Rewatching through EXU Calamity and I just want to give big props to Marisha and Aabria for going so hard on the “rip to that other guy but I’m different” vibes that the Age of Arcanum was overflowing with.
The ladies find a letter written in plain and simple language that essentially says “Wizards can’t be trusted with knowledge because they’re too ambitious so I won’t tell you what the tree does” and immediately went “well maybe not those ambitious wizards but we’re totally different ambitious wizards who definitely know what we’re doing and are so much better and cooler that we’ll definitely be able to handle what we find!”
The arrogance, the drama, the self-centered hubris of it all—god I wish we had more time with these two ego-maniacs!

The Ring of Brass endures.
i have made the mistake of beginning this series at a very emotionally low point and now i am just.... grieving for all of these people. of this city. of this land and i don’t think i will be okay for a long, long while. i know this is not my usual terror content but i just ... made this and i wanted to save it somewhere. oh my god i’ve never watched d&d, let alone critical role before i literally don’t go here but this series.
i will need some time to recover but oh. i am just continuously weeping while drawing my hands are all curled up. i only wanted to see more of brennan lee mulligan because i saw a short on youtube and thought he was a comedian i did not expect this. (again i’m sorry for inflicting this upon you all and offer you a textless version ??)

The Ring of Brass.
I have finished the rewatching of the series and its still top tier storytelling. One of my favourite short (ish) stories.

another calamity thought that i have like. every day. is that patia cast teleport in the finale. she cast teleport. she had that spell, she had access to it, she had the slot for it. she went off by herself and she cast teleport. and she used it to send all of her knowledge to a child who was safe, a child she trusted.
but the thing is. the thing is. she could have teleported herself. she could have so easily gone off alone, spoken to her grandfather’s statue, and left. left avalir, gone somewhere far away. do you understand. she could have left. she had the spell she had the slot. and patia por’co, instead, sent her knowledge and her memories and a small reminder of what the city once was to a girl who could make something better, and she fought and died with her friends, her family.
she could have left. and yet, i think, she always knew that she couldn’t.

And though Calamity is here, because of you it will not be here forever.
Guess who has two thumbs and made herself tear up re-watching the outro to transcribe some quotes?
Please let Calamity become an OVA or movie. I need my friends who don't watch actual plays to experience this story.
Bonus quote because it got me in a chokehold when I was listening for the first quote:
But at the end of it all: hope will return. As many times as it needs to.
