#beau and caleb

[annemarieyeretzian]

beau shouting “keep up, dirt wizard!” and caleb shouting “coming!” and then catching up to her and saying “you know, I’ve been clean for years.” and beau laughing and saying “it’s still fun to pick on you.” and punching him on the arm

#i really like how caleb assumed that beau was having trouble asking for what she wants directly bc he knows shes struggled with it before#and beaus like NO im going through all this effort of navigating this PAINFUL PAINFUL exchange because we're FRIENDS and CO-CONSPIRATORS#also caleb is honestly mostly lost this ENTIRE conversation as beau keeps trying to force it to work but he keeps listening/re-evaluating#this was a good character moment ok#im also 90% sure that beaus sudden desire for a hug was her happiness at how this conversation went (even though it was a MESS)#beau is literally the only person besides veth that caleb has hugged and the difference in his ease in doing so is Hilarious#caleb when he sees veth: darling halfling former goblin. huggable entity. i wish to hold her.#caleb when he sees beau: h..... hug????? hug. hug??????????? (via @theregoesmylurkerstatus)

Beau: Caleb. My point was why would we even wanna go talk to Vess DeRogna? Beyond us being too busy, she’s like… one of the prime murderous candidates of the Cerberus Assembly.

Caleb: Yeah, we are on the same page.

Beau: I was just asking if you were gonna go take her up on her offer and you were like, ‘well, we’re really busy!’ and I was like ‘THAT’S NOT THE POINT, THOUGH!’

Caleb: Yeah, but Beauregard, we want to at least create the semblance of cooperation. I mean, we don’t trust them, they know that, they don’t trust us, we know that. But if there is even a-a hair of doubt in their minds that perhaps… their Empire, ha, citizens.. feel the need to cooperate or feel allegiance to country-

Beau: Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, no I’m WITH IT, it hit!

Caleb: So keep it hazy!

Beau: Yeah, I was just checking in with you, man. Just wanted to know what the greater plan was, wanted to- how we were going to- DO this.

Caleb: How we are going to turn these peace talks into actual peace?

Beau: Nah, you know what, never mind. Think we’re on the same page.

Caleb: Think so.

Beau: Yeah. 

Beau: …Do you want to go talk to Vess DeRogna today or no? Cause she was like, ‘ah, we’re gonna be here, on this boat, and we got time, if you wanna like come, and talk to me, I’ll be here!’ so I was just WONDERING if that was a plan. But if not, then like, fuck her.

Caleb: No, I think sometime in the next few days, i-it would make sense to try to, again, put out a show of good faith that we are trying to coordinate and also not wait until the day and see what happens, you know.

Beau: Mhm. So what, tomorrow, you wanna do this shit tomorrow?

Caleb: Let’s go tomorrow.

Beau: Alright.

Caleb: If you wanted an escort over to the Cerberus ship, you could have just asked outright.

Beau: I was just loopin’ you in on a potential plan, man.

Caleb: Alright… Man.

So I love this conversation a lot, because it shows so much GROWTH, babey. Caleb and Beau still have trouble not talking past each other. Beau tried to start a conversation, Caleb misunderstood and dismissed her inquiry, Beau went away and thought about it and then several HOURS later came back and tried again.

And they talk past each other again, throughout this conversation! But they frequently course correct, try to guess where the other party has changed paths, and they keep trying. They show each other SO much patience in this conversation, even though that mutual understanding still isn’t there.

These are two people who have decided, over and over again, to give each other the time of day. Caleb and Beau recognise that they are of a kind, and they put in the effort to check in with the other and understand where the other’s head is at. Sure, they could get frustrated and throw their hands in the air and do their own thing, like they used to, but they don’t. Because the other is their collaborator in so many areas, and they know that now.

And it’s really… sweet, the final miscommunication? At the end, Caleb says, “I am happy to do things for you, you only need to ask,” and Beau says, “but I want to do them WITH you.” Neither of them are quite speaking the same language, but they’re still trying to help each other, spend time with each other, no matter how much they fumble the communication. It’s just… really good.

the reason critical role is so good is because every campaign features at least one cast member creating a character that they intend to be doomed by the narrative and matt and the rest of the cast going don’t be an idiot, Our Love Will Undoom Them. like in the explanation of percy’s final playlist, taliesin wrote, “Cheers to a happy ending for a character intended by his creator to be karmically irredeemable. May we all be so fortunate.” and just, Yeah.

A new adventure !

A piece I have worked on on and off since September, to try and push myself out of my comfort zone. A friend of mine kindly and supernaturally mentored me from beginning to the end, and I will be forever grateful.

[annemarieyeretzian]

beau saying “the grumpy one’s right.” and caleb asking “are you talking about [ashton] or me?” and beau gesturing at ashton and saying “obviously he’s the cranky one.” and caleb saying, surprised, “oh, thank you, beauregard.” (bonus: beau adding “you’re aloof.” and jester laughing “no, you’re grumpy.” and veth hollering “you’re perfect!” and fjord saying “indifferent at times.” and beau nodding “indifferent.” and caduceus patting caleb on the shoulder)

[triaelf9]

Surprise! So I had the honor of doing the M9 pre-show trivia art again, and here they are close-up! ^_^

It was a blast working with folks as always and so much fun coming back home to the M9. I hope you all enjoyed the arts!

critical role ships as hozier songs

vax / keyleth : francesca

percy / vex : work song

pike / scanlan : foreigner's god

fjord / jester : nobody

beau / yasha : as it was

caleb / essek : from eden

imogen / laudna : NFWMB

orym / dorian : like real people do

ashton / fearne : dinner & diatribes

specific lyrics that i feel like represent the pairings under the cut!

vax / keyleth : francesca

how could you think, darling, i'd scare so easily?

my life was a storm, since i was born, how could i fear any hurricane?

if i could hold you for a minute, darling, i'd go through it again

it was too soon, when that part of you was ripped away

i would not change it each time, heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i

percy / vex : work song

when my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold dark earth, no grave can hold my body down, i'll crawl home to her

and i was burning up a fever, i didn't care much how long i lived

but i swear, i thought i dreamed her, she never asked me once about the wrong i did

if the lord don't forgive me, i'd still have my baby and my babe would have me

in the low lamplight, i was free, heaven and hell were words to me

pike / scanlan : foreigner's god

she moved with shameless wonder, the perfect creature rarely seen

her eyes look sharp and steady into the empty parts of me

wondering who i copy, mustering some tender charm

breaking if i try conveying, the broken love i make to her

fjord / jester : nobody

i'd be appalled if i saw you ever try to be a saint, i wouldn't fall for someone i thought couldn't misbehave

but i've had no love like your love from nobody

if i had the choice between hearing either noise, the excitement of a thousand, or the soothing of your voice

and on the other side, why should we deny the truth? we could have less to worry about, honey, i won't lie to you

beau / yasha : as it was

and in a few days i will be there, love, whatever here that's left of me is yours, just as it was

the lights were as bright as my baby, but your love was unmoved

tell me if, somehow, some of it remains, how long you would wait for me and how long i've been away

the shape that i'm in now, your shape in the doorway, make your good love known to me or just tell me about your day

and the nights were as dark as my baby, and half as beautiful too

caleb / essek : from eden

there's something tragic about you, something so magic about you, don't you agree?

honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago

innocence died screaming, honey, ask me, i should know

there's something broken about this, but i might be hoping about this

a rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree

imogen / laudna : NFWMB

give your heart and soul to charity, cause the rest of you, the best of you, honey, belongs to me

ain't it a gentle sound, the rolling in the graves?

if i was born as a blackthorn tree, i'd wanna be felled by you, held by you, fuel the pyre of your enemies

ain't it the life of you, your lightning of the blaze?

orym / dorian : like real people do

i will not ask you where you came from, i will not ask and neither should you

i know that look, dear, eyes always seeking, was there in someone that dug long ago

honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips, we should just kiss like real people do

ashton / fearne : dinner & diatribes

i knew well from our first hookup, the look of mischief in your eyes

your friends are a fate that befell me, hell is the talking type, i'd suffer hell if you'd tell me what you'd do to me tonight

honey, i laugh when it sinks in, a pillar i am, upright

now that the evening is slowing, now that the end's in sight, honey, it's easier knowing what you'd do to me tonight

oh, let there be hotel complaints and grievances raised and that kind of love

[nervouswrecktm]

the dynamic names in critical role are so good and funny

for beau and caleb you have the empire siblings because they are both children of the empire who seek to right the wrongs of the place they were born and the systems they were placed into and who have become found siblings after struggling to understand each other for so long

for beau and fjord it is brjeaus because they are bros™️ and their names are spelt stupidly
