Helena and Caleb have been busy burying the hatchet and starring in their new hit sitcom. Currently accepting theme song submissions!

Clue card designed by @surely-sims! I thought it would be a cute detail to add. 🥰

Previous / Next

Caleb: Miss Scarlett with the dagger in the lounge.

Helena: Are you sure you’re not just describing your sister on a bad day?

Caleb: Oh, you mean every day?

Helena: Speak of the devil and she shall appear.

[canned audience laughter]

Helena: Regrettably, Miss Scarlett is out of contention. My turn!

-

Helena: Caleb, look! Poor little thing. Where did you come from?

Caleb: More importantly, how is it still alive? Animals don’t have a tendency to thrive around here, wild or domesticated.

Helena: She’s a girl! We should keep her!

Caleb: Lilith would hate it. She might even…

Helena: Lilith will not touch a hair on her body! [in baby voice] I’m going to name you Drusilla.

Caleb: Hold on. Is that a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference?

Helena: Oh, well, I went down this research rabbit hole after… you know. It may have included a Simflix binge. Is it forbidden media now?

Caleb: Of course not! [sheepish but excited] I actually have the full series box set upstairs. Should we…

Helena: HELL YEAH, WE SHOULD!

Helena: Drusilla, come back! Don’t you want to meet your namesake?

Lilith: Disgusting little goblin. What particularly loathsome circle of hell did you claw your way out of?

Jester follows Caleb in, dutifully, loyally, ready to fight on his behalf, of course. Of course. And Fjord balks, a little, everyone hesitates, for a moment. But she was always going to go in. She was always going to go in. How could they let Caleb go in there alone, facing Trent, facing his undead parents? Facing his worst fear, his worst guilts, his worst enemies. She follows him in.

How could they let Caleb go in there alone? With just his parents, with Trent. With just his parents, almost the same but not quite, speaking and moving, with Trent and his poison honeyed words. Facing his worst guilt, and a twisted form of forgiveness, and something he has been aching for but cannot have. She follows him in, because she loves him, because she wants to protect him, because shes sorry he has to face this. Because she. Is sorry.

She follows him in, because Jester is always willing to do what is needed to protect the people that are hers. Jester is always willing to do what she has to do to protect her people, whatever that looks like.

Jester follows him in, and looks at him and says- I'm so sorry. And casts Turn Undead.

i am BEGGING someone to ask essek and astrid how they know one another and instead of them being like "yeah we're bitter rivals, he's kryn, she's dwendalian, we're both wizards who were formerly evil but tried to be better (kinda), opposing sides of the wars, traitors to our people" or whatever, one of them is just like "yeah i'm fucking her ex-boyfriend/yeah he's fucking my ex" or something else cunty like that please it would be so funny

#i love them so much #caleb sure does know how to pick them #i WILL be beginning my shadowgast rewatch thank you for asking #critical role #shadowgast #mighty nein #bells hells

Okay but I need to know what the people who have only watched c3 think about Beau and Caleb because I've been rotating them in my head for three years too long to be objective anymore but like. Getting to see them through the eyes of a new party just reminded me that even though so much of our delight in C2 was focused around the constant indignity of the Nein, they are objectively a flickering metronome between "how the fuck are these people alive" and "this is the most hyper competent group of mercenaries I've ever seen" and I just. Do they know. Do they know that Beau is so fucking cool. Are there people who learned these two npcs have a whole campaign and want to learn more about them. I look at these two and see a montage of tiefling dicks and red eyes and promising to kill the other if something goes wrong. I see Caleb smearing mud and bat shit on Beau's face and Beau just resigned even as she makes the most aggrieved and annoyed sounds, Beau hauling Caleb's dissociated ass over her own skinny shoulder and walking him to safety. I look at them and see 500 hours and more of the empire siblings. The weeks and months they spent going from hating the parts of themselves they saw in each other to loving in the other what they still struggled with in themselves. I see chosen siblings, best friends. What do other people see?

She is and I love her so much I wrote 800 #Sorry eight hundred thousand words about her #Several thousand of them also about Caleb #So don't be a dick please #Whatever your thoughts these characters brought people out of some dark dark places #It's me I'm people

of the many injustices put forth toward the show by fans i think the most overall damaging and telling of a complete lack of critical viewership is the idea that sam riegel builds his characters with nothing more than the bit in mind. like you are only telling on yourself if you think characters like scanlan shorthalt and veth brennato are one-dimensional and depthless

#if im being exTREMEly generous i can maybe understand this view of scanlan if you started c1 and then gave up 30 episodes later #he played the long game with him more than any other and a lot of his growth could be looked at as shallow if you DIDNT watch til the payoff #but any time this opinion is used as a blanket over all of his characters including tary and even FCG.. like be serious #i mean at this point im definitely biased bc he is my favorite player at the table. However. that wasnt always the case #and even when i was myself writing some character choices off i NEVER applied that to the characters themselves. how can you?? #seen sooo many ppl criticize him for making veth an alcoholic or scanlan irreverent & hedonistic as tho it’s only possible #to play these traits as shallow jokes or at best played out satire…. and then the same person will turn around #and praise how percy was built to be pompous & superior and jester immature & self-centered and caleb steeped in self-effacing hubris #why are these characters and their players given a near universal acceptance of nuance and acknowledgement of growth & healing #but SAMS CHARACTERS ARE NOT!!!! #this turned into such a rant but it bothers me SO much. everyone at the cr table is so goddamned talented #and takes the game as seriously as it deserves #so many more points i could argue but this is already so goddamn long no one is reading this far. i love sam and all of his characters <333 #critical role #sam riegel #scanlan shorthalt #veth brennato #my posts

Thinking about Caleb and how so much of his story ends with him finding meaning in the temporary.

He spent so long chasing a way to bring his parents back, but in the end he had to accept that they were gone. They were temporary. He has his memories of them now, but that’s all. And he has to find peace with that and find a way to remember them fondly, even though they’re gone now, truly and completely.

He and Essek love each other dearly, but there will come a day when he will have lived his life and grown old and Essek will still be Essek. But even so, every moment they spend together is still meaningful. Even if it ends, it means something.

Just. Caleb and loving things even when they won’t last. Maybe because they won’t last.

#Even Caleb and Molly/Kingsley too #cause I can never stop with my Widomauk bullshit I love them So Much #Molly lived his life on borrowed time and he knew it #and King was Molly’s second chance at life #and Caleb only has memories of Molly now and he has to be ok with that #and maybe find a way to love Kingsley despite those memories #I’m So Normal about them can you tell #caleb widogast #critical role #critical role spoilers #critical role campaign 2 spoilers #cr campaign two #essek thelyss #shadowgast #widomauk in the tags

I was asked for more Golden Guard ghost memes, and so I share more

the Guards have never met Evelyn because ghost reasons but I know in my heart that any time they see one of the living grimwalkers get a crush they just do a peace sign to the heavens like "still living on, Evelyn!" and Caleb always looks like some mix of confused, offended, and mildly touched. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6

#the owl house #toh #toh memes #memes #previous golden guards #golden guards #caleb wittebane #evelyn clawthorne #emperor belos #philip wittebane #belos #ghosts #grimwalkers #ghost caleb wittebane #ghost golden guards #theres the one aroace guard who is SO INFURIATINGLY PISSED that the entire reason he existed and then died was because some dude got a girl #then got laid. and his brother proceeded to kill him over it. like im sorry THIS IS THE ENTIRE PROBLEM??? ARE YOU PEOPLE FKCING STUPID #make no mistake plenty of others are also peeved about it but my mans strangled caleb on SIGHT like could you NOT JUST KEEP IT TO YOURSELF #that guard is facedown on the ground like i was the perfect guard. didnt even betray. wouldnt have run off to kiss someone. and he killed m #weed guard proceeds to hit blunt like well he wanted us to be caleb. and the fact is that caleb is in love with a witch. no matter how much #he hated it. its physically part of caleb. to remove it is to make something that isnt caleb. he cant clone a new caleb because of obvious #reasons but also because if he did hed still kill it because the real caleb is still someone who left him and loved a witch. he killed the #real caleb for it. you wont kiss a witch so you arent caleb and you need to die. some of us will kiss a witch so we're too much like what #he hated about caleb and we need to die. the 'perfect caleb' isnt caleb its someone entirely new. he knows that. so nothing will ever work #*drags blunt* also you were a try-hard

Listen, listen, l i s t e n, Hunter's been tormented more than enough, but I've had this persistent gut feeling since Eclipse Lake that Hunter's gonna be face to face with another grimwalker at some point.

Belos says in Clouds On The Horizon that he wouldn't make another grimwalker unless the current one has been "Dealt with"

And the last time he sees Hunter, he looks like...this. Unconscious and definitely not breathing.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, why wouldn't he give it another go? He's already done it countless times before.

#grabs you by the shoulders #shakes you violently #I REALLY HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN THOUGH #PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF G O D HE'S BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH #(But there's SO much evidence. and also the concept is really cool) #the owl house #owl house #toh #thanks to them #toh season 3 #hunter toh #hunter noceda #emperor belos #phillip wittebane #caleb wittebane #oooooooh i know he's fictional but if i get my hands on that geriatric puritan puddle of sludge #I am going to put him in the fucking GROUND!!!

Who wants some Vatore lore? 👀

The library is Caleb's sanctuary. Most of the other gaudy, expensive crap in the house is Lilith's, but this is the one space he refuses to let her touch, as it's where he spends most of his time pursuing his many creative endeavors (he's had about a century to pick up a talent or twelve). His bedroom is more spartan, and it's where all the "shabby" furniture has been relegated, but he doesn't mind. It's also where he indulges his guilty pleasure of watching campy vintage horror movies. Lilith thinks pop culture is a cesspool, so he keeps this activity strictly to his secret "man cave" (Lilith's derisive way of describing it), but that doesn't stop her from giving him shit for it anyway.

But Lilith has her own guilty pleasure in the form of trashy romance novels, so she's hardly one to judge (plus, you know, there's all the ruthless killing and stuff).
