I find Percy’s comment to Vax about the children “finally finding out how much [he’s] embellishing the memory of you,” while a very Percy quip, to be so telling about Vox Machina’s collective denial about Vax.

Because it’s meant as a quip, a jab like they used to do, the implication being Vax hasn’t changed. But Vax doesn’t react. He has changed. He is not 100% Vax anymore.

None of them, not Vex not Keyleth not Percy, are having a normal conversation with him like old times and talking to the person they knew. But they’re pretending they are. They are clinging to the thing Percy is actively embellishing as the Champion stands in front of him: the memory of Vax.

You know we think the Matron is being incredibly kind but really this is just the godly equivalent of getting a hurricane evacuation warning and letting your cat loose on the street hoping he figures it out, instead of taking him with you

Mr. Mercer was clearly drawing a lot from classical Greek philosophy for Kryn Dynasty terminology; dunamancy, anamnesis. Typhros though has stumped me. Clearly Greek but I haven't been able to figure out a root... until now.

It's just soul imprints guys. Souls got ran through the printer too many times.

ERROR MESSAGE: SOUL OUT OF INK (SORRY ABOUT YOUR SANITY)

More seriously though, I wonder if it's from (or combined with) the Greek týfos, from the Ancient Greek τῦφος (tûphos), defined below, which also appears in Latin as typhus and from there the disease name "typhus fever":

Have typhros, brb turning into vapor and getting up to nonsense

But it's that mysterious R that prevents the clear match in both cases. I thought I'd be clever and swap a consonant for a near cousin sound (in this case voiceless->voiced for T->D) and found this instead:

As you go through each life, your chances of becoming a small chair increase.

I think I've found our missing link.

It's either cheese, chairs, printer error, or typhus fever.

genuinely though, I love lieve’tel just from a symbolic perspective. DEATH is patient, DEATH is kind. death isn’t going to answer any of your questions about “when” or “why” to your satisfaction even though you have them. cryptic motherfucker. she’ll wait thirty years with your name on her lips and then move on to the next beautiful soul—but that doesn’t mean she’s forgotten you. you’re still there in the back of her mind. death comforts those left behind to the best of her weak ability and does not mind as they rage at her. death is soft-spoken and swift to strike and her hands and cold and gentle. when you see her face, death is beautiful. best servant of the raven queen. knocking it out of the park with this one, mr. o’brien.

the pronoun difficulties with xandis being a direct result of matt mercer going "this is tiefling tommy wiseau and they are nonbinary now, respect my artistic vision" to a group of actors for whom tommy wiseau is a real and present strange old man is sort of funny. accidentally engineering a set of circumstances in which your players are trying to juggle the concepts of Multitudinous Gendered Wiseaus.
