Okay, look. Overall, I am glad to have stepped back from Tumblr and fandom. While I miss the friends I’ve made, and I miss the gifs and art and meta and memes, there’s too much going on in my life to let myself get sucked into it right now.

That said.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHO WAS GOING TO TELL ME ABOUT HEADLESS??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEVER WOULD HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THIS SO LATE IF I HADN’T LEFT AND I CAN’T BELIEVE MYSELF. HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT. OH MY GOD. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS EVERYTHING AND I’M SO UPSET I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT IT SOONER. WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF I HAVEN’T MISSED OUT ON ANYTHING I CAN’T CATCH UP ON ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT THE KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN IS STILL LIVE.

The CAST??? HOLY SHIT. I thought Poe Party was star-studded and I am fucking STUNNED. I mean, for starters, Sean, Sinead, Mary Kate & Sarah are all inspirations in everything they’ve done, and I adore the TCB + Starkid extended crossover families so much, and they’ve brought back so many icons Shipwrecked’s worked with previously, and then KRYSTINA ARIELLE???????? GINNY DI??? MATTHEW??!! FUCKING??!!!!?! MERCER????!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!??????!?!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And putting aside all of THAT, which is so very hard to put aside, I simply cannot stress how fucking elated I am to see more of the Persauds’ work adapting classic literature. It is my entire niche. It is the most accurate single representation of my sense of humor and interests. It’s so FUCKING good. I’m so excited. I’m gonna cry. Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god.

......P.S.: Since most people following me have come from CR, if you don’t know Shipwrecked, do yourself a favor and watch every piece they’ve ever made please god. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made a friend sit down and watch Edgar Allan Poe’s Murder Mystery Dinner Party and every single one has adored it.

(.............................And then go donate to the Kickstarter so they’ll reach the stretch goal of playing D&D with some of their D&D-associated cast members in addition to all the other incredible stretch goals!!)

I’m very much still on hiatus, both from CR and Tumblr, but I just wanted to drop in to thank all of the kind, brilliant, thoughtful, and talented people I’ve met in this fandom. It may have its dark sides, as any fandom does, and I’m devastated that I’ve not only had to take a break, but also miss the finale as a result of it. But so many of you are such amazing, good people, and as a whole, I’m tremendously grateful for and proud of the community created around Critical Role. I hope the finale is a poignant, emotional, satisfying, memorable, and meaningful resolution to this campaign, and I hope that life looks bright for everyone. I love y’all. ❤️

The Mighty Nein & Names: Episodes 1 - 100

This project started, because I wanted to rewatch campaign two during quarantine, but I needed a project so I wouldn’t be so easily distracted. Huge thanks to @ofsinnersandsaints​ for suggesting this. I’ve had a blast putting this together.

Below the cut, you’ll find some super fun statistics and graphs showing you the amount of times the Mighty Nein says each other’s names in conversation. This is divided up with some general stats and then a deep dive into each character. I may do a separate post that is more meta-oriented regarding these numbers later.

I have tentative plans to continue this project (especially since I’m planning another rewatch) for the rest of the episodes. But! We’ll see how that goes.

A few disclaimers:

This count only includes the times they say each other’s names in conversation. It does not include times that they provide “stage directions” using each other’s names (or similar occurences).

I wish I could claim 100% accuracy, but I won’t. I tried my best. Things like cross-talk and being fallible contribute to me only claiming a 98% accuracy rate.

This doesn’t not include Guest PCs. I needed to keep this simple.

The below stats do not include the ‘Caleb’ count from episode 75 when Liam was absent. I’ll go into further details in his section.

Veth and Nott’s statistics are, for the most part, combined. I do have the counts separated, but combined them for the overall data.

In an effort to make this a little more accessible, I will be typing the stats out underneath the graphs and charts when it’s possible. A few of these graphs unfortunately include too much data to easily type out, but I will try to figure something out.

I am not entirely pleased with how the graphs/charts look, but short of setting this up as a powerpoint presentation and posting a link to said presentation… this is what I’ve got for you right now.

If there is anything else anyone is curious about anything for the first 100 episodes (stats for a specific episode, more in-depth character question, etc.), feel free to shoot me an ask and I can pull up a little report for you.

Okay! Let’s just get started!

just realized how much essek reminds me of the Gifted Kids i grew up with who only talked to other gifted kids because they thought nobody else was smart enough to understand them, and wow it all makes sense now! essek levitating to impress older, more established kryn is the exact same thing as 12-year-old gifted kids posturing in their 11th-grade math class trying to make the kids four years older than them think they’re cool, and you can’t convince me otherwise

haven’t made any progress catching up for over a week but just learned the context for “young man” and wow! i dislike it even more

she

[widonotts]

[ID: a digital illustration of a tan-skinned, round-faced witch with long, curly brown hair, deep brown eyes, full lips, and a wide nose. Her outfit and accessories are color-coordinated, with hues of pink, sky blue, white, and accents of yellow. She wears an elaborate Lolita-style dress with layers of ruffles at the collar, puffy white sleeves, a buttoned-up bodice with vertical stripes, and a full knee-length skirt with several multicolored layers, all accented with pink and yellow bows. She also wears a blue witch’s hat with a bow tied at the back and white ruffles at the brim, as well as blue kitten heels and ruffled white socks. The woman is floating; she’s looking up in awe, holding a teacup in one hand while a matching teapot and macarons float around her. The background is bright pink, with abstract yellow swirls curling from the spout of the teapot to the cup in her hand. End ID.]

Tea time ☕💛

i keep forgetting to post these here but look it’s my favorite subject to draw

[widonotts]

I needed to draw something chill while watching this week’s stream, so back to my insatiable multishipping ways we go!

Good morning to the online learners, my disillusioned college peers trying to crawl to the end of their degree, the ones who love to learn but are constantly thwarted by red tape and bureaucracy, the ex-gifted kids, the ex-not-gifted kids, the textbook pirates, the class skippers, the gap year takers, the kids who stay up late just to experience something that isn't the work grind, the one-week-at-a-timers, the one day-at-a-timers, the neurodivergent students every institution ignores and overlooks, and everybody who has been and is being traumatized by public or private education systems. Good morning to y'all and y'all only.

stay alive.

the words “stay alive” get tossed around a bit. mostly by dairon, but you hear it a lot. sometimes you just gotta feel stressed and cry about life and the pressure from people counting on you.
