In the hall there stands a bed. It’s covered all over with scarlet so red. Under the bed there runs a flood. The one half runs water, the other runs blood.

Dominic having Victor Mitch and Sydney in his phone as big man, boss man and tiny terror was actually so funny of him we do not give that man enough credit

[sapphireofmars]

the funniest part of vengeful is when victor threatens to break the coat check's bones to get his signature black trench coat so he can go kill eli in style

[sapphireofmars]

when they're both doctor frankestein and the monster – they've created each other, they're each other's freaks of nature – and their very essences are so tangled together, so deeply woven, they can't shake themselves off. they become a haunting and an obsession, prey and predator, all at once, both at the same time.

wanted murderer + strange little girl

The problem with Eli and Victor's relationship is that they are best friends, ex-best friends, rivals, nemesis , mirrors, narrarive foils, a weird college situationship that neither of them can get over. They haven't seen each other for years and they still think about each other's minds. They can't live with it. They fall into madness when the other is dead. They can't live with the thought of the other being dead as if a part of them was ripped away and burned alive. They are obsessed with the idea they have of the other. They were the only people who completely understood each other in this world and it scared them. They haunt each other even though they are alive in the same room. They could never separate themselves from the idea of ​​what could have been. They are already dead in the same fucking grave.

The best quality a fictional man can have is being deeply, pathetically, wretchedly in love with someone, I think

(part one & part two!)

[sapphireofmars]

me: (watching the trailer of a new candela obscura chapter) me: when will it finally be my turn to play a lil' guy plagued by the eldritch horrors

#critical role #candela obscura #LISTEN academia is already plaguing me with the horrors #i just want to play a silly little pc that is constantly haunted by ELDRITCH horrors instead #i wonder if any of my mutuals or followers are interested in playing candela obscura or a homebrew freeform variation of sorts(???) #hmu if anyone knows of a campaign or maybe wants to make a group to play #i just really miss playing any type of ttrpg #f

liam o’brien back in the candela sphere but he’s not an old man AND he’s doing an irish accent I LOVE TO WIN

[sapphireofmars]

god, I respect the commitment to character (it actually feels like a disservice to call it a bit) that Aimee Carrero has SO much. literally drawing her Candela character's eyebrows on for the incredibly specific vibe, the THINGS this detail says about her character.

every time she appears on CritRole, she's always committing to her character in truly wild ways. always love your work, ma'am. truly amazing. what a CHOICE.
