Status Update✨

Hey guys! As many of you have probably noticed, I haven’t been around nearly as much as I used to be anymore. The good news is that I am alive, and very busy-busy!

I don’t have so much time for critrole or fic these days, but I am still writing creatively and playing as much d&d as possible. I’m sure sooner or later I’ll get around to watching campaign 3 (and it looks AMAZING), plus I’m already stoked for TLOVM. I’ll still be around—maybe not making content like I used to, but I also won’t make any promises one way or another.

When I started this blog I was just a little freshman in college. As the years have gone on, I’ve graduated, moved out, gotten a job, and now I’m romping through my early 20s. But this blog, and all the support and friendship I’ve received from fellow critters has been an incredibly powerful part of my life. From the bottom of my heart and with the utmost sincerity, I would not be where I am now without you.

So—this isn’t a goodbye post, I’m sure I’ll still be lurking here for a long time to come. I just wanted to let you all know that I’m still kickin’, I’m still writing, and I still very much love all of you and having been even a small part of this community.

the casts favourite murph sounds (as listed by the cast)

  • "eMILY!"
  • riz chowing down
  • "oh no"
  • when he goes from sitting stoically with arms crossed to bursting out laughing within a split second
  • "buh-buh-bum..."
  • "I HAVE JUST AS GOOD A CHANCE OF ROLLING WELL AS ANY OF YOU"
  • *possum noises*
  • his rich person laugh
  • the barely audible grunt when he rolls like a three

it is so funny to see Brennan finally give in and serve a look after holding out all through A Court of Fey and Flowers resolutely giving "some guy" for ten episodes while everybody else's clothes and makeup got progressively more insane.

Karna Solara throughout the Ravening War! I’m such a sucker for frighteningly talented children turning into even more scary adults. The fact that she literally ripened is such a good visual for that 👀

someone: hey I noticed this thing you did in your writing!

me, kicking my feet up flirtatiously: oh??? do you want to hear my thoughts on why I did that? do you want a play-by-play of the language choices in every related sentence? do you want an exhaustive breakdown of The Themes???

I find there is a 50/50 chance of this situation being:

a) Wow, I'm really glad you noticed that! I spent ages considering the implications and how it ties into the themes. Please let me talk to you for three hours straight about my thought process.

or

b) Erm... that thing... yeah... that was definitely a deliberate thing... I absolutely meant for that thing to be there honest

episode 5 of the ravening war is actually so funny because karna is looking at deli with heart eyes, deli is looking at colin with heart eyes, and colin is looking at raphaniel with exasperation as the weird little radish priest tries to fuck a wet biscuit and crawls up the walls like he’s in the exorcist. love wins.

Bad ending: consumed by grief, he would turn to violence, conquering the Unseelie, blaming them and the Seelie blindly for his lover's demise.

Good thing it didn't happen... not this way.

What about a d10 list of minimal to major spell failure blunders?

  1. Your spell ricochets wildly, striking not only your intended target (though only in a glancing blow), but allies, passers-by, and the landscape itself. The damage is immense.
  2. You find yourself two feet shorter than usual for the next 24 hours after a spell gone awry.
  3. Everyone in the spell's vicinity begins to hiccup large green bubbles that leave a scent of watermelon when popped.
  4. You teleport where you intended to. Your clothes, however, do not.
  5. The target of the spell is concussed as though you had thrown a solid object at them instead of magic.
  6. At first you think the spell simply failed. It is only that evening that you discover tiny pinprick holes in every article of clothing you own.
  7. An invisible fire starts. You can only see the smoke, but the shouts of nearby civilians tells you the first is most certainly real.
  8. Every animal in a mile radius is drawn to the smoldering remains of your spell components, and each and every one of them can speak temporarily.
  9. Your spell hits a target - just not the one you intended. Somewhere, unbeknownst to you, someone feels the effects of the spell and their dreams are haunted by your voice.
  10. Your misguided spell attempt renders you unable to carry a tune for the rest of your days.
