    Idea for a mini series: Unsleeping City: Critters.
    Brian Murphy DMs a story where Kugrash enlists vermin heros to defeat a tiny evil. All the characters have to be the size of a rat or smaller. Rodents and insects, maybe a magical creature or two (how big do you think that excrement elemental is?). And Brennan plays Perry the Paladin Pidgeon, empowered by their undying love (or lust) for Kugrash.

      It gave Kug a moment of redemption that felt so real. He had to make a meaningful sacrifice to make amends for his selfishness. While the ability to lift a curse would have helped his own family, Gabriella and Esther's family could only be healed by an artifact that powerful. Both families were hurt by Kug's betrayal, but it was more important to take advantage of this rare opportunity to repair the deep impact on Gabriella's family.
      This is also a beautiful illustration of the importance of reparations for intergenerational harms perpetuated in the US. A masterful way to tie a moment of character growth into the underlying theme of addressing the systemic, and often racially specific, damage caused by capitalism.

      RBG was most definitely a paladin of Justice. And a righteous woman. She passed on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and even if her life hadn't been a sure sign of the truly righteous hero she was, the day of her passing absolutely way. I'm watching this now, a full year and a month after her passing, and I started tearing up when Brennan said that line, and then again when Ally looked at the camera and made their comment. Zichrona l'vracha. Her memory will _always_ be for a blessing to everyone.
