#And yep there is a little Vox Machina mention for you!

[vilandel]

Hi Vilandel!

What about these 🤦‍♀️🥘🎳 for Rosette for the OC ask game?

Hi Lola and thanks for asking Rosette 💘

🤦‍♀️ Something that continues to embarrass them to this day In Rosettes case, well... lucky for her, no one learned about it, but it is still a blush factor for her. She once burped loudly during a noble gathering, after eating too much of the cheese appetizers (in her defense, those were delicious). But no one realized that it was her, because... her talent to make herself invisible. And her burp managed to save Nebra from a rather insisting suitor that day. But it was still embarrassing.

🥘 Favourite food? CHOCOLATE!!! Anything with chocolate Rosette adores it. But grilled cheese sandwiches and spare ribs are also some of her favorites.

🎳 Do they have hobbies? If yes, what are they? Except gossip? Rosette loves also to read, detective novels especially even though any good story can be to her liking (and there's this book series she brought with her into the Silva Palace, called The Legend Of Vox Machina...). Embroider is also something she enjoys as something relaxing. Another thing, art made out of glass. No wonder, since she has glass magic. But Rosette likes to invest a bit of her money into glass ateliers and such, especially when they also make stained glass.

heyyy alex. i was thinking, how would Moonlight Lovers sound if it was a game with voice overs? i can't stop thinking what voices the guys could have in english and, by the way, in japanese, because even though Twisted Wonderland isn't an otome, that game and its voice lines already spoiled me and now i look for japanese seiyus for everyo un-voices character.

which voices do you think they would pay the guys? in whatever language you want, and it doesn't matter if you say a character, voice actor, normal actor or any other public figure. take careeeee!💗💗💗 (srry if bad english)

RRRRRRRRRR I ALSO LOVE THINKING OF VOICE ACTORS SM (I played Ikemen vampire and fell in love with Kenjiro Tsuda so fucking badly every time I hear him in any anime I become FERAL), and I had some hcs about VAs and ML/Eldarya in my notes so I'm sharing my thoughts with you...

I honestly didn't think of a japanese dub since we're talking about an european game, so it'd be a little weird for me to think about the VAs in japanese. But here goes my hc:

AARON: Darren Korb

I had to add somewhere my lovely Zagreus (Hades game). I absolutely am in love with his voice and I actually think that the monotony and deep pitch of voice would fit Aaron perfectly. It brings youth when you hear it, but what can we say… Aaron died when he was young so his voice is naturally as such.

BELIATH: Liam O’brien.

Since I’ve seen the whole campaign of DND from Critical Role (yep, Vox Machina mentioned here) I always admired Liam's voice a lot. There was something about it that had me barking deep inside. I am a person who feels attracted to voices, and his voice made me feel something. After rewatching Vox Machina I could say that I believe Beliath’s voice would be pretty much like Vax’ildan. It is deep and sexy, a little raspy and dbghjsjkghsdjkagnjdfsbgaj<3

RAPHAEL: Griffin Puatu

I deeply hope that I am not mistaken and this is the current voice actor for Sunday (HSR), but his voice brings me so much peace that I couldn’t help but assign it to Raphael. It is simply so calm, low and soft, it’s relaxing and comforting.

VLADIMIR: Paul Amos.

I know Jacob Frye’s character isn’t much like Vladimir, but it was hard for me to think of any other character that had a slight ‘british’ accent, but this is it. I believe Vlad’s voice wouldn’t sound as energetic and it would be more monotonous, but I can’t think of anyone else.

ETHAN: Reuben Langdon.

Devil may cry has deeply affected my daily life. I see Ethan’s voice similar to Dante’s (DMC4 btw, in DMC5 he sounds more mature and I know Ethan has a young tone yet). He quite sounds like a teen, and has a tone to mock people that is capable of pissing off anyone he wants.

IVAN: Johnny Yong Bosch.

Just talked about Dante and now talking about Nero. When I played dmc5 there was something about Nero that reminded me of Ivan, so obviously I need to think of Ivan’s voice as Nero’s. I believe he would have voice cracks whenever he gets alarmed or raises his voice a little, but he normally has a teen, youthful tone.

NEIL: Graham McTavish

My mind goes blank when it comes to this man, and it was a hard decision but the only one I see is Graham McTavish, Dracula’s voice in Castlevania (the animated series). He has a deep voice, shows authority and it’s pretty elegant. It made me shiver when I heard his voice, yet it’s grrr. I don’t know if it will fit Neil that much but it is my hc… he’s an old vampire just as Dracula might be :^

FAQ

What tag should I use?

#percahliaweek should work nicely - you can @ us @percahliaweek so we can reblog your contribution on the corresponding day.

Will you be doing anything on Twitter/other social media?

We considered it! However, as other social media sites have proven unreliable (especially lately), we'll be hosting the event only on Tumblr. However, you're welcome to post your work wherever you like!

Can I do _ for the event?

Yes. Yep. Seriously, so long as it focuses on Perc'ahlia (and is appropriately tagged to avoid spoiling people), you can do it. Cosplay, inspired recipes, beadwork, podfic, go wild! Well, with the caveat that no hateful content will be permitted - don't use a joyous event to rain on someone else's parade or promote hatespeech, alright?

Is NSFW content allowed?

Given the ship in question and just how canonically horny they are for eachother - yes! However, we request that you tag this content as #nsfw and use the appropriate content filter on it. If posting in the Discord server, keep it to the 18+ chat. Be mindful of potential minors in fandom space + people browsing content in public.

I want to participate but haven't watched Campaign 1!

We welcome fans of The Legend of Vox Machina with open arms. As a result, it's requested that campaign fans do their best to avoid spoiling show fans for anything beyond what Season 2 has shown (Umbrasyl's defeat). That means late Campaign 1, the oneshots and any mention of them in other campaigns should be tagged as #cr1 spoilers (using just this tag for simplicity). Show fans, if you want to remain unspoiled, I recommend you block this on Tumblr and mute spoilery channels in the server.

Is there an AO3 collection for the fanfics?

One can definitely be set up closer to the start date!

Does my submission have to fit one of the prompts?

That would be ideal, yes! Anything freeform should be posted on Day 7 for Free/Random prompts. But fitting the prompt can be very loose - maybe you just use the word as a motif, or you take it in an entirely unexpected direction. We want to encourage creativity and fun more than anything else.

I don't know what to do for the Free/Random day!

We have a few recommendations (we are unaffiliated with the websites linked): Random page of the Encyclopedia Exandria Random word generator OTP prompt generator AU generator 

Ghost’s Spell prompts [roll 2d20?]

Wild Magic Surge table

Life events table

If you've made prompt lists and would not mind them being featured here, reach out!

How did you choose the prompts?

Prompts were chosen over a day or two while talking with friends - they were intended to be open-ended enough to allow flexibility while also touching on key elements of the ship! Some obvious ones (ex: courage, heart, that sort of thing) were left out so that, hopefully, they could be included next year. If there's enough interest, future prompts could be chosen via fan poll.

Will this be an annual event?

We sure hope so! Hence optimistically keeping back some prompt ideas for the future. Let's see how this goes ;3

Why late September?

On September 29th, 2016, the Critical Role episode 'Passed Through Fire' aired, which features an iconic Perc'ahlia moment (no spoilers for show fans!). Following Burr's poll on which scene is most iconic for the pairing, we decided to have the week celebrate the anniversary of that episode.

So why did you announce this so early?

Because Maggie has been a gremlin about the idea since April. Also, most fans in this space are adults with jobs and responsibilities - allowing more time to create without a rush benefits everyone.

A Discord server?

We have set up a little server for this event on Discord, mostly to hang out with other Perc'ahlia fans and motivate eachother to work on our respective projects. The current link is HERE - let us know if it's not working!

Who is hosting this?

At the moment the users running this blog are @burr-ell and @blorbologist! If the event expands beyond our abilities, we will look into taking on other users to help out - you'll know if we need a hand <333

Any more questions? Feel free to send in an ask and we'll do our best to answer in a timely manner!

Exandria unlimited episode 2 thoughts:

-matts glitter beard🤣

-are we getting an ankheg as a team pet?

-combat already

-Arthur seems wierdly into this

-and fearne seem very interested in opals rope skills😳

-lisa just said that vex and vax are also from byroden so this new information makes vex automatically my favorite character of vox machina... granted i only watched one episode so far but still...

-oh my god the fact that aimee thought she just made up a spider queen and everyone just goes: "Oh yeah Lolth"

-"we're a chaotic group" really matt? You just realised that now?

-ha! i've watched one episode of campaign 1 now i know who keyleth is!

-"i feel like the ashari are closer" than the feywild? Yeah! i would hope so!

-ok, i think we can all agree that bananas are an inherently chaotic fruit but i refuse to believe that grapes are in any way good-alligned. They are obviously lawful-evil... can you tell that i don’t like grapes?

-Opal arguing with ted... why does this sound like every argument i ever had with my sister?

-”You guys left a baby in a prison?” i mean... that’s technically not wrong...

-Athlete’s foot... really? that’s the best you could come up with?

-oh my god this whole conversation sounds like they’re about to go to the elemental plane of fire... hopefully they don’t bring a four-year-old this time...

-”we actually know very little” listen... i know she meant the whole crater thing but this sentence could sum up pretty much everything that’s happened so far

-i love that fearne just noticed an earthquake and didn’t tell anyone about it. like “eh, it’s probably nothing”

-”we volunteered for five minutes and the sky is on fire” at this point i could just quote everything that leaves the mouths of these idiots

-HE TOUCHED THE CROWN!!!!!

-unending breath. air genasi. we finally know all the races, subraces and (where applicable) subclasses for sure... also that was really clever

-opal: “well I can’t be alone” i feel like none of you guys can be left alone...

-holy shit! that map is... cool but probably a nightmare to clean up.

-kansas is in tal’dorei apparently

-so that’s now the second time a warlock pissed their patron off and got their powers taken away... why does this keep happening?

-”she want’s me to appologize but i’m not going to” yep another direct quote from at least one argument between my sister and me

-ASHHOLE?!?

-Inspiration? No Aabria don’t encourage this

-you know. i thought “it can’t be that hard to say ‘fist the ashhole’ with a straight face” but lisa and i have been trying for five minutes now and actually had to give up and rewind because we just can’t... we’re 27... this is the humour of a twelve year old

-”What’s the goal here?” we’re three and a half hours into the episode and NOW you ask?

-she wants to go into the ashhole? this is just cognouza all over again

-INITIATIVE!!!

-hey! dariax finally gets to fight mister!

-mister’s back!!!!

-Dariax no!

-okay, opal making sure that ted is listening just to apologize to mister for throwing a dagger at him is both hillarious and relatable

-come on matt you’ve played this game before you know you should never ask “what did we learn” best case scenario: nothing. worst case scenario (to qoute lisas babarian in our last campaign): we learned what the inside of our monk looks like.

-i wish i could show you guys how exited lisa just got when aabria mentioned this gilmore because honestly there are no words to describe it. like i’ve known her for 20 years and i’ve never seen her this exited about a show before

-opal is definitely gonna get herself killed if she keeps this up. not all NPCs are gonna be this... calm?... i still love her though

Just started Critical Role

Watching/listening to Vox Machina first while I’m working, so I’ll be making this a thread of my general thoughts of each episode. I’ve currently watched through episode 13, so wish me luck on catching up to ~5 years worth of videos. (note, haven’t really had a chance so far to look at anything like comments/descriptions/subtitles, so names may be misspelled.)

General thoughts so far in no particular order:

Pretty good start. You can tell everyone’s having fun. I can certainly see how Matt Mercer got his reputation as a good DM.

“Now you’re speaking Dwarvish.” Alright, I’m sold. Let’s fucking go.

“I have an intelligence of 6, I know what I’m doing.” Yep, sounds about right.

Scanlan just fucking going into the mansion like that is honestly my worst nightmare as a new DM, and you can tell Matt had no fucking plan on anyone making it in there, at least at that point. Handled it pretty well though. Kudos.

Scanlan: “... and a fighter a distant third.” Also Scanlan: Kills a naga chimera thing in an extremely painful way with lightning.

Really liked Kla’Rota. Shame. On the other hand, I kept wondering that if he was an outcast, what guarantee did Vox Machina have that the other Illithid would keep his word?

Keyleth’s little breakdown hurt on the inside and felt really natural. Honestly, I’d be on the same thought process as her, but I wouldn’t have handled it as well as her.

Said “Son of a bitch” out loud when Grog got kidnapped.

Said “Son of a bitch” internally when K’Varn was revealed to be a beholder.

Said “Son of a bitch” internally when Kla’Rota turned on everyone.

Said “Son of a bitch” out loud when Lord and Lady Briarwood got mentioned.

We’re gonna see Percy go ballistic, aren’t we? (Pun entirely intended.)

Had mad Lord of the Ring vibes when they discussed how to deal with the Horn of Orcus.

Honestly, Kima and Grog are a strangely cute ship I didn’t know I wanted now that it’s not being played for laughs.

The words “Wizard Tracksuit” is not a phrase I knew I wanted to hear. Now it is.

I love the people at Greyskull! Matt could do a full session by himself just having all these people interact, and I’d be so happy! But alas, he’s only human, and that would detract from the main cast.

Did not know much about Duergar. Or that they could grow in size. I know better now.

I would very much like to hear more about the good, the rad, and the nubbly in the future, even if it’s only in passing.

I’m honestly really enjoying the series so far. Looking forward to the rest of it!

Wondering what to listen to? :D

Hey there everyone! 

In the past, I’ve mentioned that I’m a huge fan of listening to an audiobook or a podcast while I’m doing something like crafting, cleaning, sorting through project, or other stuff like that.

Well guess what?

Critical Role has a podcast. 

YEP. :D :D :D

I’m still listening to Campaign 1 (which features Vox Machina), but they also have Campaign 2 up! We’re talking literally hundreds and hundreds of hours of audio where a group of nerdy voice-actors play Dungeons and Dragons. I think it’s up on Youtube, too! :D :D 

Originally, when I was looking for where to start, I got a little confused as to which podcast to follow. 

Tip: If you want to start by listening to Campaign One, I believe it was hosted by Geek & Sundry until Critical Role began its own, independent podcast a little later on. Here’s the link I used to find Campaign 1 via Apple Podcast:

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critical-role/id1243705452

(Note: There is a fair amount of language and, shall we say, adult humor in Campaign 1, so be forewarned about encountering that. I knew that going in, and I wanted to make sure I passed along that heads-up to you, too :-)) 

If you want to give it a try, I do recommend you listen to it on a set of headphones. (I found it much easier to concentrate on the story that way, while still being able to do a ton of other stuff. <3

Episode 90: Towards the Iron City, Maybe, Eventually

I'm watching in my living room tonight, with the logic that being closer to the router will make the internet work better

(edit from the future: this actually worked, my roommates are doomed)

"I don't know, man, I like football"

"Gatling gun! Gatling gun!" "MISFIRE SCORE 20"

"ninth level spells!" "that scanlan could have gotten!"

I've been reading Dresden Files again so I keep comparing Mab and the Raven Queen but I am pretty sure they are 0% similar. Vax is not the Winter Knight.

discord: I can't believe keyleth is anime

matt improved that speech
