#except caduceus. because caduceus's arrogance was different and so understated you couldn't even tell he had it

the reason i always hate taliesin's characters is because he makes them arrogant in a way that just does NOT sit right with me. and that's his prerogative. but fucking hell.

#taliesin apologists dni #note: i like taliesin as a person! i just hate every character he's ever played! #except caduceus. because caduceus's arrogance was different and so understated you couldn't even tell he had it #until you got to know him properly and then it was like ohhhhhh ok yeah he's got it too lmao #its weird too because like. i dont dislike arrogant characters. some of my favourite characters are arrogant. #but part of the reason why i hate the way taliesin's characters are arrogant is like #1) he likes to make characters who are arrogant but also mechanically unable to back it up #case in point: molly and ashton any time they try to talk to anybody. #and taliesin enjoys that! which is great for him! but I hate it! which sucks for me! #2) I like arrogant characters who are either justifiably arrogant and/or project arrogance to conceal deepseated feelings of inadequacy #and selfloathing #and like. you can argue that percy is that #but I disagree! percy's arrogance is unrelated to his self loathing! theyre two separate facets of his personality! #anyway. im fuming lol can you tell #critical role #cr spoilers #cr lb
