Sae Niijima is such a good character it drives me insane a little. She's not a mother nor a maternal or doting older sister but instead a twenty four year old who was thrown into a position of responsibility that she never asked for. She loves Makoto just as much as she resents her and its so apparent every time they talk up until November. "Are you studying?" (I want you to do well) (I need you to get a job and stop making my life harder) "I'll use any method necessary to get this promotion" (Life will be easier for us) (So stop distracting me with your problems) "Focus on your future" (I know that you're capable) (I can't afford to waste my time on you, so stop wasting time on others)

Makoto is not only the sole reason she pushes as hard as she does for a promotion, for success, and the reason that she loses herself in her animosity over her fathers death, but also someone she can't stand for so long. Makoto was 14-15 when their father died. Sae was 21. As soon as she got the career she wanted and things started to look up, her stability was robbed from her and she was disillusioned with the system that her father had taught her to rely on and completely adhere to. How do you manage, the daughter of a cop, following his footsteps towards law enforcement, when you're suddenly reminded of how unfair it is? You can't quit, your little sister relies on you and she's so young and struggling just as badly with this grief. So you pick yourself up and you get moving again. You push harder, press further. You abandon your morals and your ethics because punishing criminals (guilty or not) is almost like punishing the man who killed your father.

And the whole time she's fighting for promotions, going for drinks with the SIU Director to make herself more favourable for promotions, trying to navigate being a woman in a competitive, suffocating, male-dominated field, falling behind despite doing so much where others are promoted for doing so little - all the while your little sister comes back from school and her biggest issues are so small compared to yours.

Persona 5 revolves so heavily around grief and loss and change and Sae embodies all of that so well, all of the sharp and unpleasant and jagged parts of grief.

#sae niijima #persona brainrot real #idk what possessed me for this i jsut love her #beyond her being rlly hot and such a driven and compelling character #the way that we see her on screen is so heavily shaped and influenced by grief that its almost crushing when you notice it #she focuses on work because if she falls behind it could cost her and her sister everything #yet she lives in her fathers house. works a job her father would be proud of. is praised through her proximity to her father.#her sister idolises her and relies on her like a parent. sae was never supposed to be that to her #how am i meant to be your mother and your father? how am i meant to be the source of stability in your life when im not stable in mine #and the whole time your little sister sits there and where shes actually putting on a brave face and forcing through her own grief #struggling to put a life without her father into perspective #to you she just looks ... complacent. willfully ignorant to the situation that you're both in and the struggles you're both facing #why WOULDNT you hate her?#and then you realise that shes not ignorant. shes not as stupid or as oblivious as you thought #every time she was being distracting and asking pointless questions she was just reaching out to you #and each time you had to push her hand away and tell her not now. focus. study.#they drive me insane actually #persona 5 #p5r #persona 5 royal #makoto niijima

hi clover die trophy

heavily inspired by @pepperpepi s art of them !

#bit of context this is mostly silly happy joyous but i kinda put some clover angst into that #cuz i was just thinking abt how her luck probably extends on artistic things as well somehow #n we know her luck can make her turn out well in photos regardless of anything #so she would possibly never be able to know whether shed actually be good at creative hobbies if it werent for her luck #n on top of that she would also make insecure sore losers like trophy feel rlly bitter n threatened over her natural talent #which isnt rlly her fault at all but i think she would feel like it is #so after discovering using her luck to make a good photo for trophy backfired what clover does #is just use her butterly friends to give him smth to photograph himself which i think would be cool #since i think her powers dont extend onto butterflies ? so every picture of those butterflies wouldn't magically turn out amazing i mean #kinda yapping um whatever #inanimate insanity #ii #clover ii #ii clover #trophy ii #ii trophy #osc #osc art #art tag

No one asked but post-canon established Polytrix owning a personal aquarium headcanons go:

• Look man, they’re THE kpop global sensation of all time. They canonically live in a Korean Avengers Watchtower for goodness’ sake! Nobody can tell me they wouldn’t transform one of the many floors of their uber penthouse to a personal aquarium

• Yes the entire floor is dedicated to housing their various aquatic pets and yes they call it the Ocean Autism Floor (shoutout Zoey for the name)

• Speaking of Zoey, she would extensively talk about how one of her favorite spots in all the world is the Monterey Bay Aquarium and how she wishes she could visit it more often because it was such a comfort spot for her the small handful of times she’s visited it growing up, and Rumira instantly wanted to create a place Zoey can experience a fraction of that joy right in the comfort of their own shared home. It was originally just going to be a large fish tank containing some of her favorite species (that girl has marine bio autism and you can NOT tell me otherwise) but the passion project eventually grew to contain a whole multitude of various animals after Zoey got Rumira interested in aquatic animals through all the nature docs, reels, etc etc she’d have them watch with her.

• Thus, what started as just one large fish tank grew into an expansiveeee personal aquarium fully staffed with expert vet techs, enrichment providers, cleaners, etc etc because again, HUNTR/X can very easily afford this and what girlypop would NOT fully realize their exotic pet power fantasy if they had HUNTR/X’s resources?

• Oh you know the celebratory snack party went absolutely CRAZYSTYLE once the city approved all the permits for turning an entire floor of their mega tower into a personal aquarium >:) Zoey had been filling notebook after notebook after notebook with all the critters she plans to finally own >:D

• ^^^^ Rumira are endlessly endeared by Zoey’s boundless excitement and it’s actually incredibly sweet how happy they get from seeing how delighted Zoey is whenever she’s watching the inhabitants of one tank or another, definitely no regrets there! Zoey is hugging both of them so so tight with her frame trembling from pure Special Interest Joy™️ and they’re both veryyy happy to squeeze and cuddle her back to provide some nice pressure and warmth in order to help ground + anchor their gf from being too overwhelmed by euphoria (yes I’m projecting some of my autism tidbits onto Zoey, sue me)

• For Zoey, it’s like, well okay. Some people read out loud to dogs to get over their reading anxiety because a dog doesn’t really judge you, they’re just happy to be here. For her, having writing sessions while vibing with aquatic animals has a similar effect. They don’t judge, they don’t really care, they just continue to swim around doing their own thing. Even if they look strange or off-putting to us humans, they have evolved to best suit their needs and perfectly own up to it. Zoey really, really likes how lots of oceanic occupants reflect all of the colors stuck inside her head with their own sometimes bizarre patterns and are absolutely thriving with it. To have her own personal aquarium is sending her to the moon and back with sooooo much soul-nourishing fulfillment fer various reasons

• When it comes to what types of pets they’d own, to me Zoey likes more ‘oddball’ esque animals, Mira likes more cool and dangerous critters, while Rumi has an affinity for more pretty, cutesy looking ones

• In my heart Zoey has selfies of her and her beloved giant red pacific octopus affectionately wrapped around her arm because that's a Californian native octopus babbyy!! Her name is Baby Red and she's the smartest girl around, Zoey could watch her solve enrichment treat puzzles allll dayyyy

• She is also very attached to the several parrot fish she has in one of the coral reef tanks because they come in very vibrant colors and have these funky ass beaks and they POOP SAND LIKE??? Such a chaotic mishmash of random traits and Zoey is soooo about it

• Mira is deeply bonded with the colorful mantis shrimp she IMMEDIATELY sniped once Zoey infodumped to her about how this lil guy can punch fast enough to boil water and strong enough that it’s the same power as a .22 caliber gun AND THEY CAN SEE SECRET COLORS??? Oohhh Mira was already hooked but the moment her gay ass learned that mantis shrimp are naturally rainbow colored she was already looking up the soonest and easiest way she could obtain one. His name is probably some long punkass one like ‘Pistolwhip Skullcrusher Extinction Event 3000’ or some shit and he’s her son that she loves so, so much

• Oh speaking of Mira, I’m also a huge fan of her having a hugeee soft spot for manta as well as sting rays. These potentially dangerous creatures that are simultaneously so graceful and elegant in their angel flight-like swimming style? But could still rock your ass if you get to close (Rip Steve Irwin gone but never forgotten)? You best believe she got several for the Ocean Autism Floor!!!

• Aw geez I can’t stop thinking about the first time Mira saw a touch tank at a public aquarium with mantas in them and longingly stared so hard that Zoey took pity on her and, firmly grabbing her girl by the hand, dragged her over to a secluded corner of faux rocks. Initially, Mira didn’t want to go to the touch tank since Zoey was already planning to walk past to a different exhibit and this was supposed to be Zoey’s day after all. She didn’t want to pull Zoey off course, esp not for something as dumb and silly as some touch tank like really, it’s no big deal it’s whatever (being denied and shamed as a wild child black sheep by your entire family does that to ya I’m afraid), but hey! Luckily Zoey noticed what caught Mira’s attention and is here to physically drag Mira outta her comfort zone!

• After some encouragement from Zoey, Mira would read the signage explaining how to properly pet a manta not once not twice but thrice over to make sure she knows exactly which parts not to pet. Even so, she would still hesitate, afraid she’d mess up somehow and end up hurting the poor thing since they’re actually so delicate. Taking the lead once again, Zoey would ask, “Here, do you trust me?” and it’s like. Of course Mira does. How could she not?

• After getting confirmation, Zoey would gently grab one of Mira’s hands and guide it into the water towards a manta ray about to swim by. Mira stiffens fer just a second when she feels her fingertips brush along the smooth flesh, but Zoey’s sweet, “See, you got it!” helps soften her nerves enough to follow along with Zoey’s guiding hand and HOLY SHIT SHE’S ACTUALLY PETTING A MANTA RAY OOHHHH THIS IS SO, SOOO SICK

• As Mira is having the time of her life reaching out to pet another ray about to swim by- and make no mistake, she really, REALLY is enjoying herself right now, she truly gets Zoey’s ocean critter joy now, and Zoey herself is looking at Mira’s barely contained emotional expression with SO MUCH love shining in her big brown eyes- neither she nor Zoey separate their joined hands, both of them more than content with the way Zoey’s thumb rubs along the back of Mira’s hand.

•Zoey hopes it’s okay for her to be this clingy as she passionately starts infodumping about rays, and Mira hopes she doesn’t let go of her hand anytime soon as she intently listens <333 oh ‘loves to cling x loves to be clung to’ Zoemira they could never make me hate you <333

• Ohhh you know what? Eels. Mira would love eels, and so does Zoey! I think they freak Rumi out just a little but she’s supportive regardless (smth about their dead-eye stare gives her the creeps)

• But know what animal Rumi does really, really like? Seahorses! They’re so small and cute and she gets a little emotional over how they entwine their tails together to always stay connected. Huntrix definitely has several different species in various tanks and they’re peak girlypop

• Zoey once did a 24-hour streaming challenge during the hiatus to try and capture one of the male seahorse’s birth live on stream. She had a wholeass PC, desk, gaming chair, etc etc set up down near the tank with bean bags and everything for when Rumira would pop by as guest stars to Zoey’s stream. Surrounded by various snacks and energy drinks, Zoey would kill time during the stream with karaoke requests, gaming, QnAs, watch parties of nature docs, live reactions to stuff that’s been heavily requested, and what have you until the seahorse baby dad finally gave birth (it was a VERY momentous occasion full of confetti poppers and everything)

• Post stream I need to see Zoerumi bonding time where they’re tryna come up with goofy names fer all the seahorse babies despite 1) there’s a metric fuckton of them 2) there’s no way they’re gonna be able to tell which is which so giving them names is kind of pointless

• Do they care though? Of course not! Give me more goofy Zoerumi enabling each other’s silliness-filled shenanigans, Rumi’s got an arm around Zoey’s waist as Zoey cuddles into her side and points out another microscopic baby seahorse and giggles out a playful, “Ooohhh what about that one?” and Rumi’s got her brows fully scrunched as she replied with a deeply thoughtful voice, “Hm, looks like a Stewart to me”.

•Zoey can’t explain it- maybe it’s because Rumi looks so serious right now, maybe its the sheer concept of a tiny fucking seahorse baby named Stewart of all things- but she can’t help but burst into peals of laughter and press her face into Rumi’s neck with so much radiating joy, the curve of her smiling cheek highlighted by the bluish illumination of the seahorse tank as her fingers twist into the fabric of Mira’s jacket a certain clothing-stealing gf is currently wearing

• Later on, Zoey is yammering about the funky looking frogfish she’s SO SO SOOO excited to import while Rumi is nodding along as they sit together watching the beautiful, softly glowing jellyfish Rumi recently got. Both of them are holding hands as they watch carefree jellyfish float on by when Rumi steals a glance over to her girlfriend and is proceeded to be shot right in the chest with pure lovestruckness at the sheer wonder and passion in Zoey’s animated movements and voice and downright cuteful face. ‘Oh, how lucky I am to be able to love you like this,’ type beat, Rumi’s very grateful she has the privilege to witness and fall for Zoey’s most mundane moments (it’s not mundane to her, of course, because when you love someone even the most mundane moments become heartfelt treasures <333)

• Tbh jellyfish would be the animal where their preferences would intersect since they can be quite deadly while also simultaneously incredibly beautiful and even misunderstood at times! Polytrix definitelyyyy have some gorgeous tanks with Montery, fried egg, firework jellyfish, etc etc

• That being said, not to swerve into hurt/comfort territory, butttt :))) can you imagine Mira got a tank with some lionfish in it (because duh! They’re so deadly and so, so sick) but sometimes Rumi will go to the tank by herself to watch them swim around. She’ll sit there in a slight daze, admiring those iconic patterns lionfish are praised fer, patterns that many remark as beautiful, and maybe if Rumi tries hard enough and stares at the peacefully swimming fish long enough maybe she’ll start to see her own stripey patterns as pretty too (she doesn’t, but its worth an honest shot) :))

• I think Rumi would relate to lionfish a lot, actually. They’re an invasive species known to run rampant due to a lack of natural predators and will bring any environment they end up in to ruin due to unchecked overconsumption. To prevent this, people are often encourage to hunt and kill lionfish on sight. A deadly thing that deserves a merciless and swift death lest it hurt everyone else, they even have similar patterns. Rumi never thought she’d break down over random fish of all things, but here we are :)!

• I did say this is hurt/comfort, so imagine if you will Mira, who wanted to visit her lionfish, eventually finding Rumi standing in front of the tank, one shaky hand pressed to the glass while the other is trying to scrub away at stray tears. She immediately rushes over, careful not to crowd too much into Rumi’s space (Zoemira learned the hard way how… reactive Rumi gets when it comes to her feeling caged in). When she asks what’s wrong and how can she help, Rumi just gives non-committal grunts and headshakes as her answer. Mira can read people quite well, an expert at it really, and knows that when she’s like this, Rumi won’t be opening up anytime soon. Still, she tries to give support however she can, and when she lifts up her arms in a wordless offer, Rumi doesn’t hesitate to rush into her embrace and hide away her tear-streaked face into Mira’s shoulder.

• The moment Rumi is bundled up and secured in her arms, the dancer tightly hugs her like she could smush the broken pieces of her leader’s heart back together through sheer force of will. They stay like this for a while, swaying a little in place with the unjudging lionfish as their only witness to the muffled sobs Rumi lets out, and that’s okay <333

•The fact that lionfish are encouraged to be killed on sight due to being deadly, environment ruining animals and Mira chooses to house some in the aquarium anyways because SHE likes them, dangers and invasiveness and all. She’s well aware of what they are, and she still actively chooses to love them on purpose.

• Anywaysss :D I fully believe the Ocean Autism Floor gets to the point where they’re adopting fairly small species of sharks. Some cuties such as dogfish and black tipped reef sharks, possibly leopard sharks if we’re just gonna full send it and say they have the space for it. Maybe Zoey just really wants a cool shark tank and is like, “Hold on we can afford it lemme just-“ and whips out a chart topping single that can, heh, singlehandedly fund the new shark tank. I believe in her!

• You know what? Let’s just full send it. Zoey is working her ass off writing up new bangers for Huntrix and recycling unused song concepts for ghostwriting (you can not tell me Zoey wouldn’t be a downright phenomenal ghostwriter esp for raps that don’t fit Huntrix’s brand/style but would perform fantastically in the States under a different artist) because she has the greatest motivation of them all: justifiably affording a personal turtle sanctuary

• This turtle sanctuary is Zoey’s personal heaven. I truly do not think I need to elaborate how much she cherishes it. Girly even made side accounts dedicated to the sanctuary’s occupants and their little personality quirks and just being silly lil goofs she loves more than life

• To support a fundraiser for raising awareness about ocean pollution and subsequent cleanup efforts, HUNTR/X created a charity raffle people can donate to (the more they donate, the more tickets they get in their name!) with all proceeds going to the fundraiser. The winning prize included a private fan signing + personal tour of the HUNTR/X aquarium the girlies would sometimes post about in Instagram stories, mention in livestreams, etc etc. It’s safe to say when it came to donations, their fans blew it outta the water hehe

• Listen man you gotta trust me when I say the acoustics in some parts of Ocean Autism Floor go absolutely hard, just smth about belting your heart out with silly sea critters as your live audience just gives you an automatic +17 in performance and you best BELIEVE polytrix like to give their pets a fun little show sometimes as a way to unwind after a long day

• Not completely aquarium related but I do love the idea of Derpy, a wholeass demon tiger, being the easiest of Polytrix’s pets to take care of because when compared to their entire PERSONAL AQUARIUM, he doesn’t even need much??? He’s really easy to provide enrichment for and doesn’t even eat anything, taking care of Derpy is a breeze in comparison to the intense care that goes into a lottt of the ocean-native pets they own

• One final headcanon (for now!) and it’s very fitting to put at the very bottom. Despite their ABSURD amount of money, Polytrix don’t own any animals from the deep sea because those guys are realllyyy hard to take care of properly with all the specific conditions you gotta meet (correct pressure, temperature, lack of light, etc etc). That being said, if they could Zoemira ABSOLUTELY would have tanks dedicated to anglerfish and other scary as fuck looking abyssal dwellers and honestly Rumi is really, really glad it never worked out

#what started as a short list of hcs quickly spiraled onto several patched together flash fics WHOOPPSSIESS #oh noooo various aquarium themes polytrix scenarios what a shammmeeeee #i made one fer each ship UR WELCCOMMEE!!! I LOVE ZOEMIRA THE MOST BUT ZOERUMI N RUMIRA NATION DONT SAY I NEVER DO ANYTHING FER YALL KSMFMSK #i had so SO much fun writing these scenarios/drabbles and i hope at least one other person enjoys reading em #i might make a part two if any inspo hits me bc #ocean autism floor you will ALWAYS be famous to me #sidenote: can we talk about how funny it is to be a marine biologist working for the world’s biggest kpop band #taking all these years extensively studying care for aquatic life only to end up using ur degree for some kpop girl’s autism chamber LMAO #like imagine ur a falcon keeper who has been working with falcons for many many years #prolly the best in ur field i’d say when it comes to handling these majestic birds!#and then one day Beyonce’s team reaches out to u to come work at a falcon habitat at Beyonce’s own home #bc APPARENTLY the queen bee herself is rlly rllyyyy into birds of prey #AND WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO?

Please help if you can!

Hi, my name's Frankie! I'm 2spirit indigenous butch lesbian. I'm moving out with my friends, Danny and Meadows, so Danny and I won't have to live with my abusive mother anymore. (More context here if needed, please heed the TWs. -> LINK)

We secured a suite, paid security deposit and got a bunch of paperwork Signed. We have a set move in date, and we're sooo close to finally getting Out of here.

Our last goal is pet deposit ($1150), which we thought we'd be able to pay in September/October after our initial conversation with our landlord, but he decided he wanted it by August 1st, which is understable.

While I can technically use my next paycheck for this portion, it'll leave me with only $25ish for food for the entire month after I pay All my bills. So, I'm fundraising/opening commissions again for my portion of the pet deposit, which is around $385ish. I prefer to do commissions, but dontions are accepted too. <3

Please please help if you can! It's okay if you cannot, I understand how Awful the economy is Everywhere right now. But any little bit helps, really! Thank you all so so so much, I am so appreciative and thankful for all the help being given.

day 6 || this era lasted like 2 minutes but i love it anyway

#daily gi-hun #art post #redhead gi-hun my beloved #i know i barely ever draw him w/ red hair its not on purpose i swear #god this era of gi-hun in general is just so. hes exquisite to me okay #all eras of gi-hun are exquisite jsyk but while we r on the topic of this one #ppl kinda misunderstand this gi-hun lots i think. it was esp bad in 2021 i remember when he turned around before getting on the plane #hes not healed. like. At All.#if im being honest i dont even think this couldve been the START of a healing journey for him #other people have pointed this out before but like. what was he gonna do in america #that guilt would still follow him there. the trauma and ptsd would still be a huge part of his life #and its not like there are readily available resources for dealing with the trauma of going thru a death game #yeah he'd get to be with his daughter but ga-yeong is very perceptive and i think she'd notice the changes within her dads personality #which could even put a different kind of strain on their relationship thats different from the kind that existed before #gi-hun could only rlly distract himself for so long. i feel like even if he did go to america it'd just be a matter of time before he >#> couldnt take it anymore and went back to stop the games OR. something.. Worse.#its just not the kind of person gi-hun is. to forget like people want him to. thats just not him im sorry #there was never a world where he got on that plane and left it behind for good #anyway whatever i dont think we should shame a guy for trying to stop mass murder #yea we can debate all day about the effects his self isolation had on other people but i will NOT back down on him being right for TRYING #(side note: you can acknowledge gi-huns isolation had negative effects on other people [ie his daughter] WITHOUT VICTIM BLAMING HIM)#squid game #seong gihun #seong gi hun #squid game fanart #my art #doodle

Y'know, I think I figured out why the Hells still feel like a new low-level party to me, even though they're level 13 and almost 100 episodes in.

I don't quite think it's the lack of conversations, or the fact half the party's plot hooks are big ties to past campaigns - though that definitely plays a part.

... Bell's Hells still primarily rely on quest givers.

Most of their goals are given to them and do not feel organic to the party, and constantly remind us that the Hells are pretty much never the most powerful people in the room. Which is usually something you see with a low-level party.

NPCs offering jobs is not a bad thing; it's a very common plot hook. Matt has been extremely skilled with using NPC quest givers in those two campaigns. Not only do they provide an obvious plot thread, but they can put the party in the path of others (say, the Nein running into the Iron Shepherds while doing a job for the Gentleman and everything that came of that). And the Hells had a solid start with it too - Eshteross was an excellent quest giver!

The problem is that Bell's Hells have never really not had a quest giver.

Maybe it's a byproduct of the more plot-heavy structure of this campaign? But while prior parties have felt like they decided on their course of action and what they prioritized, Bell's Hells feels less like level 13 (13! Level 13!) experienced adventurers and more like an MMO group clicking on the exclamation point over an NPC's head. Where does the plot demand we go next? Who do we report back to?

They're level 13.

At level 13, Vox Machina had just defeated a necromantic city-state to clear their name and Percy's conscience. And, you know, the Conclave just destroyed Emon. No one was explicitly telling the group to gather Vestiges and save the world (though Matt guided them there), and they were usually among the most powerful people in the room. They chose which Vestiges to prioritize, which dragons to tackle when, even if the over-all plot was pretty clear.

At level 13, the Mighty Nein were celebrating Traveler Con (another PC goal, I'll note) after brokering peace between two nations, accidentally becoming pirates and heroes of the Dynasty. The Nein regularly chose what to do based on personal goals, not grand ones. Though definitely smaller fish than Vox Machina at this level, they were very independent and gaining solid political clout.

While we're at it: level 13 is one level lower than the Ring of Brass, who had a huge amount of sway over Avalir. They ended the world, and also saved it, while in the grand scheme of things being only a smidge more powerful than Bell's Hells are now.

Can you really see the Hells wielding that amount of influence, when they're constantly being told what to do next?

The god-eater might be unleashed, so Bell's Hells have no time to do anything but what is asked of them. No time for therapy unless stolen from Feywild time, no travel on foot and late-night watches. They haven't even had time to grieve FCG. Percy was grieved in the middle of the Conclave arc. Molly was grieved when half the party was still in irons.

Matt is in the very unfortunate spot of not being able to give the Hells the same agency as the other two parties. Not only because of the world-ending plot introduced so early on; they are surrounded by characters they know (and the cast knows) are stronger and wiser than them - the familiarity of the past PCs and NPCs is to their disadvantage.

Why would the party reasonably ignore Keyleth's task that will help save the world and go off on a romp? Why would the cast when they know well Keyleth has to be sensible and with the best intentions in mind? The stakes are just too high.

It means that the Hells still feel like they're running errands instead of pursuing their own destiny. Their accomplishments are diminished as just being parts of a to-do list, and any stakes feel padded by several level 20 PCs/NPCs standing 5 steps away ready to catch them.

This isn't Bell's Hell's fault, nor is it Matt's. It could be amended, I think, if the Hells are really left to their own devices for a long period of time without support and shortcuts (like during the party split)... which would be really tricky to pull off at this point in the campaign.

They're level 13. They're big fish, but they're stuck in a pond full of friendly sharks, so they don't feel big at all.

#critical role #campaign 3 #bells hells #cr meta #critical role meta #the percy's conscience thing is half a joke. i love him but man he rlly went there just for the Vengeance. this isnt about him tho #to quote burr: we rlly spent the entire campaign on imogen and orym's backstories and everything else is sidequests #it's just. god. the constant hand-holding paired w the fact there's no TENSION from the fact they're taking the orders #the Nein were allergic to quest givers partially bc they rightfully didn't trust them. But the cast and audience trusts Keyleth and co 100%#it feels like you could put any other characters in this group and Of Course they'd still do roughly the same things on a macro scale #i love Orym and Liam's intent behind the character. but i. think it all boils down to his strong connection w Keyleth ;;#because of Course he'd reach out when things got bad. and of Course they would turn to her for advice.#the other three parties mentioned could Say Things and they would get Done. kinda iffy for the Nein but they could still boss ppl around #who can the Hells delegate smaller tasks to? ask to spy for them? deal with arcane batteries? no one! Because they ARE the small guys!
