Please Leave + The Critical Role Table

[bookwyrrm]

I love that Fjord gained one iota of muscle and Nott immediately started flirting. The woman knows what she likes!

[revvethasmythh]

losing my mind, Beau and Caleb were the OG "big moon, little moon" aksjfsakjfk

[thequeenofmyownscreen]

Eleven things I noted about CR2E76 “Refjorged” (amazing title !!) (no Talks Machina about it) :

The thousand yard stare that Mica has during Sam's ad... Yeah, same, girl, same.

Marisha looks extra beautiful tonight, with her hair braided that way on the side

The Mighty Nein remembers the last time they robbed a rich noble house, and Jester ads that Beau was almost killed by an evil rug. Reani : "Okay, no carpets for Beau." Beau, a disaster lesbian, who cannot resist doing a lesbian joke : "... Well... I mean..." Oh yeah that deserved a fist bump.

Caleb, pretending to be Beau's assistant to the weird scholar : "She's like the big moon and I am the small moon behind the the big moon." LIAM HOW DARE YOU (I love seeing campaign 2 after campaign 3 so much !!)

I love Marisha and Travis together and every conversation between Beau and Fjord, but this one was one for the ages : Beau offers Fjord athletics lessons and following her morning routine, Fjord says he doesn't know because he tried one push-up once and it hurt his body for two days. Beau : "That's like... every day of my life !" Fjord : "Oh, really? God, you don't show it." Beau : "...The pain kind of turns me on just a little bit. Don't tell anybody that." Fjord, bewildered and blushing : "... ok..." Beau : "I hope that doesn't dissuade you to come work out with me ?" Fjord, very quickly, and obviously lying : "No. Not. At. All."

Nott and Jester, they are not the Not(t) the Best Detective Agency anymore ! They are STONE-COLD KILLERS OF GUARDS holy shit that was awesome. I love heists because of shit like this when something goes hilariously wrong

Caleb detects a trap with strong necromantic vibes inside the armoire that is basically the Narnia armoire since a secret chamber is hidden by it. Caleb, very ominously : "That's a bad...armoire..." (the cast peals away in laughter)

Seeing Marisha search through her extensive notes because she knows she heard "Jagentoths" somewhere, seeing Matt so proud of his wife for taking extensive notes and remembering the stuff... so cool. Also thanks Sam who doesn't remember much but also takes notes and can search through them efficiently !

Fjord's alliance (there's no other word... this is a biblical alliance) with the Wildmother is... the music was so etheral and pure... the words of comfort... this was so beautiful I cried.

Ohhh Beau and Reani yesss !!! Jester is right, Beau gets so much action.

Oh, I love Mica Burton so much <3

I WAS ZONED OUT FOR LIKE A MINUTE WTF

[mapleandgingeroatmeal]

CR2E75-Rime and Reason

knocked this one out quick during a long shift. Here’s thoughts!

Every time Essek has a moment of vulnerability I understand people’s interest in him a little more. The detail of his toes scraping in the snow is still fun!

I am still suspicious of his character; my impression of people shipping him w Caleb was just fandom shoving two sad boys together while ignoring interesting female relationships, but maybe that won’t be the case!

I was kinda sad about the yetis! I feel like Matt was setting them up to be potential allies or at least a conversation, but the gang bought into Reani’s pov about them so instantly that there was never really a chance for that

Fjord and Caduceus’s thing was so sweet! I love the dynamic of human saves another in a terrible place while also learning more about themselves than they ever meant to. It does still make me sad how much Caduceus sees people as jobs and not people, but that doesn’t mean he can’t mean a lot and do something very important for Fjord. 

It’s such an interesting character choice for Nott to egg Reani on to put herself in danger. such an interesting example of the grey morality this character specifically exhibits: she cares, yes, but she’s also pragmatic and not ashamed to prioritize her own family.

Wow was the dragon stuff ever intense! There’s less to say about combat encounters, but I did love how this dungeon forced creativity. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! 

The screaming when the dragon was clawing at them was so fun: and I noticed specifically that Taliesin was very specifically choosing not to yell Cad looked scared, yes, but he was still calm-ish, even in the face of that dragon. I haven’t decided yet if that’s an admirable level of self-control and patience or a worrying level of emotional suppression. Maybe both?

Bread?  Bread!  I like bread...  Where’s the bread?

Love those adorable dumbasses.

Buy me some bread:  Ko-fi.com/lovelylanie

[irregulargnoll]

there were so many excellent moments tonight, it was insane, like:

- Marisha’s perfectly timed carpet joke

- Caleb’s secret beer pong victory

- Fjord’s meaningful and much anticipated return to power

- “I LIKE BREAD”

- Fjord learning more than he needed to know about Beau’s kinks

- Nott rolling a nat 20 and just. killing the shit outta that one guard (bad); Jester attempting to dress up the corpse to be less Extremely Dead (good)

- the 45 second period where they’re all just laughing because “that’s a bad armoire”

- Marisha’s perfectly timed carpet joke

I like bread.

I like bread.

I like bread.

I like bread.

I like bread: I like bread.

I like bread.

I like bread.

I like bread.

Having friends who also like critical role means that they know shit you don't yet because you're a full year behind but as you catch up you can just send them random jokes and it all makes sense. For instance, 🦇❤🍞 resulted in us quoting almost a whole scene to each other. Fandom in-jokes are the best

[justalittlebluetiefling]

I still love Laura’s choice to not have Jester drink that often. And she’s never shy about it. She doesn’t hesitate to say no when she doesn’t want to. I like that about her a lot.

[epicureanstyle]

Fjord is not a creature of faith.

He’s not like Caleb or Beau, with an affiliation to a god that means something to them, but who they’re too burned (too broken, too angry, too cynical) to try caring about.

He’s not like Caduceus, who tells him about trusting in someone benevolent and powerful and always on your side, even when you can’t see her hand.

He’s not like Jester, who tells him about trusting in someone who played with you, who you confided in, who promised that you would see the world.

He’s not like Yasha, who tells him about trusting in someone that promised you redemption, strength after tragedy, and the power to move on.

He’s most like Nott, who believes in little else besides her ability to protect the people around her, who believes that might be all that she’s good for.

But he’s not like Nott anymore. He’s not capable, not without his powers. He’s not lost, trying to go back to a loving family- Sabian betrayed them, and Vandren is fine without him.

Nott has faith in herself, and in the people she loves.

Fjord knows that he’s nothing without Uk’otoa. He can’t trust that these people won’t up and leave him when they find out.

Fjord is not a creature of faith.

But Caleb didn’t calculate his way into leaving Fjord behind. Beau didn’t lose respect for him. Jester didn’t cry, too betrayed by his lies to trust him. Caduceus didn’t change his tune, and promised that faith and destiny would see them through.

Fjord is not a creature of faith, but the Wildmother just asks that he try to do good, to protect the people around him and the world, and the Mighty Nein ask even less than that- they just ask him to be himself.

Fjord is not a creature of faith, but Fjord is Fjord, and for the first time, that might be enough.
