i really loved the moments where the dsmp members took advantage of streaming as a medium, but i can really only think of 2 examples

when ponk announced that an ad break was coming, it cut to that godzilla (?) ad that was playing all the time on twitch, but a few seconds in it "glitched" back to a flashback scene in minecraft before the ad finished playing, and ponk didn't acknowledge that anything had happened

when seapeekay went afk in the egg room and left his webcam on so chat could see his chair, and then his character started moving on its' own towards the egg

can anyone think of any other examples i love stuff like this

YESS RAUGHH adding onto this with other cool moments i remember with the streaming medium (maybe not on the same level but still my favs)

when tubbo found tommy's tower and immediately disconnected from the server, shut off his webcam, and turned off the stream

when ant was killed during the red banquet and the stream ended and people had to rush to other povs to find out what happened afterwards instead of just him respawning and continuing from there

and (not so much streaming as just general video media specific) when jack was having issues with his screen capture where the screen kept sporadically going black and he explained it as being a result of c!jack drinking so often (literally getting blackout drunk)

[calamitycodified]

that one was SICK i can't believe i forgot about it

i also wanna mention philza doing a "normal" hardcore stream on nov 16, presenting it as a way to chill from all the lore, before he suddenly jumps on to stop c!wilbur from pushing the button

something brennan does that i find very endearing is when he's in DM Mode and keeping track of 50 things at once he kinda. participates in the conversation unconsciously? like he'll echo things people say or give a corresponding response but like. always sort of absently and with the wrong tone and it's so charmingly funny

might be taking my life in my hands with this one but

“mean” doesn’t really cut it actually, but we’re not ready for that talk.

anyway.

very brave for three people to bring an animal companion into a world controlled by bleem is what i will say

Thimble & Teor Sketch

EPISODE ONE WAS SO GOOD IM IN LOVE WITH ALL THE CHARACTERS

[ideologyofone]

[fluidstatick]

I figured out what it is about Teor that makes me like him so much. He's the Group Dad. His surname is literally "Family Father." He's been out of the loop for a while through no fault of his own, but everyone loves and respects him - his old war buddies, his mentees, his friends' comrades. He said "Is anybody gonna look after these politically endangered boys and their families" and didn't wait for an answer. He's getting caught up as fast as he possibly can, steady on his big bare feet. He's giving everybody firm, sexy handshakes. He's thrown the awkward anxious new kid for a loop and immediately apologized for the jump scare that absolutely wasn't his fault. He's seen some shit. He'd ride through every version of hell for his people, and at some point you just know that Wic or Julien or Vaelus is going to say The Wrong Thing and get Absolutely Wrecked in PVP.

Also - I don't know if Travis is deliberately sliding Teor's accent between Russian, Scottish and Greek, but I love it sooooo much. Gotta talk extra carefully with all those teeth. Excelsior, Group Dad.

After scouring too many multiple sources (the burgeoning wiki pages, various articles, chatter, and the VOD itself), here is a chart of ALL the main player characters' relationships to Thjazi Fang, as best as I could determine them (so far).

Some of the NPCs, such as Wick's father or Uncle Emerald, are excluded for now. We have here the main PCs, their families as immediately relevant, and gradients for those who seem to have two major allegiances (one to Thjazi and one to their family) as of ep 1.

And also some lines for confirmed friendliness or beef lmao

endless possibility 🔮

[lesbeauien]

Some of my most favorite completely pivotal, campaign-changing moments from Critical Role Campaign 2, in no particular order:

-mail fraud

-walking through a literal, not-space-related, massively long tunnel-like worm hole from one continent to another. with no DM prompting to do so. they chose this.

-blueberry cupcakes

-almost killing a weird purple dude with a weird geometric object, letting him go only for him to get killed by the government an instant later, and then being like “well I don’t want the GOVERNMENT to have whatever that is” and stealing it back on a whim. and then just. carrying around a powerful magical relic of unknown significance. for months. just jangling around in their bags and occasionally being whipped out for a once-a-day reroll. this thing started a WAR and then disappeared from under the noses of TWO NATIONS and these random adventuring chucklefucks had it the whole time

-appearing for an audience before a queen of a foreign land wearing BDSM gear and whipping out one of their lost religious relics

-The Wildmother loving her weird pink son enough to give him THREE successful divine interventions

-relentlessly attempting to become best friends with a war criminal even after learning that he started a war

-accidentally stealing a pirate ship. not ~accidentally stealing~, actually on accident stealing a pirate ship with no intentions to do so prior to stealing the pirate ship. and then going “I guess we’re pirates now.”

-Fjord flipping off a sea god and destroying his weird sea sword and then refusing or forgetting to get rid of the weird sea orb inside him and then going out to sea after he pissed off the sea god. multiple times.

-Yasha cannot make a wisdom saving throw to save her life her free will and it changed the course of the story. multiple times.

-negotiating peace between warring nations, and then dipping out to go organize and attend a cult convention

-going to their first ever big city and being like “what do we do now? crime? is crime what we do now? crime?” and committing treason and conspiring to murder a city official and joining a crime syndicate led by a wet dude who later turned out to be Jester’s dad

[itseghost]

Larian studios: "Haha yeah isn't it funny that you can sleep with a druid in bear form? That's so--Look at me, look me in the eyes. there is no such thing as an "evil race". the players handbook is full of shit. personality traits based on race and species are bullshit. Every individual has the capacity for good an evil based on circumstances" *wizards of the coast security tries to drag them off stage*

Larian, clinging to the microphone: "DRAGONBORN HAVE TAILS! TIEFLINGS CAN BE PURPLE! QUEER CHARACTERS HAVE EVERY PLACE IN FANTASY MEDIA! YOU CAN AND SHOULD ROMANCE MIND FLAYERS NO! NO! LOOK AT ME! DRINKING POTIONS IS A BONUS ACTION! DON'T BELIEVE THEIR LIES!"
