"we are more than what our creators intended for us" really is The line of campaign 3 and is exactly what the bells and their antagonists and their own creators struggle with. with all their being. cries

i hate the criticism that the bells don't mourn fcg because a) if we're playing the "onscreen time mourned" game, the m9 & bh both spend portions of 3 episodes outwardly mourning before knowing they must move on (not expressing it further until later), but also b) thats an incredibly reasonable reaction to have. the bells have been in wartime, accepted they all may die, already shove emotion down, and have experienced too much loss before. of course they only take decent time to remember fcg when the war is done. they cant. stop. or as we see, theyll fall apart. grief is complex and quieter than folk expect it to always be. and even despite them shoving it down they still slip and remember him, ashton forever grappling with someone so similar sacrificing themselves (and attempting to do the same), orym calling out to fcg for help but the silence hangs in realization ....

"You spend a lot of time in a dark place, you forget what home looks like. That doesn't mean the yearning is gone. Especially when it... finds you again."

FAVORITE CRITICAL ROLE CHARACTER MEME: F.C.G.

"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."

"The red that's burning in FCG's eyes fades to white. The head turns to a smile towards all of you, as you see the energy in the core begin to [explosive noises]. Otohan, you see, notices this, and begins to pull, and you just grab her and hold her there. Before she even gets a chance to dart - [EXPLOSION] There is a ball of crackling energy that just fills the space, holding aloft and burning. [...] You all kind of catch yourself in this moment of disbelief before it stops, leaving a crater in the ground. The sound of hundreds of small pieces of metal begin to sprinkle across the room... and the charred, lifeless body of Otohan Thull, is left there."

i love getting to see ira's serious spy persona in c3e90. we learn throughout the story that ira was an undercover agent for hire in the apex war, and while we see otohans warrior skills from it, we don't actually see ira's specific skillset til now. his usual whimsy turned to dark seriousness, utilizing the cruelty of kreviris's classism to scare innocents away and stopping the bells and their tendency to kindness because it wont win them this mission. he knows war.

and yet despite his incredible skillset working alone, he watches out for the bells and educates them on how to infiltrate. despite his earned confidence, he expresses extreme anxiety seeing his former employers and how the bells struggle in the face of them. and despite his callousness, & bragging about being the only survivor of other infiltrations, he saves fearne, using his highest spell slot.
