“they asked us if we wanted to rehearse this before and we said NO!”
vex and vax as liam and laura advertising “kith & kin” in c3e5. critical role, where drawing their advertisements is just as fun as drawing my own ideas.
Was able to find the full set of Vox Machina pop figures for a decent price since the ones on Critical Role’s store was sold out. Also found a Trinket that wasn’t marked up 3 times for what he’s ACTUALLY being sold for (some sites are selling him for $30, when he costs $10).
Vax: I want to tell you something. We’re almost like family now, and I’ve seen you do many great things, and you’ve earned my trust. But if you hurt my sister…if you hurt anyone else in this group inadvertently-
vex’ahlia and vax’ildan’s conversation in the episode 48
Vax: You want to talk?
Vex: Yes, I do. Don’t walk away from me please. I have a feeling it’s because of this Raven Queen situation…I don’t know. I know that you offered yourself to her to save me, and I can’t put into words how much that means to me, and I’m worried that she took you up on the offer. And I know you’re worried about it too. And I’m afraid that’s why you’re avoiding Pike. You’re afraid she’s going to see something in you. But I wanted to tell you, I’ve been looking into this book, it’s the best 35 gold I’ve spent, maybe 30, I don’t even remember anymore…
Vax: it was 30.
Vex: It’d been worth 35 for all the things I’ve found in it! It got all these information about the Raven Queen and I’ve been looking at it all the time!
[…]
Vax: She’s already speaking to me.
Vex: Oh…and?
Vax: I don’t know Vex’ahlia. I don’t know what this means, I know that she’s not a force for evil, neither are funeral homes. I don’t want to bed down in one.
Vex: Well, that’s understandable.
Vax: But it doesn’t matter, and I’d do it again, because I did it for you. And I’m trying to come to terms, not knowing the terms.
Vex: Well. We’ve lived half our life in the shadows, you’ve made them your home. Am I right?
Vax: Maybe so.
Vex: I mean, this is a time you can either let those shadows swallow you down and keep falling into a hole, or you can use them to your advantage. You can become a champion. It’s pretty fucking badass, if you ask me.
[…]
Vex: What I’m saying is, brother, I’m proud of you. I’m happy for you. And I’m so, so thankful to you. So don’t be frightened! This is a wonderful thing. Not many fucking people can say they’re a champion of a fucking god!
Vax: Listen, I’ll take into consideration what you said. Again, none of us, you and I, don’t know what this means, I’m waiting to see.
Vex: Alright, but as someone who’s seen the other side and has comeback thanks to you, there’s no use living your life in fear. I love my reckless brother, as much as he hurts my heart. I love you for that, and don’t be afraid to be that.
just watched episode 40 of campaign one and my god…that was some emotional damage…
Four fucking dragons destroy the city, we don’t know who even survived, the party barely makes it into their keep…then they just turn against each other for that fucking skull thing! Grog getting a natural one while trying to destroy the skull but fails because he sees Pike disappointed in him…
And it only gets worse when Allura arrives and practically drops the bomb on them and how both of their party are responsible for it and then keyleth freaking fire family is dead?!?
Don’t even let me get started on the twins they had so many good moments in this ep like:
“Do not go far from me, if you’re out of earshot you’re too far from me.”
“Do you think this is what mother saw before she died?”
/
“you’re stronger than me, I need you.”
/
vex taking her brother’s hand when he talked about killing krieg.
Vax: I love you stubby, I’m always gonna be there for you. You can always be a pain in the ass like you are. I love you, always have, always will. Thank you.
omg this winter’s crest episode is an absolute comfort episode like there’s the festival, scanlan asking for a big portrait of himself, grog unconsciously making a deal with an evil sword and uncharacteristically loses at arm-wrestling, Percy finally being happy and carefree, the twins and trinket having an eating pie competition and vex gifting vax his snake-belt I don’t want angst leave me here in this happy place
I’M LAUGHING MY ASS OFF AT THE SCENE WHERE VAX AND KIKI ARE TRYING TO HAVE AN INTIMATE CONVERSATION BY THE SUN TREE BUT THE PARTY CAN’T JUST HOLD IT TOGETHER SNDJJAD
rollercoster of emotions while watching ep 34 because yeah there’s lady briarwood’s unconscious body on the ground and a black whole that could very well kill all the party but the absolute panic they’re in because they can’t heal vex while she’s on the brink of death GOD I had to take several breaks
Vox machina had been at the party for a short while when Sylas and Delilah Briarwood stepped into the main hall. They had decided once Percy explained how he knew them that Vax would go check there room for anything suspicious. After what could have only been 10 minutes of searching the room Vax found a magic book of some kind, he was about to leave when the fire was blown out by a large gust of wind. Vax turned towards the fire and then back towards where he found the book only now Sylas stood in the chests place. “My my your a curious one aren’t you ?” Sylas said almost flirtatiously. He stepped towards Vax placing a gentle hand onto his cheek. Sylas pulls Vax towards the rooms large canopy bed and pushes him down onto the mattress.
Vax is almost half the size of Sylas and no matter how hard he tires he can’t push Sylas off of him. Vax isn’t one to panic but he can feel the panic settling deep within his chest as Sylas begins to remove the younger males clothing slowly and almost teasingly. Vax is never one to shy away from sex but he’s not sure wether it’s the way Sylas towers above him or the sheer panic rising in his chest but this is not going to be Pleasant.
Both Vax and Sylas are completely naked now, Vax has been trying to get free struggling against Sylas’s strong hands to no avail. The panic in his chest is bubbling over now as callous hands run from his chest to his lower abdomen. Sylas starts kissing at Vax’ildans neck, he gasps at the sudden contact and screws his eyes shut quickly. Sylas wastes no time in grabbing the lube from the dresser next to the bed. He spread a thin layer over his fingers, he lined the first finger up with Vax’s hole and pushed in roughly. Vax let out a sharp exhale and began to scream, this was not happening ! Nope not happening. Sylas paid him no mind and simply used his other hand to cover Vax’s mouth. After another minute or two Sylas added a second finger and then a third. Once he was satisfied that Vax was stretched enough that he could fit comfortably inside him he lined himself up with his hole. He pushed down to the base of his cock in one quick movement, Vax’ildan let out another scream. “P…please stop, I … I won’t say anything I promise. J..just let me go please” Vax begged. His words where left untouched as Sylas thrusted hard into Vax and grunted.
Sylas must have been getting close because his thrust got harder and much faster. Vax was still struggling to free himself and still failing to do so. Vax must have been screaming more than he himself had realised because not only had Sylas’s hand found it’s way back to his mouth his throat was dry and soar. The thrust were still getting harder and deeper, Sylas’s mouth came up to meet Vax’s neck again this time leaving bite marks in its wake. With small moans and little grunt Sylas finished in Vax’ildan but he wasn’t finished with him yet. Sylas grabbed Vax’s hair and pulled him down towards his dick, he quickly pushed it down his throat causing him to choke slightly. Vax tried to pull him self away but the grip Sylas had on his hair was far to tight.
After what felt like and eternity Sylas grabbed back onto Vax’s hair and pulled him to the large doors that opened up into the hallway and threw him against the wall and left his clothes in a pile next to him. Vax hadn’t realised he was holding his breath until he slumped down against the wall panting trying to collect his breath. He whispered a quiet “Jenga” before tears started streaming down his flushed checks. He didn’t have enough energy to move let alone put his clothes back on so he stayed slumped against the wall and allowed his eyes to close. It wasn’t long before the rest of Vox machina was running up to Vax. “Brother … what on earth happened ?” Vex said with a hint of worry. “Are you crying Vax ? What the hell happened in there” Scanlan was the next to speak. Vex looked at her brothers state and now she understood why Percy wanted revenge on the Briarwoods so badly. “H…hurts” Vax’ildan said weakly, it was all he could manage. That was all it took for the others to realise just what Sylas had done to him, Vax couldn’t look any of them in the eyes after it became clear what had happened. Percy offered to help Vax’ildan back into his clothes if not to embarrass him further, he was reluctant but accepted the help if only to get him back to the keep quicker. Vex pulled her brother to his feet and slung his arm over her shoulder but it was no use his leg where shacking underneath him. Grog lifted Vax into his arms and carried him back to the keep where he laid him on the bed as gently as he could and left him there to rest. Sylas Briarwood will pay for this Vex will make sure of it.
unstoppable force (i want to see this tragic character survive and heal) vs immovable object (their death was the most thematic and narratively satisfying resolution possible for their character arc and anything less than death just feels cheap)
