Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! And this whole series! These final chapters are the ones in which Lindon and Mercy face off with Malice, and finally have a chance to tell Mercy the truth. Meanwhile, in the heavens the Mad King is planning his attack on Ozriel and Suriel, and Makiel is looking on with that kind of self-satisfied regret that I cannot stand because it's him acting like something is a "neccessity" when really what he means is that it's personally convenient...

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones in which Malice seems to have convinced Mercy that Lindon has gotten so ambitious that he's willing to risk people's lives (basically accusing him of exactly the crime SHE'S guilty of), and Lindon & Yerin go off to rob a bunch of monarchs. This is all so so good. Thanks a ton to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! We're still here in Water 7 and the crew is all up to their own stuff. Zorro is guarding* the ship, Sanji is collecting ingredients for dinner, Chopper is still looking for Robin (who herself is doing something we still don't know about), and Luffy, Nami, and Usopp are trading in their gold and hiring someone to repair the Going Merry. Although it's starting to look like maybe repairing the ship isn't possible after all. *napping on...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! In these chapters we finally get to see Shera's attempt at assassinating Calder, and also find out a little more of Foster's history, which is truly harrowing and extremely difficult to read. There's also a delightful exchange between Andel and a shopkeeper, and I'm very interested in seeing what Andel goes on to do with this object. Thanks to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which Lindon levels up to a point that I didn't even think was possible. He's basically a dreadgod himself now? Which I should have kind of seen coming based on the title of this book and I didn't? Sometimes I can be a real ding dong. Also, the Mad King is up to some shit and I'm not sure what to think but it's all sounding pretty dire. Thanks to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning these chapters! So we're going back in time a lot here to see exactly what went down in the effort to recover the Emperor's crown, and turns out that Jyrene is even more lethal than I really thought, even though I should have known. I also am extremely interested to find out that it was Calder's idea to switch out with his body double without telling anyone, and I'm kind of impressed? Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new...

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode! This episode, the finale of Season 2, is a hell of an ending for now and I have no idea what we're going to do to follow up on how things wrap up. Is Guillermo going to try to work for them again, is he going to make them acknowledge him, is he going to keep protecting them? I'm into it either way. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Michael for commissioning this episode! It's time to start a new arc, and our friends are pulling up to a dope new island called Water 7, which is a lot like Venice, Italy with a giant fountain in the center. There's something kind of suspicious going on with all these people who are so overly friendly, and what's up with these masks? I'm concerned.

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! So these are the fateful chapters in which Calder has a sit-down with Ozriel and finds out the purpose of his planet and the ways in which the Great Elders can try to escape. It's a helluva lot of information to absorb, and I'm really feeling sympathy for the fact that Calder's messages never make it where they were meant to go. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones in which the guilds go to war with the Regents and wind up battling it out so bad that a champion dies, Esther Six is horrifically wounded, and Teach is turned into a dried-out husk. Shockingly, Teach lives, and she's starting to take on a totally different look as she heals, which I'm super curious about. Also, Calder finally uses the Optasia with Bliss's help, and I'm wondering if perhaps this is when he has a convo...

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode! In this delightful installment of What We Do In The Shadows, we're getting a look at another supernatural being that I've been lowkey waiting for this whole time! Witches are here, and they're interested in Nandor and Laszlo's semen, which the two gents are totally fine with until they discover just how it's going to be extracted. Meanwhile, Guillermo is quiet-quitting and I couldn't be more proud. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon wit...

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! This is the set of chapters where the Silent King really goes all-out, and manages to take down some sages, including the Sage of Red Faith. But most importantly, he takes out Jai Long, and I'm super devastated. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode.

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which the Silent King makes his move by managing to switch places with the Wandering Titan, which is just super unfair and really shouldn't be allowed. Can I get a ref in here, please? Meanwhile, Yerin is out here fighting Redmoon and seems to have managed to take hiim down with Red Faith, but of course the fucking Bleeding Phoenix and the Silent King are out here pulling some shit to bring their little servants ...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which we get the meeting of the Guild Heads from Calder's perspective, and it actually looks pretty similar to Shera's take on the whole thing, which surprised me. Also, we find out that Calder was specifically assigned to go find the missing crown of the Emperor, and I'm deeply suspicious of all of this. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Florian for commissioning this episode! I'm so delighted that we're getting such a dope new villain. Well, I'm actually not sure if I would count Aokiji as a villain exactly, but he's certainly an antagonist and someone that I'm looking forward to seeing more of. His power is completely out of control, and his attitude does not match up with it at all. Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you in a week with a new episode!

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! Lots of folks seemed pretty pumped for these chapters, which are the ones in which Lindon ACCIDENTALLY breaks his oath and tells Charity about the connection between the monarchs and the dreadgods. Charity is PISSED, and she's really not sure what she's going to do because ascending looks pretty good but also feels lowkey irrespoinsible RN. Meanwhile, Orthos and Ziel are dealing with actual fucking dragons, and Orthos is beginning to see that may...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! We're starting the final book and it's time to see how Calder gets where we see him at the end of Shera's book, and I'm so excited! First we watch him trying to exert his authority with multiple people and he's so unsuccessful it's embarrassing. Then we find out that Petal knew some of what Jyrine was up to way back when, and I'm so sad that she was manipulated. Poor Petal. Thank you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode! I will warn you all that I'm a little hard on this episode because it really beats heavily on a particular joke that doesn't work for me at all. However, I recognize that it's my personal bias and that doesn't mean it's not funny, it just isn't for me. That said, what's going on with Guillermo is amazing. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Andy for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, Lindon manages to convince Mercy to try his plan to accelerate her advancement, but I'm not sure that I trust that her trust in HIM will keep her from continuing to suspect him based on the hinting from her mother. Also, Zeil and Orthos are in the middle of cleaning out this ruined castle when they come across a room full of dead bodies, and after clearing that level they encounter an ACTUAL dragon. Uh oh....

Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, there's far more devastation within Thera's community than I wax expecting. In fact, saying "within the community" is suggesting there's still a community at all after what happens, and that's barely true. Meanwhile we get a really fascinating conversation between Jia and Zomi, and I can't help but be impressed with Jia despite the fact that she's clearly planning on doing something monstrous. Thanks for listening, and I will s...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! The ending of this book is so jam-packed that I think I failed to do it justice, but I really tried! There's just so much to talk about, and so many small moments that tied some things together, or made me ask questions that I can't wait to be answered in the next book. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

He sends Yerin off with the Sage Of Red Faith, and Zeil and Orthos go off into that bizarre frozen landscape to find remnants and power that was left behind by legends. Meanwhile, Mercy is evacuating from the attack of the Titan, and the intensity of this battle is really different from the previous attacks by Dreadgods ...

Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, we've got Thera once again doing the thing where she assumes that Dara's way of doing everything is superior to the Agon way, and gets schooled completely by an elder as a voice painting is made for the first time. Meanwhile, Timu decides to find his spine at the exact wrong time and causes a deep division in the Lyucu, resulting in the hardliners being led by Cutanrovo to commit further atrocities.

These are the chapters in which Shera has to deal with the uncertainty of Calder's body being missing, and I find out that Meia seems to have had nothing to do with the Imperialists knowing Shera's plan. In flashbacks, we find out what the reaction of the Regents is to being woken up in the manner they were...and Yala is in the hotseat.

This is the episode where Shera puts her plan to take Calder down into action, and attacks him in the building behind where he's allegedly giving a speech. Turns out that was a body double (or at least that's what Shera thinks) and she's very confident that she's got the real Calder when she kills him. Turns out she's wrong, but she's CERTAIN she's got the right one the second time. Hmm. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new e...
