Today at work I listened to the KPDH soundtrack on Pandora, and now "This is what it sounds like" is looping in my brain...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I’m halfway through the new KotH. I don’t know, I don’t think it’s gelling.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I forgot about the new KotH! I do want to give it a shot.

I want to hear what you think!

Also, I realized I never did watch the new Futurama and I’m like 5 years behind on Bob’s Burgers and I should fix both those things

I am extremely excited about this! Although I have been afraid to reread Moomin stuff because my memories of it are very fond but also very vague (although the bits and pieces that pop up on social media make me think I should not be afraid, but still)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

The first three episodes of The Mighty Nein were good (though they're going dark right away with some stuff.) Very different from the start of the Actual Play but I actually like most of the changes. They're tightening up some character arcs and seem to be setting up a more logical progression to where things up. (Which makes sense, since we as viewers have different story expectations from an actual scripted media than we do from an improvised story with dice.)

Lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth from some parts of fandom about some of the changes. But that's pretty much expected for any adaptation.

I’m enjoying The Mighty Nein. I didn’t watch the Actual Play, so I had no particular expectations going in.

The Mighty Nein campaign was probably my favorite of the three APs they've done so far, so I'm really enjoying seeing it come to life, even if its very different in parts.

I think Molly and Beau have gotten the biggest glow ups from AP to series. Early Beau was very aimless and overall unpleasant, so I'm liking them giving her a goal and a bit more heart right away and Molly was very inconsistent (as was his accent) until Taliesin found his groove with the character.

Regarding episode 4, Fjord wanting to Nope Out from anything horror-coded will never not be funny to me. Travis Willingham is built like an action hero but is also a big baby when it comes to horror, which I can empathize with so his/Fjord 's reaction to those situations are always entertaining.
