You're telling me I'm the same height as Vex

Which means I'm at the perfect height to put my face in Percy’s tits

You and me both anon

alstroemeria, chapter 5

uh, hey guys!! it's been... two years since i posted chapter 4!! i am so sorry for neglecting this fic. i haven't been posting much in a while but oh my god. i wrote this chapter as part of a writing sprint and forgot that i actually finished it?? lmao?? i'm in the middle of finals but i wanted a boost of serotonin. it's not heavily edited beyond a generous beta read from @blorbologist but it's content!! this prompt was suggested by @essayofthoughts :D

title: for a gift

rating: general but with vex-typical strong language

word count: 1.8k

genre: fluff, gift giving, pre-relationship, whatever the precursor to pining is

(no spoilers for TLOVM fans, but it's set in campaign canon and characterizations)

Vex twists and dances through the packed marketplace while reading the list in her hand, muttering words to herself as she tries to make out everyone’s handwriting. Vax’s is easy and familiar, and Keyleth’s is fairly standard if a bit curlier around the edges, but that’s about where simplicity ends. Pike’s handwriting would be perfectly legible if it weren’t so neatly tucked away into a corner, small as her gnomish hand. Scanlan, for some ungodly reason, insists on writing in full-flourishes where flourishes aren’t even necessary; and Percy writes exactly as nobly as his posh accent would suggest.

(Vex has experience with handwriting courses, of course, and has penmanship to match any elven diplomat, but only in elvish. She’d focused so hard on outpacing the full-bloods who thought she never could that she’d neglected her common penmanship. Not that any of it’s been useful, anyhow.)

And, well. Grog can’t write. Most of the list items she assumes are his are tacked on to the end of most everyone else’s lists.

Help, it's again.

Time to rewrite this introduction post cause a few things have changed :V

Hey there fellow Critters! My name is Rose, and this is my Critical Role sideblog. (they/he pronouns)

About me: I'm a queer artist with a lot of free time, but not enough functioning braincells to use it properly.

I like to draw/paint, play videogames, worldbuild, tend to my OCs, daydream to music - all that good stuff.

My timezone is Central European Standard Time. Most of the time I'm somewhat nocturnal, especially in the days surrounding new CR episodes, but my sleep schedule also flips around a ton and might differ from day to day.

This is my sideblog, risingroleakira, mainly for Critical Role content and discussions of adjacent series. This includes Candela Obscura and MIDST. For my artwork, visit my art blog, risingroseart ...and maybe drop some reblogs while you're there! (This blog also includes my critical role art. I don't update it very often however, so alternatively visit my Artfol - also not perfectly up-to-date but definitely better) For my very messy main blog, where I mostly just reblog random stuff, visit risingroseakira.

Critical Role related info:

When did I start watching?

I caught the first half of C3E1 as it aired, then had to stop watching and take a break for a while due to external life stuff. A couple months later I binged the rest of that and all the other episodes that had aired since then.

What campaigns/series have I watched?

Finished or up-to-date: > Critical Role C3 as it airs > 4-Sided Dive as it airs > EXU:Calamity > EXU:Kymal > Candela Obscura Arc 1 - Circle of the Vassal and the Veil > MIDST Season 1 Work in Progress: > Watched Campaign 1's original version of the Briarwood Arc, as I cannot watch TLOVM due to the visual violence that I can't stomach. > After several attempts over the past few years, I finally have a successful attempt at C2. I haven't finished yet, and I've very much slowed down (or rather, stopped for a bit and am now slowly progressing again), but as of writing, I'm all the way up to C2E128.

Will be watching as it airs: > Candela Obscura Arc 2 - Circle of the Needle and the Thread > MIDST Season 2

Current favorite player characters? (spoilers ahead for the stuff I've watched)

> Ashton and Orym. I love all of the hells, so they're all included in this list, but out of all of them these two are easily at the top. There is strength, but there is pain; there is pain, but there is strength. Like vines, we grow together.

> Caleb. I don't think there's too much to say here, we all love him. Easily my favorite of the Nein, no question.

> Fjord and Caduceus The former the only bitch (/aff) I actually have merch for, the latter an aroace icon hehe. I love them both

> Dorian. It's 🎶been a while🎶since we've seen him, but as most of us do I miss the blue boy. At the start of C3 he was my favorite of the Bells Hells, and now I just miss him so much. > ..Most of the Bells Hells party, really. Between the lot of them it shifts around frequently. Ashton and Orym are pretty much constantly at the top, but it's generally almost the whole group that I love. >Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski De Rolo III. that was from memory, i refuse to not use his full name lol Look, I may not know most of C1, but the Briarwood arc, his design and what we saw of him in C3 were enough. I like that bastard too much to not put him here > Cerrit Agrupnin. I love the entire EXU: Calamity party, but Cerrit is easily my favorite. The Brass Ring endures.

> August/Auggie and Charlotte The Vassal and the Veil and these two in particular mean so much to me

Current favorite NPCs?

Lord Eshteross in C3 was at the top for a long time. Imahara Joe and Captain Xandis are also high up, and I love Milo so much,,, and NPC-Keyleth, obviously. In terms of C2, well, who doesn't enjoy Pumat (plural). I also quite like Yussa. But, of course, the blorbo of the NPCs is Essek

Favorite characters to draw or paint?

Ashton, hands down. I haven't really gotten to draw a lot of characters from CR other than Ashton and FCG, but like. come on. How can you not love drawing the nonbinary punk rock. How can you not enjoy painting their colorful gem and crystal hair and golden cracks and funky eyes and- Anyway that's my introduction post! I’d love to meet some fellow critters - especially newbies that love the Bells Hells as well, seeing as I’m a bit anxious in these types of long-lasting fandoms and therefore more comfy with people who are also a bit new to everything. Still - feel free to say hi whether new or old fan of cr! :]

If you watch the Pixelist Podcast, I'm on their discord every Thursday and during other CR related streams, chatting in the CR text chats. Feel free to say hi there!!

so this is technically writing for flufftober, since i’m using the day 1 prompt, but i kinda just wrote this for fun lol. i love sweatshirt thievery in fics, and i saw that “wearing each other’s clothes” was the first flufftober prompt, and just... spontaneously decided to write it. at midnight. all fueled by procrastination, of course, because it’s me. long story short, i’m not really doing flufftober, but i might write for a few prompts anyway, we’ll see

It’s been a long day.

Thursdays are the worst part of Percy’s schedule this semester - four classes, the first at eight in the morning, the last ending at three-thirty, and one of those being a three-hour lab - and each week the day seems to stretch on even longer than before. His practically empty Friday makes up for it in terms of time to do classwork and other things, but not in terms of overall exhaustion. His horrible sleep schedule on normal days doesn’t help much, and some Thursdays drain him to the point of actually considering going to bed before midnight.

This is one of those days. And, to top it all off, it’s bloody freezing - even by his standards, and given how farther north Whitestone than Emon, that’s saying something - and the distance to the apartment from his classes is just short enough that any public transport is unnecessary, but just long enough to be uncomfortable when there’s a biting wind being thrown at a ninety-degree angle to his face.
