I know Essek and Caleb are foils âcause of all their shared life experiences and blah blah blah but the REAL parallel is when Jester asked Caleb what the shadiest thing he ever did was he said âNott and I have robbed people for sure...â while when Beau asked what the worst thing Essek had ever done was he said âanger my father to a point where he went into the depths of Bazzoxan and didnât return,â both immediately skirting around the ACTUAL worst things theyâve ever done
#the wizards out here avoiding their problems#they really are so similar#both of these moments made me laugh in hindsight#critical role#essek thelyss#caleb widogast#shadowgast#ryseling#ryseling rambles

sometimes i like to think about the contrast between cyrael and rysel. like physically i made them look really different, but also in personality and how they respond to everything their lives have thrown at them
like rysel was initially meant to be a one off character who only showed up a few sections but i liked the contrast with cyrael he brought to the story so i kept him in and eventually developed him more and more so the contrast is by design but i'm in the mood to ramble
she grew up with very little stability. her parents were adventurers by trade, constantly moving place to place, she was just enough younger than her older brothers that she couldn't quite do the things they could either so she was just kind of left to do her own thing a lot, aside from time to learn how to wield a sword and a bow, make traps and whatnot. it was this being left alone and brushed aside that made her feel the need to prove she could do something useful, and led to her getting attacked by the bear. her parents dropped her with her aunts, who while they cared for her were not prepared to have a gravely injured, emotionally unwell child dropped on them by some random relative who refused to settle down and actually take care of said child. she goes into everything expecting the worst and expecting a fight, she's operating under the assumption that nobody will like or trust her, and her reaction to pretty much any situation is to fight her way out, even when it probably shouldn't be
whereas rys grew up with pretty much every aspect of his life being controlled either directly or indirectly by his parents, especially his mother. he wasn't allowed to be anything, he was expected to be perfect, and his best efforts were never good enough to get him ranked any higher in line for the throne than his actual baby siblings. he's operating under the assumption everyone's going to be disappointed in him, and he's doing absolutely nothing to prove them wrong, because why bother when the effort gets you nowhere anyway? he expects everyone to want to hurt him and most of the time he's just going to sit there and take it, and his few attempts to stand up for himself at the start are largely misguided because he does Not know how the real world works and that trying to pull authority figure card doesn't work on cyrael, who isn't even tied to a single kingdom.
and these two who have pretty much no shared experience or personality compatibility have to work together, because cy has to or she ends up back in prison and rys is at a point where he's going to do one good thing (find and save his sister) or die trying, and without her he most definitely would have died because he has no practical skill surviving or fighting in the wild
and in return after they learn cy is the chosen one, he's got to help her navigate her life flipping over and going from being a nobody to being a "hero," when she's fully convinced she's undeserving of the title. she doesn't know how to handle attention, especially positive attention, because she doesn't really get any

CR episode 98 beat me up in a Dennyâs parking lot at 2am, hereâs how:
1. âWell, if thereâs anything that we are adept at, itâs being careful, and keeping information close to the vest.â
2. âThe only thing Iâve ever found that brings closure is when everyoneâs finally in the ground.â
3. âAlways remember that. You donât want to punish the people who made you, you want to make sure no one else makes you.â (iâm in a STATE over this holy fuck)
4. Jester & Fjord going back and forth ENDLESSLY over Fjordâs big fancy hat (+chicken noises & a dinner date)
5. #1 Shadowgast Shipper, Jester Lavorre
6. Beau quietly smiling & watching Yashaâs bone harp performance
7. âI want my wife. I donât want a poem.â
8. Jester immediately drawing a picture of Beau with her new gear
9. âCaptain! Permission to pick the lock!â / â...Excellent. Permission granted.â
10. Beau, Jester, & Yasha having feelings convos over craft projects
11. âYou are very different from when I first met youâ + âI understand youâ / âOf course you doâ + âI value this family, Fjord, because I killed my ownâ + âI know youâve done terrible things, but I see a good manâ and that WHOLE CONVERSATION because oHM Y FUCKING GO D
12. âAs you stop and your wings gather around you, they are not black, but feathered.â (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
13. FJORD PLEASE TELL YOUR CRAZY EX TO FUCK OFF jesus fucking CHRIST Iâm about to having a GODDAMN HEART ATTACK
14. Fjordâs SICK fuckinâ move dropping from the mast, cursing a bitch, & zipping back up the crowâs nest all in one breath
15. Beau immediately screaming, âFJORD!â
16. CLUTCH counterspell from Caleb
17. Fjord is fuckinâ dead!! lmao!! so fun!!

consider:
Jesterâs chosen significant other(s) and her dad both trying to give one another the shovel talk simultaneously. Itâs a disaster and Marion Lavorre is much better at delivering the shovel talk than either Jesterâs sweetheart(s) OR The Gentleman will ever be.

self-care during self-quarantine is this collection of moments from CR episode 99:
1. awwww Samâs little 5 year anniversary song~
2. the whole team gathered around Fjord helping keep him safe while Caduceus revives him, Jester and Beau holding his hands, Caleb propping him up and telling him to breathe, and then when they had to get the orb out of him too
3. âYou alright? I mean, aside from no?â
4. âI donât know, I just vomited a ball, what do you want from me?â
5. âAnd even in that cold moment of loss, thereâs a part of you that believes she wouldâve caught you.â (PLEASE,,, I CAN ONLY CRY SO MUCH,,)
6. âOh, are they boning?â / â...I think he definitely hates her - â / âSo, yes.â
7. âVeth, just so you know, if shit goes down... I want you to pack the good powder. Are we clear?â / â...Yes?â *looks to the others and shrugs*
8. Dezran âNot-Essekâ Thain
9. CADUCEUS BAKING A CAKE FOR JESTER JUST BECAUSE HE KNEW SHE WANTED PASTRIES AND IT WOULD MAKE HER HAPPY
10. âHeâs made of chairs.â
11. weird awkward empire sibling hugs (Â âDo I need an occasion to hug you??â + the rest of the gang cheering/teasing when Caleb reciprocates the second hug)
12. the continued badgering of Marius by the entire M9 ( first mate voice: âFuck you, Marius!â)
13. âCaptain, weâre being followed by a tiny island!â (well, fuck.)

please consider:
Jester, being the lovely, affectionate person she is, being super sweet and doting to Frumpkin all the time, while Caleb quietly tries not to go into cardiac arrest every time she picks up, nuzzles, gently cradles, or purrs back at his cat
and then Jester unwittingly does it once when Caleb is in the middle of seeing through Frumpkinâs eyes, and Caleb has an actual heart attack
(bonus points if the moment Jester finds out, she redoubles her efforts, and adds in little kisses and ear scritches to her usual Frumpkin-pampering routine just in case itâs Caleb in there at any given time)
#this could go for any s/o of caleb's but i was thinking of jester when i had the idea#also it seems particularly fitting for her#i could see that actually happening in cr tbh#they're too cute i can't escape them#critical role#caleb widogast#jester lavorre#widojest#frumpkin#ryseling#ryseling rambles

widojest rights is Jester just scooping up Caleb and spinning him around the room âcause sheâs strong enough to lift him over her head and seeing his face go all red and hearing the way he laughs all breathless and happy when she plants a smooch or fifty on his face is the best thing ever
#i haven't done text posts in a while#also it's really just soft hours tonight#i've said before i love spin kisses and i'll say it again#this is my JAM#i'm gonna write this at some point i know i will#critical role#jester lavorre#caleb widogast#widojest#ryseling#ryseling rambles

Iâve been having lots of fun doing these ship memes so expect even more of them~
*slaps SabiGiyuu* you can fit so much angst in these bad boys
#this is of course assuming final selection went different for them#i cope through aus#i'm very attached to the idea of giyuu having better penmanship / being a better driver and stuff#also i almost choked laughing at the *one who dies protecting the other* prompt#haha i love pain#also the heights is just personal headcanon since there's no canon adult sabito height#demon slayer#kimetsu no yaiba#tomioka giyuu#sabito#kny sabito#sabigiyuu#ryseling#ryseling rambles

Nott/Veth giving Calebâs chosen significant other the shovel talk, but itâs to the tune of Samâs innumerable âblasting Astridâ remarks from Talks Machina: Discussing C2E88 - Unwanted Reunions

AAAAAA FINALLY. FINALLY HAVE I FOUND SOMEONE TO SCREAM ABOUT MY SHIPS WITH. THANK YOU FOR EXISTING. feed me any inogentanzen headcanons you have. Please and thank you
ALSHFJALF BLESS,,, ITâS SCREAM TIME!!Â
⢠Inosuke is a notorious thief of comfy things. he snatches Tanjirou and Zenitsuâs haoris and Genyaâs yukata whenever theyâre left unattended and just snuggles into âem. refuses to give them back. they are his now. heâll take blankets and pillows and stuff too of course (the minute he learned what a pillow fort was he decided he was going to be the BEST at making them), but itâs especially nice having soft things to snuggle that belong to his boyfriends. the only thing he likes more than bundling up all cozy in his boyfriendsâ clothes is actually snuggling with the three of them.
⢠nothing relaxes Zenitsu like listening to his boyfriendsâ heartbeats. he could wax poetic for hours about all of their unique sounds. Tanjirou always sounds gentle and warm, like the sun rising and the Earth waking up on a summer morning. Inosuke sounds like a rushing mountain river: loud, but strong, steady, and soothing underneath. Genyaâs sound reminds Zenitsu of tree roots shifting in the earth and growing through stones - it might seem harsh on the ears at first when the roots are cracking stones apart, but itâs really very calming (plus the idea that the roots are overcoming obstacles to help the tree grow reassures Zen in this weird metaphor). if Zenitsu ever has trouble sleeping it really helps to just listen to those three. the combination of all of their sounds is his favorite, âcause it means theyâre all close by and safe.
⢠because he can hear so well tho, Zenitsu can also hear how their heartbeats all change when theyâre around him. at first he only paid attention to how their sounds changed around each other, but eventually he started picking up on it happening around him as well. because the lad is insecure he still refused to think it meant anything for a while, but once they all finally get their acts together and start dating, hearing how their heartbeats all sound happier around him just makes him,,, REALLY emotional,,, like itâs so hard for him to believe even one person likes him, let alone THREE, but when he listens the proof is right there and he doesnât know how to handle it in the slightest.
⢠Tanjirou, Inosuke, and Zenitsu all have different approaches to getting Genya (damn giant that he is) within proper kiss distance. Tanjirou usually either asks directly for Genya to lean down, or makes some excuse for him to do so (youâve got something on your face, Genya, let me get it or can you come closer so I can tell you something? or something like that), and kisses him then. Zenitsu usually kinda tugs at the hem or sleeve of Genyaâs clothes without saying anything or starts loudly complaining about how tall Genya is until Genya gets the message and leans down. and of course Inosuke either just climbs Genya like a damn tree, or he takes the âif I run and leap at Genya he will most certainly catch me in his armsâ route. every single one of these approaches makes Genya blush. every time.
⢠even though they all canât always be together on missions, they always make an effort to make sure thereâs someone to go with Genya whenever he has to go for his checkups.
⢠all four of them sometimes have trouble talking honestly about their feelings for various reasons, even as they get closer and better at being honest with each other, so they eventually work out a few nonverbal cues that they can use when they donât feel like they can put something into words just yet. they have signals for âIâm feeling upsetâ and âI need comfort/attentionâ for sure, and a signal for âI love you,â âcause sometimes stuffâs just hard to say out loud!
⢠that just makes the times where they do say stuff out loud more special, though. being emotionally vulnerable is tough, but itâs easier when theyâre with each other.
