the most dimension 20-ass moments in critical role so far

most of exu because aimee and robbie have huge d20 player energy, but these moments in particular:

fearne's shitty accent when she was faking being a ship's cook "NANCY! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" "mother." "did you touch the circlet?" "yeah! that's how you hold stuff!" "if you were any gemstone, what would you be?" "i'd be a diamond cause they're hard as i am- WAIT NO NO NO NO" orym eating his own weight in pies dariax making it sound like one of opal's bullies sharted her pants with thaumaturgy

the fearne, orym and dorian intro where dorian goes "fearne, is this ship going to stop?" and she replies "i dunno, i think we're gonna crash :D"

"I NEED MORE CHILDREN!"

everyone miming eating breakfast sandwiches when they can't find bertrand

orym nearly getting bh killed because he said cake sucks to eshteross' face

imogen asking pretty out on a 3 (4) person date to help her friends not get caught, the resulting date and rejection, and all the times it gets brought up again

"maude."

"i was trying to keep a low profile!" "YOU'RE DRESSED AS THE NIGHTMARE KING!"

"HE PROPOSED!"

"what's wrong, daniel?"

everyone piling into an elevator at the same time and liam miming getting his face smashed into the wall

the entire twilight museum bit, but mostly just orym getting blocked from helping the gang three times in a row

"want some candy? wa-wa-want some candy?"

fearne spending her turn keeping watch by breathing a smiley face into ashton's head and then going back to sleep because she forgot they were taking turns

xandis

end episode "oh! right. hondir." start episode back up "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FORGOT ME THIS IS SUCH STUPID BULLSHIT!"

the karen culling

the entire first half of ep 33. esp fcg driving the crawler and ashton screaming "YOU ARE TOO OLD TO DRIVE"

"WE DON'T LEAVE ANYONE BEHIND" followed by everyone but ashton falling off the airship

"uh. guys. bones. fast. bones. lots of bones coming this way."

after a solid month of agonizing over laudna being possibly permadead she's brought back with a slap

"oops. i did it again"

fake orgy leading into horse fearne

ashton's offscreen sidequest and him using a 6th(?) level spell slot just to say "okay"

fearne's horrifying nana revealing she's got a juice bar

the goat float

"ALRIGHT, GUYS! WE'RE EATING JERRY!"

"he's OUR problematic beast!"

orym's mom showing everyone his little baby boots

a drag queen calling ashton hot after he barges in and throws trash on the floor for them to make an outfit out of

everyone interrogating an evil sword that clearly only lies and getting more and more pissed off at it as it does

orym talking to his dead family whilst laudna and chet fly overhead shooting bees at each other

feeding shithead to fcg

fearne nearly dying after spooning a pirate, getting him together with a girl that's crushing on him, and them both being so happy that they throw bh a party

"THERE WAS. NO. LIMBO." and orym quietly takes away the limbo vine

the literal shitstorm given to the party by Mi

hotboxing a tree

"TAKE YOUR NINTH LEVEL SPELL AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS" was ic and i stand by it

wok sledding

imogen intimidating a reilora and then BOOKING IT behind a rock to gasp for air

finally watched the full first episode of candela obscura chapter 2, and i have to say i'm digging the vibes of this one.

this one feels a lot like exu: calamity to me, where chapter 1 was more straight up exu. ch1 was more introductory--to the system, to the city of newfaire, to the horrors that the circles of candela obscura will face. ch2 on the other hand is straight into the action, with an established group of people who have more power and agency with regard to what they can do against the bleed of the flare. both are good. both have a solid place in the universe.

there's just something about the established group dynamic that's just so good. ring of brass 🤝circle of needle and thread in terms of deep relationships and established personal and group history.

also big leverage energy from this group. sean & eliot obviously, but i'd pick auntie bee as nate, nathaniel as sophie, dr. jean/jinnah as hardison, and marion as parker. the found family energy, the exploration of past trauma, and sometimes just the craziest shit you've ever seen a group pull off. i know i did a leverage au of bell's hells already but i really might have to with this group.

direct comparison--go:

sean & eliot: veterans, running from the monster you see in the mirror, beating up and getting beat up for the people you're defending, the random weapons use, baseball and sports, working class camaraderie

beatrix & nate: lost a partner/children/family in the past, left previous life behind, kind of unassuming on the outside but something's going on deep down, being feisty on cons, older and more tired than the rest of the group

nathaniel & sophie: high CHA, good at the schmoozing needed to get into places, complex past with intraparty connections, upper class background, doing the talking and smoothing over

jinnah & hardison: very skilled at what they do, science-minded, family focused (usually on a parental figure), a little softer and more inclined to hope than the majority of the group, not liking the big falls that someone in the party subjects them to.

marion & parker: been in the business for awhile, consistently clutch with their particular skillset. something's just a little off about them and how they operate. there's nothing wrong with me.

also the questioning of the system and how candela obscura itself operates opens a whole new avenue to explore for this circle. i personally can't wait for the next installment.

Two tag games

tagged by @cadmusfly!

Favorite Colour: reddish pink, or sunshine yellow, or lilac. i like soft colours, but not subtle ones

Currently Reading: Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee, still. i wish i could say that i'd made more progress on it since i last mentioned it!

Last Series: if non-fiction counts, i'm currently working my way backwards through series of The Great Pottery Throw Down for the millionth time, now The Great British Sewing Bee is over for the year

fiction-wise... i don't often watch series, they take a lot of energy. does ExU: Calamity count? because otherwise it's skim-watching Our Flag Means Death, or watching the first five episodes of the new season of Riverdale before having to stop due to being so delighted by the metafictional elements of episode 100

Last Movie: last rewatches: The Old Guard, Pride, Skyfall (three of my comfy classics tbh). last movie i watched fresh: The Crow, which i enjoyed more than i expected despite how aggressively 90s it was

Currently Working On: a scattering of fics, as usual, most notably in The Untamed fandom, although there's some TMA fics i refuse to abandon no matter how much grief they give me

also, some bookbinding projects i've currently left by the wayside and need to get back to. i've got... five in progress, i want to say? not including stuff in the typesetting process too

---

Fight for Me, by AlicebanD

Metaphor, by The Crane Wives
