“____ is the comedian out of the duo” Can we TALK about how funny both Kazuki and Rei are. Like they always manage to get me. Kazuki with his overdramatic mom tendencies and desperately tries to get his shit together. Rei with his blunt side comments paired with a monotonous delivery. And most of all these two have no idea what they are doing. These two are absolute disasters together holy shit

I agree with you that Laura is actually cautious (and sometimes conflict avoidant) though a true formidable player. But I'm curious what chaotic play does mean to you? Is there a line where bold choices crosses over into that? I'm really trying to be mindful as a player myself, to not play it too safe but also not go to the other extreme.
I think that defining "chaos" is probably a task best left to some ancient Greek forum and not me, but I see "chaotic" to be a deeply negative playstyle. You should not ever strive, in D&D or similar games, to be chaotic as a player; you should be collaborative, even if your character is chaotically aligned in an alignment system.
I feel the example I can give is like...there is a long-defunct podcast I really liked called Master Manual, aimed at Dungeon Masters, and they fielded questions about like, players who fully wanted to abandon the quest and become potato farmers or something, and that's the closest I can give you. Honestly that's not even great, in that all the players were allied and seemingly having fun, but as a DM I'd find that chaotic.
To me, a chaotic player is someone who doesn't follow the logic of the table - you are part of a party, you are trying to play the game of D&D which means picking up at least some of what the DM is putting down, and you are working with your fellow players. That doesn't mean you have to play a pleasant character, or follow every plot hook, or never have conflict - you should! But a chaotic player is the kind who is just kind of doing everything they feel like in the moment without any regard to the social consequences of "being an asshole in a game you are playing with your friends."
So: you could make a bold choice and push it too far if it's like, "randomly kill an innocent NPC ally because you thought it would be funny," but I think it's genuinely hard to play chaotic if you have any shred of respect for the other people at the table.

like clockwork someone who's been openly a sex pest for decades gets named as a rapist and sexual predator and we all get to play the hit parade with such classics as:
oh my god oh my god did you know this industry full of rich people who are rewarded for exploitative and abusive behaviour...has an issue with rape and abuse??? CAN YOU BELIEVE THERE'S ABUSE IN THIS INDUSTRY???? (yeah man we know. we've known for quite a while actually. for longer than I've been alive for sure.)
oh my god I can't believe there are rapists among us (1 in 3 women have experienced rape, who do you think is doing it?)
but he seemed so nice! (not really tbh)
well I met him and he never raped me and like, I'm really hot so if he was really a rapist he would have (Jesus fuck get help)
is it really rape to fuck 16 year old girls when you're in your 30s? (yeah it is if you fucking rape them mate)
can't believe everyone knew but never said!!! (they literally did say and also hey imagine if you will what reasons there might be too not say anything, such as, say, it's not your story to tell and the victim had expressed a wish to not be at the centre of a whole shitstorm)
Real Victims wouldn't go to journalists they'd go to the cops!!! (hey guys I have some upsetting news about the experience of reporting rape to the cops)
This is a conspiracy to make this irrelevant celebrity look bad! (please touch grass)
it's all just a bit of fun innit (no)
and every time we all over again have to go to this place where rape is simultaneously a significant threat and common experience (agreed) but also everyone who's ever talked about being raped is lying, and nobody's ever done a rape even if there's 20 years of documented evidence and on camera confessions and also their whole public persona is 'cheeky sex pest' (fucking. what?)
and then that guy hopefully gets cancelled and people feel a bit more guilty about watching him. and then they'll go HOORAY THE EVIL IS DEFEATED WE HAVE GOT RID OF THAT GUY THAT DID THE RAPES. OUR WORK HERE IS DONE. COMEDY/FILM/MUSIC/TV IS FREE OF PREDATORS NOW
and then 6.5 seconds later allegations will come out about someone else and we will start the whole thing again from scratch OH MY GOD CAN YOU BELIEVE THERE'S ABUSE IN THIS INDUSTRY???

the thing abt greg being bi is like. i would assume it could just be a taskmaster gag except he makes a lot of adjacent jokes on buzzcocks too (and has early in his career as well, but his recent ones feel a lot less like they’re smokescreen). like i really think he is and there’s a publicity lid on it

Bro I was on the cat in the hat ride at Universal Studios over my fall break with my 4 year old little sister and towards the end of the ride when the mom in the story comes home and asks the kids what they did while she was gone, the narrator said some shit like “what would you do if your mother asked you?” And some genius brainlet like two cars behind us screams “DONT YOU TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER!” In, I kid you not, the most SPOT ON impression of Hooty from The Owl House I’ve ever heard. I just fucking lost it, I was in tears getting off that god awful ride💀💀💀
