I love how Zac started this character off in the first episode as this toxic captain who’s quick to blame everyone but himself before hitting us with the fact that Skipper is actually the parasite that attacks him. The fact that a brain parasite is more chill and nice than the original person it was hosting just adds more to the hilarity as well as the chemistry between these characters. It’s such a good move.

Til we find out that Norman's personality is a result of the trauma of witnessing his superior killing dozens of cadets with poisoned champagne, and then putting him through memory alteration to make him forget about it, followed by being framed for that tragedy he can no longer remember as well as the murders of the Sisters of the Cosmic Veil (whom Skip outs as a bunch of con artists).

" I got my proldiers license right here " is one of the best dimension 20 moments for me. Sherif is being subtly threatening and good old brain slug skip, arms crossed, says fuck this guy, ballet kicks him in the neck and shoots him with a gun boot. So badass lol

My favorite is that on some of Skip's smiles, the Dropout captions say "*audible smile*".

I cannot love Skip any more. He's just a little slug man who didn't get to see the world. The first couple of episodes where he still struggles with language just lay me out because everyone else is working so well with it, especially Brennan with the NPCs. People just accept that Norman speaks weirdly but they roll with it. Such fun.

skip is probably my favorite of zac’s characters in d20. it plays to all his strengths. it’s ricky and gorgug’s goofiness, himboness; it’s lapin’s high status, calculating nature, and “i didn’t ask for this” vibes; it’s cumulus’ martial prowess and somewhat lack of/disregard for social cues; it’s zac’s own less-is-more improv style and d&d system mastery. it’s all of it!! i also adore that skip can really validly be read as queer by this point in the season. it doesn’t come up a ton but when it does, boy does that headcanon fit perfectly and add so much to the story. every single one of zac’s characters is wonderful, hilarious, and integral to their campaigns but. starstruck and skip have really allowed zac to SHINE. tldr skip supremacy thank you for coming to my ted talk

I’m glad Norman skip Takamori slowly became more comprehensible as the story went on. His first words sounded like his mouth was filled with marshmallows 😂

I simultaneously love and hate the fact, that Skip has an audible smile.

i know that this video is about skip and skip is the best but murph's deeply confused r-right on fuckin slays me every time i hear it

I love that Brennan and Zac built a Paul-Atreides-style space prince who doesn't want to be a leader but is thrust into the deep political ramifcations of the universe who is a LITERAL worm, such gorgeous non-humanoid-centrism
