loving it so far, and totally get why they made the decisions they did. but also, my vax'ilmore heart cannot let this scene pass this casually without letting you all know just how much liam was acting his fucking heart out in the original
(rip to "that's what i always assumed i'd see in my last moments", you will stay imprinted on my brain forever)
Percy saving Vax from acid side by side with Percy accidentally getting Vex killed and knowing that won't soften Vax any because he cares more about Vex than his own life.
Thinking about a universe where Scanlan was able to use Wish and Vax lived after all.
Thinking of him and Keyleth settling into their house built inside of giant tree in Zephrah.
Thinking of him and Keyleth starting a polycule with Shaun after some time has passed - Vax had always loved that man, he'd just been too scared to admit it to himself before now.
I'm picturing Shaun opening a branch of his shop in Zephrah so he has an excuse to visit for long periods of time - he is working Sherri, stop glaring at him like a disappointed mother, he has a reputation you know.
Maybe they all get married to each other somehow, maybe they even have children.
They have options for children; they could adopt, they could always adopt, they know plenty of children need and deserve it
i also headcanon Vax as trans, so he could carry the kids if he felt comfortable enough in his body and identity to do so
or Keyleth could, as well - though I personally have the headcanon that she can change sex on a whim and prefers having a male body during sex, I can see her agreeing to having Vax's kids should he be able to give them
they would all just be happy to have children, I think
they'd all be cute parents imo
...
im picturing Shaun and Kiki helping a pregnant Vax get around the house because a boy has zoomies but also his body is not capable of going zoom right now and he will cry if he can't move around
im seeing Shaun and Keyleth doing magic for the baby to keep it entertained while Vax rests and heals up for a bit
I'm seeing Vax taking the baby flying when they can't sleep, the baby soothed by the wind and amazed by the wings
I'm seeing Keyleth in Minxy form, the baby riding on her back, walking through town at Vax's side as he shops
I'm seeing Vax and Gilmore gushing over baby clothes
I'm seeing Vax doing up the nursery by hand, no magic involved, carving the furniture from wood himself and painting murals on the walls
I loved the last three eps of The Legend of Vox machina but I am the tiniest bit sad that the scene of Gilmore pushing Vax off the cliff to get his wings is gone
I'm watching Critical Role for the first time (well, sort of, I made a couple of previous attempts but never got very far) after getting into it via The Legend of Vox Machina and finally met Gilmore and let me tell you.
Vax'ildan and Gilmore's date is fucking EVERYTHING to me right now.
my father is watching tlovm s2e1 right now and his only comments so far are that he likes the dragons this season because the designs are better and they like more like kaiju, and that vax and gilmore need to get a room. he knows what’s up
