#fearne i know what you are

“this is laudna, the most beautiful. she died”

[deaddcas]

there's something so funny about Fearne watching her person fail to climb two trees in a row and then deciding to do it herself and making it to the top

[broodygaming]

Often I think people need to separate above table stuff and in game stuff, but here I think the opposite needs to happen.

I don't think the narrative is "Fearne NEEDS to do this" it's more "hey Ashley you're allowed to take cool stuff and take risks and it'll be okay."

Like, we all know Travis is gonna pick up the talking sword and wanna keep it, even though it's a risk, right? Why. Why do we know this about him? Think about it. He's always willing to do the risky option. Take the least tred path, because it's THERE and he trusts the story to catch him on the other side.

Ashley from day 1 being on the show, even her telling the story of that first fateful birthday party, she's TALKED about feeling insecure, not wanting to pull focus, wanting to sit back and watch the others play.

For so long, this is great, everyone just wants her to be included. (This isn't me, like, reading into this btw, these are their literal words.) People online would complain about how "wow Yasha was actually here for a full ep and she barely spoke". She's talked so much about how she often just wants to watch what's happening.

Enter Fearne, Ash is here for every single episode. She's chaotic, she's in the moment. She wants to push all the red buttons.

But does she? Does she actually push a lot of red buttons? She steals stuff, sure. But she still has this "I dunno I don't wanna be disruptive" aspect to her, her being Ashley, not Fearne.

This isn't just about "Fearne does or does not want the shard". To me, it seems it's more about telling ASHLEY, hey, you're allowed to take the big magic item. It's okay. You have it. You be in the spotlight. You get the power up. PUSH THE RED BUTTON DO IITTTTTT THE STORY WILL CATCH YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE. It's less about Fearne trusting herself and more about Ashley trusting her castmates.

Again. Don't be weird. This isn't like, reading into anything that deep haha. C'mon. Like Matt literally told her in a 4SD you gotta take risks and do the scary thing and trust it'll be okay sometimes. That's the game.

I still can't believe Critical Role in the span of 2 weeks went 'hey remember that ship you like? Well we have this whole episode endorsing it which is awesome' just to suck me in and then this week go 'now that we got the table invested, Taliesin will now whiplash everyone like Imodna did with the sisterzoning but also maybe denial or gauging reactions' and then leave us on that FOR THREE WEEKS

Day 500

Wow, day 500. How insane is that?? Time has seriously slipped away from me and as I write this it's almost day 501.

These past 100 days have been insane. We got noticed by Ashley on two different occasions, including a 300+ post liking spree on Christmas eve! Talk about best gift ever.

If I can be real for a minute here, I've been falling out of my hyperfixation with CR a bit, but seeing how excited you all are on this blog definitely makes me feel better. I love how much you all love Ashley and I'm so happy I get to bring you joy.

I just hit 1.05k iirc, which is just so cool. I'd love to see 1.1k by my birthday in March!! I'm so proud of this little community I've somehow managed to build. Thank you all.

(and if anyone here happens to be a lurking Yelena Belova fan, my dms are always open 😘)

What happens when your body very quickly and permanently changes and you don’t have time to grieve the loss before accepting the wonderful new? aka I wanted the besties to talk and comfort each other so here’s this (and a lil excerpt):

“Orym” the gentle voice of Fearne came through the door.

“Come in Fearnie”

The door slowly creaked open and in came Fearne holding Little Mister, no longer in her fully elemental form, but still different. Hair of fire, horns crackling magma, finger tips burning, and tears slowly streaming down her face.

Orym sprang up to meet her “Fearnie you’re crying.”

“Can I sleep in here tonight?”

“Of course Fearne always”

He tentatively reached for her hand, afraid of being burned, and she quickly gripped his with a certainty that said I won’t hurt you I will never hurt you and placed a warm kiss on his forehead.

Chetney: if I couldn't control the wolf I wouldn't be here!! I would leave!!!

-flashback to irl time last year-

*Chetney needing to be chained on the skyship after attacking Orym and Fearne during a Ruidus flare, to avoid attacking anyone else, and everyone being supportive of his struggle despite the very real danger*

Me: mhm sure Chet. Sure you would.

[maluspumilaa]

a series of short haired imogens because i was havimf Thoughts, yall.

+ a fearne because i have eternal brainrot

[densitywell]

really though like it was the same thing with ashton last month (and imogen several times before) where people's interpretations of their actions would be at best in deeply bad faith and at worst just blatantly incorrect. and when they got called out for villainizing a character while failing to understand even the basic facets of them they would be like "ugh stop coddling them you're allowed to admit when your favorite character has flaws"

[willowbirds]

Sometimes it’s so silly being a multi shipper for every combo of the Bell’s Hells Witches because I go from

‘Aw, Imogen’s canon art has Laudna’s thread bracelet’

To

‘But what about Fearne’s ribbon that’s also part of the bracelet :(’

"okay–nana. if she was extra, extra powerful. that would be good, right?"

[dreamsrunfaster]

Can't tell if Liam was ready to switch characters and therefore set Orym up for the most tragic possible end over the last three episodes or if Liam just constantly plays all his characters like their tragic death is an episode away

[sparring-spirals]

Appreciate Chetney being like "well, you returned from your impromptu quokka trip unscathed and you saw some cool stuff so this seems like a net win!" like on one hand, incredible attitude, perfect for Fearne. on the other hand, absolutely the kind of enabling that gets rat Fearne's head stuck under a door and then interrogated by cops.
