Zac tends to play these silly funny characters, but he is one of the most terrifyingly insightful, clever and scarily manipulative players I have ever seen and it is amazing. Giving Zac a position of authority as Lapin is something I as a DM could never work around. He is too smart for me.
Lapin and Skip are two of the characters that, for me, show how good a player Zac really is. Lapin's planning and manipulation skills, and Skip's tactical know-how and efficiency at dispatching hostiles.
His character Pib was honestly a joyride for me to watch as someone who likes small or unassuming but clever archetypes, and Zac absolutely killed it lol [ALSO VERY HUGE SPOILER ALERT: The last episode when Pib took back all the stuff they sacrificed to the Baba Yaga had me smiling so hard- I was so busy being sad about the bittersweet stuff that happened and about what they sacrificed (Ylfa leaving the little girl behind, Gerard sacrificing his name and humanity, Pinnochio deciding to forever live in the wooden body that symbolized his suffering)... then fucking Zac Oyama came in and completely flipped the entire story with an 18 sleight of hand check to steal the magic paper with all of the stuff they sacrificed in it. I loved how it even correlated back to the nature of his stories of always being a little cat that always stole from someone more powerful than him. ("That's why I like you. You and me, in our story, we never learn anything and we never change." - Baba Yaga) really fed the reader's soul in me so thank you for that brennan and zac]
Lapin and Theo's friendship being cut short is one of the biggest tragedies of my life. I wanted to write a 50k post canon epic that ended in their marriage from episode 1.
If I could change one roll/event from A Crown of Candy it would be to save Lapin in the church lol. I wanted to see so much more of where Zack was gonna go with that character because he was such an outlier from his other D20 characters lol. Compared to sweet boy Gorgug and Ricky the himbo, Lapin was such a big switch up that got cut down too early :(
Ok but Lapin WAS bold, by jumping in front of Liam he was bold and it was for the Rocks family that he didn’t even know if it was worth it to be bold for. Anyway I’m crying
Watching the supercut, I realized that in the span of those 6 episodes Lapin had only taken damage from 3 sources, jumping off of the wagon, Amethar’s rage aura, the three hits from Keradin’s mace, and then the final blow from Keradin that kills him. The fact that the only damage he has taken were all done in the service of helping others makes me even more sad about his death than I was before
i’ve watched this whole season several times and so many of these lines/scenes still make me either laugh out loud or cry uncontrollably. every death in this season rocks me to my core, but lapin’s work both before and long after death, his astute and brave choices, his quiet kindness....it makes him one of the greatest characters of all time, period.
Maybe spoilers I just realized that when we first see the Sugarplum Fairy (SPF), shes very direct in talking to Lapin, but when Cumulous meets her and in all other scenes, she feigns full innocence, not convincingly because everyone knows shes powerful as hell. It's interesting after watching the whole season to see videos like these and see the little things Brennan did to conserve continuity. The SPF was direct with Lapin because he KNEW how powerful she was and was dealing with her for his whole life. But when anyone else meets her its scarily sweet.
I’m sorry but the chemistry Theo and Lapin had was so good, whatever way you interpret it. It’s like the other side of the extreme spectrum that Theo had with Gooey, and it’s so good. I miss their bickering and tag team side missions.
A Crown Of Candy was such a cool switch I mean, Murph is usually the garbage gremlin, yaknow? Kugrat and rik, Zac is usually the strong character, mr March and gorgug This season they were so different from what they usually go for, and I think that’s a reason why it was so iconic (that and zac is just too powerful with a character with good wisdom and intelligence)
it was so ridiculously fun and emotionally fulfilling to follow Lapin's arc. I shared Theo's impatience and annoyance, Jet's distrust, but watched Lapin say and do everything right and gasped extremely loudly when other characters would misspeak. it was exhilarating to watch Lapin win the day and then just cried to watch him prove his loyalty in his last moments. It's wild to think about how this is all improv with all the foreshadowing, running themes, and very satisfying character arcs.
Just adding my fav moments here 1:03 like an old married couple 2:28 bamboozled 5:58 mending 6:38 sure, yes of course 8:31 old man leaping off of a wagon 8:50 for bulbia 9:24 👐 owe the king your life 9:49 That felt mean 10:48 shut up 12:54 never had a teacup 13:12 Liam 14:12 I don't feel comfortable 18:36 relax 20:46 message 24:21 aw this is fucked, Are you calling me a liar, Where is your bulb now 27:59 My King moments: 3:36 13:35 just a little touch 15:35 not a short guy 23:11 We're all going to die 7:55 11:43 a heavy dream 12:25 20:38
Poor zac when his caracter died i felt so bad for him and the rest of the team as that episode zac had so much bad luck with rolls that episode absolutely heartbreaking 💔
It was a great season but *I guess spoiler* Liam was fun and the switch to war guy was great but I wish lapin had lived instead. He was definitely the best character.
