I still think this is one of the better things I’ve put out into the internet actually
Listen I’m not fully caught up on the manga or anime, but the Endeavor redemption leaves a really bad taste in my mouth so far. Especially because it’s barely brought up while focusing on his relationship with his kids that he BOUGHT HIS WIFE.
Also I feel like the people who I’ve seen talk about online end up excusing his behavior because of in world reasons (ex: he’s the number one hero so he can’t be held accountable) when they don’t recognize that it’s being written by a person, and the person wrote it that way for a reason.
Like when you’re writing a story about abuse and you focus more on how the abusers feel about their actions than how the victims do…that seems odd.
Okay folks repeat after me: it’s okay to critic the things we love.
People criticizing critical role’s lack of diversity, especially in light of their campaign setting, have a valid point. You can acknowledge that and still enjoy campaign three.
Something something about my Shepard who was raised on earth surrounded by death, who joined the military, who died only to be resurrected to die again. Something about falling in love with an assassin who was terminally ill who didn’t die from his illness but from a sword through the chest. Something about being an orphan, being in grief, being surrounded by war, and accidentally falling in love with a specialist who hasn’t given up yet, who wants to build a future. Something about being surrounded by death every minute and every day, being a murderer and being a soldier and being a survivor. And choosing life.

RIP to all the fan artists who spent so long on their campaign 3 group artworks and then this happens
I wonder if the cast won’t name themselves like Bertrand’s Bells, but will name themselves something with Bell in it as a homage to him. I’m sure someone else will come up with something more clever, but The Bell Tolls, Bell Ringers, Hells Bells, something like that

Pros to having the wildemount gays all live together:
Gardening buddies
Empire sibs collectively dying from queer exposure
wlw mlm solidarity
xhorhass gays get to welcome empire sibs home after a long workday and honestly, i think we all need this
collective couch snuggles probably.
THERE ARE LIKE TEN CATS AND DOGS COMBINED HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS CONSEPT I’M-
Cons:
There are none.
Everything is as it should be. UwU<3
Critical role really said genderqueers stick together and I think in this case they understood the assignment.
Anyways, I am dying to get fan art of Milo
Taliesin’s character is very gender, as always, but can we also appreciate that he really said, “Try to kill my character this campaign, Matt, I dare you.”








Here’s a Health to the Company (Youtube link)
I’m not even halfway through Critical Role Campaign 2, and already a new story is starting. I’ve grown incredibly attached to these characters already, and their pirate arc has been a fun mess of so many emotions. What better way to deal with that than sea shanties?
(As I said, I’m on episode 45, so please don’t comment/tag with spoilers for the sake of myself and others.)
I’m always here for time-travel Molly/Caleb fan fiction but I just pictured the well adjusted post campaign Caleb experimenting on new time spells with Essek and accidentally traveling back in time and saving Molly and for some reason it’s hilarious to me
Like…
1) Caleb surrounded by all the disasters of early campaign Mighty Nein and their all like….Caleb are you okay? You seem okay I’m worried
2) Caleb/Molly/Essek where Caleb misses his husband, Essek, and his love, Molly, and his crush, Kingsley
3) Caleb meeting Essek again and going…Well this is awkward my traitor to the dynasty husband without all his character development
4) Just like…all of it there’s so much comedy potential. Imagine well adjusted Caleb having a conversation about mental health with any of them
5) Caleb just absolutely destroying Trent Ickithon
And like yeah there would be some angst cause he misses the future and has to do it all again but I just think it would be a Really Fun Fanfic
thinking about atla thematics as usual and fascinated by how many fans insist they wanted aang to “grow up” more at the end of the series without considering how one of the show’s major themes is the terrible ways war and imperialism rob people of their childhoods. one of aang’s major gifts to every single character is restoring a piece of their lost or stolen or brutalized childhood. aang reminds katara there’s still joy in the world, and fuels her hope.
he brings wonder to sokka’s life with his flying bison. he sees zuko not as a terrifying enemy but as a boy he might have been friends with and had fun with, he offers toph a way out of her repressive home to have the adventures she’d been longing for, and all these characters rise to fulfill their destinies through honoring their inner child - the parts of themselves that are hopeful, kind, gentle, fierce, innocent, deserving of protection - and breaking the cycles of violence and abuse that interrupted their childhoods. azula was convinced she had no need for her inner child, and killed aang in cold blood in ba sing se, after which she slowly but surely lost everything she cared about, including her sense of self.
and finally, aang shows ozai mercy, thematically reminding the latter that the children he tried to kill and brutalize are a force capable of rising above petty violence, and reshaping the world. you could even argue that the original rupture in the mythos was when both sozin and the air nation sought to rob a child of their right to childhood - sozin by hunting a child, the air nomads by hastening aang out of his childhood so he could help them - and that balance is restored when aang, who represents the world’s lost gentleness and mercy, and upholds values that a war torn world regards as “childish” and “immature”, manages to end the war with a gesture that honors those values and affirms everyone’s right to a safe and loving childhood, to a life free of violence.





I see you all and you are all Right and Valid
I like Shadowgast as much as the next person but…what if, by some miracle of fate, they managed to get Molly back.
Do you think the Mighty Nein will forbid any new members because they’re too far into the nine schtick and can’t back down now.
Like it’s mostly clear that the nine nein are now Beau, Yasha, Jester, Veth, Fjord, Caleb, Caduceus, Essek, and Molly. Fan artists can finally draw three squares of three and have it look cool. But what happens if they pick up a new member?
Bam. Now there’s ten. How will they justify the name they meta gamed up on a whim that has become a centralized motif of the campaign now?
I just think it would be funny if shenanigans ensued.
I like to imagine the reason Joker looks so stressed whenever you flash forward to an interview is that they took away his glasses and he’s just trying really hard to see
