"bren sends his regards" is such a crazy way to tell astrid what's going on. maximum amount of info delivered in the shortest way possible. hey astrid, it's me, essek. caleb sicced me after your conniving ass cause he's too busy to schedule you in. the NERVE of calling him bren to astrid's face. hello astrid. it's me, essek. do you miss bren? have you ever known caleb? a dead boy asked me to find you. you're a single bullet point on his to-do list. do you regret any of this? successor, usurper, does it matter? you're just like ikithon, no matter what you think you are. you are still just like him. bren sends his regards. he didn't care to come here himself. antimagic. pinned to a wall. essek's outright disdain towards her. The Disrespect. i feel so alive

I've been watching Critical Role Campaign 2, never managed to finish it when it was airing, but this time I'm determined! Got 30 episodes left to go!!! Absolutely loved it, Essek is hands down my favourite Npc, what an amazing and complex character 🥰

Definitely want to do some more Crit Role fan art, and open to any suggestions if there is a particular character you want to see in my style 😊

The way that Dariax is the only one to end up alone at the end of this.

Opal has Fy'ra, they have their deities. Morrighan has Cyrus's soul for a moment and a Matron for a lifetime. Dorian has the Bells Hells once more. But Dariax... for a while, at least, Dariax will have no one.

And it's in the way that Dariax won't realize at first that he's been abandoned.

Maybe he'll think he lost track of time. He'll go traipsing through town, asking about a handsome blue bard, trying to figure out what inn they must've agreed to meet back at for the night. Because they must have, right?

The night grows dark, and still no sign. He'll get sick with worry. He knows he's thick, but surely he would've noticed if something happened, right? He would've known if Dorian was in danger?

And then... I don't know what's worse from there.

What story does he tell himself, in the end?

That Dorian blames him for not being able to save his brother? No, no, Dorian was taken—because he would never have abandoned him, not when they were all the two of them had left?

Dariax has always known he was a lot to handle. He's been told how exhausting he can be. He knows he has never been worth sticking around for.

But he thought—

—he thought that maybe he'd done it right this time. That maybe someone would stay.

Eventually, Dariax stops looking. He greets isolation like an old friend.

He plays his new lute to fill the lonely silence, and it does not help.

omg Edgar's scars! Holy crap. They look cool but brutal, and he looks more... ruffled. Unkempt. Troubled. (More Hyde than Jekyll?)

This episode is gonna break my heart, methinks.

alex and aabria at the same table committing shenanigans and tomfoolery of the highest order

[madness-of-alice]

Whatever you think of the timing of this little sidebar story, Aabria as a DM has done so much work in so comparatively little time to really establish the panic and the fear of the gods in response to Predathos. To put in front of the viewer with clarity exactly what they are prepared to do and who they are willing to align themselves with to save their own skin.

Aabria gets people and motive and societies and what makes them tick in a way that is so uniquely poignant. And hers is such an immeasurably valuable contribution to this story.

A lot of people have talked about Benoit Blanc’s accent. Was he always going to sound like that, was that in the original script?

Matt Mercer: Horror is monsters

Spencer Starke: Horror is human beings

Aabria Iyengar: We are the monsters and there is beauty and love in the horror

Liam O’Brian: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters
