I imagine Essek had one or two record scratch moments in his youth

Such as, alternately,

#I'm on my meme bullshit again #it's shitpost o'clock #note as with my previous Barbie Essek content this is not to say Essek is Barbie unilaterally as there are significant divergences #Barbie wears pink for instance #(jk Essek has a pink umbrella)#but anyway do not flatten the analysis #this is about Essek feeling like the odd man out in his society due to not following the religion #op #essek thelyss #critical role

Do you think Ludinus has Nemesis Alerts set up on his account with the Bank of Rexxentrum and if so does he get a little alert every time Essek says he's "enemy to Ludinus Da'leth"?

As much as it is fun to joke about how absurd Trent's plan was (and on its face, considering just his perspective alone, it was!), I do think we need to acknowledge that it wouldn't have worked as a threat if it had not been reasonably concerning to Caleb.

When you think about how little the Nein know at this point about the Solstice (meta pigeons notwithstanding), there are a lot of factors that play into this being a credible threat. For instance:

The collars are no longer working, as are some wards, in which case it's not unreasonable to wonder if any of the Amulets of Nondetection are out of commission.

It's possible that the Dynasty genuinely does not have that much evidence to go after Essek—that he managed to fake his death and cover his trail that way, or he left well before the pressure really began to encroach, as a preemptive measure, and with him out of sight the rumors died down (or were even quashed by his mother for political reasons, regardless of her feelings on the matter).

There's no good way to know what information or evidence Trent may have stashed away in the event that it was necessary later, which could be delivered anonymously to the Dynasty and not rest on Trent's credibility.

Regardless of Trent's relative ability to capture Essek on his own, which is probably low, he is enough of a loose cannon that he could seriously hurt him simply in a one-on-one duel, because Trent has clearly gone beyond any considerations of self-preservation and is trying to inflict maximum damage, which makes him dangerous all on his own.

It doesn't have to be any one of these, but the important thing is that the plot hinges upon Caleb believing this is at least a semi-credible threat. If there really was no danger to Essek, then it would be reasonable for Caleb, who is very intelligent, to dismiss it and focus on something more important. We've seen that Caleb is perfectly capable of shutting Trent out in the face of larger priorities even when his threats were very affecting, and Caleb's had an extra seven years since then to move past that trauma.

But given that the point of threatening Essek, on a meta level, was to ensure that the plot of the one-shot moved at the pace it needed to, then Caleb needs to believe that this is a credible threat. Regardless of the efficacy of the particular plan outlined, we must be willing to believe that, if he is not confronted now, Trent will make good on his threats in one way or another.

#critical role #cr spoilers #essek thelyss #caleb widogast #m9 solstice #trent ikithon #like the point here is not that trent's plan isn't absurd. it is.#but also like. if he couldn't get the dynasty to go after essek he would just go fuckin harm essek himself.#the man is like. BEYOND help. he's fucking monstrous. he will make this happen or die trying because this is basically all he has.#also I am laughing now at the idea that deirta covered the treason up after he left #she's fucking pissed but she's also like 'well this is nOT affecting my political standing.'

to be loved

is to be changed

#the picture that made me fall in love with him #I saw him and knew I needed to adopt him #I contacted his foster parent immediately only to find out someone else had set up a meeting with him #but they bailed the day of so the foster parent told me they took him back to the shelter #and to go there if I wanted to see him #so I booked it to Charlotte and got there right as they closed #and as soon as they opened his kennel he jumped into my arms #I left that night with paper work filled out and brought him home the next day #I’m SOBBING I just love my little boy so much #we came into each others lives when we needed each other most it seems #and I can’t get over it #I just love my guy #my little wizard 🖤#little baby man #Essek #if you read this novel in the tags I’m kissing your forehead

Caleb Widogast refuses to conform to daylight savings time in the empire and claims it is the devil's work. He shows up to at 11 to his 10am class and swears he's on time.

Soltryce can't fire him because he has blackmail tenure.

#critical role #cr2 #caleb widogast #brought to you by me casually sitting in discord and listening to people discuss daylight savings #and then oh no'ing at how that would work with keen mind #Caleb Widogast grumpy old man #Does Essek agree idk #would be hilarious if it became a long running debate between them though #mr. time is one of my specialities and talking clock widogast

Made this way back in May when i was playing with the idea of making a little thumbnail collection of fake little Aeor scenes about Essek and Caleb, but i ended up abandoning the piece.

Still kind of like the vibes tho!

those r wedding rings. you may glimpse and i mean glimpse them. amber flanked by pearls on gold. pearl flanked by amber on silver. u can pry their marriage from my cold undead hands as i gnaw furiously on u w zombie chompers idc

TITLED NECK KISSES FEAT. PUDDLES

and feat. little smiles because you are loved you never thought you could be loved never never but look at you now just LOOK at you now

#tagging as #long post #just in case man idk what counts as long #BEEN HESITANT TO SHARE MY FORGES LMAO but u know what. a momentous occasion calls for throwing some caution to the wind #how am i supposed to sleep dear GODS above and below #essek thelyss #caleb widogast #shadowgast #critical role #critical role spoilers #cr spoilers #< not really. technically not. but just in case yk #i am alluding

Man, if I had a nickel for every time Essek Thelyss's disguise was dispelled via Anti-Magic field in a situation somehow related to Ludinus Da'leth, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't alot, but it's weird that it has happened twice.
