I love that literally no one said the words fanfic or smut in this chat 😂 But we all know that’s what’s under discussion

Scarlett Carson
No no. That “hanging with Bradley cooper” Venn diagram got me directly and I love you for it
Rascal
What I learned from this episode is that Grandma Wren is the Queen Diva, Divaest of them all~ 😌
Juliet Mylan
Lol. Me too! I cackled.
Ruvi
Okay so i can't explain Why, but suvi's familiar being a rabbit solves a very specific problem ive had for abt a year now for a project and that feels Great. Aight! Cryptic ruvi Out !!
Beldaran
I love that Erika was so suspicious of Silver immediately upon mentioning him. That's best friend vibe for sure.
Miriam
Are you no longer doing transcripts for the Fireside Chats?
Katharine Smith
Can I just say how much I enjoy these firesides? I feel like I'm sitting on facetime laughing with my pals!
Robert Harrington
Is it odd that I’m so committed to the bit that I get disappointed when Lou said he “isn’t going to be on the next episode”. My brain has fully separated Lou and his special guest stand ins.
MKT
Sorry, but I'm a inveterate worried older parent... be careful on those! Older Jet-Skis are less stable then the newer kind.
Suzieqred
Hot boy winter on those skis!
Ashley Teatum
(1) I need to curséd link, what is the context here and what am I missing and (2) is the fox with human eyes just a red fox? Is there another kind?
Karen
I really need a meme of Lou's "It's funnyyyyy."
Carrie Mook Bridgman
I don't have it quite right, but it was a poem on Grandma Wren's mantelpiece: "With open hands and smiling face, A home of homes would all embrace."
Michelle Karey-McKenna
OK, the witches rhyme had one for all the other witches, but what is the one for the Witch of the World's Heart? The one the other apprentices would have heard.
Carrie Mook Bridgman
He has also commented on the hotness of a male character--can't remember right now who it was. So I am guessing he's bi or pan.
havvin dro
So I can hear all the fun little things that get cut
Carrie Mook Bridgman
WHY?
Lojaan
Oh! Not a racoon - a racoon dog! A tanuki!
Merissa McClure
Hanging with Bradley Cooper lmao Aabria. I'm in that diagram
Zander Jenkins
What do they MEAN it would be sad to be on a JetSki by yourself?? It would be funny
Matthew McDowell
Now he doesn't have to walk the coasts, he can ski
Olivia Buse
Thank you! I expected that to be more difficult for some reason lol. Also more wholesome, but hey 😂.
Melody Snow
Oh my God I just looked this up and it feels like I get it 😄 🤣
Theo Vařák
Google "fox eagle rabbit" and you will get it from every angle
Jade
The idea of The Stranger coming back after that year and a day and doing a death drop... *chef's kiss*. I loved this talkback; I hope Lou can save Brennan!
Zander Jenkins
Brennan escaped captivity again
Olivia Buse
The real question: where is the picture of the fox, hawk/eagle, and bunny?
Emma Runswick
He had somebody else's underwear in his barn early on, and prior to breaking the curse he told Ame and Suvi he had had sex, but I'm not sure we have confirmation of with whom.
Chris Newport
There is a reason things like jetskis and old upright pianos are free. Moving them being a big one, but the potential morass of a project they are likely to be also. That said, hope it's educational and pays off! (Signed: a recovering (?) project addict)
Chris Newport
Drawing from his history with honey, can Eursulon's familiar be "bees"? That's a winged animal of sorts, and a hive mind counts as one, right? 🐝🐝🐝
Chris Newport
It's pronounced "bomb-bar-dee-ay" 🚤
Allie Mancuso-Healy
Not to mention how closely food is associated with ideas of family & home & love, and how Eursulon like, literally may not ever be able to recapture the flavors of his home and family and.... ughhhh, I'm having feelings about this now.
Allie Mancuso-Healy
Loved the convo about Eursulon's "consumption" because honestly, yeah, it's like... a fey thing. The revelry. Mortals getting swept into parties with endless flowing wine and dancing, blinding fairy lights and laughter--- but the mortal realm doesn't really allow for that, because what comes up has to come down outside of the Otherworld. And that sort of thing very specifically doesn't usually work out for mortals, because usually they either dance til they die or non-fairy food tastes like ash and they no longer want to eat and end up wasting away... so it's very interesting to explore what happens to a sidhe/spirit, especially one whose family legacy is about "living well," having that dicotomy that starts from the very beginning with "your honey is quiet."
Martian
And in that note, if Lou stopped Brennan from romancing the Stone, would that mean he rock blocked him? 🤔
Martian
Romancing the Stone should be about a bard attempting to seduce a comely earth elemental
Jeremy Baxter
yes no eagle had me CACKLING at work
Ric Freeman
We know everyone is warn for Eursalons form, but has it been confirmed if he would like to do the sex, and if so, with who?
fayfrantic
looks like the wolf character from double fine's broken age
fayfrantic
i died laughing the entire yes/no eagle segment, one of the alternate universe familiars of all time
lunarsummer
I absolutely love that headcanon!!
lunarsummer
MY GODS that's good. I adore that
Maria Ferraguto
If the stranger is honey balenciaga then Mirrara is Dominique Jackson

Human Fox gives Spike from cowboy bebop for me
Finnley!
Lou’s Yes/No bald eagle familiar reminds me of Saga’s Lying Cat
Finnley!
😭😭😭 I love this
Lara
Lou Wilson you are the coolest person ever for seeing two free sea-dos and going "yeah i can fix them" These fireside chats are so delightful, thank you all 💖💕
Maya Asheim Breidablik
I think this was my favourite fireside yet!
Nick
Lou - if you do renovate those sea-doos, _please_ tiktok the process!! That would make an awesome series.
The Silversmith
Except Lou has played an old guy on NADDpod campaign 2 and Jabari was still way too hot.
kragonaught
“and post boner, OR bonee!” evokes trans Silver for me, evokes the imagery of wizards of the citadel who are trans having the gnarliest most beautiful gender-affirmation scars
Peter Ellis
Gramma Wren "I am leaving you with a very big, very important job. To help you in this I give you... My Rolodex"
Abbie-Jo
I feel like Erika and Lou did not give “uroboromance” the hype it deserved
Al
"Who among us hasn't bone-downed during grief." Asexuals: *leave the group chat*
bails
despite the vast and unknowable expanse that is my imagination, somehow the only image I can conjure of the boys on seadoos for The Great Panama Escape is Lou wearing normal beachwear, perhaps a jauntily askew safari hat, and Brennan wearing a button-down shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows
Hex Sharpe
In my personal headcanon The Stranger is played by Taliesin Jaffe, Erika pls confirm this vibe
Lojaan
Hahahahahaha no. Ame lacks the guile and self interest to be a fox. Ame-as-familiar is a raccoon. Just as much of a handful as the fox but in a completely different way. If Suvi was a witch her familiar would be a very friendly pug. However, as a wizard, her familiar would be a elderly imp with full disapproving teacher vibes, that encourages her to pursue power at the expense of all else. Wizard familiars are very different to witch familiars. Ursulon's "familiar" will be a sequence of birds that keep flying off because they are just actual birds.
abardnamedkate
After hearing about the different witch covens I really hope that the Witch of the Woodland Green, Hakea, was something like the “blackforager” on Instagram (she is amazing please check her out). But her videos also kinda give me Ame vibes because she is so happy, delightful, and a bit subversive about “modern living.” Either way I’m super down for super nature witch times however they come.
Sil
Oh good, we are acknowledging the fact that Brennan full on nailed the parental role of Ren and I don't have to go back and say that he's 💯 built for being a parent - b/c it felt bloody awkward to say it as a listener and not a player
Brandon Carbaugh
The idea of sitting on a water motorcycle that goes 50mph in THE OCEAN OUTSIDE OF LA, WHICH CONTAINS SHARKS is terrifying to me. But more power to Lou!
Jess
That took me all the way out
Riley Crowder
Unoffical Subtitle: "Those Good Horny Vibes"
Amy Elizabeth Reinhart
So, anyone else see the Eagle familiar as just Eursulon walking around talking to a monosyllabic Sam the Eagle from The Muppets? … no? Just me?
abfg616
Brennan has broke containment
Brendan
Y’all woke up one morning and said “let’s make the only dnd actual play that matters”
Michelle Spurgeon
Hanging with Bradley Cooper *Looks at the camera in A Star is Born*
lunarsummer
I'm gonna be HIGH FOR DAYS ON THIS AHHH
Craig Pate
As a millennial named Craig, it was shocking to hear another one of us being able to host the fireside next time!! Good luck on your quest Lou!
James Murtha
I am so invested in what will hopefully become the Lou and the Jet ski revival saga.
Sara
Big thanks to Lou Wilson for the real solid he's doing all the girlies.
Perverseness
Also, Ursalon as a Paladin deserves Charisma front and center art.
Perverseness
When ursalon gets his horse, what is it going to look like?
Sarah Sutton
How are there people who have not seen Michael Douglas & Kathleen Turner's sizzling on screen romance? They burned bales of cannabis for warmth!

Ron Ron
I need ballroom music when ever "The Stranger" is mention or arrives. I NEED IT!
Tom J
"As we've established, I guess, supposedly, it wasn't funny." I adore the relitigating of this failed bit. XD
Rowan Sauer
The "Sea-Two" joke would have done numbers on NADDPOD. Aabria just had the wrong audience.
Katie Fesenmeyer
Search Eursalon art and in his glamor form is definitely hot boi
Ron Ron

Kendra Baird

Zachary Burkhalter
Ah yes my favorite children's book "Goodnight Lou"
Rachael
Starting hot with Romancing the Stone. I was yelling at you all in my kitchen as you blundered your way through describing it and trying to remember Michael Douglas is the guy in it. Very fun, great movie! One of my favorites! ❤️
havvin dro
Would it ever be possible to release minimally/unedited episodes?
Gwen
From an intial search I think it's To Sweeten the Deal by summerwilde on ao3
Esoteric
Implying that Fabian is "sexy as hell" and Kingston isn't is the most I've ever disagreed with Lou
Perverseness
Is Lou actually Mobius?
Meghan Lewis
TIBETAN FOX DEEPLY UNCOMFORTABLE TO VIEW
Annie the Feywild therapist
Cannot wait to see this mystical art some day
Meghan Lewis
🎶🎷horny take the wheeeEEeel, put it in their hands, cause I could do this on my own, but they gotta know, and I’ll risk it for the chaaaaaance🎷🎶
Lance Carmack
So hearing Lou and Aabria talk about their potential familiar, I immediately thought Lous should represent his admiration for Sir Currin and himself as a wild one. And my first thought was Harpy Eagle. It's an eagle with a crown, and it's MASSIVE.
Meghan Lewis
*shakes fist at The Panamanian Gentleman himself*
Meghan Lewis
Listen, the depths of my sadness halfway through Ame’s memories with Grandma Wren… the legitimate love and grief I felt in knowing her better while also knowing that we can’t go back to visit her NOW
Pip Tarou
Everyone out here lookin' for the hot Eursulon Arc 2 art drop. Ey.
