The Unsleeping City: Chapter 2
I just finished this season last night and wow this was such a cool fucking season. The first season was the first campaign I watched for Dimension 20 before I got the dropout subscription and quickly fell in love with everyone.
This season was so heartwrenching and had so many wholesome moments. I'm so glad that all of the characters had such wonderful character arches that really fleshed them out even more than the first season did. Plus all of this insane worldbuilding of this world that both is a real place but also this underbelly of the city going into fantastical realms really just expanded so much this time around.
Also, all of the research that Brennan and the team went into for the sobriety roles that Pete and Sofie were having to do. It was a nice touch for that realism and a bit of a callback for Adaine in Fantasy High. I really love just how much they dive right into research for things like sobriety and it just shows how much they care about showing these realities that everyone faces.
I absolutely love how everything tied up in the end. Between decimating the hold that Gladiator was gaining on New York and banishing Null back to the deeper dreaming really encapsulated just how powerful believing in your community and believing in yourself really is. We always joke and note that Brennan somehow always is anti-capitalist and brings that into the campaigns he DMs, but I think it brings up the best point of it all. How so much stronger the common person is when they have that chance to grab their dreams and goals with the help of others like them doing the same thing than any corporate entity ever could think of doing.
It was a beautiful season and will stand in the spot with season 1 as one of my all-time favorite campaigns thus far.
Now, I am off in the world of mischief and magic with the beautiful Aabria. I can't wait to tell you all about my reaction to it.
How the night changes or whatever One Direction said
A 60-year-old man.
I need to draw more furries.
i think about kugrash’s dance every single day. i start to do it whenever i feel the slightest hint of serotonin. it is one of the best things to grace this earth. thank you brian murphy for this gift.
i had a rough day today but just the general love and civic responsibility of Ricky Matsui is enough to make me feel like a person today (and inspire me to do good and try again tomorrow)
lou wilson saying “i’m a 55-year-old man” fills me with so much serotonin
todays’ mood is kugrash yelling “Butterflies are nice!” at the pupating chrysalis in Times Square during episode 2
sofia was never able to order an everything bagel for herself. not after kugrash. instead, every morning when the streets of new york are as quiet as they’ll ever be, she walks to the bodega and gets a black coffee and an everything bagel, to go. with the weight of the gran gata on her shoulders, she walks to that back alley where it all started and offers bits of that bagel to the rats. and if sofia cries, it’s not like there’s anyone there to see her anyway.
thinkin’ about,,,pizza rat my beloved
god i love how pete’s first instinct is to protect nod like. it’s just so nice. pete is so kind and he just wants to protect his friends and his family. unlseeping city is so good.
it’s so fucking funny that pizza rat’s dice was the nat 20 that got them into the dreaming world like. it’s kinda poetic too like pete’s first experience with the dreaming included pizza rat, and he’s the one that gets them to Nod.
I do love the Unsleeping City but the grit in the oyster for me is the umbral arcana - because what exactly is the governing principle behind what it does and doesn't hide?
So in @merelyroleplayers: Vigil I did my own version called the omission effect, which
a) doesn't stop anyone seeing anything, just makes you incapable of transferring certain events, beings and phenomena from short- to long-term memory
b) was recently revealed as being governed by a repressed Regency-era lady, who sits in a dead end dimension reading transcripts of reality written by abducted and brainwashed clairvoyant stenographers and censoring anything she considers improper
I love Cody Walsh way more than I should but I will probably be fine.

Not gonna lie, I genuinely did not expect the Emily sweep. I thought it would be a little more balanced at least. But hey, on with the questions.
(It's not necessarily which would have the least chemistry or who would lose first, just which team would have the most trouble getting along)
