01:40:28] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:40:31] Speaker A: Okay, we are coming to the end of things. Thank you, everyone who submitted a question. I know we didn't get to all of them, but there are some really great ones that have. I'm. I hope you enjoy our answers. And for our last question, I'm going to kind of combine two that are in here, both from Proxy. It is. Without spoiling. What kind of things are you guys looking forward to and fear the most coming up in season two. And, Aubrey, you've made the party suffer so much already. Exclamation point. What is inspiring your new methods of misery in upcoming seasons? Bloodborne. [01:41:15] Speaker D: Fear. Fear. [01:41:20] Speaker B: Your methods of misery. [01:41:25] Speaker A: I just replay Bloodborne for new ideas. [01:41:30] Speaker B: We're gonna be okay. We're gonna be fine, and everything's gonna work out for us. [01:41:34] Speaker F: Get this Woman away from the computer screen, stat. [01:41:37] Speaker C: Things I'm looking forward to in season two. I want. I want to see Alistair use magic. Magic so bad. Like, all the kinds of magic we've been building up to it. I want it so, so, so bad, actually. I want Lou to straight up fucking murder someone who doesn't deserve it. I want it to be an accident or it could even be on purpose. And then I want you to feel really bad about. I don't want you to be okay with it. In fact, I want you to pay to pray to your God and she doesn't answer. That's how bad I want something. I want that. I want that to happen to Lou because I'm very curious as to what will happen afterwards. Yeah. Yeah. I, like. Like, I already know how the party's gonna handle it. Like, I can guess, but I want to know how Lou's gonna handle it because there's a lot of ways it can go and I just want to make sure that all the bad things happen first. I want Leif and Nadia to meet up. I want that to happen in season two because I want it to be early so we don't have the resources or answers that she might need. So I want Leif to basically struggle. I want Yuri to get. I want Yuri to have a good season. Actually. Actually, I want. I would like Yuri to have a break. So that way when season three comes around and it's nothing but torment, it'll be hilarious. But I want Yuri to have a good time. You know, maybe Yuri, like, I don't know, make some money, like, says, oh, sorry to some people and they forgive him. And. And then you actually are like, super chill for a bit. I don't know, be like. Like, have. Get new shoes, you know, Like, I want good stuff to have Nuri. So when season three bad stuff happens, it hurts more and it makes. It makes. It makes the freshwater taste like copper. Like, I'm ready for that. I want. I want Moth mom to find more information about her family, please. That's me asking at this point. And Niall. I want Niall to make a friend that's outside of the apartment party. [01:44:04] Speaker F: Impossible. Absolutely not. [01:44:05] Speaker C: It's an impossible challenge. But I would like you to find, like, I want if you're. If you're Leos, I want you to find a freak like Kaburu really badly. [01:44:15] Speaker F: Can I make a teaser statement? I. I do have a doctor that's a friend. I do have a doctor. I have a medical professional that Aubry. I'm not letting you forget about. [01:44:26] Speaker C: I just forgot about that. I just want. And I just want you to have an NPC friend. Like that they are you your like. No. I don't know. Fuck the doctor and whoever that is. It's. I mean like another NPC that becomes your friend. Yes. Not a Prius. Not someone that you're like, I made this friend. That's my friend. No, no, no, no. Like fucking one of Yuri's exes. You just somehow are their friend. Like we meet them and then you're both are like so. So cooking. [01:44:56] Speaker D: I think that would be very fun. [01:44:58] Speaker F: I'll we make more autistic NPCs and this will be doable. [01:45:01] Speaker A: Okay, well, you meet too. [01:45:07] Speaker F: Aubrey's like Googling freshly how to play autism. The list just says they get along with other autistic people really quickly. [01:45:14] Speaker C: Yeah, those are my wants. No, I got one more want. [01:45:20] Speaker F: Actually. [01:45:20] Speaker C: I want more tyrant shit. Actually, I've made a headcanon of what the tyrant sounds like. And so I would like the tyrant to do more things. [01:45:30] Speaker G: Does anyone else imagine the tyrant as the moon from Majora's Mask? [01:45:35] Speaker F: No, but now that you said it. [01:45:36] Speaker D: Visually that you're cooking fear instead of three days we have redacted. [01:45:47] Speaker F: It's just going really slowly. It's fine. [01:45:50] Speaker D: I want to see more messy gays. Specifically the two messy gays. I want some backstory plop beats that I'm keeping very secret even for most of you to come up. I want to see moth mob just like have to beat up 17 like grown adult men without even blinking. I want to see Schism and Alistair get along. Not Nile and Alistair. Schism and Nile, Alistair. I want Lou to be scary. I want Lou to be scary for redacted reasons. Also. I just want more of my exes to come up because I have this rollable table for something. Maybe you'll see some of them. I want to see more of them though. I want Yurido to reap the consequences of their actions. [01:47:08] Speaker G: I want to know what's going on with the wizard Tower. I did not see the wizard tower coming and I'm very excited. I also want to see Nile, Schism and. And Alastor. Like I can see that trio. [01:47:27] Speaker F: I want Skizm and Alistair to be so friends down. Now that Dusty has brought it up, I'm like, that would be so fun. [01:47:32] Speaker B: It would be very fun. [01:47:34] Speaker G: What was. There was one more thing. Oh, yes. I want revenge on the Scriabins. It's very personal. Just because I really like the name. [01:47:52] Speaker E: I Also want Alastor to get revenge on the Scriabins. And I want some social stuff like parties or infiltration or social intrigue. [01:48:12] Speaker B: I mean, I'm already getting everything I want, so. [01:48:16] Speaker D: But what is it? No, actually, now you said. [01:48:19] Speaker B: I can't say. I can't say because we've already recorded it or we're about to. One of the two. We're either about to record it or we already have. I would like a conversation to happen. I would like three conversations to happen, actually, two of which have. One of which might be about to. Uh huh huh. Probably not tonight. I know it's not tonight because I am more concerned about other things, but maybe soon. And I would like certain things that are happening tonight to go well. I. I want that to be resolved in a pleasant and positive manner. But no, I just. I also second, I want. I want to throw the commoners into Noble World. I want them to have to be at like a fancy soiree and figure it out. I want that. I think that'd be fun. That'd be very fun. And I. Yeah, that's. I mean, that's all the big stuff. That's the stuff that matters. I think I also want things to go badly for Lou. So, you know. [01:49:38] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, of course. You know. I'm very excited for many of the season two things. I've teased it a little bit in tweets and in the season, but there is a Rebellion system that I have adapted from an older version of Pathfinder. Thankfully, the show Find the Path did a kind of a more fateful two one E's two E adaption because it itself has a level thing, which I stripped it back and tried to make it a little bit more simple. But I'm very excited because it's a thing I'd been workshopping for a really long time, and I was like, I want to see this in action. I want to use this in action. I want to let you all build your own rebellion. And I'm very excited that that's going to be a part of season two and beyond. But yeah, I hope you enjoyed our season one talk back and join us next week for the start of season two. It's going to be fun. We'll see you all later.
