I do think it’s funny how Ripley very clearly doesn’t have Cabal’s Ruin and literally manipulated Umbrasyl into bringing her a magical item that can locate vestiges so that she didn’t have to go get it from VM herself and half the comments in the tags are like “I can’t believe they’re gonna kill Ripley and get Cabal’s Ruin this season 🙄”
#like come on#it’s pretty obvious she’s gonna learn where Cabals Ruin and Whisper are and then fuck off before VM even fight Umbrasyl#like Anna Ripley is not throwing her lot in with a dragon#she’s not dying for that thing lmao#anna ripley#tlovm spoilers#the legend of vox machina#critical role#CR campaign 1

Part One will consist of Vestiges found by Vox Machina and will be judged by its Exalted state. Below is a link to each Vestiges page on Encyclopedia Exandria, if you need a refresher on it's abilities. This poll is basically asking, which of these items do you think is the best to bring into a high level battle?
Cabal's Ruin
Deathwalker's Ward
Fenthras
Mythcarver
Plate of the Dawnmartyr
Spire of Conflux
Titanstone Knuckles
Whisper

i can't even come up with a cohesive list of what i liked about those episodes they were so perfect. and for a second i thought hm giving scanlan a fakeout death is going to make the raishan fight hit a little less hard. but now that i think about it him purposefully acting dead? for the punchline? and when they inevitably go to find him again and they go ohh scanlan you can stop playing around and he doesn't get up?
#okay. if kaylie is going to marquet that makes things interesting. because (linearly) cabal's ruin and ank'harel are next.#i'm a little hm. about him needing to quit being a coward because im c1 that character development had happened by the time tiberius left#by the time he finds kaylie in westruun she's like don't fucking die.#and that promise specifically is. the real domino. you know what i mean? so i hope that they find her again in marquet.#and i hope she forces him to make that promise. i need it. ok?#anyway. overall really really good season. sorry for talking so much abt scanlan rn blame it on the show for delaying it this long#vm spoilers#tlovm spoilers

Spring Wildefyr | they/them | Satyr Artificer/Fighter
Spring is Blessed’s youngest sibling and from a young age was always fascinated by technology and the prospect of Creation. With their father being a Blacksmith, Spring learned how to use a forge and started small with what they could create. Over time, they began studying any sort of technology they could get their hands on. With the support of their brother-in-law, a fellow tinkerer, they became quite knowledgeable and adept in tinkering. They were not satisfied however, and went out to travel and learn everything and anything they could get their hands on. Eventually, Spring traveled to Marquet, taking an interest in the rickety and rusty creations in Bassuras.
#dragon's art#spring tag tbd#so secondary campaign 3 oc cuz i had the idea for spring doing smth now that theyre grown up and this fits them perfectly#also i think its funny to have another Wildefyr be used KLSJFDHKGF#Ashton voice oh fuck theres two goats now#also what theyre wearing is cabal's ruin because i said so LKFDSJGJHFK#ANYWAYS i tried to make it like. obvious Blessed and Spring are related but not like Carbon Copies#spring gets the horns from their father and slightly darker fur#however they took inspiration from their brother because they really look up to blessed so thats why their hair is similar in style

the ffxiv youtube posting a full yorha dark apocalypse trailer for the release of the rest of the anime while the community is already big mad after they have made the groundbreaking discovery that they like endwalker less than shadowbringers
surely only the most insightful of commentaries will follow *braces for impact*
me? i'm just over here full on seething that the stupid lore bullshit that people are mad about is continuing to rob me of 'yoko taro decided to write his most overtly political work in a video game crossover' discourse
#yorha dark apocalypse#continuing my mission to be as vague as possible about yoko taro's greatest hit#there's a reddit thread about the trailer and i'm just tempted to go in and ruin my day#i won't look at it bc i already feel mad enough shouting at clouds but here's my drinking game for you that worked p well back in the day#take a sip every time the lore is mentioned as a problem#bonus if its even though the lore (aliens) is the same as omega and the dragons#take a sip every time somebody complains about nothing being explained#take a sip if somebody either demands or bemoans a possible continuation#finish your drink if somebody refers to a vague cabal of yoko taro stans that fiendishly defend his every move#this community is so fascinating to watch (in a maddening and frustrating sort of way)

this might be niche, but any time anything happens I just think of liam obrien saying “sure, why not” after someone made either a fenthras replica for laura or a spire of conflux for marisha. but that specific intonation.
#if it helps it’s like episode 70-something of c1#and the same person had made cabal’s ruin for taliesin and they were having him try it on on stream#and then travis yelled which is on par

On seawing insults...
My partner @flamebringer0 has seemingly been busy writing down a bunch of his WoF headcanons, so I figured I should write down one of mine too. No, I don't claim this to be canon in any shape; I just like thinking about this kind of stuff.
------
Setting aside the more recent, squid and shark-themed additions to the vocabulary courtesy of a certain foul-mouthed princess, classic seawing insults are infamous among the pyrrhian populace as being rather underwhelming. If you were to get into an argument with an elderly seawing and push them over the edge, you may find yourself getting called a "clam stack", a "flat rock with kelp growing on both sides", or something similarly innocuous-sounding that'll leave you more confused than offended. Their apparent lack of potent zingers has given seawings a reputation among the other tribes (especially with sandwings) as mild-mannered fogeys with no bite in them.
Are seawings just an unfathomably lame cabal of fops, perhaps even the most boring tribe on the entire continent? Of course not! As it turns out, these seemingly harmless phrases are incredibly offensive... if you say them in Aquatic, that is. Uttering these mild expressions in the seawing luminescent language happens to result in exceptionally harsh blinking and flashing patterns that irritate your eyes if you look at them directly. Flashing them directly into someone else's face is sure to ruin their day, because they may spend the rest of it with a throbbing headache. So the next time you're at a tavern and a seawing calls you an "even-clawed crab", be thankful they happen to be talking with their mouth.
As a side effect, this linguistic eccentricity has caused some seawings who are particularly traditionalist or were raised in strict households to completely avoid these expressions, even while speaking verbally and in a non-aggressive context. You will catch them awkwardly dancing around using certain words, opting to make up new, stilted descriptors to avoid embarrassment. If you see a seawing suddenly hesitating mid-sentence and seeming unable to "spit it out", chances are this is what is happening. So do the right thing and be kind and understanding. Or don't, if the alternative is really funny.

I have some thoughts about Amazon's Fallout TV Show.
The show is of course disrespectful to West Coast Fallout, but in a more insulting way than just having the many iconic elements of the classic games be reused over and over again. You start to really feel as though that Bethesda resents the success and continued interest in New Vegas, and while that may be true, it doesn't explain the mountain of references to both the classic Fallouts and New Vegas.
I assume there was need to appeal to the fans of the West Coast, as the TV show is a large event and they would make a portion of viewership. There's all sorts of things sprinkled in, the Brotherhood is fashioned to be more medieval with monk robes and rituals, one of the props used for a pistol is a recreation of the stupid Hard Boiled magazine-fed revolver from Fallout 1. These references are all just borrowing from the aesthetics from prior games, though. It was probably expected that FNV fans would be happy with this representation alone.
Maybe they didn't see that there would be such a negative reaction to flattening all that has been built up in the West Coast, people would just be happy to see the NCR and New Vegas, even though they were nuked or left in ruin. Maybe people would point at the screen when they saw Robert House, not caring that his inclusion contradicts his ideology and goals in FNV. Why would they change the West Coast so much? Well, maybe they don't know what to do with it after FNV. Or that the fact that the West Coast has actual nations and progress doesn't fit well with Bethesda's view of the series of just being a perpetual apocalypse where you can explode raiders' heads while listening to 50s music. There is another reason I haven't seen discussed, but I need to first write about another part of the show that bothered me.
There's definite anti-capitalist themes in this show, as there is in all of Fallout. The Fallout show is different in the way that they aren't particularly background, just told in old world terminals and other storytelling. They are front and centre to the final few episodes of the series, but told in a very bad way. It's not the general system of capitalism caused America to keep declining to it's eventual fall anymore, it's rather disappointingly been changed to simply a shady cabal of evil capitalists that decided to drop the bomb because it would be profitable. And don't worry, the group trying to fight back against this aren't actual communists, they are rich Hollywood actors, so it's all good, they aren't like actual communists who deserve how they are treated under this America. It's rather a boring way of going about it.
It's the use of the line "War never changes." in the scene where this is all revealed that made me realise a potential reason why the slate in the West Coast was wiped clean. I think they are interpreting "War never changes." as "The world will always be in a state of perpetual war, new societies will arise but they will always fall as violence and cruelty is innate to human existence." rather than "War doesn't change despite how it's fought; no advance of technology or reasoning will change how pointless it is and the end result of suffering and destruction."
To demonstrate this, the NCR must fall. Just have Vault-Tec nuke it like they did for the old world, no matter how unsatisfying of a fall for the NCR that may be.
With the Marvel-esque sequel stinger of New Vegas being a setting of season 2, I'm morbidly curious if they will continue to mess up further, but maybe it's time to just let go and stick to the old games that I actually enjoy.

You have rich billionaires who control the actual leaders of nations. People who purposefully destroy foreign nations so they don’t harm the central bank’s control in some far off part of the world. People who decided not only that destroying nations across South East Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America would benefit their reach and influence in the area over there but that the dispossessed people from these nations could serve as a new labor force that wouldn’t be as demanding or as costly as the native workforce over here. You have men who are proud economic hitmen and banking cabal attack dogs who destroy even first world nation’s economies and political autonomy so they are forever subservient to the UK and US ruling class agenda.
But when all the performative eat the rich rhetoric comes out on this site, reddit, twitter, etc just generally with any Gen X to Gen Z fair weather revolutionary it all boils down hating on some gimpy rich boy tech bro type who’s only real sin in the eyes of these people is not kissing the right moral ring fingers everything else is just window dressing and excuses after the fact that they really don’t care about deep down because the moment you name names and bring up the first group of shitty billionaire monsters guilty of all the same abuse of workers and the trust of society and economy they will defend them up and down, deny, downplay, or simply denigrate you bringing up these rich behemoths who rule and ruin so much of this planet.

Confession time:
In the campaign, I loathe Mythcarver.
Vox Machina are given the Vestige as a sidenote - 'here are the locations of a ton of cool ancient weapons, and also this sword I can just give you guys'. While every other Vestige involves a quest for it, or at least some planning, often with some degree of expectation of who will get it (Fenthras, the Titanstone Knuckles, Whisper, the Plate of the Dawnmartyr, the Spire of Conflux - they all really fit one party member well. Cabal's Ruin is more up in the air until we find out who has it, and the Ward has already been given to Vax by this point). Many of them are tied to character moments for the party members in question - 'take me instead you raven bitch', the killbox, 'my heart is someone else's', 'i forgive you, but I cannot let you leave'.
Scanlan doesn't get a noble quest with his friends to power him up. Scanlan does's even do anything of particular note in Kamaljiori's canon trial. He's just... given this Vestige as loot, and because it's made with bards in mind and he's the bard so he should get it.
Except Mythcarver doesn't suit *Scanlan's* style of bard, at all, and I can count the number of times he uses it on one hand, one of which required heavy prompting by Matt because Sam was so used to ignoring the thing. It's a glorified stat stick that buffs some abilities but never sees use because Scanlan is so heavily focused on support spells. It can't match the damage output or utility of his spells, so it just sits on his belt looking pretty. He gets one cool moment with it, against a minor boss, and that's it.
(Notably, he pulls it out and tries poking for a Blinked enemy during a critical fight which I'm not naming due to spoilers, and he just... still doesn't get to do anything with it. That one round could have prevented a death - sinking a turn into trying to use that sword actively hurt the party. It sucks.)
Credit where credit is due: I really appreciate the vision Matt had for the weapon and the intent behind it! On the other hand, it just... further fed into Scanlan feeling like he was an afterthought to the party. They didn't go on a quest for him. They didn't even think of getting him a Vestige - he's just handed one, in a fairly forgettable sidebar, and then hardly ever uses it again. It sucks. I hate that stupid sword.
So when I tell you I was grinning so, so massively during episide 6 of season 2 -
Mythcarver isn't given to Scanlan by default - it's given to him, specifically, by a friend. Kamaljiori is the first person to see through his exterior, his many masks, who bonds with him over love and longing and sincerity. It's not an offhand 'oh while you're here take this' it's for him. He gets a cool moment with it!! It reveals the locations of the other Vestiges!
Here, now, Mythcarver represents what Scanlan wants to be: a hero, a valued friend, someone who matters and has an impact on the world. Someone loved.
(And also noteworthy that this happened not long after Pike was dismissive of him, too. Whistles.)
And then Umbrasyl swoops in to take it, singling Scanlan out for what he carries - and Kami fights for him. Kamaljiori protects him, over and over and over, not for Mythcarver but because it’s Scanlan, it's his friend. He's going toe to toe with an ancient black dragon for Scanlan. And dies for it.
Not only does Umbrasyl kill Kamaljiori but he steals this Vestige. This gift for Scanlan alone, this first fucking testament to having mattered to someone, to being valued and cared for. Mythcarver isn't just a reward, it actively pushes the plot and Scanlan's character development forward, gives Scanlan what he's been quietly looking for in the background, and then viciously takes it away.
(This also gives Scanlan a bigger motivation to be part of that one stupid plan with Vax that's in the trailer: Umbrasyl killed his friend and stole something representing everything Scanlan wants. And he wants it badly and he wants it back, you flying fuck.)
I can't wait to see what's in store. This was, I think, my favorite change to TLOVM so far after 'darling take off the mask' getting a bigger Moment. I can't believe they gave weight and meaning to that stupid sword and I'm here for it.
#critical role#tlovm#the legend of vox machina#tlovm s2#tlovm spoilers#scanlan shorthalt#campaign 1#cr meta#tlovm meta#kamaljiori#anyways this is why I gave Scanlan another Vestige in my AU bc i think its Integral to him deciding not to leave in One for sorrow
