THIS!

If I had a nickel for every time a Critical Role campaign began its third act by having the party meet up with a colorful, magical, floaty boy love interest for Liam's character while said love interest was at the beginning of a personal arc Liam's character had been on for quite some time, I'd have two nick......you know how the rest of this goes.

We are two campaigns deep into Liam playing a queer man. And as a queer man I love to see it. And two campaigns into Talisen playing a nonbianry humanoid. And two campaigns into Marisha playing a wlw. Can we just stan the queer represention???

liam casually confirming that there ARE romantic feelings between dorian and orym means so much to ME, personally, as someone who felt like i was insane for saying that i shipped them back in the very beginning of their time together

which, i shouldn't have in hindsight, because liam literally said, "orym gives dorian the same look that a spouse gives to another spouse" in exu: prime and that was only out-gayed by robbie's "i look to orym, as i always do" which was said multiple times, also

like bruh these bitches were NOT subtle

Here's a website where Palestine GoFundMes are vetted and shared that you can send out to people. The url is gazafunds.com

Easy to use and simple. Just share the site whenever someone asks for GFMs for Palestine.

a little study i did to try to depict Essek looking as realistic (within my style) as possible. you can tell i was serious by the fact that i blacked out his clothes so as not to get distracted from the task at hand /j

i encounter a few persistent issues when i draw Essek; it's not only in him not being a real person that i can't look at to then draw accurately as far as his facial features are concerned, but also in the fact that purple people don't exist. i can't study, from pictures or real life, how skin of that color would behave in different lighting, how the blood vessels would appear from underneath it, what shade the sebum would highlight the nose and forehead with, and on and on and on. i can only make an educated guess, and it takes a lot of mental math each time 🤭 so here i tried paying special attention to the realism of it all, to see if i'll learn something! my art is somewhat (semi-)realistic as is, but there still is a fair amount of stylizing going on, and i wanted to have a bit of fun figuring out where it happens. so far noticed that i tend to exaggerate facial features and make them larger than they would probably be on a real person (noses and eyes in particular), and my art could benefit from more different hues when i'm doing skin, especially green.

very excited to try doing Caleb next \o/

detail!

tip jar!

Fjord wouldn't be confused by the spiders. He knows his Besties wifey eats bugs.

Beau: Would you like something to drink? *opens the fridge* We have water, milk, juice, spiders, Dr. Pepper-

Fjord: Spiders?

Beau: Spiders it is then.

Fjord: No, that wasn’t-

Beau: *already pouring him a brimming glass of spiders*

Beau: What do we say when life disappoints us?

Caleb: Called it!

Beau: No.

step one to overcoming social anxiety is to realize that most people kind of suck and their opinion of you is literally worthless

would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I will say this for the rest of my life: CALEB IS THE BEST! That's it.

I really love that Liam, like Caleb, started off thinking time travel could be a real possibility for the character as a right course of action & the narrative journey was about them both deciding that wasn't the way to go. Which of course how iterative improv storytelling works, not having an endpoint pre-defined, but still. It's just cool. That wizard really went through that growth.

Molly: why would I fuck a demon? Simple; the status. Imagine rolling into hell already having your back blown out by one of their own. Imagine you and a gang of other losers standing at the gates of hell, they’re all crying, scared to death about having a pitchfork up their ass for all eternity and you just walk into the arms of your sugar demon? Legendary

The Nein:

Beau: are you SURE you want this one?

Caleb:

Caleb: well…

[critcallyobsessed]

I’m on my shit again so bear with me.

Do you think that if Caleb had been given the power to go back in time and save Molly from the death that he had, would he? Would he hold his cheek and stroke the sweat stuck curls from his forehead like the first time Molly had broken Caleb out of his mind in that cave. Would he have told Molly that he would be okay and that they would take care of the rest as Molly fell into unconscious sleep. Would Caleb Widogast have shouted for Molly to take care of his health instead of using that Blood Curse? Would Caleb Widogast finally get to truly thank the person that sent him on a journey of healing and family?

Alternatively would Molly have held Essek’s hands as Caleb told him he was not truly evil deep down in the hull of that fateful ship. Would Essek have seen the bright colourful tiefling and seen the most in a second lease on life. Would Essek have gotten to walk alongside the saviour of his saviours.

Would Mollymauk Tealeaf have been loved so fiercely by people who owe so much of their growth to a silly carnival barker? What if given the time they had been allowed they went to love and be loved without fear of death stealing it away?

None of this makes sense but… I’m in my feelings about what could have been with shadowidomauk.

Scanlan does NSFW things in the traditional sense. Percy does NSFW things in the sense that he doesn’t really give a fuck about workplace safety when he’s doing his blacksmithing or anything similar.

The cat prince should be a childrens story

🥺🥺🥺 Ashley wrote Yasha's letter so she could read it out loud to Beau 🥺🥺 and then like two minutes later Caleb translated for Jester a children's story from his childhood that Liam had written just because Laura told him Jester wanted to read Caleb's books.

I just 🥺 I love that they get to spend their time being creative to give each other little gifts within the story it makes me cry a little bit

I take back every ill thing Ive ever said about Keyleth. I was wrong. She is much stronger then I knew and much more then I thought.
