Critmas 2022 - Reveals and Recs
Reveals are up for this years Critmas Exchange, and here's a few of my favorites from this year.
I definitely suggest checking out the entire collection, there's a lot of good stuff and a lovely variety of fic and art.
From oldest posting date to newest:
Series of Smaller Adventures by 2ManyBoys - Shadowgast, 3576 words.
This is a wonderfully soft post-canon domestic Shadowgast fic, complete with book organization, mistranslations, and cats.
Fjord's Very Best Day by @EnemytoSleep - Fjord, 3902 words.
It's the gift I received this year, but I would have gotten a spot on this rec list anyway - on Fjord's experiences after the sinking of the Tide's Breath, and some of the choices he made after. A lovely and at times very visceral character study.
Your Heart Taking Root by @demenior - Fearne & Orym & Dorian, 2732 words.
An soft and well characterized exploration of the trio's friendship - amazing work on character's voices, and they all love each other so much, each in their own way.
i usually run when the world starts ending by @grayintogreen - Artagan/Jester Lavorre, 4515 words.
Artagan grappling with his not-quite-godhood during the Iron Shepherd's arc. It does a great job incorporating other pieces of Critical Role lore, and Artie is extremely fey while still clearly in love.
And then my own:
Someone Else's Ghost Story - Kingsley Tealeaf, 3429 words.
While in Rexxentrum, Kingsley runs into someone from Lucien's past.
Spoilers for The Nine Lives of Lucien, but more importantly, the story probably makes a great deal more sense if you know the spoilers beforehand.
Anyway, check them all out! And thanks again to @capitola for stepping in at the last minute to run it!

Lmaoooo okay so MAJOR story spoilers ahead-
But I just finished the crisis at hyrule castle quest line (after thorough googling that I wasn't going into the final boss, of course) and went back to the landing where everyone gathered to discuss what to do next.
It was all very solemn and thoughtful, everyone theorising and letting it sink in how incredibly dangerous ganon was, and then purah and riju are like 'omg there was a sixth sage maybe we can find whatever they've left behind maybe it can help us' and then Link IMMEDIATELY speaks up like 'oh yeah about that I've already found her. Yeah she's fine she's going to help us. I've also got the master sword too by the way'.
Everyone was SHOOK. I got praise and amazement from all sides. Purah was like 'ALREADY???!! And you didn't think to TELL ME??' it was great.
Never felt more like canon link in my life. I've got a screenshot of everyone's :O?! face. Going to be riding that high for hours XD.
But it's very impressive that I managed to procrastinate so hard I managed to skip about three major plot lines just by squirrelling my way where I'm not supposed to be purely by accident lmao.

I didn't think I was going to get so emotional over this Big Country video/performance, but I did and it's...not pretty.
I'm not gonna post this video, but I actually watched it in spite of wondering why literally all of them are shirtless (not that I'm, uh...exactly complaining), and aside from that, when Stuart says "So when you're going [around?], going home tonight, to your nice, safe, warm cars, take a good look around you - there's a great, [brave? grave?! that beautiful accent befuddles me], big world out there, and all of us are responsible for it" he then gives...a smile. But it's an incredibly, deeply resigned (almost polite) smile. And it's going to haunt me for the rest of my days. I wish I was joking. It upsets me a lot, actually, because I believe from his facial expressions and everything (including a pause where it's clear he's not quite sure what he's going to say, but it seems like he's searching for something to say that will have an impact on the audience - which is part of why this is so painful) he's being sincere about his brief speech, but then he, like, very briefly moves his mouth away from the microphone (I think because he's fully gauging that he's about to not get any kind of reaction from the audience) and then moves his face again so his mouth is mostly hidden by the microphone and gives that resigned smile (those deep dimples!!!) which says...oh god, everything. To me, it says: "I know what I just said meant nothing to you all [or I would've had at least some reaction (from the audience)]," "Sorry for wasting your time," "Oh, how funny of me to think that any of you would catch that I'm calling you out on your privilege - my bad," and finally, "Hello EXISTENTIAL DREAD, MY OLD FRIEND". 😭 All of that plays on his face in that like not-even-two second span of a smile. And. Oh god. Yeah. I'm just gonna be...haunted. By it.
I don't say any of this at all negatively, by the way - I do not think less of him for that. But then again, I appreciate when my favorite artists give little, like...motivational speeches and stuff at their concerts, actually, because no matter what anyone else thinks, THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS RELEVANT. Stuart's speech was relevant because of what "Rockin' In The Free World" is about! I mean, okay, maybe it was a bit redundant because, with a song like "Rockin' In The Free World," we get it. It's presented very plainly, lyrically, why it was written - what its intent is. BUT, he still makes a good and not-quite-as-strongly-implied-by-the-song point about privilege WHICH, TO SAY AT A CONCERT, IS KINDA BALLSY, NOT GONNA LIE! And clearly it didn't go over with that audience, but does that mean he just shouldn't try at all? So I do think he had reasonable motive (that was actually not totally unnecessary) for saying his spiel. I give him props for trying to give people something to think about, even if they're not going to think about it while they're at a rock concert, lmao...still! Why not take the risk?
Anyway. I don't know if his face there is going to haunt me because of the audience, or because it's like...my empathy just went, "Oh fucking SHIT that hurts, ahaha"...because I can imagine it being both.
