I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.

If a fantasy world has an ancient tree of wisdom, that means it must also have young trees that are dumb as shit. Just giving terrible advice like, "the evil wizard is kinda hot"'

[evilwizard]

okay. rude.

— unwise baby trees, probably

I always thought Bakugou’s hero costume looked familiar & couldn’t place it. It’s been years of trying to pinpoint it.

Well boys, as a retired Irish dance champion I finally figured it out.

You’re welcome.

[ID: TGCF fanart of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian. First, Hua Cheng looks forward with his right eye closed; overlaid is the glowing gold outline of his saber E'ming, whose eye is positioned directly over his eyelid. Second, Xie Lian looks forward with a somber expression; overlaid is the glowing gold outline of the sword Fangxin cutting his face in half, while the outlines of a cry-smiling mask and his cursed shackle also float over his face and neck.

absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

i am not immune to friends

subtle ways to include foreshadowing

one character knowing something offhandedly that they shouldn't, isn't addressed until later

the crow rhyme

colours!! esp if like, blue is evil in your world and the mc's best friend is always noted to wear blue...betrayal?

write with the ending in mind

use patterns from tragic past events to warn of the future

keep the characters distracted! run it in the background until the grand reveal

WEATHER.

do some research into Chekhov's gun

mention something that the mc dismisses over and over

KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU PUT. don't leave things hanging.

unreliable characters giving information that turn out to be true

flowers and names with meanings

anything with meanings actually

metaphors. if one character describes another as "a real demon" and the other turns out to be the bad guy, you're kind of like...ohhh yeahhh

anyways add anything else in the tags

I think part of the reason I’m so obsessed with MXTX’s works is the way that each story seems to hold you gently as say “Your kindness mattered. It didn’t alleviate the suffering, it did not undo the pain. But your kindness mattered.”

Kindness could not erase Luo Binghe’s abuse, but it changed the story into a kinder one.

Kindness did not stop Wei Wuxian’s death, but it did save a-Yuan.

Kindness did not undo Xie Lian’s suffering, but it renewed his sincerity to help others.

Kindness did not change the entire world, but it helped create a softer future.

Its such a nice message, that maybe kindness will not protect you, maybe you don’t see the outcome of it, but you should still try to be kind, and I love that honestly.

I'm gonna hold your hands SO GENTLY as I say this but it's okay for Matt to want a break from GMing for a bit. He did three longterm, intense campaigns essentially back to back. Exandria just underwent some MASSIVE changes with the gods becoming mortal. He probably needs time to work out how that's going to effect the world longterm.

It's also going to be okay if some of the cast members want a break. They're all incredibly busy people, working on Critical Role projects alongside their other projects. If they need a break from being a full time PC, that's okay!!

Matt GMing Exandria for ten years was almost certainly exhausting and draining. Critical Role is not gone, it's not over. They're just trying new things. Trust their creative processes. If you don't like it, you don't have to interact with it. But don't shit on them or the fans who are excited for the new stories, worlds, and characters we get to explore.

It's a new era for Critical Role and I am so excited to see what comes next. Brennan Lee Mulligan is going to kill it.

I had to do a version for them!
