"The mountains and peaks shaped by the loving hands of the All-Hammer. What a world he made…"

Brennan said this story was meant to be a love letter to Matt and it truly feels like it. Here is my little ode to Exandria and its maker.

10 years of Critical Role, 10 years of this story, shaped by many loving hands. What a journey it all is -- and I'm so happy to be a small part of it to this day!

Also Divergence truly destroyed me. The hope, the struggle, the power of the many in the face of evil. The meaning in creation, creativity, and hard work... a a a aa

Fellas it’s that time of day again

For what

[pukicho]

Every morning, a beam of pure light fires into my toilet seat. I believe this has some religious implications. I feel closer to God when this happens.

#I just want to see Imogen happy

[stickandthorn]

Hearing the juicy juicy stuff going down in stream, and I gotta say. Besides me loving it. A guy named Braius Doomseed who openly worships the Evil Guy God Who Likes To Lie and Trick People for Evil Reasons. Tricks and lies to the party??? Played by SAM, master of folding an amazing other-shoe-drop that was actually so obvious in hindsight but somehow not expected into a character? Florals? In spring? Groundbreaking.

Long May He Reign // The Red End

[revvethasmythh]

sorry, i was just having the funniest conversation with my friend about if the matron became mortal and got raised by her champion again, like if vax returned and then raised her like purvan, and it gave me truly the funniest mental image of a vaxleth happy ending only keyleth now has to raise the goddess she loathed, like we've been laughing about this for ten minutes straight

[revvethasmythh]

like, listen. keyleth has to raise the matron as her daughter. within her lifetime, the matron will grown up, live, and die to become the matron again (who knows what's going to happen to vax, don't ask). centuries and centuries later, when keyleth finally dies, she returns to the arms of her daughter who is the matron, who is the goddess she hated and someone she might have grown to love, and they are both each other's mothers and both each other's daughters, in a way. as a concept, there is Juice here

Something about how both Hong Hee-joo and Baek Sa-eon are professional communicators, with him being the Presidential spokesperson and her a sign language interpreter, but fail to communicate with each other...yeah.

[soath]

biting and gnashing my teeth over the vampiric sterility of the gods in Downfall. they are flash-frozen at the moment they came into this world, the moment all their infinity congealed into singularity. asmodeus is always enraged and burning, obsessed with family. sarenae cannot be anything but a soothing comfort, pelor a guiding light. melora is the yearning, hungry wild, forever eating itself, forever innovating. erathis is the laws of physics that keep her limited, and the laws of reciprocity that keep the scales equal. corellon is the beauty and kord is the storm and torog is the weeping flesh. they can’t be anything else! imagine being stuck forever in the moment of your greatest grief—no wonder pelor believes their brother wanted to die. death was all he could think about for thousands of years.

it captures so perfectly my favorite implicit horror of godhood; the nightmare of being two dimensional. gods are born a perfect epitome of their domain and they die the same way. they can be people too but it’s a flat kind of personhood, the personhood of clowns, of archetypes, of monsters.
