okay “you lied” fucking killed me just like i knew it would but i think the thing that exemplifies why critical role is so enjoyable is bc you can tell (even before ashley says it at the end) that the rest of the cast members were just as enthralled as i was the entire time and it’s just

this is their home game, a thing that started as a birthday present and became a fun thing to do with friends once a month and now it’s this giant, monetized, theatrical, audience-aware thing and it could so easily have become their “job” but they still love it, they love this game, and it’s evident in everything they do. the childlike wonder on the players’ faces when matt describes something breathtakingly beautiful, the exclamations of glee and amazement when matt brings out an airship piece for the battle, the wide-eyed enrapture in their faces when they get a front-row seat to a heart-wrenching bit of roleplay

it’s just so so apparent in everything they do that they love doing this and it makes it so thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
