I was very pleased with this scene but to be in studio when Derek delivered those lines was something else. He blew the bloody doors off! One take. Done. Goosebumps all round.
Shout out to the ending of 'The Worst of All Evils', which has cemented itself as one of my favourite War Master moments.

I keep coming back to the single-best piece of worldbuilding advice I ever heard, hilariously delivered to a man who was stuck because he hadn't given his hero enough potions to beat the boss: "you're a writer dude, if you need to cast a shadow move a mountain"
The secret to writing is that readers do not actually care about worldbuilding nearly as much as authors think they do.
You know people who get obsessively wiki-brained about media? That only happens when the media has themes, characters, plot points, and emotional stakes they get invested in.

Chose your path, aspiring writer:
-Worldbuilding paralysis where your notes are too full of minutiae to make room for an actual story, which you'll definitely get around to
-Shitpost that sneaks up on you and becomes a novel-length story without any initial planning
