Trying to rewatch Critrole C1 again when I can... currently in the beginning of the Briarwoods arc...

I love CR and pretty much everything they put out but I have never felt so deeply connected to any of the characters as much as I am for Vox Machina... I don't know if it's because they were so cemented in their characters already before the live stream so it carried so much weight, history, and connection for the cast and that was obvious, or if it's just the rawness of being a brand new thing at the time and figuring shit out as they go, probably a combination of both, but I have not been able to connect to their characters from any campaign on the same level that I feel for C1. Not even the animated series makes me feel the same, but I still enjoy it.

I see a lot of people who started with C2 instead of C1 feel the same way for the Mighty Nein as I do for Vox Machina, so I'm wondering if maybe just whoever the characters are whenever you first fall in love with the show is the characters you just always feel eternally connected to... I also have seen people who started with C2 saying that just can't get into C1 which hurts my heart 🥲

Actually the only time I felt as connected to a campaign as I do for C1 was EXU Calamity and I have a love/hate relationship with it being so short lol love it for its rewatchability but hate it for not getting to spend more time in that world with those characters 😩

He is in a 1/3rd angle facing the left and looking to the right. There are a lot of vivid harsh lines as highlights, and white triangles and dots making up random patterns around them. Ashton’s nose is bloody with the same color as the background and they have multiple piercings on their face and ears. End ID]

[foxhopfics]

Hey! I'm Nathaniel/Spiral/Fox and i write things sometimes!

You can find me @/spiralsystem on Ao3!

This blog will mainly be posting requests, as my main fics that I'm working on will be posted directly to archive, however I'll still post finished fics here!

For x reader requests I will likely use the pronoun "you" over "they" (I just think it's fun)

HOW TO SEND A REQUEST: please send the pairing you want, any tropes or whatever (not obligatory), and pick from one of 3:

- Headcanons: a quick page of headcanon points

- Drabble: quick blurb between 200-500 words

- Short fic: 1000-3000 words

Please don't be shy with requests!

IMPORTANT NOTE: IF YOU DON'T SPECIFY WHAT TYPE OF FIC U WANT, I CANNOT WRITE IT FOR YOU.

Request types I will take:

X GN!Reader

X Male!reader

X Trans!reader

Character x character

Main fandoms I'll currently write for:

Baldur's Gate 3

911/911 Lone Star

Dishonored

More about my writing under the cut so this doesn't get super long :)

Views on shit for writing: I reaaallly don't subscribe to the whole concept of proship/antiship. I take requests on what I'm comfortable writing.

I DO accept nsfw requests, but only within appropriate age ranges. I am comfortable writing age gaps but please dm me and i'll write something on a different site, same with any other typically "taboo" requests. I will not release a "will not/will write" list because that's just inviting problems.

If you'd like nsfw x a minor!character, please specify in the ask if you are also a minor. If there is no age, I will deny the request. I won't write underage smut for adults. I also probably won't push it past an M rating.

Minors I write for:

ProSeka: Honestly realistically most of these characters are minors, but like we don't all know teenagers aren't celibate. Vocaloids don't canonically have ages but since they're all kinda minor-coded, I'll just stick to M max for proseka.

Genshin - Qiqi and Klee, Sayu, and Yaoyao. Diona is NOT a minor, she runs a bar 🙄. Bennett/razor/fischl/anybody who uses the "teen model" I consider 18 at least.

Ace attorney - pearl, trucy. If you want ema I'll write her as her older self unless specified, sorry.

9-1-1: I'll write any of the kids as a side accessory to their parents, unless you want a Gen piece about the kids. I love writing Chris & Denny :)

Dc: Ages are played with a lot in DC, so any characters that are generally accepted as minors/adults will be treated as such. I.e: Damian Wayne, Jon kent will be treated as kids unless you specify a universe where they're older (like when Older!Jon came to that one Earth)

BALDUR'S GATE 3:

The ONLY characters I won't write for this are LAE'ZEL and MINTHARA:

Minthara: killed her and saved the tieflings. No real interest in having her as a companion so I haven't seen any content with her.

Lae'zel: get back to me when she doesn't excuse slaughtering and colonizing entire towns lol. I'm native and the gith creche slaughtering the entire temple of lathander (as. As a cleric of lathander also) and she was like 🤷‍♂️ we live here now. I was not cool with that. I also really don't know how to write a romance for someone who is constantly combative towards the player.

BSD: I can only write for the ADA characters + aktugawa because. I have only seen season 1 :,) sorry

Muses & character's I'm great at writing for:

Bg3: Tav, Wyll

911: Eddie, TK

Dishonored: Corvo, Outsider (and Garett from Thief 2014)

Ace Attorney: Edgeworth, Klavier, Apollo, Clay, Simon, Diego

Vocaloid/Proseka: Len, VFlower, GUMI, Shiho, Toya, Mafuyu, Mizuki

Critrole: Percy, Vax, Caleb, Jester

DC: batfam, superfam, flashs & rogues gallery, teen titans, young justice

JJK: Gojo, Nanami, Itadori, Inumaki, Fushiguro

Genshin: Diluc, Zhongli, Alhaitham & Kaveh (and 4ggravate), Traveler twins, Pantalone, Wriothesley

AFTG: Neil, Aaron, Jean

I FOUND WHERE TUMBLR PUTS MY MENTIONS NOW

Tag game

tagged by @tatchling

Favorite color: Red, purple, black, orange.

Last movie: The last thing I *remember* was Unico because I found a DVD of it and streamed it for friends because CHILDHOOD.

Currently watching: CritRole Campaign 1. Things I intend to look up are Digimon Ghost Game, Scavenger's Reign, actually watching my Robotech DVD's, and Mononoke (hi I'm B E H I N D).

Other things I watched this year: Legend of Vox Machina, still way behind on Star Trek Discovery, BNHA, the new Dune.

Shows I dropped this year: Imma level with you: I've been shit at watching things. I've done way more gaming.

Currently reading: Chemo/immunotherapy medication inserts + related search rabbit holes; trying to work on Young Wizards and just got a Humble Bundle of ALL OF DISCWORLD. I've still got some of Sherlock Holmes to finish. OH and Dinosaur Sanctuary which is amazing!

Currently listening to: Writing playlist for one of my OC works; right now it's on Nemesis by VNV Nation, Paradise (What About Us) by Within Temptation, Hyena by KMFDM, Knights of Cydonia by Muse. Also Bones from Imagine Dragons has been stuck in my head off and on.

Currently working on: Getting back to writing after a too-long hiatus due to life stresses + recovering from working in a hospital during the worst of the pandemic. Knitting a blanket, some painting attempts, getting back to making jewelry, and getting settled at a new job at a Cancer Center/Infusion clinic.

Also working on the permits etc. for the hummingbird banding site and hopefully getting those together BEFORE the last minute in March when we're supposed to start.

Current obsession(s): FFXIV is retaking its Real Estate, Project Moon, CritRole, Remedy games/Control, I am likely to rewatch VLD as a comfort series at some point. Hummingbirds and medicine shit. (Did you know a LOT of modern Chemo is mRNA immunotherapy? Also that 'Naturopathic Oncologist' is a cursed phrase that should be fucking illegal.)

Tagging. Uh. @mikiri , @rockclanhawkstar (HI RANDOM MUTUAL WHY NOT), @trishacollins

Omg i read your percy stuffing/burping fic

i was curious if you would ever write something like that for Vax one day or just a little blurb your writing is so fucking good🫶🏽💞����

thank you so much!!! i'm super flattered, and it's nice to hear someone enjoyed sth that's kinda niche... i am rlly fond of that fic and alas don't get a lot of feedback on it bc it's a less common kink, so it warmed my cold dead heart to get this ask.

unforch i'm not rlly in the critrole fandom any more, and also uhhhh. ngl i have written sweet fuck all for months now because my muses have abandoned me i guess. so probably no fic.

i also, fsr, always associate vax w hiccups rather than burps. like he just seems like such a skinny little twig of a thing.... but i suppose maybe a little too much ale, or a bit too much food / something that didn't sit well in his stomach, and he's slouched in his chair all bird-bones and a little bloated belly and trying to discretely muffle things behind his hand all pink-cheeked and unhappy-tummied.... cute.

critrole really missed a trick with the ‘mighty nein reunited’ series like the opportunity for ‘reuneinted’ was right there

Face 2021 with the courage of a Lionett

2020 was a rough year, I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoyed the escape some nerdy ass voice actors gave us, so here’s my tribute to a character who meant a lot to me this past year ~ Keep Poppin' Beau

[maskeddevera]

Caleb: Canonically ogles Wulf’s muscles, not to mention that I think evidence points to them being involved in the past.

Caduceus: Continues to be one of the best characters ever, but I’m 99% sure he is asexual and not interested at all in Eadwulf and all of the rest of men that fandom keeps shipping him with.

Fandom: Caduceus x Eadwulf!

Me: Caleb x Eadwulf is right there, folks. Right there!

(I mean, I don’t really ship it, but if I was going to ship Eadwulf with someone, it would be Caleb.)
