So since 4sd this week I have been thinking about my favorite critical role quote.

"It's about a very long story and we are, even you, a tiny part of it."

Which is from campaign one episode 56 (near the end I could look up the time stamp but I am lazy). It's a Percy quote and it is a CRIMINALLY under rated cr quote cause have you ever heard anything more perfectly describing critical role? Any way my point is I love this quote and it is never included in cr quote lists AND IT SHOULD BE. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

#seriously i could go on about this ine quote for pages #like the first time i watch cr it was nothing #but rewatching campaign one with the context of what it grows into?#especially since he says it to keyleth #who has been in every cr story even as a tiny part #of not even the story of cr #but like the fandom #and the kickstarter #*I* am a tiny part of the story #and like life to but that is not here nor there #critical role #vox machina #c1ep56 #percy de rolo #cr1 #4sd #talisen jaffe

Actually loving how the different critical role campaigns exist in relation to themselves, each other, and the world at large, and how their different narrative structures ripple outward.

Campaign 1 was story driven. Not to say the characters weren’t deeply important and dynamic, but their growths were largely driven through and by the plot. They were on a mission and grew along with that mission, and as a mission driven archetypically heroic party they also left very few loose threads by the end.

Campaign 2, meanwhile, was more insular and character driven. Where Vox Machina traveled all over the world and planes outside the main setting of Tal'Dorei, the Mighty Nein largely stayed in Wildemount, allowing for a more intimate and political look at it’s cultures. Instead of story and characters revolving around plot, plot revolves around character. We only got to see Yasha’s tribe in the epilogue, because her growth didn’t require facing them. We didn’t face Uk’otoa, because Fjord’s arc culminated in embracing the Wildmother, not in facing his former patron. Similarly, while the entire Assembly was an antagonistic force, only Trent was dealt with directly, because he was the only one directly tied into one of the pc's arcs.

The larger world building let us know about Molaesmyr and Ludinus, about the Luxon, even about Ruidus to some extent, but the Mighty Nein weren’t a typically heroic party here to save the world and solve every mystery, but a group of broken people finding it in themselves to heal, and to end their journey ready to face greater threats in the future. They were still getting the Assembly and Uk'toa, they just weren’t doing it in the main narrative, because they were irrelevant to the growth of the characters. Of course, that also left a lot of threads hanging, which brings us to campaign 3.

By now, it seems pretty clear that campaign 3 is another plot driven story rather than the more meandering, character driven narrative of c2. That leaves the cast free to pick up on the many larger mysteries in world building left in the wake of the last campaign. What is the nature of the Luxon? Of Ruidus? Of Aeor and the aeormatons? Half the party was just plopped down not far from the ruins of Molaesmyr, Ludinus' former home - will they go there? One of them is tied to the Luxon and dunamancy, another to Ruidus and Predathos - will we get to know the true nature of these entities?

Much like c1, the characters of this campaign are driven and shaped by events rather than shaping their own events. The difference is, c1 began as a blank slate, whereas c3 has history. Powerful allies and enemies alike are tied to former campaigns because such is the nature of the world. Mysteries left to solve were introduced earlier but approached only now because this is a campaign whose narrative and characters are served by approaching them. The world is dynamic. Alive. One story merges into the next, and new heroes are born on the shoulders of the last, ready to be shaped by their own narrative.

#critical role meta #critical role #cr3 #cr2 #cr1 #you know the drill time to go insane about narratives again #any of these plot threads could have been pursued in campaign 2!#most of them - the luxon‚ ruidus‚ ludinus‚ even molaesmyr (if they go there) - had plot hooks!#story wise it would have made sense to go there #but character wise it would not‚ and c2 was a narrative all about character #its been said before but every mission they took on after mollys death was about character #going to the ocean for fjord and xhoras for veth #saving the empire for beau and caleb #facing obann for yasha #fixing the grove for cad and hosting travelercon for jester #facing lucien - and saving the world - for the friend they lost and who shaped all of them #were their party more like vm it's likely they would’ve taken the plot hook of the war #There’s also a whole post i want to write about the nature of c1 vs c3 #and the fandom idea that c3 isn't centered on marquet enough #when i feel they are about the same in terms of travelling to and invoving other places #c3 just happens to come off the back of the much more insular c2 and as such the difference is very stark #anyway. put a pin in that. maybe i'll write it later #nella talks

I love ur pfp 😄 where is it from ?

Thank you. I found it on Twitter on one of the Daily Laura fan accounts. Given the set in the background, it’s probably from a certain aftershow during Campaign 1. Sorry, I couldn’t be really specific.

[Additional Image Description: On a grey background, there are five small black line art illustrations lined up across the center. The first is a sword with a hooked blade pointing upwards, the second is a hand with magic curling up out of it, the center is a castle with wavy lines extending from it into a dark sky, the third is a beaker with steam curling up from it, and the last is a shortsword pointing downwards. The sword has a few dark red shading lines. In the lower right corner of the fanmix cover is the title, "heart of my own," in dark red medieval calligraphy font. End Additional Image Description.]

My friend liked this so maybe you will too

A small addendum: Leviathan and Stolas are both also stuck in torrid gay romances with some annoying bastard, but Leviathan lost all patience for his annoying bastard centuries ago
