#critrole2

[tunedtostatic]

I am a recovering martial class snob (lightheartedly, of course, as in "I'm glad you love arcane casters So I Don't Have To") - fighters, rogues, and rangers always felt much more compelling to me than bards and wizards. (I instinctively consider rangers one of the martial classes and what I'm getting around to talking about is why). The critrole2 wizards were of course a big part of what finally demolished my neutral lack of interest, since I was around people talking about caster mechanics in fandom for the first time.

I was talking about this with a friend and ended up talking about how like...casters' abilities in d&d represent an array of mechanical and storytelling options within the layout of the game and I respected players who kept track of All That but it never really grabbed me. Martial classes abstracted into game mechanics real world skillsets with history and weight behind them (Cool Swords, unarmed combat, wildland tracking). They had my heart easily because of that extra weight.

Thing is, within d&d phb/Forgotten Realms-adjacent settings, magic IS a skillset with history and weight behind it in-world. It's just that it's the one without a direct real world counterpart. As my friend put it, casters almost have a higher buy-in threshold (at least for people like us who think "how are swords forged" high fantasy sidequests are a feature not a bug). Getting into the cr2 funky wizards fandom very quickly made me look at somatic and material and verbal components and go OHHHH this too is a craft!! and the rest is history.

Ok so for one I completly agree with everyone saying that Caduceus and his siblings probably treated each other like shit, cause me and my little brother fight and argue about anything and everything we can find time to argue about but on the flip side we also have this like "defend the sibling/only i can say or do that to my sibling" mechanism that kicks in whenever someone else tries to mess with the other so like while I really want to like see Cad fucking deck the first sibling he sees I also want to see the Clay siblings have that small "if you blink you'll miss it" bond and dynamic that like only siblings that have been forced to grow quickly together and apart have (i say it like this because me and my brother are military family kids and we learned to be independent alot quicker than othet kids our age and, while sometimes we hated each other's guts, learned to trust the other almost explicitly to have your back in rough situations).

taliesin said he was using the uhh, aquarian tarot, idr on which talks but, he said something abt it being one of his favorites

and taking that into account + mollys tattoos im. hmmm. thinking emoji.

the star tarot (with heavy vibes of hope after disaster, a shining light to follow, very much what molly strives to be with his happiness and bullshit)

this deck also has flowers on Nearly every single card, as well as triangles in a lot of the designs which was Another thing mentioned abt his tattoos

(and i, personally, think that at least one of the flowers on him was the one that shows up in the death tarot flag, which i dont really think i need to explain wrt how it connects to molly)

and heres the aquarian tarot one, a bit cut off bc thats just what the cards like

there are snakes in the wheel of fortune card, which is a card about change (cyclical to be exact, very life and death, very molly)

anyway!!! just some stuff i think is neat, maybe somethin to think about, especially since we dont really know exactly Why he chose those tattoos, only that he did it to conceal the marks he woke up with

i think tarot probably heavily influenced mollys design, if not molly as a character

K I didn’t know almost all of these things, and I’m appreciating how fucking amazing this intro is. And Laura and Ashley’s voices are so amazing, I can’t even.
