             NO MORE TRICKS. . . .                                                                  . . . .THAT’S NOT ME

                           Pike Trickfoot  -  Gnome Cleric  -  Champion of Sarenrae  

Private and Mutuals only role play blog for Pike Trickfoot , from Critical Role ; cherished / interpreted by Rue. I have listened to all of campaign one and watched the animated series. I am semi active due to work / life, but I am always mobile bound and discord is open for plotting / shipping / and general interaction. I am very dyslexic, so my formatting is catered mostly to me and no icons ( for now ) will be used on this blog. I am always open to ideas for our muses and relations !! I am very friendly, and please don’t be afraid to interact with me <3

                                                                                                                  *ART CREDIT

*  ADDITION ;            This blog is mostly for friend use only. This does not mean I will not try to interact with others, but it does factor in on whom I reply to the fastest. In the future I may be more open, but I’m putting myself in comfortable quarters regards to the events that have happened around here. I have a lot on my plate and I do not need more over filling it. I am always patient with replies, and won’t pester you for them; but please extend the same courtesy to me! ( unless you are Sun then, I will pester you forever )

* EXCLUSIVES ;            I am mostly more for mains, unless said otherwise. Mains include:

Percival De Rolo ; @nomercied​ 

* ACTIVITY + SHIPPING ;           I am super super low activity. I work 10+ hour days, so my energy is always gone. Please be patient with me. I do my best to do my starter calls and to interact when I can and able. I usually send in asks to initiate interaction and vice versa, since I am mostly mobile bound. I am always willing to discuss plots and ships with chemistry of our muses, but no force shipping please! 

* IMPORTANT BYF ;          This blog will contain heavy religious imagery, discussion, and mentions. This blog will also have NSFW mentions and threads; that includes: sex, drugs, alcohol, etc. Everything will be tagged accordingly and if you needed something tagged a certain way please message me. Basic role play etiquette is used here, please do not use me as a meme farm, and I will softblock/hardblock if you show/are: racist, homophobic, transphobic, post drama ( not tagging ), and do not tag your post accordingly due to triggers.  I do not follow minors, and will only feel comfortable writing with people over 19 since I am of age.

* ABOUT ;          Hi I’m Rue; they/them ! I am 25+ years of age, and I’ve been role playing on tumblr since about 2014. I have other blogs as well, and you are welcome to ask for them if you’d like! I am an artist, and a technician full time, so that’s why my activity is mostly on the weekends. 

More might be added in the future ! Thank you for reading and my discord is open for mutuals!

I am thinking about making a FT verse for Pike since I've been back into that fandom again!

Hi Hi! I am not dead, but I am mostly on @shinebrightlikealion / @startouching <3

Rewatched the sunken tomb and Liam’s face has me in a choke hold.

Take your fate in your hands…

@incendiums​ inquired ( prompt ) ;  [ UNSENT ] ( to Scanlan ):   a letter written for the recipient, but which the writer ultimately never sends for reasons that the writer conceals, or may reveal within the letter itself.

Scanlan,

     This will never be read by you, even when I die. In fact, I have no idea where on Tal'dorei you are ( if you are even on Tal’dorei, that is ). Which leaves this written word useless, but I don’t really give a fuck at this point. 

     Your tantrum caused a lot of chaos between the group, and everyone keeps giving me this pathetic look of pity, that I do not need. I’m happy to know that they knew you meant a lot to me, but I don’t appreciate my identity being linked to yours in this type of strong suit. Am I mad, yes. Do I want to punch you, definitely. Would I do anything to keep you from leaving, absolutely ( to a certain extent ). But, you are your own person, as am I. If this was truly something you desired to do and wanted in your life, I respect that, but to bring it out in such a way wasn’t necessary. To also not include me in this conversation was dead-ass cowardly.

      I think I have every right to be pissed about it, considering the letter you gave me all those months ago. I thought I deserved the courtesy of a reason or a conversation. Maybe I thought I meant more to you. I guess I don’t.

     I hope you find what you are looking for out there with Kaylie. I mean that. Please find it in your heart that you are important to this team, and that your presence is crucial. Without you, most of our team wouldn’t have gotten this far and I don’t know what is coming, but it won’t be the same.

I know Matt played as Pike during Scanlan’s entire spat before leaving, but I refuse to say she was there for it. She took part in reviving Scanlan, but was too late to meet with him, and the others, before he left; due to her duties she was assigned to in Whitestone. So basically, she helped her friend escape death and then never heard from him again for more then a year. She has ever right to be upset with him.

[sarenradiant]

Thoughts on giving Pike a gf?

Just like with any ship, there would have to be a lot of development. I personally do not see her with Keyleth or Vex, but I would be so down to talk and plot about it. With how Pike is, I do think she'd be extremely picky when it comes to relationships and romance, but she has a very particular type in women that I would love to explore with another person I'm comfortable with. Original Characters are included in this mix as well!

[sarenradiant]

just want to put this out there, but I’m a big multishipper and I love Pike with, not only Scanlan, but Percy and Vax too. Thank you yes.

Grog (ft. Pike)

Bonus post today since it’s the last day of TLOVM s2.

I broke the pattern a bit with this one, but the second I drew pouty Grog, I just couldn’t resist adding Pike. His duality is so fun to draw.

[sarenradiant]

@mythcarvd​ inquired ( prompt ) ;     [ UPDATE ]: a letter that updates the recipient on the writer’s life, or certain on-going events that are happening in their life.

Scanlan,

     I’m kind of sick and tired of talking into an ear piece that doesn’t respond, so why am I writing a letter to someone who probably won’t receive it? This is way more effort than it’s worth, but my voice has given out from the stress and anger. I have many complicated feelings about the last few weeks alone, and the letter you gave me some time ago is still clenched inside my armor as kept promise. So it left me thinking, maybe this burden wouldn't feel so heavy if I left you letters of how my life has been without you.

      After you left, I went to Emon to help the people recover and heal. I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing after everything we did to free people from their grasp. Especially since, if I did stay, I could only think about you, and that would get me no where.

     It’s frustrating to see the impact your absence has left as we struggle to survive in battle. The silence of the field is felt and heavy. Yet, a new member has graced the team and brought a sort of arrogant finesse to over season this group. I’ve tried to do what I can to mold him into a piece of our puzzle, but I don’t think anyone can fit where your space was, and I don’t want them to. He has a lot of attributes that remind me of you, but they all fall short in comparison. Though, the talking he does falls only a smidge shorter. And, he even has a robot that follows his ( and my ) every command, which is the only plus I can find for now. 

     It’s not you, and that’s what hurts.

THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA 2x12 | “The Hope Devourer”

[sarenradiant]

@stealthildan​ inquired ( prompt ) ; [ FINAL ]:     a letter written in the aftermath of the recipient’s death, where the writer knows they’ll never get the chance to read it.

Stringbean,

     Out of the two of us, I thought it would be me being the one who went willingly with their God after death. I guess my preaching did more then inspire you to find faith in things, you died for them too. I wanted to tell you how jealous I was, yet it’s too late now. I mean, I built a temple and revived an entire religion, while you just put on a suit of armor, but whatever. As much as I’m giving you shit for it, I couldn’t be more prouder of you and I wish I could have expressed that a little more; though none of us knew how little time we had. I do wish to go back, I wish we could have done everything differently and kept you here. She isn’t my God and as much as I disagree, I respect where she stands and your choice to stand with it. I’m glad you found purpose, despite the circumstances that were hard to swallow.  Not only for you. 

     Vex is in good hands. Percy hasn’t left her side, and they’ve become a pillar of support for each other during their grief. As for Scanlan, he’s wrote many accord of you to keep your memory alive ( enough to never let me forget ). Grog’s, you know, Grog; he doesn’t like to talk about his feelings much, and drowns them out in Ale and food. But, you shouldn’t worry about him, he has his own motives that keep him going.

     Our tree whisperer has been keeping herself very busy as of late. She’s been attending to her people, guiding them where they need to go and be, while gracing us with her presence at the Slayer’s Cake every now and then. Though, she’s been quiet and shuts off when the means of your name come up. We all do. I still think she hurts the most out of the six of us, and trust me, my magic can’t heal whatever is broken. Time is what we need, and with this new era of recovery, we are blessed with it. 

     Now, I’m not really a writer, and Scanlan said I couldn’t just hold my own feelings anymore. I tried everything to avoid doing this, yet reaching this point of the letter has brought me a new sense of clarity and acceptance. Maybe there is a point to written word, or even journaling, but I really don’t want to give Scanlan the satisfaction of being right about yet another thing today. So I’ll leave with this sentiment; when I die, before I leave with the light of Sarenrae, I hope it’s you who shepherds me there.

     - Pickle

[sarenradiant]

little pikelan crumbs I’ve noticed in the series was with the sphinxes. Pike stood up and was the reason they got Osysa to trust them, while with Kamaljiori it was Scanlan who triumphed. Hm! Interesting!

[vethbrenatto]
