“No, the rage that I feel, the stress being so high, the fuel pumping through my core, it has reached a level it's never reached before, and it is so intense that for the first time, I realize that I am made of metal and wires, but I am alive. I'm alive for the first time, and I am alive not because I was made by D or Dancer or even the Changebringer. I'm alive because they made me alive, and it's the connections that I made with all of them. It's a feeling of joy, and I'm happy to do this, because they saved my life, and I'll save theirs.”-Fresh Cut Grass/Faithful Care-Giver
watching Liam O'Brien do a spectacular fantasy!German for dozens of episodes has impressed me so much and yet nothing could have possibly prepared me for the man starting to sing, of all the songs, "Laurentia, liebe Laurentia mein"
the immersion! if you reached to the very back of my memory there'd be like ten folk songs there and this one, which we used to have to sing at 7:00 in the morning on choir retreats while doing squats and other silly little workouts, would definitely be there. it's a silly ditty you've heard somehow exclusively in childhood, it's a little game song for children. If all else was tainted by your later life that song would probably survive, it's perfect

wait..... you are telling me a shadowgast shipper came up with the heartbreak prince headline??? THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL TURN ON EVENTS, thank you for your service to this fandom!
I’ve imagined two wizards for years and been a Liam fan since getting into CR early-C2. I only recently got the opportunity to start writing about them at my Adult Job. Liam was lovely both times we spoke. Willingham and Mercer are both awesome too.
And yes, Liam’s always been my heartbreak prince. Now I get to tell him that… on the news. I love my job! ✨
I finished my rewatch/relisten of the Vox Machina campaign in mid-December (although I recently re-embarked on the second half of the Chroma Conclave arc hoping season 3 of TLVOM will be announced (released?? 🤞) by the time I reach "A Bard's Lament"). Predictably, I bawled, AGAIN, but by then I'd already been scribbling and sketching ideas for this for... a couple of weeks? Hence the little WIP preview last month.
I'll never shut up about this moment. It's just as beautiful as it's heartbreaking, in- and off-game, especially taking into account all the context of characters/people involved.
Also, bonus, because after I finished sketching that 6th frame I thought a hug was needed.
Critical Role gets so much weirder when you remember that lines like “I wish for you in the future, to find someone who will mourn you when are gone” and “You were not born with venom in your veins” aren’t scripted, but lines like “Mother, I bring news from the womb” and “Meow. I’m a cat” are
