New Game of Thrones episode! We are getting towards the end of this book and I’m excited to keep reading!

In this video we meet two evil old men, and talk to one kind old man.

you can’t call something a crackship if they have multiple scenes together and insane sexual tension. not even if only a few people ship them. that’s just a rarepair. the line must be drawn here.

“crackship” is for when he-man cheats on skeletor with sans at the skeleton family reunion

STOP CENSORING SUBTITLES/TRANSCRIPTS/CLOSED CAPTIONS

LET DEAF AND NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE READ “FUCK”

[eroticcannibal]

I know this sounds jokey and funney but I am serious and it is ableist and infantilising and inaccessible so stop

Actually, 'Zelda' is the name of the princess. The guy who runs around smashing everyone's pots is just called 'Zelda's monster'.

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

I must admit it is kind of funny to see people shy away from Occtis pulling rank, like...Alex actually did look down the barrel of the camera more than once and directly say "just because Occtis wasn't well-accepted by his family doesn't mean he wasn't raised with all the privilege and entitlement someone in the direct line of succession for House Tachonis would be; he has never really unlearned that." I mean it's fair if you don't like the character for it, but I think a fairly important truth about the Seekers table in particular is that, more so than any other table they are united by grief (though for four different people), and, as I've said before, not taking orders.

I think it's a great choice for Occtis to do this for a few reasons. As someone who has little patience for fandom woobification and no interest in being nice to a character just because bad things happened to them, as they are pretend and have no feelings to be hurt, it does make my life in fandom a little easier if neither Occtis nor Julien can reasonably be treated as "perfect guy who is sad and had bad things happen to him and did nothing wrong in his life ever." The second is that I think the power dynamics of the Sundered Houses on both a broad political level and an individual level are incredibly important to the story being told, and showing them is a good thing. On some level, the point of Gaya Seremai being fired doesn't work if Occtis isn't like this. I also think that while Occtis had one time hoped his family would let him, as he said, fade into obscurity, the fact that he was killed specifically for being a Tachonis makes it feel very fitting and natural that he is, in fact, a Tachonis.

I would also note that this is not remotely new, and I am side-eyeing the fact that it only began to give people pause when directed at Julien (who is not remotely shy about using his own, slightly lesser authority, as he sees fit). Setting aside any of his less than sweet behaviors that don't tie specifically into his position as a member of a powerful Sundered House, of which there are several, Occtis has not hesitated to attempt to seize control of his own house guards at Schongarten, and he both defended Gaya Seremai's actions (as did Julien; again, they both see the Sundered House/Vassal system as completely natural and normal) and then assumed authority over her. He did die alongside the members of House Royce and Davinos; but unlike the surviving member of House Davinos, he does not particularly wish the others of House Tachonis to die in return. Aranessa's wish to Occtis is that they both restore their houses, and he does not disagree. Regardless of whether the story ultimately is about finding how the Sundered Houses can more amenably fit into this new world, or whether it is about their dismantling, at this point, Occtis is not just comfortable within the system but indeed enforces and defends it, and always has.

I love all the new people who are now finding Alexander Ward through CR 4. I have seen people comment on how expressive he is, how in character he is and just overall really enjoying his preformance, to that I say, WELCOME TO THE CLUB! Alex is such a fun actor to watch and I am glad more people are discovering him. If anyone is looking for more Alex TTRP content here are a few recommendations!

Also with Critical Role, Candela Obscura Crimson Mirror

LA by Night, Vampire: The Masquarade TTRP (DND but Vampires) (Also features Luis! Aka Azune! as well as Matt, Brennan, Taliesin and Marisha as side stars)

NY by Night, Vampire: The Masquarade TTRP (also features Aabria!)

Private Nightmares, also VTM but with Alex as a DM! (also has Aabria and Luis!)

He has also been in some other older Critical Role campaigns! And Sam and Liams "All Work, No Play!"

I want everyone following this blog who do not watch Critical Role to know that the current campaign has a sect of paladins that are people reincarnated into dogs. They speak in outrageously posh accents and cast healing by slobbering all over people.

the dynamics at the different tables are going to kill me it’s so funny

schemers: all know each other and are generally friendly at least, all in it together in seven layers of an espionage plot

seekers: shakespearean level drama, everyone distrusts each other, everyone wants something from occtis and he’s unsure if he’s capable of wanting anymore

soldiers: looney tunes bullshit, three ex best friends reconnecting for the first time in years, a demon and this asshole who is the universe’s favourite

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
