#i just love travis

[justalittlebluetiefling]

It is never not funny to me that Travis is the one at the table who heard Matt say, "Don't yell insight check, ask if you believe them?" and latched onto it with such intensity immediately.

#i just love travis #i think yelling 'insight check' is very funny #but travis calling people out for doing it is also very funny #cr2e24 #yeah sure i'll watch the m9 again

watching the sdcc panel and i am just very :) about how sweet their answers to “what are some of the micro moments from the game that have stuck with you the most over the years?” are. taliesin saying what the fuck is up with that which was the first like The Party Gets To Know Each Other moments of c3. travis saying asking his wife if he could kiss her in campaign. marisha going way back to the cannonball competition in campaign one. ashley choosing the beauyasha date but also just the silly goat noise matt made. liam adding onto that to compliment matt roleplaying grass so well and then saying his favourite moment was writing a story for laura and reading it to her as caleb for jester. and then matt saying that was his answer, and that his favourite moments of the game are when they find ways to give gifts to each other whether tangible or not. and sam saying his favourite moments have less to do with the story and is more so when he can just. see his friends across the table from him. when marisha perches and when laura and ashley are (badly) drawing dicks and liam saying he loves when sam sneezes and ashley tells him to stop it and just. yeah. they Are an extremely popular online powerhouse, but i’m so happy that they’re also friends building a world together out of gifts to and love for one another.

like i Am so enamoured with the characters and the world of exandria but the moments when you can feel the love that those people have for each other reach out from behind the stained glass of their performances (to steal a metaphor from brennan lee mulligan) are so extremely special and i am endlessly grateful that they decided to share their silly little home game with the world.

#it’s just the. laura and travis’ characters always being supportive of one another when they’re facing hardship #taliesin and marisha consistently making characters who challenge one another and still protect each other relentlessly #all of them being so fond of ashley’s characters always and literally seeing them light up in c1 episodes when ash got to join in person #sam and liam always making characters who offer one another reprieves into kindness that they don’t always get in the campaign setting #liam making orym after falling in love with keyleth as vax #marisha making laudna after matt’s storytelling with delilah and choosing vex as her body double #ashley using ‘i would like to rage’ and matt having kord ask her where she finds her strength #laura and matt always weaving these deeply complicated and emotional interactions between a daughter and a father #the gasps and yells and clapping when matt makes cool sound effects or reveals a map or breaks/ends on a cliff hanger #them ending both campaign 1 and 2 with ‘what a great/nice story’ and travis saying ‘let’s do it again!’ #and it’s like. yes yes i love the comics and i’m a fan of tlovm but . seeing this well produced thing that somehow mimics #the feeling i get sitting in my living room laughing with my roommates about my ranger’s giant rat failing to climb stairs #it’s very special it’s very sweet #critical role #sdcc 2023 #taliesin jaffe #travis willingham #marisha ray #ashley johnson #liam o’brien #matthew mercer #laura bailey #sam riegel #cr cast #critical role cast #my posts

just finished rewatching EXU: Calamity and once again cried so much. It really is one of the most masterful stories I've ever seen/heard, and absolutely the best actual play series ever done, bar none. I'm in such awe of Brennan's dm'ing skills, I adore Marisha's beautiful showing of emotions, I love seeing how much Sam and Travis love their children via how much they feel for these fictional ones, Luis' portrayal of Zerxus was so heartfelt and grounded, Lou always brings his whole soul into what he does and this was no exception, and Aabria being willing to make the difficult choices and how she shows Laerryn's dedication is just. Ugh. chefs kiss. Not to mention the group dynamics, the Aabria-Travis hype man squad, the Marisha-Lou/Marisha-Luis grabby shenanigans, how Sam and Aabria play the perfect divorcees, they're all just so fantastic and did such a good job, etc etc. I truly love Calamity so much, I can't believe it's a real show, I can't believe how fucking GOOD it is. Every single one of those people brought their A-game, but I really do especially have to call out Brennan Lee Mulligan. The way that man portrays people and humanity, how even in the end of things he speaks of the importance of hope, how he narrates and weaves the most beautiful tales and makes it so alive and tangible, how he knows exactly when to drop in some comedy amidst tragedy without detracting from it... he's simply fantastic. I'm in awe of them all!!

#exu: calamity #i have a headache from crying. it's honestly mostly sam's fault if he cries i start bawling #okay i lied i cried at so many things so THANK YOU MARISHA for crying just as much as me!! i love that! #exandria unlimited: calamity #brennan lee mulligan #sam riegel #aabria iyengar #marisha ray #travis willingham #luis carazo #critical role #exu: calamity spoilers #my post

Shauna and the baby were probably both going to die. depending on your interpretation of the dream realm, maybe for a time Shauna did die. something brought her back, or kept her from staying there. but it wasn't Mari's "wilderness, I hope Shauna doesn't die" or Travis' well intended but useless blood magic (recall Lottie "can't this just be enough? please?" it was never enough) or even the baby's death covering the symbol on the blanket in blood. those are futile hopes and bargains. the baby was already doomed. and the wilderness doesn't trade, we know this. it chooses. someone has to die. it took Crystal and spared Shauna. Shauna thinks she's been snubbed by the group and by extension the wilderness when it takes Javi and Nat is crowned, but what she fails to see is that she was chosen first. she keeps being chosen! not to die, to live. Coach Martinez dying to put her oxygen mask on. Jackie dying to later feed her. the wilderness taking Crystal (where is her body? it belongs to the wilderness now) to get Shauna through a dangerous labor. Nat dying in her place as the queen of hearts twenty-five years later. maybe it always did like Nat best, but it killed for Shauna first. and it kept killing for her. for girls like Shauna (and for girls like the Wilderness) isn't that just the shape love makes? a knife wound.

#shauna: i just want to be seen and loved and worshiped for the crazy bitch i am #the wilderness: i see and love and worship you for the crazy bitch you are #shauna: not like that i miss jackie #i think there's a solid argument that it killed nat's dad for her first but since it's pre-crash timeline i am going to respectfully exclud #that from my analysis lololol #for nat the shape of love is a bullet hole in this essay I will #shauna shipman #yellowjackets #lottie matthews #travis martinez #coach martinez #crystal yellowjackets #natalie scatorccio #mari yellowjackets

The yj subreddit is a cesspool of bad takes most of the time but I just saw someone make the connection between the strawberry lube and the fact that Shauna is shown eating "strawberries" when she's eating Jackie and I'm vibrating

#again it is just wild to me how people dont see the queer narrative between shaunajackie just bc it isnt explicitly spelled out for them #and even wilder that some people truly believe those of us that DO see it are engaging in a 'fantasy' #especially when things like this exist #or like every scene involving jackie and men but esp in doomcoming where she all but admits shes sleeping with Travis bc she loves shauna #how many people in that sub are like 'i saw queer vibes in the pilot but they dropped it the rest of the season' huh??? #did yall not see the dollhouse #did you not see saints #did you not see doomcoming #anyway rant aside #idk how ive never seen anyone point out the strawberry thing before #i love it #i wanna look for more jackie/strawberry parallels #yellowjackets

my favorite hc is that the chb head counselors (specifically the ones who were there and experienced the manhattan battle) are best friends.

they have sleepovers in the poseidon cabin (since it's just percy and tyson), they have monthy group outings where they just go out and get to be kids, sally invites them over at least once a week for dinner, they walk to activities together, they're so clingy it's ridiculous.

the campers who experienced the battle get it, because there's only so much death and parentification a literal teenager can take before needing to rely on others, so seeing percy carrying will piggy-back out of the med cabin, or watching clarisse chasing one of the stoll brothers around camp, or seeing annabeth, chris, and katie engaged in a heated debate over which area to plant the newest strawberry field, it's all normal to them.

they will absolutely die if they are not within twelve feet of each other, they legally have to be around each other at all times or else they will lose it. when percy got back to chb after his disappearance, the head counselors spent the day inside the poseidon cabin, all piled together in a demigod puppy pile, percy at the center with clarisse's elbow in his ribs, katie's knee hitting his temple, one of the stoll brothers attempting to use his knee as a back rest, pollux's hand dangerously close to smacking him in the face, and the biggest, happiest smile on his face.

#after writing the fic last night i'm having EMOTIONS ABOUT THEM #i love thalia and nico but i just think the chb year-round head counselors have a specific bond #they're obvi included when they're around #but yk what i mean #the group of travis katie connor chris clarisse annabeth percy grover pollux and will is so important to me #THEY HAVE ANXIETY AND TRAUMA AND ARE EACH OTHER'S EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TEAM #percy jackson and the olympians #heroes of olympus #percy jackson #annabeth chase #clarisse la rue #chris rodriguez #travis stoll #connor stoll #katie gardner #will solace #pollux pjo

Fearne, and to a lesser degree Ashton, spent a good part of 60 odd episodes trying push Imogen and Laudna together like dolls while saying “kiss!”

now that Fearne and to a lesser degree Ashton has shown some kind of interest in the other, it doesn’t strike me as odd that both Marisha/Laura as players and Imogen/Laudna as poorly socialized weirdos are returning the favor with far less subtlety

I mean Imogen and Laudna are the two besties that hooked up and now they want that for everyone in a very high school mentality (Marisha has said that Laudna’s development basically stopped when she died so her social skills are… rusty at best)

Anyway, the whole situation amuses me more than anything

pjo side characters have to be the funniest shits in the world. like all the campers at camp are all doing their own thing while the main characters go save the world for the hundredth time. I’ve fallen madly in love with every single one of them and all of Rick’s books that showcase just how chaotic and unhinged they are will always be my favourites. it’s sad that they’re background characters because they’ve got the potential to be so much more.

#I’ve got sm to say abt the side characters in pjo #they’re just so lively and human and real #you know?? #i kinda wanna write smth with them but like I suck at writing :((( #shuu rambles #percy jackon and the olympians #heroes of olympus #trials of apollo #side characters #cecil markowitz #ellis wakefield #drew tanaka #connor stoll #travis stoll #malcolm pace #chiara benvenuti #damien white #there are so many more #and I love them all <33
