just don't

This account exists to be insane about private nightmares. If I ever post about something unrelated to that show or the people in it, please tell me to leave this website.

CRITICAL ROLE 4.31 Trick of the Light

+ bonus live Laura reaction

[myhamartiaishubris]

How many of you guys can I convince to watch/listen to Haunted City so I can see my talented mutuals make fanart of them. It's got:

Blades in the Dark actual play, a TTRPG about being criminals and doing heists (think Leverage, Peaky Blinders, Six of Crows)

Ghosts, vampires, demonic cults

Industrial-era city streets choked with smog, corruption, magic, and Sweeney Todd-esque grotesquery

The world's weirdest most codependent toxic not-quite-a-polycule. Twice.

Ross Bryant as a demon-worshiping little freak

Ross Bryant as a vengeful lesbian vampire who literally cannot stop being terrifying

Inter-PC yearning dynamics the likes of which could level cities

Not love triangle, not polycule, but secret third thing: love cyclopropane where you're not sure whether the triangle makes the structure more stable or whether it will combust at any moment

Heists, trauma, violence

Did I mention Ross Bryant is terrifying and also hot

Josephine McAdam and Abubakar Salim are also incredibly hot and their characters are insanely compelling (Juliette and Valkos I would die for you)

The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

Critical Role Roll Roundup: The Seekers First Arc

Times rolled: 1010

Average Score: 1.011575903

(Note: The "Score" for each roll is the distance from the average roll - e.g. with no advantage/ disadvantage the average roll of a d20 is 10.5. Rolling an 11 would be a score of 0.5)

Each Player ranked luckiest to unluckiest:

Taliesin: 2.608695652

Alex: 2.461363636

Matthew: 1.741485507

Liam: -0.4075

Marisha: -1.009722222

Alex had a valient run in 1st, but an entirely average last episode meant Taliesin is once again on top. I also find it ammusing that the Schemers table will be comprised of (so far) the luckiest player and the two unluckiest players... and also Luis is here

Thaisha's only Occtis' mom when it makes the bit funnier.

[thewizardconnoisseur]

alex biting all of his pens is deeply real and relatable

[screechfoxes]

I will offer a caveat that it might be that I'm not scared any more because I'm incapable of feeling the feeling.

[cozyhobbit07]

I love Alex and Ashley sitting at the same table. They are so funny to watch because they match each other’s neurodivergent freak. Ribbon eating contest mid battle is top tier table shenanigans.

[rowenwolf]

The thing I love about Occtis is that in the moment, he is razor sharp making quick, decisive decisions. Genuinely badass horrifying stuff and it hits so good!!

And then afterwards he turns into a puddle of anxiety goop being like "ooh God was that ok? Was that cool?" And yes bby boy. It was in fact cool as fuck
