There’s something so iconic about Beau saying “none of us are gods” while Marisha is wearing a keyfish shirt, she knew what she was doing and I’m obsessed <3

watching sam say that watching a dnd liveplay show is not only watching a story play out but also watching a story in the moments it is being written. thinking about that part in calamity when brennan asked marisha what happened to patia's parents and she didn't know and they figured it out together mid-episode and it became such a meaningful moment for that character. thinking thinking thinking. hhhhhhhhhhhhh i love this show

maybe this is not actually interesting. but i think it's so cool for marisha to say that she as a player had been waiting for someone to come along and tell beau that being witnessed shouldn't be the reason she does good. just because i think it's cool how she's willing to let beau sit in that place until something moves her, even when she can identify where beau needs to go and probably will go next. the patience and the trust in where the world will take her! and creating this woman and letting her out into the wild and watching over her but not forcing her to change when her experiences haven't dictated that yet. cool!!

"caleb thinks everyone is gonna leave him at the drop of a hat without realizing how much everyone cares for him already."
"and in beau's fucked up way, the only way she can communicate feelings is – she's not gonna say 'we all care for you, we're gonna love you no matter what you've done in the past.' her way of saying that is 'i dunno, they might not care that much, you might be surprised.' he's like 'no they would hate that' and i'm like 'nah they would actually probably be cool, they're not gonna care' and he's like 'why would they not care about that?' and what's she's trying to say is that they love you, no matter what."

would u be able to describe how marishas body language as keyleth differs from e.g. laudna? like laudna does the creepy hands a lot and plays with her hair, what abt keyleth? (sorry i havent seen c1 but i love marisha and her roleplay style fascinates me🙏)
hmmmm i have a hard time putting it into words and it's been a minute since i last watched c1, i think there would be plenty of people out there better equipped to do this than me lol but i think it just comes down to the core tenets of each character and how that's reflected in the way they take up space in the world
keyleth is, esp early campaign, very jittery and anxious and naive about the world. she sits at the edge of her seat with wide eyes and a big smile, and she feels things to the extreme which often translates to big movements. but the movements often feel jittery too, like there's the slowness of awkwardness/hesitation combined with the high speed of anxiety, if that makes sense? she's also not particularly graceful a lot of the time, almost like she's got too much limb and she doesn't quite know what to do with it. i think she becomes a lot more fluid and settled late campaign, which is kinda cool bc her arc is literally about how she learns to take up space in the world with confidence and purpose, but the kind of open upright posture and awkward lanky movements are always there a little bit because that's just who she is
on the other hand laudna is more comfortable in her own skin and is quite intentional about the way she presents herself, which translates to more fluid and idiosyncratic gestures that are often flourished and sweeping. laudna and keyleth are both start-and-stop with their movement, but with keyleth it feels more like she doesn't know what she's going to do until she does it, whereas laudna's abrupt and exaggerated movements from stillness are often controlled and appear to be her preferred way of getting from position A to B, if that makes sense. also just in terms of Anxiety, laudna's translates more physically to pulling on her hair etc while keyleth doesn't necessarily change her physicality as much as she just talks and talks and talks dkfjsdf. and for completion's sake laudna also sits with a different posture from keyleth, often hunched over with her shoulders raised a bit. more closed off, ready to pounce (and scare u) sort of vibe
not that you asked but beau is also v different from keyleth and laudna which is to be expected! i obviously haven't made it super far in c2 yet but from what i've seen, beau's physicality is all about Stillness and confidence, which tracks with both her personality and her monk background. i think one of the anchoring postures for beau is definitely leaning back in the chair, arms crossed, chin up - a bit protective of herself but also aggressive in the way that she's non-verbally DARING you to do that shit. there's not a lot of extraneous movement with beau, just like there's not a lot of extraneous words spoken by her. she's also a fan of extremely direct eye contact, similarly unmoving like laudna's but a lot less creepy/unsettling and a lot more piercing into the center of your soul to carve the truth out of your chest sort of thing
anyway not sure if that explains anything at all for you but a lot of it is just the Vibes that she puts out so it's hard to explain for someone who isn't actually analyzing this stuff or well-practiced at putting it into words dkfjskdfs
