The Fear of Isolation | Critical Role: VOX MACHINA | Episode 105 

I'm slightly offended by Sam's British accent. But also slightly amused.

next stop, Mark Thompson!!! Please make him do a Malgus voice!!!

a craftsman can make anything.. but in the end its only a emulation of true creation.. woman are gods.. the teth they ask depends on your perceived guilt. notice your confidence is always the variable

it's far too accurate.

When is the next stream from Critical role on twitch?

That's two of us

we can do this

Frfr

Letss goooo we can do this

We walk this path together!

That is awesome!

Holy balls that's cool.

That is the coolest shit.

That's insane

Thanks for commenting that, catching it out of the corner of my eye really changed the episode: All Sprigg's talk of past adventures, the friends he once travelled with, the story and characters of many years ago he says he's forgotten but clearly hasn't... I feel like that was really hitting home with the critrole gang, even sam started the waterworks ;u;

PTSD and driven kinda mad by isolation

Wait really?!

@@transgirltalks1140 Yup, Darin De Paul knows Matt's mother and actually played in a d&d one shot with her 30+ years ago, this is the character he made back then all these years later in her son's game, really cool story.

​@@Checkmatex3that is so cool :o

​@@Checkmatex3that's so bloody cool ❤

Eleven💙

Same.

My doctor 💙

And he's a regular contributor to the channel's other programs, so it's not like he just wandered in out of the blue.

That makes so much sense. He slipped in seamlessly into the mechanics and lore of the game unlike a lot of the other guests. Any hesitation on his part was clearly a result of adapting to 5e.

My favorite guest by far! I adore him.

I love him so much! He needs to come back

that's fucking adorable and sweet and i love it

It took a couple of minutes for them to come through, I think/hope what must have happened is that when she couldn't find it, a few people went to last weeks episode and watched what she did with it after Matt handed it over. Because the alternative, that they just already knew, is too creepy to contemplate. :)

I am mean it's not like there is video evidence of where she put it! I mean who could fathom that someone could go to the last episode and watch the end of the encounter to watch where should put it?

ever heard of Q, from Star Trek? you know, almighty being, with too much time on his hands? got bored, and started trolling people around? that guy? that's what happens when you have a million megabytes of internet speed.

That's obsession right there, lol xD

some also have autistic memory

a grand master stepping in among experts. Truly a wonderous experience

Really sells the old folk rambeler

I was feeling some Don Bluth movie vibes by the end. Land Before Time feels 😭

Dude was incredible.

I'm so curious about how he came up with/envisioned his character. He definitely put quite a bit of thought into it, but I wonder how much of it was off the top of his head. His character had A LOT of depth for being someone that just appeared in the story and only had a short bit of dialogue. The imp companion, the trapped house, the mention of Craghammer, the connection to Ioun, his past as an adventurer, his quirky behavior, and his wisdom...it was a lot.

Man I missed that one! I'll have to go back and catch it! I've almost always found the little quips that Talisin offers are hilarious!

Timestamp?

@@musclecat1005 around the 12:00 mark. I had to go back and watch because it's been like 2 years since I watched the episode haha

Thx

The expression on Marisha's face!!!!😆

Then the right person was talking to the tree.

It's a matter of perspective. In a way, only a fool would "not" talk to a sun tree if they had the chance. Sprigg is not a druid, there's things that have importance and reason for druids that seem foolish to anyone else, mostly because they are ignorant to them.

@@darthvader1166 when has it ever been useful to talk to sun trees? They're fucking useless except for comedic relief.

And as a portal.

Well this is oddly relatable.

Right there with you! Good luck and stay safe!

Hah same

Guessing we all have joined the train! X3

Same. Germany here.. enjoy it and stay healthy and safe everyone.. What better than our favourite party to cheer us up? This is a hell of an episode..

Oh my god, I completely missed that. Thanks for mentioning it!

Matt's life must be crazy imagine being surrounded by DnD he loved Playing it most his life his mother even played now he runs one of the biggest shows on the internet THE biggest DnD show people will give them 11million to animate one of his games.

@@SPACEHARICE and now we have a kickass show thats currently ongoing

This is one of my favourite things about it! Like that's so amazing and cool!!

Sooooooo all I heard was Matt's mom and her party need to be resurrected and their party be on the show. If that is possible.

Wow no way!!

I agree, he did a wonderful job. A few of the other comedy characters they've had guest star kinda ruined the mood of the episode they were in, but De Paul hit just the right balance of kooky and cryptic.

A masterful performance in every respect

A-Mazing! I was instantly captivated.

This episode has the single best guest star to date. Darin De Paul is the only guest that feels like part of the world, the others were great in their own right but Darin has brought his character completely to life.

I'm so glad they FINALLY got around to having him in an episode

I noticed it

Most of Percy's comments get passed over. He is a joy to have on screen

Travis chuckled at it.

I burst out laughing at that

It didn't

Delicious irony

It was kinda revealed in Elysium. No one acknowledged it afterwards but Percy did say that Vex is his betrothed

Made me really sad though that they were not shown any love just scorn :(

@@GoblinPrincessKyo Laura spesifically told them NOT to get married, and she did and now the other two can't cos Vax is going to die soon. You can understand why, right?

@@aliince9372 No I don't see it that way at all. I remember Vex making the joking comment not to run off and get married without her, of course and in a normal life I would greatly understand the anger that she herself had then run off and got married without her twin. However they don't live a normal life, they live a life where each of them could die at any moment. I think it's perfectly understandable that in a moment of calm in their lives they had that private ceramony together. I've also read so many stories where couples got married in the moments before death just so that they were married before death. So, I just don't agree with making them feel bad for them having that.

I understand that but I also see it as you should be happy for your friends and basically sister in law. She's focusing on only the bad..

@@nataliepeters8459 She can be happy for her friends and sad for lost Vax at the same time.

@@GutoIima But she wasn't. She was just acting pissy and angry and Vax was just silent and sullen. They didn't even try to act even slightly happy for Vex and Percy. I get they don't have long together, but that's a shitty attitude to show to your friend/sibling's new marriage.

@@thesugarthief1476 Marisha talking about in Talks Machina: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S0j-1KIMB9g.html

@@GutoIima That's a load of bullshit. In that moment, when first being told, she was nothing but dwelling in her own misery. She didn't have to get super excited or anything, just a congratulations or saying she was happy for them would have been enough. But no, she just made angry noises and stormed off with her fire hands.

get the popcorn

Can that be the third campaign? Could someone invite the Pumat Sols as well?

I know I would.

YAAAAAAASS!!!!!

I would watch that for like a week

I mean, it did somewhat burn down 😂

Wait, what old person’s house did they burn down before?

What about gern blanston! But no, I agree Sprigg is amazing. Simply stunning.

Gern is an honorable mention

I think that's because the other characters were freshly created. From what I know, Sprigg is a almost 40 year old character that underwent a lot of character development already. I wanna know what he was like at the beggining of the initial campain he came from.

This is just a spectacularly executed guest spot. A+

You forget the horrid luck of Torbir

Oh wow, you're right. Damn, I miss Tiberius sometimes :(

I miss Tiberius. But I dont miss Orion.

I'm fine with both not being round the man was more drama then play an if I had to hear hello im tibberius storm wind from draconia every 5 secs in another episode I'd have grog step on my head lol

@@liambonham-schriver7713 this is the comment i was looking for

@@NoOne-mj2gj I relate to this comment on a cellular level.

He felt like a straight up Tolkien character to me, like he was improv-ing a Tom Bombadil type of character with all the chaotic wisdom which is mindblowingly awesome to me

it felt like he played DnD his whole life and everyone else on the table could admire what PEAK looks like. I hope he returns in the future for like 2-3 sessions in a row or more!

@@dawidpotega882 that would be very nice

My favorite guest player from campaign 1... absolute legend. Sumalee is my favorite from campaign 2. Their characters are both so uniquely odd and well crafted/portrayed by the player. 🙂

i almost cried when he was like "just remember me" and when he was talking about breaking out of any prison you make for yourself 3:36:24

@@pvic6959 He's one of the only one who made me shed a tear. This dude is a legend.

I knew I heard his voice before but I’ve never played overwatch sure many of the other games he’s been in until I found that he was in knights of the old republic.

@@amaroqgrant3759 VALKKORIAN SWTOR

@@okierebel3278 HE WAS VALKORIAN?

Taliesan wisely followed the 1st rule of Shadowrun: "Geek the mage first."

So true. It sucks when my players kill a character before I get to do cool shit with them.

I like to imagine Matt has like a diary/graveyard of NPCs that never got their chance.

@@TrashDeviant I like to think that he can recycle a few of those preemptively ended ideas and save them for later.

@@YorkJonhson Yeah, I mean that makes sense. But let me have my fantasy of Matt's Book of Sadness.

I never thought of the necklaces before, that just makes it sadder.

@@sunblade52 Saddest necklace moment was when they all got rolled by Vecna and Sam mentioned that somewhere Taryon was weeping on the floor because all he knew was that in some unknown place, for some unknown reason, his friends were dying.

@@ewanreilly2988holy shit that was so sad. It hurt 😭

thank you for pointing that out haha otherwise i would have missed that hilarious moment

Thank you so, so much for the callout and time stamp!

Thank you!!! i was trying to see what he was saying, but his hand crossed over his mouth and i couldnt read his lips. I knew it was something important, because Everything Sprigg was saying Really made it sound like he has seriously intimate knowledge of who they are, like he's literally one of them... Like he's Scan's Ghost of Future Past

Yeah, lol. And Laura seems to already know about it, and Matt just gives a quiet finger to his lips as Travis silently freaks out. I guess he had heard stories about Matt's mom's game since he recognized the party dying to hobgoblins thing. It's such a crazy coincidence that now this game is happening with Matt and Darin and really makes this episode a massive coming-full-circle moment for the both of them. xD

@@ScorchHellfire you can also see at 1:16 when he starts telling the "memories" and Travis is like "Nooo... no it cant.."

WHAT THE FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I am having a brain meltdown becouse of that rn... aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Had the same realization when it was being said

fucking spoilers asshole

@@wenbluepirate3954 That's not a spoiler, don't be a fuckface.

It's kinda sad that most of the dialogue is not gonna make it to the animated series

@@andrevieirahyurem287 That's one way to look at it. I'm more of the opinion that a lot of things that repackage ideas miss the value of the original work. Thank God we have the dialogue at all.

There were a lot of minor changes to the show that threw me off

@@wolfnote6679 Like what?

@@otakugirl5512 the whole game play aspect lols. I still enjoyed it. I liked it more tbh. Just idk why it threw me off

I see him in my mind weeping threw the castle only saying thier dead. Dead. Dead

Since that moment i just want to see percy ioun champion.

@@MmeHyraelle I'm assuming that they are building to just that. Tal is showing Percy break here and it's a perfect set up. Granted I came to this same conclusion before he voiced it so Matt's setting them up and Tal is knockihg them down. Wonderful scene.

“This is immortality.” Love Percy quotes.

Time stamps

So much. This is *the* religious experience that would mean *anything* to him. Seas of jewels or towers of gold or bastions of hellfire don't impress him any more than a dragon would. But books of life? Well, that'd do it.

Know why she has so much trouble finding the Tome of Quickness of Action? Because her buddy Percy gave that wondrous item away to the Cobalt Vault in exchange for some very general information about the Nine Hells that he could have picked up from several other places more easily. She should know, since she was there at the time.

@@DurandalsFate that also happened rl months ago

@@sevencats4964She plays the game that happens in her head not what happens in game. That's why she forgets.

Like the entire reason for her not wanting to fall in love with Vax is happening even sooner than expected, and she won’t just lose them, she will lose them all. And if they all continue to wear the necklaces, she will feel it each time.

@@Dave004 Wow, Keyleth hate in 2023? Really? Revolutionary, mate.

Holy cow, he's from Palm Beach. Come on back, Darin. Lunch is on me.

...I like him from SWTOR.

The only other character even close to Sprigg is Viktor the black powder merchant

Sunny Sonne BLACK POWDER!?

I want to watch a poker game between Sprigg, Victor, Dr. Dranzel and Kashaw... just to see how quickly Kashaw's head explodes

I just... I just can't...

Best thing is Laura and Taliesin did it out of spite because they were annoyed with the others for something they couldn't remember. They say it in a talks episode. 😂

Dude. Spoilers.

@@rettima8921 If you read the comments before watching the video it’s your own fault

​@@BacksquatchTo be fair, RU-vid puts seemingly random comments at the top where they're visible before the video even loads. I've had things spoiled like this a number of times because remembering to physically block the lower half of the screen until I can fullscreen the video is the only way to prevent my brain from automatically and instantly reading them.

I'm on about year 5, and I wonder if I can make it back.

​@@OneHippiesMusings You're a typing baby, I'm sure there's nothing you can't do!

Jeffrey Bergeron i don't even know the context yet and i love this line.

I don't know the context either, but it sounds like a dumb Deadpool line. Not a dumb line said by Deadpool, but an alternate 'Dumb' universe Deadpool.

Tyler H I believe the context is Percy broke the 4th Wall. You know, when a character looks at where a camera is/would be and talks directly to the audience. Deadpool does this a lot.

+The_One_BoZoiD Yeah it is i learned that in Theater that in the fourth wall is when the actor in in this case Percy talks to the audience while the sence in going on and the actors are doing another thing while that character breaks the fourth wall

Just your run-of-the-mill fictional character self-awareness that they're in a fictional world designed purely for others amusement. Typical.

Shoes :D :/

Not shoes, BOOTS! Shoes are weak, but comfortable. You don't adventure in shoes! My companions wore shoes. I wore boots, and I ran. I ran with my boots. Those boots were good at running, if nothing else. You'll be me, you just need to wear boots!

The twin’s interactions are my favorite, so this hits hard ;(

Yeah, back in ep103 when Bax is lying there paralyzed and Vex gets Death Fingered right in front of him, completely helpless and unable to even scream or yell... just killed me. I could see a single tear escape his eye and run down his sidewise face to the ground.

Thank you!!

2023 binge watchers thank you ❤

Jonathan Herzog Indeed. I could honestly say he's been the best, and most entertaining guest to come on the show.

I get a family friendly Don Rickles vibe from him

@@rakkatytam 💯 accurate!

dude if I could the 1% of the role player he is :o

He needs to drop an emo monologue before walking away, otherwise the magic doesn't work. It's in the book.

@@Shornaal13 Now I want to home-brew an emo subclass for the Rogue xD

@@leahsander5490 That sounds fucking glorious. Do it, my man

Well he is also a famous voice actor so...

I agree. He picked the dumb barbarian all those years ago because he didn't really want anything too hard to "play" - but he enjoys the raw storytelling more than probably anyone else in the group. Just watch, any time shit goes down, everyone else is freaking out but Travis either has a gigantic grin on his face or is giggling with joy. Just wait until you see his character in Campaign 2, though... He's sharp as a tack when he's not restricted by a dumb character anymore and it is equally wondrous to behold.

EnDSchultz ah dude I honestly can't wait, there's been so many points during this one where he has so many good ideas and knows exactly what to do but either has to not say anything because it's meta gamey or find a feasible way for grog to express that and lead the others there haha

I think we can all agree that 2 years later Travis is still a Gem. Little Fjorgetful though

“no matter what’s happening he is always having fun,” Shopping episodes?

@@ataberkdedemen9802 He still makes do. He broke some jaws awhile back, plus when he shops he does some great bartering, lol.

Hes honorable enough for bad news too, and doesn't mind keeping a list

Always ready with a witty retort.

However never challenge him to a drinking game. He just takes shot after shot after shot. I don't know how he does it. Must be his resolve

This whole comment chain is gold

@@briangronberg6507 but when offended, he will respond with animus

Darin is a complete gem in everything I've ever seen him in. In or out of character. Seems like a total sweetheart to rival Matt Mercer himself. (There's an anecdote about how those two once got stuck in a 'nice-off' outside a door that both of them wanted to insist the other go through first.... 🙃) On the off change that you're a Whovian, he plays a fantastic Sontaran in "Eric's TBD RPG," which also features Matt and Taliesin as guest players.

Good actors are so fun to play with.

I JUST GOT TO THE PART WHERE HE HAS THE EMOTIONAL MOMENT WITH KEYLETH AND IT’S THE BEST ACTING IVE SEEN IN YEARS

He's legendary in this episode. He does have the slight advantage of having already played this character albeit it was a very long time ago.

Hehehehehehhehehehehee

I thought Sprigg was more of a Yoda/Yoghurt mashup. :p

Didn't realize that's what it was, but hell yeah. Travis is probably the most enjoyable player to have. Not just as a person, but also as a type. Never disagrees or rule-lawyers, always up for anything, and clearly has the best head when it comes to combat. Legend.

@@VG-fk6nk I find that players like Travis often play low CHA characters but have high CHA irl, negating the issues with having low charisma somewhat.

Travis and Sam are the best players, IMO. Sam is just always so on top of his shit, even though he has a bunch of crazy spells (and magic items as Tary), and like you said, Travis acknowledges his weak links and does what he can to fix them, and it's awesome. I would kill to play with either of them even just once.

@@mattsmith457 A *player* with high CHA/INT can play a *character* with low CHA/INT, but a *player* with low CHA/INT can't effectively play a *character* with high CHA/INT. Obviously it can be done through dice rolls, but it's just not effective as RP to say "the dice say you succeed, even though it was a stumbling mess". It's the trope of writing smart characters. You can't really come up with clever things for the character to say/do if you're not clever enough to come up with them.

@@TraskTrojanek OK

In the ice cream shop that is the D&D mythology, Percy has finally come across his favorite flavor.

The only other fit for Ioun that would have made sense (ironically) would be Grog. Unlike Pelor, I never felt that the Percy/Ioun fit would be forced at all. He's always been all about the knowledge. Ioun doesn't care about the method of worship. Just the reverence for knowledge.

@TurtleWhiskey, agreed, and also, if Percy doesn't end up Ioun's champion, I will throw things!!!

Even gods are not immortal, let's not forget the even Ioun was almost killed and the library could have been destroyed, so I think Percy's thoughts are a bit naive.

Imagine Ioun telling Grog that his strength, with smarts, would be unstoppable, then blessing him to have 10 Int? Smart Grog would be a sight to behold, specially because we'd get a Pike Teaching sequence xD

I wouldn’t mind if she just owned up to it, but her constantly going “oh you know I MEANT to cast it away from the house” like girl please think about what you’re doing before you do it

Right!! He was spitting pure poetry

It's a fair point (though personally I don't enjoy seeing Travis visibly bored or whining , but that's a separate issue / pet peeve). Matt mentioned on Talks that in his experience, campaigns rarely, if ever, get to this high level - so maybe it's an issue he didn't anticipate? In Campaign 2 (no meaningful spoilers) he seems to have adjusted by (1) no PCs have this level of fast travel - they can just use teleportion circles in specific cities (2) NPCs can fast travel, but the party needs to earn their favor and often they only know the general region they're going to - once there, they still have a bit of travel & problem-solving to find the the person/object/location they seek. At one point I thought he might also implement "if you use magical means to travel, the bad guys will find you and catch you off-guard" but I think I was wrong on that. Either way, seems to have learned from C1 experience

This is why in my new campaign I'm removing plane shift. There is a realm between realms that's full of portals, which is the primary way of getting to other planes.

@@epicglitter7218 He hasn't adjusted anything in C2, it's just that the players have none of the powerful fast-travel spells yet. There's no druid with Teleport via Plants and Caleb isn't high-level enough for Teleport yet. Just wait for two more level-ups and you'll see, Caleb will be able to teleport anywhere.

@@leahsander5490 ah - fair point. and maybe won't be too too long. feels like they've been level 11 forever, so 12's gotta be coming soon yeah?

@@epicglitter7218 Probably after whatever conclusion the peace talks come to would be my bet. Or after two of them finally hook up, to stay in line with the long-running level-up scheme xD

Quarantine catch up crew!!!

I have been catching up for years and finally in the home stretch of only 10 episodes left... AH!

I was a big fan of Tova and Garthok, but I agree, great guest!

Agreed my friend, agreed

I mean, yeah, but also you have to realise he can just look thoughtfully for a second and then say anything. What time of day is it here? stares, looking like he's doing mental math, "it's 3pm here"

@@TraskTrojanek Not anymore, there's a campaign guide lol nerds WILL do the math on what time of day it actually is and call him on it. plus I've seen him adjust it, like "actually no, because you traveled X it would actually be earlier in the day, not night time" etc. It really seems like he's actually doing it. For someone with that much insane detail in their head, memorizing fantasy time zones doesn't seem like a stretch.

@@mayaenglish5424 it is definitely just guessing lol the fact people think he's 'calculating the precise time," is so dumb considering he's said himself alot of the things he does during episodes is just improvised. Before he revealed that the common theory was that he planned out every detail and event that happened in an episode, then he simply said he improvises the majority of the time. Critters are just massive dick suckers.

@A.Garcha Wow you must be fun at partys... And you are here why exactly?

It's one of those things that you start having to constantly be aware of once your players hit a certain level. Teleporting and teleport adjacent spells mean jetlag and sending and scrying and the like make time zones super relevent.

And then keylith mad it about her lolz

@@corey41837 For real. Seems like she constantly does that whenever another character gets some limelight. She's got a serious Protagonist complex and it completely ruins immersion.

Honk Honk - Him remembering was literally happening when he was talking to her about losing things because she didn’t want to lose him. It was a moment created by her, and it was him talking to her because of what she said. She didn’t “make it about herself.” It was a topic she initiated, and she simply acknowledged what he was trying to tell her.

@@miker.9132 Sprigg's character is literally an echo of what Keyleth's future is: a thousand year old druid, friends and lover long dead while trying to lead her people. His entire character was 1) a way to get to Ioun, 2) character development for Keyleth and Scanlan and 3) a reference to an old old one shot Darin played with Matt's mum in the early 80s.

@@tmarcb1296 I don't think it works like that. Ioun is the goddess of knowledge but if the books were souls than only her followers would have a book. And that would really turn the Everything Matters scene into a travesty. Basically the same mistake VM made with Pelor's fruit.

A shame we couldn't have Tary and doty be here just so that we could have the circumstance where the construct has to record the book recording the construct recording the book recording the construct... ad infinitum. lol And then the multiverse either implodes in the recursive anomaly or ioun's domain swells and breaks as it is filled with a book of infinite size.

/Grog takes 1 D-8 psychic damage from reading this.

@@cussundriakneal9904 you always remember your favorites. I played a ranger in a one shot nearly 25 years ago and I remember that character like my most recent.

Not Keyleth though. Druids gain an ability at like level 18 that makes their bodies age at a tenth of the normal pace. So for a half-elf that can get up to 150 years old, currently in their twenties or thirties Keyleth will easily live for another 1000 years. That always made me sad.

Yes to all of this

Kern the Hammer would be good

It's both heartbreaking and infuriating to me. Vex makes him promise not to run off and get married without her there, thus denying him his only chance, then goes off and does exactly what she begged him not to do. I like Vex, but boy did I want to slap her back when this all went down - and I still get annoyed on Vax's behalf to this day. lol

@@Aetheria60 well, its not like they didnt see eachother every other week that whole year of peace... they ran the bakery, they set up the crisis orbs.. if they wanted to get married, they were a transport via plants away... same with the kids, if Vax knew he had little time to live and wanted that, do it man... Besides, Liam sprung everything onto Marisha everytime he wanted to make the relationship happen when neither Marisha/Keyleth showed signs of wanting it From the beggining. THE FACE Marisha and Matt made when Vax brought up getting married and like, they are engaged and planning a wedding IRL and Marisha was clearly put off. Thats something I like a lot from Perc'halia, Laura and Taliesin seem to have discussed and agreed most things happening beforehand, which makes everyone at the table and outside feel more confortable, something that never happens with Vaxleth... (Sorry for bringing the comment back, this is just me processing the feels from a recorded game from years ago (?but felt like commenting)

@@Aetheria60 they had a YEAR, vex said that when they were fighting for their lives against the conclave, they had a year of free time after where they could have gotten married just fine so no legitimate reasons to be angry "because they couldnt have that" because they totally could have, plus keyleth was totally metagaming there. Percy said they were just betrothed to be married(ie engaged) and scanlan just played the here comes the bride because of it. They couldn't hear the "you're married" yet keyleth knew they were lying how?

​@@abrilvonbunny6205 ​@2g33ksgamingttv3 still that doesn't change that vex quite literally said not to do something she would later end up doing. i mean sure you can make the argument that vax and keyleth could still have gotten married with everyone present during the time skip but so could vex and percy. thats the real shittyness, the hypocrisy

​@@abrilvonbunny6205Got any timestamps for those episodes because I never witnessed any of that and Marisha and Liam apparently discussed it beforehand too (I've heard Matt was even the one who proposed their characters' relationship to them).

Ah, so he's voldemorting this?

Ginger Monster Sam and Travis are hands down my favorite players. they really bring the party together

Logan Hornberger any chance you remember when that was kinda? ^^'

Funny....he doesn't look Bluish....

Brandon Duckett that was REALLY impressive improvisation from Matt. He's sooooo good

Sang Jae Kouwenberg this was literally a hidden gem in this comment section. Thanks for pointing that out

oh no i'm sad now

It’s a short story that ends with disappointment as a daughter.

@@wartrukk_4628 That's cruel but hilarious.

Hajdu Linda Hajdu Linda well considering Keylith is a fictional character and I’m not, she is a female and I’m not...oddly enough you’re correct. My mother is filled with disappointment but in her son. It’s close enough so I’ll give it to you.
