#vm v m9

[beauregardlionett]

re-watching vm v. m9 and i forgot how fucking ruthlessly beau killed scanlan holy shit girl talk about daddy issues

[pocketgalaxies]

cartoon keyleth is such a downgrade from campaign keyleth. she really did just become "focus group approved Woman" because of how whiny the fanbase was about her being thorny and rude. it's why i'm okay with matt in c3 sometimes being sloppy with her motivations because at least it's just him misremembering and not an active choice to misrepresent her to make her "sweet innocent naive girl" for whatever reason.

yeah the short-form nature of tv has Flattened a lot of these characters and arcs, unfortunately. i can't say that i'm surprised by that general vibe and it was present in the prior seasons too, but i am Surprised and Dismayed by some of the changes they're making that, in my opinion, are actively flattening what could've been kept pretty faithful to the campaign and authentically complicated. why are we making changes to deeply rooted and important character motivations??? to what end??????

this is not really related but truly one of my deepest fears is that we're gonna revisit vm in c3 and marisha is gonna play keyleth as this less interesting Nice Girl With A Broken Heart bc that's the caricature she's been for a while, what with tlovm and matt's recent interpretations of her. i don't know what i'm gonna do if that happens. get gaslit into space i guess

Also the Cooldown conversation about using different flags or clothing items for switching between M9 and BH characters reminds me of the VM v. M9 one-shot where Tal signaled the switch between Percy and Molly by wearing and removing his glasses

Hi! A question for your broadway au. One of my favorite broadway traditions is the Legacy Robe, which honors the chorus member who has the most chorus credits to their name on opening night of a musical (you can see part of the ceremony in this vlog, starting at the 2:00 mark. Just be aware this is from before bcefa changed the name of the robe: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0nDxboDkG0I&list=PLq3YGrUBOjCmv2kNMV6UwDl7iE0mdR1wm&index=4 ) If, in some version of this au, everyone from the three main campaigns were to be working on the great white way in various positions and sometimes but not alway interacting (a la the ballet au), which character(s) (pc or npc) do you think would be a reciepient of the Legacy Robe? Personally, I could see Orym recieving it, and perhaps Eshteross when he was in his prime.

Yes, this tradition is so cool!

I absolutely agree with you on Orym, and I also think that Laudna and Molly would be up there in chorus credits too. Other than that, I honestly can't see many of the M9 being stage performers, I feel like they would mostly be doing behind the scenes stuff. And let's be real, all of VM are pretty much leads all the time, with the exception of Keyleth who has quite a few chorus credits, but definelty not enough to get her the legacy robe.

Let's not forget Beau x Pike from the VM v M9 crossover

Marisha ray going out of her way to have Beau call Imogen cute. cross campaign gay experiences stay winning. the cast Understands. Imogen gushing about Beau abs nonstop has a universal balance.

[lorn-art]

I’m back! Fjord’s back!!

[howlbear]

AAAAAAAAAAA

[starrazorr]

ok the funniest part of the percy v beau dynamic of frustrated tired dad energy v chaotic uni student bastard is the fact that percy and beau are canonically like..........Very close in age. early 20s disaster children.

[gaymageclub]

so, who's gonna draw the scene of vax getting the beat to death while watching scanlan get pegged by ghost-pike?

[gardener-ienzio]

I completely forgot that Beau is both a fighter and a tank rolled into one when she's going against ranged characters like Percy lmao, vm might be fucked if things keep going this way because she's taking on all of vm without even getting hit because she just keeps stunning everyone

[cupcakesandhags]

looking forward to round 2

i hope:

caleb yasha cad

veth & tary in the crystal

vex grog keyleth

[autisticritter]

so in conclusion that was a great fight and if someone doesn't end up with a high level blood hunter next campaign i might riot

[linianicholls]

BINGO

[technicallydelightfulangel]

Pike should have said "return" but I'm glad "protect" is working

[feral-renaissance-cat]

Imagine Percy meeting the Mighty Nein. Yes, there’s a trigger-happy goblin and an adorable tiefling and a woman that he should really introduce to Grog, but then he meets

- The one who made a pact he didn’t quite understand with a powerful evil entity that threatens to harm him if he doesn’t do its bidding

- The one who lost his family in one tragic night and was driven mad so now he spends his time trying to make things right

- The one who grew up with a big family until a dark magic tainted his home and now he just wants to be with his siblings again

- The one who’s smart but standoffish and her self-assured attitude isn’t doing her any favors (not to mention she wears blue and is secretly motivated by a need to prove she can exceed her father’s expectations)

“...No no no no, this won’t do. You’re all coming with me. Have you ever had snow mead? Whitestone has some of the best honey in all of Tal’Dorei. Vex’ahlia! Vex’ahlia darling, go tell the children they have four new siblings!”
