The description of her fears in the nightmare forest. Being immortal. Everyone dying. Being a divination wizard. But not being able to stop time killing everyone. Fuck. Me.

The reveal about that the girl at the party being Adaine's sister is one of the best moments of my life. I still get giddy every time.

The scene where weakened and tortured Aelwyn is trying to cast a ward around Adaine, makes me fucking sob.

I really like that we got a forgiveness arc with aelwyn but adaine still got to murder her dad and have everyone be super happy for her. I feel like a lot of stories go too hard on the forgive and forget angle when they do stuff about abuse and toxic people. I love a good complicated relationship with nuanced themes of empathy and redemption, but I also love the sheer childlike joy of a man who treated you like shit all your life being punched so hard he dies while everyone cheers

It's because Aelwyn was a child raised by genuinely fucked up adults and Angwyn was one of said fucked up adults. Being raised in a bad environment and not having the power or life stability to change that doesn't make you a bad person, and so Aelwyn truly did deserve a second chance to be a person outside of the bubble she lived in. Angwyn could just kinda not be so much of a loyalist that he'd KILL HIS OWN CHILD, but he chose death.

Aelwyn essentially responded to the same circumstances as Adaine in a different way. Angwyn and Arianwen made a choice, Aelwyn and Adaine were just trying to survive. Throughout their childhood, Aelwyn unfortunately learned that self-preservation came at the cost of her sister but if she was in a better situation, she likely would have treated Adaine differently. She deserves a chance to prove herself. Angwyn and Arianwen did this to them, and can die in a fire 😊😊

This might be a bit morbid but the scene in which Adaine killed her father is so awesome. The emotional build up to her all the way to her using the fist, perfectly saving that 4 for the save. That entire small battle is so cinematic, like just imagine the spell being activated from her father, the counter, the dispell the lightning bolt, the 20 foot sprint and the fucking punch of all punches.

tbh it’s exactly what the spell was made for, which makes it all the sweeter. Like, Brennan gave Adaine the spell b/c she kept trying to punch her sister with her -2 strength all through freshman year, and I think Ayda says something like “you have a lot of rage in you that I think you’d like to physically act on” when she gives the spell. To one-shot her father? Her abuser and a big source of her rage after coming to terms with the fact that Aelywn was abused too, just in a different way? Honestly you’re so right, the scene is so cinematic and poetic-the way that Adaine specifically uses a divination skill to be able to one-shot her dad… okay, I’m just rambling now, this is all obvious but she’s my favorite character and I just love the scene.

Working in a retirement home for the past few years, this tower was painful to watch. Brennan portrayed the confusion and fear that comes with loss of memory so well

Man, 2:23:34 is HEARTBREAKING Aelwyn finally started to connect with her sister without fear of their parents, FINALLY able to care for her… and Adaine dies right in front of her. She’s an abjuration wizard, and she couldn’t protect her little sister. Now she’s gone (Except she doesn’t stay gone, obviously!)

My God, I love how invested in EVERYTHING Lou always is.

The fact that I get so immersed in this as a story and can just see the whole thing played out in my head speaks volumes to Brennan as a DM and Siobhan as a player, well done. The idea of improvising such an incredible character development just blows my mind

Jawbone is the best, he helped Adaine with her panic attack condition, he helped Ragh come out of the closet and be open about being gay, and now he took in Aelwyn since both the sisters' parents are dead now (one killed by the Nightmare King and the other killed by Adaine's "Furious Fist") and is helping the sisters reconnect and become family again.

1:05:20 is one of my favorite parts of this. It's such a small gesture. Aelwyn, at that point, hasn't really begun repairing her relationship with Adaine. Sure, she's had time to sit and stew, but for all Aelwyn knows, Adaine could think that Aelwyn deserves what she's been through. For all she knows, Adaine hates her. Nonetheless, she refuses to divulge anything about where Adaine is. Even when she's been tortured for nearly a year. Even when Adaine is standing right in front of her and Aelwyn hasn't even seen Adaine's shushing movement. Even battered and broken and terrified, even though she's not been able to show it before, Aelwyn does love her baby sister.

I never thought I would get so invested in Aelwyn's character but it was so nuanced and her relationship with Adaine just evolved. Loved every minute!

1:23:23 is my favorite scene it showed that even though Aelwyn had a complicated relationship with adaine she knew that adaine was the only person to see through her and see her as her

GOD the "She's a baby" part made me WEEP. I was already tearing up when Adaine said she would go along with whatever Aelwyn chooses but fuckin...

I have the impression of two things. The moment Adaine saw what they'd done to Aeylwyn, she (and Siobhan) was completely disarmed. And then the moment she started repeating their conversation, *that* was the moment Adaine was resolved to save her sister, directing unconditional love toward her. The bits before her mind is restored, are so painful and tragic, and Adaine saying she was going to take care of her now. Fucking kill me.

When Aelwyn and Adaine are talking in the hot tub, after Adaine frees her mind, there was a moment when if Aelwyn had been more vulnerable, and willing to address their shared trauma, Aelwyn may not have left. What happened was Adaine cast hideous laughter on her. Now...

I think Arianwen probably really believed that she would stick up for Adaine if she could but she just couldn't because of Angwyn and that was what was stopping her. But when she had the power to choose if she stood with Adaine or not, she just pushed right through and continued rationalizing her horrible behavior and telling herself it was the right thing to do. I think the exchange at 1:48:22 really shows that at this late stage she STILL believes she's on the right side, and that she's done everything right as a parent, and that the loving thing to do is to convince Adaine to join them, and that any means necessary to do that are valid. Her words on their surface really do seem sympathetic even then, and she might even believe them, but her actions when she was given the power to make choices really show who she is. Contrast that with Aelwyn who was verbally cruel and belittling to Adaine and always deferred to their parents at Adaine's expense... but when given the power to either help Adaine or desert her, she chose to have her back, even at her own expense.
