Use Molly’s correct pronouns, part 2

I haven’t yet alienated all of Tumblr, so let me elaborate on why it’s bothering me so much that people are misusing Molly’s pronouns in fics. It’s not a couple people here and there that are exploring Molly using they/them pronouns. It’s nearly every single nonbinary Molly fic in 5 months. There’s one that uses … Continue reading Use Molly’s correct pronouns, part 2 →

In response to: Use Molly’s correct pronouns Totally fair that someone is uncomfortable with fics where different pronouns are used on a character they identify with, and as nb myself, i can sympathize with your friend. but please consider the other nb people writing fics/meta/ that are probably writing it that way because they themselves relate … Continue reading Ask Box: It’s rude to erase queer identity →

AskBox: Appreciate your post about Molly’s proper pronouns

Hi, I really appreciate your post about Molly and writing him as nonbinary and using his proper pronouns. As a nonbinary person, I use her/she pronouns. I have many people tell me I am not truly nonbinary because I don't use they/them and it is very frustrating and upsetting.

Use Molly’s correct pronouns

I’ll write about this in more depth later, but this needs to be said now: If you’re writing Critical Role fic about Molly being nonbinary, you still really need to use his proper pronouns. He explicitly gave them to us. You don’t ever for any reason get to misuse someone's pronouns. There are nonbinary people … Continue reading Use Molly’s correct pronouns →

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 →
