Fireside Chat for WWW ep15 "Hold On Tight"
Added 2023-10-31 09:09:00 +0000 UTCErika joins us from the road (fun new timbre!), while Brennan is LOST in the equatorial marsh of deepest Panama. We are back and the chat is STACKED with loving and constructive dialogue from ITS PARTICIPANTS. Lou got two JET SKIS. Hold on tight, friends and lovers.

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

Juliet Mylan
2023-12-29 02:29:34 +0000 UTCOkay 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 !!
Ruvi
2023-12-16 14:06:45 +0000 UTCI love that Erika was so suspicious of Silver immediately upon mentioning him. That's best friend vibe for sure.

Miriam
2023-11-30 18:44:15 +0000 UTCCan I just say how much I enjoy these firesides? I feel like I'm sitting on facetime laughing with my pals!
Katharine Smith
2023-11-28 19:57:33 +0000 UTCIs 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.
Robert Harrington
2023-11-23 18:29:16 +0000 UTCSorry, but I'm a inveterate worried older parent... be careful on those! Older Jet-Skis are less stable then the newer kind.

Suzieqred
2023-11-19 00:14:18 +0000 UTC(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?
Ashley Teatum
2023-11-18 23:47:19 +0000 UTCI really need a meme of Lou's "It's funnyyyyy."
Karen
2023-11-14 03:06:08 +0000 UTCI 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."
Carrie Mook Bridgman
2023-11-13 15:32:28 +0000 UTCOK, 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.
Michelle Karey-McKenna
2023-11-13 07:25:04 +0000 UTCHe 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.
Carrie Mook Bridgman
2023-11-12 00:40:04 +0000 UTCSo I can hear all the fun little things that get cut

Merissa McClure
2023-11-08 02:48:46 +0000 UTCWhat do they MEAN it would be sad to be on a JetSki by yourself?? It would be funny
Zander Jenkins
2023-11-06 03:15:53 +0000 UTCNow he doesn't have to walk the coasts, he can ski
Matthew McDowell
2023-11-05 18:30:14 +0000 UTCThank you! I expected that to be more difficult for some reason lol. Also more wholesome, but hey 😂.

2023-11-04 15:17:33 +0000 UTCOh my God I just looked this up and it feels like I get it 😄 🤣
Melody Snow
2023-11-04 13:48:27 +0000 UTCGoogle "fox eagle rabbit" and you will get it from every angle
Theo Vařák
2023-11-04 08:15:41 +0000 UTCThe 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!
Jade
2023-11-04 03:02:17 +0000 UTCBrennan escaped captivity again
Zander Jenkins
2023-11-04 02:18:35 +0000 UTCThe real question: where is the picture of the fox, hawk/eagle, and bunny?
Olivia Buse
2023-11-04 00:52:43 +0000 UTCHe 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.
Emma Runswick
2023-11-03 08:39:19 +0000 UTCThere 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
2023-11-02 21:58:38 +0000 UTCDrawing 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
2023-11-02 21:56:07 +0000 UTCIt's pronounced "bomb-bar-dee-ay" 🚤
Chris Newport
2023-11-02 21:52:47 +0000 UTCNot 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
2023-11-02 20:46:18 +0000 UTCLoved 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."
Allie Mancuso-Healy
2023-11-02 20:43:25 +0000 UTCAnd in that note, if Lou stopped Brennan from romancing the Stone, would that mean he rock blocked him? 🤔
Martian
2023-11-02 13:23:06 +0000 UTCRomancing the Stone should be about a bard attempting to seduce a comely earth elemental
Martian
2023-11-02 12:25:31 +0000 UTCyes no eagle had me CACKLING at work
Jeremy Baxter
2023-11-02 12:20:51 +0000 UTCWe 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?
Ric Freeman
2023-11-02 09:40:46 +0000 UTClooks like the wolf character from double fine's broken age
fayfrantic
2023-11-01 21:00:21 +0000 UTCi died laughing the entire yes/no eagle segment, one of the alternate universe familiars of all time

Finnley!
2023-11-01 17:44:38 +0000 UTCLou 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 💖💕
Lara
2023-11-01 17:29:20 +0000 UTCI think this was my favourite fireside yet!
Maya Asheim Breidablik
2023-11-01 17:20:40 +0000 UTCLou - if you do renovate those sea-doos, _please_ tiktok the process!! That would make an awesome series.
Nick
2023-11-01 17:09:41 +0000 UTCExcept Lou has played an old guy on NADDpod campaign 2 and Jabari was still way too hot.
The Silversmith
2023-11-01 16:01:19 +0000 UTC“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

2023-11-01 13:19:21 +0000 UTCI feel like Erika and Lou did not give “uroboromance” the hype it deserved

Al
2023-11-01 11:01:45 +0000 UTCdespite 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
bails
2023-11-01 10:38:42 +0000 UTCIn my personal headcanon The Stranger is played by Taliesin Jaffe, Erika pls confirm this vibe
Hex Sharpe
2023-11-01 07:06:05 +0000 UTCHahahahahaha 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.
Lojaan
2023-11-01 06:24:36 +0000 UTCAfter 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.
abardnamedkate
2023-11-01 05:35:52 +0000 UTCOh 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
Sil
2023-11-01 04:11:22 +0000 UTCThe 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!

2023-10-31 22:12:29 +0000 UTCSo, anyone else see the Eagle familiar as just Eursulon walking around talking to a monosyllabic Sam the Eagle from The Muppets? … no? Just me?

2023-10-31 20:39:52 +0000 UTCAs 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!
Craig Pate
2023-10-31 20:33:15 +0000 UTCI am so invested in what will hopefully become the Lou and the Jet ski revival saga.
James Murtha
2023-10-31 20:02:25 +0000 UTCBig thanks to Lou Wilson for the real solid he's doing all the girlies.

Meghan Lewis
2023-10-31 12:57:43 +0000 UTCSo 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.
