Toni

Lael Newton

Jack O Neill

I was on a public bus in the middle of Ecuador, so if my reactions to the rest of the episode weren’t drawing attention, me nearly going through the roof at this part certainly did.

Sofia marcelli

Oh my god I’m losing my mind this is so insane holy cannoli

Teeven322

I’ve been thinking about this scene all day, pretending to do my job and be a functioning adult😩

Amelia Tedesco

Danica’s work is ALWAYS impeccable! I think I would pass away at an expanded version of this. Edit: also HOW DID THIS GET MADE SO FAST?! I forgot about time when I first wrote this. Holy forking shirtballs.

Zoe Isabella

The drop in my stomach from the sound of her footsteps AGHH!! Thank you to the WBN team, I treasure this story with all my heart and I’m so excited and sad to see this chapter close soon 😭💕

Cristina

FUCK GUYS THIS IS FIRE

The Wizard star

Somone pay Danica all the money so we can have a animated show

Cody Zimmer

FUCK! I spotted Steel as a big bad, basically from the beginning, and I assumed Steel had killed Suvi's parents pretty early on. STILL! Brennan! Fuck! 😭

Lee

Oh my godsssss 😩😩

Stone Pengelly

Oh my F@$&. It’s so chilling, and so good!!! Reminds me of the after credits, where we first meet Sir Curran serving in The Man in Black

Where 👏 is 👏the👏 Kickstarter 👏for the new drop out animated series the Wizard the Witch and the Wild one? I recognize dropout probably isn't actually the right distributer and this cast is already so busy but y'all I want to see this animated so bad.

L J

*Incoherent screaming*

Debs

I cannot even.

Sandro Abate

We need to talk about this abrupt cliffhanger ending. I was left 🥺 There was no outro. I thought my podcast download was missing the ending. This episode should come with a coupon for BetterHelp.

Jul Staple

DO NOT WATCH if you haven't listened to the episode two days ago. This includes BIG spoilers.

Ashley

!!!!!!!!

Scrumbo

AHHHHHHHHH!!!! CALLED IT! Ever since the children's adventure I've been waiting for this secret to be revealed. I'm going crazy! I need a talk back NOW😭😭😭😭😭

Schnuschka

HOW very dare! I just got down from all the Adrenalin two days ago. T.T

Mei

OH MY GOD

OhHeyJDK

Pat & Heather

The *menace* that Brennan can conjure with that voice...

OhHeyJDK

Jonathan Riley

One of the most chilling and heartbreakingly gorgeous moments of this entire season!

OhHeyJDK

Amphiby

Lulu

SO FAST!! I am still screaming, my eyes are watering all over again, thank you for the marvelous heartbreak!

El

Fucking CHILLS

Wren

I got chills and they're multiplying!!!!!

Obi Cortes

I felt so vindicated by the end of the episode. Since Steel went to pick Suvi up from Grandmother Ren's cottage at the end of the children's adventure my instincts told me she had betrayed Soft and Stone and lead to their deaths. To finally find out I was right over two years later made me so giddy.

MillerGeek Art

I just wanna know how Steel knew where she was, covered in non-detection

The Wizard Sparrow

Metaphorical dagger in the heart😳🔥🦊. The white scars on the dark figure in the bedroom is phenomenal 🤗❤️

Genna

WELL I've been listening to the episode on repeat, so now I'll just queue this up for the end. Y'all are truly wizards ✨

The Wizard Sparrow

Welcome to the WWW Support Group…my name is Wizard Sparrow and I’m not okay 😂🔥🦊

Lara

OOOUUUGHHHHH THE MENACING FOOTSTEPS THE GLOWING EYE THE SCARS AUGHHHHH

Kwyn Meagher

My only question is Suvi dead now?

The Wizard Sparrow

I got some tuition money coming this Fall…Let’s Goooo

sylvie aurelia meadows

potentially something as simple as just being able to track Task, since it was initially a citadel construct. either way, brennan is arguably the best in the biz at catching small actions or lack thereof and using them for narrative beats later on. or maybe Steel just checks the hideout from time to time while Suvi isn't in line of sight.

Cosmo Reynolds

I have been listening back to the children's adventure, and the moment where Suvi is like "what happened? Please tell the truth." And then STEEL GIVES THIS VAGUE AS FUCK ANSWER THAT CONTAINS NO ACTUAL INFORMATION

The Wizard Sparrow

That caught my eye (no pun intended) and it’s now seared into my fantasy brain😳⚡️

Princess of the North Cosplay

I don't know if I've ever been more excited for a Fireside episode than an actual story episode before. But I appreciate feeling SO VINDICATED at my suspicions that started in Arc 1. (My pets did not appreciate how loudly I voiced my appreciation lol)

Hex

I can't BELIEVE they expect us to wait two weeks for the next ep after this. Diabolical

Liz

I can’t remember if this was addressed in-episode, but was there a chance Suvi or the fox accidentally triggered an alarm spell? Or could there have been some other divination placed on the hideout, making Suvi’s nondetection irrelevant?

Liz

Yeah, and you aren’t sure if she’s being vague so as not to traumatize Suvi or she’s pulling an Aes Sedai and talking around it because telling the whole truth implicates her in their deaths.

RuviGaPo

IM SO NOT OKAYYYYYYYY

Liz

I guess it’s mostly a couple illustrations with some pan effects rather than a full animation with moving figures, so that probably made it a little quicker to produce!

Donald Chambliss Jr.

I need the last episode now!! How dare you leave me on a cliffhanger like that! Lol

Tommy Battaglia

A new, quite huge oof after a few years of smaller oofs. A new , huge, one-two punch, even.

Casey Furtado

Okay wow! I haven’t even finished #52 yet but I couldn’t help but slightly spoil myself cause I could see the community BUZZING and I am so stoked to catch up. I have LITERAL chills!

The wizard Sober

I repeat: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Clare Robertson-Quinn

If Eoreign (sp?) knew about the flat there’s no reason Steel wouldn’t also have known about it, and Steel knows Suvi met him because she let slip the “this world has a hard time remembering what’s real” line in Lucent.

Izer

"I won't survive another disappointment" Let's make that official, yeah?

Andrew M

How did Danica do this so fast? Is she a wizard?

danielle

I NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME TO DUCK BEFORE YOU THROW BRICKS AT MY HEAD

Austin

And then probably another year or 2 for the next book 😩

Ina

How did you make that so quickly?! Amazing! Beautiful!!

nathan

the wizard Swift

Jack Huber

Rude. Uncalled for. Beautiful. Holy shit this was done fast. Also Brennan if you kill Suvi

Jonathan Larson

Gut punch after gut punch after gut punch after gut punch

Alex Willging

Clearly Danica is a Witch of the Speedy Pen because wow that's fast! Excited for next week!

The Wizard Strike

It’s just two drawings. still done quite fast tho! especially considering the editing time

Aabria Iyengar

Fun Fact! The conversation where Steel tells Suvi her parents are dead *begins* with six year-old Suvi asking Steel if she's okay while running her fingers over the scars left by her mother's Inflict Wounds.

Abby Smith

Screaming crying throwing up

firozah.com

i’m not having fun with that fact!!!!

Annabel Mont

I just want to say, Iv had steels number from the childrens adventure. Js steels story painted sky's parents as heros oh the citadel. but then he kept learning that soft and stone bucked again the citadela every step. Also the line in chapter 2 were steel was like he would kill you as you are now. Sooooooo okay the one person in your story who could give suvy the other side of what happened.

Lacey

FUCK

Charlie Foxleigh

My heart dropped when I heard this and seeing it makes chills run through my spine!

Spore Zealot

Have we reached Aabria crying in the fetal position yet? Seriously, how much more can we all take.

CarpeBootium

Where TF is Uncle Wolfy when he’s needed?

Louis Magallanes Jr.

Suvi is. But its possible that Steel know about the place and left wards or charms to alert her if she was there

Sean Britcher

The devil is quick but fandom is quicker.

Louis Magallanes Jr.

Steel used Suvi to break the wards, betraying mother Wren, Suvi, and Ami. Ami floating in the air for in RAGE was poetic… i need Suvi to see that…

The Wizard Subjudice

Thought about this after second listen through and wanted to do an Eursalon and kool-aid man through a wall.

The Wizard Subjudice

Hmmm... Witch of the Whirling Quill? Whooshing writing instrument?

Theo Lee

Someone wondered the same thing on Tumblr and Aabria gave a very long, detailed response. Basically, Suvi is a tactician who has already shown how she can win unwinnable fights. And while her story is tragic, it is not a tragedy. Sooooo I'm excited to see how she tacticians herself out of this!

Brittany K

I definitely didn't just scream while listening in the car. Nope that didn't happen

hermitbadger

If Steel is being affected by a Heartseeker curse, and Ame was cursed by Steel (and the Citadel)....whose heart was the curse originally SUPPOSED to find? When being cast upon the Witches of The Worlds Heart?

Margo

Says a lot that Suvi has taken pains to keep Suvi alive with a pristine reputation all this time, too. Suvi might want Steel dead, but Steel wants Suvi under her thumb.

Gavin Green

Also AMAZING name tag I have to say

Queen Motoko

I think I need to read books in the same way I listened to this podcast. Slowly, hopping back chapters- not immediately advancing. Wondering what is going to happen and not just speeding to it

Jo Michelle

I’m so glad I listened to this on alone on a walk outside, because I definitely swore multiple times through this episode! 😱

Faith Price

Shouted "oh FUCK!" as I was driving and my stomach dropped through my asshole

Emily C

Is it fun tho???

WiseCapo

Right, like we know steel is bad and definitely had a part in suvis parents death (if not did the killing herself) we have known that from the jump. But SENDING SUVI to KILL WREN AND CURSE AMI!!!! That's crazzzyyy

Razzy Razz

I happenstance-ily started listening to the Children’s Adventure recently, and um in episode 8 and Steel showed up, and then I WATCHED THIS AND NOW EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT!

John Clontz

"No more secrets, right? So I'll give you this for free: your ass is grass, Steel, and it's time to mow the lawn."

Alex Willging

Whirling Quill is way better! ☺️

Sean Boyce

This to me has the same vibe as your face when asking Brennan about his favorite GM snacks In the Exandria roundtable. And I love it.

Arthur Downer

This post should probably be spoiler tagged like the fox and broom post. Great animatic, completely changed my first episode 53 listen

Obi Cortes

It's funny. When I listened to that episode of the children's adventure, over two years ago, this is exactly what I thought had happened. My gut feeling was that Steel cause Soft and Stone's deaths.

Chippercrow

OH MY GOSH WE GOT ANOTHER ANIMATIC?!? And SO FAST?! We’ve been BLESSED damn! Gosh I love this story!!

Molly Hebert-Wilson

Regarding this scene, respectfully, Brennan, WHAT THE FUCK?!?

Molly Hebert-Wilson

(Feeling like a real dingus for accidentally deleting my silly comment and then reposting it)

FoxMoth Oak

NOOOOOOOO mommy steel tho 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔 what if we just like don't tho lol

The Wizard Seeker

It does say something along the lines of “from WWW ep. 53”, in fairness.

Bog Station: Remembrance

Cue electric guitar as Suvi turns: she suddenly has a sweat band around her head, two really big guns, and sunglasses. A cigarette hangs from her mouth.

Ician

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Nefeli

Mother Daughter lipsynch for your life goes crazyy

bexcx

such beautiful art!!! ahhhhh what a moment!!!

William F Schar

I feel very justified in my suspensions of Steel early on. I was pretty sure she betrayed her parents and made a deal for her own life and family, and Suvi's to the court of whispers during the Citadel Arc. I think it was the moment we learned her dad freed spirits, it clicked into place. But As soon as we met Yoren (sp?) in the cave it confirmed my that I knew what she did. I have been eagerly awaiting for this confrontation every episode, knowing it was coming since then.

Kamuraki

The rules Gremlin in my head is running through how many levels of exhaustion Steel currently has, and wondering what spells Suvi could cast to get out of there. Does she have Expeditious Retreat?

Kamuraki

Yes, she might take at least an attack of opportunity, which given this is Steel could be lethal, but at 3 or 4 levels of exhaustion, Steel is swinging with massive penalties and at disadvantage.

nk

The Man In Black has competition. Those boots are terrifying.

nk

for me it was the two worst possible failures to convince Sworn to run

Devon

Steel told Suvi to come here to get into this secret library space so she could access it herself and potentially kill Suvi and get at whatever was in here. Ready for this bitch to die.

Lux ❤︎

Steel’s complete moral bankruptcy and lack of integrity?? SICKENINNNNNG* *(literally)

Lux ❤︎

Feeding your horde of emotional masochists well this week 🤝

Lux ❤︎

Suvi is Adora, Steel is Shadoweaver but committed to the delusion that she is righteous

Lux ❤︎

This is like realizing your mom is actually a serial killer who murdered your real parents & then decided to make you a pet project.

Kael McDonald

And this, friends, is why you don't pivot from your original story just because fans were guessing it! It isn't about some blindsiding TWIST, it's about how you get there, and DAMN did it get there. Flawless execution.

CSN

Suvi should be named the Wizard Skeleton-key the way she works as Steel's universal all-access backstage pass!

CSN

Is it like that, or is it is that?

Skeletal Cleric

If you see an animatic that says in the description that it's from an episode you haven't seen yet, and you don't have the since to know that if they animated it it's probably an important scene, because it doesn't say ****SpOiLeR WaRnInG WeEWoOwEeWoO**** That's on you.

Sam Berry-Sullivan

Just shut my car off a beat after the last word and screamed a few times

The Wizard Subjudice

Agreed, I just had a "Witch of the... Wobbling Willows," moment of my own 😉

Chey

when i listened to this moment for the first time maybe 10-20 mins ago my eye went bug-eyed and i started slapping my leg like WOAH !!!!!

Just_another_queer

I was having major neverafter flashbacks like oh shit close the door behind you

Kit

She's been calling her Suvi, though? Like it was pretty clear that both of Suvi's foster parents were given her real name when Sonder made that joke about "looks like the Suvi's clear today" or whatever

the tangle system

suvi has the sea glass that i hope she uses to get her the fox and task outta there

Kristine K

If there aren't enough hints to start making correct guesses before the very end, I'm losing interest in the story.

Ky

Nah, it says "Who are you going to kill?" In the first line of the description, which is pretty hard to avoid in casual scrolling. I didn't click on it, I was actually scrolling down to get to Ep 53 to listen. And it changed my experience of the episode too.

Ky

That was my immediate thought too! The way Brennan said that line, I immediately thought "Ooh, foreshadowing."

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Yes, they said on the Fireside that the child's pose was in response to the two nat 1's for Sworn.

CarpeBootium

Well we now know the answer to that question
