literally the stowaway is the best episode of critrole, prove me wrong. you have:
- murder plotting detectives turning on their new adorable best friend
- fjord being a dumbass everywhere
- first mate beau who alone does not fall madly in love with twiggy at first sight
- caleb ignoring a mimic battle because books
- beau trying to ignore the battle because she doesnāt care, then changing her mind
- cad finding ladders to find
- fjord continuing to be a dumbass
- twiggy adding a lot of fun and also forcing characters to engage differently which is always a plus since by now theyāre all very comfortable with their dynamics (plus twiggy is great)
- āiām all aloneā/ādo you disengage?ā āno.ā/sudden hard fucking turn into angst
- beau and cad
- caleb and nott
- fjord stop touching shit jesus
- literally the perfect episode
-caleb deciding he likes twiggy purely because she likes his cat
-caleb abandoning books to save his friends
-Jester using her duplicate to help fight the mimic while she continued to try to figure out how to help Fjord
-The Traveler showing up to assure Jester heās always with her
-Beau not liking Twiggy at first but then apologizing for being rude
-Fjord being a dumbass but self aware about it
-āI apologiiiiiizeā
-Nott and Jester going from suspicious of Twiggy to living Twiggy in like three seconds
-Twiggy kissing Caleb on the cheek
-still sad we didnāt get to see Caleb under Tashaās Hideous Laughter, but we have the mental image now
-Caleb and Beau blowing Twiggy a goodbye kiss
-Twiggy taking down an adult blue dragon with a natural 20
How cool is it though that weāve got a fantasy narrative with a main character who is a mom, motivated to get back to her kid? There are plenty of stories about dads going full badass to protect their family, or get back to their family, or save their family from danger, and now between Nott and Nila, weāve got two moms, very different from eachother, who are in different situations where they had to save their families.Ā
Itās pretty rare to see parents-as-main-characters in general in fantasy adventure-type stories, but especially moms. Generally a mom is a support character, or part of a backstory, and often dead, for that matter. The perspective of a mother isnāt often explored, nor her inner life or complexities beyond what directly relates to her children, the actual main characters. And that isnāt because being a mom is some small thing, it doesnāt lessen a person to be a mom - it is simple territory rarely explored in fiction, and often overlooked or taken for granted.
But with Nila and Nott, we have stories about mothers going on adventures! We see their struggles, unique to them as parents, as mothers, playing out over the course of their journeys. We see their love for their kids as a powerful driving force, and the complex interplay of other emotions associated with that love as they are put through their different trials: rage, heartache, grief, fear, anxiety, hope.Ā
And thereās also so many other facets of their personalities and characters! Nilaās smell bag, her identity as a firbolg, her clan, her feeling that she was rather inferior compared to most of her clan and could only be trusted with growing moss contrasting with the call to adventure she experienced when so much of her clan was kidnapped, including her partner and her son, her lack of experience with society outside of her clan, her spiritual beliefs, her connection to nature.
And Nott! She steals things sometimes for survival, or because something will be helpful, but itās also a compulsion. Her hatred of goblins, her fear of judgement for her appearance, her anxiety and fearfulness. Her alcoholism as an unhealthy coping method for her anxieties and fears, and Iād hazard a guess as a way to push past the heartache of being separate from her family. Her quick temper, her weird habits. Her dislike for being condescended to. Her sense of humor, which she plays off wonderfully with so many of The Mighty Nein, but Jester in particular. Her love of making shit explode, her talent for tinkering and alchemy.
Itās just so cool, in my fine opinion, to have this story unfolding with a long-term character that is a mom, motivated by getting back to her family, with so many other elements and complications in that narrative, and to have a shorter story with Nila saving her family as well.
Having moms, who yes are supportive of the others around them, but also have their own story to tell, and to see mother-child relationships from the perspective of the mothers, is justā¦ā¦really damn cool.Ā
And with Nott especially in such a long form narrative, to see a mom who is a flawed person, because mothers are people, and all people are flawed, although often mothers-as-support-characters are often regulated to wonderful saints who exist only to support their children.Ā
But with Nott, we see those virtues of a loving heart, taking care of the other party members, and also trying to balance the struggle between her goals and getting back to her family, and her growing care for the group. Her fears and anxieties heightening to such an edge that she lashes out at the people closest to her. Her brand of love for Caleb often veering into over-praise and putting others down, and not always being healthy for the two of them. Her aspirations for Caleb growing more powerful so he can change her so she can return to her other family sometimes conflicting with what would be in the groupās best interest, or Calebās best interests. We see her turning to alcohol near-constantly just to muster up the courage to go on adventures.Ā
And weāve seen her make huge sacrifices: killing a manticore baby, taking an attack of opportunity, pushing past her phobia of water. And killing that manticore baby - she knew more than anyone else there how pissed that manticore would be at her, she knew more than anyone else exactly what she was doing and how big of a sacrifice she was making.
āA baby should be with its mother.ā
fjord: hĀ
nott:
One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. The lake froze solid and the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban.

My boyfriend just woke up, mostly still asleep and told me ādonāt worry, itās getting betterā in a heavy, American accent, which is unusual for an Australian man.
āWhy are you American?ā I asked, to which I got:
āSorry, itās getting betterā in a stereotypical posh English accent.
āWhy are you English?ā I asked, amused.
āWhat is he normally?ā He managed to ask.
āHe? Youāre not anyone else, youāre you.ā
āUgh, meā was the last thing he said, in a right proper Aussie accent before he fell back into proper sleep.
Bitch just thwarted a ghost possession by judging his accents
My boyfriend would be gettinā hit with the baseball bat beside our bed if he ever woke up and said,Ā āWhat is he normally?ā about himself.
Then you would NOT have liked the time he pointed to a corner of our room while he was sleeping and said āthey share a dimension with Earth and they take cats to eat themā.
I absolutely do not like that.
I love people who talk in their sleep.
One of the funniest things I ever experienced was when I went to go see John Mulaney live, and halfway through a bit about how expensive college in the States is, he looked down at the sleeve of his suit jacket and just. stopped. dead halt, mid sentence.
And after like three seconds, where weāre all trying to figure out the punchline because the story clearly hadnāt ended, and John Mulaney quietly says,Ā āHas there been tinfoil on my buttons the whole goddamn show?ā
Heād taken his suit to the drycleaner, and theyād wrapped the buttons on the sleeves and the coat with tinfoil to protect them, and John Mulaney didnāt notice until half-way through his set, and was SO FLABBERGASTED that he never did finish the story about college and instead did five minutes on how stupid it was that his buttons were reflecting the light and he just didnāt notice, and in that moment I understood more about John Mulaney as a person than I ever have.
during one of his portland shows, he noticed this like 7 year old girl in the front row and asked her (and her parents) if she āis aware that she is physically here right nowā or if she was just brought along. turns out her favorite john mulaney bit is theĀ āand Iām new in townā bit and that sheās seen all his stuff. He was so shocked and discomforted by the fact a SEVEN YEAR OLD has seen his shows, that he couldnāt get through a bit about donating to charity without interrupting himself at least three times to import good life lessons on this small child, as if that makes up for all the horrible things heās said that she heard
When I saw him in Ft. Lauderdale, there was a bar in the lobby that people kept leaving to go to. At one point, a guy in the front row just got up and BOOKED IT to get drinks. John Mulaney looked over at a woman who was next to the empty seat and asked,Ā āAre you with him? Whatās his name?ā
She was, in fact, with him, and she did tell him her dateās name. John Mulaney considered this, looked around, and unplugged his microphone. Leaning in to us, he told us that we were going to trick this guy so fuckin hard. He said,Ā āAt some point during the show, I am going to stop and say,Ā āWell, you guys know what they say here in Ft. Lauderdale,ā and then you guys are all going to scream backĀ āWE LOVE MILKSHAKES!ā Heāll be so confused.ā
He then continued on with the show as normal, the drinks guy returned to his seat, and that was that for quite a long time. We thought he had forgotten about it until, at some point during what I believe was his McDonaldās drive-thru bit, he shrugged his shoulders and said,Ā āYou guys know what they say here in Ft. Lauderdaleā¦ā
Naturally, we erupted withĀ āWE LOVE MILKSHAKESā and John Mulaney SWUNG around to face the drinks guy and said,Ā āI bet youāre real confused now, huh, JASON?!ā
ah so john mulaney is a chaotic neutral cryptid
i saw him last night and there was a good ten minute interlude where a woman told him everything she found wrong with his suit, including that his pants were too high waisted to which he replied āthatās where my hips areā and someone in the back shouted ālook at that high waisted man heās got feminine hips!ā and he yelled back āthatās my joke! iām offended!!ā
No. Why not? Because Iāll break your heart. Maybe Iāll break yours.
Got VERY inspired in August, heard this song, My Friends by Oh Wonder, and felt I had to make something. This is my first ever animatic, Iām very proud that I completed it! Been working on it evenings and weekends since August, and finally itās done!
A Critrole + Mollymauk tribute.Ā
Fat Critical Role season 2 spoilers up until you know, Molly..Ā
Hope you like it!
OP you are amazing but also fuck you, no matter how many times I watch this I cry.Ā
Honestly I think the frame that hits me hardest is this one.Ā
Shows how Molly stood so tall and died so bravely in a situation where he never really had a chance. But he didnāt let that stop him trying to help his friends.Ā
OP you are an artistic genius and I truly hope you are moved to do more animatics in future, this is one of the best Iāve ever seen.
But also fuck you Iām in pain.
Yo if weāre talking about are favorite famas
Here we see molly finding his golden sword. There in a dank dark cave, and the sword in question is little more then dectitive. Yet he stands there with it looking like a fucking king.
OP I love you
