Huldra Of The Hill

Behold! The first chapter of my very first Critical Role fanfic is live!

Anuri is a character I hope to use in an Exandria campaign some day. Her story plays out a little differently on the character sheet, since I designed her to be canon-neutral, but having her interact with the Mighty Nein in fiction seemed like a fun way to flesh out that backstory in my own mind and do some character work. I was especially interested in how she would interact with Caleb, since she is somewhat of a foil to him in ways that will emerge in later chapters. On that note, there are some heavy chapters that I will content warn as they are released, as I can’t really warn up front without spoiling things.

It’s a long one. The completed doc is at about 73,000 words. Fun fact: I finished it in a coffee shop in Sunset Park the morning of the NYC Fjorester Wedding live show!

thinking about how directly yanessa targeted kattigan when he arrived with hal and thaisha. yes, thaisha is a lloy and a druid and probably not the ideal target for the creed and hal is a target of a different sort of manipulation from the halovar but kattigan could have been nothing. she could have ignored him entirely but she didn’t. she called out how she saw a weight on him and how the church could help and how he could be shown the light.

and i am reminded a little of how so many AA and NA meetings are held in churches and how these programs often reference a “higher power” and many people in recovery find their way to that recovery through some god or another

and kattigan is an addict, an alcoholic, who maybe could be considered in recovery or maybe just struggling with sobriety, we don’t know yet. and yanessa targets him with her mini-sermon without missing a beat and i wonder if that’s just a Thing the creed does, i’d bet it’s a thing the creed does, offering a safe space and “redemption” and all you have to do is believe, and they get a devout following of the common people because look what those common people gained from the light

IMO the best way for Wick to reappear without arousing too much suspicion is to pretend to have spent the whole time on a drunken bender.

"Yeah you told me there was no need to keep myself pure so I went to fetch the hot lion man I wanted to have sex with. Where he went afterward? I don't know, I was pretty blacked out. Kattigan? Oh you mean the wild man with the wolf? Yeah he was there too".

saw someone say they feel bad and awkward ‘contributing nothing’ to fandom (“no fics, no drawings, no theories, just gluttony”) and to anyone who feels inferiority about this i gotta say us creators, doing things for free, love nothing more than your unbridled spiralling greed in our notifications aka genuinely be more unapologetically gluttonous 24/7 there is nothing wrong with enjoying something insatiably because us writers and artists feel empty and despairing without a passionate audience and feral surroundings so please and thank you and we love you

Also can I just say how happy I was that Thaisha was in that scene with Yanessa. Because that challenge loud and clear from the Lloy in the campaign about "Redemption from what" was so needed. It's such a corrosive idea coming from the Candescent creed that we have all inherently done something wrong, but it's specially heinous to ask for penitence from a people who have been treated as inferior for so long. You will not take the energy of the rebellion, turn it inward into self-hatred and use it for your own good without pushback in Dol-Makjar while Thaisha Lloy is standing right there.

This is also very interestingly in conversation with Tyranny's scene with Tsul'rekshi where it seems like Tyranny has internalized this belief of the creed, that her inherent nature is sinful and evil. Sure Tsul'rekshi might agree that their nature is inherently one of destruction, and I think the situation with the knife proves that this is something beyond Tyranny's complete control, but this doesn't mean that it should be done in evil. If anything Tsul'rekshi's nature to "in every age tear down the highest tower" is a noble cause. After all, there are many things in this world worth destroying and nobody should apologize for doing just that.
