Fjord and Avantika | Critical Role C2E37 Highlight 

Just spent 13 minutes watching 2 straight married men play fictional characters and flirt with one another while their wives watch... I regret nothing.

I love the fact that Laura is visibly torn between her own desire for smut and innuendo, and Jester's complete frustration and inability to process the situation

The fact that Travis and Matt both limber up and then strike their character's poses at the exact same time is what gets me.

Liam's physical acting is so good that he often commanded the camera without needing to say anything.

Matt:Roll Persuasion Travis:Nat 20 Me:And that's when the afternoon went from good to great

I love how Matt and Travis unintentionally sync up their movements when the "flirting" begins proper at 4:52

I love how Liam doesn't break character until Travis says, "And I walk away." That's how I want to play this game, and I love seeing it

That beautiful moment at 5:01 when both Matt and Travis did their thing and said "Let's do this shit."

when she said "I'll do you one better" ALL OF US IN THE AUDIENCE HAD OUR MINDS IN THE GUTTER

Laura’s INSTICTUAL click and immediate apology for it cracks me up

"THATS WHAT ITS ALWAYS DONE!" is such a great line xD

"My god... the sea" kills me every time

Travis has this ability to roll high when the narrative demands it. From grog to de powered fjord I don't know how he does it

Anyone who animates this needs to do a split screen of the others in the other room reacting to this

Marisha's "M-milady!" and cocky laugh afterwards added years to my life.

Oh my god, the cuts to Liam's face in this video were fucking genius. Impeccable timing. That alone had me in stitches.

Underrated moment is when marisha warms up Travis like a boxer, Best Bros!

*"IT'S WHAT IT'S ALWAYS DONE!"*

The scene where liam is all of us xD

8:43 Laura: *clicks tongue* I'm sorry. Me: No you're not!

frumkin is the metagaming pigeon

“Say no to this, I don’t know how to say no to this”

Travis's characters always get into these double entendre situations on live shows. My, my.

the preflirt shake offs from matt and travis at 4:52

hell yeah fjord unleash that "serpent"

Can we please talk about how Matt unintentionally syncs his speeches up with the background music Like when Avantika says "Then perhaps... it was destiny" the music grows

Travis Willingham you are a national treasure.

It's so amazing how well Matt can pull off a female role

"ill summon the sword" yeah i bet you will

Liam being fully in character as Caleb reacting to this is amazing.

Man if Caleb had some popcorn he could've been watching a steamy fantasy drama! Nico, you did a fantastic job of putting this together!!

if not for the problem with the sound, this would have been the best Live episode.

Caleb: “oh my god, it is just so much you guys” Beau: “DETAILS!” Jester: “what is happening?!” Nott: *munch munch munch*

So cute that Jester was so nervous,

8:52 I still love how Talesin knew exactly what Laura needed. Very Caduceus of him!

Is nobody going to talk about how Matt sat down to make a super hot, seductive, femme fatale and came up with a red head who doesn't wear sleeves?

I need this animated so badddd

Caleb/Liam and his expressions kills me

I didn't notice Tal's face at the reveal of the eye on her hand when I watched it live. That's hilarious.

Now all we need is the wives' characters to flirt with eachother and both couples will be even

I know he's using "Frumpkin Vision" right now but I am DYING over Liam's thousand-yard stare, almost like watching Fjord and Avantika is traumatizing him

"I think they are about to get nakeeeeed." I'm dead. XD

God the fact that they have to 'warm up' after Beautiful is just perfection.

The faces that Liam makes throughout all of this is the greatest fucking thing ever I honestly cant stop laughing 🤣

i think the ones getting the most joy from this were their wives

Perfectly missed opportunity to say "she's touching the tip"

12:22 may be the greatest moment of the campaign

12:27 is sooo smooth, not just in game, but the physical acting of it

Awfully steamy eye contact between Travis and matt

Your editing in choosing who to focus on in spot on as always, adds a lot to this already hilarious scene. Thanks!

LIAM LOOKS SO CONFUSED

*clears throat* .. my, my... ill have to say, not enough close ups of laura bailey, tho. especially when "speaking of.. beautiful" ;P

I love Matt preparing himself so much at 4:54

...travis gets those 20s when it really matters

And Lo, Foster doth say: Let us set aflame Tumblr and LET THERE BE PORN

When Fjord talks about the symbol above her door he is literally describing the auroborus ratio from full metal alchemist brotherhood

This episode really cemented Fjord for me. Before, he was just kinda along for ride, and I didn’t find him that interesting as a character. This episode showed just how, pardon the pun, out of his depth he was with his abilities and his patron, and also set him up for a potential fall from grace. It was the first time I’d really been interested in him since his first dream.

When Avantika inevitably turns on the party, it'll be great if Jester deals the final blow to Avantika and says Fjord is her man.

Marisha is so beautiful in the pirate gear

ah yes, the cage fight of flirting between matt and travis

For my sanity i just need avantika to stick around with the party forever. I can't get enough of Travis and Matt flirting.

It kills me that my phone was at a solid 69% through those intense encounters 😂

Beau and Jester freaking out with anticipation while Nott's casually eating rotten fruit was the best

When in doubt, walk away.

Caleb is fucking priceless during all of this.

Honestly, if I could choose any fictional world to live in, it would be this one. Yeah, the world can be dark and dangerous and generally shitty, but I would give anything to be sitting in that room with the rest of the Mighty Nein trying to figure out what was happening based on Caleb’s facial expressions and vague ass comments

Take a shot every time Matt Mercer says "so."

12:35 Liam's YES fist raise is the best.

Fjord whipped his falchion put and showed Avantika where the eye goes

That Laura Bailey zoom in at 11:23 is super underrated XD

What's hilarious is that Travis was nervous the entire time and he pulled it off masterfully 🤣

Proof you don’t need to say “no-homo” when two homie’s characters fall in love.

Sam's "Oh" is criminally underrated

CALEBS REACTIONS THOUGH

To me the funniest is the meta of Sam remarking "it's always better when somebody's watching" on a show that's literally being watched by thousands in person and online The second funniest is that Taliesin dragged the party to bathhouse to show off Molly's tattoos and still they had to do a double take about it

11:30 watch as Travis almost snaps a neck

I need this animated with frequent cuts back to Caleb trying to explain everything to the Nein & them subsequently losing it

I’ve watched this a dozen times and I still laugh at Caleb’s face at 4:51.

I love Travis' face at 8:12 because he feels so bad for Jester's character who he knows is feeling heartbroken at Fjord's potential actions. Not only that but this was only a little bit after Fjord had a moment with Jester (the jellyfish) that solidified his attraction to her so you know he's not okay with what's happening but is making decisions to save their lives. It's sad and yet so friggin hilarious.

Travis: “I was so... taken, by that... marking- that tattoo you had. I was wondering if you might show it to me again.” Matt: “Make a Persuasion check” Travis: *instant regret* *rolls a natural 20* *REGRET INTENSIFIES*

I love live episodes! They have so much energy compared to the normal livestreams. I just wish the audio was better

I am very uncomfortable with the energy we've created in the studio today

Liam's stoic face, unblinking, unreacting...I'm bloody dying!" x'DDD

Leave it to Travis to nearly free this near deity, which makes it more powerful, THEN turning his back on it thus spurning the NEARLY FREE and STRONGER deity.

I was there and screaming!!!!

This is my comfort M9 video. The editing is brilliant!

Liam’s acting here is absolutely amazing

8:09 - 8:11 Let's be fair, I feel like almost every Fjorester shipper and their sisters were doing the exact same motion

My brother in the Luxon, Frustratedly Aroused Caleb is one of my favorite Caleb’s.

the editing in this is impeccable. this was one of my fav moments of the campaign so far tbh

if this had been scanlan instead of fjord...oh man

I love the panning back to Caleb lmao

9:53, 10:14, the eye telling her to consume. 😂😂😂

THE EDITING IN TGIS IS AMAZING I CACKLED

i can't with caleb's expressions xD

true love

Liam/Caleb through all of this is priceless

That Sexual tension between Mat and Travis was too much to handle.

Liam just has a face where he's constantly asking himself what decisions have him and his group done in this campaign that lead up to this moment

I had always been looking directly at Laura at the “speaking of beautiful” quote, I’d never even noticed Matt and Fjord psyching themselves up
