After seeing an article about dark urge and how special it is I decided to give it a shot. I also read a comment on here saying romance between Shadowheart and Seluna's cleric MC is great. So I decided to combine those two things for my 3rd playthrough! ( i have yet to experience act 2 btw...think I have a problem)

I made a Seldarine drow with the idea being that she used to be bloodthirsty Lolth sworn but eventually she found Seluna and became her cleric, now she's trying to be better. I thought that worked well with heroic dark urge story I wanted and I get to experience the enemies to lovers relationship with shadowheart. Don't know if the way the story will unravel will validate my headcanoned backstory for her but so far I'm quite enjoying it.

This is also the first playthrough where I met Timber the squirrel, I didn't know he was in the game before this playthrough, I was kinda excited to meet him...yeah.

I can never ever predict where this show will go next, it's insane how nothing ever proceeds in a way that I expect and it also never feels unnecessarily subversive, so good! Even though it's supposed to be a very old-school style fantasy, it's such a fresh story.

Not in a thousand years would I've thought that the solution to the Falin problem would be to eat her lol, it is very fitting I suppose. Wonder why they couldn't just ask dungeon master to revert Falin and Izu to their human selves after defeating him? Maybe that'll be answered later in the story.

Wonderful season, glad they've already announced season 2, can't wait!

you are wrong . She is not just making mean tweets, she is doing very real damage to queer people and women irl.

I like it more than Last of Us personally.

I think she is just kinda indifferent, she doesn't mind being stuck in prison because 2-3 years mean nothing to her.

Why do all the shots of the characters taking off/putting on a piece of clothing look so noticeably good in this anime lol

The new elf seems like Frieren from before Frieren's time, veteran adventurer who used to be well known but his era has passed, sort of felt like a mirror into Frieren's future when everyone she knows now has long passed and no one remembers the story of the heroes who defeated the demon lord, kinda sad.

Still feels odd when the elf talk about decades or centuries like it's barely any time at all.

This is such a meme-able image lol "you hearin this shit Doggy#2? Yeah I hear it Doggy#1"

I'm sure I'll eventually grow to like the new elf mage but OMG I hated him so much in this episode! Such an ass! (　｀ー´)

From what I can gather, red dragon was commanded by the mage to find the king, but it looks like the king has been dead forever. The mage seems obsessively attached to the king and that's why he spends all his time in the paintings reliving the past 🤔.

Didn't expect them to actually go back to the surface, wonder how long it'll be before they'll get back this deep and meet Falin again.

That was wild omg! I have never been too into x-men but I've started reading their comics now because of this show, gonna have to check which stories this episode pulled from.

The way they handled Gambit-Rogue-Magneto triangle was so much better than what I expected. Gambit expressing to rogue how he felt without getting angry and understanding why she felt that way for Magneto, which made his death so much more tragic considering he never found out that Rogue ended up turning down Magneto. So well done. This episode was full of really strong, well written moments. Magneto saving that kid, Madelyne meeting Cable, Scott finally cracking, Wolverine telling Jean to go talk to Scott, all of that in such a short runtime and none of it felt unearned. I hope they handle the Scott-Jean-Madelyne stuff as well as they have Rogue stuff. Also Beast blushing was precious lol, really fantastic episode!

The whole sequence of Laios jumping at the mimic, the dramatic cuts to Senshi and Chilchuck's faces to Marcille just casually blowing up the mimic was so funny, I had to rewind and watch it again. This episode felt more lax and fun like older episodes, enjoyed it very much.

I've seen people say how Kabru is the invert of Laios, he's the people expert while Laios is the monster expert, but this episode showed how Laios is plenty good at people too when he feels like it.

Excited to meet the new member, she doesn't seem the most friendly but Senshi's cooking will remedy that before long I'm sure. I was half expecting the mimic to be the new party member until Marcille blew the poor puppy's head clean off, RIP (._.)

In previous episodes it seemed like Shuro's servants were happy and willing but this episode shows that maybe that's not the case. Izutsumi seems to have been forced into servitude, her body modified and weaponized against her will. Certainly doesn't help improve my opinion of Shuro to realize he's a slave owner.

As I expected Senshi's cooking comes to rescue and helps mellow out our new cat friend (　＾▽＾)

The dream rescue was pretty cool, Marcille remembering Laios as a friendly fluffy dog is so cute lol.

So basically,

"Hey guys can you agree not to do union busting stuff? You know the illegal shit?"

ABK "No I don't think I will agree to that"

Fucking ghouls

You know I would do that if for nothing else than just for the sake of variety, but I'm such a coward >.> Just don't have the stomach for it lol. The idea of this messed up person redeeming themselves is appealing to me, I'm not doing 100% "goody two shoes" kinda character but more of a reluctant hero who's still bit of a dick. Maybe I'll start another playthrough where I play the way you're suggesting...I'll never experience act 2 at this rate <.<

Bonus (　＾ω＾)

Yeah I love the way she is portrayed, it's unique. So often in media these seemingly immortal beings behave like regular people, Frieren's seemingly cold demeanor is just a consequence of her being so long lived, it is definitely a very refreshing take on such a character.

Wanted to get this done for pride month...oh well, better late than never I suppose. Happy Pride y'all! :)

Yeah it's really cool how something initially seems not important and later gets elaborated on, nothing ever feels like it came outta nowhere.

Bonus Blade of Miquella fanart (　＾ω＾)

Me everytime it cuts to Sueletta heavy breathing

Anybody else feels like the show is moving really fast? Like I feel like 2 episodes worth of stuff just happened in a single episode, not that I don't love it, I just wish the make up conversation was a bit more drawn out, maybe that's just me being greedy idk 🤷‍♂️.
