ashton stepping in front of orym in the crossbow fight in episode nine…. they are literally “I don’t care, I say caringly, as I care deeply” personified and it’s going to kill me

Yo I'm finally starting to catch up with critical role.

I'm on episode 9 btw

Wish me luck.

actually almost started crying at Pretty the ogre bounding excitedly out of the kitchen and tearing up at getting complimented on his food help 😭

“Let things naturally occur”

They really are each other’s better halves

— What was the boy's name? — Andy.

Liam: You could have been a gnome werewolf, Travis

Travis: Shit 

Huh. Was that prophetic or was Travis going for him to be some sort of werewolf/blood hunter thing from the get go...?

I'm continuing my CR Abridged viewing and am currently at c3e9. This is one of the full-length episodes I've watched several times because it features so many good things:

Fearne escaping the factory and the wilders with her typical mix of charm and brazenness.

Eshteross baking cookies!

Chetney invisibility shenanigans.

The Soot and Swill and Pretty the ogre chef.

Someone in the party hearing Ira speak for the first time (and them hearing his title, the Nightmare King).

One thing I hadn't remembered was how Ashton was Dorian's biggest supporter as far as getting Cyrus out of town. Ashton and Dorian don't have a lot of interactions early on, but this is something Ashton is really vocal and adamant about, constantly either bringing it up (as they did when they asked Eshteross if he could help smuggle someone out of town) or making sure there is space and time for Dorian to ask questions about it (as with Artana Voe). "It's what you do for family," they say at one point, a pretty innocuous comment then but which has a whole lot of mean now. Of course the orphan who has been abandoned by or lost to disaster both of his families would see a new friend with a brother at risk and say, "gotta protect that."

“Are you gonna fuck this guy?” 

bonus of a broken DM

“Fearne, I don’t think it’s a good thing…”

I adored the way the tables turned for Dorian and Chetney this episode, it was VERY reminiscent of Fjord and Veth. (Which is even funnier because that means Travis got bullied and decided it looked fun) But also they were on the same wavelength, chetney was making an effort to be nice the whole time and then Dorian did the whole invisibility thing. It’s sick and I love it.

ashton “professionally left behind” greymoore telling dorian “you’ve gotta take care of fucking family”….. i am good i am fine

“We all have family, right? And we want to protect our family don’t we”

?? Sir was that a THREAT?

A fun thing to remember about Dorian is that charming, hapless “why are you so mean to me” Dorian is also ruthless “anything to protect my friends (including murder for the Spider Queen)” Dorian.

We’re watching him figure out who he is and that means all kinds of interesting stuff is going on. He’s anxious and a bit fussy, occasionally smooth as hell, simultaneously an accomplished and a transparent liar, with a steel core that flashes every now and then. So much fun.

Y’all I thought there was something up with Sam’s outfit and couldn’t quite place it. Then this just popped up on my Twitter feed and I’m

After rewatching the Beauyasha date episode and this past episode 65, I need a cute Imogen and Laudna date night

Laudna: *Leans in closely to hear what Imogen would do on a date*

Girl why are you so interested in hearing what she would do on a date? What’s going through your mind? Is it love? Is love going through your mind? Do I need to mention that you said, OUT LOUD, that Imogen has nice skin? I’m pretty sure that’s love you got there Laudna.

I love Ashton’s fixation of inanimate objects and just being paranoid of everything now. I mean, understandable between the initial introductory combat and the mimic wall, still hilarious
