Quotes about the strange nature of Taliesin's existence - Day 50

Taliesin: "Even architecture I like, I like watching slowly crumble, as long as I'm not living in it." Matt: "Well, when you've seen enough of time pass before you like you have..." Taliesin: Time passes, civilizations rise, they fall..." Matt: "But there is always Taliesin." Taliesin: "There is always... and my inability to learn how to use a controller." Matt: "It didn't help you in the French Revolution, it's not gonna help you here."

Ya'll I cant stop thinking about the fact that Ashton has said time and time again that he does not liked to be touched. Touching hurts them in ways that is both deeply personal and intricate to their character and yet at the prospect of finding Fearne around the corner, they throw it to the wind to hug her

Happy 8 years of Critical Role!

"You know what I saw? A weird fucked up family, kind of like us. I would do anything to protect any one of you at the expense of others. I have. I have killed for you all. We all have."

"Which is precisely why... we are just like them. Which is not why they should exist, honestly."

I occasionally write general character/story trope meta that gets picked up on cr circles that only brush gently against mine and people will say shit in the tags like "this is why I hate Essek" and I need to be clear that you can feel however you want about any character at any time but if you do this on my posts it's an IMMEDIATE brutal drag in the group chat.

Okay yeah I wasn't ever gonna be contained with just one post so, Callowmoore stuff that's on rotisserie in my brain from ep.94

Long and deep looks at each other and a hug right off the bat!

When asked by Laudna if they were okay in ep. 91, Ashton deflected with 'say that again?' and 'are any of us?', but when Fearne asks they give a genuine answer and then also ask her how she's feeling, because she's been quiet and they care

Ashton, despite hurting when they're touched and exhausted so the chronic pain is as intense as the first time, still wanting to cuddle with Fearne - and feeling at ease when they do

And like, the way they were trying to articulate it implies that they've wanted to ask for quite some time, but the timing has been off or situations have gotten in the way, and they don't want to wait any longer

But also they don't ask if they can cuddle they ask if Fearne wants to; they want to, but they ask Fearne if she doesn't want to sleep alone, because her comfort is as important or more important than their own

Fearne given her past experiences with people of course thinks they mean the other kind of company, which she notes she does want (so that's not off the table) but asks if they could just cuddle - to which Ashton doesn't entirely deny either, but notes that they're tired and in a lot of pain right now so they too was asking for the same

Also the fact that Fearne, who has been in a threesome inside a corrupted haunted wood, will later flirt with a dark echo of herself, and spooned with a ghost pirate captain, got so flustered about asking Ashton that she just wants to cuddle

Despite the awkwardness they still just laugh and joke together through it, they're awkward but it's in a sweet way

All of Ashton's immediate action the second they realised Fearne was missing - similar to how they wanted to find her after the shard incident but this time in a position where they could take action - no nonsense, no pissing contest with Chetney about her scent being on their bed, "Find. Them. Now."

And then still being soft after seeing Fearne again, because all that matters right now is that she's still here. And another post I saw said it better but, Ashton never seeks to change or 'correct' parts of who Fearne is; she can still follow cute animals just next time bring a buddy along (which given how they were in bed together would imply meaning them), they love her for her, fae and all, they just want her to be safe

Not entirely ep. 94 but given how on 91 Ashton pointed out that they needed to sleep and 'figure out who they wanted to be', and then here ask Fearne to be there beside them so they could have someone to wake up to, it to me at least says a lot about what Ashton has already decided; and how despite both of them having dealt with grief and anger and helplessness by bottling it up, hiding away, and shouldering it alone, this time they both wanted to just feel at ease with each other

taliesin and liam could say, point blank, "we were not going to do caleb/molly" and people would STILL insist that "taliesin made his characters so he could romance liam :D"

[captainofthetidesbreath]

Generally, more people need to understand that EVERY Taliesin PC is an insufferable asshole who thinks he is The Most Correct Person In Exandria and knows so more than literally everyone else does.

This is why none of them would get along. They're all equally wrong in the very different ways they're certain about being right.

watching the sdcc panel and i am just very :) about how sweet their answers to “what are some of the micro moments from the game that have stuck with you the most over the years?” are. taliesin saying what the fuck is up with that which was the first like The Party Gets To Know Each Other moments of c3. travis saying asking his wife if he could kiss her in campaign. marisha going way back to the cannonball competition in campaign one. ashley choosing the beauyasha date but also just the silly goat noise matt made. liam adding onto that to compliment matt roleplaying grass so well and then saying his favourite moment was writing a story for laura and reading it to her as caleb for jester. and then matt saying that was his answer, and that his favourite moments of the game are when they find ways to give gifts to each other whether tangible or not. and sam saying his favourite moments have less to do with the story and is more so when he can just. see his friends across the table from him. when marisha perches and when laura and ashley are (badly) drawing dicks and liam saying he loves when sam sneezes and ashley tells him to stop it and just. yeah. they Are an extremely popular online powerhouse, but i’m so happy that they’re also friends building a world together out of gifts to and love for one another.

like i Am so enamoured with the characters and the world of exandria but the moments when you can feel the love that those people have for each other reach out from behind the stained glass of their performances (to steal a metaphor from brennan lee mulligan) are so extremely special and i am endlessly grateful that they decided to share their silly little home game with the world.

Taliesin: “Very curious of the nature of what would have happened if Molly had gotten through that fight. But that’s a big—that’s not even a little bit—that’s big, that’s affecting the timeline—” “It changes everything—”

does this mean taliesin is going to talk more about what it would’ve been like if Molly was alive when the somnovem started waking up,, cause man—

[artemis-pendragon]

Widomauk still haunts me every day of my life because it's SUCH a good dynamic and if Molly hadn't fuckin died we could have had a traumatized angsty Liam character x unhinged hedonistic Taliesin character romance and that would've been absolutely unparalleled

I love Laudna and Ashton so much.

Laudna dropping their backstory last ep and Ash getting kinda pissed and going "yeah it was awful, like really traumatic and shit. Thank you for reminding me of that" and Laudna pretty much ignoring them in both an effort to divert from her and her girlfriend but also to get them to FINALLY maybe deal with their shit is so..... they're siblings your honor. They're besties. They annoy each other for the other's own good. They have heavy, profound conversations while getting drunk in random taverns. They get each other so much and also not AT ALL and it somehow works because there is so much reckless care there it could power a city. I am OBSESSED with them.
