E28 | Books | Character Arc, Flexible Power and Fluid Morality

Thursday Mar 11, 2021

Sudden changes, like losing a hand, or slow fades, like slowly becoming a drug lord, can all factor into how characters morph throughout their lives. In this episode we dive into what character arcs are and how they can affect the story - for good or for bad. Before all that we get to learn about whiskey and what we have been reading recently! So kick back, put aside the Death Note for a bit, and get ready to learn about how characters evolve throughout a story! Cheers

F3 | "Dragon-Master Hobbits are OP"

Thursday Mar 04, 2021

Fireside and Some Flights, still sounds kinda weird even after 3 episodes! But we do love discussing the things we love and this episode is no different. In this episode we discuss the new Avatar content Nickelodeon is planning on producing, a beautiful game based on one of our favorite books, and answer a few icebreaker questions! So if you have ever wanted to know which whiskey tastes like your leg is being sawed off during the civil war, or what we think about copious amounts of character deaths, hit that play button and listen along!
