#CR:1x03

[ainulindaelynn]

I finished the series I’ve been watching while cooking recently (there’s a lot of cooking in my life these days and I need a distraction), so I finally started watching Critical Role, Campaign 1.

The end of session 3, finding Clarota, is killing me. The SONG… The FOOT TAPPING. This is why I love DnD so much. Wtf is happening XD

1x03

part 1

obvi CR is very beautiful, the artists did a great job, but I'm intrigued by the date in the corner. does 'Xuan Zheng' refer to the emperor? according tobqjj, that's how they keep ttack of years. I was under the impression this wetting didn't have one. has one ever been mentioned?

anyway this is flahback-era. ylung and bright wwx. he even breaths differently

also I like the font they use. it suits the setting

NO JYL?! bullshit, man...

there has GOT to be a better translation for that. even "brother". 'bro' is FAR too informal. I KNOW they weren't calling each other bro!!!

god damn...they look real.silly with their big ol eyes

everything hurts

after seeing the drama it's kind of weird that there's only two of them. like you'd think one of the great clans would send a whole delegation

sure this is likely a biased account, and we know wwx works hard as a disciple and is mistreated by myu in LP...but god thia sounds like such a carefree life. oh to be living like a wastrel in lotus pier...

nhs's little warning abt lwj to wwx always sounded a little silly. sure I bet he's scary to the other kids but he IS still a 15 yr old boy

this rooftop scene is a lot more casual than the drama. like the drama aimed for maximum romance in every single flashback scene because it wouldn't have explicit get-together scenes, but the donghua stuck closer to the novel and leaned on implication and its looser censorship allowances for its finale

I don't dislike this rooftop scene, it's lind of nice to have more lighthearted moments, but I kind of miss the gravitas. not that the fight scene wasn't good tho

drawing these cute little illustrations for his heretical concepts...aww

wwx is so fucking smart he answered all those questions perfectly then only didn't answer the last bc he was thinking up an entirely new method nobody had ever tried before. 15 years old. unparalleled genius 🩷🩷🩷

ft. jc's despair 😭

its handy how the subs offer short translation notes. sure must make things easier for ppl new to the genre

this imagery of being underwater talking abt resentful wnergy will come back. this is a good show

okay it's 2:30 I'm crashing lol

Soooooo... Phoebe needs a spell against shapeshifters. That’s the spell Grams gives her. Did she try to kill Victor?

Piper in Thank You for Not Morphing

Continuing the rewatching, and pointing Piper's evolution.

Her path to be more assertive took another step. When Prue decided for them that Victor was a threat and they shouldn't dine with him, Piper tries to argue against her, but doesn't go very far and gives up.

But later, someone tried to take the Book, there's a serious danger around, Prue's got more ammunition to be careful, and yet, this time, Piper decides what she'll do.

I said in the precedent episode that Piper had a better control on her power that she believes, and I maintain it with this episode.

The time between the moment she freezes the cake and the moment she takes it is shorter than when she froze the kitchen. And once again, the timing is perfect. Her unconscious already knows how the off button works.
