Shrimp Thimble before Mermay is over

Do you remember when we first met? I don't remember everything about the people where I come from, but I do remember some stuff, and I know that we believe that people die multiple times and that the final death is when you're forgotten, and I want you to remember me, like the boy you first met. I want to be remembered as who I was before I killed anybody. Before I became a liar.

I don’t think anyone at Critical Role knows what the word “nonce” actually means.

CRITICAL ROLE MEME ☆ [4/8] members of the Mighty Nein ⇨ Fjord

Why didn’t we just go talk? I feel like we’ve abandoned the use of—here’s my thing, right? Magic’s new to me, this sword is new to me. I didn’t have most of this all my life. All I had was my words to get out of situations, to try and heal conflict, to try and outsmart somebody. Now, all of a sudden, I have this power and I feel like it’s a shortcut and that I’ve been cheating myself. I don’t feel like I’ve put forth the same effort to resolve something because I can just will something into happening. That doesn’t seem right to me.

is this ship popular because it’s legitimately compelling or is it popular because it’s the easiest to decontextualize and write college roommate AUs about?

[starbuck]

this post broke containment and is getting ‘let people have fun and enjoy things’ comments, so i want to clarify that i hate fun and want to personally bludgeon everyone who has ever written a college roommate AU with a hammer

I really like that Thaisha's Druid magical abilities are somewhat innate. Or maybe it's better to say - I like the narrative that is opened up for Thaisha by making her magic a call to adventure that she'd been shutting the door on for the first 20 or so years of her life.

I think there can be this idea that Druids, because they are wisdom casters, and because they are some associations with the ideas of Druid being more connected to the 'natural world' are all possessed of a specific type of wisdom.

But Thaisha was never planning on being a Druid, at 19 she fully thought she was going to be a jewelry maker. She was the family baby (at least in her immediate family).

She is capable of great wisdom, and kindness and compassion. She's also capable of being a little gossipy and reckless and having blindspots just like anyone else.

I like that it's a choice!

It's a choice to try and fix the world!

It's a choice to try and extend understanding to Vaelus and Julien!

It's also a choice when she does not extend that understanding.

There is no innate Druidness that she was born with that makes her a caretaker, or a diplomat, or a peace maker or a warrior. Those things are part of her being a Druid because they are a part of the person she has built herself to be, but we've seen that there's very different types of Druids out there.

I just love that this is not a story about a wiser than their years 20 year old who is naturally capable of (and naturally good at) all of these things. This is a story about someone at 40 years old who has been working to make themselves into this Druid and is still working, is still improving and learning about her own shortcomings and deciding to make new choices.

Thaisha Lloy's story is about Change and Reinvention all the way down, for herself, for the Orcs, and for the world of Aráman.

I appreciate Brennan’s approach to character and I agree that people are multi-faceted and seeing the multiplicity of their relationships gives the viewer a more complete picture of who they are, and people are complex, driven by bias and ego and anxiety, and heroic vs villainous motivations are rarely simple or straightforward.

However.

The player characters who actively dislike Thjazi at the beginning of the campaign are:

1. The biggest asshole you’ve ever met.

2. A person he stole from.

3. Murder mask.

So. I feel like this should be part of our assessment when analyzing his character, generally speaking.
