#beauyasha my beloved

[artemis-pendragon]

When Yasha said "I go where you go, baby" and when she said "you're so strong and you're so brave" and when she said "I've seen you. I've seen you a lot." and when she said "I never want to hold you back from anything; I just want to be here to support you in everything that you do" and when she said "I will have you and then some"... God.... Crying screaming throwing up rattling the bars of my cage etc etc etc

In the course of a couple of conversations I think I have hit on some of the fandom weirdness this campaign, and it's notable because I realized it when it was my answer to both a question about why the fandom response to "Party of NPCs" was pretty negative at the time but I don't think it would be now; and someone pointing out to me how there was a sudden massive spike of enthusiasm for Ashton and Fearne as a ship without a particularly large corresponding boost in any sort of fan works.

I suspect that many of the people who came to C3 as their first CR campaign came through the avenue of shipping; either because Shadowgast and Beauyasha both broke containment to some extent; because of TLOVM (which as a scripted TV show where they know the relationships and how they shake out, there can be foreshadowing), or because of the influxes of people shipping Imogen and Laudna circa May and September 2022. This is in contrast to Campaigns 1 and 2, where a lot of the fanbase came via D&D fandom, fantasy fandom, voice acting fandom, and more general word of mouth. This time, people showed up to ship; of that segment of the fandom, shipping is a major if not the primary way in which they interact with fiction.

Here's the truth: this is a terrible campaign for shipping, and indeed, one of the worst shows for shipping I've seen in a while. This, to be clear, is not a critique of quality. It's merely an observation that this is a terrible campaign for shipping specifically, but a great one for many of the myriad other reasons why one might watch long-form actual play. It's plot-heavy, with a pretty intricate network of laid groundwork over eight years of storytelling, two past campaigns, and two miniseries finally paying off. It's been heavy on showing the unexplored corners of the world in Marquet, rural Issylra and the Shattered Teeth. It's taken risks with the typical D&D campaign structure and with party composition and splits, to varying degrees of success. It's allowed a revisiting of beloved NPCs and locations from the past. It's the lore campaign! It's extremely not the shipping campaign.

I think most people have picked up on that by now, even if it's only subconsciously, and so those who watch with the express intent of shipping, are grasping at the most tenuous of straws because that's pretty much what they have. Two canon ships and one noncanon but hinted-towards ship are with guest characters who are not present and so are necessarily very quiet. Chetney and Fearne is a lot of fun but it does not fit the usual shipping-above-all preferences of monogamous love to marriage/partnership to babies, plus Chetney is weird and old. (This has always been an issue with this mentality, incidentally; for all I think the popularity of Shadowgast is why some of these people are here, the fact of the matter is that many of the people who like Shadowgast like a completely foreign to canon concept operating under that name that erases the frequent long-distant nature and the almost certain lack of children and the deliberate choice to end the relationship amicably due to different needs.) However you may feel about Imogen and Laudna it is incontrovertible that there's been little to no movement in what is now a calendar quarter. And so: two people doing something that is not explicitly romantic while two other characters say "emperor and empress" is a paltry, miniscule - and I hate to use the word but no other will do - crumb; but it is a crumb to a starving populace.

In case my feelings aren't abundantly clear...I say let them eat cake. I enjoy ships and shipping! I enjoy seeing characters recognize themselves through the other and develop over time as they fall in love with another character; I enjoy seeing a deep romance unfold slowly so that I can savor it. But this campaign just doesn't really have that, and that's never been the most significant reason I watch, let alone the main one. I'd rather have no romantic relationships in a work than rushed ones that strain credibility or lack chemistry, and those who do want romance can either find other shows, or focus on transformative work. For those who came to Campaign 3 on the basis of rumors of the great romances in Campaigns 1 or 2, those are still there for you! And while I think we're too far in for a campaign-length romance, there are plenty of ways for the existing ships to become something more interesting. But I think this explains a lot of the weirder patterns in the fandom conversation as of late.

BEAUYASHA ANIMATED MY BELOVED

#text

[redjennies]

for the AU meme, even though I'm not so good with the AU ideas: how about Vasha in an AU where Veth ran into Yasha instead of Caleb?

like I've been bouncing this around in my head for two days now trying not to just think of how upsetting that she was already screaming Yasha's name during the King's Cage and how heartbreaking that would be if that was also Her Person. also just like the second love of Veth's life being explicitly a woman is very relevant to my interests as someone who is constantly yelling about how the percentage of young moms who are bisexual/lesbians is way larger than people realize.

like I think Yasha and Veth would be considerably less codependent than Caleb and Veth were because I think Yasha would still need her space and wander off, but it would still be very intense because Yasha and Veth are still both just intense people when it comes to who they let into their lives. I also think Yasha would be far worse at running schemes, but it would have this vibe of like small cunning, mean gangster and their giant goofy bodyguard gangster who is sometimes like "oh right, [bad acting voice] we are totally lovers who are mad at each other! how dare you! *flips table*"

I would definitely keep that they met in jail. Nott for the same reasons as canon and Yasha for barbarian bar fight nonsense. I like the idea of despite them being far less codependent, Nott still immediately realizes something is wrong when Yasha is kidnapped with Fjord and Jester because I think she would be more perceptive to Yasha's tells to when she's about to wander off than Molly was. that's not an insult but Molly was pretty laissez-faire about Yasha's coming and going in a way that made sense for his personality where Nott would be like "no, this is different. something is wrong." ditto to her also being just as adamant as Jester is about Yasha being mind controlled. like her Yasha wouldn't turn on them. she knows her.

inevitably I feel like every version of Veth that follows a mostly canon plot would always end up with Yeza in the end because he's great and I think Veth ultimately wants both her family and her adventuring life. like I think Veth would self-sacrificingly shove Yasha into Beau's arms just as hard as she tried to marry Caleb off to basically anyone who showed interesr. there would be even more HEAVY DISCOURSE™ about my beloved beauyasha if that element stayed the same and I would probably be just as "Yasha and Veth have TWO hands" as I am about the brenattos/widobrave/shadowgast polycule that exists entirely in my head. does it say something about this fandom that my AU cannot help but hypothesize for potential discourse?

#i have more thoughts bouncing around that i haven't entirely conceptualized so if this gets another reblog a week later y'all been warned #asks #ask games

Eve’s Big List of Fanfic

Hello all! I decided that even if Twitter doesn’t die, I want to keep this as a writing blog, of sorts. So here’s a list of my Critical Role/Shadowgast fics, for your reference and reading pleasure.

CURRENT FIC:

“How To Rest”

COMPLETE!

Shadowgast

Rated T

17.7k words (6/6 chapters)

Six snapshots across six months in the lives of two wizards falling in love. Each chapter can be read on its own, but all contribute to the broader narrative.

Last updated: March 3, 2024

Chapter 6 (3.3k words): Caleb gets some good news, then some great news.

COMPLETED FICS:

“On the Nature of Love” series, or Eve’s acespec shadowgast cinematic universe:

“Miss You Dearly”

Shadowgast

Rated G

4.6k words (3/3 chapters)

My rom-com era 💕

At the close of Trent Ikithon’s trial, Essek is invited to a Mighty Nein reunion party on the Nein Heroez, and the wizards spend a fair bit of that time pining.

“All Things End, All Things Change”

Shadowgast

Rated T

2.8k words (2/2 chapters)

The wizards make a decision at the T-Dock, and Caleb gets a moment to grieve.

“On the Nature of Attraction”

Shadowgast

Rated T

7.5k words

My magnum opus. My beloved.

The wizards are ace (both of them!!!) and very in love. Boundaries are set and respected.

Fics, not otherwise specified:

“admonition, admission”

Essek Thelyss & Leylas Kryn, background Shadowgast

Rated G

1.6k words

An examination of the Bright Queen’s feelings towards and relationship to Essek, before and after his betrayal.

“oh, by the way”

Beau & Caleb, background Shadowgast

Rated G

932 words

Caleb drops the “Essek-and-I-are-dating” bomb on Beauregard, and his timing is, as always, impeccable.

“The Shadowhand Becomes a Baker”

Shadowgast

Rated G

2.1k words

Essek bakes pastries and Caleb is soft about it.

First critrole fic. Inspired by the theory that the Shadow Baker from Campaign 3 is Essek in disguise.

WORK IN PROGRESS FICS:

—A fic that is currently in the outlining phase, affectionately titled “kissy kissy uwu”, or the Shadowgast get-together fic. Takes place shortly after the wizards’ solo Aeor trip, featuring a BeauYasha wedding and “the joyful yet agonizing state of being in the same vicinity as your crush and knowing that there’s something there but being too scared to make any moves.”

I was originally planning on this being a fairly chunky one shot, but it has gotten much bigger during the planning stages, so it may end up being multi-chapter. We’ll see.

I am very excited to work on this one!

—A silly AU/crack treated seriously fic focused on the Thelyss brothers and their relationship. Maybe a hint of background Shadowgast if there is a place for it. Outlined fairly well, but on the back-burner while I work on “On the Nature of Love”.

IT'S ALMOST TIME!! BEAUYASHA MY BELOVED RETURNS!!!

#critical role #beauyasha #cr liveblog

[avalencias]

omg hello!!!!! Yes!! I would love to hear about this: 🎨💞🎶!! 🤩🤩🤩

Hiiiii quatre omgg!! It feels like it’s been forever 🥹

🎨 Tell me about an upcoming wip, please! Oh goodness…I have a million wips at all times…. Well ok, not completely, I have a bunch of sketches and then half-finished pieces that I’ll have to force myself back into (like that tharizdun-ioun/beauyasha piece I probably need to redo 😭)…but actually, I’ve been working on a knight au, also for beauyasha haha. I got a little too eager so it’s in a bizarre half secondary sketch/half lines/half rendering situation lmao. I really want to draw more rwby but my brain is saying now is not the time 😔

💞 Who is your comfort character? Not necessarily your favorite to draw, but one that always makes you feel a little better. Oooh this is an interesting one. I think…beau? I swear every answer isn’t going to be critical role related 💀 but I just really love her design (her haaaaair) and I got very very used to drawing her in the past couple years, so. I love drawing my dnd blorbos too but they’re a bit harder I guess

🎶 Do you listen to music/podcasts/audiobooks/podfics while you draw? What have you been listening to lately? I do! Not always but usually. Mostly I just listen to music but I’ll sometimes throw on CR if I have to catch up and lately I’ve been listening to the Jeanette mccurdy audiobook. Usually podcasts are relegated to my driving time (5-4 pod my beloved…) so it’s either music or the occasional show lol

Literally dreamed up the best Horizon: Forbidden West AU for Beauyasha.

Beau is a Carja scholar coming out at the behest of her patron/father to study the oral traditions of the Tenakth (even though she knows it's just to get her out of the way for her brother to inherit). She meets Yasha, a member of the Sky Clan. There is a whole bit my brain made up about braiding your beloved's clan colors in your hair.

Please tell me someone else has already written this so I don't have to do it myself...

Oh well!

[eldritchmochi]

A N T for that alphabet ask game

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

okay uuuuh i mean, obviously shadowgast i have only written like 300k of it in the past few years. im also quite the fan of ashrym/dashrym and callowmore (tho i like my callowmore on the platonic side personally). i will happily make the dirt wizards kiss ANYONE i do have a widomauk fic in the works and i have an idea for a caleb/yussa fic percolating and theres that one porny art by newt with c3 era caleb paired with ashton and orym that im just :lasereyes: yes i will one day write something for it i stg. also fun fact my First Ship for cr was beauyasha like, ep one. i got like 30 seconds into their first interaction and immediately texted cherry at like two am like PLEASE TELL ME THEYRE A SHIP and lo, they were cannon fucking incredible

outside of cr.... stucky, my beloved, especially with skinny steve because i love that sickly twink; big brother hobie creating Situations for gwen and miles (its hard being wingman to two people when you want them to kiss each other and also theyre idiots); kylux, obvs; rey/finn/poe/rose in basically any combination (i wish i didnt have One Hyperfixation Only type adhd because i would LOVE to write my rey/finn/rose idea where rey and rose are mechanics and finn is having car trouble and then they double team him in the office dont ask me why they have straps in the filing cabinet this is pwp); with hs at one point i would literally randomly generate pwp ideas. i didn't often finish them but it was a good exercise especially in characterization but i was mostly read davekat, daverose, any combo of erisolkat, and davejohn because i fukken pavlov'd myself into liking the ship lmao

shit this is gonna get long here is a read more

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

hhhh i am so sorry if this sounds mean but the bulk of why i dont read a ton of cr fic when i was constantly devouring kylux fic largely boils down to two things

1. the technical stuff is eeh and 2. there is just not a ton of nuance in characterization or plot

both results in me being perpetually frustrated whenever i try to read most of what i open. theres been some gems!! theres also been a lot of stuff with promise where i can tell in a couple years the writer will knock it out of the park!!! but theres also a god awful amount where i'm just like that is not how dicks work lmao

i am sure a lot of that is because the cr fandom skews a lot younger than kylux (where folks are like 20-30 on average instead of 35-50 kinda younger) plus cr has a LOT of esl speakers compared to kylux whereas a TON of kyluxers have degrees in literature or library science, so like, it makes sense that there's a difference, but it still drive me bonkers that i cant just open a fic and read it without closing it halfway through because its too one note :I

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

nope!! i am very ship and let ship in all regards. there are many things i enjoy (like short!essek or the idea that caleb would and probably has made out with all of his friends) that crop up repeatedly across my fic but i'm down for basically any good faith interpretation and i LOVE when someone writes a weird headcannon so well i have to steal it

there are many letters left of this ask meme if anyone else wants to send me a q!! pls enrich the mochi this is fun
