[critical role (aramán); julien + aranessa; alternate universe: immortality; character study; body horror; blood and gore; strong suicidal ideation; the ongoing sequence of julien’s extremely bad life choices; the narrative fallibility and loopholes of fae blessings; 6k.]

Later, after the medics have checked him and the courtiers have fussed over him and Aranessa has been coaxed away at long last from his side, Julien’s father will take him by the arm and lead him to the Davinos sitting room in the depths of the Golden Castle. He will pour his son a glass of brandy, and sit him down in an ornate leather chair, and he will talk to him, deep into the night.

We have a blessing upon us, Raimond Davinos will say. He has pictured this conversation several times before, scripted it out painstakingly in his head, but this is not the way he planned for it to go. When we swore an oath to House Royce, we were…changed, magically. Permanently, and forever. This is the way of the fae. This is the magnitude of their gifts. And this is the depth of our loyalty. It lasts through life and lasts through death, all the way to the edge of the Golden Shore.

***

Immortality can be a curse and blessing both. Julien Davinos learns this lesson the hard way.

I got utterly possessed by A Concept, as one does, and wrote this in a fever-dream state in less than 48 hours. I just think that there’s at least one measurable way in which Julien Davinos’s life could be made so much worse, and it’s my duty to write it into being. Check the tags, and enjoy the angst <3

Please stop saying I'm in love with my cavalier. Or if you continue to do so, at least say it to my face. Please surrender your "fanfictions" of me and my cavalier engaging in heretical activities to me so I can document and submit it to the Cohort Oversight Committee. If you come across any raunchy "fanart" please notify me also. I want to see what I'm dealing with so I can be best prepared about the situation.

No need to inform Marta Dyas about this, I'm handling this matter.

it's so fucking funny watching one of the earliest backstory reveals in campaign 2 which is yasha revealing that she's from xhorhas. you'd think by the way the nein reacted that she said she killed her own family. meanwhile mr. fake accent is hiding an evil pact to snea snake. pop pop fucked off from the cobalt soul without telling anyone and zeenoth had to track her down. wizard hobo is on the run from the magical fbi. the goblin is actually a halfling. blue tiefling is wanted in her own home city. purple tiefling changes his backstory every town they enter. but yasha being a foreigner in the empire is such a shock to them. they're so fucking ridiculous i adore them so much. i'd like to submit the entire cast of the mighty nein to the acting categories of the oscars please. goddamn pathological liars the lot of them

kid told me today i’m “way too old to not have a girlfriend by now”. i’m like i know but hey

justsomeguycore

crucially this conversation ended with her saying “what if you never get a girlfriend but you get old and die and then the grave next to you is a girl and then your spirits make out in the cemetery” and i had to be like “ok let’s talk about something else” instead of “that would be sick as hell i would love to be a ghost making out in the cemetery”

amazing. storytime

when I was like 14 I used to reblog these posts on here that were like "YOUR 20S ARE NOT AN IMAGINARY RACE YOURE DOING JUST FINE!!" just to be positive towards my older mutuals even though i didn't really get what they were abour and I'd be in the tags like "#so true!! #everyone does things at their own pace!!" and now im 24 I'm thinking back to it and it's like Oh of course the imaginary race. Which I'm losing

another thing i love about both jud and blanc as characters is how many versions of them we get to meet. they change and code-switch a lot. there's knives out blanc, covid-crazed blanc, "eat the rich" vacation blanc, blanc during those 2 minutes at the church where jud doesn't know his identity yet, wicks-case blanc, one year post-case blanc. pre-wicks jud, during-wicks jud, jud as the murder mystery unfolds, jud a year later on the precipice of being reverend. the implied hints of pre-canon jud and blanc and the subtle context clues we gather about their lives. the way they act when geraldine/someone else is there vs when they are alone together. the hints of post-canon jud as a confident famous left-leaning reverend, whoever blanc will be in the fourth film, and so on. their personalities remain strong and unique throughout but i really enjoy seeing which aspects of them become dominant based on context (with jud changing in one film almost as much as blanc changes in 3!), there are so many directions you can take well-crafted characters like this and i'm having a lot of fun exploring them all in my head
