"I can fix him." "I can make him worse" I can have him tucked up in his blankie with his binkie and his bear and a warm bottle of milk.

#i know this is cr*nge but forgive me #baby mode is kind of consuming my brain and not just on weekends anymore #its starting to become my whole personality lol #morgan is like We are so back and i cant stop her

I keep lingering on the fact that Chetney says that the only thing left when he came home was toys, because on its face it's such a strange detail.

He says it as though he feels like it was an indication that his family left the one thing that was associated with him, that he cared about, that he has essentially crafted his whole identity around, which indicated to him that they were left there because the family didn't want them—and by extension, didn't want him.

But what if there was something else? What if he'd misinterpreted? What if they were trying to leave them as a point of connection, like a coded note that they were thinking about him as they fled? What if a misunderstanding left Chetney alone for his entire life, and it was entirely his fault?

It's like, god, his confession feels so concrete (in a way that Travis is very good at when talking around backstory) such that it really starkly outlines what he doesn't say. And gnomes live such long lives that, yes, you could have relatives walk in and out of your life with some regularity and spend a lot of time independent and distant without ever severing the connection, and it doesn't feel like the circumstances in the family were so bitter that the family cared so little as to simply abandon him entirely, at least not without extenuating circumstances.

I just keep thinking about it and the more I think about it the more I want to know what happened, because there's something else there—but the thing is, a large part of Chetney as a character is that sometimes you do feel such resentment for so long that by the time you even think to reconsider, things (or people) have changed or passed, and there isn't always a satisfying answer to be had.

#kinda like. opposite of fjord actually. #with fjord you have the idea that you can change and things can change but sometimes you CAN go back and find someone who loved you #anyway like. yeah I keep thinking about how much the vibe also feels like how essek talks about his family. #just so distant and very much the black sheep of the family but there's still genuine caring even if there's not understanding #I do think about longevity so much okay. do not get me started about long-lived characters I will not stop #critical role #cr meta #chetney pock o'pea #cr spoilers

Sorry it’s strange that I’m crying, think it’s ‘cause you’re the one...

#critical role #bells hells #imodna #imogen temult #laudna #creations #literally i sank way too much time into this. #like i was like 'ooh that's a fun idea!' #well i can't just put the lyrics on their scenes it needs to be more interesting than that #what if i started overlaying relevant images #and putting textures #and then. it had been hours. #anyway if you like this kind of set let me know if i should be trying song lyric sets more for CR #this was more fun than i thought it would be or i wouldn't have sunk so much time into it #i had really not considered it because it's like. not a live action television show but i guess it can be done

so glad about this reveal from yesterday's 4-sided dive

#critical role #ashton greymoore #ashton babygirl you're such a damn fool #i do wonder though... at what point did ash start to subconsciously care abt the group.... hrm #i am relistening to cr3 rn (on ep 13) and knowing this fact will make listening more interesting... #esp in regards to ashton and orym... #babygirl... you tried to use this sweet sweet guy and instead are falling in love with him #<- this is my ashrym brain speaking #but man.... #i can't wait for ash to individually tell the group he care :) #also this makes all the times that ash had commented on orym's ashari shit more... inch resting... #i have so many thoughts and they are all about these two i'm so sorry #oh wait girl hold on #cr spoilers #just in caseies

The funniest possible resolution to the Ludinus situation is that Keyleth tells the rest of VM about the screaming Vax orb and Percy hunts Ludinus down and snipes him from a mile away before he even realizes he should be very afraid

#percy asking in a polite but violence-promising tone for someone to teleport him directly into Ludinus's home #hes just the 'so anyway i started blasting' meme personified #critical role #cr3 #cr spoilers #percildan #critical role spoilers

saying bell’s hells uniquely mistreats laudna and using the turn undead incident (when they were SURROUNDED by undead) as an example is. Laughable. If we’re gonna go all “my blorbo is treated the most cruelly by the party 🥺” I’ve got shit I can bring up! I can bring back how the Ruby vanguard killed Orym’s family and laudna STILL keeps wondering if they’re doing the right thing! But no, he’s biased, as opposed to laudna who is totally objective from 30 years of being tormented by Delilah. I can talk about how no one thought about Ashton during the party split! I can talk about how no one has EVER taken FCG’s exploration of faith seriously and they’ve been downright cruel about it. But I won’t, because for the most part no one is trying to harm each other!

I swear people on Twitter sound like scanlan during bard’s lament, except that scanlan was a character in a deeply bad mental state and Sam knew he was being unfair with his accusations.

#yeah fuck it I’m starting a discourse tag #cr discourse #cr spoilers #Zoe does stuff #I almost feel like I should tag this laudna crit or something #but I’m truly just trying to show how you can twist focus to make it sound like any character is a meanie to your fave

once tim meets lucy’s parents it's all gonna click for him why she got so defensive about his belief in her taking the detectives exam.

#*carly catalogs #once they start berating her in his presence it'll all make sense cause how the hell can you belittle your only daughter that way?????? #i can imagine them all sitting around a table at dinner and tim trying to take lucy's hand underneath but she pushes him away #keeping her own in her lap and anxiously fiddling them while she sits in silence and lets them continue to bully her while trying not to cr #i'm just thinking about the hoops lucy lept through all throughout her childhood just to please her parents and make them proud #but for some reason none of it has ever been enough #it's so hard to believe in yourself or believe anyone else could believe in you if your parents showed very little to no belief in you #i do hope we get a chenford meet the parents date and that tim will snap and defend THE HELL out of lucy to her ungrateful parents #i hope he tears them a new one fr #the rookie #the rookie s6 #tim bradford #lucy chen #chenford #otp: you know me so well

Percy: "You don't have to get involved in this."

Vex: "Oh, we are SO involved."

Grog: "Yeah we do, you said you want 'em dead."

Vex: "We've got your back, darling."

Vax: "Percival, you don't really have a choice in the matter."

i gotta be real the fact that imodna WAS intended to be strictly platonic for SO LONG but the spirits of the characters just possessed them and went YOU SHOULD KISS makes me like the ship more actually

#like maybe it’s just me being aro and cautious about ship stuff #but it feels nice to know i wasn’t like. stupid. for missing the Mystical Romance Signs or whatever #also it makes it funnier. which we all know. is the criteria for me to start shipping something #cr #cr3 #crshipping #imodna

Let me back it up to the start of the climb

#my art #critical role #critical role fanart #cr fanart #orym #orym of the air ashari #started as an orym wabbit doodle and then i kinda just didnt stop adding things? this is more abstract and more like textured than usual #link is to the song on orym's exu playlist that i took that quote from. finding something for the caption delayed this half an hour. jesus #anyway click for details! lemme know what you think!

Some weirdly key and popular people in ttrpg media circles have such a transparent double standard for anything published under CR’s umbrella that it’s jarring and feels insane to me that no one points it out

#I swear some of the same design teams could publish with a different company #and get nothing but fawning praise #if you pay attention you’ll also start to notice certain indie internet entertainment companies #get overly praised for actions CR has also taken which are condemned as ‘bare minimum’ or entirely dismissed #it’s just bonkers to me how blatant it’s becoming and no one acknowledges it #this is a little bit about the crowd intent on telling people excited about Daggerheart to calm down #and that they need to criticize it #2 hours after the launch #but it’s also been simmering in my mind for months #luck’s personal opinions

oh god how do i say this without undermining the importance of kindness... i do not think essek sees the kiss on the forehead as a good memory. it's a complicated moment in his life, beyond layered and beyond anything that ever runs out of possibilities. i think the kiss on the forehead was important for him, of course, absolutely impossible to deny, i am just saying that he looks back on it with a bit of a heavy heart, and always will, i think. it's a moment of growth, sure, but like every apologize the heaviness of what you did and what those you're apologizing to and for were feeling leaves a bittersweet taste in your mouth. am i making any sense. it is not a happy memory but a dear one.

and what if i'm looking for scenes of imodna holding hands and almost every single one is laudna holding imogen's hand to ground her? what if there's almost no examples of imogen holding laudna's hand to ground her? what then??? WHAT THEN???????

#WHAT T HE N #emphasis on 'almost' btw. there are examples of this. but only like 3 #also before ppl start yelling at me. i am not suggesting that imogen is not a good gf or smth #they obvs derive support from each other in different ways. it's just that when their most recent convo emphasizes /holding on/ so much... #just noticing things. just making note of things. just filing things away for later #and if delilah doesn't twist this into something to use later? missed opportunity honestly dfkjsdkfjsd #text #nova shh #critical role #cr3 #imogen temult #laudna cr #ship: imodna
