The look shared between Liam and Ashley when Aabria describes the interior of Gilmore's Glorious Goods,
I saw that look, and it made my heart just, 'mmm,' a little bit.

"And not for the first time, and not for the last, question why I'm here. And wonder, again if it would've been better if I'd stayed. Wonder what it is I'm waiting for exactly." [EXU Ep 7 27:50]
This specific phrasing is so interesting--Orym's been gone from home for so long, but the fact that he's apparently continually questioning his choice to leave and the statement that he feels he's "waiting for" something make me wonder what specifically drove him to leave in the first place. I think i always assumed it was mostly grief and the difficulty being in a place Will had been so integral to with him now gone, potentially combined with a tiny sliver of revenge quest depending on if the idea of looking for the assassins had crossed his mind at all before he was given further info just prior to cr3, but primarily with the intent of him getting away, not with the intent of him looking for something. But these questions he's asking make it seem more like he left with a goal, searching for something. It's more like the words of someone who's experienced a loss of purpose or identity and has gone out onto the world to try to rediscover those things, which makes me wonder if the triggering factor was also related to his role as a guard. In Zephyra he and the other guards were almost entirely ineffective at combatting the assassins, and while Keyleth herself was ok the attack resulted in many of the guard dying, with the enemy escaping. I wonder if it's more of a "journey to find yourself again after something traumatic" than a "leaving the site of your traumatic experience because you can't face the memories;" with Orym grieving Will and trying to learn how to exist without him, and also to reckon with and reassess his identity as a protector which is so so integral to who he is.
#critical role#idk if this makes sense but this statement just made me go OH#this is a very different flavor of 'i left home for 5 years' than i realized#i do also think this version fits better with what we know of his character#aabria has a bit of narration in the next few min that i think also supports this frame of mind for orym#hes /looking/ for something#cr exu#exu rewatch

Underrated trait?? When the players describe something they want to do or what their characters are thinking or feeling or ask for a specific moment to occur (dice gods permitting) and Aabria thinks for a moment and just softling, lovingly, fondly says "...yeah" and then goes on to produce the most magnificent description known to mankind.
#critical role#exandria unlimited#candela obscura#aabria iyengar#rewatching exu and finishing this ce episode and i love it so much when she does this#i wish i was composed enough in my own games so i can do that too

i guess it’s supposed to be canon that jace failed taking levels in wizard because it was too much work or he’s just not smart, which is fine i guess, haha very funny but have we considered the narrative parallels if it was actually because jace was (and still is, on a teacher’s salary? lbr) a broke bitch who couldn’t afford barrels of diamonds much like adaine??? have we considered that jace is a struggling artist turned grade school teacher because he didn’t have the money to invest in higher education? this man took online courses at his local community college and still somehow is buried under student loans. of course he went evil.
#jace stardiamond#i just need to know why every choice made in canon regarding jace and porter were the most boring possible takes on them imaginable#brennan you are better#i just rewatched exu calamity where was that energy here?#petition for asmodeus to be the main villain of senior year#like literally the same guy from calamity he does some multiverse dimension hopping bs to leave exandria to terrorize spyre

no but the betrayer gods being cast the furthest and the darkest down into the consciousness of their world’s existence because they were the first amongst their family to defend themselves
#cr lb#exu downfall#rewatching calamity and it’s just asmodeus’ pure hatred that these inferior* Things Separated them from their Family#and it’s like yes these being are evil* but are they? how are they? they stood up First and said Stop. First.#and it’s like that emotional response is so very very human it’s a shame the betrayers have no outlet in their mortals#because is it not so very mortal to see someone you Love in Pain and going. No. I Will Stop This. No Matter How I End Up.#love makes a monster of us all and all that and it’s like#the conflict is so integral to exandria’s existence it’s just. a tragedy. and delcious#prime deities acting so very Betrayer* but they develop out of That* and it’s like#my beloved You what was the very difference that I should be on this side of the world and You on the other

So, I was somewhat aware, in some part of my brain, that the in-game time that passes in EXU Calamity is basically a day and a night, right? Like, less than twenty four hours? But I had a kind of weird realization last night (and looked it up on Beacon to confirm) and the total runtime of all four episodes is around 19 hours and 34 minutes. So you could say that the series practically occurs in real time... I don’t know why, but that’s kind of wild to me.

i actually do have more zerxus tlovm thoughts, specifically how zerxus talking to pike parallels asmodeus talking to zerxus in some really interesting ways, but that's gonna be a lengthy post that involves me watching the episode again and pulling some exu calamity quotes so. keep an eye out for that this weekend probably
#tlovm spoilers#tlovm#critical role#exu calamity#had a couple thoughts immediately and I think I'll have more on a rewatch.#plus sooo much calamity dialogue lives in my brain forever#so the connections just sort of. appear.

thinking about the calamity thing of (too lazy to get the exact quote but) “the love was there and it mattered but it didn’t change anything” + laudna and what feels like her more or less resigning herself to the power of love not being enough to stop ludinus
#i wonder if that’s something marisha has thought about at all#i need to rewatch calamity#critical role#cr spoilers#cr laudna#imogen temult#exu calamity#c3e96#ludinus da'leth
