That's a side quest. You're supposed to go find him.
Or at least find his environmental storytelling skeleton along with a unique weapon or piece of armor.

That’s Gorditos! Any family that agreed to the baby vs. burrito photo got a free meal.
They’re my favorite Mexican restaurant in the world. We used to live 4 blocks from them. God I miss their tomatillo enchiladas.
If you’re in Seattle, go to the Greenwood neighborhood and get some food. You will be very happy.
i made a little comic about plushies, one piece, and self acceptance.
I love how "Sinners" didn't villify the sinners in the movie. Sammie's father told him that playing music for "drunkards and philanderers who abandon their family responbilities to sweat all over each other" was a sin. And he was right about the kind of people going to the juke joint: Delta Slim is an alcoholic, and Pearline a cheater. It would have been easy to villify them, but the movie tells us that despite their flaws, they are humans worthy of love, respect and freedom.
Delta Slim drinks because he's traumatized by the horrors Black people of his time face. And he's kind and compassionate, encouraging and reassuring Sammie, and sacrificing himself to save everyone else.
Pearline literally saved Sammie's life and sacrificed herself to protect him, a boy she had only known for a day. It shows her kindness because she could have easily stayed back when Remmick tried to bite Sammy and not endangered her life more than necessary.
The movie shows us that preachers blindly condemning those sinners are wrong: Sammie is only alive because drunkards, philanderers and gangsters (Smoke) gave their lives to protect him. They are people, with flaws and qualities.
I love how nuanced the movie is: Sammie's father is not wrong about the kind of people Sammie wants to associate with and their potential bad influence, but he's wrong about them being evil and not deserving of respect.
For folks in the notes very upset that she only has two babies left: These baby possums are of dispersion size - they're big enough to leave mom and fend for themselves. These two are just the ones who haven't moved out yet.
Oh wow I had no idea they were so tiny when they left home! Our possums in Australia don't have as many babies so they're generally 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the mum when they get kicked out.
I would definitely assume a baby opossum was abandoned if I hadn't been told otherwise.
Every year wildlife rehabs are delivered many perfectly healthy baby possums for this exact reason and generally, it means they get a little boost of assured safety, food, and hydration before being released. Imagine, you're newly 18 and starting your adult life - you're just kind of walking around, maybe on your way to community college or something, and a Kindly Cosmic Horror picks you up, carries you to a fancy hotel where you are given several really excellent meals and maybe receive a series of vaccinations, then you are dropped into a resource-rich area approximately nearby where the first Kindly Cosmic Horror picked you up. This is how life is for young Virginia possums every spring.
Everything about this delights me.
I love how it doesn't matter what expedition it is.
They all turn into excited kids when they meet penguins.
The Penguin: GIANTS! no way! I’m gonna wave at them THEY WAVED BACK! Holy Shit they’re dancing with me! My Wife is never gonna believe this OMG I got to dance with a Giant today so cool.
The Humans: Penguin! No way! I’m gonna wave at it IT WAVED BACK! Holy Shit it’s flapping with me! I got to play with a Penguin today; so cool.
where's the joy and whimsy guy? Have they found this one yet?
Joy and whimsy detected! This post is joyful and whimsical!
Who am I to deny a penguin some joy and whimsy 🐧
It really is!
the thing about giving up is that it isn’t permanent. one must give up like twice a week in order to keep going
the secret to continuing Despite is to set aside time every once in a while to allow the aching, screaming, exhausted toddler in your chest to have a full blown tantrum and make half a hundred promises about never ever taking any shit ever again and walking into the ocean or running off into the woods and becoming a hermit. and you watch it and you wait for it to calm down and then when it’s sniffling on the floor you offer it a lollipop and go “alright buddy are you ready to keep walking” and it’ll be like “yeah :(“ and off you go again
so true
