"I'd like to imagine Brennan walked into the Critical Role offices, slammed his fist down on the desk and said, 'I'll tell you right now, either you put Lou Wilson in Calamity, or I walk!' And then Matt stomped out his cigar into an already crowded ashtray and was like, 'Fine Sweet Cheeks, but if he doesn't deliver it's your ass!'" — Lou Wilson, imagining how he was brought onto ExU ("We Chat With Critical Role's Exandria Unlimited: Calamity Cast" by Gavin Sheehan for Bleeding Cool)

BURROWS END SPOILERS

I'm imagining the eventual Wikipedia pages for them 45 years later.

Jaysohn OLY (born ca. 1981) is a Stoat (Mustela sapiens) long-jumper who became the first Animal to compete in the Olympics when he won a gold medal representing Last Bast in Los Angeles in 1984. After the Stoat First Contact of 1982, the International Olympic Committee recognized Last Bast as its own country with its own Olympic committee and adopted what was called "Jaysohn's Rule."

I did not expect myself to get so emotionally attached to a chocolate rabbit.

A chocolate rabbit that slapped a carrot.

A chocolate rabbit that was a heretic and apostate.

A chocolate rabbit that’s really just an old man that drones on about history.

A chocolate rabbit that kept professing that they were all going to die, but in the end, it was because he granted Fly to Theobald, the person he acted as if he so hated, instead of himself that everyone else could make it out alive. It was in that battle that Lapin no longer cared about keeping up his facade as a Bulbian believer, casting his magic freely to side with the Candians. Though they showed him so little appreciation, with the princesses and king vocal about their distaste for his lectures, Liam avoiding his company, and Theobald constantly reminding him of their supposed mutual distaste for each other, he died for them that day, alone with the enemy.

No, I am not okay.

I don't think you need all the backstory in the world. What backstory is there to do, is give you a sense of trajectory. Where you are coming from informs where you are going, and it's the going that's essential.

Trickster saves the world by fucking it all up

“The water begins to part, and you see vast and many realms of the Neverafter, many stories, many different versions of the stories of your companions. You see different versions of Pinocchio, different versions of Sleeping Beauty. All these things unveil themselves to you, and you see lots of great powers in this world. You see witches and fairies. You see monsters, like a terrible leviathan coming after Pinocchio. You see the Big Bad Wolf from Little Red Riding Hood’s legend.

But you also see, over and over again, this continuation of animals in these stories getting up to mischief, and you look back at all the different lives you’ve lived, and you always see the clever fox, the cunning rabbit. You see these different versions of the cat in these stories, and in some places you’re helping, in some you’re hurting. But you feel this sudden tug or pull of understanding that there’s some reason or purpose to the animals that appear in these stories.

And when you think of your most recent life, of taking a poor miller’s son and through cleverness and trickery making him king, it seemed that there were a lot of forces trying to control the flow of these stories and determine what it is they should be, and that your role has often been to upset that. That you’ve lived many lives of saying, something’s actually going to be a different way now. Something unexpected or strange or hilarious is going to happen to subvert the order of how these things tend to go.”

— the DM (Brennan Lee Mulligan) to Puss in Boots (Zay Oyama) in Neverafter Episode 4: “Once Upon A Time”

Reynard the Fox

“In mythology, whenever a system becomes overregulated, a figure spontaneously appears to restore balance by introducing chaos. The trickster is “playful, mischievous, and sometimes outrageous.” He delights in paradox, confusion, and “auspicious bewilderment”. He keeps us from being too confident that we know what we are doing or that we are in control. [...] The trickster confounds a perspective that sees reality only through the lens of power. He proves that something exists that is neither power nor its opposite.”

— Susan Wyatt, “Awakening the Trickster”

“[Tricksters] stabilize society by annoying it.”

— Paul Mattick reviewing Lewis Hyde’s Trickster makes this world

“I feel like in the last one, my kind of life was a little simpler. I did some trickery, but overall, I was a little on the sweeter side. And I think it seems fun and it seems correct to just fuck it all up.”

— Puss in Boots (Zac Oyama) in Neverafter Episode 4: “Once Upon A Time”

I NEED AYDA

no like you don’t understand …… all my thoughts this episode are just incoherent screaming because I want her!!!!!!!! Come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so sad! I wanted openly autistic lesbian wizard!!!!!! Come back!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaa

#I’m so normal about fictional characters #so normal #that’s not a lie #dimension 20 #brennan lee mulligan #dropout #ayda aguefort #ayda fantasy high

found in stephen king's book On Writing.

i think a certain brennan lee mulligan would clearly disagree 😌

#i'm def joking #bleem has specifically mentioned how great this book is for writing fiction before #it's just funny i happened upon this after watching ep 1 of fhjy #dimension 20 #d20 #brennan lee mulligan #actual play ain't the same as writing fiction #also this wasnt technically a flashback either #don't mind my lil notes about SKs position on flashbacks #fantasy high junior year spoilers #fhjy spoilers #fantasy high

[figscigfigs]

my favorite moments from ep. 4 of neverafter:

everytime brennan welcomed someone in he said “wanna play some dnd” and that was pretty okay for someone who just killed all his friends while playing a game of pretend

lou shaking the chairs when he got the nat 20

the aussie trickster rabbit

zac’s cat mannerisms

the idea that every version of every story exists in the neverafter and can be lived through which simultaneously created and broke the neverafter (depending on who you talk to) is just a really sexy plot

siobhan and emily’s outfits killed today (very sad we didn’t get to see them in the adventuring party)

cinderella as a whole is so wonderful (and gay *fingers crossed*)

“i can ring for tea”

“oh. ah fffffffffff…. freak. really?” (…) “i’m sorry i said freak at you. oh! i’m saying it again. freak!”

grandma (possibly a werewolf????)’s description being “eyes, ears, and teeth of a normal size”

ylfa and her grandma but especially”we’re pulling a grandma heist, okay?” "you're the one who says we can have black tea after two pm” "am i" “yea that's why you're my best friend" and “does that mean i’m a princess” “you’re my princess, we’re still broke so”

gerard talking about the theoretical book and his sequel and trilogy

“and then you yelled at me… which is rude. i am a prince”

ally’s continuation of nat king cole

"we don't know if for sure he stole... anything" "it's hard, kids are hard" "he killed a guy" “honestly i'm still proud"

and that we still got a hi intrepid heroes at the end <3

something about Neverafter has made me remember this thought I had once a long time ago. we're all very vocally tired of reboots and sequels and stories about the same things being rehashed over and over again and obviously capitalism has used these stories as these vacuous and vapid safe-bets.

but... also there's something very human about telling the same stories over and over again. it feels very folkloric that we keep telling the same stories. and I don't hate that aspect. obviously it's been tainted by The Mouse's Crusade for Copyright. but on its own, I don't hate that Clueless is modernised Emma, yk? Cinderella is one of the oldest stories that we still tell. and I like that. it feels magical that that's the case.

A charismatic storyteller with broad shoulders and inexplicably sexy chest hair.

Am I describing Varric Tethras or Brennan Lee Mulligan?

#varric tethras #brennan lee mulligan #they gave me two dragon age games where i had varric but couldn't romance him #i am not normal about the fictional dwarf or the real man

[thespoonisvictory]

the scene in b4b where Nikhil switches to oath of devotion and extends his new aura to not only his younger sister but also his younger self is such an insane moment for me. it's about the demonstration to younger Nikhil that he is something more now, quite literally radiating with a different, brighter energy, that's selfless by design.

something in Nikhil just changes entirely in that moment, and it's like a gear shifting into place, like "ah, this makes so much more sense than whatever I've been doing before." it's a sense of internal calm, almost, a surety of self where there was an over-compensating assholeishness before to guard himself. everything about him feels so much more in control as soon as he stops forcefeeding himself the "everyone else is awful and I was never the problem" mindset

#b4b #battle for beyond nikhil #brennan lee mulligan #if you can't tell I'm bonkers for the imagery of younger nikhil looking at older nikhil and going Oh #we are different now #there is something else #also the 'I have finally stopped acting like an asshole and god I feel So Much Better' glow is one of my fav fiction things

I had way less whimsy as a child than other people. ’Cause when I saw the whale go over the kid [in Free Willy], I was like, "Unsafe! Get out from under the whale! Cheer on your whale friend from a safe distance!"
