can confirm, at the very first percabeth hug i was contorted on my couch yelling “NOBODY MOVE NOBODY BREATHE HISTORY IS HAPPENING” while my poor parents stared, slightly horrified at the effect that this tv show has on their 20 year old daughter
had to discuss grief with my therapist today and we had a very genuine and serious talk about how losing jason grace actually took a mental toll on me. like crying every day kind of toll. Even thinking about him right now gives me heartburn
The way my sisters and I all SCREECHED at the end of songbirds when Donald Southerland voice comes in and says “it's the things we love most that destroy us.” AAHAHAHUHSHAHAHAHAHAGGAGGGA
Some notes about this that I think are interesting. In low approval he's unnaturally still and doesn't blink. Not even once. He's turned slightly away from them like he's ready to attack or run at any second. He's fully alert and on guard. He does NOT trust tav.
In high approval he literally slow blinks like a cat and sways back and forth a little like he's giddy to talk to tav. He literally can't stop smiling even at the expense of looking a little silly :3
He shows complete trust and absolutely adores them. Either platonically or romantically.
Just some details that I think are really cool and show how much thought the devs put into these interactions. Even though most of the time we can't even see the faces he makes when talking to him.
minsc has this line when you talk to him after gale speaks to mystra where he's like back in my homeland, we hide young wizard boys away so that mystra doesn't snatch them up and. like. man. that really adds some more color to how fucked up gale's whole situation with her was huh
