I just wanted to say that I love the Critical Role fandom for many reasons but the current one is the very sharp pivot people did from shipping king Gus with Murray to shipping him with my current fandom husband, Azune, as soon as it was confirmed king Gus is gay

I love Murray and her and Gus are going to be besties hopefully, but beside my obvious love for Arcane Marshall Sad Eyes, I love that we just switched bc it's just irrelevant to ship him with a lady. It's woke in the loveliest way to me. Never change, critters ❤️

I have to give it up for the occtis fans. I didn't see it until this episode (besides the fact that Alex is hot, of course) but the way he controlled and moved the necromantic energies was very hot. We love a competent man in his element.

I have a controversial opinion: it makes sense that Azune induced his own breakdown on episode 27

Like, it's a trauma response, or at least something a traumatised person who learned that his kicked puppy vibe tend to make people take care of himself would do. He feels the loss of power that comes from his upbringing and latch onto the power he can grab, even if it's not totally consciously. That doesn't make him a bad person bc I don't think it comes from maliciousness, but it's definitely a flaw.

Also, that partially why some people perceive him as ftm coded. His whole vibe is seeded with things that are coded feminine in popular culture. That's why he's been my blorbo for the last 27 episodes

Just so we're clear, wicks grandma is definitely going to make him the next occtis, right? She said it when he came back (or at least something leaning heavily towards it). She's going to do it in the meeting of the houses

I really hope he survive, I like this soggy boy

There's really no better than the exquisite pain of finishing to read an incredible fanfic for the first time. Like, crying in the middle of the sex scenes wonderful.

One the one hand, the sense of satisfaction and completion is immense. I just went through an amazing trip and didn't have to leave my living room. The view was breathtaking.

On the other hand, there is grief. Will I think about it and read it again in the future? Absolutely. But I'm never going to read it for the first time again.

I love fanfics with all of my heart and I accept the grief as part of it.

So if you need me, I'll be here, weeping into my phone about The Iron Bull and Cullen and nightmares and vulnerability and bdsm ethics and friendship and faith and self sacrifice and self harm.

Thank you, @not-poignant. The pain was worth it

Rewatching episode 1 and here are some of the unanswered things I still want an answer for

The bracelet Azune used for casting, who did it belong to? I assume his sister but idk

Julia's shadow. What is up with that? I want more details!

The Thimble activation on the box. Why? Who made it act this way and for what purposes?

If you have answers from episodes I forgot, please let me know

Liam O'Brian, once again, playing one of the most shippable, maybe even romancable pcs in CR. We love to see it!

I'm so looking forward to seeing how his relationships develop. He's already wrapped up in the mess to his ears, so it'll be a jucy one for sure
