~ CR catch-up update ~

so much so I'll just kind of go in order. first things first, is it really pronounced gaysh? because if so I was not aware of that. I can't believe they lost Zathuda because they were staging a stupid play. peak D&D. love that with the return of Sam comes the return of the stupid t-shirts.

!!!BRAIUS FUCKS NANA MORRI!!! Sam Riegel you are so back.

and last but not least, let me live out my pet dragon fantasy vicariously through Fearne Matthew Mercer! sad gloamglut = sad me.

108/116 (for the next 7.5 hours before the new ep drops, rip)

"sorry, I've been watching a lot of chimp stuff."

[mindovermuses]

Wouldn't it be funny if Asmodeus isn't the Arch Heart's collaborator and Braius just spilled the beans on their secret plan to undermine their Prime siblings to the King of the Hells?

I'm sure Asmodeus would NEVER use such knowledge to sow immeasurable discord between the Primes as they realize one (or more) of them is actively betraying their agreed upon plans.

I mean, that would make them ALL a bit paranoid and perhaps a bit... trigger happy in regards to kicking off the Calamity 2.0

I mean, why would Asmodeus EVER want to cause the deaths of so many mortals again? Last time was only 75% of the world's population when they were united and somewhat using restraint. This time would TOTALLY be different, I'm sure.

They're still in the Feywild of course, outside of the Divine Gate that hinders the gods powers on the Material Plane of Exandria. And, as we just saw, even in Nana's fane, they're easily reached by the gods. I'm sure Braius won't wake up with a funky colored eye and facial marking while seeming just a bit less charismatic than usual.

The Arch Heart is just the deity of arcane magic and THE FEY... it's not like his curses would potentially be magnified on this plane, right?

I'm sure this is all FINE! Absolutely nothing to worry about...

Continuing my catch-up of campaign 3 and…

Sorrowlord Zathuda…

I NEED more disasterhot mlmxwlw solidarity from Imogen and Dorian!!! I love em!

Need Dorian to pull Imogen aside next ep(112) to panic and tell her about admitting his feelings to orym and cuddling, or just sharing abt his inexperience or sm

like parallels to the brjeaus and jesteryasha freaking out abt fjester and beauyasha kiss/date moment

Imogen and Dorian were not having a good time watching the loom

[ariadne-mouse]

This trio of "sidled up to-" conversations is SO funny

laudna and orym: hard choices are hard

ashton and fearne: we're not okay and that's okay

imogen and dorian: we threw up

[septembermonologues]

"your gut does not cut it" fucking thank you, orym. just because the arch heart was honest does not mean they're right and maybe we should talk to any other gods who apparently want to talk to you before we lean into what a bored god is kicking around.

this is ten times funnier knowing bor'dor is a ruby vanguard and he was just told to babysit someone his boss hates LMAO. zathuda just cannot win lately shjsdjsk.

[toaarcan]

I feel like Braius' contact from Asmodeus kinda closes the book on whether letting Predathos out is a good idea or not.

The other gods might run. If they do, Predathos will follow. That's what the Tree of Atrophy said, that's what the Arch Heart says, it's what Ashton and Dorian want, and the others are questioning.

Asmodeus intends to stay.

And he was a big question mark before. The idea has been suggested that, in letting Predathos out, and forcing the gods to flee, Asmodeus would be getting what he wanted: His family back, and mortals abandoned. Surely, the Betrayers would happily abandon Exandria with the rest of the family.

Except no. It looks like his hatred for mortals is stronger than his love for his family, which... well, we kinda guessed that after Calamity and Downfall. He's going to hide away in his Hell, and when Predathos has chased everyone else away, with no Gate to protect the world from them, he will be the only one left, safe to emerge as the one true god of Exandria.

Fairly obviously, that's really, really bad.

"They carve a hole in you. They just dig. They leave this pit, and you spend years wandering below in the dark, looking for them, searching for any sign of them. If you're lucky, you eventually figure out they're not down there, they're the ones who threw you in in the first place. I'm very sorry."

- Ashton, the Abandoned Child of the Hishari, to Lady Fearne Calloway as they look at the tapestry of Sorrowlord Zathuda, episode 108

imogen: how many times do i have to tell you cow man, im a LESBIAN

[pocketgalaxies]

when you want to be there for your friend who just lost her dad but your friend wants to watch the corpse get torn apart by a magic loom for some reason

[sparring-spirals]

as an aside, every bit of information i get about the most recent cr episode from my dash is equal parts concerning, hilarious, and beautifully on brand for what i remember of bell's hells. it gives me comfort. i say this sincerely. as long as im out of the loop. and even beyond that. i never want that to change.

Critical Role vs. the English Language

[ariadne-mouse]

Genuinely this is such a funny way for Zathuda to go. Bell's Hells could have killed him in the first battle - which he was also on the cusp of escaping from - and they didn't. Instead he had to watch them perform a horrifically bad Shakespeare In The Park with a Ludinus impersonator, try to escape a second time, and then they kill him and it's mostly by accident.

[septembermonologues]

zathuda's transformation goes crazy
