If your still doing that song thing for VM, “The Last of the Real Ones” by Fallout Boy is my GO TO Pikelan song. First verse is Scanlan, second is Pike, the ending is the two of them facing down Vecna and life afterward, the “therapist” mentioned is their Gods IT JUST FITS SO WELL

Ooooh I love your breakdown!!

So we have, for Scanlan:

“I was just an only child of the universe/ And then I found you, and then I found you/ You are the sun and I am just the planets/ Spinning around you, spinning around you/ You were too good to be true, gold plated/ But what's inside you? But what's inside you?/ I know this whole damn city thinks it needs you/ But not as much as I do, as much as I do” 

Which I love, because I think it describes how Scanlan learned to actually understand Pike as a person. And then Pike’s verse:

“I am a collapsing star with tunnel vision/ But only for you, but only for you/ My head is stripped just like a screw that's been tightened too many times/ When I think of you, when I think of you/ I will shield you from the waves if they find you/ I will protect you, I will protect you/ Just tell me, tell me, tell me I, I am the only one/ Even if it's not true, even if it's not true” 

And I love the references to protection and Pike’s absolute focus on the ones she loves. Them facing down Vecna:

“I'm here, at the beginning of the end/ Oh, the end of infinity with you [...]I'm done with having dreams, the thing that I believe/ Oh, you drain all the fear from me”

Aaaand them and their gods — I see this particularly as Scanlan wondering if Sarenrae really hears him:

“I wonder if your therapist knows/ Everything about me” 

Come yell at me about songs that remind you of Critical Role! (Playlist | song masterlist & spreadsheet by disasterhumans | CR music tag)

mellieeggo reblogged your post:i’m really enjoying this “deals with his...

Agreed, alllllllthough he did want to know how to control the Marid before he took off the necklace

my impression was that he wanted that to call it off from attacking his friends? because he couldn’t see that it had stopped fighting them as soon as the bracelet came off.

If you're still looking for CritRole prompts I have something kinda fun in mind... The middle of the night while camping, Nott "borrows" one of Calebs spell books to try and do a little independent study (to make Caleb proud) and maybe something goes kinda wrong? Bonus points if Caleb or Jester have to bail her out. This could either be super fluffy or super angsty, both would rock. I just love Nott and Caleb's relationship and want mooooore

Caleb wakes to the sound of screaming. His eyes snap open, and he remembers, oh gods, he remembers- then the scream pierces the air again, and he realizes it’s Nott who’s screaming. He’s on his feet in a matter of seconds, frantically searching for her in the dim firelight. He sees Beau, Yasha, and Molly all scrambling to grab their weapons and find their own feet, but he doesn’t have time to focus on them. Where is Nott?

“Nott? Nott!”

“Caleb, over here!” It isn’t Nott who responds, but Jester, and Caleb stumbles toward her voice. He somehow avoids tripping over everyone’s things as he finds his way to the edge of the camp, where he finds Jester and Fjord crouching over something. Fjord looks up at him as he approaches, and the genuine fear Caleb sees in Fjord’s eyes makes his stomach drop. No, no, nonono.

“Where is Nott?” he repeats, even though he knows Nott is on the ground, shielded by Jester and Fjord’s forms. He wants them to move. He needs to see her. She has to be alright.

Fjord stands and steps between Caleb and Jester, moving fast enough that Caleb can’t get a good look past him before he’s clapping a hand onto one of Caleb’s shoulders. “Caleb, listen,  Jester’s doing everything she can, but Nott, she- I think she was messing with one of your spellbooks-”

Caleb doesn’t wait to hear anything else. He shoves past Fjord and kneels beside Jester, and although he can’t see terribly well this far from the campfire, he can make out Nott’s limp form and a half-closed book beside her. There’s smoke rising off of her, like she may have lit herself on fire, or perhaps stuck herself with lightning.

Jester lays her hand on Nott’s arm, and a warm glow surges from her palm and soothes the smokiness. “She’s alive,” Jester says, “but I am not sure what she did.”

Caleb grabs the book as Jester gives Nott another wave of healing magic. He flips through the pages, trying to find the one that Nott was attempting. He tears through the pages like a tornado, scanning as quickly as possible, but he didn’t mess up any of them this badly when he was learning these spells himself. He’s about a third of the way into it before a small voice murmurs, “W-what?”

Caleb looks over the edge of the book to see Nott squinting at him. The weight in his stomach disappears, a shower of relief washing over him.

“Nott? Are you okay now? Do you feel better?” Jester asks.

“I… I think I’m a little sore.” Nott tries to sit up, but then she winces and lays back down.  

“What were you doing?” Caleb is careful to keep his tone even.

Nott’s ears droop, and she looks away from both Caleb and Jester. “I was trying to learn a new spell. As a surprise.”

“Oh, Nott, that is really, really dangerous,” Jester says softly, and Caleb nods in agreement.

“I know, I’m sorry, I just wanted to impress you.”

“You are a very impressive student already, Nott,” Caleb tells her, and it’s true. She’s taken to magic like a natural in the short time they’ve know each other. “Please, do not try this again.”

“I won’t. I promise.”

You know, I really appreciate the insight you bring to the CR fandom and how open you are to helping people struggling with the content. That said, all this discourse is making everything feel really... heavy. Crit Role used to be really light for me, a super happy fun pastime that helped me get out of the real world for a second. I feel like I should read the discourse, and try to understand where people are coming from, but its kinda ruining the show for me especially as a widowmauk shipper

Well, it's one thing if your viewing experience is effected by such things because those things usually lead to some level of conflict and conflict is a things that can make many people uncomfortable and anxious. But it's a very different thing if what's effecting your viewing experience is not wanting to or not being comfortable with acknowledging the fact that no piece of media (whether it's the media itself or the fandom that surrounds it) is untouched by the culture in which it exists and that there will always be the possibility that there are issues attached to it that could be potentially harmful or hurtful to some people. That doesn't mean that you have to engage in those discussions or even read every post about it. But it's incredibly important to be able to recognize those things and be aware of how they effect the people around you, the people who are sharing the fandom experience with you.

If doing that somehow "ruins" your viewing experience, that's probably something you should work on. Even in a broader sense, it's important to be able to accept the fact that the things we like aren't perfect, and it's important to be open to the fact of other people's experiences and how they might be effected by things we enjoy, and to be able to do that without thinking that those things somehow take away from what we value about the things we enjoy. If you're not able to do those things without it ruining your viewing experience, then there might be some deeper issues with handling disagreement and differing perspectives that you should

Are you still taking prompts for Vaxleth fics during the one year timeskip? If so, I was hoping for just something cute and angsty about Vax missing avex but not wanting to worry Keyleth about it yet (maybe they nave a return to Whitestone coming up soon anyway so Vax doesn't think he should rush it or bother her?)

I am taking prompts! I’m a very slow writer (I have fics for all the other prompts I got sitting partly finished on my computer. I try to work on them every day but it still takes me awhile to write), but I will definitely add this to the list.
