Lets all agree to call Damien "Bobert" from now on.

Just finished the bright sessions a couple of days ago and I'm still surprised of how much I like Damien, like don't get me wrong the guy is definitely not a good company but idk I almost wished we had a redemption arc for him, he is such a interesting character, I feel like we only scratched the surface with him. Sorry to dump this here nobody would list to my rant lmao

[@rrammay]

You gotten around to reading the book? It should satisfy that Damien content craving lmao

[@kauan1810]

@@rrammay oh did! I was kind disappointed with it loll had some good moments tho

[@theimplications635]

@kauan high key agree with everything you said, especially the book. I feel like they really wasted Damien's potential as a character.

[@candlelamp8729]

Haha I’m here a year late but honestly me too Damien’s an awesome character and I wish we had a character who genuinely liked him, that would have made a redemption so much easier

[@jay-kj7ry]

I agree, I basically finished it but I just want more Damien he is so interesting.

[@Scaperer]

This scene was so intense; it's one of my favorite moments in The Bright Sessions. Awesome art!! It's cool to have visuals to something I've only ever listened to!

[@user-yt7zg4yl5m]

mark is adorable

[@crychan]

so this was the first piece of bright sessions i ever even heard of. after this i listened to like 12 episodes that night. now when i first started, i was trying to piece this scene together of where it fit in the story and because it had been a while since i had heard it so i had forgotten most the names and stuff. and to this day i still confuse mark and caleb sometimes, but at the start of the show, i had it alllll twisted. i was thinking "yo was that caleb in that youtube video??" and i was thinking from like ep 2 or 3 "is bright evil??? that'd be fuckidfnkndfk amazing" and i was pretty sure caleb's had a SISTER (maybe named summer? i feel like it was!!!) so i got even more concerned and i didnt remember wadsworth being dropped in the video and i thought joan was telling caleb to use his power and that scene in the video where mark is yelling at damien about his sister and damien says "for a while you didnt think sam was real either" and i thought that was caleb's sister and the show ws SO MUCH DARKER IN MY HEAD IM SO GLAD ITS NOT THIS SAD

[@user-xx1id6ws9g]

Celab actually has a sister her name is alice but she is not involved at all in first seasons but you can hear her in am archives
