Anytime someone says Aeor, I only think “I’m Bolo, from Aeor”

God...The Flando withdrawal is killing me more than I realized.

@HailHydra27 2 years ago

This just confirms my theory: they have enough passive income to not need sponsors but they do reads just as enrichment for Sam

Travis reacting to lore with a little dance is one my favourite things. He's so excited.

Orym: Fearne collects a lot of pets and boyfriends.
Ash [“unfazed”]: mm-hmm.

“Dominox feeds on insecurity.”
“We're fucked.”

Matt casually introducing a huge ANCIENT big bad while the party is chasing down the current big bad. God I love this show

@BrunoHenrique-gi1wd 2 years ago

its such a shame that Robbie killed Sam for a spot in the show... im sure Sam's family must be devastated, and i also miss him, but this new fella is very good at his role

1:29:21 "pretend I'm a feather in my head and whoosh down"

I love the idea that this is how Fearne casts every spell. She just plays a little pretend in her head and suddenly she's a cute little animal, or a feather on the breeze, or a firestorm.

Matt: "Dominox feeds on insecurities"

Me, the cast, the gods, and everyone in every realm: "Well... we're fucked" 🤣😂

Taliesin somehow knowing trivia about how to properly kill scorpions by stepping on them is one of the most Taliesin moments

Essek w the nein: I will only used spells such as magic missile and no AOE spells since I don’t want to hurt my friends

Essek w the hells: 36 damage take it or leave it

@Unchecked_Door 2 years ago (edited)

With all the smiling dead people, why are they not getting more afraid that “have a smiley day” means something other than the way FCG used it?

@treymarcum 2 years ago (edited)

Stay strong Flando. Don’t let YT win

@internettevarolanadam 2 years ago

Using a greater demon to power your furnace and changing its spawn points for repated use is really fucked up. No wonder gods smited down the Aeor. They were playing modded minecraft irl.

@Jango1989 2 years ago

Critters let's make this happen!

Given everyone trusts and loves our lord and saviour Flando and YouTube is being a meany, can we please petition CR to include his amazing timestamps in the vod description please? For example, perhaps he could send them to a CR member to upload them to the description.

I love that Essek is essentially "Matt gets to play too"

@joshuastrittmatter4188 2 years ago

“This place…feeds on magic.”

Delilah: sweats nervously

“Dominox…feeds on insecurities.”

Delilah: Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, OH FUCK…

@calotron357 2 years ago

Seeing Robbie's facial expressions upon hearing all these wild details about the party is absolutely hilarious.

Liam - A devil prince has the hots for Fearne.
Robbie - Oh of course mhm....

@kendras8545 2 years ago

The Aeor lore this episode was insane. I know EXU calamity touched on how fucked some of these mage cities during the Age of Arcanum were, but to chain a literal demon to the engine of your city and use his constant death and return to power it is massively dystopian. The sheer, unrivaled hubris of thinking you can control something that powerful indefinitely, without consequence, is mind boggling.

@zuzka6799 2 years ago

Dorian is in the intro! 🙂 Last week I noticed only Robie's name but today I cought Dorian between the other Bells Hells in the end. I am happy they included him!

@AncientSkullKid 2 years ago

I like how Travis casually lays out Ludinus’ plan for the Demon right at very end without realizing it.
Ludinus is definitely trying to absorb that demon.
