#cr happy fun ball

[its-mekjt]

my friend finished watching exu calamity the other day and just messaged me saying 'what if the happy fun ball is like a fucked up version patia's orb lmao'.

she was joking, but my dumbass just went 'man why didn't I think of that?'

personally i think part of the reason yussa says caleb widogast the way he does, with such a weary but (not so) secretly amused voice, is because caleb sends to him all the time and insists on using up words to say “this is caleb widogast” every single time, as if yussa wouldn’t know who it was by the millionth call of the night.

once the nein spread out to do their separate things, caleb definitely started using sending constantly. he does it to everyone, but essek and yussa are the ones who (lovingly) make fun of him for it the most because 1) they can make sense of his wizard babble so he has even more to say to them and 2) they’ve experienced the chaos of jester’s sendings firsthand so they can fully appreciate the comedy of the fact that caleb is even more likely than her to call them at some ungodly hour of the night and talk their ears off about something.

caleb may be much more serious than her on the outside but if there’s one thing he learned from her, it’s that sending is a fantastic spell to abuse when you really really want to annoy your favorite wizards at 2am. what he did not learn from her, unsurprisingly, is that you really don’t need to waste words saying who you are every time you decide to annoy them.

when the three of them are together, essek and yussa absolutely do not let him live it down and have an unspoken agreement to exclusively call him by his full name just to make fun of him, which is fair enough considering caleb will absolutely never stop doing it.

#on a related note i 100% think yussas tower is one of esseks hideouts while hes on the run #maybe he even hides out in the happy fun ball once yussa knows it well enough to bring him to a safe room in it #cr meta #hubris wizards #wizardposting #c2 #m9 reunited #caleb widogast #essek thelyss #yussa errenis #jester lavorre #critical role meta

m9 convincing yussa to talk to them under the pretense of having emergency important information about the war when really all they wanted was to see the inside of his weird shape-shifting tower and now finding themselves expected to connect every single magical item they own to the threat of war

hey guys, remember when the Mighty Nein went inside an astral dreadnought's mouth for no real good reason other than pure curiosity ?

yeah, good times

#was rethinking about that moment today... I might have rewatched this part of the episode too... #what's so funny is that TRAVIS 'Mr Red Button Pusher' himself is NOT in favor of going inside but Laura his own wife is 100% down with it #and then Marisha flips and agrees and then everyone go even Nott who is crying but she goes #and then they remark that there is no other door inside this plane !! #really what a great episode ending. I hope someday we revisit the Happy Fun Ball #critical role #cr campaign 2 #CR2E82

[sparring-spirals]

These world-saviours get a very audible "oh god not these fuckers again" every time they call on one of their powerful allies and I wouldn't want it any other way <3

Assuming that the M9 series will also get 12 episodes per season, I personally think s1 should end on Molly’s death.

An episode or two to cover the group meeting and the whole thing with the carnival, another episode or two to go through Alfield, Bryce, and Shakaste. A couple episodes for the Zadash rebellion and the recovery of the Beacon, about 3-4 episodes to do the whole journey from Zadash to Labenda to Hupperdook, and then end the season with half the group getting kidnapped and Molly dying in the attempt to save them. Feels perfect to me tbh

the fucking IMPLICATIONS I am OVERLOADING

#critical role #cr spoilers #somebody check on the Happy Fun Ball #and on Halas #and the ziggurats #and the vestiges

[stardustedknuckles]

I mentioned that Caleb destroying the T-dock might have prevented Ludinus time travel fuckery we'll never hear about, but what if it had been used already by the past Aeorians who built it all - not to go backwards, but forwards. What if it was even a means of escape. If you knew the gods wouldn't stand for what you were doing and you knew you couldn't kill them yet, where would you plan to hide to continue the work? Where could you?

#The reverse of the happy fun ball #cr spoilers #I don't know that I put a lot of weight behind this thought but it is interesting #Critical role

[ihassheepquake]

Now that we've seen EXU Calamity, I'm thinking about when the Nein first met Halas. The way he talks, specifically the things he says, remind me a lot of how Laerryn and the other Ring of Brass people were talking. The way he talks about "self-imposed deities" and wanting to move beyond the limits of mortality. It feels very reminiscent of Laerryn creating the Astral Leywright to kinda put herself on the level of the Gods.

I can't stop wondering if the Nein had actually let Halas out of the gem if he could've caused a new Calamity. We know from the Campaign 2 wrap-up that Halas would've been a Campagin 3 problem. Imagine what that could've been like.

#im sure someone has to have pointed this out already #but im rewatching the episodes were they go get yussa from the happy fun ball #and halas' speeches are pretty crazy #critical role #exandria unlimited calamity #the mighty nein #the ring of brass #cr halas #laerryn coramar seelie

Run BTS Mini field day - Part 2

Cr./to the creators of media used in this post.

Have a feeling this is going to be a long one too, perhaps a two parter.

What can I say?

The very last Run BTS episode for the foreseeable future. 😭 😭 

And what a doozy it was.

If part 1 had us rofl, this one had us rolling in soap on the floor laughing. It was hysterical.

In a nut shell, we had JM farting (not really but yeah), Jin never having babies (his poor cahoonas),  and lots of slapstick everyone falling all over the place on a soapy surface.

Did I hear someone say slapping?

We had some of that too. Butt slapping, that is. Not to mention some soap wrestling and a happy happy hug.

So, where to begin?

Perhaps at the beginning? Yep, good advice. I guess I'll start at the beginning, begin at the start.

The first task was balancing the balls, you know, so they don't fall, while walking up the stairs, and this being timed. The one to reach the top, lift his arms and have as many balls still being balanced in the least time was the victor.

Should I give you a spoiler here? Nah, you go watch. Not gonna tell you who won this round. Will give you a hint though, can't help myself... on the one hand it's a little surprising, on the other hand, given last episode, not so much, lol.

Anyways, we had plenty of laughs in this round. RM was super funny. We had the guys teasing Suga again with the "he's confident cause he's done some climbing...Scooba diving....parkour...."

But JM folks, JM took the cake. Well, of course with help from his dear friend, you know, the one that spills the tea all of the damn time...

The build up we got for JM, all for it to fall into pieces in seconds. 🤣🤣

And all because of one little innocent comment...

Yeah, I kind of don't want to say this, but heck, I can't help myself, it's a must... from there things turn to shit. 🤣 🤣

Suga: "TMI", RM: "don't talk about farting",

And JK:

And if by any chance you think that would be the end of the farting talk, then nah-ah. The one that said not to talk about farting had this to say:

And again:

Like I said, JM took the cake...

Yes, that's JK you see there, on his knees laughing.

But then it's Jhope's turn, and JM is dreaming of revenge. Hobi knows it's coming, lol.

Who you looking at JK?

Again with the farting...

Hobi makes it to the top, saying he's doing it for JM, all for:

RM tries again. Nope. Definitley not the challenge for him.

Last game for the mini filed day was slippery soccer. And you thought that the first game was funny, well, this one will have you on the floor.

They had to split into 2 teams of 3 and 4.

And again...now you see him here:

And next, after they are told they need to split into 2 teams, he's here:

I wonder what team JK thought he'd be in...

Sorry JK, not this time.

And it was all your boyfie's idea.

The shock. The betrayal.

JM was after the amusement factor. I guess after losing every single game so far he thought the heck with it all, let's make this funny.

So here's where the hectic comes in. It was crazy. It was fun. It was super funny. And we got lot's of Jikookery, which I will bring to you in... part 2 of this post of course.

To be continued...

Standing at the top of the hill that oversaw the kingdom of The Dreaming, your fingers fisted the skirts of the dress you wore. There was a slight breeze, blowing your half-plaited hair in the wind and ruffling the ribbons you had tied in your hair. It was a beautiful day in the kingdom and you were looking forward to playing with Abel and Gregory. With a big smile on your face, you started running down the grassy hill, heading straight for Gregory who was playing with his favorite ball in front of the two brother’s old stone house. At your incoming, Gregory dropped the ball in his mouth and started loping at you in return, equal happiness on his face. You met halfway and you launched yourself at his neck, wrapping your arms around it and letting him lift your feet from the grass.  

Infectious giggles poured from your mouth, combining with Gregory’s excited growls and yips while he happily trotted around with you hanging from his neck. You were probably a good two feet off the ground hanging there and you loved it. His wings started beating and he lifted you both up off the ground. Your laughter increased shortly before there was yelling and hands were grappling at your legs. Both you and Gregory let out mournful groans as you were tugged back down to the ground by a panicked Abel and a stern Cain. 

“Good heavens, Y/N! We’ve told you not to do that with Gregory! You could have gotten hurt!” Abel scolded you as both you and Gregory gave the brothers sheepish looks. Caught red-handed as usual. The brothers always ruined your fun. You crossed your arms across your chest and pursed your lips, ignoring Abel’s stern lecture and choosing to stare at the nearby rock wall. You rocked back on your heels. Abel sighed. “Y/N, are you even listening to me!?” 

“What? Of course, of course,” you mumbled, your eyes darting around and not meeting his gaze. 

“Y/N,” Abel chided. 

“You’re being a worry wort, Abel, she’s fine, Gregory would never let anything happen to her,” Cain spoke, placing a hand on your back and gently pushing you towards the house. You flashed a triumphant smile over your shoulder at a glowering Abel who then stuck his tongue at you. You giggled and turned back around, happily trotting into the house for tea. Of course, you would be having tea on the back patio, but one of your many loved activities with Abel was baking fresh biscuits to eat with your tea. So while you and Abel got to work making shortbread biscuits, Cain went out to work in the vegetable garden. 

“Alrighty then,” Abel said as he bustled around the kitchen, an apron already neatly tied around his neck and waist. “I’ve got the tea leaves all ready to add to the mix, all we have to do is add it when we’re done with the recipe.” 

Hopping up onto the stool in front of the sink, you quickly washed your hands and dried them before moving the stool to where Abel had the flour, butter, and sugar set up and ready for mixing. 

“Wait!” Abel exclaimed, all but running over to you with a matching apron in hand. “We couldn’t possibly ruin that wonderful dress of yours!”

“Well I could always just make a new one, you know,” You reminded him in confusion as he carefully put the apron on your body and made sure that it covered as much of your nice dream-created dress as he could. Abel gave you a look. 

“You most certainly will not ruin a perfectly made dress, young lady,” Abel scolded you, rising to his full height once more. “You look lovely and I want to keep it that way.” 

You made another face at him before stepping back up onto your stool and reaching for the wooden spoon. While you mixed up the basic recipe for the shortbread biscuits, Abel hummed, preparing the Earl Grey tea leaves you were going to add to the shortbread dough to compliment the tea you would be drinking. It didn’t take you long to mix the dough and while you were rolling it out, Cain lumbered into the kitchen. You spared him a glance and sighed.

“You’re covered in dirt again!” You complained, shooting him a dirty look. Cain huffed at you and clapped his hands together, shaking off clumps of dirt. 

“I was digging a hole, what do you expect.” He huffed once more, moving to the sink to fully wash his hands. 

“You dig a hole every day, would have thought you’d learn to be neater about it by now,” Abel muttered to himself as he walked up to you with a biscuit cutter in hand. 

“Oh don’t start with me you half-witted fool.” 

“Don’t start with the name calling, Cain, this is tea time, not mean time.” You stated tersely, scolding the older man, much to Abel’s glee. You received a look from Cain as Abel put the put biscuits on the baking tray and loaded them into the oven. Hopping down from the stool, you moved back to the sink to get the flour and dough that clung between and on your fingers, off. It wouldn’t take long for the biscuits to cook so you looked at the tea set. “Cain, can you put the water on to boil?” 

He grumbled a few moments but did as you asked. You patted your clean hands against your apron and looked up at Abel. 

“I’m going to the garden to get fresh flowers, keep an eye on those biscuits, okay?” Abel smiled at you. 

“Of course, wouldn’t want to ruin tea time with burned biscuits now would I?” Pleased that biscuits would be watched, you grabbed clipping scissors and a basket before heading out of the stone house to the garden. Abel and Cain maintained both a vegetable and flower garden, both of which held a vast variety of plants. You loved walking through the flower garden because the species of plants weren’t like any you usually saw at home. You happily clipped your favorite ones, mostly going for your favorite colors. When you had a nice handful of flowers, you headed for the table on the patio. Cain and Abel kept a vase full of flowers on it at all times and it was time to change out the flowers.

While you were tucking the flowers into the vase, Cain exited the house carrying the tea tray. Your tea time routine was well established at this point in time, allowing your mind a special place to dream and create as you wished. The possibilities were endless here and imagination ran rampant, only restricted by one's mind. But not everything here was perfect and happy, beyond the stone house was a crumbling kingdom. Cain and Abel did their best to steer you away from the ruins and the darker parts of this world, but you were a child determined to find out what they didn’t want you to see. Eventually, that is. 

“Biscuits are done!” Abel’s voice rang cheerfully from the kitchen. Your hands withdrew from the flowers and Cain huffed, rubbing his hand on his trousers. Abel emerged from the house carrying a plate of fresh biscuits while you sat down in your chair and reached for the teapot. You fixed your tea the way you liked it and looked at the freshly baked biscuits. Normally you’d let them cool down before eating them, but you liked fresh-from-the-oven biscuits. They had a more homely taste to them. 

“So, what have you been up to lately?” You questioned, looking between Cain and Abel while holding your teacup, blowing on it. 

“Gardening among other things,” Cain told you, gesturing to the vegetable garden. “It’s time to pick the beans, been quite busy with that. The tulips have also overgrown their patch again.”

“Well I’ve been working on my novel, it’s coming along,��� Abel said cheerfully. “My first rough draft should be ready soon.”

“Really?” You asked in excitement, leaning toward Abel. “Do I get to read it?”

“Well, of course, you’re my editor aren’t you? Granted you are only nine… but that’s more help than I get from him.” Abel gave his brother a look while you giggled. Your editing abilities were terrible and you doubted you were really helping him, but you did like to talk to Abel about what you liked about his stories and offered suggestions to expand parts of his books. The finished product was so good you vibrated in excitement at having a hand in it. Your conversation soon dove into the latest scene he had written and while you listened, you continually stuffed biscuits into your mouth in between sips of tea. 

At some point, Gregory had lumbered past you, his ball in mouth, as he trotted to his gargoyle house and tucked himself in to chew on his toy. In all honesty, the adult gargoyle acted more like a child sometimes. Probably the reason why you and he got in trouble so much. You couldn’t count the number of times he had tried to fly with you on his back, only to have Cain and Abel stop you both. You were bad influences on each other. 

“So how goes school, Y/N? You said that you were going to attend a new one at the start of the term but had to do some tests first.” Swallowing a sip of tea, you nodded. 

“Oh, yes, mama is moving me to a private school next term, but there’s an entrance exam I have to pass first. I’ve been studying a lot for it… it’s taken a lot of my free time.” You frowned, lowering your tea cup and picking at a biscuit. “I don’t know why it matters what school I go to. I thought school was school?”

“It is,” Abel responded, leaning back in his seat. “But maybe this school is a special school? You’re a smart and bright child, Y/N. Perhaps this school will give you more opportunities?”

“Like what? I have my piano lessons, my dancing lessons, tutoring sessions… I don’t think I’ll have time to fit anything else into my sche—“ Warm liquid splattered your face and dress, and you jerked back in your seat, cutting your words off. You counted to ten before opening your eyes and looking at Abel. He had a butter knife sticking out of his neck and blood was seeping from the wound. You rounded on Cain and had you been standing up, you would have stomped your foot in anger. “You promised not to murder him over tea, Cain! You promised!”

Cain at least looked a little guilty and sighed. You knew he sometimes couldn’t help it with his curse to repeat his story every day… but really, while you were having tea!?  You set your teacup down on its saucer and pushed back from the table. 

“I’ll clean this up,” Cain muttered while you nicked a nappy from the table and headed for Gregory’s house. As you walked, you rubbed the nappy against your neck and chin. Wiping at your skin, you came to a stop next to a nice large oak tree and looked down at your dress. Splattered as well… so much for keeping it clean. Airing out a huff of your own, you looked up to see if Gregory was still where you had last seen him. Something caught your attention, and it wasn’t Gregory. 

The dark figure you periodically saw in your dreams, always lurking in the peripheral, was back, observing you from the far tree line. He’d been invading your dreams for as long as you could remember and every time you tried to go and talk to him he’d disappear. It was almost like he didn’t want you to notice him, or at the very least, didn’t want to interact. It was strange because he looked so lonely and sad, especially when you were with Cain and Abel. You once tried talking to the brothers about him, but they had no idea what you were talking about and couldn’t see him. So you stopped mentioning him ages ago. 

“I would have thought you would have something better to do than watch me drink tea,” You spoke in puzzlement before setting your gaze on Gregory and heading over to him. Reaching him, you patted his head as he lifted it and gave you a chirp of happiness. “Hi, Gregory! Tea time is over now so we can play.” 

Gregory tilted his head and sniffed your dress. You looked down at the ruined fabric. 

“Oh, yes, nothing but the usual.” You told him with a reassuring rub between his ears. “I’ve already scolded Cain, so don’t worry. He’s cleaning up tea now so we have time to play before I have to go home.” 

Rolling over in bed, you cracked your eyes open and stared at the far wall. That was an odd dream, or perhaps it was a memory? The familiarity you held for those in it was startling and you were sure you knew them, the man in black excluded. It was like he was haunting you. Just how long have you been plagued by him? He reminded you of the man from your vision at the club. You moved to your back and stared groggily at the ceiling. It had been a week since you arrived at Wych Cross, a week since you had started remembering more and more of what your mind had repressed, and a week since that feeling of never being alone had begun to plague you once more. 

Perhaps this house was cursed… or haunted. Either way, you always felt like you were being watched, even when you were alone… which was ridiculous. You refused to be intimidated in your own home. 

Pulling yourself from bed, you got ready for the day. The weather called for a rainy day so you planned on exploring the library. A rainy day was no match for a good book and a cup of tea. Changing into a sweater and a pair of jeans, you moved your way through the manor. The stories in the family were that your great-grandfather Roderick Burgess liked to collect rare books and you were keen on finding out what books he had gotten his hands on. You gave your morning greetings to the scant service staff and kissed Alex and Paul good morning before retrieving a cup of tea and heading for the grand library. 

Humming to yourself, you scanned the rows and rows of old books, tilting your head to read their spines. Occasionally you let your fingers brush over them and noted that while the library was extensive and well-maintained, a certain section of books was entirely neglected. The books looked like they hadn’t been touched in decades. Your confusion turned to intrigue and walking up to the untouched books, you selected one at random. It was old and looked to be like it was hand bound and sewn. 

“Unique indeed.” You murmured, rotating it and reading the cover.

Crit Role Miniature Rollout: C3E56 By Goat or by Boat

With Andrew Harshman

An analysis of the minis used on CR.

I guess when you have no magic teleportation options, ya gotta resort to plebian forms of transport like river raftin'. But at least the party looks real cool while doing it.

♫Rollin', rollin', rollin' 20s on a river, it's time for Crit Role Miniature Rollout Campaign 3 Episode 56!

Mini Map Overview

This map is like 99% Dwarven Forge. Very cohesive, very sleek, very Dwarven. Looks fantastic. Relatively recently, Dwarven Forge put out out some radical water rapids and waterfall pieces.

Would have been cool to see some of these in this episode. But a full blown waterfall of course is a very different vibe, would have fundamentally changed the encounter too much.

Well if it ain't the Waterdeep Dungeon of the Mad Mage Froghemoth. It's good to have him back. This mini was famously featured in the Happy Fun Ball. Do you think these two froghemoths are at all related? Either literally or otherwise? Maybe they are related. They are at the very least part of the same birdwatching club.

This model makes quite the statement when appearing on the tabletop. Very good table presence. It's got scale, it's got a toothy maw, it's got appendages for days! It's a surefire way to surprise and scare ya players.

And on the other side of the miniature size spectrum, we got these teeny tiny sprites. They ain't much bigger than the average retro game sprite, these minis are small. But not so small that you can't make out the features. I am quite fond of these sprite minis.

See ya next sesh!
