Critical Role has literally taken over my life?

Last night I dreamt that I was at a pool party at Sam Riegel’s house. The whole CR crew was there? I met Sam’s wife and kids? And then we went inside after a while and hung out in his living room and Matthew Mercer told us a story? Why can’t all my dreams be like this?

that anon gives you shit for comparing got to a game was really funny omg like grrm himself is a big fan of game metaphors so.... it's not a reach, sis but go outside and take a deep breath.

Hahaaaaa I know right?! Like, of all the things to call a “reach.” I mean just the sheer number of times GRRM makes metaphors between personal/political relations and “playing a game” in AGoT ALONE…

“Rather too well,” Littlefinger said. “I still carry a token of his esteem. Did Brandon speak of me too?”“Often, and with some heat,” Ned said, hoping that would end it. He had no patience with this game they played, this dueling with words.” (Eddard IV, AGoT)

Ned was half-tempted to turn him away, but thought better of it. He was not free yet; until he was, he must play their games. “Show him in, Tom.” (Eddard VIII, AGoT)

“I have made more mistakes than you can possibly imagine,” Ned said, “but that was not one of them.”“Oh, but it was, my lord,” Cersei insisted. “When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.” (Eddard XII, AGoT)

“The eunuch looked at him curiously, tilting his head. “When I was a young boy, before I was cut, I traveled with a troupe of mummers through the Free Cities. They taught me that each man has a role to play, in life as well as mummery. So it is at court. The King’s Justice must be fearsome, the master of coin must be frugal, the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard must be valiant … and the master of whisperers must be sly and obsequious and without scruple. A courageous informer would be as useless as a cowardly knight.” (Eddard XV, AGoT)

“The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends,” Ser Jorah told her. “It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace.” He gave a shrug. “They never are.” (Daenerys III, AGoT)

“Save them,” she said curtly. “I trust you no more than I did before.” She was gone before he could frame a reply. […] Lady Stark could keep her trust; so long as he could keep the axe, he would count himself ahead in the game.“ (Tyrion IV, AGoT)

“If he does not bestir himself soon, it may be too late,” the stout man in the steel cap said. “This is no longer a game for two players, if ever it was. Stannis Baratheon and Lysa Arryn have fled beyond my reach, and the whispers say they are gathering swords around them. The Knight of Flowers writes Highgarden, urging his lord father to send his sister to court. The girl is a maid of fourteen, sweet and beautiful and tractable, and Lord Renly and Ser Loras intend that Robert should bed her, wed her, and make a new queen. Littlefinger … the gods only know what game Littlefinger is playing.” (Arya III, AGoT)

And that’s not even a DENT in the references in AGoT, the list is just getting too absurdly long. And it’s leaving off some truly great quotes from the rest of the series. Honestly, I just HAVE to include these from Sansa’s POVs because it really hones in on her “pawn to player” development…

“And if I should seem cruel or mocking or indifferent when men are watching, forgive me, child. I have a role to play, and you must do the same. One misstep and our heads will adorn the walls as did your father’s.” She nodded. “I understand.” (Sansa II, ACoK)

Lord Petyr loosened a seed with the point of his dagger. “You must miss your father terribly, I know. Lord Eddard was a brave man, honest and loyal… but quite a hopeless player.” He brought the seed to his mouth with the knife. “In King’s Landing, there are two sorts of people. The players and the pieces.” “And I was a piece?” She dreaded the answer.“Yes, but don’t let that trouble you. You’re still half a child. Every man’s a piece to start with, and every maid as well. Even some who think they are players.” He ate another seed. “Cersei, for one. She thinks herself sly, but in truth she is utterly predictable.” (Sansa VI, ASoS)

He even does it in the sneak peak Arianne chapter of TWoW…

“You have other pieces beside the dragon, princess. Try moving them sometime.” (TWoW- Arianne) (which H E L L O i forgot all about that quote… we might have to put a ~pin~ in that one!)

It is one of the most pervasive ongoing motifs in the series. He refers to life and politics as “the great game” and to people as “pieces,” and “pawns,” and “players” CONSTANTLY. Not only that, but he also specifically created his fictional world’s own strategic board game that he has explicitly stated was inspired by chess (x). Even the ending goal of cyvasse, while stated in the inverse, is the exact same as chess: to kill the king. (Tyrion VI, ADwD).

And then, on top of all of that, add on the fact that the show gives us a teaser that is clearly (at least imo) depicting pieces moving across a game board…

But yeah. I’m the wasting my time and making shit up and misunderstanding everything… Obviously.

Sure Jan.

Okay two things here: 1. There is no possible way you're almost 50. 2. What made you think it was a good decision to go from looking mostly like a Wizard to looking like a Witch? (FB verse!)

Envy isn’t a good look, but I’m in a decent enough mood that I’ll humour you.

1. Unless I somehow managed to forge my own records--and you can verify them, they are public records, after all--I was born 7, Aug., 1886. That would mean, if you’re referring to the last two photographs that were taken in 1933, that I am, in fact, “almost 50.”

While there are bits and bobs of magic involved that keep me looking a little younger than I am, it’s mostly the fact that I work long hours in windowless locations so I don’t often see direct sunlight if I see sunlight at all.

Decent application of cosmetics (or a little glamour) will cover a multitude of sins as well, though that’s obviously not permanent. Good at keeping me looking like I sleep regularly, if nothing else.

2. I don’t look the way I look for anyone else’s approval. I’m content with how I look and if you’re not, I’d suggest you look in a different direction, because there’s not a single thing you could say to me that would make me not content with how I look.

Your opinion on the matter isn’t exactly relevant and it’s not my fault mirrors crack when you pass by.

At least, that’s what I assume happens if you’re bitter enough to take a verbal swing at someone else’s looks.
