For the weirdly specific ask meme - 8 and 11!

8. You may personally require that Liam O'Brien plays a non-core four (ie, not a Rogue, Wizard, Cleric, or Fighter) character for at least 10 episodes - he cannot in any way be one of those classes, even as a multiclass. If you like Orym, assume this has no impact on him. What class or multiclass do you have him play?

It might just be because I want more artificers, but I would love for Liam to play an artificer! I think the class has a lot of fun choices to make, in a similar vein to fighter subclass picks, while also being open to a lot of creative magic work what with the, you know, artifice, which I thought he did well with Caleb.

(Plus my agenda for more int-based PCs continues.)

11. A common stance within the fandom you would most like to eliminate on the specific grounds of hypocrisy/self-contradiction.

Ohhhhh man. I have a tricky one, in that it's two sides of one coin, but the dichotomy between "the cast are just a bunch of friends playing a home game uwu we're hanging out with them :)" and "Critical Role is a Corporate Entity."

It ends up feeling like folks both believe the cast to be their friends and also act as though they aren't nerds who have spent more time in fandom spaces (as fans themselves, often!) than the average age of the show's fanbase.

#thank you for the ask! these were fun to think about haha #I will not tag this one cuz I don't think it's quite discourse but it's also not clean enough to go in the main tag lol #I did have to sit there like 'hmm... what's not going to get me in ACTUAL trouble xD'

Twilight but make it fucked up...and have them fuck

The idea originally came from two places. I had this dream once, and in all honesty, it was a sex dream. I remember it at the time because it had been a while since I had had one, and there was an element of it that stuck out to me that was just so weird I needed to write it down.

I was having sex with a vampire, duh, and he kept asking me for permission to bite my neck. Each time he bit down, right before he did, in my ear he would ask and I would consent. Each. Time.

Now we love a consent king, but I couldn't get this idea out of my head. Factor in the thing that at the time, I was watching Critical role, and Liam O'Brien was doing a german inspired accent for his wizard character.

The man in question

Though the vampire looked like O'Brien, he was not in fact Liam O'Brien but someone else entirely. A whole other person, with that accent, and their own agenda and needs.

The second bit was a short story that I had started out of boredom one day at my job. I just opened up a google doc and started spewing out information on this doc. Now this short story had nothing to do with the dream, keep this in mind and bear with me.

This short story was the origins of a wizard couple set back in the late nineteenth century, about how they met, fell in love, and the tragedy of their romance leading to a messy break up and half a century of stalking, murder, identity theft and the eventual head on collision of their anger before forming a rocky friendship.

Wizard

What the fuck does this have to do with either of each other? No idea, but soon I had these three characters interacting with each other, getting to know the other, hating one and loving another. And then I made up other people to go with these three bastards. Who were their other friends, colleagues, fellow bloodthirsty vagabonds and magic users? How vast was this world?

And then, soon I was writing these stories down. My german consent vampire king became Heinrich, a vampire who isn't a fan of what he is but has no desire to go to hell for something that wasn't his fault. He wants to know the pleasures of a mortal life, not one of survival and movement.

Maybe I'll more into this later, but right now, I'm gonna pause and actually write the book.

Talks Machina Summary, Episode 52

*SPOILERS*

Just a heads up, some of this is combined to comply with the new text block limit. If the formatting is a little messy or random things seem to be under the same bullet point, I apologize.

•Laura Bailey and Liam O'Brien on tonight’s episode. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Yeehaw Game Ranch premiered today, this episode will be uploaded on Thursday. The series will air every other Tuesday at 4pm, pacific time.

•Quality Avantika impression. ALSO, Monday March 4th, crowdfunding campaign for Vox Machina animated special begins. TALKS MACHINA WILL BE UPLOADED TO CRITICAL ROLE YOUTUBE CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE, HALLELUJAH!

•This:

•Tiefling classes, no dirty implications here folks!

•Frumpkin got his first nat 20 during episode 52.

•Liam used the disguise self because he missed being Laura’s twin. For Caleb, it was just practicality.

•Jester’s view on Caleb has not changed since his backstory reveal. Although, it did make her feel guilty about giving him crap about being dirty. Jester didn’t go out much, but the different kinds of people that came to where she lived as a kid helped make up for that lack of experience.

•Caleb never specified that he wanted to take down anyone affiliated with the empire.

•Jester thinks she did awesome with her diplomatic encounter. She does not realize her charisma is so low.

•Caleb is not scared by being manipulated by other political powers (AKA Xhorhas), but he feels wrong being out of the empire just because everything that matters is there. He knows he’s walking into a dangerous place, but it’s not like his home wasn’t dangerous already.

•Max eats a Starburst with the wrapper on.

•Jester is always down to spread the word of the Traveler, even in Xhorhas: nothing is sacred.

•Laura has no backup for Jester because she feels like that would be admitting she would be okay if Jester was gone. Laura then goes on to compare this to her experience as an actor with her mother telling her to get a backup job and her refusal to do so.

•Jester doesn’t even care about the Empire vs Xhorhas. Caleb just sees it as a big mess. He still has emotional ties to the empire, but sees that they’ll flawed and awful (not everyone, but a decent portion).

•The whole gem tattoo/gem in the arm has crossed Liam’s mind, but he says it doesn’t really bother Caleb since tattoos are just a thing and the two processes aren’t similar enough to trigger anything for him. If anyone could convince Caleb to get a tattoo, it would be Jester. Jester isn’t afraid of the pain of getting a tattoo and would totally get one.

•Caleb doesn’t really have an agenda for where he wants to go, as of now he is just following the parade of disasters known as the Mighty Nein.

•Liam doesn’t answer questions about where he got his clothes, and Brian trolls everyone who asks him.

•Jester felt awesome about teaming up with Nott for another detective adventure, but she did change her perspective about Nott upon learning she was a mother. Jester knows what that relationship is supposed to be like and feels bad that Nott had that ripped away from her. Laura has thought back on all the times Nott refused to bathe and sees them in a new light now that Nott revealed her trauma to the group.

•More tiefling jokes. Dani disapproves of said tiefling jokes.

•One of Liam’s favorite spell components/somatic combination is running his hand through phosphorus for wall of fire.

•Laura thinks “consecuted” means something about being reborn.

•Liam doesn’t worry about picking the wrong spells, he already knows he will. Also, Liam NEVER makes mistakes.

•Laura feels that Liam has a stronger platform for the D&D Beyond Presidential Campaign. Greg is undecided. Dani is contractually obligated to vote for Sam (but is open to monetary persuasion).

•Jester doesn't really care about keeping the Kryn’s powerful relic.

•Jester enjoyed having more tieflings around her, even if they were just disguises.

•Liam has been kept busy enough that he has no current plans to create a new spell for his character. Jester on the other hand….

This:

•Jester thinks it’s important for Fjord to appreciate himself. She sees him growing back his tusks as a step toward realizing how awesome he is. Liam realizes that Caleb caught Fjord’s accent slip and says that Fjord’s whole identity crisis is a major part of his character.

•They both realize the portal they found is super dangerous. Laura and Liam then debate who will die first. Personally, I vote for neither.

SEARCH FOR GROG QUESTIONS BELOW: SPOILERS

•Liam chose to play a grave cleric of the Raven Queen because he wanted to do something adjacent to what his character was in the past. He also didn’t want to do something random and felt his character should help flesh out the lore of the world. Liam also wanted to be sure no one from Vox Machina died.

•Laura has been looking at Vox Machina art. She very much enjoys stepping back into the Percy/Vex relationship. Vex’s first “darling” during the sound check made Dani tear up.

•It was painful for Vex to have Lieve’tel around, but she appreciates having someone else appreciate what her brother did.

•Everyone was begging Sam not to drink from the old mug before the show began. Graphic descriptions of the contents of the mug ensue.

•Nostalgic Moments: Gilmore, Allura, Percy/Vex banter, Scanlan and Trinket, “I can carry him,” Scanlan inspiration, and just Pike in general.

•“The Search for Bob”

•Diabolic planning is underway, possible announcements in the future.

Plain Talking On Locating Root Factors Of

UK's divorce bill figure will come in final Brexit deal: trade minister Prosecutor accuses fired Catalan leader of rebellion 'Me Too' sparks conversation on sexual harassment UK's divorce bill figure will come in final Brexit deal: trade minister LONDON (Reuters) - Britain can only come up with a figure for a financial settlement with the European Union when Brexit has been agreed, trade minister Liam Fox said on Sunday, warning leaders not to believe London is bluffing over a no deal. Britain's International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, arrives for a meeting in Downing Street in central London, Britain October 9, 2017. REUTERS/Toby Melville Prime Minister Theresa May won a reprieve last week in the talks to unravel more than 40 years of union, when EU leaders offered a signal that the negotiations could move on to a discussion of future ties in December. [nL8N1MU7RH] But the British leader, weakened after losing her Conservatives’ majority in a June election and failing to reset her agenda at an ill-fated party conference, faces several hurdles at home before being able to force the talks forward. She must get legislation to sever ties with the EU through both houses of parliament, and, on Sunday, the opposition Labour Party said it would team up with Conservative rebels to try to force changes to the EU withdrawal bill. Fox, speaking on ITV television, said Britain would offer the other 27 EU members “further assurance” on its divorce before the next summit in December to unlock the talks to make way for a discussion of future trade ties. “I don’t know what that number is but it’s very clear that we could only have that final number as part of a final agreement, we would want to know what the end state is,” Fox said. “Away from the hyperbole around the divorce bill there is actually a great deal of cooperation going on between us,” he said, adding that the government would show the EU that “we are moving in the right direction” on the first phase of talks. But he also said the EU should not believe that Britain was bluffing by saying it was preparing for a no deal, describing trading according to World Trade Organization rules as “not exactly a nightmare scenario”. May faces a delicate balancing act, not only in Brussels where she must respond to the EU’s demands for more concrete pledges on the so-called divorce bill, but also at home, where some of her lawmakers want her to walk away from the talks. Upping the pressure on her, Labour’s Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer said the party would back Conservatives hoping to amend the EU withdrawal bill, which seeks to ‘copy and paste’ EU law into British legislation to ensure Britain has functioning laws and the same regulatory framework when it leaves.
