This scene says so much about politics in the Empire and the conflicting stories Matt wants to tell about people seeing different sides to groups and responding to their perspective. Matt makes characters who are messy, alive, sort of right, and sort of wrong, all existing in this beautiful, hypocritical mess. It's so easy to … Continue reading Transcript Fjord talks politics with Pumat – Critical Role C2 Ep11 0:50:44

Analysis & Transcript: Fjord is ashamed of losing his abilities – CR C2 Ep62 1:56:49
I really sympathize with Fjord right now. As someone whose had their abilities and their old life taken from them, who thinks every day about what they cost their loved ones, this is a powerful and intensely real narrative.

He takes an epic face journey throughout that gives off a lot of his emotions while trying (badly) to mask them. All of … Continue reading Analysis: Fjord’s reaction to Wursh – CR C2 Ep058 0:29:14
Transcript How Fjord looked as a kid – Critical Role C2 Ep011 3:04:42
This feels way more important after the encounter with Wursh the blacksmith in Ep058. How Fjord was perceived as a half-monster by the people who raised him defines so much of his current behavior. Scene runs: 3:04:42 to 3:05:51 3:04:42 Fjord, clearing his throat: "I understand. I know what it feels like to be ashamed … Continue reading Transcript How Fjord looked as a kid – Critical Role C2 Ep011 3:04:42
