BURROW FROWS?!?!?!?!!?!?!

GIVE HER A VACATION MERCER!!!!

Bells Hells: Hey Allura do you wanna join us for the ✨team building exercises✨

Allura, who hasn't known rest in 30 years and drinking a mai tai: Sorry kids, mama's on vacation

HEY WHAT IF I CRIED?

"For the first time in a lifetime, you feel the rays of the rising sun. Like the warm embrace of a long lost brother."

Was hard to pick what scene to illustrate for this episode, but I went for the one that made me cry the most...

ABU REALLY SAID “I WANNA BE ROBOT DIONYSUS”

Southern Gothic (Imodna)

So... Is no one going to talk about how Laudna and Imogen are literally the sunxmoon trope but reversed. Imogen is the moon, Laudna is the sun because of their connections to Rudius and the Sun Tree. I don’t know if that was planned or if Laura and Marisha have realized it yet, but that’s so cute.

5 CR campaigns/mini-series/one-shots I wanna see

EXU: DIVERGENCE -- Specifically I think it would really rad if the cast wasn't playing Exandrians experiencing the divergence, but if they played the GODS. Like I could so see Travis as the Storm Lord and Marisha as the Matron of Raven, maybe even if they brought Brennan back to play Asmodeus. I think it would be just a really sick parallel to the Ring of Brass sacrificing themselves at the end of Calamity, with the Gods deciding to willingly (or maybe not willingly) lock themselves beyond the Divine Gate.

EXU: ARCANUM -- Pre- pre- Calamity so we get the full experience of the Age of Arcanum. ONE CONDITION: Marisha must play the woman that later become the Matron, and the finale must be her ascension. I just feel like Marisha is so connected to the Matron through Keyleth and Vax, Laudna, and Patia, so anything involving the Matron being a PC has to be Marisha in my mind.

WHITESTONE MINI-SERIES -- You all remember those movies on Netflix about like a town in like 1897 then 1995 and so on? I want that! But with Whitestone. Taliesin DM-ing a Whitestone Mini-series where every episode or every few episodes it switches time would be so sick. Like ep 1 could be the Dawnfather fight, then ep 2 is De Rolos coming to town, then the whole Von Musel fiasco, then it comes back around with the second-to-last episode being the death of the De Rolos and the Rise of the Briarwoods, then the finale could be them all playing Percy and Vex's kids modern day.

RUIDIAN ONE-SHOT -- I need a Cobalt Soul-esque one shot where it's like the resistance on Ruidus against the Imperium and the Mind-Weavers. Pre- Bloody Bridge, of course. But just getting to see more Ruidus would be so sick!!!

CALAMITY AFTERMATH -- I want to see Travis play an older Kir Argupnin so fucking badly. Like maybe they are in Vassalheim or Wildemount. I once saw this theory (I actually think it was in a fan fiction, but whatever) where Elias and Avandrin have a strained relationship when Elias gets older because he connects with the Wildmother, and Elias is actually the Unknown Champion in the lake in the Blooming Grove. Also we could see the start of the Cobalt Soul, if that VERY POPULAR theory is true.

Feel free to add more !!!

if i had a nickel for every time a critical role pc with ties to aeor died to save their friends and their player returned to play a tall cow man who is also a healer i would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

THEIR CROSSING THE STREAMS

Is Brennan just playing boggy as a person?

spoilers e97

I have an idea for what that creature was that they fought at the beginning of the episode. During the fight, Matt said something interesting, the creature siphons magic. It did nothing against Orym, but he doesn’t have innate magic. I wonder— is that thing Aeor’s version of the Taxmen? Aeor was clever, it had spies everywhere and in EXU: Calamity it felt like Avalir and Aeor were direct rivals. What if someone saw the Taxmen that Nydas made and took that information back to Aeor? The taxmen siphoned magic and dealt damage “proportional to the highest spell slot a person is holding” in the Age of Arcanum that would be pretty helpful, and the fact that Matt specifically said that creature was trying to take something from Orym and said, “Well your a fighter, you’re fine.” Reminds me so much of the Taxmen. If that thing had hit someone like Imogen or Fearne, I could see Matt asking for their highest spell slot. I don’t know if I’m crazy or maybe it’s because EXU: Calamity is my Roman Empire but that creature had a bigger role in Aeor’s plan.
