gatheringbones:

half the reason i like critical role is the experience of watching it. they’re all such good funny friends, they all like each other so well, and they’re having a marvelous time. watching them as like, event television once a week is like getting to hang out with a big group of people on a weeknight. you just soak in all that delighted energy.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the loud, messy, disastrous, but desperately caring and worried scene Vax wakes up to:

– His sister shoots literal lightning and fire with a scream of grief and rage

– Scanlan is standing in a broken window singing his heart out and twice saving Vax from certain death, broken glass shivering midair with the power of his magic

– Percy is sprinting in front of the castle firing Bad News

– Grog is roaring and in a rage

Listen, it’s chaos, but they are all trying so hard to protect him and it’s one hell of a thing to wake up to. (Not to mention the people who just nearly killed him looming over his body on the ground, which has got to be terrifying as fuck).

But this is as serious as I’ve seen Vox Machina yet and you know Vax knows they care. If there was ever any doubt in his mind. They care so fucking much y’all
