At present, because it wasn't obvious whatsoever from the end of the last episode, their game plan is to a) fix Ludinus' harness and use it to defeat him; and b) use the harness in the Shattered Teeth to absorb energy to make themselves stronger.
New Ashton outfit! Highlights include knee-high boots, color-shifting fabric, black gloves with brass buckling on them, the pentagon symbol on the back of the black spiked jacket, a deep crimson lining in the jacket. "Do you believe in fate? Chaos has a fucked up sense of humor. It feels... I feel seen. It feels like a uniform. It feels just."
Orym, Fearne, FCG, and Nell travel to Zephrah's graveyard. It's a terrace atop a hill with flowers, impossibly bright and vibrant, connected to multiple of the same structures on different mountaintops. Will and Derrig's graves are marked by stacks of stones; a weathered chestplate sits against the base of Derrig's, and Will's sword is stuck into the dirt in front of his.
Meanwhile, Chetney, Laudna, and Imogen (with Ashton tagging along behind) head toward a hilltop to see if they can ride a skysail. They eventually bribe their way onto a handful of "training" skysails.
I forgot how much I love Chetney and Laudna's interactions. They're so fucking chaotic.
Chetney and Laudna dogfighting on skysails while Laudna's tandem is trying and failing to take back control of the thing and Imogen is just flying around near them -- this is peak comedy and has the exact same energy as Beau and Veth racing up the tree
Orym goes and picks up his commission. His new armor is almost a bodysuit made of dark brown leather; it's more battle-ready, more appropriate for the front lines than the more "Zephran casual" outfit he was wearing. The blacksmith tells him that Keyleth has paid for the armor, that it's his "uniform."
They head to Orym's favorite beer garden, the Aerie Eire, to have a drink.
Naturally, FCG finds this an appropriate place to bring up his god shit again. Like, I understand why -- it's a completely reasonable character choice for Sam to make, and perfectly reflects FCG's immaturity, naivety, and inability to make decisions on their own -- but fuck, it's really grating. FCG has had this black-and-white line of thinking since the campaign started, and they've just stayed behind while the rest of the Hells have grown out of those early-campaign things.
Laudna steps outside and goes to sit on a cliffside and meditate. Quietly, under her breath -- "Delilah? Are you still there? I felt a little pulse, back in Issylra. So I'm just curious." Nothing, then Imogen approaches, sits next to her. They kiss.
As they stand to go, Laudna hears a voice. "No matter who you pray to, no matter who you reach for, you are, and will always be, mine."
Chetney takes out the sword, and it tries to convince him that Keyleth is untrustworthy because she's an ally of the Council of Tal'dorei. (Sigh.)
Liam is way too good at acting half-drunk, lmao
"We should make a fire!" "Not on the roof." "Aww..." They return to Orym's mom's house, and debate sleeping on the roof or in the backyard.
Fearne scries on Dancer. She's in a dark city street, a little past sunset -- she's in Yios, being accompanied by a little spherical helper robot and a metallic bat-like creature. In her eyes, there's a battle between the magnificence of the city around her and the reality of enjoying it alone.
Ope, the players have started calling D "Devexian" --
Orym uses the sending stone. "Hey Caleb. I am in Tal'dorei after shit went down. You alive? We been drinkin'. But seriously, are you alive? Talk to me, goose." Orym's connection to the stone's enchantment feels crackly and broken, and there's no response. Laudna checks the scry ball, and it's dark.
They complete a long rest, and set off to see Keyleth. She's going to be hopping around the world to contact her allies, though they have very little information about where they're going and who they're facing.
The Bells Hells have decided that they're going to go to either Yios (to see Dancer) or the Menagerie Coast (to see D), then to the Shattered Teeth. Keyleth notes that, although she herself hasn't been to Evan'travir, Jirana can guide them there.
Keyleth has had a thought. "Perhaps... perhaps, when you feel comfortable and ready, maybe a mission of information, to go there and back, to see what we're dealing with." "A mission to the moon?" "I know it seems strange, but just yesterday, you told me there were people there, so..."
I think, through all this, that is the clue they needed. That statement is Matt definitively telling them that they do have time, they can go find Dancer and D, they can go to the Shattered Teeth and make it back on time for the fight.
Now that they're talking about it, it seems prudent to mention that Imogen summoning the reiloran spirit is her using summon aberration, and that the reiloran uses the star spawn stat block (see its psychic aura). And star spawn are specifically the twisted forms of followers of elder evils.
There was some left over, so Keyleth offers them the remainder of the salve that cured her wounds.
Also, Keyleth offers them a plan for transportation: she'll travel with them to either Dancer or D (and could regrow Dancer's arm with regenerate if that's where they go), then send them to the Shattered Teeth once they're done.
oh I cannot wait for Chetney to take a swing at Keyleth, just to see him get hit with a feeblemind
They teleport to Yios. "You ever been to a casino, Tempest?" Fearne uses locate creature and immediately clocks Dancer's presence.
They head to a nearby inn, and FCG and Imogen go up to Dancer's room. "FCG... I don't need to be fixed, alright? What I've been able to make here is a reminder of being careful where I put my trust." "Well, then can you... can you at least... I can't move on, I can't do my job, until I conclude this chapter with you. I did something horrible, something I can't live with unless you let me -- I'm not asking you to forgive me, I'm asking you to do something good for someone else." "If you really came here to help, to fulfil whatever fuckin' savior mission you put yourself on, I'll help, but... I can't do anything about whatever you've decided to put yourself through. The only one hanging on is you. I know it sounds harsh, but you gotta fuckin' move on."
She accepts their offer. She'll look at Ludinus' vest and will try to fix it, in exchange for FCG never talking to her again. She herself doesn't know exactly what it does, but thinks that Imahara Joe could offer some insight; so Keyleth transports them to Bassuras.
Upon arrival, FCG is attacked by Shithead, which is promptly killed and begins to reform. FCG casts identify on it, revealing an extremely strong necromantic power seated within the bird. Fearne uses speak with animals on it. "My master is gone and I cannot die, so I just shit on [FCG]... it's been so long, I can't even remember, but I once had a name... she called me Gargo." Alright, so this fucker is 100% the familiar of the mage FCG murdered during the Care and Culling, right?
So, on this: turn undead does not affect Laudna. She shouldn't have made a save, because Hollow Ones are not mechanically undead (they only count as such for detection, not spell effects); but regardless, she never could've been destroyed by it, because a PC's challenge rating is usually their character level minus 1 or 2 (so the Bells Hells' CR are all 9, Keyleth's is 19, etc.)
In Bassuras, everything has a red hue, as the perpetually flaring Ruidus casts its cursed light upon the Hellcatch Valley. And that's where we pick up next time.

One last time, y’all. This campaign and these characters have meant so much to me, and this seven hour finale was definitely an emotional rollercoaster. (Yes, I shed actual tears at one point, which rarely happens to me with media. But this is a special occasion.) These liveblogs are nearly as long as the episode itself, so grab a snack! With that being said, here are my very last liveblogs for Campaign 2 of Critical Role. As always, major spoilers below, so beware. 
Tumblr media
- Veth taking a level in Wizard, god I am really gonna cry ten minutes into this thing...  😭
- We got our first “stay with us” to Essek, I am emo...
- I was fully not expecting to say goodbye to Frumpkin, but now I’m on the verge of tears... farewell dear fey friend (Marisha saying “that wasn’t supposed to be what broke me” me too me too)
- “You’re a good person.” “I could be.” “You are.”
- “I think you’re a good person” I never thought that I’d hear Beau say that about Essek and this genuinely might be what breaks me... she thinks he’s a good person.... redemption is possible.... maybe love is real....
- If I end up crying over wizards, look away
- Jester lifting up Fjord’s arm to snuggle beneath it made me say “awww” out loud  🥺
- VETH GOING FOR A DIP IN THE POND, I AM GENUINELY SO PROUD OF HER
- “Aahhh!! It’s me! Your wife!” I am going to miss Jester’s sending so much
- Okay that accent bit was so funny, I am going to miss all of them so much
- REAL MOLLY IS BACK REAL MOLLY IS BACK REAL MOLLY IS BACK
- Oh but he doesn’t remember them... and Yasha is trying so hard to help him remember, it’s so so sweet 
- Something about the way he said “Tealeaf’s nice” made me tear up... I was neutral on Mollymauk early campaign because I went into things knowing that he passed away, but this whole conversation with the Mighty Nein is So Much. Also “Kingsley Tealeaf” 
- “Everyone should have a brother” as someone with three of them, I vouch for this  🥺
- a) I love Marion Lavorre (and Jester ofc!) so very much and b) I can’t believe that Jester’s parent trap actually worked??
- “I do not think Exandria is ready for how you’re going to change it” got to me... and it’s also so true. jester has already changed the world just by being kind.
- Good bye Marion... I love and will miss you so much! (And many thanks to Laura and Matt for creating an agoraphic single mother who raised a wonderful child <3)
- Beau and Jester teasing Marion for having a complicated relationship with Babenon reminds me of Caleb saying he has a complicated relationship with Essek...
- LEAVE CALEB ALON E FUOIKJLKGKNL 
- THIS IS ....... SO MUCH WORSE THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.
- Caleb’s biggest trauma(s) coming back to haunt him, I am genuinely going to cry I’m not ready for this I’m not okay
- Beau saying to Jester “Thanks, cutie” I love themmmmm
- INITIATIVE AAGJASKHDKJ AAAAAHHHH
- Essek’s Gravity Sinkhole did nothing? uhhhhh Mr Stark...
- EADWULF???? HELLO?????
- Essek using his entire turn to save Caleb last battle 🤝 Caleb using his entire turn to save Essek this battle
- ASTRID???? I TRUSTED YOU??? WE ALL TRUSTED YOU????
- Another Counterspell chain sdfdghjkdl wizards !!!
- “It’s just business” is literally the Neutral Evil line, it always gives me chills when any character says it
- This hurts more after Liam confirming on Twitter that Astrid/Caleb/Eadwulf were all three a romantic item... please stop hurting Caleb, you loved him  😭
- THE FJORD VS EADWULF SWORD FIGHT IS SO CINEMATIC I LOVE IT HERE ACTUALLY
- Essek taking every opportunity to pull Caleb to safety makes me so emotional...  😭
- “You’re not the first student I’ve had to put down” I am burning with my anger for you, old man 
- THE DISPEL WORKED LET’S GO CALEB.....
- Remember when Matt said that Essek doesn’t openly show concern/emotion? And now he’s saying “I’m scared” in front of his closest friends and his worst enemies.... growth my love.....
- BEAU AND VETH LETS GO CHAOS CREW LETS MF GO BABEYYYY!!!
- FJORD COUNTERSPELLING THE DIMENSION DOOR..... and Matt having him describe it.... is this taking the place of a “HDYWTDT” *eyes emoji*
- CALEB GOING DOWN NO, THANK GOD FOR THAT DEATH WARD
- Veth’s illusion of Caleb’s parents flanking Caleb in the flames.... that got me too, Liam
- “Stay down.” yeah, okay, that was sexy
- ASTRID BEING THE ONE TO ACTIVATE THE COLLAR IS LITERALLY POETIC JUSTICE... Trent being beaten by the student who stuck with him longest I love this so much, she deserved that moment honestly
- Break Time, AKA Emma Makes Her Weekly Mug Brownie Interlude
- Sometimes I feel like “death is too good for you” is a copout, but in this case it fits so well, I want this mf’s reputation destroyed and the entire operation exposed and overthrown let’s goooo
- “I loved you both so much”.... Astrid and Eadwulf walking away.... oh, Blumendrei... I know this is not the end of your story. What’s past is prologue, loves
- The Empire Siblings are gonna burn down the whole system because it’s the system that enables individual corruption... I am so fulfilled by this, god i love them
- “I love you too” OH MY GOD I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, FJORESTER ARE THE CUTEST FOR REAL
- Jester and Essek’s friendship still means so much to me btw just in case anyone wanted a check-in
- Veth giving the flask to Kingsley!! Good for her, good for her!
- OH Blumenduo are back already! I truly thought that was going to be their last appearance of the Campaign, why is this taking me more by surprise than Trent’s appearance
- “[Caleb] notes how similar Eadwulf and Fjord are” this is Widofjord adjacent... this episode we have gotten Widomauk-adjacent, Widojest-adjacent, and Widofjord-adjacent (and Blumentrio ofc), now come through Shadowgast and we can get a full Bingo on the “Bisexual Maelstrom” card
- Speaking of relationships, I am lowkey into the Fjord/Jester/Kingsley dynamic LOL no one look at me I’m in hiding
- I’M NOT READY TO SAY GOODBYE TO VETH AND CAD 😭 It makes sense and the fact that they have their families back is beautiful but also consider this: I’m sad and I will miss them 
- The goodbyes to Caduceus..... I am going to cry aren’t I?
- “If he’s anything like his mom, you won’t see him until it’s too late” Okay that made me giggle, I love Veth and I love Luc and I love their little family
- IS ESSEK LEAVING TOO? THAT’S GONNA BE WHAT BREAKS ME ISN’T IT
- If Essek leaves and we never see him again, getting a triple whammy of goodbyes I will be so incredibly sad, I cannot do this  😭
- If anyone is interested, no I am not doing well
- I was lowkey ready to get an Essek’s feelings for Caleb confirmation tonight, I guess it makes sense that we didn’t but I hope that this is not the last time we see Essek... I want to write another emo post about him and about how much he means to me but I will refrain
- CALEB BEING A TEACHER IS THE ENDGAME I WANT FOR HIM PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
- Wow, I really was not ready to see Caduceus and Essek go for some reason... I really wanted this Campaign to end on the image of the Mighty Nein together as all nine of them... I’m feeling so numb right now having to say goodbye  😭
- Oh, we’re in the epilogue now!
- When Fjord said “[the sea] is my favorite place to be” I genuinely felt that on a spiritual level... the ocean is home, it truly is and always will be for me as well
- “I CAST MODIFY MEMORY” FJORD LMAOOOOOOO
- Okay, that Widobrave ending is what made me shed tears for the first time this episode... not to be Personal but my biological brother graduates High School tomorrow, and for some reason this conversation just reminded me so much of me and him and now I’m emotional
- NOT THE SYPHILIS BANDITS DSYUHDFJKLSFJ;DS OKAY I NEEDED THAT LAUGH
- “I’d like to hear about your friend” Kingsley aww
- Beau giving Kingsley her first diary to help him realize who they all are is actually so perfectly fitting, I love that!
- “The other eight and I, yes” Caleb counting all nine of them again  😭
- CALEB BEING OFFERED AN ASSEMBLY SEAT WTF AAAHHH
- Oh shit, Astrid took the Assembly seat... I’m not sure how I feel about this, I feel so bad for her for having to stay in the system that abused her for so long and I would have loved to see her burn the whole thing down, but I hope that she at least has a sense of contentment with this title
- “I go where you go, baby” Beauyasha.... my darling loves....
- Beau’s dad??? But also Beau being the one with power over her father is so Good, I’m glad that she got justice on that front as well!
- This talk with Artagan... “I didn’t want you to be a god. I wanted you to be my friend.” and in the process my love you created divinity... maybe divinity is the friends we made along the way
- OH SHIT WE ARE GETTING ALL THE VANDRAN LORE TONIGHT I’M READY LET’S GO LET’S GO
- VANDRAN AND AVANTIKA WERE AN ITEM???
- Wait crack theory: Sabian was a half elf right? Could he be the son of Vandren and Avantika? Or is that too much of a stretch? 
- Vandran going with them!!! Also I feel like that moment between Fjord and Vandran was lowkey a tease to a post-campain Uk’otoa one shot and I am ready for it already 
- THIS BEAUYASHA MOMENT... “i’ve never known anyone as deeply as i know you” & “explore every bit of you in multiple ways ;)” & “your past doesn’t scare me, it only makes you beautiful” .... this is so much they are so much i love them so much
- “I will have you and then some” Beauyasha   😭
- I’m torn between “oh my god there’s still half an hour left?” and “how is there only half an hour left??”
- “You will let this Skyspear live at least?” oh my god so Yasha killed the last Skyspear then? Oof...
- YASHA GIVING ZUALA(’S GRAVE) THE BOOK OF FLOWERS, OH DEAR HEART
- And Beau’s talk to Zuala about being the luckiest woman alive and sacrifice.... 😭  
- PLANTING FLOWERS AT ZUALA’S GRAVE... “NO BETTER GRAVE MARKER” THIS IS MAKING ME SO EMOTIONAL, I KNOW I’VE SAID THIS A LOT THIS EPISODE BUT THIS TRULY IS SO BEAUTIFUL
- So... I may or may not be crying again
- Shadowgast with a steel chair??
- Caleb’s plan for saving his parents... it’s clear he has thought of this so much, oh my darling love  😭
- Caleb burning down his chance to change his past is so symbolic and something he really needed to do, it does make me emotional though
- The other book was him writing to his parents?? Oh bby boy  😭  
- While I would have loved for Caleb to open his own magic school (especially with Essek, or the Mighty Nein, or someone else as well), I am so pleased that he stays with Veth and that their friendship continues for the rest of their life because again: they mean so so much to me, and in a way they remind me of me and my biological brother (which I never realized before this episode) and yeah. They just make me Emo
- Also. Caleb being a professor was my Number One Endgame Hope for him and the fact that it came true is just so surreal in the best way possible. I’m so used to being robbed of happy endings. The fact that the Mighty Nein all got theirs makes me incredibly happy. A story does not have to be sad to be impactful. Happy stories and happy endings, especially during a time period of tumultuous real life circumstances, have just as much value and meaning and they always will. Caleb is teaching the next generation magic, and he is teaching them to be Good, and he is nurturing them, and that just means so much
- MATT CRYING IS GONNA GET TO ME
- “Let’s do it again” Please, let’s.
- Okay, everyone. I made it all seven hours in one piece with surprisingly minimal tears (though who knows, this might all sink in tomorrow.) I already wrote my thoughts earlier today about how much the Mighty Nein mean to me and how much this show and these characters have kept me holding on during quarantine and today... I’m still not ready to let them go, but I know that I can always revisit to say hello and to say thank you for changing me. Until then though... I love you all more than you could ever know. And for the last time of Campaign 2... is it Thursday yet?
Good night 💗

quick n rough liveblog for TLOVM ep 3!
- *chants* angsty backstory time! angsty backstory time! angsty backstory time!
- aw poor percy :( but also vex what are YOU doing up-
- keyleth my beloved. will i say that once per episode? maybe. even if she is a morning person.
- “emotions aren’t meant to be bottled up.” really vex? is that SO, VEX? IS THAT REALLY TRUE? VEX? VERY INTERESTING, VEX.
- vex cuddling a bear is NOT an equivalent substitute to unbottling your emotions
- sorry, im done now i promise.
- DOORS
- i have no idea if this was true in campaign as well but im laughing at percy just Eternally Suffering because of these HOOLIGANS! RUFFIANS! he HAS to spend all his time with. like sorry buddy. theyre yours. youre theirs. etc.
- you know what, this makes me feel better about how the m9 treated allura. middle of the night wakeups? yes. ball tapping right in front of her? no. win win. :)
- *holds out VM in formalwear* look they’re hot :D
-  i wanted to see pike being a menace. :) im glad im finally getting to see it now.
- oh that fishball lens zoom in shot of percy panicking was VERY anime. I feel like i saw it at least three times in soul eater alone. :D
- vox machina all immediately circling wagons around percy.... ah, my weakness. when parties just. protecc. 
- chenga
- lsdhfkajshlaj kima with stephanie beatriz’s voice being COMPLETELY unimpressed by VM... fantastic
- oh man percy :( also vm just being.. terrible dinner guests and ALSO very bad at being subtle. precious. 
- SIMON!!!!! :D SI M O N <3
- You know what, VM were not being subtle but NEITHER WERE THE BRIARWOODS SO ITS FINE I GUESS. Keyleth sitting there like: am i.. was i the only one who..... 
- i understand the aesthetics but why the hell is there just a random bird skull in your evil secret compartment. pate?? is that u?????
- maam dont hold your wine like that you madwoman
- vex what did we say about emotions, do tell me.
- yes no mercy percy, but perhaps percy deserves no mercy percy :)
- ah yes, the well known “Vax tries to threesome his way out of disaster”. you know what? understandable.
- anal beads came full circle. ..im not sure i ever wanted to say that sentence.
- *stares at sylas entrancing vax with delilah on the bed* actually im not sure vax DIDNT succeed at getting a threesome theres... a lot happening.
- vax... vax ur doing great.. well.. not great but like you’re alive, we’ll take it.
- man grog is lovely.
- PIKE! DOING GOOD! and then bad AND THEN KIKI!! COMING IN CLUTCH WITH A WALL OF VINES!!! HELL YEAH
- oh man.... percy.
overall thoughts:
- im sleepy so this might not make much sense but:
- hell yeah! wooo! its feeling much more like a standard (good!) show now, very much feels like they’re hitting their stride and telling a story, a little less self conscious, a little more natural.
- i keep forgetting that things are definitely different from the game, i.e Pike being there for all of it, probably certain combat details. I do know some of the more iconic lines, so its interesting to hear them a little differently. That said, I’m kind of enjoying that! like i know the characters, but everything else is fun and exciting and new.
- VM are really a nightmare for dinner parties huh. id love to know how much of that was canon vs not bc i feel like M9 in e97 were.... marginally more well behaved. *thinks back* actually no. nevermind. adventuring parties were not meant for fancy dinner parties okay. (fingers crossed for c3 party at a ball).
- I’m excited for the next eps! :D <3

Just caught this on my rewatch of episode 25: when Imogen messages Birdie (1:13:05), I think we can see/hear Matt roll at least two dice and check a spell description. With Sending, if the target is on a different plane of existence than the caster, the message has a 5% chance of not arriving — so Matt rolling here probably means that Birdie is not on the Prime Material Plane.
Or, at least, not the same Prime Material Plane as Bells Hells are on.

Because everyone’s making C3 posts:
Yes, I’ll be blogging C3! Episode 1 I will definitely be catching live even though I’m now on a later time zone. After that, I’m going to have to see week to week how I feel about liveblogging.
Here’s what you need to know for tagging’s sake.
I tag spoilers until the Monday/Tuesday following the episode airing. These are tagged #cr spoilers.
If I am liveblogging, I’ll try to tag everything #cr liveblog as well. This is useful if you’re not here for CR content and you don’t want to see 20 posts in one night about it.
I do tag by group name (#vox machina, #mighty nein) so until the party is named, you can track all content regarding the gang as #campaign 3.
I think that’s it? Happy almost C3 day!

campaign 1 episode 24 REDUX: The Feast OR here we go here we go here we go here we go again
(idk if I’m gonna make it all the way back through the briarwoods but I’M GONNA TRY and liveblogging helps me remember things so)
"nochi you already did this for these episodes" shut UP I have HINDSIGHT NOW
(edit: apparently my very first liveblog was actually for episode 25, go figure)
and also subtitles
so weird to not hear WEPLAYDUNGEONSANDDRAGOOOOOONS
"this is our 24th episode, which is RIDICULOUS" oh honey
UGH they're all BABIES
"Ashley's show Blindspot is premiering this coming Monday" my archnemesis
ugh, onion man
I'm skipping through the announcements and therefore have no context for this
Tumblr media
twitch layout showing the chat, my behated
I forgot this was only FIVE YEARS after the briarwoods killed everybody
"do you want them dead?" "...I think so."
travis reacting to how absolutely metal percy's List is
man last time I watched this I had an old TV for a monitor and had to flip between youtube and photoshop. now I have two monitors, yt fullscreened on one, notepad up on the other, and am doing art on my ipad. time marches on.
my only regret is that the cross-talk isn't captioned, that's the part I always want to hear
percy is what, 22 here? so all of this happened when he was 17?? baby
"you don't have to get involved in this" "yeah we do, you said you wanted them dead"
percy: don't get involved in my issues vox machina: you said murder, we're in
"you're stealing from a crying man"
the earrings!!
much easier to skip past onion man seeing as how he never wants to stay (or cooperate with) the group
gilmore!!
"excited to trade news with gilmore" is news a euphemism (yes)
"I just want to send the lizard to dwarf town" is THAT a euphemism
BABY ERIKA
the fact that the subs just say [break]
ngl I kind of miss when they had the wide camera on the room during break, I liked seeing everyone trickle back in for some reason
also this
Tumblr media
BEARD CHECK
the moment I learned matt has a bird
"no testicle advantage on that roll"
"at what point would a testicle advantage come into play?" "at gilmore's"
the birth of jenga!!
"you just broke a mechanical pencil!!" my absolute favorite moment that will never be animated
Tumblr media
this is just his face for ten minutes
Tumblr media
"high rolls startle him"
I want marisha and taliesin next to each other again in campaign 3 tbh
and thus I would call asami's gauntlet diplomacy forever
lmao marisha drinking a&w back before they needed to block out brand names
"you're immune to water now"
grog: "don't die" vax: "no promises" cries about it
the anxiety when matt starts over-describing an npc
"I can sense you, you dick"
method acting
Tumblr media
sylas: "we do what we can in honor of the de rolo family" percy: [deep inhale]
vax just yeeting himself into the briarwoods' room
"how you doing, taliesin?"
Tumblr media
"you're making it so much worse than I ever imagined"
"how am I gonna play my second character unless I die now?" cries about it
fff when they used to read out donors at the end of the episodes. BABIES.

And that’s the episode.
HOLY FUCK YOU GUYS
THAT WAS...HOLY SHIT
HOLY SHIT
YOU WEREN’T KIDDING THAT THIS ONE WAS A “HOLY SHIT” EPISODE
That was intense.  Oh my god.  Oh my god!
That’s an all-timer.  That really had me going.  The suspense!  The execution!  I was really strung along!  And watching Steven really get into the fight was horrifying all on its own!
That was intense.  Holy shit.
So!  Steven just killed somebody.  He brought her back to life after, but she was dead, and by his hand.  That’s some heavy shit.  It’s also, like...not to downplay what he did, because he did that and he needs to face up to that as a consequence, but this is definitely not what our boy can deal with right now.  And on top of everything else, Jasper is treating him like her Diamond now!  That’s going to screw with his self-image even more, since he associates diamondhood with nothing but bad stuff.
I don’t want to make this all about his issues.  He killed someone, and I don’t know how to process that yet.  This is such a complicated thing.  He’s done something horrible.  Accidentally, yes, but...still.  It’s going to take me some time to really process that this went down.    How are the other Gems going to react?  This is crazy.  What a turn this has taken.  And it occurs to me as I write this that the last four episodes will probably deal with closing Jasper’s arc, too!  It’s about damn time, I think.  Time to break her of her notions about her place in the world.
What’s not complicated is how good this episode was.  Fragments comes in at my new #2 for Season 6 (between Bismuth Casual and Snow Day) and my new #7 overall (between Last One Out of Beach City and Reunited).  That marks the third episode of Future to crack my top ten.  This season has had some low lows, but holy hell, when it’s on its game it’s on its goddamn game.  I’m looking forward to seeing if the last four episodes can do the same.
The last four episodes.  We’re almost done with Steven Universe.  For real, this time.  Last time I thought it was over...well, those were real tears I cried.  I don’t know how I’m going to react this time.  But...I’m sure it’ll be a hell of a ride.
The last four episodes air tonight, but we’re taking a short break from Steven Universe for a few days.  I’m going to do an episode of She-Ra next.  I need the break, and some time to process this.  Episode 11 of She-Ra will begin on Monday.
As for streams, we’re a few streams into Nier so far, and I’m enjoying it, mostly!  I don’t know if I have a stream in me tonight, but you’ll get a notification on here and the community Discord server if I do.  If I don’t stream tonight, I will probably stream tomorrow, but the new Borderlands 3 DLC came out this week and my buddy Eddie and I may be playing through it over the weekend.  You can click here for my Twitch channel, or click here for the playlist of Nier streams I’ve done so far.
I’ll see you wherever you plan to tune in, and thank you for continuing to support me!  The amount of support you guys have shown after I asked for more patrons has been wonderful.  Thank you guys so, SO much.  That’s going to give me some room to start saving up money, I think.
Anyways, until next time!  See you there!

Farewell to old friends, but not without some shenanigans. We learned some new information this episode too that has me side-eyeing everyone and everything! I can’t wait for next week but until then, here are my liveblogs for Campaign 3, Episode 4 of Critical Role. Spoilers beware!
Tumblr media
- Oh! Travis is there! (Also all of this merch is so cute I may need to put some items on my wishlist lol!)
- Oh, Travis is no longer there :(
- I love Imogen and Laudna’s relationship so much 
- Ooh so this is a recurring dream that Imogen has
- It was Orym who found Bertrand first... oh my goodness...
- “It’s not your fault, [Dorian]” “I know.” “Do you?” Awwwe precious loves. Fearne and Dorian is an underrated friendship
- “Bertrand can buy his own sandwich” ASHNTON NOOO LMAO
- Oh noooo, the coin was from FCG’s old friend Dancer! I can’t tell how upset they are about it being lost, I hope they aren’t too sad... poor Orym seems to feel so guilty though! It’s okay Orym! :((
- Liam rolling a 1 and then using Halfling Luck to get a 20 SDAFGHJKSL ICONS ONLY
- Dorian (accidentally?) hitting on this person in the bar and the twins waggling their eyebrows is so funny dhjkd
- “Right, we hate the rich, don’t we? Yuck!” DORIAN LMAOOOOOO
- LIAM’S FACE WHEN JENAYA SAID “fill me up” I AM CRYING
- Side note: Robbie and Ashley both look so good tonight, I keep getting distracted
- I don’t know which is the better one liner, Dorian’s “I’m still working on your song” or Ashton’s “Thanks for the job”
- I’ve seen the theory that Oshad Breshio/”The Anger”/the bodyguard that Orym is looking for will be Travis’s new character... or maybe his new character will be a member of the family that was attacked? 
- Milo is my new emotional support NPC
- “It’s alright, I deserve that” “No you don’t, I was messing with you!” God I love FCG and Orym’s relationship so much already LOL
- FIRST ESSEK MENTION OF THE CAMPAIGN YES IT WAS OOC BUT I’M COUNTING IT ESSEK MY BELOVED  😭 😭
- THE SHADOW BAKER?? I love this guy sfghjklkdk
- I made the mistake of trying to brush my teeth while listening to this exchange and the Shadow Baker going off about pies made me nearly spit out my toothpaste because I was cackling too hard sfghjksl
- It was the pies mention that made the Shadow Baker send them towards trouble, let’s be real here
- Awww, I wanna keep going! This was a fun ep and I can’t wait for next week! :)
