#i like to think lotr is one of the things eiffel and hera could agree on

[commsroom]

assorted doug eiffel fantasy genre thoughts that will never cohere into a proper post but i want to say anyway: love that lotr is one of his more-frequently-referenced series. doug eiffel is the guy who is dying to tell you viggo mortensen broke his toes while kicking that helmet. thinking about gabriel urbina saying eiffel's favorite game of thrones character was robb and, doing the math, they realized the last episode to air before he left earth would've been the one right before the red wedding. thinking about the not-technically-canon dnd script and how he would be so so insufferable to dm for because he has his character's whole story planned out and he gets frustrated every time the game doesn't adhere to it. doug eiffel is the guy who gets really annoying about other people not doing their character voices. and you'd think maybe he would be a better dm than a player, if he wants to tell wild stories and do character voices so badly, but he would never be willing to plan for it and he insists he wants to play even though it makes him mad every time. doug eiffel has a very specific and very fervent pet peeve about the prevalence of giant spiders in high fantasy and you should not get him started.

#i want to take him to the ren faire #this isn't worth tagging but. i want to talk about him so too bad. #wolf 359 #w359 #doug eiffel #i like to think lotr is one of the things eiffel and hera could agree on #but she reads the books first and actually thinks in terms of themes so she's like ohh i get it and starts talking about #how it values the small deeds of everyday people and has so much emphasis on life. even as the world is changing beyond recognition #and eiffel is like yeah uh huh that's totally what i was going to say #but he was actually just excited to be like now you can watch the movies the ride of the rohirrim is soo cool #she would compare him to faramir and he wouldn't get that that's a compliment because he thinks it'd be cooler to be aragorn #that's his problem. #anyway. still thinking about bard eiffel. wonderful to me
