Just 14 minutes after recording the first episode of this season we recorded the second! Is it obvious in our energy???

Pete is once again under scrutiny, Josh is back on his #soldiersh*t, Pete still loves a little worm of a guy, India thinks shadowdancing is probably sexy.

Grab your sensible flats! Wooboobooboobooboo *drip noise* we're diving into the final book of Dust of Dreams! The energy in this one is chaotic, to say the least.

India hates friend groups, Pete's lookin' for the moms, Josh makes some references to the Ancient Texts (memes circa 2012), we make a new property that is ORIGINAL CONTENT and CAN NOT BE STOLEN.

Here's the Lady Envy art we talk about! By dejan-delic
