fandom: M9 is such a disaster while Vox Machina was a well-oiled machine with excellent strategies and flawless execution!

VM:  *find mysterious room in vampire stronghold, proceed to push buttons just for the hell of it until they lock themselves in an empty acid chamber, proceed to start acid flow while the vampires stare on in confused amusement*

#percy: I find that in the absence of good ideas bad ideas usually suffice#me: SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING A KID WHO SOLD HIS SOUL TO A DEMON WOULD SAY#watching through s1 with fandom’s ‘VM was so good and heroic and flawless’ characterization in mind is a WILD RIDE MAN

Bad Take: Beau was right/Caleb was right

Good Take: Both of them had solid reasons to act the way they did. While Caleb is by default the most cautious one of the group and confirming Cali’s intentions was a good move, he also has a history of micromanaging loot, hiding it from the rest of the party or “deciding” who should get what, so Beau intervening in the situation —especially because she knows the most about his past trauma— makes complete sense and is necessary for the party to move forward without constantly second-guessing Caleb’s intentions because of his paranoid/manipulative tendencies. 

My take: I think the person in the wrong in all this was Nott… she initiated the whole thing about hiding the bowl from others and keeps putting Caleb’s goals ahead of the party’s and her worshipping him is getting to a passive-aggressive edge that may blow up on her’s and everyone’s faces in the future if she’s not careful.
