#'nott the next time you eat fish you're sleeping in a tree holy shit'

I loved the plot component to the Mighty Nein’s story but god all I can think about right now is that dome, how Caleb almost cried to be able to provide a shelter for them after losing one of their own, how they all slept together and ate together and just lived as inextricable parts of each other’s lives for so much of the campaign. The tower was a love letter both from Liam and from Caleb but the comfort and familiarity of curling up in a pile of limbs and body odor and snoring and that being more of a home than any of them had seen in so long, if ever...it’s so simple but it gets to me. The intimacy of a life lived in tandem is one of the greatest forms love takes and the Nein were just rich with it in a way that seemed so especially healing to watch.

#the further away we get from the conclusion of the campaign #the harder I reject the notion they split up #at least not for long #the mighty nein #domestic squabbles over who didn't wash their socks #'I am not sleeping next to you until you go get in the fucking river #i'll go with you quit being a baby nothing is going to eat you bc you smell too bad' #'how did you get another hole in your coat I just fixed that' #'quit pretending your bandages don't hurt - I can hear you trying to breathe normally' #'nott the next time you eat fish you're sleeping in a tree holy shit' #those first few nights in the tower? #their own rooms? #god that must have been weird #nice in some ways but weird #especially for those who are inclined to look out for everyone else #which is pretty much all of them #i miss them #critical role
