Transcript: Decomposition Cantrip – CR C2 Ep028 & Ep030
I noticed some interesting things about the spell Decomposition that Caduceus used in Ep030. It spawned a bit of fiction based on these transcripts. Episode 028 The Mighty Nein approach Caduceus’ graveyard for the first time. 0:43:05 Matt: “Frumpkin begins to return, and a passing of one of the clouds gives more sunlight that breaks … Continue reading Transcript: Decomposition Cantrip – CR C2 Ep028 & Ep030
Mollymauk Tealeaf Index
In mid April 2018, I lost my mind. I’d recently remarked to myself that I hadn’t written anything about Critical Role Campaign 2 since it started, and maybe I actually had nothing to say. And then Ep014 happened, and Molly dumped a lot of his backstory. Around this time I was also hit with a … Continue reading Mollymauk Tealeaf Index
Transcript: How Molly uses appearance to assess people, Talks Machina C2 Ep 6 0:20:50
Taliesin chose to play a tiefling because he “wanted a comfortable outsider.” (TM 2018-01-16 0:34:49) Tieflings are already visibly, inescapably marked by their infernal heritage. In Western society, tattoos and piercings (especially lots of them) have long been regarded as outside polite society. Molly’s body modification signals that he’s leaning into outsider status and a … Continue reading Transcript: How Molly uses appearance to assess people, Talks Machina C2 Ep 6 0:20:50
Transcript: Taliesin gives Molly’s pronouns, Talks Machina for C2 Ep 01 0:06:07
I’m profoundly over seeing this misquoted, so here is what Taliesin specifically said about Molly’s pronouns. He said “he” without hesitation, other pronouns, or qualification. He shrugs off Molly taking no offense at anything because he’s very chill. Just because he’s not offended by it in passing doesn’t mean another answer is right. The subtext … Continue reading Transcript: Taliesin gives Molly’s pronouns, Talks Machina for C2 Ep 01 0:06:07
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“. Taliesin elaborated on and reinforced that in the episode of Talks. Some highlights are: - Molly … Continue reading Transcript: Molly’s notion of identity, Talks Machina for C2 Ep14
Transcript Critical Role C2 Ep014 0:13:00 Molly’s Backstory
This transcript is largely scaffolding for multiple analysis. We learned an awful lot about Molly in this episode, both what he knows and doesn’t know. 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. If you like this transcript, … Continue reading Transcript Critical Role C2 Ep014 0:13:00 Molly’s Backstory
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
