Any predictions on how many time I’m going to want to say “what the fuck” this combat?

Fourteen things I noted about CR2E84 “Titles and Tattoos” and the Talks Machina about it :

Last episode of Talks, Matt talked about bringing Tharizdun in the background, and the recuring themes of hunger and insanity, and said that Marisha did pick up very early on the "hungry" theme. So I am overjoyed that in game, Beau is having the time of her life connecting the dots, between the nergalid who went crazy hungry, the not-regular gnolls, and later strange events of the rifts opening.

Matt : "It's good to have a Marisha in every party." A-fucking-MEN ! Her notes seems amazing. She drew a cat to remember that Oremid Hass liked Frumpkin !! Come on !!

I love Yussa talking shit about the members of the Assembly : Ludinus is dangerous, Jenna seems distracted, and Trent "is just creepy" (fair).

Sam the comedic genius, always ready to physically act, as Nott is silenced by Caduceus and Beau steals the gem from her hands, and he acts out her anger. Beautiful, I laughed so much.

Yussa is like "oh, Halas can only re-enter his body, huh ? WELL it would be a shame IF" and just proceeds to burn the body, he is so great.

Beau, about Jester being 'fucking ripped' in the words of Matt, as she is getting her tatoo half-naked except from the sash : "I try to make it not seem like I'm checking her out." BEAU YOU USELESS LESBIAN.

holy shit their tatoo designs are amazing

Caduceus' perspective on destiny and faith, with a nice plant metaphor, is amazing. I love this cow-man.

Beau and Nott confinding in each other : it started as a joke, but Beau quickly realized she was actually confinding in Nott that she doesn't know why her immediate thought was to lie, and that she's trying to be better at being honest. Alos I love that Taliesin was like "Can we make a therapist class ?". Because that's FCG's thing in Campaign 3 !! Did Sam had the idea at this epiosde ??

I like how they are honest with Oremid Hass (Caduceus is proud), and already have learn that it is Ludinus that is very interested in the beacons, and so it's probably him that has the one they're looking for. Big risk, reward.

Matt is gonna murder his players if they keep asking him who's on the Tal'Dorei council.

WHAT THE FUCK THEY ARE UNDER ATTACK POOR CADUCEUS what a cliffhanger oh my god

Laura and Travis are on Talks and they are just disgustingly in love (affectionate). At one point, they take 5 minutes to check on Ronin going to bed on the baby cam, and it is so cute.

I can't remember any good answers (though there was one about Jester and her feelings about seeing people trapped and lonely that was very good) because after Brain straight-up left while Laura was stealing his camera and his job, they're ending the episode vibrating their lips and laughing at how it looks on camera. This is so much chaos.

Pumat Sol: What was that?

[fjord-mustang]

The M9, no matter how much heroism they do from now until the end of the campaign, will always arrive without any warning and leave the same way.

[epicureanstyle]

I gotta say, I’m reaching unparalleled love of the new earnest and honest Fjord? I feel really validated in struggling to like or relate to the character for most of the campaign because...unlike Beau or Caleb (and sometimes Nott), but like Jester (and sometimes Nott), Fjord’s mask is too good. Beau or Caleb have an outer shell designed to protect themselves, but it’s not opaque. Everyone can see it’s there. Fjord and Jester (and sometimes Nott) are pretending to be okay.

Fjord hid everything important to understanding him! Because being understood would have been a failure! Because to be popular and well-liked is to be perpetually misunderstood, is to put on a mask, is to become someone who people will actually want around- no wonder he and Jester clicked so fast. Jester saw that, even if he wouldn’t let her see anything else.

But now we don’t have that. We have a Beau who, unprompted, confides in Nott because she sees Fjord and Jester confiding in each other...Caleb, who wants to talk over fish and chips! About his feelings! With his friends!

Fjord, who talks about failing with Caleb as an act of- affection, love, trust. Faith and trust, in his friends. Jester gets to say- this is how I feel, and it’s not bubbly and happy and pretty and perfect but it’s real, and can I please have this chance to do what I want? And Fjord says yes, of course. Beau doesn’t have to fear being herself anymore, and everyone around her sees her for who she is and respects her. Caleb- Caleb gets to say, no, I don’t want to play chicken with the Cerberus Assembly as some form of exposure therapy because that might literally kill me, actually I get to decide how to face this. Fjord doesn’t have to worry about bullies anymore, and he gets people who like him for him.

Critical Role Campaign 2, Episode 84: Titles and Tattoos

Okay I'm catching up slowly but surely, and I'm still in the middle of the episode, but I just had to say that when Beau was looking through the tarot cards and explaining to Orly how she wanted the same All Seeing Eye in the nape of her neck just like Molly...I got goosebumps and almost started crying man my god dang heart ahhhhh

[dreamsrunfaster]

Catching up on episode 84 of CR2 and i just..."lets go role-play fish and chips so I can ask searching semi-sceptic questions about religion" liam really CANT HELP IT all his characters are tortured agnostics

[jillybean-6]

My big question for episode 83/84 is what big fancy event were Allura and Kima at? A gala with important people from Tal'Dorei in attendance? A ball in Whitestone perhaps? A very important question I need answered

[irregulargnoll]

Fjord: I’m a good talker

Fjord: what’re we doing here again? books? yeah, definitely books. it’s always books.

[justalittlebluetiefling]

I’m a little curious about how many people are taking their idea of how the gods in Exandria work from Caduceus and his divine relationship 

without really taking into consideration that this is purely Cad’s experience and Taliesin has mentioned that Caduceus only thinks he knows everything. Cad’s experience is the exception and not the rule.

Can we just talk about how masterfully Matthew has weaved this world together

[fjord-mustang]

I love that the girls are the most likely to start bar fights, get tattoos, and being generally rowdy.

The boys are most likely to sit out of these situations and talk about life and the mysteries of the universe.
