Anyway, which of the 37 chambers Shadowgast explored in the Happy Fun Ball do you think they've had sex in, and why is it all of them.

*Considering the time differences. In the ball, 9 hours, but as time passed outside, it had been weeks.

It's delightful how Essek is both unbothered by showing up in Beau and Yasha's bedroom, them being fully naked, and then being asked to make them coffee. It's extremely clear he knows his way around this house.

a wild blink-and-miss-it moment from Projekt Funball is the reveal that (if we take puzzleconstruct!Caleb at his word) during the time Trent was in prison Caleb was visiting him to talk to him: "Listen to me, you old vulture. Just because I have come to offer you conversation a handful of times doesn't afford you any form of closeness or kinship."

This is fine and normal. And also funny, considering that up until his escape, Trent could not speak due to the arcane silencing collar attached to his neck with sovereign glue. So I guess Caleb would visit and just. brood and monologue at him, unless Trent was afforded a pen. Mr. Nastygram post-it notes

#Caleb was probably telling him all about Astrid and Eadwulfs dismantling of his bullshittery #and how everything moved on without him and he was never needed #It kind of made the echoes of the solstice one shot a little more understandable if Caleb was consistently visiting Trent #Trent wanted Caleb back and/or to hurt as much as he had over the years and I think that's just neat #projekt funball #cr spoilers #critical role

No cause I can’t stop laughing at Caleb’s strategy in the combat. First step is you have to take out Fjord. So you try that once, and it doesn’t work, so you try again, and it still doesn’t work. OK you have to move on because Yasha is right below you and about to fuck you up, so you put her in a forcecage. You’re safe from her now right? WRONG! You never incapacitated Fjord and now he’s already freed Yasha. By the time you have done all this Beau has caught up to you and now you’re stunned and can’t do anything. His plan wasn’t even bad! The Nein are just a damn force of nature

#I think the funniest thing of all is that Matt (or Liam I cant recall) said the objects they gathered during the rooms #were supposed to be used to knock Caleb back into himself and force the leech from him so they could attack it and kill it #instead they went straight to nah we gotta murder our friend to free him #until the very end when Beau flicked the bean #projekt funball #critical role #cr spoilers

While I'm talking about understated moments from the liveshow, let's talk about Frumpkin. Caleb notably frees Frumpkin from familiarhood at the end of Campaign 2, before the timeskips, after the Mighty Nein have just battled Trent Ikithon at the Blooming Grove. In his brief Campaign 3 appearance, Caleb says, "Well, it has been a number of years since we've had Frumpkin along." That's the most recent in-game mention of him. It's very possible that there was an offscreen reunion sometime between then and now, but I like the idea that there wasn't. Because that means that here in Projekt Funball, having not called on him in the years since their farewell, Caleb is in trouble and he desperately and instinctively reaches out to his dear once-familiar: "FRUMPKIN I NEED YOU!" And instantly Frumpkin is there, like nothing has changed. We don't know the exact circumstances, but I like to think an echo of their old link is still there even if the obligation is not, and so when Frumpkin comes this time it is of his own accord, as a friend who has heard the panicked cry of someone he loves.

The corrupted tower scene of Caleb's childhood at his family's cottage also gives Frumpkin what might be his very first look at the original Frumpkin, who is his namesake and the exact shape of the wound in Caleb's heart that a familiar was first meant to fill. Liam narrates Frumpkin looking at his shadowy original in particular: "Frumpkin, sitting on your shoulder, sits up at attention and cocks his head." This is firstly Liam helping the players understand that this scene is of is Bren's childhood, since OG Frumpkin is there, but it also serves as a genuine reaction. Jester asks, "Is that you, Frumpkin?" and the previously vocal Frumpkin says nothing. And then he watches OG! Frumpkin burn. Woof. (meow?).

There wasn't time in the liveshow format to really sit with his presence, but I like to think this is the start of a new rapport & that we may possibly see Frumpkin again in future Caleb Widogast appearances.
