Some possible ideas for Jester's nude portrait of Fjord

Now, obviously Fjord's portrait would be much girthier and larger 😉, but I think my vision is clear

(the paintings are as followed: Nude Study of Thomas E. McKeller by John Singer Sargent // Automedon with the Horses of Achilles by Henri Regnault // Nu Masculino by Théodore Géricault // The Wrath of Achilles by François-Léon Benouville // Triumphant Athlete by Franseco Hayez // Hector's Body by Jacques-Louis David // Male-Nude, with Arms Up-Stretched by William Etty)

Caduceus: I made tea.

Nott: I don’t want tea.

Caduceus: I did not make tea for you. This is my tea.

Nott: Then why are you telling me?

Caduceus: It is a conversation starter.

Nott: That’s a lousy conversation starter!

Caduceus: Oh, is it? We are conversing. Checkmate.

I am not into CR that much, not anymore.

I wasn't into CR1 as much and I haven't finished it (mostly bc production quality), I genuinely didn't like CR3, but CR2????

BRuhhhh when I tell you CR2 increased how much of a fucking nerd I am. I miss CR2 every day. I loved those fucks. I don't find that energy in cr anymore, but I'm watching the animated show and waiting patiently for the animated show of CR2.

Fandom, @jjloa and I would like to propose a new addition to the cinnamon roll meme.

Secret third option: Looks like they could kill you: would kill you unless they decide you are family and then they will kill for you.

Prime examples of this secret third option that we can currently think of:

Eliot Spencer from Leverage

Lucanis from Dragon’s Age

Yasha from the Might Nein

It’s assassin meets mom friend energy.

There's nothing about Critical Role that annoys me more than when one of Taliesin's characters utters the words "I have a plan", "I have a thought", or "I have a theory"

Haha so my copy of Nine Eyes of Lucien is covered in cheese. The cover is fine so you can't tell but like... How random is it for your copy of a book to be covered in CHEESE

[twyla19]

I'm about to go to bed, however! I have a habit of sleeping with youtube videos on in the background, and right now, it has been campaign two of Critical Role. There is something I should actually be watching, but I am in the 70-80 episode range and have no clue what actually has gone down.

I have only been able to sit and fully watch campaign 1. I'm super behind in both C2 and C3, and I have found some comfort falling asleep to it. I don't mind spoilers since I am behind, but sometimes I just want to watch things go down. Especially those episodes that have lore from C1, like Keyleth's mom or the current characters, meeting the players' old characters or more lore. It's really fun, but it's hard to keep up.

MCM is a rather hectic place in general, let alone when you're at a meet. Let alone yet again when you're at the absolutely massive Meet for the UK Critters. But you know what? With their powers combined @cos_lottie and @space_lich_, with help of other very talented Critter wranglers too, kept everything going and made for an amazing time!

IMOGEN & LAUDNA ORIGINS

--------------------------------------------------

A story of two complete strangers and the strong bond that blossoms between them!

--------------------------------------------------

The next morning, at dawn, Imogen and Laudna are walking on the docks. Their stuff packed up and ready to go. They even managed to get a quick breakfast at the Inn, before heading out.

It doesn’t take long for them to spot the Nein Heroez, docked at the end of second the pier. Not seeing anybody immediately on deck, the ladies decide to walk on-board. “Uhm, hello?!” Laudna asks somewhat loudly. “Imogen and Laudna here!” Before they can take another step, a sudden outburst takes them by surprise. “STOP THERE! OR I’LL CUT YOU!” A tiefling boy jumps out in front of them, with a wooden sword in one hand and a matching wooden shield in the other. “Oh Gods!” Imogen blurts out. Getting a better look at him he definitely has the classic tiefling features; a set of curling horns and a pointed devils tail, but glancing over his face there’s also a set of small tusks starting to grow. His skin is has a green to dark blueish green color, with pathces of a blue skin over his face and tail in a vitiligo-like pattern. “Micka! C’mere! I’m sorry, my son gets his excitability from his mother.” Fjord walks out from below deck. “Oh no worries, I’m good with kids. Whaa!” Laudna flashes her clawed hands and putting on, what to hear feels like a ‘playful’ scary face. In reality it’s more of a very toned down version of her form of dread, but without the black tears streaming from her eyes. The boy, now known as Micka, instantly stiffens before running off screaming. “Too much?” “Maybe a bit.. we’ll work on it.” Imogen lays a hand on Laudna’s shoulder assuringly. “Yeah, alright. I’m sorry.” “No worries, he’ll be alright. Please, follow me I’ll show you around.” Fjord leads the ladies around the deck, down below deck and finally shows them to the guest quarters.

After dropping their stuff in their shared cabin, Imogen and Laudna head up to the mess area where they meet the crew. Orly, a male tortle, the navigator on the ship. Next up is Darius, a male half-elf, he is a sailor and helps out wherever he can. The carpenter on board is Gallan, a human male. Last but surely not least, a purple skinned tiefling, also a sailor and helping out wherever he can. And of course the captain and his wife, Fjord and Jester have joined along with their son.

“So where are you both from? Did you travel far to Marshvale?” Jester starts off conversation. “Oh not to far, we came from Gelvaan. I met Imogen there.” Laudna immediately engages, excited to meet new friends. “So you’re from here, you’re from Marquet?” Fjord also joins. “I’m not, Imogen is. What about you guys? Where did you travel from?” Laudna returns the question. “We came from The Menagerie Coast in Wildemount.” “So you’re from a completely different continent.” Imogen states, amazed by the adventurous lifestyle these folks seem to have. “Uhuh, have you ever been?” “Oh no, this is the first time I had ever left my home town.” “Really? You two look like travelling folk.” “Well, we’ve been at it for a couple of months now.."

Finishing their lunch, Fjord heads up together with some of the crew getting ready to depart. Leaving the ladies, with Jester and Gallan talking in the mess. Jester is telling them all about how they have a shipping company called 'Stone's Throw' and are now traveling all over Exandria to get their name out there. When suddenly about two-thirds of the way there, the ship suddenly comes to a stop with a thud. Followed shortly after by Fjord’s voice yelling out. “WE’RE UNDER ATTACK!” The sound of the wood creaking slightly fills the room. Immediately Jester makes her way up to the main deck, with Laudna and Imogen rushing after her. Gallan stays behind keeping a close eye on the hull from the inside, ready to repair as soon as possible. Outside they’re met with eight giant snakeheads creeping up from around underneath the ship, four on either side. “Oh shit! What is that?” Laudna exclaims completely taken aback by this unfamiliar creature. “It’s a Snektopus! Watch out for the heads, they're poisonous!” Fjors replies as he takes out a longsword made from some sort of blue crystal material. “Good to know!” Imogen nods, before focusing her attention on the nearest snake head. “Get away from us!” She screams out to it in a whisper. The head shakes in pain for a moment, taking a bit to collect itself. Laudna turns to a head on the other side of the ship. Laudna speaks a word of incantation as this aura of black energy surrounds the snake head closest to the front of the ship. She reaches out her hand, as a beam of smokey black crackling energy erupts from it and hits that same head. While all this is happening Kingsley and Orly have started making their way to the cannons and loaded them ready to fire. Fjord and Jester share a look before Jester speaks some words under her breath and a massive spectral lollypop appears right next to the snake head Imogen had attacked earlier, smacking it straight across its face. “Agh, poop!” She exclaims when the head is still up and slithering, but just barely. “Well take this!” And she reaches out her hand, releasing a burst of pink flame-like radiance. With that, the scorching remains of the head sinks back down into the water below, sizzling on surface impact. Fjord steps closer to the head right in front of him. “Galas’var.“ He speaks a word of incantation, making the sword glow a blue light. Before he slashes into the head aiming for the eyes, making it slither back as one of its eyes is completely slashed through. Fjord resets his position and goes in for another swipe with his sword, but the one remaining eye catches it and the head moves out of the way and the word gets stuck into the railing of the ship. “Ah shit!” He tries pulling it free, but there’s no budge. As he looks up the snake head lunges forward, but with only one eye its aim is off. Further back on the ship on of the heads lunges towards Laudna, taking her shoulder and biting down. “Argh!” She cries out in pain, as the veins around the wounds take on this dark green almost black color underneath the skin. “Laudna!” Imogen instantly yells out, when she hears the painful scream from her friend. 

Imogen hits the head that just bit Laudna with a beam of purple crackling energy. Taking it out instantly. Laudna, stumbling on her feet, hits the one still surrounded by the black smokey aura with another bolt of energy, taking it out as well. With the cannons now loaded, both Orly and Kingley shoot at the still undamaged heads. One of them goes wide, hitting the water behind it, but the other hits blowing it straight off of its tentacle neck. The spectral lollipop floats toward the last snake on Jester and Imogen’s side of the ship, and razor-sharp blades pop out of the side all around like a chainsaw. It cleaves into the base of the head, cutting a big chunk out of it. Jester follows the attack with a bolt of radiant energy making the head burst out with a light radiance from within. One head left, the one that’s facing Fjord. He pulls his sword free from the wood and aims first for the other eye. Leaving a slashing mark across the eyelid, but not through the eyes yet. Another slash, cutting right through its throat. The head slides off and into the water, and with a thud from below the ship seems to be free to move again. “Laudna!” Imogen immediately rushes over to her friend, catching as she stumbles on her feet. With blood gushing out of the big bite marks left by the snake and poisoned veins surrounding the wounds. “Imogen.. I’m not feeling so well..” Laudna cries out in a whisper. “Can somebody help?! Do you have any healers on board?” Imogen calls out to Fjord and Jester who are running over. “Yes, I can help.” Jester lays her hand on Laudna's shoulder, a soft pink glow emanating as the bite wounds heal up fully. The glow fades, before emanating out again. The poisoned veins returned to their usual undead color. “That feels a lot better, thank you.” Laudna stands up somewhat straighter, still leaning on Imogen just s bit for some extra support. “Oh, no problem that’s what I do, 'cause I’m a cleric!” Jester states, sharing a look with Fjord. Who lays a hand on her shoulder proudly. “I should go check on Micka.” And Jester heads below deck. “How far is it to Garven?” Imogen walks up to Fjord, who’s taken his position behind the helm. “Not too far, maybe a few hours at most.” He replies, picking up the pace again. Imogen nods, looking around for Laudna.

The sun has started to set into the open sea to their left. Laudna is standing in the back of the ship on the poop deck, looking over the water behind them. “Hi.” Imogen quickly walks up. “Hey.” Laudna smiles, stepping aside to make space for Imogen. “Are you feeling alright?” She asks, leaning over the wooden railing. “I’m good. It’s funny actually, I’ve never really been close to.. death ever since.. well you know. But I wasn’t scared, not at all.” Laudna explains. “Well, I was. I thought I was gonna lose you, Laudna.” Imogen looks over at her. “That day I saw those townsfolk attacking you, I saw myself in you. And I didn’t want that, not for you, not for myself, not for anybody.” A smile forms on Laudna’s face upon hearing Imogen’s words. “No one had ever done anything like that for me. I will never forget what you did, and I will always be grateful for it.” Imogen leans in closer embracing Laudna in a sideways hug. Laudna turns to face Imogen, wrapping her arms around Imogen’s neck in response and pulling her in tighter. As they pull away their eyes lock for a moment before Laudna instinctively leans in again. A shiver of surprise and emotion runs through Imogen when their lips meet in a gentle kiss. It takes a second for her to lean in as well, but she does. Her hands find their way to the sides of Laudna’s face and hold her there gently, letting Laudna’s strange version of warmth engulf her.
