CRITICAL ROLE 4.30 Here in the Dark a very normal and unstressful episode

CONTEXT: I scrolled past a beautifully phrased post by @heytherecentaurs praising Alex and Aabria's fantastic range that I fully agree with and love and it would be amazing to make a better compilation of them, but my brain came up with a tiny edit I wanted to make instead, so uhhhhhh... Ya know.

I would attach it as a reblog but like— It does nnnnnoooot match the tone with which they praised them, so it feels. Inappropriate.

‼️ Minor warning for some screaming?? I mean, it's INTENSE sounding, but the source of the audio is rayisoflight on TikTok being blinded by some bright truck headlights.

Listen.

Occtis is my favorite character. He lives in my brain rent free. But some of y'all are so unnecessarily mean to Vaelus and her decision to break the stone (in a desperate attempt to save everyone!!!) and not think about Occtis.

She barely knows him! Yeah, they were kinda connecting and there was perhaps a tentative friendship starting to bloom. But she's so fucking old and she does Not know this guy. She met him not even 2 weeks ago. And in that moment she was having to choose between saving her family or the lost souls and instead tried to do both

Obviously, from Occtis's perspective, not having been considered before breaking the stone hurts and that sucks. Especially after we got the "only 2 people care about me" line. He might have thought Vaelus was a potential third person to care about him, and her saying she did not think of him utterly shattered that.

As a lover of angst, this is fantastic. I'm very much looking forward to how their relationship will develop from here. But some of y'all are so weird and annoying lmao. All because a female character didn't consider the guy she barely knows in her desperate attempt to save everyone. Lol fuck off

Vaelus Critical Role Campaign 4 did nothing wrong

Lestat’s music had been improving each episode so I knew to brace for an incoming masterpiece any minute now. And still Stained Glass Eyes still knocked me on my ass what the FUCK

Everyone needs to stop saying death of the author when what they mean is separating the art from the artist. Like FR stop it.

I know it's mainly just ignorance of what the term means but I do wonder if this happens in part bcos 'death of the author' sounds so dramatic like oh this author is dead to me, I don't care about them anymore. Whereas 'separating the art from the artist' is a lot more neutral and well. In CERTAIN CASES it is kind of immediately apparent that you cannot.

TO REITERATE:

Death of the Author is a term coined by Roland Barthes for his essay of the same name in 1967.

In brief: death of the author is the concept that analysis of a work of art should not be focused on the artist's intent; the artist's intended reading of their own work is just A reading and no more valid than anyone else's.

A good straightforward example of this in practice is the response to Andy Weir and Project Hail Mary. Weir is adamant that his work contains no politics but I would say that PHM is pretty clearly a story about climate change.

You can apply death of the author to any work of fiction and it has nothing to do with whether the author is a good or bad person.

It's not lost on me that Dol-makjar is a historically orcish city and yet has a governing body consisting entirely of humans. How the hallowed round, the very site of so much orcish suffering, is mearly on a lease to Hal from the sundered houses, trying to corrupt and shape the stories they share there.
