This was originally a reblog, but it felt important enough to me that I wanted to make it it's own post.
I have mentioned before how Fabian feels like a representation of some parts of the black experience, and Riz feels like another.
Riz has always felt black coded to me because of how much harder he has to work to be viewed as equal and worthy. How disrespected goblins are in the FH universe, I think about that pirate that threatened him while they were in leviathan all the time. Riz has to be perfect all the time because if he isn't, he'll be viewed as nothing. Everything he has ever done and all the work he has ever put into the things he loves will mean fucking nothing.
Watching Riz and Sklonda interact sometimes feels like watching conversations with elders in our community telling us telling that we can't be mediocre. We can't be anything but the best. We can't be messy, or scrappy, or frumpy, or unprepared, because every black individual is the face of the black community when we go out into the world.
We're not allowed to have awkward phases because it will make the community look bad. The amount of pressure we live under from the moment the world stops viewing us as kids, even before then honestly, is fucking immense and there is no room for slipups.
I relate to Riz so much and I headcaonned him and Sklonda as black from their first appearance because I saw myself and my own family in them.
I love DND so much because of the stories it allows us to tell, because of the experiences we get to share that people might not see otherwise. I just think that's really beautiful.
This is also the third time a white man has done a portrayal of a character that feels so fucking true to the black experience, without even trying and I think that's hilarious.

I wonder if any of the teachers at Aguefort remember Sandra Lynn. If the ranger teacher remembers the bright eyed teenager who wasn't very good at attending classes, sure, but was a brilliant ranger, who was excited and warm, who loved ranging more than anything, who loved and protected her friends, who was sassy and impulsive, but had such a good heart. If they remember the young woman who called them begging for a recommendation, because she was terrified her skills wouldn't be enough, that her reputation would stop her from becoming a Solesian Ranger.
Do they look at Bobby Dawn and remember the teenager and the young woman? The contrast between them?
They look at the person who had ruined their progigy's life, and have to work with them

I will say, we joke a lot about how Arthur Aguefort’s favorite adventuring party is clearly The Seven and how for all Kipperlilly complains that Arthur likes the Bad Kids more, they’re the ones Arthur REALLY gives special treatment, but I do wonder how much of that is guilt that he knew Kalvaxus was likely behind their kidnappings and that he basically let it happen so that Kalvaxus could be released and then defeated.
Arthur helping them stay together was basically him trying to make up for the fact that they became a party solely BECAUSE of the trauma and pain he let those teenage girls go through as a means to an end.

Sandra Lynn being able to talk to Adaine about her issues but being unable to do it fully sober with Fig. She looks at her daughter and sees a mirror. They are the mother daughter pair ever

Brennan's clear hatred of people who fantasize and romanticize the idea of life altering trauma makes rewatching Misfits and Magic so funny. Kipperlilly and early Dream are the same person. I don't think I could have physically coped with the embarrassment Erika must have felt constantly having Brennan look at her and say (in character of course) "Hey. Stop fucking fetishizing me. I am a real person in tremendous pain." and still continuing the bit

Hey, Kick-in-the-teeth Claptrap, you know who was also a halfling rogue, with a perfectly normal family made up entirely of Mumple people????
Penny freaking Luckstone, of The Seven Maidens.
And she had the Society of Shadows beating down her door for an internship after graduation. So that fully sounds like a skill issue for you bitch.

fabian is such a sweetie and he will not convince me otherwise. genuinely there’s no reason for him to make up with gertie bc the rest of them have enough good standing with her to work with her, he fully did that for kristen. the way he approached it too, wasn’t like “oh im gonna get her off my back so we can deal with the honey thing” no it was pure good soul lou wilson shining through fabian going “hey if there’s even a BUMP on this road to love for my friend because of me? i’m repaving the entire fucking street lets go”

Riz has spent this whole season, struggling so much and trying so hard to squeeze blood from a stone, to be in a dozen places at once, to stay afloat, to secure his future, to save the world (again), barely having time to spend with his mom and literally having to be in hell so he can have a few blessed minutes to chat with his murdered father about work (which yes, is an act of love when a Gukgak is doing it but God, he's so tired).
And Kipperlilly is watching this kid, who is taking stress tokens for his friends even though he's at capacity himself, whose blood is more coffee than anything else at this point because you can't solve problems when you're asleep, who signed up for an exam with a 100% mortality rate for lack of other viable options, and saying to herself, "You lucky bastard. It's not fair."

I'm sorry but the bad kids going to the forest of the nightmare king with just an extra classmate and one of the member's mom vs the rat grinders only going to the mountains of chaos but a teacher having to go with them because otherwise it would be too hard made me giggle
