#Honestly. It's often also super like shipping oriented this subset of fans as well in a way where EVERYTHING is reframed into the ship.

#This post is NOT about anyone following me.#I am quickly hurtling toward#'I'm wary of those super into Kingsley who exclusively refer to him as King the way I am wary of Caduceus stans who call him only Caddy'#Like. The nickname is TOTALLY fine actually! And I think most people who use it are normal.#But then I'm quickly noticing a trend—and this existed ever since the finale when Kingsley was introduced and is NOT new but is growing—#where a very specific sort of stan with a VERY specific type of super weird interpretation#tends to refer to him (Kingsley; Caduceus; either) EXCLUSIVELY using the nickname in a way that has a very specific vibe.#And it's hard to explain bc it isn't ONLY using the shortening of the name. There's like a VIBE about it.#Anyway this specific type of stan (again only a small minority of stans) tend to think everything should revolve around that character.#I've seen a lot of commentary from these kinds of stans that think Caduceus NEEDED to be in this two-shot to solve Fjord's problem#and during C2 also often went 'let Caddy punch Uk'otoa for Fjord!' and would be weird about people going Fjord should solve Fjord's problem#And I'm currently seeing a developing handful of similar (again MASSIVE minority of overall stans) for Kingsley#who hope for things from part 2 that refocuses the entire episode around Kingsley (and they do acknowledge this and want that to happen).#Honestly. It's often also super like shipping oriented this subset of fans as well in a way where EVERYTHING is reframed into the ship.#But like. Off limited observation in the fandom and just anecdotal evidence.#It feels there's correlation between these specific type of weird stan and a tendency to use exclusively a nickname that's otherwise fun#and a nickname that is otherwise even sometimes used by the characters.#Like. Again. Not talking about anyone reading this post.#And it's got an additional sort of VIBE to it yanno? Like it's exclusively using the nickname + sort of energy.#I can't explain it. But like it's not JUST using the nickname. An energy. An aura. A je ne sais quoi.#There's using it in a Vibe™ that turns out 98% of the time? OP thinks even other character's narratives should be about this character.#It's like. I promise you that Caleb's entire arc is not about Kingsley (or Molly) and Fjord's arc is not about Caduceus.#And it feels like people who make me MOST often think that to myself seem to use ONLY 'King' or 'Caddy' in a specific vibe. Anecdotally.#Critical Role things#CR
