When you come home after a fraught few days of research in the wild and a new dirt wizard has moved in….

The year has turned, the snow has paused (it has since resumed) and the #weezerds ventured out for a stroll in the bitter chill of the new dawn’s light.

Behind them, slightly out of focus, is a wintery forest scene: a snowy field leading to a large stump and some tall pine trees against a blue sky.

One last weezerd #shadowgast adventure for the year!

The wizards cancelled their fancy excursion (with a transparent lie that Teleport didn’t work in the bad weather) and had a walk and a nice night in.

Indoors now, small felted toys of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss peer down into a bowl of roasted duck and rice. The bowl is white with blue and gold stripes. Behind them, there is a large bottle of Christmas Gin and a respectably sized gin and tonic with a large wedge of lime.

Finished catching up on #TheMightyNeinAnimated and I have so many thoughts but like 85% of them boil down to:

Baby. Evil, evil baby. Baby (hot) boy. 😌 my baby.

Ok, ok, ok, back with two more thoughts:

One: The lens flare sunspots while Caleb and Nott are walking are pentagon-shaped—like one face of a beacon/so much of the Kryn architecture. Walking into possibility together?

But when I took a picture of the weezerd Essek with my purple cocktail, she offered hers so l could “get a picture with the other one”

No, she has not put together that this Caleb and Essek are the show’s Caleb and Essek. 😂

A small felted toy of Essek Thelyss is just visible under a cocktail viewed from above. The drink has a foam of aquafaba on top with a swirl of purple in it. Small felted toys of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss stand side by side in front of cocktail glasses. Essek’s is an arcane purple swirl and Caleb’s a softer peach with rose petals in it.

The #weezerds venture outside now that the snow has finally stopped! Caleb is bundled up and ready, but Essek would rather be inside with a book and a cat.

small felted toys of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss are outside on a snowy day. They are on a bridge, with a black iron handrail behind them. Beyond is a view of a cold-looking river and a snow-covered, tree-lined slope. Caleb is wearing a scarf; slightly behind him, Essek looks like he’d rather be indoors.

The #weezerds investigate some new Winter’s Crest shapes in the Sun Tree. Caleb takes a tumble; Essek floats down after him. While Fly failed, snowdrift prevailed.

A photo of a tree stark against a cloudy sky. Large ornaments hang from it, including large white balls and snowflakes, a pair of full-sized skis, a brass lantern, and a brass-frame bridge. Snow is mounded on evergreen branches at its base. Small felted toys of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss are posed in a brass framed bridge ornament. It is made of a series of triangles, so also could be a deconstructed beacon? The snow mounded on the ornament is taller than they are. Other ornaments of a star and a snowflake appear at the edges of the picture, with snow and red berries below. The Caleb Widogast toy has fallen on his side in a snowbank. The Essek toy perches on a snow-covered bush above him, looking down with an aura of concern (but maybe also “I told you so.”) A picture of the base of the tree, shrouded in snow. Vivid red berries are heaped in show, and green pine needles provide a bright backdrop.

DO YOU KNOW THIS KRYN?

- makes pookie eyes at Trent
- cannot lie
- walks?!!? voluntarily?!!?
- treason to save a life :C
- knows what hugs are
- knows what friends are

He’s calling himself Essek, but I’m suspicious 😂

in the wake of the season’s first snow, the #weezerds explore a botanical garden to remember what warmth and growing things are like. Essek has new ambitions for the scale of his orchids.

In a similar composition to the first picture in the thread, a small felted toy of Essek Thelyss contemplates the famous Bean in Chicago. He is turned almost fully toward it and is out of focus in the foreground to emphasize the sculpture behind him. His ears droop, perplexed and unenthused The small Essek looks toward the viewer, now in focus with the Bean blurry behind him. Perhaps he is appealing to more knowledgeable art critics. Perhaps he is annoyed because he really wanted to have a stylish cloak in Vantablack.

phone brought up a memory of the bean at the bean

Now, Essek may not know Pathfinder’s flavour of transmutation very well, but he thinks this is a weird use of Cloud Shape regardless.

Throwback, uh, Tuesday, to this reminder for gardeners: be sure to check your plants for pests regularly! Lavender is especially susceptible to pairs of small, plotting wizards attempting to nest.

Two little creatures off on an adventure! Stopping to do a little heist on the way.

smell felted toys of Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast from critical role sit in a display of wire-framed dodecahedrons. The vibe is heisty. Another angle of the small wizards with their beacon bounty. They are much smaller than the dodecahedrons on display, and seem to be contemplating how to go about stealing them with this inconvenient fact in mind.

Bonus:

Caleb: Ach, es tut mir leid, Essek, the wind knocked me over :333

Essek: :o
The “wind” cough cough, “knocked Caleb over,” cough, putting him on top of Essek with his face on his chest? Crotch? Difficult to say with a tiny Shadowbean. Essek looks shocked but not unhappy with this development.

After a rainstorm, the weezerds come upon a valuable spell component: the first snowdrops of spring. Essek is entranced; Caleb, too, for different reasons.
