Hilarity and a meme.
May. 2nd, 2020 07:42 pmIf you want a good laugh, then you got to watch the Critical Role cast attempt to do a storytime version of the "telephone" game. The first video was just them testing out the format, just wanting to do something fun, and then the second episode just came out and it's even longer and more hilarious. Basically, we see how everything just derails and their reactions to it, my face hurt from smiling/laughing too much. Which is quite frequent with this bunch. Even though they're quarantined, they're still able to produce such entertaining content, basically just being themselves and making each other, and us, laugh. It's so great, I love these people so much.
And now, a fandom meme to pass the time:

Date: 2020-05-03 08:50 pm (UTC)Favorite character: From campaign one, definitely Vex. From campaign two, it's a three-way tie between Beau, Fjord, and Caleb.
Funniest character: Keyleth, from campaign one. It was often very unintentional on her part, but the way Marisha played her made almost every moment very hilarious, creating some of the most memorable moments. But overall, every character has their moments of being absolutely funny in both campaigns, nobody is safe or regarded as being unfunny, both PC and NPCs.
Most attractive character: From campaign one: Vex, Vax, Percy, and Gilmore. From campaign two: Beau, Fjord, and Reani. As for the cast playing the characters, well, they're all pretty so that's unfair.
Three favorite ships: From campaign one: Vex/Percy, Vax/Percy, Vax/Gilmore. From campaign two: Fjord/Caleb, Beau/Reani, Beau/Jester
Least favorite character: I have to admit to not being that fond of Scanlan in the first campaign. I acknowledge his importance, but I just wasn't that enamored with his character.
Least favorite ship: From campaign one: Scanlan/Pike, I just felt like it was very rushed and not well-developed, since it happened at the very last few episodes of the campaign as to just wrap it all up. From campaign two: Fjord/Jester, Jester/Caleb, Caleb/Essek. I just don't get the appeal, at all.
Why I started watching it: I was vaguely curious about some of the things I saw going around, mostly because Ashley Johnson was involved in this little thing and eventually sought out clips on YouTube and then eventually ended up watching a random episode midway through the first campaign to understand what was going on.
Reason why I continue(d) to watch it: It's entertaining, it's hilarious, and the storytelling is captivating. It's basically four/five hours every Thursday night watching these people play their D&D game and it's probably more fascinating than most scripted television. I grew to love the people who play the game and what they bring to it every single time, and it never fails to make me smile.
