#i think about the 2x94 conversation for the nein

[utilitycaster]

I must admit I do find it kind of weird when people are like "hopefully Bells Hells will talk about their feelings as a group this time" like even the prior two campaigns, where the parties had, in my opinion at least, much stronger bonds and regular communication, it was pretty rare to have a single big "having it out" group conversation as opposed to a number of side conversations, and on the occasions when they did have a large conversation as an entire group a lot of people whined that it wasn't good because it wasn't a corporate ice-breaker and/or grade school style "go around the circle and say something nice about someone else". Like there is not going to be a fix for discourse because some people are wicked stupid, is the problem, so don't let that bother you, and conflict resolution takes sustained time and many forms and it's more interesting if it lasts a while anyway so stop being so fucking scared of it because it will make your taste in fiction dull at the very minimum.

[id: 8 gifs of beau & caleb throughout critical role.

1 - 2x49: beau: “don’t run. you can say you don’t believe in anything, and that’s fine. believe in us, just a little bit?” caleb: “...i will consider it heavily.”

2 - 2x22: beau & caleb in an agonizingly awkward hug, clumsily patting each other and looking to their friends for any kind of guidance.

3 - 2x97: beau & caleb motioning to yasha during her conversation with lord sharpe: beau forcefully miming the brutal acts of violence yasha should enact on him, and caleb trying to keep the situation in check but indicating that maybe he should be just a little bit stabbed.

4 - 2x68: caleb: “do you ever wonder what’s on the other side?” beau: “of what, the bridge?” caleb: “oh, that too.”

5 - 2x31: marisha, miming beau indignantly pulling books from the shelves: “i look at caleb across the library.” caleb sees her and gives her a proud double thumbs-up; she looks at him sourly before returning his gesture with a middle finger.

6 - 2x99: beau: “come here.” she pulls him into a slow hug. caleb: “what are we doing?” beau: “we’re hugging.” caleb: “what is the occasion?” beau: “i mean, i think we ended war amongst our people.”

7 - 2x109: beau: “i’m glad we’re friends. i know it was a rocky start.” caleb: “i don’t know what you’re talking about.” beau: “yeah, we were always great.” caleb: “we were always great.” beau: “yeah, it was all in good fun!” there’s a heavy pause. caleb: “you drove me insane.” beau: “i hated you.” caleb: “yeah.” beau: “yeah, you sucked.”

8 - 2x94: caleb: “follow your own advice. don’t go.”
