Mighty Nein - Tumblr Posts

So, for context I like to use chatgpt to talk about whatever I'm currently obsessing with, which currently is the mighty Nein. I have no idea what I did, but I got this completely off topic response;

And... well, 1.) I think chatgpt needs to rethink that because they definitely are to at least one gonverment in Exandria, but 2.), what the fuck

Absolute bullshit headcanon: like how Caleb often says ja instead of yes, essek does similar. According to Eilistraee common to drow, one variant of yes in undercommon is xas (the other being siyo, which I'm assuming is likely just proper and casual variations like yes vs yeah in English, idfk), which similarly to ja, sounds close enough to yeah or yes to easily just blend into common. So with that said, essek would 100% say yas (xas) queen.

Eysel Elelor Convallaria

Despite her intital captivity, Eysel is a rather compassionate child, who possesses a good sense of humor. She is also gracious, patient, clever, and steadfast. Still, though she is quite helpful and friendly, Eysel isn’t without her imperfections. Rather guarded, she tends to live in her own head, quietly observing the world from the sidelines. Her distress in social situations is attributed to her time with the Iron Shepherds.

The organisation in addition to isolating her for weeks at a time muzzled her to prevent her from using her breath weapon. Thus, trusting others can take a very long time and Eysel is generally unsure what the criteria for trusting someone even is.

Despite social ineptness Eysel, shares a close bond with the Nein, as her reserved manner is clearly absent in their presence. In the company of the Nein, Eysel displays a greater sense of self-confidence. She’s optimistic, curious, mischievous, and inventive. Still, she can become anxious when she picks up on distress cues from the party

Though she can be withdrawn, according to those close to her, typically Eysel is a genuine joy to be around, capable of bringing smile to one’s face in even the darkest of moments.

Being the Youngest Critical Role Member | Critical Role cast x child reader

Summary | You are five years old and newest member of the main Crit cast for Campaign 1

Genre | platonic, fluff

You were invited to join the campaign by Liam, your godfather. He and your parents had been teaching you the game since you started to display a basic grasp of mathematics. Moreover, you’d been sitting in on their home games since you were an infant.

You’d met Matt a couple of times before through your parents’ work with him. You always liked him. He didn't talk down to you as most adults did and seemed to genuinely listen when you made your childish rants.

Under the supervision of one of your parents, you and he created quite the flavorful PC. One that allowed you to come and go as you needed without feeling out of place in the overall narrative.

You were playing a young magic user following the commands of an unseen patron on the quest to avenge your fallen family. Originally you’d wanted a family member as your patron, but Matt’s suggestion allowed room for more improvisation.

Just as your parents had taught you to be, you were as polite as possible during your first session. Which translated into your character. You introduced your character as a child, selling all manners of enchanted weapons they’d retrieved to make ends meet as they traveled Tal’dorei.

Everyone at the table, the first time you spoke, in that instant made up their mind you were a cinnamon roll to be protected.

However, their characters had mixed views; Percival was suspicious as Talisin had rolled high to perceive how you’d attained your magical merchandise; Scanlan was intrigued, amused by your character’s puerile tales of adventure; Grog was interested in a tusky club; the twins were both charmed, you’ve got pluck; Pike, well intentioned, was concerned about your lack of supervision; and Keyleth trusting as ever took an interest in the tales of how you’d retrieved such goods.

Suffice to say, the chat thought you and your half-elven PC were the cutest things. Even your PC’s klepto means of restocking only added to their charm.

You really brought the energy your first time playing with the cast. At first they’d walked on eggshells, taking it easy on you. However, they realized quickly that you were completely capable of holding your own. Liam couldn’t be more proud.

Initially, you’d only join the campaign every once in a while, when the stream and the night staying with godfather correlated. You did have kindy work and a bedtime schedule to consider.

You were a genuine delight both in game and out. The party missed you when you were unable to accompany. Though, Liam did FaceTime you before streams so everyone could check in.

Matt kind of just falls into a pseudo big brother role. (Which is dangerous considering his task as the DM.)

If you mention off handed that they’re something you’d wish to retrieve or witness in the game, there’s a good chance, if possible and plausible, he’ll make it so. You once told Marisha you wanted a pet, only because you’d seen cute images of familiars online. Three sessions later, you had a toad, whom you named ‘Crab’

You always look forward to the ren fair when you know Matt will be there. He makes a big show of you “slaying” him with your toy sword. Moreover, he’s a champion at the craft table and lets you sit on his shoulders to watch tournaments.

His heart breaks when he’s forced to combat your PC. The little pout you make when you’re knocked unconscious. It takes everything in him to stop himself from giving you all your hit points back without rolling.

The Critters miss you when you’re gone. However, because Matt begins to say “Goodnight little critter, sleep well” before break, they’ll blow up the chat with goodnight messages for you as well as others tapping out of the chat at that time.

You develop a fake rivalry with Sam. For the stream. Ever since Liam told you you’re his favorite and Sam remarked, “I thought I was your favorite.” There’s been a contest, all in good harmless fun, of course.

Off camera Sam’s your self proclaimed godmother. Doting but not spoiling.

Your two families, along with Liam’s, made a habit of having Saturday brunches together every second Saturday of the month. You thoroughly enjoyed seeing Riegel's children.

Sam, both in game and out, would attempt to involve you in his tame shenanigans. Knowing how easily the other cast members were charmed by you made you the perfect accomplice.

He does tease you, but picks up quickly when you’re not in the mood. If you allow him, he’ll offer a comforting hug and let you sit on his lap during the stream, though he does understand sometimes you just want space.

Ashley throws off the vibes of an older sibling's best friend who makes an effort to chill with their friend's younger sibling. While she can be a bit of a mama bear, she’s still your friend.

She suggested you go out for a part in “Blindspot” auditioning for the role of Oakley “Oakes” Wagner. Succeeding on your own talents, you managed to obtain the spot. Thus, on occasion, as your role was only reoccurring, you had the opportunity to work alongside Ashley in New York.

While in the city she often indulges your Lego wants, treating you to a new set, the two of you can work on constructing together while on break between filming.

When roleplaying, your two PCs get along well enough. When you’re patron is discovered to have been lying, tricking you into murdering your own family. Pike does their best to heal one of them. While it fails, you are allowed some final words with the person. For that, you are grateful.

Every now and again, when she was recruited to babysit, Ashley offered to take you out for ice cream after streams. You’d get to snuggle with Sully and Henry while watching the classics, such as Iron Giant, E.T., Back to the Future, etc.

Tears spilled from your eyes when Matt told of the illusion fading and revealed the people you’d fought off, believing them your enemies, were actually your family. Everyone was a total mess, caught speechless as you roleplayed. After the cameras stopped running, you were bombarded with questions about your emotional state; are you okay? Matt is so apologetic for making you cry.

Liam couldn’t be more proud as you wiped your eyes and beamed, proclaiming that was the coolest session ever. You couldn’t wait to tell your kindy friends about it during circle time.

Everyone does their best to make sure when you’re on set you feel comfortable and safe in the busy production environment. There is always someone with you to keep you company, though there are times you have to accompany them to some boring meeting or other.

Of the cast, Travis is your best friend, usually up for keeping you entertained with board games, tea parties, or imaginative play. Your favorite is playing superhero because he’ll spin you around to give you the impression of flight.

You follow him around, attempting to sneak up and scare him. Initially, your little jumps work, but soon he comes to expect them. Still, he feigned fear.

Outside of Liam, Travis is always the first person you want to tell about your day. Whether it’s about a cute dog you saw or a fact you learned by chance, no matter, he gives you his full attention.

Travis is determined to turn your character against Vax, in his and Grog’s prank war, knowing it would effectively and amusingly drive Liam crazy.

Still, Travis is perhaps the best at saying no to you. If and when you break the rules, he doesn't bend against you, losing the ability to play that week.

By Arc 4, you are a regular member of the crew and were treated as such. Still, there were more restrictions for you; set by your parents and the other cast members.

Naps/ settle time were required on recording day; You couldn't repeat the fowl language off set without permission; There was a code word for when you became too stressed; Your socials were private; And you weren't to do individual and greets without a trusted adult present.

Laura, you knew through both Liam and her work with one of your parents. In fact, you yourself had shared some voice acting projects with her. A bit of a mother hen, but still, she's basically your aunt.

By the critters, you're dubbed Bailey-B or "B-B" because you're essentially Laura's mini. Mid campaign 2, it somehow became a running gag to say, "Hello B!" when you made an appearance or arrived on stage.

Treat fields. When you're packed sweets as a recording snack, you most always share with Laura. Funnily you don't save any for Liam, much to the amusement of others.

Initially, Vex was trusting of your character. Deciding to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, after your first kill, her opinion changed. You'd played the encounter mercilessly, following the instructions of your patron. Now Vex was weary of you and suspicious of the voice in your head.

You don't help Laura's dice habit. You'll see pretty dice and often treat yourself to them. You're not a hoarder like her, though. If she shows interest in the dice, you'll let her borrow them with the understanding there's a slim chance you'll see them again. What's yours is hers when it comes to dice and food and vice versa.

Marisha sits on your left during the recording. She’s the only one directly next to you for campaign 1. Hence, you two are whisper buddies. Furthermore, she usually takes notes for you, considering your penmanship is obviously that of someone still learning to write.

It becomes somewhat traditional for you to whisper something to Marisha in an attempt to get her to laugh. Drives the critters and others crazy; they don’t know what you’re whispering about. Eventually, Marisha begins posting your childish comments after the stream, so everyone gets in on the joke.

Marisha, much like Travis, is fairly good at wrangling you. Generally, very chill if she switches to a sterner tone you know to listen up. She has a talent for getting you to focus and calm yourself before each game.

She does cast off those cool older sibling vibes. Marisha will bail you out, but knows where to draw the line. Just don't do something too shitty.

Keyleth dotes on your PC. She remembers the wonderment of the world when she was first out on her own. Her time with Vox has somewhat hardened her. The world isn't as gentle as she thought it to be. Your PC is so young she doesn't want your innocence taken from you.

Mama Kiki. She's always making sure your PC is hydrated, has enough to eat, and doesn't get to beat up in battle.

After much pleading, Marisha and Travis green-light a series allowing you to co-host called "Camp Critter." It stars you and Laura teaching the workings of DnD; its target demographic, children.

Talisin is your teddy bear. They’ve become used to you running up to them, with very little warning, to give them a tight hug whenever you see them. You’re such a cuddle bug when it comes to them. It’s not uncommon to see Taliesen holding you as you talk their ear off about your day.

It happened once Marisha accidentally elbowed you in the forehead. You’d think in your pain you’d run to Liam, yet you went pouting over to Talisin. The critter community exploded over the cuteness, even drawing art of the moment with you and Talisin as your respective pcs.

You call them Tally. Initially it was difficult for you to pronounce their name so they allowed you and you alone to call them ‘Tally’. It’s sort of just stuck around. Talisin affectionately calls you ‘Gremlin’.

Percy was distrustful from the start. Most of your interactions are kept at arm's length. You were too naïve, too bubbly for him to place faith in. There is the saying “you catch more flies with honey.” How could he trust someone, even a child, so sickeningly sweet?

However, after your PC came to murder their parents, he saw his mirror looking at you. You were in a dark, vengeful place. Too easily could fall down the path he’d trodden. So he was understanding and present. Ever the watchful eye, he kept you from losing yourself. He’d engage all manner of childish activities to prevent you from turning down a dark path.

During quarantine, it becomes a highlight of their zoom calls to see what you’ve been up to. You excitedly show them your first handstand; lost tooth; learning to ride a bike with no training wheels; and more.

While you’d gotten your start as a recurring character in the campaign, the cast couldn’t imagine the next seven years without their kind B-B. It’s an honor to watch you grow and develop not only as a player but as a person.

I need there to be a oneshot with Beth May, Emily Axford, and Laura Bailey. The pure chaos! Bonus points if there pcs are Ron Stampler, Fig Faeth, and Jester Lavorre respectively. I dunno maybe their trapped in a middle plane and trying to get home to their respective planes. I really don't care what the adventure is. I just need them to play a session together.

Anwen Lyleyis Nydaris

Anwen is described as a tender minded, naturally giving individual, as she tends to be highly attuned to other persons’ states of mind, good and bad. Though feeling a sense of duty to help those in distress, she understands it's important to find a balance, not all conflicts can be resolved peacefully. From this perspective, she seems to operate under certain principles of justice, citing that if people are treated indifferently by her, it should be from the intention of their actions and deeds. However, when questioned by the party as to how she accumulated such wealth in a short period, Anwen told the Nein that she enjoyed collecting objects such as gold and platinum coins from individuals often indiscriminately.

Anwen is inherently blessed with truesight effortlessly able to see things as they actually are. Initially, this was presented as Anwen engaging with imagined allies, as many of those she interacted with were not perceptible by the rest of the party. This was most noticeable in her interactions with Grufin, a Growlphyn native to the Ethereal Plane. As the party members were unable to perceive Grufin, Caleb Widogast proposed that Anwen had created a fictitious companion as a means of coping with her time in seclusion prior to meeting them. At some point in the future, Anwen invoked Grufin, to protect Jester Lavorre from the Palano Corsair, and thus making the Growlphyn tangible to the naked eye.

Separate from her gentle manner, it’s indicated that Anwen is dealing with deep-seated panic disorder and separation anxiety disorder involving a traumatic event from her past. It’s implied she has completely reconstructed the trauma, through dissociative amnesia. She has issues dealing with things that remind her of the traumatic event; she avoids relationships with other children her age. Anwen becomes unwittingly uncharacteristically heartless when she feels alternated memories are threatened.

Relationships: Fjord/Jester Lavorre, Fjord & Original Child Character, Jester Lavorre & Original Child Character

Five times Fjord and Jester tried their absolute hardest to be parents and the one time Eysel recognized them as such.

Written in collaboration with the incredibly patient @somethingwritey

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!”

Anybody can make lights. Little sparks of possibility.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Fjord's Dream Questions

Ok so maybe someone's brought this up already but I just wanted to talk about the parties answers to "Do you ever have that dream where you see a face looking back and it isn't yours?" We got two no's from Caleb and Jester, and Beau and Yasha elected to abstain. But Molly and Nott gave firm yes's. Molly is maybe having dreams relating to his past. Relating to who he was before. I think the dreams probably came up right at the beginning, maybe not long after he stopped his mantra of "Empty." I think Molly might be having dreams of recovering memories, but not his old memories, because I think whoever was in his body before is different than the one now. He wholeheartedly affirmed having dreams like this and I get such feels. I think these are really like nightmares to Molly, being someone else. It might fuel his desire to wrap himself in self identifying marks, to make sure he doesn't match old Molly. In terms of Nott this obviously has to do with her mention of wanting Caleb to change her. And rather than seeing the same face and being someone else, it's more like she see her face and it isn't hers. She doesn't identify with it, the outward appearance isn't her and so her dreams are trapped in a body that she doesn't want. Whereas Molly (I think) is an entirely different person in these dreams, but he still claims his body as his own.
