Critical Role! D&D With Nerdy-Ass Voice Actors

Spoiler

Grog's beard is the most important subplot

 

Spoiler

this is true. it never stops being important x3

 

matt's Dealing With Scanlan faces are the best

we've all had to deal with that one player

 

Related: a slightly spoilery excerpt from one of my reaction posts. (from episode...31? Somewhere in there.)

Spoiler

mood: Matt's face when he heard the word "triceratops"

 

Spoiler

Viktor the blackpowder merchant is the best. Taliesin's face through that entire scene just screams "matt. matt wat. matt why. matt pls. what have i done to deserve this"

 

Spoiler: 18

I love Zahra and Lyra's interactions with the regular members. Felicia Day has a good sense of how to play an obnoxious character without actually being obnoxious to the other players. And Zahra is a total flirt but still manages more dignity and hauteur than the rest of the party put together.

 

Spoiler

I just started what I am calling the "dragons wreck fucking everything" arc and I AM NOT OKAY

"do you think this is what mother saw before she died"
"I want to kill that dragon or I want to die trying"
The Fire Ashari
Liam's face every time they talk about Gilmore being missing

I am unokay

 

Spoiler: 19

"How do you want to do this?"
*main cast fucking loses it, Laura is hugging Mary, everyone is cheering*
Mary (excitedly): "I don't know what that means!!"

 

One of my favorite moments so far

 

Spoiler: 20

1) these poor fuckers don't even know they're chasing a shapeshifter. "Guy with a tiger's head should be easy to find right?"
2) I'm glad Vax is there to do the talking in the murder mystery adventure, since the party otherwise consists of a bunch of grumpy assholes and Keyleth

 

Spoiler: 21

I really love that the way they hit the rakshasa's stupidly specific vulnerability (magic piercing weapon wielded by a good character) is wildshape-Keyleth's fangs. A blessed crossbow bolt might be more traditional, but shapeshifting into a tiger to battle a tiger-like shapeshifter is appropriate on several mythic levels at once.

EDIT: OMG, Vax is so pissed that it threatened Vex he tries to toss the corpse in the acid without even taking the extremely valuable body parts <3

 

Spoiler: 23

I'm starting to see why Orion's not around much longer. Scanlan's annoying but at least Sam doesn't shush other players. Dickhead. :/

That said, though, I kind of wish he'd learned to share the spotlight, because on an in-character level I really like Tiberius and Keyleth's weird awful friendship? They try to rein in each other's worst decisions and fail so spectacularly.

 

Spoiler: 24

Amazing things:
Briarwood arc coming up, yesssss
Vax SHAVING GROG'S BEARD

 

BOUNCES YES you approaching probably my fave arc, I am excite.
God I can't believe I started watching live over a year ago, it feels like only a month @.@ I think I'd caught up at around ep 18 or so? Geeze.

 

God, aren't they in the 70s by now and putting one out ~every week? If I don't catch up over this winter break I'll never manage it...

Spoiler: more amazing 24

"Like everything I build, it has a chance to explode"
the "WATER BURNS" running gag
Vax beating up a literal child and breaking into his parents' house to apologize

 

I am mid-Briarwoods and it is in fact great

 

Spoiler: briarwoods

evil and hot and furiously in love with each other? my JAM yo. Also Vax's persistent bi boner for the both of them brings me great great joy. I did a pinup of the three of them one time and it remains one of my fave fanarts I ever did x33

 

Sometimes they're good at improvising quasi-premodern dialogue and sometimes they're really, really not

(It isn't like I could do better, though)

 

they lapse into buffyspeak so much (lookin at you keyleth) and I love it.

also whenever vax starts off all nicely eloquent in his vax accent (vaxent) and just calls somebody a fucknut (or similar) out of nowhere. that's my fave.

 

Spoiler: 24

The entire party collapses screaming at Vax's almost certain doom: meanwhile, Liam throws up the fucking horns in honor of Matt's cliffhanger

We should all have his attitude to imminent PC death
