We need to talk about this scene. Yes, I was taken aback by the ABSOLUTE WHIPLASH of flipping from Vaxleth angst to Scanlan pain to Perc’ahlia, -ahem, being together. What a bold choice and I think it’s bloody brilliant. Here’s why.
Not only was this scene a great way to showcase the Vox Machina romantic relationship drama all at once but it also foreshadows how we find each relationship at in the current canon.
First, we have our tragic, doomed-by-the-narrative couple: Vax and Keyleth (these two always break my heart). Each sitting on the other side of the door, alone, yearning for each other - so close but so far- the tragedy of Vaxleth is that Vax will never have enough time and Keyleth will have all the time in the world. Vax, blanketed by the sun doing down, nighttime creeping in. And Keyleth in her dark bedchamber: dark, cold, and alone.
Second, we have our short but sweet Pike and Scanlan. The future divorcees. From what we I know in the current timeline (admittedly I am behind in C3), after divorcing Pike, Scanlan is out traveling Exandria with his daughter. Pike is still connected with her found family of Vox Machina (again, as far as I am aware) while Scanlan has been more transient- him being the one to walk away after their miscommunication and missed connection. The sunset, beautiful and short lived.
Finally, we have my beloved Percy and Vex. We see them together (horny little devils those two I love them), in a moment of (to put it in a less sexually explicit way) connection and passion. They’re the only ones still together: ruling Whitestone with their horde of children (they’re just practicing that bit for now- haha). Perc’ahlia is the lucky couple of these three- defying their seemingly hopeless future together, becoming stronger through each other and helping each other grow and be loved. The warm glow of the light behind them.
Anyway, I can’t stop thinking about this. Well done, just well fucking done.
Your soul is forfeit

Another day another toy (level) for Mighty Marbles one is done. This is one feels like just light hearted fun and really embraces everything I wanted the game to be about :)
I am a solo dev from Australia turning children's physics toys into a game cause I couldn't find one to play, so trying to make one myself!
If you want to support me please wishlist on steam or visit the website to find out more mightymarbles.com
Hondo in the beginning of S3E9 (The Wynkahthu Job) has me CACKLING.
Hondo’s dumb ass: Now, now, don't be blind to this amazing business opportun... *looks at Kanan* Oh, sorry, sorry!
Kanan, completely unfazed: Actually, I'm interested in what you have to offer.
Hondo: Oh, wise one. I knew that you would see things my way. *Realizes* Ooh, sorry again!
I wish I could get tired of this stupid ass show, but I can’t 😅
