I have risen from my fanfic writing drought with a new fanfic in a new (to me) fandom

Summary:

A vaguely Leverage (2008) inspired TMA fic where Jon and Martin act as assistants to Elias and Peter, who are rival evil corporate business owners doing probably shady things. The Magnus Archives Team (Tim as Grifter, Sasha as Mastermind, Melanie as Hitter, Basria as Fixer, Georgie as Hacker, Daisy as Thief) often thwart all of The Avatars of the Fears, who are all rich business moguls. Jon and Martin deal with paperwork and dealing with their very evil bosses.

I haven’t release a fic chapter in a year but gang I do not want my work used by AI so unfortunately I will be locking my fics to registered ao3 users for right now.

Fuck AI and taking from creatives who want to write about their freaks.

There is something so satisfying seeing Lilli use this really powerful and raw side of her voice. I’m so used to the really enchanting melodic lullaby tune she usually sings in but this is so beautiful and so incredibly emotional. It is a really great encapsulate of Imogen’s specific type of rage, not the bloodlust rage that Chetney was capable of or the justice seeking rage that really drove Ashton. Imogen is just literally that girl and this song eats so hard.

[your-enby-antihero]

This is such a testament to how deeply Lilli Furfaro understands these characters, the slow guitar plucking 8n the beginning to represent Laudna finding herself after death and the way that each verse builds off the last then just stops when Laudna dies. This echoed the past songs (Vax and Molly) where death is shown as incomplete verses but when this one picks up. The lyrics about Imogen and their relationship was peak cinema. Literally what an amazing song.

[your-enby-antihero]

I know we always say that Lilli makes song that sound like a lullaby but imagine this coming out a music box that FCG had built in their model.

A caretaker often needs to comfort the ache of their charge and this song both soothes and picks at the wound that FCG’s death left on the party.

Imagine Ashton after the events of the finale on the road, a little music box that FRIDA gifted them from FCG’s previous model, just holding it close to their chest and feeling warmth without fire.

Go listen to the song, go feel the pain and the comfort, go have a smiley day 🌱💛🌱

It’s time Romans... I’ll see you in the Senate 😈

[your-enby-antihero]

If you are a creative you should listen to this song, there is such gentleness and comfort that Lilli encapsulates in this song for Chetney. The things that make him so charming and sweet are also his silly and a bit crazy energy, before the last stanza of lyrics there is this bit of guitar that is just a bit off from the steady rhythm that I can’t get out of me head. Seriously go listen right now!

[your-enby-antihero]

Y’all go listen to this song rn because holy shit was Divergence just a love letter from everyone at CR and their extended family/friends to Matt. To 10 more years of crying to Critical Role’s most nerdy ass voice actor. I love you very much and I’m so excited for the Thursdays to come 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

[your-enby-antihero]

Holy shit fucking such a good song this week. Lilli Furfaro really captured the steadiness and erratic nature of Ashton. The steady rhythm of the guitar that is melds perfectly with the more spoken lyrics opposed to some of Lilli’s other CR song really is so Ashton. Literally all of y’all got to go listen now!!!

[your-enby-antihero]

This song just bangs, Lilli Furfaro is a wordsmith and a bard extraordinaire. There’s so much wonderful playfulness that matches Fearne so well. This song has a venom that perfectly incapacitates the fae energy of Fearne.

I have no drawing talent but the lyrics are just begging for visualization (see my rambles under the cut)

Picture the start of the song in Nana Morri’s collection room, Fearne lounges on a chair that may or may not be made of a stretched face.

“I want everything | the world, a pearl to wear upon my ear” Fearne grabs a trinket as the camera pans around it showing the shine of the object as we cut to Fearne brushing a finger along one of the shelves

“yes, everything | a boon, a brief identity to steal” The camera focuses on the multitude of trinkets and objects around the collection room as she sings “identity to steal” she is moved to the screaming hedge garden, her head in place of one of the shrubs heads. She holds the severed shrub between her hands “a souvenir” in the next phrase (from “but here” to “I know them well”) there are shots all around Ligament Manor with floppers and Fearne’s other animal companions around

For "‘cause I have seen my cage, and I have teeth" it shows Fearne finding a portal to the material plane as she walks through it the screen is black and we only see her eyes glowing, she smiles and it reveals razor sharp teeth. The next shot is of Tal’dorei in ExU prime we move through the first few iconic moments of the campaign (peeing off the roof, Gilmore’s shop, ash hole) that all leads up to a shot that pan up to meet evil Fearne in the Mirror reaching out to grabs Fearne

“Inside me I just want to watch it burn” show Fearne and evil Fearne running through a frozen version of the fight as the frame is engulfed in fire. As she sings “indulge it, and the ones I love get hurt” we see Opal with the crown in her head the black ichor dripping to wipe the frame possibly quick flickers of the start of Campaign 3.

“Identity is bloodless | no sire speaks for me” the black ichor collects into Ira’s silhouette and shows Birdie and Olli and Zethuda all in shadow and Morri with a warm if not scary expression.

“My path is predestined” show the red tether that comes out of Fearne’s chest connected to the image of Zethuda but Fearne grabs the tether, “I’ll take that dull suggestion and burn it all away” the flame emperors shard being used to cut that tether to Zethuda as she transforms into her titan form, the tether burning up and thus burning the picture of Zethuda.

“and everything becomes lives of all I cannot lose” The smoke from the burnt image of Zethuda travels up into the silhouettes of all of Fearne’s friends and loved ones.

“I’ll take anything” Fearne grabs Imogen’s hand as they both stare into the storm infront of them on Ruidus, Bells Hells behind them.

“We’ll get to choose” shows Fearne plucking a golden thread and spinning it up in her hands into a scorching ray in battle with a shifting figure that goes from the spider queen, to otohan, to Ludinus, to predathos. “From here, I’ll meet the monster, I’ll steal the secrets, I’ll be the blaze” shots of Fearne and Teven Klask with the kiss on the ring finger, Fearne watching Downfall, and finally Fearne facing the council of gods with bells hells.

the final set of lyric for the song we return to Ligament Manor, the group (bells hells, exu cast, guest players (like Deanna and F.R.I.D.A)) all in Fearne’s sight as she sits back down on the original chair from the beginning and pulls out a golden thread of fate that she knots as the last lyric is sung.

there all the brainrot out now I can be a normal guy again 😮‍💨

Another beautiful Lilli Furfaro song is out today, just wanted to share some of my favourite lyrics

second sons can’t greet the day

a choice in hand to move or be moved

there is freedom in a name

I could actually just list the full song because it’s brilliant but these lines are so incredibly amazing and capture Dorian so beautifully

[your-enby-antihero]

What a gorgeous song, literally keeping me teary eyed after the finale. Cannot wait for the next one!

[your-enby-antihero]

It’s Bells Hells finale night… I’m not going to be able to watch it all because I unfortunately have responsibilities the next day but I just want to put all my mushy sentimental feelings out there.

Thank you to the cast and crew and all the amazing artists and guests who have made this campaign possible. I started this campaign at a really fragile time in my life and the constant laughs and joy that I gained from this campaign pushed me through to being in a much better place. I am grateful for the crazy ups and downs that this campaign offered to bring colour to my life.

Imogen, Laudna, Chetney, Ashton, Orym, Fearne, Dorian, Fresh Cut Grass, Braius, and all the guest, all the NPCs, all the reoccurring player characters who returned. I adore every single one of their journeys. Can't wait to see the journey end... Tears will be shed but I am excited to see these beloved babies in the future. To 10 years in Exandria and 10 years of Critical Role.

Hi,

It’s your friendly neighbor fanfic author here. In the light of this apparent new trend of people feeding unfinished fics to AI to get an “ending,” and some people even talking about “blanket permissions,” let me just say this:

I EXPLICITLY FORBID ANYONE TO FEED MY FICS TO AI. DUDE, THAT IS ABOUT THE LEAST RESPECTFUL THING YOU CAN DO. IF YOU DO IT, SHALL YOU BE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM YOUR FANDOM AND WALK ON LEGOS BAREFOOT TILL THE END OF DAYS.

That is my anti-permission.

Thank you for your attention.
