Orym's argument against Ludinus Da'leth and the Ruby Vanguard is essentially "The purpose of a system is what it does."

This is a systems theory coined by Stafford Beer around 2001. He posited there is "no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do." It does not matter what someone tells you a system does if it does not reliably do that. The things it does consistently do are the actual purpose of the system.

Ludinus (and Liliana) claim the purpose of the Ruby Vanguard's violence is to free Exandria of oppression from the gods. Orym's point is that they have not consistently protected anyone from oppression. They consistently murder innocent people, indoctrinate vulnerable people into doing terrible violence (including children), support a ruling class that dominates the population through mind control and eugenics, and seek to release a predator so terrifying that the warring alien gods and native primordials worked together to seal it away as a threat to both of them.

So the logical conclusion is that the purpose of Ludinus' system is not to free anyone from tyranny, it's to install himself as the tyrant. And it does not matter what Ludinus says it's for or even what he believes it's for. The purpose of a system is what it does. And Orym has been personally and repeatedly victimized by what it does. Why wouldn't he keep reminding them of that?

Add onto that, the Ruby Vanguard is a death cult. They lure people in with believable lies. They use propaganda to control how people view them and to convince people to support them. Liliana has been groomed into a true believer who genuinely thinks what she has been told is true and that Ludinus' system does what he says it will. She has been convincing other people of this for years. Not because she's an inherently bad person but because everyone generally tries to convince others that what we believe is true. It is actually dangerous to let a cultist try to talk you into the cult's perspective. That's why Orym shuts it down.

Orym was already on edge but it's fully in a breakdown after FCG's sacrifice. One more iteration of Ludinus' system consistently murdering the people he loves. But he still told Imogen he wants her to have a good relationship with her mom again. He wants Liliana to make it through the other side of this. But that has to involve consistently stating the reality of what's happening against what she believes.

Ludinus believes in the rapture of the revolution. Burn everything to the ground on a fundamental level and a new perfect society will grow, with him to guide it. The reality is that kind of power vacuum consistently leads to horrific violence and conditions often get much, much worse. Especially for vulnerable people, who often do not survive. A lot about the gods' relationships to mortals probably needs to change, but this an incredibly dangerous gamble to fix it.

The purpose of a system is what it does. Any suggestion otherwise is cold comfort to Orym's family in the ground.

What will Sam's next character be?

After the tragic and absofuckinglutely awesome ending of Fresh Cut Grass in the last episode of Critical Role... it looks like our beloved bot cleric is no more, and Sam has to create something new. So. Here are some options...

#illogically im rooting for a few Luc episodes #but i know thats probably not gonna happen

[fandomtrashenby]

How do you want to do this?

—

Goodbye, Faithful Caregiver.

[fandomtrashenby]

Listen, I think Sam should play Luc for a few episodes.

Not for the rest of the campaign necessarily buuut just for like an episode or two as a treat.

#critical role #bells hells #critical role spoilers #luc brenatto #im aware that this wouldn't make much sense plot whise #but just lemme dream a little #i really like Luc okay?

Anyone wanna be cr mutuals?

I love the fandom (with certain exceptions but that is to be expected in every large community on the internet) but never really had any connections in it. I want someone that will yell about silly DnD blorbos with me ✨️

I usually just pop up to post art and leave again but would really like to be a little more active

#critical role #bells hells #i love them your honor #critters #mutuals #hey im lonely

The last thing I want is Orym dying again, WITH ONE EXCEPTION:

They bring Dorian back to participate in the resurrection ceremony

#yes please #this #gimme all the angst juice

[fandomtrashenby]

Why did I think this wasn’t gonna take long?

Anyway here’s molly, he’s fun to draw and cool looking but his design is so complicated omg (anyone who cosplays this guy deserves a medal or smth)

He’s one of my fav in tm9, sad we didn’t get to see more of him rip ):

Rly proud of this overall think I actually got the side profiles right with minimal headache this time :D

Taliesin on 4SD: "Orym is the only one in this group with a working moral compass."

Ashton: Never take copper. You take gold regardless, and silver if they're an asshole, but you never take copper.

Ashton: It doesn't matter if the Ruby Vanguard are making good points about the gods. They're hurting innocent people to get what they want, and that's reason enough to stop them.

Ashton: *is super apologetic and upset that they have to knock out Elder Barthie to protect him from being discovered by the Imperium*

Ashton: Remember that we're here as guests. We are going to follow the instructions of the people who have already figured out what they need.

Me: *side-eyeing Ashton real hard* Orym’s the only one with a working moral compass? Mm'kay. 🤨

[ID: A digital illustration of Orym from Critical Role sitting in a low lit room, surrounded by his shield, breastplate and boots. He’s smiling and holding up his sword. There’re some splatters of blood on one side of his body. End of description]

I think I’ll never get tired of drawing Orym. What a sweet young lad.

Also, I’ll leave this one under the cut just because he looks soft and I couldn’t decide which one I liked more.

Keep reading

I've no language left to say it,

- Hozier, Foreigners god

I'm still desperately hoping for these boys to meet again and have a sweet gentle reunion

We're born at night

So much to the life is just carving through the dark

To get so far

And the hardest part is who we are

- Who We Are, Hozier

Ngl i fuckin hate this piece but i had the urge to draw something Ashton related but not the emotional stability to actually drsw an emotional scene thats really related to ep 77 / 78. (Even though I'm itching to draw Ash having a full on mental breakdown or some Ashton/Fearne)

I kinda hate how the background looks but its 3am so i should probably go to sleep. Maybe I'll actually make this look acceptable some other time

"Have you not realized that im a hypocrite?" This. For everyone unironically mad, please realize that this has been the core of ashton's character for eons. The moment he said "i need to be the hero" i knew hed be fucking toast. This is ashton, yall
