I'M IN TEARS

#this was SO #made me audibly laugh and then cover my mouth because it was like 2 a.m.

really scared/excited about the green lighting thimble-julien-occtis-teor fight in the new trailer seemingly taking place over two separate episodes (they’re wearing different shirts). also we can’t see travis in one of those eps but i’m choosing to believe teor gets there later a la vaelus in the bar fight. because it’d be badass. but for safety everybody # please live

#he could also literally be In The Bathroom #KILLER trailer man #could be two seperate fights idk. also if my shirt math is correct there are three (3) different eps with the freaky green lighting. which.#don’t like that. but i do enjoy the lighting so. win win #q’s cr posts #critical role spoilers #just in case. it’s a trailer but. just in case.

curious how the seekers are getting to dol-makjar within a reasonable amount of time for the convergence arc, considering i’m pretty positive the morning of the whole gala assassination/resurrection thing they’re still in the eternal night, and it took them like 5 days of travel to get there from dol-makjar. literally my only good idea is ‘get a big eagle again’.’ i hope they get a big eagle again.

#it might be the morning before but like. either way. How Are They Getting Back To Dol-Makjar #SO EXCITED FOR TONIGHT #CONVERGENCE ARC HELL YEAH #soldiers seekers schemers all back yay yippee #soldiers sneaking back into dol-makjar. seekers hopefully stopping at castle torch. schemers dealing with the fallout of last ep #the tables could literally not interact this ep at all & i’d still be having the Time Of My Life. but still. so excited for reunions!#particularly occtis-thimble. and also hal-thaisha considering the alogar of it all #q’s cr posts #critical role

you ever see a woman slit a guys throat and start hearing wedding bells?

happy thursday!

#been latching onto them so hard. only happy fun thing to come out of this episode. i hope he falls madly in love with her #also gorgeoussss art op i love ur murray design

just woke up to find out we got confirmation both hal & thjazi were younger than they should have been when they joined the war of axe & vine (‘a little young’ in hal’s case, ‘quite young’ in thjazi’s)… i literally planned this. also if we do the math with hal being 19 in the year 42 and the war of axe and vine starting in the year 37, hal could have been about 14 years old when he joined. and thjazi is at least a few years younger than hal. so.

#this felt obvious but also like. oh to get confirmation #halandil fang #thjazi fang #critical role #campaign 4 #cr4 #fireside chat #also sorry but if thjazi was indeed like 11 or something when he was fighting oh boy #thinking of that flashback. ‘soldier how old are you?’ ‘you should not be here.’ OH WOW #the concept of that relationship being a decent bit of projection on thjazi’s part. it’s so good this whole thing is so good #feel like that ‘why am i gasping? i already knew that’ meme. but oh the sweet sweet confirmation!! feels good feels right #also the hint that hal & alogar’s relationship isn’t the easiest. YES. YESSSSS!!!!!!! I COULD’VE GUESSED THAT BUT STILL YESSSSSSSSS

Holly for resilience and eternal life

#love how aabria & ashley were back together for 2 minutes and immediately got gay with it again. they’re my heroes

thinking about flashback mayali being stronger than azune & flashback mayali not saying a thing and just holding azune’s hand while he begs to stay with their parents & current mayali throwing herself in front of a poison blade for azune & current mayali affectionately calling azune her little brother and telling him she remembers before making the difficult choice to leave him again. thinking about azune who has made himself into someone who is meant to take the hit for the people he cares about and mayali who has always been the person to take the hit for azune. because she’s his big sister. i feel sick to my stomach.

#critical role #critical role spoilers #cr spoilers #cr4 spoilers #q’s cr posts #azune nayar #mayali nayar #mayali who says ‘i remember’ in the same way azune does but the most important thing she remembers is him #her genuine gratitude at getting to see her little brother grown up. even for just a moment. even through a mask.#i’m fr currently packing a suitcase to visit my big sister in a few days. so this is really hitting me #mayali my girl we are going to get you out of there trust. need a few more heartbreaking sibling interactions first. but after that… yea #lowkey stick her and hal in a room together i think they could have a hell of a conversation. the oldest siblingism of it all might kill me #but i’d kinda be the conversation of all time. the hal-thjazi mayali-azune ‘hes my Younger brother’ of it all

everything is so much worse and so much better than i could have ever imagined. brennan lee mulligan you crazy bastard i love you

What is up with the Mag'nessons?

So it turns out that Murray IS a Mag'nesson after all. However, it is clear that the Mag'nessons are not who they appear to be.

Here are the relevant facts:

Murray described herself to Tallbarrel, her very old friend, as "a shitty little squatter dwarf from the gutter" at the time that they met, and Tallbarrel saved her from that fate. She also clearly has personal experience of poverty (I could list examples all day but how she relates to Demodus is clearly as one poor person in academia to another).

Murray used to be much dirtier than she currently needs to be, as described during her encounter with Pimley Morn. She was doing her job as bursar of the Penteveral in a dishonest and criminal way from the start, even if it wasn't for her personal enrichment, and she thinks she's a "shit person" likely because of this.

In episode 24, she quotes her mother saying "Love flies out the window when money walks out the door" and then explains to Azune that the saying is about divorce.

In episode 24, Brennan says to Marisha, "you're aware that the Mag'nessons haven't dealt in mining in over ten years. They do something else now," without specifying what.

So here's my new Murray Mag'nesson theory, based on these points: she did come from a gem mining family, but at some point before her Hucklewend, the mines ran dry and her family went into crisis. Her parents divorced. Murray, her mother, and whichever other family members were reduced to whatever gems they had left in inventory and had no new source of income on the horizon, much like Orus Blade right now.

When Murray met Tallbarrel and the other wizards, she was genuinely excited by what they were doing, but she also saw an opportunity to get herself a more stable position. At this point, Murray started getting herself and what remained of her family into some kind of criminal or shady operation, and she laundered some of that money by financing the Penteveral.

#oooh i love this idea #murray fascinates me so much she’s like top 3 cr4 characters i’d watch a tv backstory episode of. i love her and her crimes

i’ve been thinking about what the hell the upcoming schemers combat could have going on ever since the schemers trailer dropped and there were clips of that combat where like everyone was standing up and moving at various points and (assuming that is indeed from the presumed upcoming gala combat) now it’s like. oh okay. they’re surrounded by npcs that are far more powerful than them both magically & socially. we know one of said npcs has cast the goddamn wish spell before. it’s in public. it’s a political assassination. one wrong move could get someone killed. no wonder they’re not chill about it.

#AND I AM SOOOOOO FUCKING EXCITED!!!!#critical role #campaign 4 #critical role spoilers #how do we like. subtly ally with king gus & sir marten & the unnamed druid #the last hounds of the king were at Least level 7 and king gus is likely higher level than that so. like heyyyy. alliance?#but also this doesn’t even take into account the fact that the schemers need to be subtle about this combat #they can’t clearly Take A Side when they’re in a city controlled by the other side. in a room with the other side.#also like. what happens if hal pulls out the liars blade in public? what happens if azune the ‘paladin’ casts a sorcerer spell?#azune & bolaire i think are most okay to Do Combat bc they are right where the attempt is happening + azune looks like hired security #but murray is invisible right now! if she casts the spell drops! hal is in the center of the fucking party!#we also didn’t mention in ep i don’t think (idk i was real tired atp) but aren’t the theater troupe & the curators supposed to be there?#oh my god i just remembered elodie is there. THERE’S SO MANY BAD THINGS HAPPENING AT THIS GALA!!!!#theater troupe & curators please be running soooo late please. shadia especially please do not be here.

lots of great character stuff from last night’s episode but brennan’s “[thjazi] didn’t give you the full picture, and last night, you all decided it was safer for nobody to know too much, so maybe you’re like him after all” was genuinely so good it made me want to stand up and cheer.

#critical role #q’s cr posts #critical role spoilers #that whole little narration rocked but that part in particular? beautiful #also a big fan of ‘what if he did and that makes him an asshole but doesn’t make him wrong?’#thjazi fang continuously the npc of all time by virtue of brennan’s grasp on the character & refusal to condemn or villainize him #i give the tables grace bc they’re only getting 33% of the story i am. but if you’re in the fandom and still think thjazi was evil…#oh brother

yes argosia & the halovar doing a king gus assassination attempt bad but have we considered this means we’ll almost definitely get to see one of the hounds of the king in combat

the concept of getting schemers level up vid -> city council of darkness ep 4 -> ccod ep 4 adventuring party -> cr4 episode 24 back to back… life can be so beautiful

Seekers table old west au that no one asked for but me 😌

I wanted to try and incorporate some of the canon designs into the fits but Occtis ended up looking p similar to canon cus I couldn’t imagine him as a cowboy 😭 (also a full body thaisha piece is coming trust 🙏)

#the designssssss. so much fun i love this

“there’s no new schemers table this week” incorrect! city council of darkness episode 3

#me watching the pcs do research & make plans as brennan introduces a downtime mechanic: [sickos meme] yes! YESSSSS!!!!#genuinely wonder if any of brennan’s schemers tables ideas came from filming this season. it’s very schemers-core so far #anyways this season rocks so far i love the d20 battlesets but you really feel the lack of them in a great way #in my dream world we’d get a dol-makjar map just like the purpee oregon map #dimension 20 #critical role #city council of darkness

azune never attempting to dance around difficult questions or topics has endeared me to him so much. ask julien if he has a death wish and ask bolaire if he’s a person or a thing. tell murray you worry she might start to hate you because of the institution you work for and tell hal you think thjazi’s life was worth a thousand of yours. get to the heart of the issue and tell everyone how you really feel regardless of whether or not those feelings are easily palatable. every chance for honesty is a privilege. don’t ever take it for granted.

#guy who lies about his past & his views for work every day seemingly puts an extreme value on honesty. groundbreaking journalism #the interesting question here as shit gets more serious is what azune’s bar for necessary honesty is going to be #(& what everyone else’s bar for necessary honesty is. but this is an azune post)#because while i do think it’d take a lot from him to start flat out lying to the group… lies of omission feel completely on the table #*a lot for him #curious if whatever hal & murray probs don’t know about his time during the rebellion was obfuscated or straight up lied about #like is there a concrete story or did he just. neglect to tell them some things. i’m leaning towards the latter #azune nayar #critical role #cr4 #cr #campaign 4 #critical role campaign 4

so, the facts:

- king gus is originally a rebel & an outlaw from the war of axe & vine

- during the war of axe & vine, timmony split from argosia. this is only like 26 years ago. it’s in living memory.

- it’s a popular rumor that king gus sent money & supplies to argosian rebels during the falconers rebellion.

- king gus is currently in dol-makjar, and this seems to be a sudden & unplanned visit. the king’s sister referred to “challenging times” and one of the king’s hounds mentioned current strife.

- an argosian envoy is currently being hosted by the einfasens while king gus is in town. this indicates some degree of closeness or trust with the sundered houses, or at least house einfasen.

- the einfasens & halovars are seemingly close allies.

- the candescent creed is currently fueling the idea of religious uprising against the king in timmony. they have also just converted the earl of gormalay to their faith.

- this talk of king gus being a tyrant started after he entertained audience with members of the falconer’s rebellion.

- trimus tachonis & ophelia seremai did one of those ‘rich person inside joke’ laughs about the concept of the argosian delegation visiting king gus

- the argosian king from during the war of axe & vine was called a tyrant by sir hawkins. this is speculation, but if that king is still in power, he’s probably is not a big king gus fan. and even if he’s not still in power, his successor likely might not be The Best, morally speaking. we’ll see. we really know next to nothing about the country. anyways.

hypothesis: house halovar (& einfasen?) might try to get rid of king gus and keep their name out of it by cooperating with and/or manipulating the sentiments of the visiting argosian delegation, which could be easy considering the argosian civil war that led to timmony’s creation only ended approximately 26 years ago. this could end up creating a gap in timmony’s leadership & an opportunity for the halovars to utilize the pro-candescent creed anti-king gus sentiment they have fostered in timmony and get a religious leader put in gus’s place, turning a relatively new country that seems to be undergoing some extent of instability & turmoil into a candescent creed theocratic state of sorts while also getting rid of a leader of a regional power that might try to help out the people of dol-makjar as the sundered houses attempt to turn it into a fascist state/do whatever their end goal here is.

conclusion: i definitely need more information here on argosia so hey maybe next schemers ep can we please see what’s up with the argosian delegation especially considering brennan made a point to say there was a lionfolk diplomat with them. the fate of a country may depend on it & also more lionfolk is always a win

#inspired by me rewatching some of the soldiers table rn for funsies #critical role #cr4 #campaign 4 #critical role spoilers #cr4 spoilers #cr spoilers #critical role speculation #q’s cr posts #@ brennan show me that argosian delegation please pleaseeeee #i want to see the nama diplomat… Show Me the nama diplomat #curious if the referenced ‘strife’ is due in part to argosia at all. because if so. oh buddy.#just really needed to write all the facts down. bro i need Answers
