Finished piece of Orym's latest Sending to Dorian.

"Can you get there? I'm… struggling. Sorry. Can you get here? … Fuck, I miss you..."

I can’t wait for those two to finally meet up again. And if they do indeed get together, what will an Orym that is not pining even look like? 😁 I want to see these two happy so much. Also because I want to see how Liam plays a happy character.

[ID: A digital illustration of Orym and Dorian Storm from Critical Role. Dorian has his arms around Orym's waist and Orym is gently holding Dorian's face. Dorian is smiling with his eyes closed as Orym looks up at him affectionately. End description.]

So excited for these two to be together again

dorian saying "opal's getting a little dark" over the sending stone all those eps ago. "A LITTLE," DORIAN? "A LITTLE"?!?!?!?! SHE'S POSSESSED AND UNHINGING HER JAW TO SCREAM AT YOUR HIMBO FRIEND. SHE'S TERRIFYING MATTHEW MERCER!

Making this the thumbnail is so unhinged. Orym in a sense as the force that is going to bring these two groups of people together. Orym reaching out to Dorian with such fervor and pain, begging him, begging the universe to bring him back because he needs Dorian’s comfort so badly that narratively we have no choice but to turn toward the crown keepers and watch their journey (hopefully) back to him.

I’m unwell

orym's sending stone messages are always great but that, "if I don't get the chance again......... I've really missed you" is downright legendary, that long pause gave me shrimp emotions

#the way you can hear the other set of words he doesn't say #i saw it again yesterday on a supercut and i was like. liam. what an unhinged and beautiful thing to provide for us #orym #dorian storm #dorym #critical role

Even putting aside the Dorym of it all... I kinda feel like part of the reason Orym misses Dorian so much is that Dorian is kinda the next most normal person in the Crownkeepers and Bell’s Hells. Which is honestly a little wild to be saying about a runaway prince in disguise. But like...

The Crownkeepers have/had:

- A himbo dwarf Sorceror who has been singled out by a Lesser Idol in a fursuit.

- A bubbly girly-girl Warlock who is apparently her own patron (and the Spider Queen's here too, I guess)

- A Rabbit-folk Paladin who used to be a bartender in Fantasy Vegas and is now devoted to the goddess of death.

- A kleptomaniac Faun whose adoptive grandmother is an eldritch hag with the power to alter fate. Also, has a pet monkey that shits fire.

- Does Cyrus count? He’s an NPC. In any case, he’s basically the same as Dorian, but More Himbo and less useful, lol.

- A woman so intense she is literally always on fire.

Bell's Hells has/had:

- Fearne (I already explained her)

- A Werewolf who makes toys and hates Santa.

- A walking corpse who is haunted by the spirit of the necromancer who raised her from the dead. Also enjoys puppeting a dead rat.

- A purple-haired Psychic who gets her powers from an imprisoned eldritch moon monster.

- A Barbarian punk who is half Primordial Titan, half Beacon, all attitude. Also, they used to be an Aasimar before his cultist parents meddled with powers beyond mortal understanding.

- A chirpy, sentient Robot who is technically a therapist, but also really bad at it. Recently discovered religion and is real annoying about it.

- An 80 year-old man who is an erstwhile member of the legendary Vox Machina. Also, known liar and coward.

In contrast, you have Dorian (runaway prince) and Orym (just some guy).

I feel like they probably met each other for the first time and were both like, 'THANK THE GODS, SOMEONE WHO ISN'T TOTALLY BONKERS,' and just stuck to each other. Like two acquaintances at a party where they didn't know anyone else. 😂😂😂

OBSESSED with Marisha's and Liam's choices the moment the Bells have a minute to stop and actually realise what happened, get swarmed by the feeling of grief. Like yeah, what can make you see you don't have time for half-measures and dancing around someone more than death, losing a loved one, even more - them dying to save you. Hey? I love you. We should say it more, I think we don't say it enough. I love you. Hey. I've been so patient and so have you but what the fuck are we doing. I miss you. I'm struggling. Can you get here? I need you. Hey. Why are we losing time we have when all could end any moment, why are we not living, why am I not spending days I have left telling you how much I care, showing how much you mean to me, getting all the moments with you I can get? Hey, I love you, I miss you, I love you too, I heard you, I am coming back, hold on just a little longer. I love you i love you i love you i love you

Let's go there.

Liam has been very clear in verbal statements and looks as to who Orym checks out and finds physically attractive. In EXU prime (plus a call-back to Deni$e), that was Dariax. In C3, that has very repeatedly been Ashton (who has reciprocated in kind).

He's also been pretty clear (especially in C92) about who Orym wants as his emotional support, and despite Ashton's multiple offers, that's Dorian.

Which, if either, Orym is romantically interested in, I'm not sure. I'm not convinced Orym is ready to be romantically involved with anyone who isn't Will yet.

As for the two Genasi, I think Ashton is definitely interested in Orym. (It would not surprise me for Liam or Tal to let slip they've been FWB for awhile.) Dorian is certainly emotionally attached to Orym. I need to rewatch the second half of 92 when I'm more awake to decide more than that.

Sending Stone Messages

A list for me that I want to update as new ones come in! Which w/ Dorian back, hopefully not so much (But i think I found all of them so far)

Bonus Ep 6 - Orym gripping the sending stone while Dorian was away

Ep 16 Fearne - right after Dorian leaves 

Ep 22 Orym — “We’re leaving Jrusar, heading southeast. Following the Treshi thread further. You’ve been missed. Hope you’re well.

Dorian — “Hey, sorry. Was sleeping. Thanks. Miss you guys too. Shit got crazy here too. Floating bar, I’ll tell you later. 

Ep 31  Orym — “Hey friend. Missing you here. Could really use your special brand of optimism right now. Don’t know where you are. Hope you’re happy. Bye now.”

Dorian — “Hey! Floating bar got a little weird. Took awhile to land it. This side of the fam is keeping me busy. Miss you all too- Don’t die!”

Bonus Ep 33 - Sending stone falling from Orym's hand as he dies from Otohan

Ep 40  Orym — “Hey. Yios bound. Found them- their killers. Bigger than we thought. Read rough, Dorian. Eshteross is dead. Glad you’re not here, wish you were anyway.”

Ep 41  Dorian (via Robbie)— “Oh Orym~ My heart aches I cannot be there to help you. Find strength, stay steadfast. Sending you fairer winds. …. Is this thing on or-“

Ep 49 Orym — “Dorian. Update. People we’re chasing unleashing hell in a week. We’re headed there now. Odds not good. More tomorrow. Where are you?

Dorian — “Orym! With the rest of the Crown Keepers in Tal’Dorei. Opal’s getting a little dark. Little busy at the moment.. I don’t even know how to get to you.”

Ep 49 Orym — “Listen, what’s going on over here is really bad. Get the group, get underground. Stay there until you hear from me again… Miss you”

Dorian — “I'll see what I can do. There’s plenty of places underground, I’m sure. It's a little hairy on this end too. You take care of yourself. Be careful”

Ep 59  Orym — “Dorian?? Can you hear me? what’s the sky look like where you are? Tell me you’re okay-“

Ep. 63 Orym — “Dorian. still alive, by the skin of our teeth. want to talk more. you know where Dariax is?’

Bonus I miss you - Ep. 79  "I really miss Dorian and sometimes I think that's okay and sometimes it isn't."

Ep 86 Orym — “Dorian, we’re alive. Been to the moon, going back. Find the tempest. If I don’t get the chance again, I’ve really missed you.”

Ep 92 Orym — "We're home. Can you hear me? I'm northeast of Bassuras. Can you get there? I'm... struggling. Sorry. Can you get here? Fuck, I miss you."

Having a think about how if Dorian goes down in this fight just as that sending stone message comes through, it'll be just like when Orym was reaching for the stone as Otohan killed him in episode 33.

[fjorests-of-wildemount]

I have talked quite a bit about this in the past, but given where we are in the campaign now and what has just happened, I wanted to put down some thoughts in a maybe, hopefully coherent kind of way. Mostly the thoughts chase each other around in my head going “brrrrr” so here’s hoping they cooperate.

Since we have known him, Orym has been on a Mission. When he first linked up with the Crown Keepers he had been on the road, presumably on his own, for at least four years, possibly five. At some time during those years, Keyleth charged him with finding out information on the attack that killed Will and Derrig to make sense of what happened that day. Early on he’s quiet, thoughtful, reluctant to take the lead, and honorable to a fault. Even as he opens himself up to create connections with this motley crew, he still guards part of himself. In fact, in the time we see them together he never tells the Crown Keepers about his family. The only mention we get is when he is asked by the Wildmother if he will continue on and Orym says, “For him, I will.”

None of this is to say he doesn’t feel connected to his friends, who manage to take him on a journey away from his primary directive, and–given the fact that Orym was alone at the beginning of ExU–it’s safe to say these are the first people he’s connected with in a long time. It was while he was with them that he started practicing the Zeph’aeratam again. Being part of the group with Opal and Dariax and Fearne and Dorian and Fy’ra showed Orym that the world was bigger than his grief.

But still, he kept it to himself.

After the events of ExU Prime, Orym and his two best friends from the Crown Keepers, Dorian and Fearne, went back to Zephrah. A place that I would argue Orym probably had returned to seldom, if not never, since Will and Derrig’s deaths. It was sometime during this journey that Orym told them both about his family, likely the first people from outside of Zephrah to know their names and what they meant to him. These friends went with him to continue his Mission, to try to help him get closure. And when Dorian left, Orym kept hold of the means to keep in touch, because Orym had gotten closer to Fearne and Dorian than he had gotten to anyone since he lost his family.

I would love to know what, if any, kind of conversations Orym had with Dorian and Fearne about Will and Derrig, especially Will. Because as the weeks went on, Orym did forge bonds with Bell’s Hells, he did start to tell more people about the ones he’d lost, but always at a distance. He kept the memories of who Will and Derrig were to himself, even as he was honest about how much he missed them. Did Orym take the chance to tell Dorian and Fearne about what they were like when they were alive? Because it’s clear that Orym is bereft, and angry, and lonely, and goes to sleep every night with them in his thoughts. Is there anyone else alive who knows the secrets of what Will and Orym were like when they were together, just the two of them?

There is nothing secret about the pain and anger he feels, but what about the joy?

The Mission as it was originally put to Orym is over now. They know everything about how and why Zephrah was attacked. That doesn’t mean Orym is stopping, because Orym isn’t the kind of person who could stop when someone is in danger. But the single-minded drive toward Otohan, toward answers and justice or whatever Orym thinks Will and Derrig would have wanted from him in this, was the mortar Orym used to build up his walls. He’s standing on a precipice of a vast future and he’s alone because he has made himself alone. His grief has made him alone. And there are so many complicated reasons why Dorian is the one he is finally, actually reaching out to now that there is no more path to shuffle down. 

I’m not sure if Orym even knows who he is anymore without this grief, without this Mission. In his mid-thirties his whole adult life has been spent married to Will, or grieving Will, or searching for answers for Will’s death. In the middle of the world ending, how do you decide what comes next?

A million episodes ago Orym offered to be the one Imogen could lean on, and then, after she walked away, he reached out to Dorian on the Sending Stone. I think Dorian has been the one Orym thought that he could lean on for a long while now. And I think that is intrinsically tied to his Mission, this journey, and his grief.

[towards-toramunda]

Honestly I vibe heavy with Dorian potentially joining the rest of the campaign permanently because

1) my girlies need another healing class (and then sam’s backup character can be whatever he wants instead of finding a healer replacement)

2) I’m so hype for him to interact with all of the hells where they are now because my god its been 2 or 3 months in game since he’s seen them and they’re SO different now. I want to see my boy CONCERNED.

3) I just don’t really ship dorym atm cause the constant one sided pining doesn’t do anything for me and I didn’t see it in exu or before Dorian left early on in the campaign (and the second time I watched the top of the campaign I went in explicitly looking for crumbs and just… didn’t get the vibe?) so at least they might be able to give me something to be interested in with this ship if thats where they’re going and I can stop feeling crazy about why tf everyone ships them

4) ROBBIE DAYMOND BACK AT THE TABLE FULL TIME WOULD CURE ME OF MY AILMENTS LETS GOOOOO BUDDY BOYYYYYYY

5) no like seriously I’m so excited to get more fan art of Dorian being the cringe failure overeager anxious mess Dorian instead of just being orym’s absent yet perfect dream boy without a personality cause that isn’t who he is!!!!
