Do you feel the characters you personally have played would make it out of an escape room together? I. E. for Ashley, it would be Fearne, Yasha, and Pike - would they work as a team?

the puppeteer

[ID: digital art of Laudna from critical role on a dark background. Laudna is a thin woman with deathly pale grey skin, and long black hair with white streaks; she’s wearing a maroon top and a tattered full length skirt. She is standing with her feet wide apart, arms raised and fingers extended into claws as she casts a spell, grimacing. Her fingertips are black. In the background, black slime appears to be rising up from the floor. End ID]

let firbolgs be the eldritch fey horrors they were meant to be 

hope essek gets crushed with a boulder 15 seconds after he's introduced in the show and then all other possible screen time that could have been dedicated to him is replaced with yasha doing cool skateboard tricks

im relistening to cr2 in podcast form so idk what their faces were actually doing but this was the scene in my brain

i am never drawing ashton’s crystal hair again in my entire life <3

[ID: digital drawings of Ashton from critical role. They are a butch earth genasi with green marbled skin, a purple mohawk and a prominent head injury on their left side. Image 1 shows two full-body sketches of Ashton, first swinging a staff, then sitting down with a hand on their neck, looking bored. They’re wearing red and black clothes, chains and a studded collar. Image 2 is a bust portrait in a more realistic style. Ashton’s head is broken open like a geode, and gold veins run along cracks in his skin. His ‘hair’ is made of purple crystals. He looks over his shoulder with a grimace and a bleeding nose. End ID]

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way

@runfreebirdrun THREATENED me at GUNPOINT to do this drawing of GAY PEOPLE (🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮) KISSING (??!?!!?!??!?)

his post of the same pose is here, and the image we both drew was sent to iwcat by @kurocyou

it's so funny to me that caleb and veth really did just trade off the job of intensely pining for the other at like the halfway point of the campaign. like, imo, nott in the early days did not behave in any real romantic or even romance-adjacent ways toward him--I imagine it would be very hard to even think in that way when you hate what you look like so much, have such low self-esteem, and are actively lying about your entire past, including a secret husband. caleb, on the other hand, is kind of diving directly back into the sort of relationship he had with astrid and eadwulf. very close, very intimate, we-huddled-for-warmth-together-and-oops-it-led-to-something-else sort of thing. he is the one who expresses that he's fine with it if people think he and nott are romantically together when they're talking to keg. nott is the one who pushes back on that. he calls her his life partner. unknowingly, he compares his feelings for nott to nott's feelings for yeza. his behavior only really starts to change after he finds out about veth's husband because suddenly all of that other stuff is rendered inappropriate in retrospect. but even then he compliments her to yeza over dinner in the most awkward of ways, he admits to being jealous, he calls yeza "a lucky man" to have her, he stares at veth and yeza closed bedroom door for far too long, he creates an entire arcane tower with room for her family just so she'll stay with him. in general, his behavior is not, um, totally and completely platonic about it, you know?

like, veth's feelings for caleb are canonical and therefore indisputable in their existence, but caleb in the early days was not that dissimilar to how veth was acting near the end of the campaign. it really paints a picture of "right person, wrong time" in the way things just didn't line up for them. or, as veth would say: "in another world, maybe"

Pastry shopping 🧁

Here’s the finished piece! Fjord and Jester enjoying their pastry haul in the sea breeze. 🌊 ☀️

veth for the doodle requests? also i love your art it makes me so happy every time i see it :] especially your veth art

ahhh tysm, I have a lot of fun drawing veth and here she is!!

so many notts,,,, my hand hurts

I finally got an ink pen and though it does not feel as whimsical as I had hoped, I'm really enjoying sketching with it

Widobrave poll....2!

nott was deeply iconic this whole fight under the well. everyone is losing it and dying and suffering meanwhile she's darting around the battlefield, making shitty puns a beau that cause her to miss all her attacks, spending her time almost exclusively feeding healing potions to caleb (he went down four times!) even healing him when he was just attacking everyone, did not get directly attacked ONCE, and then accidentally murdered caduceus to end things with a literal bang. who is doing it like her

Liam picks Sam’s characters but, as far as I know, Liam didn’t have any input on Tary because it was a surprise to everyone. So…

"The rage that I feel, the stress being so high, the fuel pumping through my core, it has reached a level it's never reached before. And it is so intense that for the first time I realise that I am made of metal and wires, but I am alive. I am alive for the first time. And I am alive not because I was made by D, or Dancer, or even the Changebringer. I'm alive because they made me alive. And it's the connections that I made with all of them, and it's a feeling of joy, and I'm happy to do this. 'Cause they saved my life, and I'll save theirs."
