FCG: Maybe you should save it for someone who needs it though, is what I’m saying.

Deanna: I did.

I will say on re-watching the episode I think a thing that got a little obscured after it first streamed is that Deanna and F.R.I.D.A don't actually agree completely on either the resurrection or the gods. Deanna is definitely having trouble adjusting to being alive again but it's F.R.I.D.A who calls it selfish. Who believes that it is unjust that she was brought back.

And I think that the implication of disagreement there is because I do think Deanna would understand why she was brought back. She doesn't sound angry when she says her husband kept a promise. When she's angry she can be a bit passive aggressive: see 'I didn't get a carved anything' or 'I can't see why he couldn't raise the kids.' She talks about the promise the same way she talks about dying. It happened, what's done is done. I think ultimately Deanna is just someone who's only had a year or two to adapt to come back from an existence that was fundamentally different to a life that is gone (or at least irreversibly changed).

Which is also the reason that she clings to the magic of the Dawnfather. I think as much as Deanna believed the gods may be seperate from the afterlife- she has to connect them very strongly with life. A cleric, a healer, someone who was literally brought back from the dead. F.R.I.D.A's take on the gods makes sense for me as a Aeormaton. They weren't created by the Gods. Regardless of whether the Gods love the beings they created or not- F.R.I.D.A is removed from that equation altogether. And even thinking of the beings that did create F.R.I.D.A - in theory there was no love there. F.R.I.D.A was made to fulfill a purpose. Being turned off was probably the first time since they were created that they were free of that purpose. To them not having to perform a function is equivalent to rest and peace.

I like the way Christian Navarro plays F.R.I.D.A it reminds me of Dorfl from Feet of Clay

CR3 Quick Reacts - EP52

[thegoblinwizard]

I love when D&D reaches the point where you can do “the fun stuff”. Like flying through a snowy landscape.

Just some fun with silhouettes inspired by Critical Role campaign 3 episode 52. Not the most amazing art but fun nonetheless.

may i just say—all the cr3 guests and guest characters? exquisite. would die for any of them. they’re all so fucking intriguing and dear to me. dorian is so beloved to the community we all jump at the chance to possibly see him again. i’m still rooting for a yu redemption arc because their dynamic with fearne was so good. deanna and frida are such incredibly wonderful characters with intriguing stories and they truly feel like kindred spirits of the hells. appreciation post for the guests—robbie, erika, aabria, and christian—who just come and give 110%. y’all made me cry. fucking damn you’re good
