thinking about Shadowgast :')

My favorite early-campaign dynamic is how Fjord's insecurity about his masculinity affected his cautious relationship with Molly but ALSO how he sized Caleb up as the other Man in the group that he would have to struggle with for power while the whole time Caleb was thinking, "Hm..... This man reminds me of my hot ex"

LONG MAY THEY REIGN. Is it Thursday yet?

Critical Role: THE MIGHTY NEIN

#I miss them

[caducaceclay]

Hello, I’ve been catching up on Exandria Unlimited lately, and how have y'all been doing.

[caducaceclay]

Nothing will be funnier than learning that Yasha stayed with Caleb and Essek in the records room because the rest of the Nein had planned for her to take him out if he went rogue.

So she’s waiting there thinking “Aw fuck Caleb is going off the plan, is it happening now? Shit Essek is here too, don’t wanna have to take out Caleb in front of him.”

And even Essek is like “Caleb dearest, can I trust you? I wanna trust you, but this eyes bs is scaring me. Please be careful.”

But Caleb, sweet wizard nerd Caleb is sitting there going “Holy fuck guys, look at all this paper! I love paper so much, look at all these cool books! I’m nerding out in here!” Like he responds their concerns in earnest and in seriousness because Caleb is also thinking about it too. But it is so funny that truly, Caleb was just so excited by the paper and books. All while Yasha is thinking damn guess I might have to take out Caleb right now.

On his third Aeor date with Caleb, Essek uses graviturgy to pop the necromantic emerald off its pillar like a candy button.

Just he did with the dunamancy gem, he presents it to Caleb without hesitation: power bestowed on the person he loves.

The kiss he receives in return is so fervent it topples both of them into the snow.

Flame still burns

checked my inbox and had approximately a million extremely excellent doodle prompts from you fine people! tonight's lucky winner is @sounddrive, who requested:

kissing behind a tome that is only partially covering their faces

Perhaps this was intended to be an arcane tome of nerdery, but I saw the opportunity to remove some dignity from hot boi and I took it.

also included the non-tome version, to restore some dignity.

thank you to @mllekurtz for being a sounding board for the truly terrible blurb on the back cover!

Wizards in love 💖

This group I swear 🤣

Campaign 2, Episode 141: Fond Farewells ➝ Last time they are addressed by their name during the finale

A tale of seven friends, who became eight, then nine. Wild swells of adventure, and love, and guilt, and redemption. Family. Truth. This story comes to a close tonight, but the tale of the Mighty Nein lives on, and who knows, maybe we’ll have the chance to see some of them again in some shape or form.

I love mister from ExU so much that I decided to do a little animation of him!

[caducaceclay]

[ID: A digitally illustrated three panel comic of Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast from Critical Role. In the first panel Essek says "Gather your books" with a slight smirk. In the second panel Caleb lifts up his coat and gestures to his book holsters. He says "They are on me at all times", a small arrow pointing at him from his left is labelled "absolute nerd", and "(in the cutest way)" is written on the right. The third panel shows Essek again but his smile has softened and he thinks "oh no" with little hearts around the words. End description.]

No wizard can resist a guy with book holsters

[caducaceclay]

I simply wish to see the short, gold wizard with no sense of self-preservation again,,

[caducaceclay]

Time and growth 🌱

I'll miss Jester's very chaotic Sending spells, but it's nice to know that no one will be safe from her checking in on them for the rest of time.
