hey sorry we put your players in a time loop. yeah they can only win by learning, and they can only learn by playing. yeah grant o’brien is carboloading next to their podiums. yeah they know that x equals 8 so y must equal 6. no they can’t use the ladder. yeah now they’re doing the wenis. sorry.
Do you have time to talk about labor hero and community leader Chilchuck.
Can we talk about how his employers planned for him to die in an expedition and his takeaway was "shit I have to make sure that doesn't happen to any other half-foot".
How he is portrayed by others as greedy and selfish because of his union (a common way of villainizing unionization), but really it's because he knows how shitty adventurers are to his people and wants to keep them safe (also making money is not a crime, he's got to live damnit).
How later in the manga he realizes that many half-foots will struggle financially and go hungry so he wants to do something about it even thought he just went through a lot of insane shit and probably just wants to see his wife and kids.
How despite the snark and grumpiness you can easily see how he raised three girls in how he tries to talk to Izutsumi and takes care of Marcille's hair for her.
He's a sardonic little bastard but also a genuinely caring guy that wants to help his community thrive.
