This post is part 1 in a 7-part series examining everything we learned about Molly’s backstory in Critical Role Campaign 2 Episode 014. They are meant to be read together in sequence, but 9 pages seemed a little long for Tumblr, so I’ve broken them up into separate posts. You can also find links to … Continue reading Analysis: Molly’s Backstory Part 1: Separating Molly and Lucian, Critical Role C2 Ep014

Transcript: Molly’s notion of identity, Talks Machina for C2 Ep14
This is the Talks Machina episode for Critical Role C2 Ep014, Fleeting memories. Molly gave up a lot of his backstory in that episode, which I’ve transcribed in my post entitled “Transcript Critical Role C2 Ep014 0:13:00 Molly’s Backstory“.

Analysis Critical Role C2 Ep014 How Molly manipulates the way people see him
This post is one of a long series examining Molly’s story and character. There will be an index on my blog collecting all of them.

Transcript Ep103 to Ep104 How Percy and Keyleth are feeling about gods
Watching Ep104 tonight I found Percy’s hesitant answer to Keyleth about gods rather interesting given that he’d tacitly said how he felt in Ep104. “I think what Vax is trying to say is we need patrons. … We are going to owe favors, we are going to owe our lives, we are going to lose…” … Continue reading Transcript Ep103 to Ep104 How Percy and Keyleth are feeling about gods
Analysis Ep95 to Ep99 Vex and Percy are hiding something
I very much caution against putting the cart before the horse. Speculation can be fun, but remember that it’s very prone to error, so don’t get your hopes up. I also advise Ockham’s Razor: the simplest explanation is usually right. And the least dramatic possibility is usually right. That said, it’s very obvious that Vex … Continue reading Analysis Ep95 to Ep99 Vex and Percy are hiding something
Transcript Ep96 0:22:16 Grog’s Whitestone Tour Hat
I collect vintage and ostentatious hats, elaborate headpieces, and fascinators. I’m the sort of person who can (and frequently does) put absolutely ridiculous things on her head and manages to make it look good. So, my first two thoughts after this scene were: “I want that hat,” and “I think I can make that hat.” … Continue reading Transcript Ep96 0:22:16 Grog’s Whitestone Tour Hat

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
