Fjorester: Talks Machina Supercut 

They have such chemistry in real life they should date

I made the same mistake with my wife when we started playing together in a fantasy campaign. I said, in an off-hand comment sort of way, that I wasn't interested in my character having a romantic subplot. She took that as a challenge. Our characters wound up together in the end, and our characters' kids wound up being the villain in a campaign that she herself ran years later.

"I haven't burned down an orphanage in D&D in years." - Taliesin Jaffe

13:35 "I don't think Fjord is crushing on Jester" "I don't think Jester is crushing on Fjord" You sit on a throne of LIES

1:07 Taliesin: "yeah, we're squishy" *lemme pick a class that harms my self*

alternate title: the evolution of brian foster’s pronunciation of “fjord”

*Episode 3* Laura: "I didn't, like, plan on making her more flirty with Fjord." *Episode 37* Laura via Travis: "I'm gonna romance you ;)"

I like how Jester went from a girl who was so bubbly and positive because she was very naïve of the world to a girl who was still bubbly and positive because she knows her new found family needs happiness in their life.

"Fjord trusts Jester the most and Yasha the second." Oh how young we were

"Are you Lawful Good??" lmao the tone of complete shock and disbelief

Marisha when talking about Jester/Fjord love triangle: "Beau ain't getting involved in that" .....Well that didn't age well.

22:49 Laura is just chipping away at Travis’ feeble defences. Episode 64 proves it! Who's back here after Episode 64?!!

Travis: "They need to do a study on the effects of your DnD character on your natural person..." Challenge accepted. I wrote my Master's Essay on the performative and constructed nature of identity and how it is contextual and dynamic, and intersects with language, emotion and narrative storytelling. I used Travis Willingham's performance of Grog as a demonstration of how one can create and perform an identity. Why Travis felt stupider/more awkward? Because Identity is basically a bunch of stories in a trenchcoat labelled "narrative". And when you're playing a character so deeply like that, you're taking on their stories. And stories about your life are no more or less real than those of DnD (medically done the memories are even stored in the same part of the brain). Stories refer to what happened in the past and the past doesn't exist anymore, it's an abstract concept. So playing Grog he has this comfortable set of stories, a few narratives you could say, that comprise the identity of Grog, that he picks up and wears every Thursday for years. That can't really just be put down like it's nothing, there's crossover. Some of those stories linger. Why does that matter or make him feel dumber? Because identity is how we relate to the world. It's the contexts we use to make sense of things. It's like we navigate by the stars. Distance and direction in relation to them, yknow. It affects how we perceive, experience, feel, think, everything. So by having those sticky Grog identities, it is literally impacting how he perceives, thinks and feels. Hopefully once I've cleaned it up a bit more I can publish it =)

For those wondering: Travis "complaining" about Laura trying to seduce his dnd character is from TM episode 85 at around the 52 minute mark.

*Mutual Lightbulb goes off in their heads* "We can make whoever we want, bone whoever we want!" "YEEES" *excited high five* That's true love, my dudes

The way that these guys can talk so intelligently about their characters emotions that even their character isn't aware of, or react in different ways in character than they would IRL is INCREDIBLE I mean I know they're actors, but still that's impressive.

Travis "I'm not that smooth irl" I honestly think he's bewildered at his own marriage sometimes. Bloody love him.

I can't believe Laura doesn't think she's attractive enough to have played Lust from FMA on camera. She is amazingly beautiful and seems like a really fun person. She is totally Lustworthy. Travis seems to realize how lucky he is.

"You can't really endear people to you if you hide stuff." Travis letting people know why they suck at relationships.

9:13 this is very concerning to hear from THE ORPHAN MAKER

We did it boys

I have come to speak the sacred words. TRAVIS HAS FINALLY DONE ROMANCE IN DND!!!!!

Either way, Travis WILL cave eventually, and we will get our Fjester kiss. Not 'lemme save yer life' kiss, but a KISS kiss. ;}

I know i'm probably supposed to be thinking about Jester and Fjord in this video but Marisha non chalantly saying: "Thank god weed's legal." Made me laugh my ass off. 29:48

Sam's perspective on Nott makes a ton of sense just factoring in goblins' short lifespans, let alone dangerous lifestyles. Great stuff

33:09 dear christ. that... god. dude told on himself

Travis describing how he couldn't ask the island about Vandren is like when you complete a mission in an RPG and it says "MISSION FAILED" for another mission you didn't know you had.

This is the Valentine's day content I needed while I stay home and wait to watch CR live tonight.

I wish I could have a relationship like Travis and Laura has.

Your dedication to this ship is truly inspiring.

12:17 My favorite part of Talks Machina is how Brian treats the cast as close friends instead of celebrities, the chemistry is amazing

Love how thier marriage comes out in a sweet way and in exasperation

14:38 Laura "Get motivated to... get in Jester's pants" 15:10 - 15:35 Best bait for slash fiction ever on this show

Oh my gods someone did this. *In majestic voice* My body is ready.

These two are just too cute together, I love them.

Travis: 9:56 Me, who has seen ep 69: hahahahahahahahahaha

I wish the session 0 games were filmed and then released at the end of the series or somethingggg

i don’t particularly care for the character ship but the sheer glee i get from the actors harassing eachother in that sweet married jerk way is immeasurable

Thanks I needed this in my life

Every time Laura says she didn't go in with the intention to seduce her husband, I hear "She lied as easily as she breathed." She co-opted Matt to set up romantic scenery for that shit.

I'm not really a shipper, I just tend to watch romances develop and either grimace or nod and get on with my life, but goddamnit, Critical Role has becoming a huge exception.

as someone that cant really watch talks machina, this is a really lovely video that makes me smile, so thanks

I just wanna point out that when talking about the jellyfish and the whale situation was described Matt without skipping a beat said that was an eight

You are a saint. Thank you for enabling my addiction

Ok but Sam playing with his wedding ring when he was talking about love is so cute, especially knowing how he loosely based veth/notts family in his own wife and kids 🥲

I found it really interesting that we found out that Fjord & Jester knew each other at least a week longer than they knew Beu and then they finally met with the rest of the party. I guess I'm just saying that a lot can happen in a week, which is a very intriguing possibility. thanks for the vid! ; - )

" I trust Jester to most, and after that, maybe Yasha", ahhhh.

I can't believe some of us thought that anyone could withstand Laura's power

Travis is legit my favorite person ! i hope to someday have someone in my life like him and Laura

It's interesting to see how it started to where it is now, 118 episodes in. What a ride

I know I'm late but if people wanna treat Fjord like an asshole concerning his treatment of nott. Episode 52 he straight up pulled one of the most badass moves to save her in the situation campaign thus far with that thunder step. Fjord is a good man and I wont hear anything else.

The lies about not going for Fjord purposefully, we have confirmation she was totally I'm gonna romance you and your gonna fall for me, or your gonna have to turn me down. To quote Travis, She comes at me with jellyfish, and actual wife tears, come on...

Well frick! This is making me SERIOUSLY think I need to subscribe to this show. This is way more serious/in-depth than I thought it was! So much appreciation for this.

I wills admit, a decent sized chunk of the reason i ship Fjorester so hard is purely because Travis and Laura are soooooooooo f***ing cute!!! Its too adorable and too wholesome, i just cant! lol

i cant tell is this is a fjord and jester compilation or fjord and foster

19:44 my entire love life summed up 😂

Meanwhile, during the brief period where my DM curse was broken and me and my girlfriend played DnD together, our decidedly incompatible characters shared a position of group leadership that somehow functioned despite the two of them butting heads CONSTANTLY. Kinda like two sides of the same brain. That was a fuckin experience.

For a while there I thought Laura's shirt said "Best Lay Ever" in the episode 22 clips. Thought it was a Ruby of the Sea shirt, turns out, It's just a positive and happy-go-lucky shirt

Boi who ever Laura crushed on in high school missed out BIG TIME 0_0 i'd be crying

It’s interesting to see the story progression in this format! Thanks for the hard work!

Dani's laugh is the most adorable and infectious laugh I've ever heard.

"Yeah, we're squishy." -Taleisin Jaffe

Jester praises to the traveler. Fjord is a Warlock. Please tell me you haven't not told yourselves that joke.

I definitely didn’t stay up late watching this instead of studying for an exam. nope.

15:15 the sound of Ten thousand pens striking paper as fan fic is formed

"I litterly used my one fucking health potion on this bitch." At his wife, what a legendary sentence

This romance will be a fjestering wound on this campaign’s free time

Hmm I wonder if travis knew he wanted to multiclass into pally since he would always say he was lawful good
