#like PLEASE END MY SUFFERING

[shellem15]

Can I just say, I really appreciate how Critical Role plays the Devil trope straight. There's been this phenomena in a lot of modern media (I'm not going to mention specifics but I'm sure a few examples pop up in people's minds) where Hell and the Devil aren't scary or malevolent forces. Hell is portrayed as being basically the same as our world just "edgier", and the Devil is a pretty decent guy actually. Heaven are secretly the real bad guys!

But Critical Role doesn't do that. In Exandria, Asmodeus *feels* like the Devil. He's malevolent and manipulative and terrifyingly powerful and he hates you, personally. We never see that type of portrayal anymore! And it's amazing! And he still manages to be sympathetic and tragic without losing his edge!

And the "Good Gods" are portrayed as flawed without being secretly evil or something! Like, actual nuance? In my Heaven/Hell dichotomy? What!?

It's just such a breath of fresh air after so many "The Devil was right, actually" stories. So props to Matt and Brennan and the cast.

shipping chart thoughts

(billford always happens and they always break up. ford was obsessed when bill was his muse, then bill is obsessed after they’re no longer together and he realizes what he lost) (this dynamic is just canon, really)

(fiddauthor is always present at some point but in one route they end up together after canon events, and in another route fidd moves on) (it’s possible that they had a thing in college but consider it “typical college experimentation” because it’s the 70s and denial is strong. they still go through canon events)

(fiddlestan only happens during the fiddlestan route. otherwise canon events stay the same and they barely actually interact with each other. in the fiddlestan route they work together in the 80s and grow old together)

(billstan isn’t really romantic but it is a one-sided obsession. bill just can’t stop obsessing over the stans… for very different reasons…) (dare i say an unrequited kismesis dynamic?)

(ford and stan are brothers. that’s it. leave them out of the shipping dynamics.)

(fiddlebill isn’t really included here but i feel like the only way this would happen is if bill was possessing ford and wanted to fuck with fidd by using his crush on ford against him) (this one’s basically only possible if it’s fiddauthor-adjacent)

a little morning pick-me-up

-

A morning on the way to Baldur's Gate. The party booked themselves into an inn and enjoyed real beds, hot baths, and privacy for the first time since the Nautiloid.

Gale and Mayhew shared a room, of course. They were filled with the relief of surviving the shadows and the glow of finally getting together, so their private room was probably a blessing for the whole party, honestly.

This was some ascended anatomy practice! Referenced some great stock from @null-entity.

I am: Heartbroken…

[bilolli]

I finally finished and edited it! This time there shouldn’t be problems with sizes and messed up colors.

Anyway, this scene lives rent free in my head and I HAD to draw it.

Solar Lunacy belongs to the talented @bamsara​ , (seriously, it’s a wonderfull fanfic, read it.)

Process GIF and variants under the cut!

On PC this one looks better, but on my phone it’s wayyyy to saturated and dark. Ujsdbidfshf I hate screens differences.

[rivsneedstostfu]

I can't explain the emotional connection between a girl and this miserable owl...

Now this is my "all because I liked a boy" favourite character, lol.

[minniiaa]

Law, recovering after the Blackbeard fight reaching for his hat instinctually to hide his face because he doesn’t want anyone to see just how broken he is, only to grasp at air.

Law, wanting nothing but to go home, but there’s no home to go back to.

Law, who worked so hard to protect his friends, sending them away when he went to Punk Hazard to begin his suicide mission, only for his friends to protect him, not hesitating to give up their lives to make sure he can live to continue his dream.

Law, who had to find a new purpose after Strawhat helped him avenge Cora, having that purpose stolen away from him, feeling lost and hopeless.

Law, who couldn’t even be called a pirate anymore without his ship and his crew.

Law, who has no idea why he’s always the one to live.

Law, realizing that once again he lost everything, too weak to even keep a goddamn hat from being stolen away from him.

Law, who wonders what he ever did to deserve such a cruel fate.

Law, who despite it all, is still alive and must do something with his life to make sure all their deaths weren’t in vain.

[hetalian-veteran]

Okay, but if Hetalia doesn't eventually end with Italy and Germany going through a mini-arc about them realizing Germany is HRE and then having to deal with the emotional turmoil of this revelation, ultimately culminating in them realizing how they feel about one another and then ending the series with them getting married then I SWEAR I WILL RIOT!!!!!

[take-it-to-my-gravee]

I want to make one thing perfectly clear..

I have not killed myself yet because i cannot stand the thought of inconveniencing anyone… and im so pissed about it…

[agathasblackheart]

Just realized we didn’t get one final “te veo” from Rio because she knew she would never see Agatha again
