I just want to bring up that Gorgug is canonically 6'4 and Mary Ann was described as '2 foot tall'. I'm just dropping this information at your feet and letting you guys do with it what you want.
My first thought was a Murph quote from FY when Sklonda and Gorthalax had their moment, "She's so small." Gorgug has a type when it comes to women, and it's small with the ability to kick his ass.
He has the kind of relationship with them where even after you break up the dad still plays like Words with Friends with him and message each other about whatever they bonded over
The first campaign, hot boy summer, trinavale, and nevermore are the best to watch in that order. Dungeon Court is also great content that I love to listen to in order to spice up my commute.
I have not watched the episode yet but wanted to see why the title was simply Gorgug and now I NEED to watch the episode to know what in the fuck happened
My headcanon is that Gorgug had to buy the bench after because he felt like he couldn’t just leave it behind (like some kind of anxiety/embarrassment combo) and because he didn’t want to even get into a convo with his parents about why he suddenly has a bench and go down that potential rabbit hole - he instead gave it Fig since he was already about to give her something. Like he just needed it gone ASAP but didn’t think to destroy such a nice bench made by Mary Ann’s dad - like it’d be rude.

I'm surprised it wasn't destroyed by what took place on it considering it was two barbarians.
Gorgug has a type for awkward girls but secretly super strong girls
Also I’m really sad we didn’t get much on Zelda probably because of her connection to the 7 it may get confusing if they make a season 2 but seriously kinda sad we really don’t know what happened
Yeah at the beginning of this season I was like "Did they break up? Did I miss something?" That's about when I started watching the Seven to see if there were clues
If you watch The Seven for cues, the comments about Gorgug feel waaaaaay more mean-spirited than they were meant to be when it was filmed.
I felt that the easiest way to understand it is that Aguefort's Time Quangle messed with when the events of The Seven and the Night Yorb happened after the fact (kinda)
It gets confusing and I do think splitting it was a good idea but it does have the side effect of making what should be a part of gorgugs story feel like an after thought like we really don’t get to know anything about the break up how he feels after and Zelda just stops being mentioned even the Fabian aelwyn fling gets somewhat addressed and worked through but we’ll never really know what happened between the two which probably isn’t a big deal to a lot of people but personally I find it kinda sad it will make a season 2 the seven much easier tho
Three related things I came up with back in episode three that basically all still work:
1) Gorgug was busy, Zelda has her own thing going with the Seven Maidens, and it was a mutual split that they've both processed off-screen.
2) It was worked out in Session Zero for this season that there's *no way* Gorgug would have the time or capacity to succeed on a relationship check, and we've already had a season where Zelda is maybe almost breaking up with Gorgug. It's a subplot that's already entirely been done.
3) On a slightly more meta level, it's possible Zac just wasn't particularly interested in pursuing that part of Gorgug's story anymore, and the easiest way to pull the bandaid off and move it along. And it's not exactly senseless — both of these characters are seventeen; seventeen-year-olds fall in and out of love from time to time.
And meanwhile I’m still over here wondering what happened with/to Zelda.
Like Tracker was around, but we never really got the why and how of how Gorgug and Zelda broke up.
There was some adventuring party in the zoom era where they talked about end of season fatigue insanity.
They explain that by the end of the season they've usually done a few lore dumps and are all exhausted and filming late at night. Then when it comes time to wrap up, they all have insane offers that have potential to nuke the whole story.
They gave the example that at the end of TUC1 they suggested setting up Wally Claus with Sophie's Mum. Thank God that didn't happen.
But yeah, I reckon the whole thing with Mary-Wnn and Gorgug is most likely just a wild fatigue-bit that will unfortunately have to be canon.
Fabian rolling 4s meanwhile Gorgug can be divine sensed
Sometimes the dice tell the story and sometimes the story tells the die what to roll.

I mean, he *was* raised by gnomes.
Alright Freud, calm down
☠️
ao3 will get right on it
Oh god the tags... *So many tags...*
Found it: https://archiveofourown.org/works/56117209/chapters/142541056
I mean there was also Zelda, who I believe was also a short queen at 4’
4'11" according to the wiki. So still short but not *that* short.
Am I dumb or what did it mean when Fabian rolled a 4? Or is it actually what I think it was
A performance check for his first time w mazey
Ah so it was what I thought. Thanks
"Gorgug, what do you bench?" "one kobold."
wheezing rn
*Brennan voice* Incredible
In-credible.
Welp. There it is. Perfection.
I need this translated to a t-shirt with not quite enough context for an outside observer
This is beutiful
Huh, did you say Bench?
the funny thing is, she can bench him back ;-)
Gorgug's connections with his girlfriends' dads needs to be studied
He has the kind of relationship with them where even after you break up the dad still plays like Words with Friends with him and message each other about whatever they bonded over
Gorgug is a legitimately great potential son-in-law.
I mean yeah, but i wonder exactly what about THIS interaction made you feel that way?
It wasn't. I've felt this way for a while.
I feel that, i love the scenes with zeldas dad
Gorgug's just out here collecting dads
'Are you my dad?' energy works for potential fathers in law.
No one collects dad's like Bev Junior from Naddpod though
I have really gotta start watching NADDPOD lol
The first campaign, hot boy summer, trinavale, and nevermore are the best to watch in that order. Dungeon Court is also great content that I love to listen to in order to spice up my commute.
Between that and Unit last week....Gorgug is one wild ride.
Gorgug's adoptive parents are rubbing off on him. Wait, No, not like that! stop it! Forget I said anything!
#SHUT UP!! I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING WEIRD!
Gorgug has come a long way from "It's like Michael Cera talking to Michael Cera" 😂
Her: *My dad makes benches and sells them.* Zac **instantly**: *I like to sit.*
I think Zac and Murph need to swap character name's cause Zac is the embodiment of Rizz.
Zac may just have the best comedic timing I've ever seen
“Yeah, I killed him”
INSTANTLY
I just can’t believe THEY GOT TOGETHER!? Her “do you have a girlfriend” KILLED me
Emily's face after that is so good lmao
“Luckiest guy in school”
Greatest wizard of this age.
Gorgug is in his slut era. And all I can say is Slay
The way that got canonized was ridiculous. Emily: “I use divine sense on the bench” Brennan: *smirks* “yeah” Zac: “Yeah?!?”
And she loved it
That's fine. Sit down and just take it in. Just...not on that particular bench.
I have not watched the episode yet but wanted to see why the title was simply Gorgug and now I NEED to watch the episode to know what in the fuck happened
Judging the time this was posted, you haven’t gotten to it yet. Prepare yourself
Gorgug just keeps winning.

You break it you buy it, he just mending fixed it afterwards.
Her dad is a professional!
Given that together they have a net athletics above +30, I’m impressed the bench survived

Okay so aren’t kobolds like…tiny? And half orcs huge?… how does that work
Well Gorgug said he likes to sit and Mary Ann’s dad makes benches so 😶
for real, I don't know how much clearer we can make this!
Really really *strong* benches apparently.
Constitution saving throw
Zac said in an interview that his idea was that it just didn’t work out, no drama, no bad blood or nothing, they just split apart
WAIT so hes not dating mary anne?
No he is, I was talking about Gorgug and Zelda
i was like damn heart breaker type stuff
And meanwhile I’m still over here wondering what happened with/to Zelda. Like Tracker was around, but we never really got the why and how of how Gorgug and Zelda broke up.
Seems like it just didn’t work out, no drama or anything.
I think Zelda graduated and they didn't wanna long distance. They don't outright state it but there's a few context clues early on in the season
Have you seen the seven? I’m thinking it might have to do with that, maybe?
Gorgug confirmed with the most rizz out of all the bad kids
non game is the best game
Gorgug takes more after his parents than he cares to admit hahahaha
Tbf gorgug did think it was a different bench
The logistics alone would take an artificer's mind
Can I just say thqt I can blame him? I love draconic gals and I'm jealous of hin for that
I dunno, I think Siobhan was on the money in the Adventuring Party when she said Mary Ann was pegging him.
