#beau is my nervous boy who is allergic to leaving my side so he’s like my +1 for daily existence and makes sure I’m never alone

The way my hand is perfectly made to hold her evil little head… I was born to love you the way you were born to love me…

#she is my darling baby girl and I love her so #I have no favorites amongst my kids they all fulfill their own separate niches #blue is my cat who is like a dog Eva is my cat who is a cat barnaby is my dog who is a dog and beau is my dog who is just a lil guy #blue is my sweet handsome cuddle bug who will purr just from looking at me and lets me know I am loved #barnaby is my devil child who sings and grumbles and slaps me to get me out of bed and play to keep me active and engaging with fun #beau is my nervous boy who is allergic to leaving my side so he’s like my +1 for daily existence and makes sure I’m never alone #and Eva is my little princess who pretends like she doesn’t care but actually cares soooooo much who asks me to seek her attention… #she does get priority attention since she asks for it the least so when she does yell at me for pets it is my duty as dad to oblige… #gpoy

alright folks, medium paced and moderately tarnished liveblog time, TLOVM S1, ep 7!

oh percy was that kind of student huh. of course he was. i want to ruffle his lil hair.

wait fuck i should be paying attention, i’ve been vaguely wondering what residuum was ever since beau used it to drug a giant baby (that’s a fun C2 reference for anyone not in the know ;) ;) we were also all very shocked ;) )

yo prof i feel like they should at least have some PPE if you’re gonna be exploding rocks in their hands

fucking hell they’re both so baby. so smol. 

Love that this conversation is (very well done) but also essentially: “so percy.... what the fuck is up with you... and also... what IS that....” *points at gun* Percy: *Source: it came to me in a dream.png*.

me: aw keyleth is doing disney princess things. 5 minutes later: oh nope, thats fire. ... guess that could also be disney princess things.

did vax.. just.. pour ale on a fire to put it out? Does that work? Isn’t that- *torn between google and science experiments*

*whistles through teeth* Veeex........ *sees Vax take Keyleth’s side and Vex’s expression* oH p. oh boy.

Scanlan why would you make a joke about too-close-siblings with the peak of codependent sibling relationships in stabbing range.

knowing what I know about campaign 1 has me... so nervous about this conversation... like i know how this episode is gonna go, but by god the character implications. stop insulting scanlan like that cmon :(

what does it say about me that I heard Sam’s voice say “master” and immediately expected “debater” right after.

I find it so funny that of everyone besides Percy/Vax, Vex seems to be closest to Scanlan so far. Like its good, I like their relationship a lot so far, but also like, damn Vex, you’re that allergic to expressing emotions/affections like a regular person huh. 

this is a cute ditty. im liking scanlan, honestly.

HEY THEY’RE PLAYING THE THING IN THE THING ABOUT THE THING HEY LOOK HEY 

"who made this decison" "... you." "no one ever listen to me again." me the fuck too. i feel it.

aw vex, bonding the best way she knows how: talking about sibling relationships. ... and... scanlan.

Scanlan don’t drop your belongings, don’t you want them back? You don’t want to leave your anal beads do you???

(a moment of silence to reflect on how i got to a point where i’m typing that out)

S C AN BOOOOO

(side note: im having a LOT of fun trying to pick out what the DnD equivalents to things would be)

Groggo.... ragin... nice. VM teamwork. nice. :)

aw man :( not nice :( awww man :(

oh fuck, they end it there?

overall:

- Genuinely enjoyed Scanlan here. Juuuust the right mix of unsure and VERY sure and bravado and panic. Excellent. Also his entire rampage through the house was beautifully paced. excellent.

- hmmmmm. might just be sleep deprivation but some of the dialogue... wasn’t quite landing for me, beyond Scanlan’s bits. Can’t quite put a finger on it- not bad, but.... something. VM felt a little more.... tropey? And I can’t pinpoint why.

- Also I’ll admit it here: knowing about Perc’ahlia makes me maaarginally less invested in their conversations? Similarly with Vaxleth, to an extent. This has less to do with the specific ships and more just.... me, and romantic pairings in shows. I like these ships! And characters! They’re fun, and good, but I might be a lil more *grabby hands* at other dynamics.

- Seeing DnD turn mechanics into animated action sequences is genuinely so neat. I kept thinking about what would be an action, what wouldn’t. And also being mildly concerned they didn’t seem to have a long rest? Did everyone get their spells back? If they rested why didn’t Archie wipe the blood off his mouth? Archie just wipe the blood of your mouth ple ase.

- as always, living for characters just Doing Shit in the background of shots. Its my favorite.

- SCANBOOOOOOOOOO

#im very sleep deprived this one might not be great #critical role #cr spoilers #tlovm #the legend of vox machina #tlovm spoilers #lvm spoilers #full episode liveblog #TO CLARIFY MY BULLET ABOUT SHIPS before anyone gets too heated: i like em! but the way relationships tend to be portrayed in shows #Dont usually draw me in as effectively as the non romantic relationships and im getting the feeling that MIGHT hold true here too. #i think its mostly a medium translation thing- its hard to do due diligence/more nuanced relationship building + balance it with other rels #in a show vs a 4 hr episode #anyway ill get off my soapbox and maybe delete these tags once ive had more sleep #but WOOOOOO SCANLANNNNNNN #cr liveblogging
