I love mishearing epic lyrics and just taking it as my own cannon

A very famous example of this being:

“Well done you’ve lied to me what’s your name” - Warrior of the mind

My personal favourites though are:

“Throw their bodies back into the water, watch them drown” - Different beast

“Faster! Faster! Bastard!” - Mutiny

It just adds that little bit of ✨spice✨

I’m so incredibly excited about The Mighty Nein series.

I legit think about it so much especially when I’m having a hard time because yea sure today may suck but we get to see the absolute shenanigans of the MN soon

It’s become that much of a comforting thought that my partner asks me questions about the actual campaign and for what I think will happen in the show. Or just for headcannons about the MN or VM

I’d like to know what everyone is excited for too!! Or for your own personal headcannons if you’d like to share!!

And have a wonderful day/night/time!!

It is now canon that Jester gives Caleb art lessons 🥰

From the Chicago live show!

I love my bf so much because I showed them a photo of Imogen and laudna and he took one good look at them and said.

“They look like high end monster high dolls”

And honestly? He’s absolutely right about that and now I kinda want them turned into dolls

caduceus is autistic evidence post :-)

*not an actual theory post, jus headcanons based on canon scenes + some extra thoughts too just kidding im right

Monotone voice, basically never shouts.. like when he said “i dont mean to raise my voice” after speaking at the exact same level consistently..

Kinda talks in a mumbly way and stutters a lot

The way he very often has a very blank, kinda-smiling expression when people are talking to him.. audio processing face

Doesn’t get a lot of jokes, or when he’s being flirted with. also the jokes he does get (and find very funny) are usually very specific (and about death probably, which weirds out tmn a bit lol) or he has to process them for a moment before understanding, which has happened a lot.. he’s like :-3? …. :-0 oh :-D !

Also, a few times he has laughed at odd/inappropriate times. kinda just at nothing or something no one else was laughing at. which is apparenlty quite common for autistic folks to do, bc of like getting a bit lost in ur own thoughts and think of funny things etc…..

Sorta related (to jokes, and things), but he takes so many things literally. like that time when beau jokingly asked if he’d ever met a ghost that didn’t need punching and he thought about it until he had an answer :’). and also when beau said to fjord (about cad) “like, he was living in the middle of the cemetery” and cad was like “Of course i was, thats where the temple is, the middle of the cemetery”. 

He notices EVERYTHING… all these tiny details and noises no one else hears… this happens to me and so i have decided to project this onto cads super high perception. 

In Darktow he had to leave that tavern/bar because it got too loud for him and he got stressed n went and sat outside until fjord came looking for him. (also the “lets keep this.. between the amigos” “which part of the body is the amigos?” thing jksnfkjs)

Also that one time in Rexxentrum that he had a bad perception roll? matt described the city and all the colours and shapes being too overwhelming (to the point of almost vertigo) to think clearly and spot where they needed to go.

He says the same phrases A Lot. (which i have recently found out is called Scripting, and applies to a bunch of things.. mostly used by autistic folks to get through conversations.) “that’s nice”,“thats really nice”, “thats so cool”. “that was a lot” are th most common ones i think. he uses them in some instances that are very high emotion too. like, he’ll almost die and then say “wow… that was. that was a lot.” 

Also repeats back new phrases or words he likes (“worth their salt” and “fracas”) ..the echolalia of it all. 

also a moment in the pirate arc where he uses the word “astute” while talking to beau before admitting that he heard someone else say it and is just copying someone and trying to use it too. luckily he used it correctly (and then him and beau both awkwardly run off to do their own things).

Struggles to express emotions outwardly.. for example: he just repeats “thats nice” etc. about everything he likes and loves. the mushroom cookbook jester gives him for example. also he barely makes eye contact with her in that scene and doesnt rly know what to do or say because mushroom! cookbook! thats so nice :’)

and also! he doesn’t rly express when he’s uncomfortable, even when he is Deeply deeply uncomfortable, like in the arboretum. He just quietly said they needed to get out, put his head down and didn’t look at the trees, even though he was visibly super shaken. just had to get out of there. (this was of course partly some kind of trauma response too, but it also read as very nd to me)

Also him having a panic attack on the boat, when his entire world view got thrown off.. i choose to think its bc autistic folks tend to think rly black-and-white, rly absolute, a lot of the time. so in this case its “following the destined path of the wildmother” vs “completely off-track and all a huge mistake and should never have left home and its all gone wrong”

Also i think he finds sudden changes scary. he was super shaken about the nein just stealing a whole boat unplanned…and other things similarly unplanned. idk it just had the vibes of if someone took away your routine and everything familiar… and you’re just like free-floating. its hard to function like that 

Also related to that… doesnt like when there isn’t a plan n gets stressed about it. also often the first person to ask the nein to clarify exactly what they’re all going to do/make a plan. (first thing he asks jester when she comforts him on the boat is “miss jester, do you have a plan?” and she doesn’t and never has.. he doesnt really get that vry much

He really struggles to explain things that are upsetting to him. tries to speak but can only get th same few words out. yea ik he is super emotionally repressed but i am also looking autistically. 

He doesn’t really understand if people are insulting him. like king dwendal and also eadwulf both said rude things to him and he just replied as polite as he could even tho he was confused.

Cant help himself, gotta correct people about things he knows more about (special interest energy….). like when beau called his graveyard a cemetery and he corrected and explained the difference :’ )

the way he re-explains how his tea grows when its mentioned too. and that he’s a maker of fine graves and the work his family does. its like his wee script every single time . he rly cares abt it

Also just his particular brand of strange just reads very autisticly to me. (even his own family think he’s odd. sidenote: clarabelle is autistic too bc i say so.) the way he says odd little phrases that don’t quite make sense and things to plants. the way he says what he thinks, to the point of being rude and blunt and invasive sometimes. the way he doesnt give a shit and just wears what he likes. idk :’) makes me happy.

Oh, and relating to him being blunt. I think that a few scenes when he’s said questionable things or given questionable advice is emblematic of that… he says a literal solution. or a solution that makes sense (to his worldview.. faith the the wildmother) and is technically an option, but he doesn’t quite understand the emotional side of why someone does something, or doesn’t do it.

He’s good at fitting into EMT or wise-old-sage mode and outside of that he’s just, kind of awkward and spacey (and silly). like, when his script or role is taken away he tends to flounder a bit. or a lot, sometimes. and just says stuff and seems just as baffled abt what he said too.

Said bluntness and inability to see when his advice is appropriate or not also means that sometimes he is just rude.. he does'nt mean to be but he sometimes oversteps or is just vry blunt in a way that offends people, and doesn’t seem to entirely realise either

Just some headcanons but. i think he special interests tea, cooking, and all things surrounding death/burial… he always has things to say about those topics and i think thats neat.

he’s so tired a lot of the time, he says it kind of often . which, disability coded to meee. other things but i think also his brain hurts from everything all the time. adjusting . noise. adjusting.

i just know he loves ritual. in making tea, in cooking, in religion and prayer, in gardening, in communing etc etc etc

And lastly, he pat the moss. because :-) stimmy

he knows what it actually means, he's just fucking with her

based on this tweet:

(and yes, he's wearing the caduceus jacket I made)

With the Mighty Nein animated series being in the works, there’s one thing I’m really hoping for and I don’t know if it’ll happen.

I want the little details of Caleb casting spells to be there, like how Liam describes the components and how he uses them. I would love it if we just had a zoomed in shot of him grabbing stuff out of his pouch and smooshing it together and then BOOM ✨magic✨

Because I swear Liam does it almost every time while everyone else is just like ‘imma cast this at this level’ so it would be so funny if everyone else casting spells was (unless it was a big moment) to just be BAM ✨magic✨

Reblog if it’s ok for people to give you $599.99

Thank you for tagging me!! And that’s kinda awesome as long as you weren’t badly hurt!!

It’s kinda hard to pick just one tbh, but I have a mark on my forehead from when I was about 6ish months old because my mum dropped a VHS on my head. It’s super noticeable and I absolutely love it

My boyfriend and I recently got a bird together (we now have 3 total) and two of them are named after lion king characters due to a family tradition, so ofc when we got our baby bird I tried to keep that tradition.

But obviously with me getting super back into Critical Role I gave only one name suggestion, now the tradition is out the window so say hi to Artagan or Arty

He is a cinnamon turquoise conure and he’s an absolute menace of a baby but we love the chaos. Also I named him that because he is the traveler (we had to drive 6 hours total to get him) and he’s got them orange eyebrows

THIS ABSOLUTELY THIS MY GOD. I love that he goes from a stray starved cat to a happy fat old indoor cat

moar fat caleb. he has tried every single kind of soup that the kryn has to offer. by the time jester and fjord have a kid he's very solidly the picture of kindly uncle. he goes shopping in zadash and someone briefly mistakes him for another pumat clone.

i love the fat caleb agenda so much. the idea hes so big that even pumat would see him and make jokes that they're the same size? thats one big ginger wizard especially one who's human and started out starving! i said it in the last fat caleb ask but he would truly thrive as the professor stereotype that involves sweet middle aged men that do Not remotely fit into the tweed jackets they wear to their classes, but somehow it stays on anyway. he gets home and essek rushes to take it off him to admire him with that soft purple gaze.

Some more otgw head cannons if you please (Sorry it’s been a literal year for these bad boys)

For the first little while after getting home, Greg would be hesitant to sleep in his room without having several night lights on, so one day while Greg is out of the house. Wirt puts a bunch of those glow in the dark stars on the ceiling of Greg’s room, it’s safe to say the gesture was appreciated.

Sara would be a fan of baking little treats for her friends birthdays. Which is something Wirt absolutely adores about her and it’s a good excuse for them to spend time together while Greg ‘helps’

Greg likes to customise random items he owns, either by painting them or adding a little ✨something✨ to give them a little more character (for a long time it was just a crude caricature of Jason funderberker)

Wirt would probably collect taxidermy and give them names either related to poets or someone he meet in the unknown with one of his favourites being a Agrias beatifica viso he named Beatrice.

Wirt would often re-arrange his room because of his intrest of interor design which wouldn't be an issue by his parents, if he did it at a resonable time insted of the middle of the night, while quietly humming songs to himself during his bouts of insomnia

Sometimes the boys forget if certain things happened in or outside of the unknown and catch eachother slipping up

If either of them have a ‘life flashing before my eyes’ moment they’ll just look to the other and say

“Welp just saw the woodsman, that was lovely. I’m gonna go sit down now”

With the M9 being so close together to the point that jester reading smut out loud is like talking about the weather. (Slight nsfw ahead)

Do they go to sex shops together? How many times have they just fucked with some poor shop keep by being like.

“Oh yeah we’re all together, we each have two hands’’

“And one mouth”

“And one mouth”

Like I can see them all just happily going around a sex shop together, with Jester enjoying looking at all the dongs for ‘inspiration’ and everyone taste testing lubes like it’s fine wine, messing around with some stuff and one of them just being like.

“Well shit I’ve just learned something new about myself”

Veth, Jester and Beau giving Essek suggestions on toys and stuff for Caleb and he’s like.

“You know way to much about eachother”

With jester piping up.

“Yea and we’ve only seen him naked like twice!”

Dude I’m so hype for this season you don’t understand IM GONNA BE SO POOR AND IM OKAY WITH IT

last one for them

Happy birthday to me!! I’ve made it my 21st and holy wow it’s weird to think about but I’ll post a photo of my birthday cake later!! It’s OTGW themed with wirt in a pond!! (Like frog in a pond but ya know wirt)

It looks even better with actual candle lighting it makes it’s even better holy wow

I love Greg and snufkin chilling out so much they’re all so stinking cute holy moly I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

I can't be stopped, I made more while streaming OTGW in the background. @tamtamandtim thanks for the suggestion with the tavern keeper! seriously, the OTGW characters are so fun to draw

watching it again reminded me Wirt plays clarinet, oops, drew him with the wrong instrument last time. i'll just have to make another one, oh what a shame 🙃

I imagine Snufkin encourages Wirt to read his poetry to Sara while playing background music, hahahah

IM SO HAPPY RN LIKE HOLY WOW THIS IS GIVING ME SO MUCH JOY I ALSO FEEL LIKE GREG AND SNUFKIN WOULD BE MILD CHAOS BUDDIES

i need snufkin and wirt to have a crossover episode

I just finished the first season of gravity falls and HOLY SHIT ITS GOOD LIKE I KNEW IT WOULD BE BUT HOLY WOW

I’ll probably talk about it more in the morning but it’s almost midnight lol

OKAY SO ITS MORNING NOW >:))

Soos is already my favourite character because he’s just like me fr fr

Mabel and Stan have such a chaotic and beautiful dynamic even when their beefing but in saying that man Mabel was on her ‘lying is bad’ high horse for a little bit longer than I thought she would but it’s kinda fun watching her change to ‘I’ve been cheating for the last three rounds’

I found it so funny just how often dipper would whip out the book at any sign of an oddity and with little to no regard about who really saw it

I DONT KNOW HOW IVE NEVER WATCHED GRAVITY FALLS BUT OH. I AM A FOOL.

IVE BEEN ALIVE FOR (almost) 21 YEARS AND IVE NEVER. WATCHED A FULL EPISODE OF THIS AND IM MAD AT MYSELF FOR IT

THIS IS AMAZING I LOVE IT AND JUST YESSIR

Anyways it’s (probably) going to take over my life and if so you better be ready for me to be insufferable

Anyways have a wonderful day/night/afternoon!!

I don’t know about y’all but I love and hate when I’m wearing a particular outfit or listen to a particular song my brain just goes.

‘heheh oh this makes me think of {insert character here}…..okay now we’re gonna think like them and listen to music that they’d probably enjoy and throw you out of wack’

like please tell me I’m not alone in this???

GRRRR THIS MAKES ME SO EXCITED FOR THE SKY COLLAB LIKE HOLY CRAP AAAAA

That time Matt had to "How do I want to do this?" himself

Do u think that bc Cult of the Lamb is Australian it'd be funny if they had aussie accents

I’ve been listening to Critical Role (Campaign 2) again for the first time in a hot minute and I’m even more certain that Caduceus and Snufkin would be friends like holy shit or at the very least tea drinking buddies I need that in my life so desperately holy wow

me, the motherfucker with over 50 abandoned works in progress: i have an idea

Snufkin & Moomin & Snorkmaiden are OG polygamy representation

I ran into a friendly traveler on my way
