#i started watching cr abridged and it’s cool

“Laudna came through my town a couple years back and we hit it off real well and decided to start traveling together” i can’t believe Imogen explained this in the first episode and people still refused to ship them JUST IN CASE they were sisters or cousins or aunt and niece or something

[burr-ell]

as someone with only a passing knowledge of cr your posts/reblogs about Imogen make her sound like an extremely interesting character but also someone who's like. not allowed to be?? in both fanon and lowkey her romance.

kinda makes me interested in watching cr more to get a full grasp... is it necessary to watch all three seasons to watch season 3? i think i remember 1 & 2 not being completely connected like that but i might be remembering wrong 😭

Haha, glad you're interested! So I would say, as someone who had only watched C1 and not C2 before I started C3, I think it's honestly fairly simple to follow. Part of this being an actual play show is that the DM is very much aware that both players and audience will have forgotten some details, so there are rarely moments that are just dropped on you without any context provided. While you won't necessarily have the emotional connections to certain things, I think you'll get enough of a gist to understand; most of the real Lore™ is original to the campaign.

Now if you want to get some background for the other two campaigns, The Legend of Vox Machina is still ongoing but is a solid adaptation of C1, and the Crit Recap Animated shorts are super-abridged recaps that cover C2 (and the animation is really cute). If there's anything you're not sure about, Encyclopedia Exandria is a good wiki resource, as long as you're cool with spoilers. But again—no homework necessary! CR is generally pretty good at working with the fact that every campaign is someone's first.

tell us about your crush👀

I Knew This Was Coming. [i’ll put it under a read more so y’all aren’t grossed out that i have a cr*sh on a wh*te m*n (i know i’m really disappointed in myself too)]

also this is super long bc. what can i say. he’s just lovely and i’m really glad!!! he’s my friend despite the fact i kinda like him sodfnjdjldc and it doesn’t feel like i’ve only known him like? 2 months? (technically bc he’s my friends coworker and i’ve know OF him for over a year) it feels like longer and yeah!!! he’s a good wh*te man (i know i’m shocked they exist too)

hmm okay sdinjfdsnc yeah he’s a white man yeah i’m DISAPPOINTED [bc we all know what white men are like] but he’s just so. nice. and cute. he’s a massive nerd and i have a type i can’t HELP IT... he’s great idk what to say sdonjjldvc like even if this crush fades/goes un-reciprocated i’m SO happy bc? i’ve found another amazing person i get to be friends with? like i think that’s just Neat

also don’t be mad at me he’s older than me (5 years) i know that’s not a massive age difference but in some respects it is? like his life experience compared to mine???? good lord. (like... he was married he’s divorced now obvs and he’s opened up a little about it) but despite this we do get along pretty well (even though he’s a leo) and we have a few shared interests and our senses of humour match up well which is cool!!!

okay so i haven’t actually had a crush on ANYONE (like properly/irl) since i was a teenager like age 18... so i’ve spent a good chunk of time denying i like him. that’s ended well.

i won’t say his name dfjnfcsk i’m nervous but let’s refer to him as H. okay so. H is my best friends coworker so i’ve known OF him for about a year now? and i already knew how nice he was etc. and in january my best friend was saying i should follow his instagram (as a joke) and i was like hey sure why not!!! (in hindsight probably a terrible mistake bc initially i accidentally watched his story... he told my best friend... kinda weird... but yeah!) so i followed him and he knew about me etc. and i introduced myself and i think we really hit it off? like we spoke a bit here and there but the last... 2-3 weeks? we’ve gotten a LOT closer and it’s wild bc it takes a lot for me to get close to anyone...

so yeah last 2-3 weeks i’ve talked to H pretty much every day? and i’ve actually really opened up to him about a few things (which i feel bad about doing bc i know i’m a lot and have a lot of trauma etc) but he’s just been... so kind to me. like unbelievably kind. and he’s slowly opening up to me which is pretty cool too. i’ll tell y’all why he’s great dofnjofdndnc dw!!!

it’s nice bc he admits whilst he cannot relate to certain things i’ve dealt with (for example things i experience as a woman) he acknowledges that he has those privileges but says that i can tell him as much or as little as i want [whatever i feel comfortable with] and he’s... just nice about it. you know when sometimes u tell someone something u can tell they don’t rly... care. or understand or try to understand. yeah he’s not like that at all. which i’m shocked about too.

speaking of being comfortable - he always reassures me and makes sure i’m okay and will ask if i’m okay sharing things etc. or like the other day i think... (well i know) it was getting a little... like too flirty for me and i said i was feeling a it flustered and he was like it’s okay we can stop!! which is WONDERFUL???

like i guess so much has happened idk where to start??? other than saying that he’s one of the kindest guys i’ve ever met. very respectful, a great listener, he has a really cute/adorable personality (he’s admitted himself he gets shy and flustered like!!!!! how fucking cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)... uhh what else. he tells me i’m cute and adorable a lot dsjnfjdnfd idk man. i’m not great at describing people dsjocnjefodkd. hmm he’s super easy to talk to and makes me feel super comfortable and doesn’t make me feel pressured in any way. he’s also completely non-judgemental. (like... i may have told him i’m a bisexual virgin who’s never been in a relationship. and he wasn’t weirded out by it. at all. which a lot of people are)

i also have told him some abridged stories of a few things that have happened to me and he admits he doesn’t know what to say but will offer to cheer me up? he doesn’t be all ‘oh forget about it’ or be like ‘oh i can fix that’ sorta thing... which i really appreciate? like. he acknowledges some bad things have occurred in my life. but then he will go out of his way to reassure me that i’m a good person?

we’ve had a couple of soppy moments dwfjnjkefnkdm like he’s told me he enjoys talking to me, that i make him laugh and smile etc... one time a couple weeks ago he messaged me asking if he could ask for some ‘cheering up’ bc he was feeling down and said that i make him feel better i’m :(

like i know i’m being more open than he is but he’s slowly getting there he’s kinda shy in some respects. but he is truly so lovely i just wanna protect him dfjonjfldfc (he’s also said the same to me)

and he’s just so sweet and genuine with everything he says and i just. like him sfojvnjefck can’t explain why. it’s the personality that always gets me dfonfenfekmdd

it fucking ssssssssuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkssssssssssssss though because we live basically on opposite sides of the country which is. terrible dfonc;kfmdlc

we also have a few inside jokes now which is rly cute fdsojvnjfdkd and he’s said about hugs which is !!!! so cute

not only this. but he sends me pictures/videos of his mum’s dogs whenever he goes to visit her. what more. can a girl ask for.

and he’s super cool bc i decided to watch and catch up on all the marvel movies - and he let me spam his messages whilst watching with my reactions fdjnfndfm

i’m literally. whew. he’s great. even just as a friend. but i do l*ke him a bit... and he’s admitted... to flirting with me a little which is a foreign concept to me.

i don’t rly know what else to say dsnjjdkdm like??? he’s just so sweet and kind and i’m so grateful he’s my friend y’know? and it’s really nice being able to open up to someone and have them listen and just try to show you some kindness... he’s so sweet to me and has told me countless times i’m lovely and nice i just!!!! oh my heart!!!!!! he’s a good person :(
