Where did you find the Talks? I’d love to watch them again for C2.

If you go to the talks machina page on the fandom wiki, next to each episode there's a VOD link that'll take you to an archived version of them. i literally just found this last night, so idk if there's a better way to access them, but that's what i've found!

For the ask game: 13 and 17!

13. worst blorboification

this is a setup. we know my answer to this. there are not words to describe the depth of my fiery hatred for some of the essek takes i see on here. he did not do all that because his mommy was mean to him. he also did not and will not ever be "good" in the way of being kind and gentle and remorseful about everything he ever did.

you don't redemption arc a villain by having them repent for their sins via community service. villains can't just. file down their fangs and put on a kitchen apron and pretend to be a well-adjusted member of society with a husband and a garden and a research job. he's never going to swear to never turn a person inside-out again. he wouldn't flinch if he had to, i dunno, do open-heart surgery on a very awake and aware patient. the kitchen apron has tomato sauce stains on it. he planted mint in the garden four years ago, not knowing that it spreads as wildly as it does, and still keeps finding new growth after he thinks he's ripped it all out. sometimes he hates the mighty nein for everything they took from him. wouldn't you miss being so powerful? choosing kindness is exhausting and sometimes he doesn't. sometimes he and caleb fight. sometimes one or both of them are out on seperate missions for a long time and that's okay. he's still proud and angry and ruthless.

tl;dr essek didnt do all that because his mommy was mean to him and he didn't get aaaall betterrrrr because the m9 were niceys to him. get real. they gave him a glimpse of what it looks like to actually live, an ultimatum and a bit of help on where to start, and sometimes he wishes that that volstrucker girl had actually managed to kill caleb. the venom in his veins has a very long half-life. that's okay. it's keeping him alive. do u get it. do u get it

17. there should be more of this kind of fic/art

what the fuck happened to whump fics, guys. what happened. what happened. bring it back. i need that character bleeding out on the ground. get real

Give us the spice! 💀

💀: If you had to choose one major character to die, who would you choose?

Ooooh boy, unfortunately I have a very immediate answer, and that’s Laudna. She feels stagnant to me, and I’m so disinterested in a Delilah plot line that I wouldn’t care if I never got to see how that unfolded. I just feel like she’s been at odds with the story for a long time, whereas the other characters all eventually found a way to personally connect to the main plot. I think Marisha could make a much more compelling, mechanically rewarding, and plot relevant character now. Also, to be honest, I think it would be a really interesting direction for Imogen’s character arc. So, as it stands, Laudna would be my top pick.

🔥 Any about the critical role books: Kith & Kin, The Nine Eyes of Lucien, or the non-fiction re: cast.

The only one of these I've read is The Nine Eyes of Lucien and I don't know how popular this is, but: I liked The Nine Eyes of Lucien a lot and wasn't, to be honest, expecting to; and I think the vast majority of hate it received came from fic writers who are jealous that Madeleine Roux was essentially paid to write fanfic and it was way better than theirs.

Character ask curve ball: Yeza Brenatto, 3 and/or 12

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

Tbh? His passivity. Passivity in any character is something I find frustrating, which is why I think I sympathized quite a bit during the campaign when Sam was frustrated that Yeza wouldn't, like, argue with Veth. Obviously, there are reasons why he was like that, but I would LOVE if Yeza pushed back or snapped at anyone over anything. He's a great guy and a great character, but on a personal level I find that sort of passivity absolutely maddening
