Talks Machina 143 (C2E96) - Caleb on Jester

Question: “At the end of his talk with Yasha several episodes ago, Caleb had a very strong reaction that we’ve never quite seen before. Can you tell us a bit of what was going through his mind at that moment? What was it about her statement, ‘I don’t need to tell you who,’ that affected him where her initial question did not? And what was going through your mind, as a player and as an actor?”

"The whole top table failed their charm save against Jester."

Let's be fucking real, Dani Carr. The *entire* fandom, and 90% of the people who have ever met her, completely failed their charm save against Jester.

Campaign 2 is one big harem anime and Jester is the unknowing protagonist

2:02 
Liam: Well, he's a little in love with Jester Lavore -
Dani: squeak

Me: (after rewatching n times) same, Dani, same 😭

[L-Puffin]

I'm still processing that this happened
LIAM SAID WIDOJEST RIGHTS AND THAT'S THAT ON THAT ON THAT

[blazypika]

honestly, i suspected he has a crush on jester since episode 4. she told him he should wash himself and while his response was that he's good, soon after he asked the barmaid about the location of the city's bathhouse.

On one and Jester.
On the other, Caleb and Jester.











I can't make up my mind, do I have to cut off my hands.

[basic]

sometimes, sadly, you love someone so much that you're fine not being with them. seeing them do their own thing, even to the extent of being with someone else.

[cosplayannie]

And even 7 months later, before the possible end of the world, Caleb can't imagine his life without Jester.

"You, Caleb. If you survive and I don't."
"Well, that will not happen."

💔

[MazorKuziaki]

It was so sad to see Caleb's reaction to realizing Jester and Fjord are a thing now.

[darthcarnage]

Here’s the thing... I don’t think I’ve ever shipped any couple in fiction (I’ve loved couples portrayed in fiction, but not shipped two people who were not in a couple). This is the first ship I’ve had. And I want it so much!

[vaellietheangel]

s- watching this is me seeing caleb talking down on himself and his love problems and Molly/Cad sitting there like "good lord man couldya just-"

[Rviere]

The waltz was a pebble for me too, hahaha, so I've been right there with Caleb the whole time. SOMEHOW, my partner has shipped them since episode one, lmao. Regardless, just wish them all happiness

[daniward]

lbr, EVERYBODY fails a charm save against Jester

[transcatgirl]

Caleb has recently been more....open. hes doing all sorts of nice things for the m9 but especially jester

[cmrobbins]

With Jester being done with Traveler Con and Beau "pursuing" Yasha, and it's gonna come down to what happens with Caleb, Fjord, and Jester by the end of the campaign, should they survive.

Caleb still has Trent Ikithon to deal with, and there some hints that he may have to confront him even if he doesn't pursue vengeance, because Astrid may be on the same path that he was originally on, and his feelings for her might have him end up facing the Trent. There's also Caleb's "pet project".

Fjord is still learning to be the Paladin of a new deity, but there's been signs that Uk'utoa is still pissed at him what with the previous skirmish on the seas that almost killed him. And he has his goal of travelling the world as long as possible and helping the down-trodden, whether that's with the Mighty Nein or as a nomad of The Wild Mother. If Uk'utoa is still held off, Fjord is going to be certain of his feelings of where his path heads next.

I think that in the end it's gonna come down to Jester and what she wants. She's still discovering herself and on the journey of becoming the woman she's meant to be. Her entire identity has been finding her father and trying to reunite her family, and find a sense of belonging which has mainly been with The Mighty Nein now that the Traveler cult has been all but dispersed. She still has more to learn about what kind of person she is and if she's going to continue to cling to keeping the Nein together or finally find herself as the layers of her identity continue to tear away.

[DarkStorm]

On one hand, Caleb and Jester
On the other hand, Caleb and Essek

What do i do

[veronicaszender]

O THIS HURTS DIFFERENT AFTER THIS WEEKS EPISODE

[VonRibbitt]

Well, this ship is officially dead, canon.

F

[Damianweibler]

I would have given my left big toe to hear that conversation played out in game rather than hidden in the subtext.
And my right one if he and Fjord had had a jealous fight over her at an innopportune moment, too

[Hincident]

yo i have those exact same tetris shoes
