Me: Molly died 4 years ago. His death can't hurt me no more.

Taliesin on if molly felt his death was worth it: As long as Beau got away? Yeah.

Me:.....welp I'm in my feelings again.

Beau strikes me as the kind of person to be like “I hate kids” even while being in denial about having like. Eight of them. The Cobalt Soul library puts her in charge of the kids reading hour and she complains VICIOUSLY and then they try to replace her and she’s like “NO.” A kid complains about their parents ONCE and they end up sleeping at her and Yasha’s more often than their house. Veth asks her to do a lesson at the camp and she’s like “UGH do I have to? I hate children” while she’s holding a baby and correcting a teenager’s math homework and letting a giggly toddler hide under the long part of her robes and interrupting herself mid-argument to go “Hey, TJ, put that sword down, Mom said no blades until you’re 12, okay!”

“our teeth and ambitions are bared” is a zeugma

and it’s a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND

i think molly was the one to initially braid and put all the little beads in yashas hair

was reminded about Essek's geometer and I'm here to pitch a reverse Home Alone situation where the Nein break into Essek's towers to get a bunch of cool shit he had to leave without, but first they have to get inside without alerting the Aurora Watch by setting off his forty-seven ridiculous security measures

I just like to think about Caleb, in the future, living in a little townhouse in Rexentrum. Full of arcane trinkets, and spell components and the jacket Beau forgot when she came round for dinner. Walls plastered with Jester and Luc’s drawings, cat beds everywhere, traditional heavy Zemnian blankets from Astrid and spiralling crochet throws clearly from Xhorhas and cushions Kingsley found amusing in various markets on a squidgy leather sofa and mismatched armchairs. An extension into the garden with a little classroom in it, papers never quite contained to a study full of books and a coat rack in the hallway that’s constantly in use. A hundred different teas in the cupboard and recipes scribbled in different hands on the backs of all different stained pages. The little garden with planters of veg and pots of herbs and a sun-bleached wooden bench and forget-me-nots growing along the fence. A spare room that’s never vacant long enough to gather dust. Marks in the floor from Fjord repeatedly forgetting he wasn’t on a ship and the vase Yasha is always refilling. Thank you cards and gifts from students - carved cat figurines and mugs and silly little jokes. A feather of Kiri’s on a beaded chain she made. Books and books and books, bought by himself and others on every topic under the sun.

A house where he can finally be surrounded by and reminded of all the lives Caleb touched.

I have seen more fanart of The Shadowgast Thumbnail than almost any other specific shot/moment of this campaign

Does Laura Bailey know what she’s done? How do we thank her?

The Episode 135 Thumbnail

That’s all.

I couldn't not redraw this week's episode thumbnail.. (Original below the cut)

Fellas

Jumping on the thumbnail redraw bandwagon ~~ yeehaw

I snorted at the Trostenwald crowns guard threatening to bring "the might of the Cerberus Assembly" on the weird circus commotion folks but Caleb was definitely not laughing

A thumbnail redraw is never late, nor is it early, it arrives precisely when it means to.

[ID: A digital illustration of Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast from Critical Role. Caleb is holding up a book between them and talking about something, Essek is gazing at Caleb's face. End description.]

I couldn't go to sleep before I had a go at redrawing the new thumbnail, I love those wizards too damn much

I am Not Immune to the Shadowgast thumbnail

COUGHS THIS UP. HELLO SHADOWGAST NATION

I had to draw it
