Hyello! Welcome to this mess of a blog, sit back, relax, and enjoy the chaos. I'm Cherry | they/them | I have no idea what I'm doing! Mostly Sanders Sides but might have a bit of random sprinkled in.
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
Remus stares at the seam of the wedding photo, made whole again after more than a decade. His Pa, Patton, familiar with his cowboy-handsome, weather-beaten face and his dimpled grin and his big, calloused hand resting over his new husband’s, even if Remus has never seen him look this smitten ever.
“And we’re both born on October 11… then, Roman. You and I are… like… brothers.”
And his Dad—Janus—smiling coyly, handsome in the way of magazine models, so completely a stranger to Remus with just this scrap of a photograph to serve as any way to know him, really know him. The way Roman knows him. The way Remus has been dying to know him all his life.
“Remus,” Roman breathes out, disbelieving. “We aren’t just brothers. We’re twins.”
Remus wonders, in a daze, if seeing the opposite life he could have had is as strange for Roman as it is for him… if they’d just been switched at birth, it’s the life Remus could have had, knowing his Dad instead of his Pa, but then…
But then it clicks.
“Roman,” he says, turning to grin at his brother—his brother! “I have a completely perfect, totally awesome idea!”

chapter one: prologue
Across the world from each other, two very different families help two very similar boys pack their bags.
chapter two: welcome to camp walden!
Welcome to what we like to think of as the most beautiful spot on God's green earth—Camp Walden.
chapter three: en garde
The boys come to blows. (With practice épées, but in their minds, it’s equally as serious.)
chapter four: riposte
The boys come to blows. (With words and stitching.)
chapter five: black card
The boys come to blows. (With a temporary reversal of gravity, oodles of chocolate sauce, and finally, some semblance of adult interference.)
chapter six: isolation station
The boys spend a great deal of their time considering coming to blows. Until suddenly, they don’t want to fight at all anymore.
chapter seven: operation augustus
The realization of having an identical twin does quite a bit to spur some out-of-the-box levels of creativity.
chapter eight: let's get down to business!
The boys begin to plot. Camp Walden trembles in fear.
chapter nine: to defeat… the family civil divisions of napa and london respectively!
The boys plot. The world all over ought to be trembling in fear.
chapter ten: domine dirige nos
Remus spends a great deal of time weighing the most British way to say hello. He’s going to have to repress throwing in a what’s all this then, guv’nor? the entire time.
chapter eleven: eureka!
Roman spends a great deal of time weighing the most American way to say hello. He thinks he probably shouldn’t come right out of the gate with howdy, y’all!
chapter twelve: a wench in the works
This absolutely was not in their multitude of blueprints!
chapter thirteen: riding is magic and friendship is power and love is everything to everyone
Roman gets to meet his pony. He should, by all rights, be much more excited about it, but someone had to go and ruin it for him.

Virgil curses being so observant.
chapter fifteen: all of my change spent on you
Remus has a particularly fun run-in. Well. Fun for him.
chapter sixteen: so your sons have swapped places and are in foreign countries
This particular subject was not covered in the parenting books.

Janus is officially the father of the two most troublesome twins in the galaxy.
chapter nineteen: you got me tripping, stumbling! sinking, fumbling!
Patton makes a splash.
chapter twenty: the queen elizabeth the second the second
The twins attempt to revive the past. The parents wish to change it.
chapter twenty-one: i said a boom chicka boom!
Logan’s swept off his feet. As is Maddox, in an entirely different way.
chapter twenty-two: i said a boom GO TO YOUR ROOM
The twins’ plots bear oh-so-satisfying fruit.
chapter twenty-three: where dreams have no end
A hello, a goodbye.
chapter twenty-four: the concorde(ance)
A goodbye, a hello.
chapter twenty-five: epilogue
Two very similar boys help their two very different families assimilate into one.
Phil: So I saw a clip– right, this is not- we're having a non-canon conversation– I saw a clip of Pac and Mike getting into the fcking Nether, and then they got teleported out, and you were just there.
My Egg was just floating Creative Mode, and it made me laugh so fcking hard, I think I showed it to Kristin like, three times. [Laughs] Was that you? Was that– [Laughs]
Chayanne: [Gives the tiniest nod]
Phil: [Loses it] Dude– were you like, "Oh for fcks sake, what are they doing dude?" you looked so fed up. I could– [Laughs]
i like to think that for every character, their full inventory is canonically just stored in their backpacks (even if it doesn’t fit in-game) WITH the exception of jaiden, who just pulls increasingly more insane objects from her pockets with seemingly no end
everyone else has to dig through their backpacks for their items meanwhile jaiden just sticks half her arm into her pants pocket, pulls out 20 unrelated things, before finally finding what she was looking for after like 5 minutes of rummaging around
Meme picture of a drawn head with empty space in the middle, used to represent a person's mind being full of something. The inside of the head is filled with text. It's too much text to fit inside the empty space, so parts of the text stick out from all sides of the head. The text says:
"The QSMP eggs and the fact that the plot is being moved forward by hostile external forces have created such a strong sense of love and community between everyone on the island. Because the plot doesn't need to be moved forward by internal conflict, plus all the egg parents understand how important the children are to the other parents, everyone is inclined to work together and support each other. It's about how even with Cellbit's recent "villain arc", Forever still believes that Cellbit is on their side. Roier still wants to save him and solve everything through love and friendship. Maxo is still willing to give him a chance. Even BadBoyHalo is having trouble believing that Cellbit would betray them. It's about how even if Cellbit really is betraying them, in his eyes he's, on some level, doing it for the happiness of his son. It's about how they rushed to include Baghera in the Ordo Theoritas meeting and immediately filled her in on everything that had happened. It's about how they talked everything over and shared their perspectives and came to a shared goal, instead of each clinging to their own side of the story. It's about how the conclusion they came to was that they needed to, first and foremost, save Cellbit and protect their children. It's about how Quackity rushed to take care of Richarlyson and entertain him to make him happy because he'd had a tough day and no one else could be there. It's about how Quackity wasn't the best parent before losing Tilín and he's trying to be a better one for Richarlyson. It's about how even when Quackity was generally seen as untrustworthy and dangerous by everyone (reasonably so), they all still understood and kept in mind that he was hurting. And the same thing happened with Charlie. When he lost JuanaFlippa, he tried to go on a rampage, and everyone was scared of him, but they were still trying to help. Because he was hurting. It's about how when Bobby died, Jaiden didn't know what to do with herself. She didn't feel like she was needed anymore, so everyone made sure to include her in everything. They called her over for every quest and every investigation and every little adventure. It's about how when the French first joined, Baghera got attached to Pomme right away, lost all the other French people in the chaos, and Forever, Bad, and Phil stayed behind with her. They showed her around the server and waited for her and gave her things to protect herself and Pomme. Forever told her about how he lost Richarlyson and tried to prevent her and Pomme from suffering the same way, with so much genuine worry and compassion. It's about how Philza and BadBoyHalo are always ready to take care of the eggs whose parents aren't available, ready to fight for them tooth and nail. It's about a million other little things, so many little things that it would be impossible to list them all. It's about all of them singing songs together and sharing jokes through all the language barriers and cultural differences. It's about how everyone is "uncle/aunt" or "tío/tía" or "abuelito". They're all family. It's about how whenever someone gets hurt and an egg could be in danger, everyone else rushes to help (if they can). It's about how whenever someone logs onto the server they're greeted with messages from everyone saying hello in all the different languages with all the nicknames and terms of endearment they've given each other. It's about getting 14 people to go to sleep in Minecraft at the same time, goddamn it, and that's with 4 languages involved. It's about compassion and understanding and love and love and love and love and love and love"
Do you think Jaiden has those kinds of reflective eyes that make it look like her eyes are glowing? If so, do you think Roier ever gets scared when he sees two shining eyes in the darkness of him and jaiden's room and figure out it's just Jaiden getting something to eat?
i drew this as fast as i fucking could because it made me laugh so hard
