#C2E129

[piratespencilart]

Can you imagine being a two foot tall halfling in your giant cow uncle’s lap. Literally the safest feeling in the world I think. 💚

[ID: Digital art of Luc and Caduceus from Critical Role. Luc is a small halfling child in yellow overalls, looking up with a smile. He is sitting in the lap of Caduceus, who is shown from the neck down and is much larger than Luc. End ID.]

God… listening to ep 129 and 130… I’m getting so emotional about the way the Nein are getting their affairs in order. Saying goodbyes.

It’s about Veth and Jester promising Yeza and Marion that they’ll come back alive, but you know that they don’t really believe it. It’s about Caduceus telling his sister that he doesn’t think he’ll come back, but he’d like his name somewhere in the Grove if his family doesn’t get his body back.

It’s about the rest of the Nein not having anyone to say goodbye to like this, because they are already each other’s closest family. It’s about wondering if it’s better to have people you love and have to leave, or to go to your death with the people you love most at your side.

It’s Veth saying this is the last time. It’s Caduceus saying it has to be me because I don’t want it to be you.

These episodes are really hitting so hard.

Quotes about the strange nature of Taliesin's existence - Day 29

Brian: "This episode is sponsored by our friends at 1985 Games. That was a good year. I was three years old, Dani was ten years from being born, Taliesin was ten thousand years..." Taliesin: "Eight thousand."

The theories on a pattern of change begin to peek through in some of the notes. A slow shift in the structure between the planes, and a possible sudden shift in the cosmic tapestry down the road. And you can see a lot of these notes, there's a combination of worry and excitement gleaned from them. This person is just pontificating about possible cosmic events down the road that could be catastrophic or very exciting and unique, remaking of the cosmos. But they're all theories.

This is totally not foreshadowing at all.

hey you guys so, I'm rewatching c2e129 (between the ball and the hot place) and a thought just came to my mind after some recent events

you guys think that veth ever met ryn, found out about her fire element guardian and just screamed at her for like an hour for killing her fucking child that one time

[lessattitudemorealtitude]

Caduceus asking “Who’s hurt bad?” in the wake of the fire elemental fight.

And then Caleb starting to raise his hand but then quickly putting it back down, not wanting to claim any healing for himself, feeling like all of this is his fault...

My fucking heart

Hey happy Tuesday did you know that Matthew FUCKING Mercer foreshadowed all of this Ruidus business a million years ago in C2E129?

The Mighty Nein are fleeing from Trent Ikithon. Some of them are in the Happy Fun Ball. Others of them are in what would turn out to be Planerider Ryn’s hangout in the Fire Plane.

Jester reads Ryn’s journal, and Matt says:

“…maps of the cosmic planes…pontification on an imbalance between them…” (01:09:13)

“The theories on a pattern of change begin to peak through in some of the notes. A slow shift in the structure between the planes, and a possible sudden shift in the cosmic tapestry down the road. And you can see a lot of these notes, there’s a combination of worry and excitement gleaned from them. This person is just pontificating about possible cosmic events down the road that could be catastrophic or very exciting and unique, remaking of the cosmos. But they’re all theories.” (01:10:00)

Then a huge awful fight and a lot of other things happen and two hours later, Caleb reads the journal and gets:

“Possible change that could spell disaster or balance, who knows?” (03:02:22)

“There’s some sort of something strange and you do pick up some of the odd reading that alludes, as they note, “I continue to find an aberration in my data pertaining to Exandria. A cyclical, months long, slow surge in low-level magical interference that then recedes just as slowly. Something that tangles my readings and upsets my analysis. It is too faint to identify the arcane nature at source, but I worry if this pertains to the shifting between the veils…” But these are just the musings of an individual.” (03:02:27)

And then, in C3E43, Ryn herself shows up and says:

“I’ve discovered some strange inconsistencies in the way the energies have been moving, the leylines, the magical powers that guide the patterns of energies across Exandria and through the different realms that overlap. This movement seemed to be incorporating with bursts of energy, that over time, the patterns seemed to coincide with these recurring flares of the moon Ruidus.” (02:54:30)

C2E129 aired in March of 2021
