lines from vox machina that took me out instantly and still live rent-free in my head
"Percival. Sweet Percival."
"your sister lives, Percival"
"Do you think this is what mother saw before she died?"
"It’s going to be all right. Pike is here, it’s going to be all right, it’s going to be all right. Gil?"
"take me instead you raven bitch"
"You are a good person and I have always seen that. Please see it, please. Oh god, my heart is breaking."
"I do not work in wood. I am not brave enough for that. There is a comfort in iron, a promise of safety, a second chance if mistakes are made. But a city is more a forest than a sword. No, it needs more tending than that. Perhaps a city is like a garden, then."
"sometimes breaking is making, even iron can start again, and there are many things that move through fire and find themselves much better for it afterward."
"I love you. If I can find you, I will. If not, stay alive."
I hear the voice of my mother in the morning. “Fuck you.”
"but if he's gone forever I won't be the same"
"I was gonna ask you what your mother’s name is." / "It was Juniper." / "I’m sorry I didn’t know that."
"Well that's just it. I'm a really good liar."
"all we found of her was her leg" / "that means she's still alive"
I think back to Percy's workshop in Greyskull Keep. And I say "I love you too."
"I have a feeling she's pulling our fate strings, anyway. ...mine's connected to yours. Where you go, I go."
"I am here because I have completed my Aramente, and I have come for my blessing." / "Yes, you have. I just wanted to hear it from your lips."
"You look like mother right now. You do."
"And I thought that was it. I had ruined it. But before dawn, she came back, she unrolled her bedding, and she went to sleep, and woke up the next morning and said "what's for breakfast, Dad?"
"Promise me you'll come back with me, no matter what." / "I promise."
"I thought you died. I watched you die." ... "It's a trick. It's a trick of the feywild."
He's physical. He's cold. But he's there.
"Look. Look at me. Just remember. Whatever happens, remember me. That's all that's important."
"I remember. (softer) I remember. See? It's all up here. So whatever happens, keep me there. All right?"
"She'll probably outlast you, but while you're around, keep her company for me?"
"What if there comes a day when I don't even recognize the name Vox Machina anymore?"
"And you- you're not going anywhere."
"Is that my girl? Is that my baby girl?"
I grab Kaylie by the face and I say to her: "Goodbye."
"Bless. Shaun! It was an honor knowing you."
"Forever and ever and always." I steal what I assume is my last kiss.
I'm going to use a bonus action to look over my shoulder and see everyone that I know. I'm going to see my sister and her husband. I'm going to see the woman that I love. I'm going to see Grog. I'm going to see Arkhan. I'm going to see my friend Scanlan.
You all take a moment to imagine what you've lost, what you've gained. Everything has led to this moment. And in the quiet and the stillness, you hear a new sound. It's thousands and thousands of distant voices cheering from the city of Vasselheim below. Of wyvern and eagle riders above you. But a small example of the hundreds of thousands of lives you may have saved.
I walk to step in between. / In between the two of them? / Yes.
"I'm not ready." / "You're ready for your people." / " Not without you."
"I'm going to go visit my mother, and I'll see all of you again."
"Thank you for trying." / "I wish I could have done more." / "You did everything"
"I never had a greater friend than you."
"I feel like she's taking part of me away." / "I will bring it with me to remind me of you."
"I don't know how to live."
I use the druid cantrip Druidcraft and grow snowdrops out from where I stand, out to all of my family. Out to where they stand. "S.H.I.T.s, thank you. How lucky I have been to have had all of you. How lucky, indeed. Thank you."
In the darkness of her cloak, you see a brief light, and it's brighter for you. As you walk forward, you see reaching from the light the dark hair, the fair skin, and the wide smile of your mother, Elaina. As she greets you, she says, “I'm so proud.”
"I still count you as my sister." / "As I count you as mine. Going to have to look out for each other now." / "Yes."
"I think I really miss my family."
"I think we're all broken, Percy." / "I'm so tired of hurting people."
"The brightest and the darkest. To Vax."
"I think the most free I've ever been is with you."
"I think we should rebuild the families that we've lost." / "There's so many names."
"I don't have to appreciate this. Especially not after what I've seen. But I do." / "You need to." / "Only because of what I've seen."
