Ethersea headcanon:
traditional DND races at this point are very mixed and no exactly defined. this isn just from them being underwater this had been a long thing going since around the time of the big magic war shit. But you can still see some traits and iconic characteristics of those races kinda mixed and mashed across the population, so heres my specific player character headcanons
Devo: Devo definitely has Tabaxi blood. Why? cause i like it and think its cool and fits him. I think if you were to blood test him he’d be mostly tabaxi and wood elf
Amber: DWARF DWARF DWARF DWARF! I think Amber is pretty much as dwarf as you can get in this world ive set up. But id be just as happy if my girl has orc blood or even like, halfling?? I think shes short and beefy. also i want her very badly to have facial hair
Zooks is a brinarr so i don't really have anything to go off and he’s like a bunch of people but i think it would be cool like, idk what if like Loxodon >:3
I was gonna make a joke about Chauncey deciding to do all this "The Beholder" stuff but then I realized: why did Chauncey put a tracker on Orlean's ship? When did he put a tracker on Orlean's ship? Why did he make a copy of the blueprints before Joshy could sell them off to Orlean??? What the fuck is going on with Chauncey that's got him so sus of Orlean that he's doing all this????
new episode got me thinking about these lines in reference to devo
[image ID: a screenshot of lyrics from the song “never love an anchor” by the crane wives. it reads: “i am selfish, i am broken, i am cruel / i am all the things they might have said to you / do you ever think of me and my two hands”. end ID]
Wait yo, since I've been ecologyposting about ethersea, people know why the name Amber Gris is the best name in the world, right? Why it's the most phenomenal thing a person has ever said?
In case not: Ambergris is a weird waxy substance produced by sperm whale during digestion.
It's SO GOOD as a name for a weird funky ocean lady!!!!
Also,, the exact same level of humor as deciding there's a haunt called the fucking Cloaca
This episode has everything: Amber-Devo fight, Beck, Brother Seldom, weird mystery dude who’s actually just Chauncey, murder mystery, and most importantly: kick-ass flame decals (hell yeah)
"no it doesn't have weapons. I mean, from what I can tell this thing was used to scope out molluscs and shit by a bunch of nerds."
SO i now have a way to work my weird ecology fanfic in with the ship too 😈 hmehmehme
I think Chauncey might be my new favorite npc, I hope he shows up more <3
Bro Devo fuckin upselling and blackmailing the curator is the VIBE though like YES dude if this guy wants to save face make him WORK for it your friend got fucked up like 👏👏👏👏 this is absolutely the acceptable way of working within the capitalist system
I redact any connections to The Magnus Archives I made in the last post. This is the Beholder to me now
"Guthrie is the one who told me not to stick weapons in people's face and - and as soon as I didn't do that, he stabbed me in the back
i mean i thought i was dead. And it was a horrible reminder of what being dead feels like."
WAIT IS THAT WHY DEVO TOOK THE BOOK FROM GUIDANCE'S OFFICE BECAUSE HE JUST ASSUMED THAT HE WAS NOW THE SENIOR HAND????
Actually better question, what the fuck is Orlean doing with the Dhelmer blueprints??? Why go out of your way to purchase it from Uncle Joshy??? What the fuck are the blueprints for?????
“I think I’ve guessed his true name: Reddit” OHHHHH SHIT GOTTEM
When did the tonewheel get in Guidance's office? If we're assuming like the party is, that Orlean orchestrated this, then when did he speak with her last? It would have had to have been in her office for a good while if it wasn't there when Seldom left, tonewheels don't manifest out of thin fucking air
I'm still hung up on the fact that unless stated otherwise Devo is the Senior Hand of the Parish. My boy fucking dipped, he's decloistered, why would anyone let him be in charge of the place he fucking left???????
