“Panther in the Porridge? That’s me, babeyyyy” zac oyama is a national treasure
-
As a swordfighter I can tell you, those pictures from the manuals are REAL hard to figure out sometimes. And the Poetic Metaphorical Verses to describe them, which are in older versions of languages I don't fully speak, don't help either. Gerard is FULLY in the right presuming that the guy in the picture was actually sniffing, because who fucking knows
-
Murph is so funny and sometimes I forget because he plays the straight man so well
-
Gerard is such a glorious disaster.
-
Plight of the Honeybee. It is sort of a sacrificial move. It is Plight of the honeybee because it is their plight to die. Like pulling the glass shard out of a fairy godmother and impaling yourself on it. Is it that kind of move?
-
Lou losing his shit at, "Two Eels for Supper" is absolute gold XDXD
-
I love that murph is reading his made up sword movements like they r official dnd 5e attacks
-
"im the hero of this fight, pinocchio didnt drown did he?" Has the same energy as "Coffee's ordered, is the ball dead?" From FHSY
-
As the series progresses I just end up saying more and more often "THIS WAS THE HORROR SEASON!"
-
"The guys doing the moves are... So skinny!" Ten bucks they're crude stick figures.
-
Murph is just so genius, the way he can perfectly matches the energy of the wheel of time form names but just make them so stupid
-
Lou's trademark banshee shriek of explosive mirth requires a nigh-impossible Wisdom save to avoid laughing along with, every time, forever.
-
I feel like plight of the honeybee should have been the "I'll let him stab me and then hold on to him, so I can stab him right back and we both die" move
-
Actual sword form names in wheel of time Pebbles on black sand Parting the Silks Soft rain at sunset Robert Jordan used these because Reading about a sword fighting it usually REALLY boring so he used these names instead of "he blocked the downward cut and countered with a slash Wind and rain was Met by Cutting the clouds they all have descriptions of how they work for example Kissign the Adder is revering your grip and stabign behind you in an upward arc to catch someone behind you by surprise
-
The greatest Gerard line is simply just "TOM!!?!?" after being woken up at 5am
-
There's so much comedic depth in the idea of taking something beautiful and making your own shitty knockoff with blackjack and hookers. It really characterizes Gerard as a wannabe warrior-scholar type, and it shows how little he understands about what kind of maturity that would require from him. Which makes it even more poignant when he finally grows up in the end.
-
Gerard's sword forms are like a more realized version of the high-elven sword form bit from NADDPOD's Mage Madness arc and I LOVE it
-
this is murph's time to shine but i'm so obsessed with the way brennan says "darling, this...rules" at 3:32
-
I love he got this idea from Wheel of Time because "Cat Crosses the Courtyard" is the first thing I thought of.
-
God I love Gerard and his whole story. Really is just about being an adult and not feeling like ur life is over if u hit some speed bumps or go in a different direction than expected.
