man, liliana is so funny to me because, like. obviously i think narratives where a persecuted group is at fault for their own persecution are objectively bad for a lot of reasons, but her specifically saying how ruidusborn are gonna be hated after this like she specifically isn't directly responsible is crazy. girl, the vanguard are actively traumatizing ruidusborn to make them more powerful!!! you are the ones that are setting up all ruidusborn to get fucked over!!! they have existed for so long with a lot of superstitions about them, yeah, but it would've never become a crisis situation like this if y'all didn't do stupid shit like this!!!

#critical role #cr spoilers #liliana temult #everything about the vanguard is SO funny #all of their beliefs are hypocritical and/or self-fufilling prophecies #i was gonna make a post like this but that last gifset i reblogged reminded me of it LMAO

[balleater]

I'm sorry. Are you?

#liliana #orym #gifset #cr spoilers #orym rules in this but also liliana is so funny to me. girl the only reason they would be doing that is bcuz of u and ur group specifically #ruidusborn have existed for a Long Time and there were superstitions about them yeah but like. ur actively the one who made this problem.

This hits so differently now

You know, I think there's something so, so insidious to the idea that Orym's perspective of the Vanguard is "flawed/human" or that him repeatedly reminding his friends what the Vanguard does (kill innocents to achieve their means) "blocks nuance" in the conversation, etc, because it implies that, in this mythical "objective" perspective that apparently exists, the Vanguard aren't so bad. If only Orym could put aside his petty grievances and let people be nuanced about this situation, he'd see there's two sides to this story. And why discount the Vanguard's perspective just because *checks notes* they're a massive, manipulative cult that preys on vulnerable people to join their ranks and turns them to violence, or that they work with a centuries-old fascist eugenicist literally mind-controlling psychic government with the goal of freeing a creature that could very well destroy the world as we know it and even if it doesn't, will leave an enormous power vacuum for that fascist government to potentially occupy when they invade Exandria?

I think there's some misconception people have that they think war shouldn't ever be personal and if it does become personal for someone then their logic is too clouded by their feelings to see the situation clearly, just automatically. And perhaps sometimes, in some contexts, this can be true! But not here. It's actually quite cut and dried that Orym's "flawed, human" perspective is the one reminding everyone of the human cost to Ludinus' grand plans, all in the name of so called "progress"

#cr spoilers #GREAT ADDITION #god the projection of real world religion onto exandria's gods is fascinating to me and also is my archnemesis #honestly fandom projection in general is such an issue with this campaign idk if i just didnt notice it in the last ones or it Is worse now #but yeah. who would've guessed that the fans of The Hypocrisy Cult would be hypocritical in their analysis. what a shock.
