Holy shit the cast making up the acapella song for Keyleths interpretive dance on the spot is definitely one of my favourite moments

[annemarieyeretzian]

keyleth telling vax “it’s fitting, really. you can protect that plane. I’ll be here to protect this one.” and crying as she adds “death isn’t the end. I just don’t want to forget.” 💔

[catrollsdice]

The whole cast being adorably supportive of Keyleth’s interpretive dance is friend goals.

Me: *smacks post-return Scanlan upside the head*

Me: This bad boy can fit so much insecurity in it

vex said do i look like i come from money and percy said i've known a lot of people with money and they are definitely not worth you. keyleth said i can name a few people who wouldn't love me and vax said no one of worth.

travis is the best part of this video and here's why

he was already mid-snack grab when vecna showed up. does he put the peanuts back? no, he commits

the slow hand-to-hand transfer during matt's description

"VECNA?!?!?!?! HOLY SHIT!!!! I HAVE TO DRAW MY WEAPON BUT I HAVE PEANUTS IN MY HAND!!! FUCK IT I'LL JUST THROW THEM IN MY MOUTH WHILE SCREAMING AND HOPE I DON'T DIE!!!!!"

terrified chewing

"oh shit fuck balls,"

Fun DM tip: have the final villain of a five-year campaign casually wander up in the middle of an unrelated conversation.

Matt: "Essentially, you guys are gravity-bonging your way through an underwater volcano. If that's not Vox Machina, I don't know what is"

Liam: "We're going to try to water-bong every combat scenario for the rest of the campaign"

This comes right after and because Grog has the best idea wtf is this episode.

Also the a cappella interpretative dance leadership speech? This all sounds like I used a random word generator but no.

[annemarieyeretzian]

keyleth stating “even if we found a way, you wouldn’t take it. to reverse the deal.” and vax telling her “I don’t want to leave, but there are some things that I will not test. I do have faith in her. and I have faith in you.”

[annemarieyeretzian]

vax apologizing to keyleth “I am sorry, and I regret that I’m not outright dead already and that you have to stare at this walking pantomime of a life in front of you, but kiki, I’m grateful for the time I have left to look on you, and I am grateful to fight for your future. and I’m grateful for that chance you took on me.”

yep! not sure if you're aware or not but sam's had a running gag since the start of campaign 2 of wearing his shirts in the exact same order as he did for campaign 1, including halloween costumes (hence the return of the moustache in c2e25 and the hotis costume in c2e65), and he tries his best to coordinate his outfits for special events like talks panels at cons too! (critrolestats has a page dedicated to mapping it)

the episode numbers don't exactly line up because of liveshows (where his outfits are original) and episodes sam couldn't make it, but this week should have been his green shirt from c1e107 (last week he wore the blue stripes, the week before (excluding the liveshow) was vacation sam, and so on), but as it's the 5 year anniversary he's paused the pattern for a week to wear the shirt he wore for the first episodes of both campaigns!

tl;dr: sam is fucking committed

❤️ Happy Five Years ❤️

keyleth telling vax “I was angry. I was very angry. and maybe if we had this conversation yesterday, even, I might be yelling that right now. but it’s hard to be angry at bravery and selflessness.”

[annemarieyeretzian]

suddenly I am overwhelmed by the simultaneously beautiful and heartbreaking parallel between vax and keyleth, both serving others for the rest of their prolonged lives

[annemarieyeretzian]

vax closing the door to his and keyleth’s room, saying “I don’t think we should go another couple days in silence.” and keyleth asking “has it been days?” and vax answering “just barely.” and keyleth saying “feels like an eternity.” and vax saying “I know that you are angry and I am just – I’m sorry.”

[nott-gay]

This episode has 116 vibes in that I do not understand how this room looks like at all

Matt has a map and everything and I’m still ???

[nott-gay]

“I’m being racisted against?” Gnome racism... idk why I find that funny but I do

Also Vex standing up for Scanlan, thank you queen, you continue to be the only bitch in here I trust

the twins: *flipping vecna off*

keyleth: *thinks the twins are super cool*
