"If the gods become mortal, there will inevitably be at least 20 random dudes claiming to be the mortal incarnation of the Dawnfather at any given time." Yes. And one of them will be Asmodeus.

[pocketgalaxies]

the way pike champion of the everlight is going out of her way to vouch for braius who worships asmodeus and is lying to everyone about it. everlight asmodeus cycle of trust and betrayal will always repeat itself and i go crazy about it

[acebender]

Asmodeus gets a 10 on his monologue

[soath]

Asmodeus, god of lying (including to himself): Yeah, I definitely want to kill/exile my siblings, this is a scenario that absolutely won't lead to me having some sort of wailing breakdown within 24 Exandrian hours and trying to explode the entire universe about it.

[wardensantoineandevka]

Do not lie to me.

Thinking about Asmodeus being reborn as Jester and Fjord's kid. A red skinned tiefling who everyone says takes after his grandmother.

Asmodeus totally having all the plans to regain his powers and destroy all the prime deities. But... well no plan survives contact with Jester.

Him delaying plans just because... what in the hells is she going to do next... he kinda wants to find out.

Jester being the most loving and chaotic parent. Because of course Jester would 1000% still go off on adventures bringing the baby along. Him just watching the pure chaos and expert trickery.

Having Fjord as a dad who is the most caring and excited dad, and trying to balance out Jester's insanity 'No Jester we cannot take the baby to the fae realm I know Beau is opening a new Beau bar but we also shouldn't be taking a baby to a bar opening'. Also who was in a deal with darkness but found his way out.

Him just being along with the mighty nein as extended family who are all chaotic and loving and not what he's used to with adventures he's dealt with. He's stuck with emotions for them and he hates it.

First time he pulls tricks and lies Jester just hugs him she's so proud of him and so his uncle Artie. His trickery and lies becoming far more Jester adjacent.

Also him pulling pranks just to freak Braius out when he visits

Bonus: Beau and Yasha end up unknowingly adopting one of the other gods and the first time Asmodeus and the other see each other it just being that always sunny scene in the restaurant. (Neither saying anything or blowing cover because they like this family not that either will ever admit this)

“I'm going to go off on my own and pray. I'm a man of faith, I must pray. So, yeah, I'm going to, yeah, I'm going to splatter some paint on the wall and kneel before it and ask if my mission is to destroy Ludinus, but that results in the gods being chased away. Is that my mission? Or, do I need to prevent that from happening? To which god do you direct your prayer?”-Braius/Matt

"What is it you want, Doomseed?"

"Well first and foremost, to please you, my Lord"

"Thank you... For not abandoning me"

"You've always been special.. Now show the rest of the world why"

[predathos-the-godeater]

Say what you will about Asmodeus but that guy is a whole snack.

[happycattail]

i am so emotinal about Ashley who played the Everlight to be the one who gets ask Asmodeus as Fearne "do you know how much she loves you?"

[lesbianwyllravengard]

I lay my hand on his chest. | He puts a hand on yours.

"What will become of me?"

Can I just say, I really appreciate how Critical Role plays the Devil trope straight. There's been this phenomena in a lot of modern media (I'm not going to mention specifics but I'm sure a few examples pop up in people's minds) where Hell and the Devil aren't scary or malevolent forces. Hell is portrayed as being basically the same as our world just "edgier", and the Devil is a pretty decent guy actually. Heaven are secretly the real bad guys!

But Critical Role doesn't do that. In Exandria, Asmodeus *feels* like the Devil. He's malevolent and manipulative and terrifyingly powerful and he hates you, personally. We never see that type of portrayal anymore! And it's amazing! And he still manages to be sympathetic and tragic without losing his edge!

And the "Good Gods" are portrayed as flawed without being secretly evil or something! Like, actual nuance? In my Heaven/Hell dichotomy? What!?

It's just such a breath of fresh air after so many "The Devil was right, actually" stories. So props to Matt and Brennan and the cast.

I have beef with any of you who prefer zerxus x asmodeus to evandrin x zerxus. How dare you not back the first knights of avalir with their love that spawned the line "there is no god that strides this world that I worship more than I worship your heart"

[soath]

This latest ep’s conversation between Braius and Asmodeus really hammers home what he wants out of a relationship (and why attempts to get him with Ashton/Fearne, Dorian/Orym, or Chetney, while hot, were never going to work.) This cow grew up in a religious community in a strict immigrant household. He doesn’t just want love he wants to reclaim what he feels like he lost: a firm family structure, a committed monogamous relationship, the reassuring bulwark of a community. Bells Hells are great, he’s inordinately fond of them, but they’re not going to be his dadmom or boyfriendgirlfriend or bosspope. Asmodeus though? He can be all three! Say what you will about Lawful Evil, it’s got the structure he craves.

[spout1nk]

I couldn't help drawing something else. He's just so silly.

How each of the conversations with the Betrayers will go:

(editing post cuz i forgot about the Ruiner lmao)

Tharizdun: *incomprehensible eldritch black hole noises*

Asmodeus: lmao no.

Bane: so you're telling me i could do the exact same thing i was doing before but as a mortal? ...oh hey those hobgoblin guys look interesting!

Torog: SO you're telling me i could live full lives without this pain that's been plaguing me for aeons? Hm...i dunno...wait i can also torture people as a mortal?! I'M IN.

Gruumsh: turns out ya don't really need to be a god to throw giant boulders at people

Zehir: NOBODY CARES WHAT ZEHIR THINKS

Tiamat: i can literally live like any of my mortal chromatic children but better so why not?

Lolth: pay child support.

Vecna: LMAO GET FUCKED OLD BASTARD HOW'S ONLY THIRTY YEARS OF GODHOOD FEELS BITCH?
