Nothing I've ever created goes harder than the sentence I just wrote

"Percival De Rolo died with his family. The creature that survived is just the fragments that remain. A shadow of a man with enough anger to burn down the world."

[authormars]

I have a question about which Percy we're talking about. Are we talking about bathtub scene Percy or jail cell Percy? Because jail cell Percy, yes, should be breakable as hell. But bathtub scene Percy should definitely has muscles, the dude works in a forge all day. He shouldn't be built like Grog, but he should definitely look more muscular than Vax

Look I have to get this off my chest

Percy should *not* be that muscular

The man was tortured and presumably starved for weeks, and then spent the next several years living on the edge of society. By his own admission he could barely scrounge enough to eat!

He is lean *at best*. I should be able to count his ribs goddamit!

i truly am baffled by some of the cr fandom when it comes to the topic of the gods and c1 and death in general because. the raven queen didn’t kill vax. in fact she gave him more time. she Does get the blame from keyleth and some from vex but even those two by the end were more so just holding grudges wrapped up in their own issues that were exacerbated by vax’s choices. but it was always vax’s choice. which, y’know, i’m aware of a portion of the cr fandom’s propensity for dismantling every interesting choice a character makes into something forced upon them, but the role of fate in exandria has never been like bad faith you must adhere to the path chosen for you, it’s much more like what brennan has spoken about wrt specificity: as one makes more choices they become more particular to a given outcome. but that’s not some curse by the gods that dooms characters that’s literally just. what living is.

and of course death is a complicated thing that everyone approaches differently but. god the amount of people who view vax’s dynamic with the raven queen as an injustice or his death as some unforgivable thing the raven queen caused some how? in the words of laura bailey, Were We Watching The Same Orb? it isn’t an injustice that vax, completely willing to pay whatever it cost him to save his sister, was bound to the Deal He Agreed To. his role as the champion was one he found meaning and purpose in. further, it was the raven queen that allowed him to be resurrected later in the campaign. like, it isn’t fair that vax had so little time but it is time he chose and time he was given, but vox machina tends to fall on the reaping the benefits side of unfairness of power in exandria. if what makes the gods — particularly the matron of ravens — irredeemable is that they have the power to make choices that mortals can’t like denying someone’s resurrection, how irredeemable must the group of heroes called vox machina (whose members drop like flies to be revived moments later) be to the everyday person who just has to watch the people they love die and make peace with it?

of course it sucks that vax could not have a happy ending or epilogue like the rest of vm, except of course, vex has a family and is happy and loved, and keyleth is strong and alive and protected, and i think that looks a lot like what vax wanted most.

the rolling with difficulty critical role crossover would be hilarious. and full of guns (@indigorithmic)

Pike and Scanlan getting married and divorced and remarried multiple times is SO perfect I love that this is canon now.

[loudestlibrarianongodsgreenearth]

A Bard's Lament was incredible as everyone said it was, a real heartstring tugger. that being said, i can't help but think about how it was basically set off by Percy* doing this to Scanlan

“i love you” + vex

“I love you.”

“Rhhhah.”

“No - I love you.”

“Rrroak.”

“I. Love. You.”

“Roak-ak-ak-ak.”

Vex’ahlia sighs in exasperation and expunges what air’s left in her lungs by slumping against Trinket. The raven flutters back a few paces at the movement, watching her with its head cocked. She can’t stand looking at it anymore, so instead tips her head skyward. Everything’s greys up there: silver if she’s feeling fanciful, smokey if she’s not. Which she isn’t, anymore. 

It’s not that fucking hard to say. 

She’s heard cats and dogs grumble it, as close as they could get. Trinket has, too - a low grumbling Ruy ruh r’ou’ that the twins have been absolutely determined to get him to repeat. And the colorful birds of Marquet which can say all that and more. That one week they spent at Dalen’s Closet, Keyleth had shrieked in surprise when one chirped canItouchyourbutt - oh, and Vax had made it his goal to teach it how to say fuck, and - 

Well. Now she’s here. 

All those birds are probably dead. Or maybe they aren’t - she doesn’t know how long they live. But she’s surrounded by the same ravens that flocked to Whitestone after Vax - after, and she’s really, really tired of them only repeating the stupidest shit.

Percy didn’t teach Leona to say fuck. Neither did Cassandra, or Kynan, or any of the childrens’ favorite guards, and Vesper would never. Grog and Scanlan know better, now that Pike’s on their asses for Juniper proudly declaring things shit. 

She’s very sure it’s the ravens. They do say fuck, and hello, oy you, and pretty birdie, and - well. Shitballs is probably her fault. Indirectly. So is motherfucker. 

(Look: they always pester her when she and Trinket hunt something down, even after they’ve been given the offal, and she really, really is bereft of opportunities to swear with all the kids running around the mansion, alright? It’s cathartic.)

Yes, very cathartic. But now the ravens taught her toddler to say fuck, and she really should do something about it. 

Vex’ahlia rolls her gaze back to ground level. The solitary raven is watching her still, throat feathers fluffing with its breaths. 

She’s pretty familiar with most of them now; this one has a bad habit of trying to steal her knives when she’s cleaning a kill. He’s very glossy, with a notch in his tail fan. It. It feels like a he. 

Trinket’s breath is a reassuring backdrop, his fur too-warm behind her in his humidity. She feels out a little scrap of meat, getting both the bear and bird’s attention. 

“Let’s try it again, darling. Come on,” she prompts. “I love you.”

The raven opens his mouth, feathers ruffled as though he’s about to squall - but he shuts it with a clack, considering her. 

Again: “I love you.”

“Rah-ah-ah-ah-ah.” Like it’s laughing.

… This will take a while.

(If pressed, Vex would say she wasn’t sure why she started with I love you. Maybe because she loves Whitestone, and wants to tell it that without being weird. Because it’s something sweet that could make people smile. Or because Percy will certainly jump if he hears her voice somewhere he doesn’t expect it.)

(Maybe because her voice, echoed within a hard beak, might just sound deeper, and more like Vax’s. And it would do her well to hear him say it again, and hope that he hears her too.)

Officially reached campaign 2!!! Bring it, Mighty Nein!

[authormars]

Keyleth has a garden that she tends to. Occasionally, she'll pick flowers from it that are interesting or ones she knows Percy likes and will take them down to his workshop. He has a vase that she puts new flowers in once a week or so. When she started doing this, it was mainly to make Percy feel included in the group.

Now she finds metal flowers planted in her garden that are perfect replicas of the ones around them, right down to the color.

It’s our girl, Keyleth! 💚🍃

i’m having normal feelings about tlovm perc’ahlia and (long-standing classic on my perc’ahlia playlist) liar by paramore

[aq2003]

finally put down what soul eater au percy looks like in my head

[piratespencil]

I’m 13 minutes into the VM vs M9 one shot and it’s already so horny. Already a contender for horniest episode of CR.

[katia-dreamer]

oooooh for the character thing i gotta ask abt percy de rolo 👀

MY BOI.

First impression: A fancy pants with a stick up his butt and a gun? I love him.

Impression now: DISASTER GUNMAN. NERD. ASSHOLE (affectionate). MY BLORBO.

Favorite moment: Oh, everything with the Briarwoods. Every single one-liner he drops, the title, and everything in the Feywild. So many more.

Idea for a story: again- my docs are literally overflowing. :S

Unpopular opinion: I don't really have any. :)

Favorite relationship: Vex by far even before they started dating. I like his friendship with Keyleth, too! And Grog!

Favorite headcanon: I should have mentioned this in my answer to Vex, too, but I have a lot of favorite headcanons. One of them for Percy is that he eventually makes Vex a pocketwatch and gifts it to her so that she can always keep an eye on the time. (I've even written this one.. that's how much I like it.)

Thank you!!!!

[staticrevelations]

do u think we're not seeing vilya so as to avoid TLoVM spoilers ?? certainly it's not to avoid actual C1/C2 spoilers right ? but like we already have vax spoilers so uh lol

[authormars]

Do you guys ever think that Vax gave Percy shiny objects and random metal things because he has slight raven bird brain from the armor and Percy, in his infinite autism, thought "The perfect gift. I could make something out of this"
