Beau: “Question: If you were a crazy, ravenous, dog humanoid person thing, what would make you really hungry all of a sudden? […] You know who else was really hungry out of fucking nowhere? Big angry toad man. Devil toad guy.”

Beau/Marisha clocked the overarching theme/bad guy on episode *SIX* and won’t find out she was right for like 3 years

I do wonder about nott referring to gems as "rocks that humans wear on their fingers and around their necks and stuff" obviously veth would know what jewelry is so was she just fucking around? was she trying to endear them to her by making them laugh? did she think she'd seem more sympathetic if she wasn't aware that she was taking something valuable? was she acting dumb to throw off suspicion?

C2e2:

Caleb *pointing at Beau and Fjord*: “Oh, I’m sorry, do you two not know each other super well? You seem like you do.”

Beau: “Oh we got a good 24-48 hours on the rest of you.-”

Fjord: “Yeah, we’re not super deep.”

Cut to C3e121:

Fjord: “Beau’s going to be my best man” *trying to win over who gets Beau on the Fjordjester wedding*

Fjord *Ending up with only Beau at his side and the rest of the nein on Jester’s*: “Fuck ‘em” *fist bump’s Beau*

Brjeaus for life, just a Captain and his First Mate

Thinking about her

!! Spoiler for Peeps who don't know the majority of the M9 Campaign Events !!

I'm sorry, but Molly saying to Toya at the start of the episode that Kyle had something bad inside him, something that made him do bad things and couldn't help it. . .

And I can't help but be reminded of how Molly rises again, way down the line through no intention of his own, and isn't quite Molly no more. . . Someone who does many really, really bad things ;u;

When we get to the episode where Jester defaces the shrine of the Platinum Dragon, I would like everyone to remember that that is now, canonically, Liam.

Random things i love established at e1 from c2

- Travis within minutes of Sam playing Nott already says he loves her (which is why i love Fjord x Veth as a duo not necessarily romantic but any interaction from them is complete gold)

- B: “Yasha Yasha” thus Beauyasha is born (bonus Yasha being the worst hypeman ever)

- Y: “Do you want to stare at me all day, or do you want to give me the weapon so you can go watch the show?” Fj: “That’s an interesting choice.” Y: “It’s not really a choice.” Fj: “sure”*pulls out his falchion* Y:*swings falchion around* Fj: ”Don’t hurt yourself”/ one: fjord trying to vandran charm his way out by barking out the wrong tree kk two: everyone repeating the word falchion with fjords accent kkk

- Y: “Mollymauk. That Jester’s adorable” M: “I know. Highly entertained” Y: “i like her”/ pretty much everyone in the nein(or that has met jester) has a little crush on her (also polynein is the most possible party polycule, everyone has had a crush on everyone pretty much and is canonically polyamorous)

- Beau calling Jester superstitious for having her cards read by Molly (boy those lore drops sure add up since day 1 one huh) Also Beau saying she doesn’t like the jail

-Yasha literally going away for the first time right after the first battle

- C: *laughs awkwardly*”good luck at the academy, that’s rough i hear” Understatement of the century, also Fjord being all excited Caleb knew about it and had magic *vibrates in widofjord excitement*

- M: “… i can read fortunes-“ J: “I was gonna ask if you can read fortunes! Can you do one now?” M: “I knew you were going to ask that.” J: “oh my gosh, You’re So Smart. Look at this guy, He Knows Everything!” / (J: “Think of Molly, He was So Smart!” “MOLLY KNEW THINGS! MOLLY KNEW THINGS!”) / J: “Do you know my name?” M: “What is your name?” J: “Jester.” M: “I know your name now!” / Truly one of the best character intros of all time, his and Jester intros, tbh why I’ve rewatched the first episode so many times even without rewatching the whole thing, all of the nein have perfect intros, it’s just a banger from the start

- B: “Oh yeah. Sorry for being a pessimistic asshole, by the way, when we first came into town.- I’m not used to things turning out good” / B: *to Fjord* “We’re supposed to at least say that, right? And then still accept it, right?” B: *still to Fjord* “… It’s rude not to accept a gift, right?”*to the man giving them the money*”It’s rude not to accept a gift, right?” / AKA Beau is autistic y’all are sleeping on it, she’s also just an asshole, most of her and Fjord’s relationship is him teaching her social cues, please y’all im begging with nein again going on, listen to my informed opinion as an autistic “asshole” lesbian, the amount of unintentional times I’ve been “rude” or “an asshole” to then lead me to intentionally be “rude” or “brash” cause at least it’s “not a surprise” is insane

Laura as Jester: does anyone want any donuts

Mollymauk: I would like a donut

Caleb: I would like one too please

Laura as Laura, hands around her plate: I would like to clarify that I have only one real donut and I am not offering that to you. That is for me.

[ruvi-muffin]

Can we Talk About how when Jester told Nott to up the ante when gambling in ep 1, Nott's first reaction was "I FOLD"

Now look at her go: master gambler, cheater and wealthy pvp enthusiast

I am so proud of her ♡

It's looking like there's a growing divide between Campaign watchers and Tlovm watchers in terms of like. We're here for the characters. 12-episode seasons aren't. They can't be. I'm already making peace with everything we'll lose in the Mighty Nein show, and I know I will enjoy it for what it is but I also know that almost nothing that made the story so special will translate to the screen, because turning it into a show automatically means (in this day and age) that plot must be the number one priority. They've already come out and told us it's going to be different, the characters we know and love but new stories.

Because that's how this has to work. And I feel bad for campaign one lovers, because while it is certainly the easier of the two to translate to a big, overarching story, even though it's a more "traditional" high fantasy story with easier archetypal characters, the archetypes and the plot aren't what cemented most people's love for the campaign. So much of the love for critical role is stored in the interpersonal dynamics and the payoff that comes from hundreds of hours of tiny interactions that one day become cornerstones of development and even affect or dictate the plot.

There's no room for that. There's no room for Bard's Lament in a story that cannot afford to remove and replace a main character. A lot of tlovm is for people who have been here for all of campaign one. Most of it, however, isn't. It's for a new crowd. While CR may have creative control, you can bet your ass that there were months and years devoted to figuring out how to map a character-focused love of the show into a plot that hits the right beats to be viable in the show market.

And it worked. Tlovm has consistently high viewing numbers, and its popularity has brought and will continue to bring new people into the universe who have never interacted with CR previously. That's not a bad thing - imagine finishing your favorite show and discovering it has another FIVE HUNDRED HOURS of the equivalent of behind the scenes content. That's incredible for these newcomers. But man, it is in many ways a loss for us.
