Ok, I'm only missing a couple of one shots and then I'm done with campaign one. What a journey, I'm forever changed. Couple of things:
- We were ROBBED of a proper Scanlan and Pike kiss!!!
The way their relationship ended up was super sweet and fitting. But I also think that considering the way Pike reacted to Scanlan being away for a year, and the adrenaline and fear for the battle, Pike would have kissed Scanlan. Even just out of curiosity in case they didn't survive the battle. I hope to see it in the animated series at least.
- I was so disappointed that we didn't get any Gilmore closure, but having now started on "the search for Grog" I'm glad they took care of that. I can tell Sam was insisting on it (I guess he realized that was something the community felt was missing and he noticed). Damn I love this character so much!! How he evolved from "business man first" to "savior of Taldorei" (out of love of Vax and Vox Machina). His reaction to finding out Vax was dead was heartbreaking.
Currently just thinking about Sam saying "what a nice story" and Travis saying "let's do it again"... And well, catching up on campaign two won't be as easy I think... But oh how I want to.

so i spent the last two years writing a critical role campaign one fanfic.
title: if i went and hurt my body (would you love me the same)
author: ghostlyGremlin
fandom: critical role (campaign one)
pairings: multiship, vax'ildan vessar/shaun gilmore, vax'ildan vessar/vox machina, vax'ildan vessar & vox machina
category: m/m, m/f, multi, gen, f/f (mentioned)
rating: teen & up
summary:
Vax'ildan Vessar hides his soul marks from the world for a reason.
He is broken. He must be.
No one should have that many marks.
~~~
A soulmark AU where soulmates can be romantic or platonic, and you can have more than one. Vax is a bi disaster who doesn't quite grasp the fact that he can love as much as he does and its not a crime.
word count: 9,592
warnings: mild language, sexual innuendo, allusions to sex/sexual activities, use of alcohol, implied/referenced homophobia (past), canon typical violence, serious injuries, mild/hurt comfort, emotional hurt/comfort, self-esteem issues, implied/referenced alcohol abuse/alcoholism (light), discussions of religion (in the context of dnd gods)
additional tags: discussion of polyamory, polyamorous character(s), bisexual character(s), transgender female character, trans vex'ahlia, soulmate-identifying marks, platonic soulmates, romantic soulmates
Read it here!
more misc info and my own commentary below the break <3
its called "if i went and hurt my body (would you love me the same)" on ao3 and i literally spent exactly two years writing it!
its a Soulmark AU focused on Vax'ildan and his relationships to his Marks and the people he loves.
there are allusions to vax's relationships with all of vox machina, most of which can be interpreted as romantic or platonic according to preference, except for three.
vax and vex have each other's Marks, but their relationship is NOT romantic.
vax has gilmore's Mark, and has explicitly romantic feelings towards him.
vax does NOT have keyleth's Mark, but has explicitly romantic feelings towards her.
this fic is meant to be an exploration on (what i see as) vax'ildan's polyamory and his own self-esteem, specifically in relation to being polyamorous. im poly myself, and i related very deeply to vax's struggles with his feelings for gilmore and keyleth when i watched c1. and even though its been years since i last rewatched c1, i wanted to write something about this character i had fallen in love with.
over the past two years, this fic has received so much genuine support, attention, and love from the critrole community and i couldnt be happier. ive been a part of the cr community for around 2.5/3 years, and it is one of the kindest most loving fandoms ive ever been a part of. writing this fic was a hell of a journey, and every single person who commented, left a kudos, or even just read it means the world to me.

Critical Role: Final Words
Updated as of 9/15/2022, spoilers up to C3E34.
So given RECENT EVENTS, I thought it would be interesting to make a record of the "last words" of each Critical Role PC before their respective deaths, regardless of whether or not they were rezzed later on.
Obviously your mileage may vary here, since it can be hard to parse out what's said in and out of character, and it's possible I missed things as I was reading through the transcripts.
I'm only focusing on the main game here, as a note, so no Calamity.
Big thanks to https://kryogenix.org/crsearch/ for making searches a lot easier.
If there are words in brackets, that means those could also be final words, but I'm not sure if they count.
So let's get started! (Spoilers below!)
Grog's Death, C1E11, 3:33:33:
Scanlan: Grog are you okay?
Grog: Yeah. (scoffs) But a tickle. [No one told me he had a lightsaber.]
Vex's Death, C1E44, 4:21:10:
Vex: I'm trying to-- Brother, I'm going to go look at the stuff that they're finding, okay? Be safe!
[Later on, she also said "All good, Kima!"]
Grog's Death, C1E50, 28:36:
Grog: Yeah, I would not turn down some delicious boar.
Percy's Death, C1E68, 3:52:20:
Percy: No matter what today, I forgive you, but I cannot let you leave.
Vex's Death, C1E80, 1:46:45:
Vex: You don't got no wings anymore.
Vax: She dead?
Vex: No.
Scanlan's Death, C1E80, 1:54:22:
Pike: Oh, sorry, Scanlan, I didn't see you there.
Scanlan: Well, I'm behind a dragon, honey, it's okay.
Scanlan's Death, C1E83, 2:11:00:
Scanlan: You so dumb, when thieves stole your horse, you chased them down and said, "You forgot the saddle!"
Percy's Death, C1E83, 1:27:19:
Percy: She's down and vulnerable!
Raishan: Not as down and not as vulnerable as you think.
Percy: Oh, shit.
Vax's Death, C1E88, 4:22:00:
Vax: [to Vex after she frees him from a Kraken tentacle] Love you!
Keyleth's Death, C1E97, 14:59:
Keyleth: We're gods!
[Marisha may have said this out of character, but Vex then said she heard Keyleth say this at 28:35, so it's canon now.]
Vex's Death, C1E102, 2:28:15:
Vecna: Come, and be the next sacrifice for the new age.
Vex: You're a dipshit!
Vax's Death, C1E102, 2:19:23:
Vax: No one walks away.
[Alternatively:
Vex: *rolls a nat 20 on a con save*
Vax: *unintelligible yells*]
Vax's Death, C1E112, 3:44:23:
Vax: All right, fucknut, let's do this.
Vax's Death, C1E115, 1:40:12:
Vax: How lucky I have been to have had all of you. How lucky, indeed. Thank you.
Vex's Death, C1 "Dalen's Closet," 2:03:50:
Sylas: I've been thinking about this moment for so long, I planned so many elaborate ways to torture you and tear you apart and--
Vex: Tell us about them.
---------------------------------------
Molly's Death, C2E26, 3:57:23:
Molly: [to Keg about an enemy] You got that one?
[Alternatively:
Molly: *spitting with blood*]
Caduceus's Death, C2E55, 58:30:
Caduceus: Are we moving?
[Unsure about this one since Tal doesn't RP talk a ton during combat, so this is from even BEFORE the break.]
Nott's Death, C2E83, 3:11:39:
Nott: Teach me how to read and write. Just kidding, I'm very smart.
Fjord's Death, C2E98, 3:13:10:
Fjord: Intruders!
Yasha's Death, C1E30, 4:03:00:
Yasha: I am your champion.
[This actually occurred in the episode BEFORE her death, which was episode 131. We're counting this since it was said before she failed her last death save, even though she was technically still up and moving.]
Jester's Death, C2E140, 2:22:55:
Jester: Arty!
Caleb's Death, C2E140, 2:37:57:
Caleb: You're killing her, you're killing her, you love her, you're killing her!
---------------------------------------
Bertrand's Death, C3E3, 4:08:02:
Bertrand: Lieve'tel...
Orym's Death, C3E33, 3:14:45:
Otohan: We've met before.
Orym: Yeah.
Fearne's Death, C3E33, 3:32:15:
Fearne: Boy... that was a hell of a run.
Laudna’s Death, C3E33, 3:29:19:
Laudna: We’ve seen the leylines. I know where they’re converging.
[Another instance of last words spoken the episode BEFORE she actually died.]
