That quote made me laugh so hard just by itself being funny, but also because Laura, as usual, seems completely astonished by what she said... Or more like what Jester's soul inhabiting her body said... LOLOL
@@Luboffin I loved Matt's reactions throughout! The players did so much interacting that he got to sit back and enjoy a lot. That face he made when Jester told Ashton to shove their face in Fearne's boobs was priceless!
My favorite moment was when a bunch of people were having their two characters talk to each other and then Marisha had Laudna try to talk to Beau and Beau just went, "No," and walked off. 😂
Robbie has been such a joy to watch this campaign and I truly hope he’ll be a part of whatever CR does going forward. He just fits with them so seamlessly and makes it a better story. ❤
About Beau's take on the Hells: I think after her parents abandoning her, losing Tori, and then Molly's death, Beau still fears loss and is slow to form new bonds. Her trash talking was a cover / coping mechanism to avoid getting close to a new group in case they die and she has to deal with that grief. I don't think deep down she actually looks down on them, It's just her flawed way of coping and steeling her heart for the fight ahead. I think if Beau had a more in depth one on one with a character (old or new) who "got" her, all this would've come out and she might let herself bond with the hells
One thing you missed, when Jester started groping Fjord and Marisha made a joke about Henry Crabgrass dying. I was taking a sip of lemonade and almost spat it onto my laptop.
My favorite moment from the episode was Braius telling his backstory. The build up felt like it made sense, and was really grounded. For next episode, I know it is a longshot, but Im hoping Chet custom makes a chair for the Might Nein. In the same style as the murder chair. Awesome video, have a great time Luna!
Oh man, your description of Caleb struck such a chord with me and explains why I love Caleb so much. That abuse and subsequent trauma disguised as humility is incredibly well played by Liam and hits me every time I rewatch C2.
Amazing performance from Liam and Robbie. Honestly one of the best plays of slow burn romance I've watched. And now I think about how heavy this confession is should something happen to one of them before this all ends 😭
I really do think that Dorym moment healed a part of my soul. Both Robbie and Liam showcase how raw and real, and tricky romantic feelings can be and how you can be intimate with someone without doing anything physical. It was just them, cuddled up, and taking everything in each other's spaces before the coming fight🥺 it was so intimate and sweet, I was crying and screaming😭 ALSO WHEN ORYM SAID "This is okay" KILLED ME😭😭😭
such a great, chaotic episode. with so many amazing moments. and dorian and orym finally talked!! everyone's reactions during that scene are fantastic. Marisha climbing on her chair and covering her face the whole time. Laura and Ashley whispering and smiling. Sam's excited wiggle when they start talking (and face breaking on wanting to simply hold him). matt tearing up the whole time. what an episode.
For me, as a die-hard C2 fan, this episode was everything I could ever want. I know it was a mind-fuck for the players, and probably really boring for those who haven't watched all of C2 though. When I started C3, I hadn't watched all of C1 yet, and was really confused at the references. Your videos were the only source I could find that explained all of those, so I didn't feel out of the loop. So even though this video isn't necessary for me, thank you for making it, and helping out those who are looking for further context.
@@ShesAaRebel I agree. I am really surprised you were able to make this video as short as it is. (This is coming from a longtime critter who has seen it all.)
You asked for it: Alabaster Baby (Verse 1) Alabaster baby, you shine so bright Like the moon in the dark, on a velvet night Every step you take is soft and slow Like you're dancing through a dream, don’t let go Your eyes are like a mirror to a world so rare With a gentle heart, you’re floating through the air So fragile but you're standing tall Alabaster baby, you’ve got it all (Chorus) Alabaster baby, pure as snow In a world that’s wild, you’re the calm I know With a touch like silk and a heart of gold Alabaster baby, never grow cold Alabaster baby, never grow old (Verse 2) Your voice is like a whisper on the breeze Every word you say puts my mind at ease You’ve been carved by time, but you still don’t crack Grace and beauty, there's nothing that you lack You move like the waves on a quiet sea With a soul so deep, wild and free I could spend forever lost in your glow Alabaster baby, don’t ever let go (Chorus) Alabaster baby, pure as snow In a world that’s wild, you’re the calm I know With a touch like silk and a heart of gold Alabaster baby, never grow cold Alabaster baby, never grow old (Bridge) And even when the world gets dark and rough You stand tall, you’re more than enough With a love that never fades away Alabaster baby, here to stay (Chorus) Alabaster baby, pure as snow In a world that’s wild, you’re the calm I know With a touch like silk and a heart of gold Alabaster baby, never grow cold Alabaster baby, never grow old (Outro) Alabaster baby, you’ll always shine In this heart of mine, you’re frozen in time Alabaster baby, you’re my light Stay forever, through the darkest night
I was squealing and exited while watching that whole episode, its 10 pm when the episodes drop on UA-cam in Germany and i was SO LOUD my poor roommates smsnsndns
Probably my other favourite moment would be Laudna torturing Sprinkle at the end, using Mage Hand to stop him from running away and then stuffing him inside Pate's bird house 😂
I've had the thought Orym was gonna sacrifice himself in the final battle long before the FCG sacrifice and i still think that that's Liam's play. Can't wait.
I really like the switch Sam made, but do agree it’s quick and due to time. I think the Asmodeus take was one where he clung onto something like anger and revenge, but when you find light through companionship you go back to your roots again. Caduceus put it best! It was never a devotion, it was an escape. And it’s time to leave when you know it’s time
@@sherrylusk2119 CR1 SPOILER there’s been points where guest stars betray the table as long as it’s tasteful and not killing them, I trust them to trust each other to have fun ! I don’t think Sam will kill someone, maybe steal something, run away or something at worst. I am on your side though, I like the narrative that you cling on to your demons and end up following the light
18:06 Taliesin is so ridiculously good at Caduceus, god. It's stunning how wise he is. I don't think I've ever seen high wisdom / low intellect portrayed so well
Orym's also been closed off because he knows he made a deal with Morrigan. Even if they succeed, he may spend the rest of his life (possibly more) tied to the manor never able to live with those he cares for.
I've no idea where this is going but it seems possible that everyone might die and the whole world could end. There's no plot armor in D&D even for couples about to get married. I suppose they could still get hitched in the afterlife, provided one remains.
I said this on Twitter, but since i don't have Twitter Blue noone saw this but, with the 10 year anniversary shows, the NYCC show is a M9 one shot for Fjord & Jesters Wedding... Now i am guessing that we are going to get a cross over even where the players take over all characters from each previous campaign (including VM), since as a both DM and Entertainment value, it would be incredible unsatisfying to have all that happen on the off screen. So my question is... with the oneshot being a year away, what if the M9 TPK, what is the contingency plan for that?
Its so interesting to see taliesin switch between, Ashton "the gods havent done shit for me" greymoore and cadeuceus "the gods work in mysterious ways" clay
Ok, this has been bugging me for a while. If Bell’s Hells pull of freeing Predathos who then chases away the gods ,because they haven’t told anyone their plans they are going to be seen by most of Exandria as traitors to the cause and become the bad guys in history. They really haven’t thought this through.
As a grown 34 year old person, I was just squealing and hugging my plushie with happy tears during Dorain and Orym's conversation! Finally, they talked! And it was a wonderful moment, so tender. I really hope they'll get time to keep exploring their relationship after all of this is over.
The funny thing is, Caleb saying turning into a goldfish would help is kind of correct, bc he knows if physics of the world was consistent, Kiki couldnt have died, since the 20d6 that kiki would hit could not have killed her (it was just matt forgetting the rules and accidentally bringing us the best scene in the show, lmao)
I don't think Matt has ever indicated in game that he's set a limit to how much damage you can take from falling. It would seem fake if all characters of a certain level could never die from falling.
@@Dunybrook He did, based on capping it in the past when keyleth used fall damage offensively and defensively in the past. So in world, the character would know that dropping something from an airship as a nonflying beast didnt kill it, allowing it to come back after them later, and she knows she dropped as the keyteor before and knows how much damage that did to her. Like Keyleth was correct when she said "we're practically gods" at that level you literally could drop from that high. Also if you're using real world physics, turning into a goldfish also would have saved her, because terminal velocity of a goldfish is much less than a person, and the air friction would have stopped her, like a parachute.
Thanks for this. It was great to see the players having so much fun but there really wasn't anything in this episode for people (like me) who didn't watch C2. I couldn't finish it but maybe I'll go back and try again.
Sam has frequently leaned into trolling the cast through his decisions rather than servicing the story. But he also makes some of the best decisions for the story that have ever been made by the cast (SPOILER ALERT: FCG's sacrifice...a moment I will never forget). His creativity has ups and downs but I will gladly still gladly take it.
I really enjoy these recaps a lot, but I would love to see more conspiracy theories, both from you and from people on Discord or in the comments, even if it’s just 2 minutes long, that would be enough.
Yeah I understand! I tend to get more time to talk about that stuff on stream. Unfortunately though we’re kind of at the point where there isn’t always new stuff to theorise about and the major questions I feel I’ve hashed over my theories a bunch already. Hopefully the next few episodes we’ll get some juicy lore drops!
Am i the only one that noticed that the toys Caleb put out were a cat (obviously) a t-rex and a gorilla, thus implying that Chetney inspired his go to polymorph forms.
I have to admit I’ve never vibed with BH like I did with the Mighty Nein, and I’ve never really been able to articulate why. Having the Nein return in this episode and the one-shot a few months ago showed me that it’s more the characters than anything else that’s left me feeling disconnected from C3. (And don’t get me wrong. I still love the show. And I *love* some of BH. But the Nein are my CR party.)
Clearly, Orym has heard a slightly adjusted telling of the fish story from Keyleth, and was told about how she ingeniously saved herself from falling that far XD
In 2014 rules, changing into something very hardy like a bear would stop you from dying because the HP goes over your own and acts as a shield. The new rules wouldn't work this way but Liam has the right idea. Also the most she should of taken was 120, you can't get more than 20d6
Well ever since the EXU Dorian gravitated around Orym. Their friendship and little moments were more subtle but if you go back do C3 ep1 you will notice how Doriam is always focused on the leads (for battle and other decisions) Orym gives.
I made a LONG list of it, if it helps? If you have time to read all of it, of course. There's more but these ones are the most notable for me. EXU: - Robbie: 'I don't know why I keep looking at Orym, so I'm going to look over at Orym.' (Episode 1) - Liam: "Orym shoots Dorian the kind of look that a spouse gives to a spouse." (Episode 3) - Parts where Orym can't seem to help but watch Dorian (Episode 5, Episode 6) - Dorian: 'As he typically is, Orym's right.' (Episode 5) - Conflict between Orym and Dorian about the crown of the spider queen, and Dorian letting it go because he cares more about Orym (Episode 5) - Dorian always looking out for Orym and feels bad not being able to help him: "And I'm going to give Orym a wistful look as I leave, because I feel fucking bad about bailing [from the battle]" (Episode 6) - Before separating ways with the EXU crew, Dorian decided to follow Orym's lead: "I look to Orym like I always have for direction, and see if I'll follow." (Episode 8) --- C3: - Dorian always looking at Orym for guidance / leadership: "In any sort of conflict, first things first: I'm going to look straight to Orym" (C3E1) // "You're the leader." (C3E1) - Dorian always looking out for Orym even in battle. Dorian: "No debts between us." [After Orym thanks him for saving him] (C3E3) - The way Orym worries about Dorian. Liam: "as soon as Dorian gets back, Orym untenses his hand and realizes how hard he's been gripping Sending Stone." (C3E6) - Liam: "As he bends down a blue flower blooms out of Orym's hand and is now tucked into Dorian's hair." (C3E6) - Orym being protective of Dorian: " It's simple, I'm Orym. I'm Dorian's friend." [As Liam does the 'I'm watching you' gesture at Chetney for being mean to Dorian] (C3 E8) // "Orym is scanning the room, too, for anyone who might be eyeballing Dorian, just because of the way Artana Voe sized him up for looking similar." (C3E13) - Dorian: "God, I just want to touch Orym." (C3E3) - The way Dorian wants Orym by his side: "Orym, you said you'd like to stay with me. Would you?" (C3E12) // The same with Orym: "I'll be with Dorian." (C3E12) - The way both of them highly regard each other. / Orym: "Dorian has talked us out of 20 different situations." // Dorian: "There is no one more capable or qualified to hold onto this than Orym." (C3E12) - Kissing Orym's forehead (C3E14) - All of Orym's sending stone messages for Dorian while they're apart. And Orym using the stone as comfort when it stopped working for a while. - The way Orym misses Dorian after he left: "I was about to say that it was like having Dorian around [when Imogen turned blue] (C3E18) // "I think of our friend who we said goodbye to a few days ago." [After Orym finds the Chromatic Rose] (C3E17) //"Hey, friend. Missing you here. Could really use your special brand of creative optimism right now. Don't know where you are. Hope you're happy." (C3E31) // "I really miss Dorian, and sometimes I think that's okay, and sometimes I think it isn't! (C3E79) - Orym reaching for the sending stone before falling from Otohan's blade. "As it stabs, you see Orym's hand which was reaching into his belt, and the blue sending stone goes, bump-bump, onto the ground." (C3E33) - Orym's distraught that Dorian didn't answer when the sending stone started working again. (Orym: "Why do you think he didn't answer? / Imogen: "The stone?" / Orym: "Dorian. He didn't answer." (C3E86) Orym tackling Dorian for a hug upon his return (C3E93) Orym: "You remember when I held a blade to your chest and told you not to put that crown on your head? I think about that every day." // Dorian: "Every step of the way, I've thought about you." (C3E95) Dorian telling Orym that it's okay to rely on them and believe they could make it; that he doesn't have to save everyone. (Orym: "I tried to reach out a lot, but you still got me through. // Dorian: "I wouldn't be here without you, and now, I'm here with you." (C3E95) "Orym: In the last 10 or 15 minutes before falling asleep, he goes back to just watching Dorian sleep, he goes back to just watching Dorian sleep, which is something that he's done for a very, for a long time." (C3E104) "Liam: But I think because of how integral the relationships between fathers and sons are to Orym and his history and how much he loves Dorian-" (C3E105) Liam: "Orym totally blue screens." [After Dorian's speech and summoning his mount] (C3E105) "Orym: (to the Raven Queen) Do you ever miss your mortality? It's pretty great-[Liam looks to Robbie and shares a smile with him]-living a lifetime." (C3E109) Dorian: "I think you can smite them all, but I would say that is a plan, but if there's anyone among them who could stand up against your mighty deceit, it's probably that little man's strength and honor. // "I do think he is the best of us and I think he leads us in a way he doesn't know. " (C3E110)
@@Xaychedelic wow! Amazing! I didn't get to finish EXU so maybe it didn't click for me like others. But then again I've always had this issue even for myself where I miss the signs coming at me - I literally thought it was best friendship. Thank you so so much 🙏🏽
@@rjbramirez I completely understand. There's a compilation of "Dorym" (their ship name) that have a lot (its an hour long) of cute moments that u can watch to get how their slowburn came to that """"suden"""" passionate confession.
i see Braius more as Teenager that lashing and hating his parents just because they disapoint him and he discover they werent perfect individuals. and im not saying thats not deep, on the contrary i think we center so much in the idea of him being this example people wrong by the gods, that we forget that he probably will give everything to just be we people that acept him, is just the situation that the lord of lies give hims that posibility the easy way. i think Cadecius say it perfectly, what let him down was the people, his belives never change, was the people he learn them from that hurt him. all of this is just my opinion, and probably sam see it differently, but i belive the Briaus pre Jester an Nott is the one that it actually with the BH rigth now he just put this mask of loving the betrayers because he want to make it hurt the people that disapont him
"He's a shell of a man" is my favourite quote from this episode 😝 - what's yours?
I know we've heard it a million times but Laudna's "she is very capable" felt important in this episode
My favorite quote was jester humming girl from Ipanema in Imogens head!😅
Ashley had both my favorites, Yasha's deadpan "This is -- How fun" and Fearne's chuckling "Good luck" in reaction to the Weave Mind
I think mine is when they were joking about Beau and Yasha seeing Imogen and Laudna and being like "we saw you guys across campaign"😂
That quote made me laugh so hard just by itself being funny, but also because Laura, as usual, seems completely astonished by what she said... Or more like what Jester's soul inhabiting her body said... LOLOL
My favorite quote easily is the
Dorian: wait, are you couple up as well?
Beau: *yeah, me and her*
Laudna: ✨and me and her✨
I need to remember to watch Robbie's reactions more. He is all of us.
Yeah he and Travis have some top tier reactions
@@Luboffin I loved Matt's reactions throughout! The players did so much interacting that he got to sit back and enjoy a lot. That face he made when Jester told Ashton to shove their face in Fearne's boobs was priceless!
That man has no pokerface whatsoever. It's amazing
I cried so hard during Dorian and Orym's interaction, wishing we all could have someone to just hold us through difficult times.
My favorite moment was when a bunch of people were having their two characters talk to each other and then Marisha had Laudna try to talk to Beau and Beau just went, "No," and walked off. 😂
Haha same that was great
@@Luboffin same. That was perfect!
Robbie has been such a joy to watch this campaign and I truly hope he’ll be a part of whatever CR does going forward. He just fits with them so seamlessly and makes it a better story. ❤
I love that Matt just got to sit back and watch the group(s) interact with each. He barely said anything in the whole episode.
“We’re all doomed to become our parents” is such an amazing metaphor for the strange shifting perspective levelling up can provide.
Matt covering his face while Caleb is talking about his love chets work
About Beau's take on the Hells: I think after her parents abandoning her, losing Tori, and then Molly's death, Beau still fears loss and is slow to form new bonds.

I agree. I think she likes them but doesn't *want* to like them for the very reasons you outline here.
Yeah actually I agree, I think this is the correct take.
One thing you missed, when Jester started groping Fjord and Marisha made a joke about Henry Crabgrass dying. I was taking a sip of lemonade and almost spat it onto my laptop.
Oh shoot I did! I also realised I forgot to talk about the fire resistance ring haha

You asked for it: Alabaster Baby
(Verse 1)
Alabaster baby, you shine so bright
Like the moon in the dark, on a velvet night
Every step you take is soft and slow
Like you're dancing through a dream, don’t let go
Your eyes are like a mirror to a world so rare
With a gentle heart, you’re floating through the air
So fragile but you're standing tall
Alabaster baby, you’ve got it all
(Chorus)
Alabaster baby, pure as snow
In a world that’s wild, you’re the calm I know
With a touch like silk and a heart of gold
Alabaster baby, never grow cold
Alabaster baby, never grow old
(Verse 2)
Your voice is like a whisper on the breeze
Every word you say puts my mind at ease
You’ve been carved by time, but you still don’t crack
Grace and beauty, there's nothing that you lack
You move like the waves on a quiet sea
With a soul so deep, wild and free
I could spend forever lost in your glow
Alabaster baby, don’t ever let go
(Chorus)
Alabaster baby, pure as snow
In a world that’s wild, you’re the calm I know
With a touch like silk and a heart of gold
Alabaster baby, never grow cold
Alabaster baby, never grow old
(Bridge)
And even when the world gets dark and rough
You stand tall, you’re more than enough
With a love that never fades away
Alabaster baby, here to stay
(Chorus)
Alabaster baby, pure as snow
In a world that’s wild, you’re the calm I know
With a touch like silk and a heart of gold
Alabaster baby, never grow cold
Alabaster baby, never grow old
(Outro)
Alabaster baby, you’ll always shine
In this heart of mine, you’re frozen in time
Alabaster baby, you’re my light
Stay forever, through the darkest night
These last few episodes of calm before the storm are being the death of me, the anticipation, I can't wait to see what is going to happen
I was squealing and exited while watching that whole episode, its 10 pm when the episodes drop on UA-cam in Germany and i was SO LOUD my poor roommates smsnsndns
(also I firmly choose to believe that the "we have seen your fan video's" in the tour announcement is referring to this channel)
I was watching it on my phone and my daughter kept asking “ what are you laughing at?” 😂. I was busting up laughing all night 😂😅
Probably my other favourite moment would be Laudna torturing Sprinkle at the end, using Mage Hand to stop him from running away and then stuffing him inside Pate's bird house 😂
Been waiting for this video!! 💙💚
I'm looking forward to Cad and Launda to talk, I expect Cad to try to grow some fungus tea off her body. 😂

Travis as Fjord describing the Hell was perfectly accurate.

Braius when kicked out as refugees lost his "Greene" card.
Its so interesting to see taliesin switch between, Ashton "the gods havent done shit for me" greymoore and cadeuceus "the gods work in mysterious ways" clay
Why was it not until watching this that I realised “Of course the nein don’t know about what happened to Ryn-the players don’t!”

The funny thing is, Caleb saying turning into a goldfish would help is kind of correct, bc he knows if physics of the world was consistent, Kiki couldnt have died, since the 20d6 that kiki would hit could not have killed her (it was just matt forgetting the rules and accidentally bringing us the best scene in the show, lmao)
I don't think Matt has ever indicated in game that he's set a limit to how much damage you can take from falling. It would seem fake if all characters of a certain level could never die from falling.
@@Dunybrook He did, based on capping it in the past when keyleth used fall damage offensively and defensively in the past.
So in world, the character would know that dropping something from an airship as a nonflying beast didnt kill it, allowing it to come back after them later, and she knows she dropped as the keyteor before and knows how much damage that did to her.
Like Keyleth was correct when she said "we're practically gods" at that level you literally could drop from that high.
Also if you're using real world physics, turning into a goldfish also would have saved her, because terminal velocity of a goldfish is much less than a person, and the air friction would have stopped her, like a parachute.
Thanks for this. It was great to see the players having so much fun but there really wasn't anything in this episode for people (like me) who didn't watch C2. I couldn't finish it but maybe I'll go back and try again.
13:40 Bone >harp
I laughed so much at Fearne going "i want my own collection! *I want the five* 😠" I want that one shot
Feaire and jester talking is like those two blonde popular girls in high-school that just chatter constantly in the high pitched voice
Sam has frequently leaned into trolling the cast through his decisions rather than servicing the story. But he also makes some of the best decisions for the story that have ever been made by the cast (SPOILER ALERT: FCG's sacrifice...a moment I will never forget). His creativity has ups and downs but I will gladly still gladly take it.
I really enjoy these recaps a lot, but I would love to see more conspiracy theories, both from you and from people on Discord or in the comments, even if it’s just 2 minutes long, that would be enough.
Yeah I understand! I tend to get more time to talk about that stuff on stream. Unfortunately though we’re kind of at the point where there isn’t always new stuff to theorise about and the major questions I feel I’ve hashed over my theories a bunch already. Hopefully the next few episodes we’ll get some juicy lore drops!
Am i the only one that noticed that the toys Caleb put out were a cat (obviously) a t-rex and a gorilla, thus implying that Chetney inspired his go to polymorph forms.
I did not notice! That’s super cute
that is 'Icky Thong' please 😁
I saw in this episode its that The Mighty Nine are more close with Gods....
chetney is the "what if harrison ford was a gnome?"
Pocket bacon is why the Hellhounds in Hunt: Showdown only go for me!
What is that Symbol on Sam's shirt a reference of... 4:14 from Campaign 2. I thought maybe the film Hero at Large, but it doesn't look quite right.
Hellz with a Z😊
Lucky for me I started on season one like 2 years ago and basically binge watched to present so no spoilers for me. lol.
ARe you going to liveshow in sydney/melbourne?
Hopefully Melbourne if I can get a ticket!
If Dorym dont get their happy ending i can never watch anything ever again
Luna is the Gilear plush new? I've never noticed it before, despite having my own Gilear in view most of the time I'm watching your videos🤣😅
Haha nah it's been in the background for a while, always watching 😛
I have to admit I’ve never vibed with BH like I did with the Mighty Nein, and I’ve never really been able to articulate why. Having the Nein return in this episode and the one-shot a few months ago showed me that it’s more the characters than anything else that’s left me feeling disconnected from C3. (And don’t get me wrong. I still love the show. And I *love* some of BH. But the Nein are my CR party.)
Clearly, Orym has heard a slightly adjusted telling of the fish story from Keyleth, and was told about how she ingeniously saved herself from falling that far XD
I think that was Liam messing with Marisha.
In 2014 rules, changing into something very hardy like a bear would stop you from dying because the HP goes over your own and acts as a shield. The new rules wouldn't work this way but Liam has the right idea. Also the most she should of taken was 120, you can't get more than 20d6
She definitely would have spun that story
Can anyone give past references about orym and Dorian hinting their feelings? I was so caught off guard
Well ever since the EXU Dorian gravitated around Orym.
Their friendship and little moments were more subtle but if you go back do C3 ep1 you will notice how Doriam is always focused on the leads (for battle and other decisions) Orym gives.
I made a LONG list of it, if it helps? If you have time to read all of it, of course. There's more but these ones are the most notable for me.
EXU:
- Robbie: 'I don't know why I keep looking at Orym, so I'm going to look over at Orym.' (Episode 1)
- Liam: "Orym shoots Dorian the kind of look that a spouse gives to a spouse." (Episode 3)
- Parts where Orym can't seem to help but watch Dorian (Episode 5, Episode 6)
- Dorian: 'As he typically is, Orym's right.' (Episode 5)
- Conflict between Orym and Dorian about the crown of the spider queen, and Dorian letting it go because he cares more about Orym (Episode 5)
- Dorian always looking out for Orym and feels bad not being able to help him: "And I'm going to give Orym a wistful look as I leave, because I feel fucking bad about bailing [from the battle]" (Episode 6)
- Before separating ways with the EXU crew, Dorian decided to follow Orym's lead: "I look to Orym like I always have for direction, and see if I'll follow." (Episode 8)
---
C3:
- Dorian always looking at Orym for guidance / leadership: "In any sort of conflict, first things first: I'm going to look straight to Orym" (C3E1) // "You're the leader." (C3E1)
- Dorian always looking out for Orym even in battle.
Dorian: "No debts between us." [After Orym thanks him for saving him] (C3E3)
- The way Orym worries about Dorian.
Liam: "as soon as Dorian gets back, Orym untenses his hand and realizes how hard he's been gripping Sending Stone." (C3E6)
- Liam: "As he bends down a blue flower blooms out of Orym's hand and is now tucked into Dorian's hair." (C3E6)
- Orym being protective of Dorian: " It's simple, I'm Orym. I'm Dorian's friend." [As Liam does the 'I'm watching you' gesture at Chetney for being mean to Dorian] (C3 E8) // "Orym is scanning the room, too, for anyone who might be eyeballing Dorian, just because of the way Artana Voe sized him up for looking similar." (C3E13)
- Dorian: "God, I just want to touch Orym." (C3E3)
- The way Dorian wants Orym by his side: "Orym, you said you'd like to stay with me. Would you?" (C3E12) // The same with Orym: "I'll be with Dorian." (C3E12)
- The way both of them highly regard each other. / Orym: "Dorian has talked us out of 20 different situations." // Dorian: "There is no one more capable or qualified to hold onto this than Orym." (C3E12)
- Kissing Orym's forehead (C3E14)
- All of Orym's sending stone messages for Dorian while they're apart. And Orym using the stone as comfort when it stopped working for a while.
- The way Orym misses Dorian after he left: "I was about to say that it was like having Dorian around [when Imogen turned blue] (C3E18) // "I think of our friend who we said goodbye to a few days ago." [After Orym finds the Chromatic Rose] (C3E17) //"Hey, friend. Missing you here. Could really use your special brand of creative optimism right now. Don't know where you are. Hope you're happy." (C3E31) // "I really miss Dorian, and sometimes I think that's okay, and sometimes I think it isn't! (C3E79)
- Orym reaching for the sending stone before falling from Otohan's blade. "As it stabs, you see Orym's hand which was reaching into his belt, and the blue sending stone goes, bump-bump, onto the ground." (C3E33)
- Orym's distraught that Dorian didn't answer when the sending stone started working again. (Orym: "Why do you think he didn't answer? / Imogen: "The stone?" / Orym: "Dorian. He didn't answer." (C3E86)
Orym tackling Dorian for a hug upon his return (C3E93)
Orym: "You remember when I held a blade to your chest and told you not to put that crown on your head? I think about that every day." // Dorian: "Every step of the way, I've thought about you." (C3E95)
Dorian telling Orym that it's okay to rely on them and believe they could make it; that he doesn't have to save everyone. (Orym: "I tried to reach out a lot, but you still got me through. // Dorian: "I wouldn't be here without you, and now, I'm here with you." (C3E95)
"Orym: In the last 10 or 15 minutes before falling asleep, he goes back to just watching Dorian sleep, he goes back to just watching Dorian sleep, which is something that he's done for a very, for a long time." (C3E104)
"Liam: But I think because of how integral the relationships between fathers and sons are to Orym and his history and how much he loves Dorian-" (C3E105)
Liam: "Orym totally blue screens." [After Dorian's speech and summoning his mount] (C3E105)
"Orym: (to the Raven Queen) Do you ever miss your mortality? It's pretty great-[Liam looks to Robbie and shares a smile with him]-living a lifetime." (C3E109)
Dorian: "I think you can smite them all, but I would say that is a plan, but if there's anyone among them who could stand up against your mighty deceit, it's probably that little man's strength and honor. // "I do think he is the best of us and I think he leads us in a way he doesn't know. " (C3E110)
@@Xaychedelic wow! Amazing! I didn't get to finish EXU so maybe it didn't click for me like others. But then again I've always had this issue even for myself where I miss the signs coming at me - I literally thought it was best friendship.
Thank you so so much 🙏🏽
@@Sky-xf7nx see this is where I'm bad with signs like these 😂 my now spouse had to spell it out for me when we were dating.
@@rjbramirez I completely understand.
There's a compilation of "Dorym" (their ship name) that have a lot (its an hour long) of cute moments that u can watch to get how their slowburn came to that """"suden"""" passionate confession.
Braius is totally lying!!! I bet he'll reveal his total faith in Asmodeus at the very end!
i see Braius more as Teenager that lashing and hating his parents just because they disapoint him and he discover they werent perfect individuals. and im not saying thats not deep, on the contrary i think we center so much in the idea of him being this example people wrong by the gods, that we forget that he probably will give everything to just be we people that acept him, is just the situation that the lord of lies give hims that posibility the easy way. i think Cadecius say it perfectly, what let him down was the people, his belives never change, was the people he learn them from that hurt him. all of this is just my opinion, and probably sam see it differently, but i belive the Briaus pre Jester an Nott is the one that it actually with the BH rigth now he just put this mask of loving the betrayers because he want to make it hurt the people that disapont him
To be honest i hope Campaign 4 has zero references to any of the other campaigns. thats just my opinion
damn... robbie is good :(
