every time someone talks about the raven queen as if she's some sort of heartless cold bitch of a god i think about the fact that one of her champion's primary duties is to soothe the fears of those most afraid of death when their time comes as they are guided into the afterlife.

#critical role #the raven queen #she isn't soft by any means and cold isn't entirely untrue but she isn't unjust or heartless #nothing that happened with vax in c1 was against his will #at every shift in his relationship to her it was out of his own choice. sure it wasn't originally what he intended but its how it went #also i dont Entirely understand the idea that he had to completely disobey her to go to the malleus key when like.#i feel like trying to stop a dude from killing all the gods therefore denying the natural order of death is pretty on brand for the matron!#sure the moment was very much vax but like. i dont think what he did went against her at all?#overall though i think theres just a mix of the assumption that death god = evil and people that are bitter over c1 #that overshadow what the matron's character is actually shown to be in canon
