Transcript: Hallway drinking party + analysis of Percy’s current mental health, CRC1 Ep084 1:11:11

NOTE: Making conjectures about anyone’s mental health from purely observational information is inherently flawed. I emphatically suggest you don’t do so for real people. It can cause us to make incorrect assumptions about them, misinterpret their intentions, incorrectly assess their abilities, or invite bias against them. I’m also very wary of psychological assessments for fictional … Continue reading Transcript: Hallway drinking party + analysis of Percy’s current mental health, CRC1 Ep084 1:11:11 →

Analysis: How Percy looked to Cassandra for “The Gate Stone” Story

My Twitter followers have voted for me to separate the supporting analysis for my fanfiction from the story itself, and I agree with that wisdom. Cross linking them does add a lot more flexibility. This analysis is the research underpinning “The Gate   Stone.” This analysis also contains my first draft posit of Percy’s mental … Continue reading Analysis: How Percy looked to Cassandra for “The Gate Stone” Story →

Transcript Ep45 2:30:06 Scanlan, how do you do it?

This is one of the best insights we get into Scanlan's core philosophy. Not happy-go-lucky so much as comforting nihilism. In being irreverent towards death, he accepts its inevitability and enjoys what he can. At 2:31:26, Scanlan says, "Everything before this was not as good. This is better, that's why. It's very simple. You had … Continue reading Transcript Ep45 2:30:06 Scanlan, how do you do it? →

Transcript Ep5 0:1:50 Character Backstories

All of this transcription was done by Critical Role Transcripts. I’ve merely reformatted it from closed captions to paragraphs, and added the timestamps and links. The longer Critical Role has run, and characters have developed, the clearer it is that the telling of their backstories shows some very core personality traits, beyond the mere history … Continue reading Transcript Ep5 0:1:50 Character Backstories →

Scene Cut Ep79 3:14:42 Thordak flies into the hole, Vax makes a choice

Analysis: My main reason for this (masochistically long) scene cut is to look at why Vax attacked Raishan. I’ve included a handful of other scenes that also show how Vox Machina felt about Raishan. They show that no one trusts Raishan. They were all keenly aware, from the beginning, that the moment Thordak died they … Continue reading Scene Cut Ep79 3:14:42 Thordak flies into the hole, Vax makes a choice →
