Short Rest: Ep. 56: The Sunset Princess

There’s Karn - construct of Urza - and then there is a caírn which is a Celtic style burial mound of rocks and/or earth.

Yes Squee, The Immortal!!

I'm pretty sure ducks also apply Preen Oil to repel water. Love the show.

What’s funny is that Chuy is a nickname for Jesus lol he could have been “chewie” technically

Me and my brother both took the confirmation name Luke after Luke Skywalker. I have to imagine that was a common thing in the Catholic church at the time

As a transgender nonbinary person who ended up choosing the name enby (shorthand for nonbinary) choosing your own name is really cool 😎

My husband is confirmed (ex Catholic) and his confirmation name is Wolfgang. There is a Saint Wolfgang. Which I genuinely thought was a lie for the first few years I knew him

I agree with Emily, in that it's hard to appreciate the cuteness of baby geese when you know they're just annoying adult geese waiting to happen.

Can definitely say, getting to pick your own name fucking rules. I did choose my name based off of Ash Ketchum from pokemon, cause I was a nerdy teen. Also if I had actually been forced to go through being confirmed and not escaped at the last possible minute after doing all the classes I woulda picked Francis.

Just got the 222 like, noice

There is so much pro-duck-team talk in the second minute of this short rest. “Team Mallard all the way”

Ah teenage emotions. I do not miss them. I don't think Murph would make time pass so much that Erlin is middle aged by the time they get back, but as heartbreaking as it would be for Bev, I would hope Erlin would move on.

Bun and….bun….son

Stevie Nicks would definitely be a druid

I am trying to listen but it keeps saying that it failed.

The only upside to Chris Farley's death is he wasn't in Grown Ups or Grown Ups 2. RIP

Squee the immortal goblin from MTG? LOL that little guy is so annoying.

Oooooooo...... Bevvvv...... 😳

There goblins reminded me of the goblins from World of Warcraft who are probably inspired from the MTG

*whispers* I feel very defensive of Daddy Murph because I relate to him....my confirmation name is Margaret :( I'm always team Murph :o

Well I have a small thorn! I thought Hardwon had quite the chemistry with the Autumn Princess and should have totally asked her to dance after getting back with Bev!

We definitely need a "Mean Dungeon Daddy" shirt

Jake quoting northwest passage, "a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones", how Canadian!

I love how Daddy Murph went out of his way to explain how the ship worked and NONE of the Band of Boobs took that as a sign that maybe they should have paid attention. It's the equivalent of playing a video game and entering the room prior to a boss with all of the health potions and upgrades and IGNORING everything and just facing the boss hahahaha.

My rose is definitely daddy’s performance as Terran and that scene. It was so cute!

In Australia, we call the upstairs and downstairs decks verandas

I hate to tell you this but ducks have the same oils that geese do. They’re all just dry, dry birds

Wet Duck all the way babyyyyyy

Has Bev come out to his parents? Cause otherwise if this kiss weighs on him, like it seems like it really is going to, will he be able to talk to his Dad's about it? I would assume his mom probably knows now since Erlin is chilling with her in the material plane and he may have brought it up but Bev Sr. and Balnor definitely dont know right? Although having just Moonshine and Hardwon to confide in might be enough for Bev for now.

#TeamMallard

"I'm fighting for him...He's my personal light." This is a DnD campaign... BUT WHY AM I JEALOUS OF THIS RELATIONSHIP?? LOL I agree with Emily in how the scene with Terran and Bev played out was a lot more interesting and complex. It added a lot more depth to the whole Beverlin thing that I can't believe started out as a joke at this point. Hope that the next time we see Erlin he glows up af. Honestly living for these complicated relationships between characters! Keep em coming!

Squee the Immortal!!!!!!

I listen to the first half of this Short Rest like if Beverly wrote in to a Bahumia version of If I Were You.

Time for some Magic Trivia! Karn was a golem made of Silver, created by the Planeswalker Urza for use in his experiments with time-travel. If you want Karn's book debut, it was in Time Streams.

Magic talk! So Squee is immortal. He was a joke character that was consistently killed off in a South Park Kenny style where he consistently came back to life so he was given immortality. This is reflected in both of his cards Karn I've heard pronounced both (Carn) and (Cairn) though the first is what I have heard most often. Love the show! Thanks for all the work!

Bev can cheat on Erlin and I’ll still think he’s a good boy. Tbh Bev could steal my car and hit me with it and I’ll still think he’s a good boy.

GOD I’M SURE THIS IS FROM A WHILE AGO BUT I CAN’T BELIEVE I MISSED MURPH AND EMILY IN NEW ORLEANS

To add onto what Caldwell said about the Elves. Elves are physically and mentally adults at the same rate as humans, but their aging slows down as soon as they physically reach adulthood. So there aren't any 40 year old elves running around that look and act like 8 years old. What he is referencing is that elves are not culturally considered adults until around 100, and so they are still treated as immature before that. So basically the same way that a lot of elves view humans. This makes sense as a culture when the *middle aged* people around you have 200-300 years of experience, and so in their minds they are thinking "What should I care what this 18 year old thinks? Come back after another 100 years kid and then we will take you seriously."

Caldwell, you did a great job playing a confused teenager in an LDR who is at constant risk of death, just realized he was gay, has no idea when he'll see any of his friends or family (or bf) again, and had less than two days with his bf before they got completely separated, having never actually defined any sort of relationship or boundaries! It was upsettingly believable, and I really felt for him

Wet Duck

Not to be super serious but I have always been a bi male and I had a high school boyfriend and afte highschool we kinda fell off as adults do well recently I met him again at the the mall and I was there with my girlfriend and my ex boyfriend was nice and pleasent but I really could tell he was kinda hurt and listening to this episode totally made me get in my feels in a good way I can't wait to see what happens with Bev anyways it was a great episode this week and a great short rest 😘

Attraction for a stranger can be unpredictable and at times unwanted, especially if you're in a relationship, Bev handled it with poise.

I loved this episode and the short rest. The music for the owlbear scene was so good, as was every other part of that scene. The mtg goblin influence was also very fun (Caldwell was right that Squee becomes immortal btw, but not till well after Exodus).

I’m not mad at Caldwell for his decision, I just got stressed out because I had gay stuff in another DnD podcast happen and I’m happy and overwhelmed with gay content. Also bisexual Erlin is great, it’s always good to bisexual characters I can relate to. Murph and Caldwell giving me the gay content I wanted and needed.

1 vote for bisexual Erlin 🤣🤣
