kinda sucks for Zelda that she went to three sacred springs and heard nothing whereas Link can roll up to any dinky old goddess statue and Hylia’s just like, “oh hey man, what’s good, got any orbs?”
Something I’ve noticed recently while watching CR is that Marisha really, really likes to incorporate the physical effects of the things they go through into her rp style. Generally the others will just ignore or laugh it off when their characters get non-lethally injured, but Marisha will make you feel how fucked up her character is. Like this past battle, where she realistically showed what being at 2 hp would actually be like (sure you’re not dead but it’s crazy to assume you’d be in perfect fighting shape), or when she had Beau throw up in the middle of battle from how badly injured she was. She also very often mentions Beau crying during a fight out of sheer stress and pain. It’s a very visceral and engaging way of connecting the audience to what’s going on with your character, but as someone who’s deeply invested in Beau’s well-being it also upsets me very much
I love that team rocket is in Pokémon go now but I just can’t them seriously bc their main goal is to steal items from poke stops but like…..poke stops are free? You don’t have to steal them you can literally just walk up to a poke stop and get the items for free. It’s like stealing a balloon on free balloon day
Look at these curvy letters! Much curvier than most letters, wouldn’t you say? You look, mortal, if ye be. You look, and then you type what you think you see! Is it an “E?” Or is it a “3?” That’s up to ye!
A quick reference post for people who want to watch Critical Role oneshots where someone other than Matt DM/GMs (links to all videos below):
To watch Liam as GM:
“Liam’s Quest Part 1″: During a normal day of voice acting work, Laura, Travis, Sam, and Taliesin are suddenly caught up in a time-warping, Eldritch horror story
“Liam’s Quest Part 2″: Now joined by Matt, Marisha, and Ashley, the meta versions of our players must find a way to stop the time-shifts that send them to horrific landscapes full of monsters.
“The Screw Job”: An Exandria-set oneshot, in which a group of thieves try to rob a sorcerer in pre-Chroma Conclave Emon.
“The Song of the Lorelei”: An Exandria-set oneshot, in which a group of werewolf siblings in Wildemount investigate a tragic mystery in their home castle.
“The Night Before Critmas”: A group of elves from the north pole have to rush to save Christmas and Santa (perhaps familiar if you’ve seen a certain movie).
To watch Marisha as GM:
“Honey Heist”: Trinket runs into some interesting bears who have a plan to steal the best honey from a festival in Westruun. (Exandria-set, but debatably canon.)
“Honey Heist 2: Electric Beargaloo”: Trinket teams up with his old heist pals to go after a notorious criminal (also Exandria-set, but even more debatably canon than the last one)
“Honey Heist 3: Tova’s Honeys”: Tova the werebear assembles a team of crack bear investigators to uncover a sinister plot (also Exandria set, but pretty clearly not canon for a few obvious reasons)
To watch Taliesin as GM:
“Thursday by Night Part 1″: The CR gang wakes up in the Geek and Sundry studios to find they’ve been turned into vampires. Now if only they could figure out what’s going on and how to get home.
“Thursday by Night Part 2″: Already down a few members, the remaining undead Critical Role players try to navigate the dark underworld of Los Angeles.
“Call of Cthulhu: Shadows of the Crystal Palace”: In the 1890s, a group of hired investigators infiltrate a museum exhibit at the Crystal Palace in search of an important ancient artifact.
To watch Travis as GM:
“Grog’s Oneshot”: Grog introduces Vex, Vax, Percy, and Scanlan to a great new game - Bunions and Flagons!
To watch Laura as GM:
“Critical Role and the Club of Misfits”: A group of students get into trouble while serving detention at Smogwarts. Any similarity to existing IP whether beloved magic books or 80s movies is purely coincidental.
To watch Sam as GM:
“Bar Room Blitz”: An Exandria-set oneshot, in which a group of strangers discover something far more sinister at work after a bar fight breaks out in the Ass Sailor tavern.
“Sam’s Romantic Cruise”: Fairy tale characters embark on a romantic cruise. Chaos ensues
“Crash Pandas”: A group of raccoons try to win a street race. Chaos ensues.
We all eagerly await the foretold Ashley Johnson oneshot.
