The mystery that's a part of Dammon's appeal and a solution to preserve it.

From this clip posted by Frazer Blaxland, provided to me by northlandcleric I'm starting to understand where his voice actor is coming from and can even respect it.

But it's also a really brilliant idea for his romance conflict and/or character arc. The thing is, Larian could keep some to most of Dammon's history and motivations a complete mystery. By simply having him struggle, dodge, or even outright refuse to open up about his past and present.

They could drop little ominous clues. Scraps of paper are found during his missions or around his tent in camp with drawn symbols not even Gale can recognize. For his character arc missions, he needs our help to collect a few mysterious items from various sometimes dangerous and highly guarded locations. But the problem is he won't tell you what they are, he refuses to show you them or admit why he needs them. They all just go into this peculiar box of his which he works on out of view of the camera. Much like when he was preparing a fix for Karlach's heart. It could cause the device inside to glow and make some chilling sounds that make us question our decision to keep helping him.

If that wasn't bad enough, there are odd things he mumbles to himself in passing you can't quite make out. We could have a cutscene where we catch him continuing to work on this mysterious device that he quickly hides away.

He could occasionally disappear from the game. As in, he's not available as a companion for a day here and there. He warns you this could happen beforehand and not to worry. Or there is simply a note he's left behind.

I should be back in a day, possibly two. - Dammon

When he comes back, and we ask where he went, he tells us he can't say. Sometimes, he comes back shaken or injured and still won't tell us what has happened or what's wrong.

His story is filled with all kinds of little things that would pique our curiosity and cause us to wonder and yearn for answers.

Perhaps the items he collects look to be transfered into a special locked chest at camp near his tent that he says is private and to not touch. And if the player doesn't listen, picks one surprisingly low roll lock, and opens it regardless, it provides zero answers. It contains just a few mundane, possibly sentimental items. What do these items mean? It doesn't matter, at least not yet, because it was a duplicate box. A temptation. A test to determine if Dammon could trust you, and you just failed it. Upon opening his chest, and violating one of his boundaries, he leaves the party and disappears forever. Or better yet, the game suddenly ends, and the credits roll.

What the hells happened?

We'll never know but we just messed up big time.

Why do I think this idea is perfect for him?

One Frazer wants him to be a man of mystery. Okay, that's valid. Here is your mystery, another paycheck, and more acclaim Frazer.

Two, because it's already set into Dammon's character somewhat. Upon minutes of knowing us, when he speaks of his time in the hells he outright admits, "I hope to forget most of it."

Again, that could be the issue the player character has with him. He simply doesn't want to talk about his past, his trauma, and possible sins. He wants to focus on the present and future with you and/or Karlach. Dammon can be a rather private and guarded character. Why is he like that? It's another mystery.

Being with him as a friend or lover is a complete leap of faith.

Perhaps he actually did, or was made to do, something horrifying and possibly unforgivable. If he confesses, maybe he fears it would destroy our warm view of him and the better person he wishes to be now. Maybe something unspeakable has happened to him, and he doesn't want to be an object of pity. He could be a god, a devil, a Great Old One, or something else in disguise. He could be from the future or an alternate dimension. Or maybe he's entered into an infernal pact of some kind that's bound his tongue on the whole matter. The list of what his secrets are can go on and on.

Then as his love interest or just friend, do we accept that he has a few secrets and respect his boundaries? Do we keep our hands off his metaphorical Pandora's box? Or do we break things off with him for refusing to trust and open up to us? Better yet, he could choose to break it off with us eventually or even leave the party for good if we keep pressing and again, open that chest of his.

This would allow us fanfic writers to go wild with theories. The fandom as a whole will debate over which ones seem more plausible. None of which the developers at Larian will ever confirm.

Parts of his past will never be explained to us the player.

Finally, after he's collected the last thing he needs, and fiddles with it after he places it in the box, it just winks out of existence. Maybe dramatically, it hums, levitates, and glows first then poof! A real "Stand back!" like it's going to blow up moment.

After it's gone, Dammon drops to his knees, shivers, and lets out this huge sigh of relief, maybe even laughs next. Make it a touch maniacal? Sure, that would make us sweat over if we did the right thing in helping him. Make us squirm Larian, please.

The important thing is, that whatever problem Dammon had is over... or is it?

The player character can ask him if he can now explain himself. If a friend, he'll just shake his head and thank us. If we have low approval with him, he'll just shake his head and apologize that he still can't speak of it and ask us to, yet again, drop the matter.

But if he's our love, he'll ask if we are sure we want to know and if we can keep a secret. If we vow to, he will lean in and whisper something into our character's ear. We the audience won't know what he's told our character. But at least now there are no more secrets between him and the one(s) he loves.

We just get to watch on as our character's eyes go wider and bug a little in shock as he whispers away. When he pulls back, we can choose to rush and hug him. So tight with an expression of utter belated fear of all that could have gone wrong on our character's face. Or we could choose to break up with him because whatever our character heard has damaged the relationship beyond repair.

Now that the player character knows everything they can consummate the relationship. Why now? Because full disclosure is sexy, and so is a good slow burn.

Oh, and remember those sentimental items? After telling us about his completed mission to our character, he finally shows us what's in that locked chest that had been a test of trust. The one we decide to respect his wishes and leave alone. He finally opens up about his past a tiny bit and talks about why each item he kept in there was so important to him. But of course, most of his trinkets will not be related to his time in the hells or his mysterious now completed task.

Later on, we can ask, "What in the hells were you thinking, taking all that on?!"

Dammon's response? He gives a sheepish shrug and says, "I think you know why. Everything is in order now. That's all that matters, my love. Thank you for trusting, helping, and believing in me."

To just a friend player character, who tries yet again for an explanation, Dammon will only offer, "Just know everything is in order now. That's all that matters, and you have my deepest thanks."

Again, to be clear, we the players are still kept in the dark. It will be only our romanced player character that will know what happened, and there could be an option to whisper Dammon's secret to others. That temptation could always be there among the dialogue options when speaking to the other companions. But kissing and telling will come with consequences. Anywhere from earning a large chunk of disapproval with Dammon to him outright breaking up with the player's character and leaving the party. Maybe he tells all to Karlach too or maybe not, it could all depend on your and Dammon’s relationship with her.

But no matter what, Dammon keeps a majority of his mystery.

Frazer is hopefully happy. We'll be happy.

Everyone. Can. Be. Happy!

If you agree, please consider sharing this to help bring it to Larian's attention. Feel free to discuss your thoughts in the comments below too.

Let's get Dammon into a starring role as an origin character and romanceable in a DLC to help feature the Artificer class!

Ok not AU related but I love to HC that before he earned the title Captain, Caviar’s full name was Hackleback Caviar!! (I mean you can’t be born with the name Captain)

Hackleback Caviar is a type of black caviar so I wanted to at least name him the proper caviar he’s based on!

(I like to think NOBODY knows his full name unless someone snuck into his journals…)

What I want is for El to realize Mike loves Will and feel so lost, so One decides to chat her up and take her on a void journey to watch Hopper sell her out to save Will back in 1983. She should listen to all that herself, how he made sure all the other children are save. The children who have mothers waiting for them, the children that matter, but accepting her to be sent back to the lab. All while she was doing her best to help and save Will and everyone... She just dies inside. Tries and still can't reach Max. Then she decides to go to her sister because she feels so unbearably lonely in Hawkins and kinda fuck those people, but they both eventually return to help end One together!! Now there is so many tearjerking reunions/resolutions for El!

FULL CIRCLE AND FULL CIRCLE

And then I need Kali to fall in love with Steve. They are such a good fit She'd probably love a big family and to travel around! They'd probably find each other so cool! I feel that is a really nice bow to put on in the end.

what are your wishes for wednesday season 2?

Okay. Hear me out. A full fifty minutes episode... solely focused on Xavier's hands. And let me tell you: Netflix's viewing records would break.

Just kidding – not really – but more seriously:

I obviously hope for more development in Wednesday and Xavier's relationship. Now that she knows she can trust him, maybe he could help her in her stalker investigation?

Along with this, I need, I crave JEALOUS WEDNESDAY. Some new girl definitely needs to come and hit on Xavier to make Wednesday realize she's into that boy.

However, although I want Wednesday and Xavier to be endgame, I wouldn't mind them not being together in season 2 yet. After what happened with Tyler, Wednesday needs to get her bearings at Nevermore like the independent boss bitch we know she is before she understands she can be the same independent boss bitch with Pretty Hands Xavier by her side.

Maybe some Vincent Thorpe appearance just so we can hate him a little bit?

More of Wenclair friendship as well as Xavier and Ajax's.

I'd like to hear more about Bianca's deal with her mom and the whole cult thing? Maybe that'll be integrated in the plot?

And finally, I NEED Grandmama Addams to make an appearance.

In case you don’t know, October is prime “Oscar-bait” season for movies, as in, if a film wants to be considered for an Oscar, the studio will attempt an October release date (a very rough rule, there are outliers such as Everything Everywhere All At Once).

So...the fact that the new Digimon movie is coming out Oct 27th 👀👀👀

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!!!!!!

Vivia is a god. Change by mind

I wouldn't call him a god, per say, but he does fit the definition of a demigod. Technically any Master Detective could fit under that term with their supernatural powers, but Vivia especially stands out cause he has one of the most powerful Fortes that we know of. He's a human being like everyone else, however, his ability is one of the most complex. Not only can he spectral project and see different paranormal beings, he can also phase through physical objects and fly. No wonder rumors spread around about him in the WDO! Vivia is the jack of all trades, but only when he has the motivation to put the many aspects of his Forte to use.

You know you love a particular fictional universe and its characters (aka AA/TGAA/DGS) too much a lot when it becomes part of your daily life in minor ways. It's like it has become a natural part of your own universe, to the point that you associate things with it that have nothing to do with it at all.

I was making the acquaintance of someone who bears one of the variations of the noble title Count due to his lineage the other day. My brain: Oh, Count Dracula! Ergo, Count Barok van Zieks!
