Yoooooo, spolier..... Don't read ...... if you aint know. I might be late to the game.... but Steele casts Modify Memory on Ame.
"for campaign 2 I'll play a little gremlin" pfft bwahahahaha. Lou can't help but play the most smouldering hot heartthrob men on this show
Oh the Fox would be a hedge mage The hedgiest of mages
I love that literally no one said the words fanfic or smut in this chat 😂 But we all know that’s what’s under discussion
Game Changer????
honey balenciaga lmfaoooooo AABRIA!!
Here to also say: holy shit the Sea-Lous.
Right!! I just came back from double checking the episode! Crazy!
Wild listening to the end of this after the GameChanger episode
the genesis of the sea-lou is truly something to behold
Lou insinuating Kingston Brown is not extremely hot
seeing this after gamechanger one year later... holy shit
I would like a lore dump about the witch of the watching fire please Brennan and Erika.
“THE BEACONS ARE LIT!”
This post “one year later” is CRAZY
Here too?? GC has blown my mind with this most recent bit, seeing it in real time but having no idea until your looking at it in hindsight is WILD
It’s the Sea-Lou!!
it took lou 4 weeks exactly
You goddamn lunatic this was amazing
Who else is back here after GC?
the quickness that Lou got these jetskis….impressive
My partner, who doesn’t (yet) listen to WBN, was so startled and confused when I yelped “omg it’s THE JETSKIS!”
i believe Suvy’s familiar would be a sea otter because of her sleeping habit of grabbing Eoursolons (?) fur 🦦🦦
Human fox is basically Archer... From Archer
Can we get Grandma Wren’s rhyme? I’m sure it’s very lovely
i think we already heard it in a situation before all the other rhymes! but i don’t remember where :((
Ame going to go dark, justs know it. She kinda terrifiedme this ep.
As a 70s baby who saw Romancing the stone the first time Lou's plot summary is worth the price of admission
Lol he was reading the movie description online
Tbh hearing Aabria occasionally squeak in the background is so reaffirming that we're all in these feels together
No no. That “hanging with Bradley cooper” Venn diagram got me directly and I love you for it
What I learned from this episode is that Grandma Wren is the Queen Diva, Divaest of them all~ 😌
Okay so i can't explain Why, but suvi's familiar being a rabbit solves a very specific problem ive had for abt a year now for a project and that feels Great. Aight! Cryptic ruvi Out !!
I love that Erika was so suspicious of Silver immediately upon mentioning him. That's best friend vibe for sure.
Are you no longer doing transcripts for the Fireside Chats?
Can I just say how much I enjoy these firesides? I feel like I'm sitting on facetime laughing with my pals!
Is it odd that I’m so committed to the bit that I get disappointed when Lou said he “isn’t going to be on the next episode”. My brain has fully separated Lou and his special guest stand ins.
Sorry, but I'm a inveterate worried older parent... be careful on those! Older Jet-Skis are less stable then the newer kind.
Hot boy winter on those skis!
(1) I need to curséd link, what is the context here and what am I missing and (2) is the fox with human eyes just a red fox? Is there another kind?
https://archiveofourown.org/works/49423960/chapters/124728100#workskin Probably this
I really need a meme of Lou's "It's funnyyyyy."
Honestly Abriya does this too. 90% of times she says “it was so fun” it was raw and horrifying 😂
OK, the witches rhyme had one for all the other witches, but what is the one for the Witch of the World's Heart? The one the other apprentices would have heard.
I don't have it quite right, but it was a poem on Grandma Wren's mantelpiece: "With open hands and smiling face, A home of homes would all embrace."
Hanging with Bradley Cooper lmao Aabria. I'm in that diagram
Lol. Me too! I cackled.
What do they MEAN it would be sad to be on a JetSki by yourself?? It would be funny
Now he doesn't have to walk the coasts, he can ski
The idea of The Stranger coming back after that year and a day and doing a death drop... *chef's kiss*. I loved this talkback; I hope Lou can save Brennan!
Brennan escaped captivity again
The real question: where is the picture of the fox, hawk/eagle, and bunny?
Google "fox eagle rabbit" and you will get it from every angle
Drawing from his history with honey, can Eursulon's familiar be "bees"? That's a winged animal of sorts, and a hive mind counts as one, right? 🐝🐝🐝
It's pronounced "bomb-bar-dee-ay" 🚤
There is a reason things like jetskis and old upright pianos are free. Moving them being a big one, but the potential morass of a project they are likely to be also. That said, hope it's educational and pays off! (Signed: a recovering (?) project addict)
Loved the convo about Eursulon's "consumption" because honestly, yeah, it's like... a fey thing. The revelry. Mortals getting swept into parties with endless flowing wine and dancing, blinding fairy lights and laughter--- but the mortal realm doesn't really allow for that, because what comes up has to come down outside of the Otherworld. And that sort of thing very specifically doesn't usually work out for mortals, because usually they either dance til they die or non-fairy food tastes like ash and they no longer want to eat and end up wasting away... so it's very interesting to explore what happens to a sidhe/spirit, especially one whose family legacy is about "living well," having that dicotomy that starts from the very beginning with "your honey is quiet."
Not to mention how closely food is associated with ideas of family & home & love, and how Eursulon like, literally may not ever be able to recapture the flavors of his home and family and.... ughhhh, I'm having feelings about this now.
Romancing the Stone should be about a bard attempting to seduce a comely earth elemental
And in that note, if Lou stopped Brennan from romancing the Stone, would that mean he rock blocked him? 🤔
yes no eagle had me CACKLING at work
We know everyone is warn for Eursalons form, but has it been confirmed if he would like to do the sex, and if so, with who?
He had somebody else's underwear in his barn early on, and prior to breaking the curse he told Ame and Suvi he had had sex, but I'm not sure we have confirmation of with whom.
i died laughing the entire yes/no eagle segment, one of the alternate universe familiars of all time
If the stranger is honey balenciaga then Mirrara is Dominique Jackson
Human Fox gives Spike from cowboy bebop for me
Lou’s Yes/No bald eagle familiar reminds me of Saga’s Lying Cat
Lou Wilson you are the coolest person ever for seeing two free sea-dos and going "yeah i can fix them" These fireside chats are so delightful, thank you all 💖💕
I think this was my favourite fireside yet!
Lou - if you do renovate those sea-doos, _please_ tiktok the process!! That would make an awesome series.
Except Lou has played an old guy on NADDpod campaign 2 and Jabari was still way too hot.
“and post boner, OR bonee!” evokes trans Silver for me, evokes the imagery of wizards of the citadel who are trans having the gnarliest most beautiful gender-affirmation scars
😭😭😭 I love this
Gramma Wren "I am leaving you with a very big, very important job. To help you in this I give you... My Rolodex"
I feel like Erika and Lou did not give “uroboromance” the hype it deserved
"Who among us hasn't bone-downed during grief." Asexuals: *leave the group chat*
despite the vast and unknowable expanse that is my imagination, somehow the only image I can conjure of the boys on seadoos for The Great Panama Escape is Lou wearing normal beachwear, perhaps a jauntily askew safari hat, and Brennan wearing a button-down shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows
Hahahahahaha no. Ame lacks the guile and self interest to be a fox. Ame-as-familiar is a raccoon. Just as much of a handful as the fox but in a completely different way. If Suvi was a witch her familiar would be a very friendly pug. However, as a wizard, her familiar would be a elderly imp with full disapproving teacher vibes, that encourages her to pursue power at the expense of all else. Wizard familiars are very different to witch familiars. Ursulon's "familiar" will be a sequence of birds that keep flying off because they are just actual birds.
Oh! Not a racoon - a racoon dog! A tanuki!
After hearing about the different witch covens I really hope that the Witch of the Woodland Green, Hakea, was something like the “blackforager” on Instagram (she is amazing please check her out). But her videos also kinda give me Ame vibes because she is so happy, delightful, and a bit subversive about “modern living.” Either way I’m super down for super nature witch times however they come.
I absolutely love that headcanon!!
Oh good, we are acknowledging the fact that Brennan full on nailed the parental role of Ren and I don't have to go back and say that he's 💯 built for being a parent - b/c it felt bloody awkward to say it as a listener and not a player
The idea of sitting on a water motorcycle that goes 50mph in THE OCEAN OUTSIDE OF LA, WHICH CONTAINS SHARKS is terrifying to me. But more power to Lou!
Unoffical Subtitle: "Those Good Horny Vibes"
So, anyone else see the Eagle familiar as just Eursulon walking around talking to a monosyllabic Sam the Eagle from The Muppets? … no? Just me?
Y’all woke up one morning and said “let’s make the only dnd actual play that matters”
Hanging with Bradley Cooper *Looks at the camera in A Star is Born*
As a millennial named Craig, it was shocking to hear another one of us being able to host the fireside next time!! Good luck on your quest Lou!
I am so invested in what will hopefully become the Lou and the Jet ski revival saga.
Big thanks to Lou Wilson for the real solid he's doing all the girlies.
Also, Ursalon as a Paladin deserves Charisma front and center art.
When ursalon gets his horse, what is it going to look like?
How are there people who have not seen Michael Douglas & Kathleen Turner's sizzling on screen romance? They burned bales of cannabis for warmth!
Immediately went to find the Will Gallows fics 🤸🏻♂️
GIVE US THE ARRRRT
WHERE IS THE ART
ART GIVE 😩
Give us the art!!!
WHERE is the art ‼️‼️
NOW BRENNAN IS IN PANAMA TOO???? God damnit, just cross the damn border and let me meet you!!!!!
I need ballroom music when ever "The Stranger" is mention or arrives. I NEED IT!
"As we've established, I guess, supposedly, it wasn't funny." I adore the relitigating of this failed bit. XD
The "Sea-Two" joke would have done numbers on NADDPOD. Aabria just had the wrong audience.
Search Eursalon art and in his glamor form is definitely hot boi
But I think the tummy one is soo hot!
New art where??? When??? I gotta have it
yea i am looking for the same need to see hot ursalan
"Yes"
Ah yes my favorite children's book "Goodnight Lou"
Starting hot with Romancing the Stone. I was yelling at you all in my kitchen as you blundered your way through describing it and trying to remember Michael Douglas is the guy in it. Very fun, great movie! One of my favorites! ❤️
Would it ever be possible to release minimally/unedited episodes?
WHY?
Implying that Fabian is "sexy as hell" and Kingston isn't is the most I've ever disagreed with Lou
Is Lou actually Mobius?
TIBETAN FOX DEEPLY UNCOMFORTABLE TO VIEW
looks like the wolf character from double fine's broken age
Cannot wait to see this mystical art some day
So hearing Lou and Aabria talk about their potential familiar, I immediately thought Lous should represent his admiration for Sir Currin and himself as a wild one. And my first thought was Harpy Eagle. It's an eagle with a crown, and it's MASSIVE.
Listen, the depths of my sadness halfway through Ame’s memories with Grandma Wren… the legitimate love and grief I felt in knowing her better while also knowing that we can’t go back to visit her NOW
*shakes fist at The Panamanian Gentleman himself*
Everyone out here lookin' for the hot Eursulon Arc 2 art drop. Ey.
Where is this art?!?!
Release the slut cut!
Where did this character art drop? 👀
Release the slut cut!!!!!
the stranger played by honey balenciaga i’m cryingggg i love you all so much 😭🫶
That took me all the way out
Release the slut cut!
Ame's childhood is not sad it's FUNNY, FUNNY
If this is fireside for episode 15 then where is episode 15
