pov you've been shackled by a devil to do his bidding for centuries but you won't let that bit of goodness go and doesn't that kind of prove your whole worldview right anyway. that there is no suffering nor circumstance that can tear everything worth saving away. and all you can do is hope that someone will do what you would have done, that someone is coming to help like you did. and the thing that keeps you going, that keeps that bit of humanity there. is that you truly, truly believe they will. every day zerxus ilerez wakes up to an office job in hell.

all the tragedy enjoyers gearing up for EXU:C upon finding out how doomed the characters and setting are all while being DM’d by Brennan Lee Mulligan, who orates like a medieval bard reincarnated into the modern era:

#yall are so thirsty for sadness. like. same #me too. we're all gonna be upset together. #critical role #exu:c #also re Brennan: that is about the Icarus speech

If you look down and see the stars, what will you see if you look up?

That whole opening sequence was so much my particular brand of nonsense that I had to go back and watch it again in order to more accurately yell, parrot-like, my favorite parts into the void:

“Luis. I need you to describe your character and tell us your character’s name, but I would love for you to do that with the understanding that your mouth is filled with blood.” -- WE ARE LESS THAN A MINUTE IN

“Something is wrong, and not in the sense that you’re in a bad situation - if anything, that’s a place of comfort for you. Something is wrong in the spirit.” --  This sequence works so nicely with that meta-knowledge we have that this story does not end well. I cannot express how much I adore the creeping dread that comes with the realization that something is wrong, that something has already ended and we haven’t realized it yet, that everything any character does in this story is fundamentally late because the harm has already been done, and it was done quietly, secretly, when no one was even thinking to look. All that’s left is to stanch the bleeding.

Explosions snapping from unfathomably fast to oozing through the liquid-glass of slowed time. Zerxus floating up and back, dreamlike, from the blast. I love Brennan’s little smile when Luis says he’d be looking for someone he knows. “Someone you know. Moments in time, disconnected. Someone you know.”

“You look into the hole expecting to see only darkness, and you see... stars. These are the stars you learned to fly by.” Cue new music, new lighting.

“So this is how it’s gonna be, Brennan, you son of a bitch?” “It’s not called ExU Fucking Party Time, okay?” “Can we? Is it too late? Come on, we’re only like five minutes in!”

“Elias looks up. ‘Are you listening for something?’“ And the first appearance of the words “Ghor Dranas”.

“Elias holds your arm. ‘You know I won’t look like this when you get home.’ ‘I know. Wait, come back here.’ ‘Dad. I think I caught something.’“

“My child, I fear I am too late. There are secrets they did not tell you.” Definitely getting the notion that we have some history-is-written-by-the-victors things going on here. The Calamity happened a millennium ago and wiped out two-thirds of the planet’s population - we’re primed (no pun intended) for the details to have been twisted and changed.

“Can you do me the favor of describing what your husband looked like in life?” OUCH.

The appearance of the Dawnfather shattering the image of Zerxus’ husband is both a great way to highlight the absolute horror of what we’ve heard referred to as “unchecked divinity”, and another way to highlight the “Something’s wrong” of the narrative we’ve been running with in the main campaigns.

“The face of the being above you is no face. There is no warmth to the eyes. You see the pitiless, featureless glare of the sun itself.”

“What has he done?” “He has betrayed his kin.” “It’s all right. It’s all right. Just ask yourself, Zerxus, whom did we betray?”

“Zerxus... if you look down and see the stars, what will you see if you look up?”

so many thoughts not enough words to express them, but Vespin Chloras being the one solely blamed for the Calamity over a thousand years later, when in actuality it was so much more than just him...

#critical role #exu calamity #exu: calamity #exu:c #vespin chloras #chatter #exu spoilers #cr spoilers #ntm the implication that he had altruistic (and still arrogant) intentions... #and none of these other characters are remembered in modern exandria...

This is the pvp Brennan always wanted I'm so proud of him

I LOVE a story that starts with something dead and missing in a friend group. When the person who got the gang together is something they can’t even talk about, and you can just feel that they should be a main character in this story, that’s when you know you’re in for the good shit

#this is about #evandrin alterra #exu calamity #exu:c #but also steve and leigh in thohh #nate in succession #the role of a spouse in a friend group or family is So. Good. esp when they're gone #when the story starts with a bleeding heart and the worst thing having already happened

[fjordfocused]

you think Matt and Brennan pulled all the players aside individually and said “hey so your character causes the Calamity; think about how and we’ll work that into the plot.” but none of the other players knew that so now we’re watching the wizard hubris apocalypse version of a 30 car pile-up.
