now that we’ve gotten to see a lot more of davenport it’s really funny to think that he’s just… like that. like how he acted on the pirate ship? that’s how he was for the whole stolen century. it explains. so much
it also explains why lucretia was like that as the director. this is who she was taking leadership cues from
[ID: Digital drawings of Captain “The Admiral” Anara. She is a human woman with brown skin and a curvy build. Her waist-length, sea green locs are decorated in jewels, seaweed and seashells. She is wearing a bright red admiral’s Jacket, over a brown corset, a ripped, light blue blouse and black trousers. She has a decorative green scarf and big brown belt around her waist. She has a lot of earrings and is strapped with scabbards. The left drawing shows her posed with one had on her hip and weilding a scimitar with the other. The right drawing is a portait of her giving a smirk. End ID]
only here roughly 20 minutes but already one of the coolest npcs

DAVENPORT VINDICATION BABYYYYYY THANK YOU BASED GRIFFIN!
God this is exactly what I’ve wanted since the high seas adventure live show. So happy to get some Davenport characterization. I hope Lucretia features prominently as an NPC though because a reunion arc really needs her to be apart of the story.
Loving Aabria’s DMing so far! I haven’t watched her other shows but I feel like TAZ is in good hands and that she’s done her research!
A ten year time skip is great too because post-canon stories have always interested me; there’s so much to dig into there. The boys have ended up in a place that feels about right, ten years really isn’t too long for them so nothing hugely dramatic has changed since the live shows, though Taako probably has some stuff going on that he’s hiding. Glad that Griffin thought of the Lucretia-Davenport awkwardness inherent in their relationship now but the Taako-Lucretia awkwardness didn’t come up so I wonder if that’s going to be explored at all.
Um I love that Magnus doesn’t train his dogs like with commands and a clicker or something normal, but is actually running an adventurer boot camp where the dogs are like running drills and doing combat lol
The evolution of Susan as a background character is surprising but not unwelcome and also she and Taako have just been locked in a passive aggressive stalemate for a full decade. Kravitz the most patient man in the world right in the middle.
Oh, lastly, the glee on Griffin’s face when he realized Aabria figured out how to take the RFPSoD away from Magnus for this campaign.
OK I’m sure I missed some thoughts but I’m just excited for more! We get more guys! Can you believe we actually get more?? Oh boy. I just hope we get a good dose of Lup and Barry as well Hopefully. We’ll see. I don’t even know what the plot of the story even is yet lol but WE WILL SEE
Edit: oh one more note. Fanfic writers thank Aabria for making smart phones a canon thing so you don’t have to shrug and say that the Stone of Farspeech has like texting and a camera too lmao
hi griffin having davenport choose to go back to the starblaster is both a fucking brilliant character choice and also so unbelievably sad i will be thinking about it for weeks
Gently thinking about how Griff confirmed that Davenport felt uncomfortable around Lucretia because yeah she did brainwash him for 12 years, and stuck by his point when Aabria tried to say it was just the voidfish. Of course Lucretia probably felt horrible about it but she still did it.
So forgive me if “haven’t we earned a little wrath” Davenport is a little slow to forgive Lucretia for literally turning him into a Pokémon. I’m so greatful he brought it up because it made me low-key uncomfortable for so long that people jsut think he would immediately forgive her, and forget the fact that literally as soon as story and song ended he got on his boat and immediately left to get away from her and the bureau and find himself again because his whole self got taken.
I said that Davenport wouldn’t forgive her if he was a playable character instead of an NPC, I stand by that, and I was proven right. Gn ✌️
(may have to click for better quality) Imbalance was so much fun I’d love to see so so much more of it, but it was nice just having a little more content with Dav :)
Spicy lil Cap'nport I’m working on because I’ll be damned if I didn’t do anything now I’ve got content for him. Everyone leave now because this is all I’m gonna be talking about for the next month lmfao-
