Transcript: Taliesin hints as Caduceus’ sexuality and discusses Fjord’s “bad decision” – TM for CR C2 Ep41 1:04:07

This wasn’t the answer on Caduceus’ sexuality I was hoping for, but I’m so grateful for it. Taliesin knows what this means to people, and he wants to make sure he has time and space to explore it properly rather than give a short, incomplete answer. “We’re not there yet, but definitely…” He wants to … Continue reading Transcript: Taliesin hints as Caduceus’ sexuality and discusses Fjord’s “bad decision” – TM for CR C2 Ep41 1:04:07 →

Transcript Fjord asks Caduceus what the plants say – CR C2 Ep038 0:13:17

Reading the Talks Machina question submissions this week, I was struck by how many of them asked how Caduceus felt about Melora not talking to him or not in the way The Traveler talks to Jester. Some asked if this was a conscious character choice, and they were nearer the mark. Caduceus is heavily rooted … Continue reading Transcript Fjord asks Caduceus what the plants say – CR C2 Ep038 0:13:17 →

Use Molly’s correct pronouns, part 3

I’m so tired of being angry about this, but here we still are, apparently still needing remedial pronoun lessons for nonbinary people like Molly. So here it is AGAIN. (The answer to “When will you shut up about this?” is “When I stop seeing people get it wrong.”) People get to choose their own pronouns … Continue reading Use Molly’s correct pronouns, part 3 →

Analysis: Caduceus Clay Ace/Aro – CR C2 Ep 028-032

In the words of Taliesin Jaffe, “I’m not a big believer in hope. Hope is a sin.” [1] I have closely watched every minute of CR C2 Ep 028-032 with the intent of seeing something to prove this theory wrong, because I don’t trust hope. But the harder I’ve looked, the more solid the theory … Continue reading Analysis: Caduceus Clay Ace/Aro – CR C2 Ep 028-032 →

Transcript: Decomposition Cantrip – CR C2 Ep028 & Ep030

I noticed some interesting things about the spell Decomposition that Caduceus used in Ep030. It spawned a bit of fiction based on these transcripts. Episode 028 The Mighty Nein approach Caduceus’ graveyard for the first time. 0:43:05 Matt: “Frumpkin begins to return, and a passing of one of the clouds gives more sunlight that breaks … Continue reading Transcript: Decomposition Cantrip – CR C2 Ep028 & Ep030 →
