If I had a nickel for every time a CR cast member was giving birth as a PC died I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice….

Rewatching the seekers talegate and just realised that Aabria was fighting for her life to keep the pillow in front of her stomach, and Ashley put one in front of herself as well so she wasn’t alone. God I love female friendships.

I have been working on this ever since this scene happened early on. The way Aabria described coming out of the wolf form was so sick i immediately knew i had to put pen to “paper”. I hope I did her the justice she deserves 🥺

Something I think about a lot is the hundreds of ttrpg horror stories, and how the despicable people who those stories are about are still allowed to consume and have opinions on actual plays. It’s why I take many bad faith opinions with a grain of salt because some people are really throwing boulders from a glass house.

#critical role #campaign 4 #dimension 20 #It’s why the whole I’m allowed to have any opinion doesn’t fly with me #unless I know u IRL at the end of the day ur opinion is an internet opinion so holds less weight

I think that if everyone loves and thinks every character is good from the first few episodes of an actual play with 13 PCs, then the players are doing something wrong. We’ve lost the art of a character arc because people want fully fleshed out, unflawed and matured characters whose only complexity comes from a tragic backstory

#critical role #campaign 4 #literally I could talk about this for hours #How the only acceptable complexity to a fanbase is trauma #and not deep and nuanced flaws #And this is not a dig at the players who understand this #more so at an audience who can only consume superficial media

“Do you want me to destroy you?”

OH EDDIE AND KATIE, YOU MAKE ME SICKKKKKK

Rewatching Burrow’s end to feel something again because med school exams are turning me into a zombie. And I saw this bit that made me grin because a memory deep in the back of my mind triggered. It’s as they say all GMs learn from one another.

#aabria iyengar #burrow’s end #dimension 20 #kollok #zac eubank #Kollok all the way down #But actually rewatching burrow’s end is actually the best #I need to see it twice to appreciate the beauty even more #It’s family it’s complex it’s story telling at its finest #Dropout I need season 2 for mental health reasons #Also in like five years maybe they’ll give us a kollok reunion ep #Bc it’s crazy and the plot is so complex but it’s just so funny #The hyper RPG simply have to help produce a D20 season #bc some of their effects were so cool and unique and no actual play has done it since #like wdym a player in a retro tv and a full human model #anyways I’m losing the point #sidebar #And Aabria in the back saying u have to ask

Brennan always talks about how Aabria is the biggest assist a GM can have. And I have NEVER seen it more clear than in this moment in ep 5 of C4. MVP behaviour. Picked up the cue immediately and effortlessly slotted in a reminder for Alex.

#critical role #campaign 4 #cr spoilers #aabria iyengar #brennan lee mulligan #and she didn’t even break a sweat #one of the greatest assist I’ve ever seen

Guys are we all just pretending that Wealwell isn’t about the become evil in the last few episode or…

1. He has spoken about expanding the Gotch name multiple times and it’s been brushed off

2. He’s shown he is willing to kill his brother as a bit that I feel like is not actually a bit

3. Pappy is already onto him and Brennan probably for the lols will give into making Wealwell evil for Zac

4. He’s shown moments of extreme consciousness and I mean by this at random points he gets super serious and shows he’s really competent

5. He is surprisingly skilful in standing and that begs the question what else

6. He disappears or doesn’t speak for a long time and it’s ignored

And number 7 and arguably the most important he’s wearing fancy striped pants.

WAKE UP PEOPLE, WE’VE PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE

Ugh I guess I have to apologise to Weawell and all of the stans that came with him. Until Marya’s Nat 20 insight I didn’t really understand him but after I’ve come to the conclusion that he is just so…solid.

#cloudward ho #and so what if I was wrong #dimesnion 20 #SUE ME #in all honesty I really do love Weawell #I think it’s just that I don’t trust Brennan to let us be happy

Clock Aabria and Travis. The reaction corner lives and they unlocked telepathy.

#aabria iyengar #travis willingham #critical role #campaign 4 #reaction corner #they’re best friends your honor #the friends of all time #We aren’t gonna see them together for months but we were fed in ep 3

Aabria Iyengar at character creation:

#critical role #campaign 4 #aabria iyengar #liam o'brien #ex spouses #Famously the WBYN crew will never abandon a bit #I already know this is gonna be an emotional backstory #pregnant at 19 and I abandoned the kids #nice sneak Aabria #They seem amicable but I don’t trust it #I’ve been an Aabria will have another ex truther from day 1

Watching C4 right now, and Aabria has triggered one of my ptsd responses by reminding me of my greatest heartbreak:

#aabria iyengar #campaign 4 #critical role #jon champion #decima iudex aquila #garavellir viraan #I don’t know if that’s the same piece #but either way my fight or flight immediately kicked in #they will haunt me

My favourite thing is that Matt talks about Julien the way Aabria talks about Suvi. We’re in for a good one.

#aabria iyengar #critical role #campaign 4 #matt mercer #ugh this is my favourite genre of character #the character everyone thinks is an asshole but the player will defend to the death #watched an interview where Matt said he didn’t think Julien was shitty #a day later CR released an entire video of how everyone thinks he’s shitty #worlds beyond number

I know we’re all speculating and making our wishes known for Critical Role campaign 4, so I might as well throw mine in.

I need Aabria to play the most mortally grey character she’s ever played in her life. I need her to make me question the loyalty I have for all of her PCs.

I need her to give Laerryn and Suvi haters a STROKE.

I need Decima level mind games, with Laerryn level genius, Suvi level justifications, Karna level sneakery and Katie level intimidation. I need THE most complicated women. I need the entire table gasping in shock and admiration.

And I need this medically.

So apparently we’ve been thrown a curveball ball with Thaisha…and I don’t trust it. Not one bit. There’s gonna be some deep rooted trauma, or nefarious backstory. There is no way we’re were let off easy with JUST a crunchy granola mum. I’m watching you Thaisha.

#critical role #campaign 4 #Thaisha #also i need her romancing everyone #got my eyes on you

I love that Aabria started calling Travis a Furry long before the internet had even see his character and did as well. She really is one of us.

#aabria iyengar #critical role #campaign 4 #Pretty weak intervention is this is what he ended up with #Her mind stays in the tumblr gutter
