I don’t think Beau meant her feelings weren’t real. I think lust was meant as a comparison in an attempt to describe yasha, which I’ll elaborate in a moment, but simply a bit of a word choice mix up.
Beau described lust in that conversation as in ‘everything about jester is so easy to be drawn to’, so easy to care about, that she has a gravity. Shes pointing out how “easy it is to lust after Jester” because whats different about Yasha is the fact that Yasha isn’t like that. Yasha isn’t bright colors and joy. Yasha doesn’t radiate that warmth and overwhelming compassion like Jester does. It’s easy for Beau to understand what she sees in Jester, but with Yasha? She can’t describe it.
The comment about Jester didn’t feel to me like an invalidation of her previous affections. Those were real. I think Beau was using Jester as almost a reference point: “What’s so special about Yasha? That’s the thing. It’s so easy to be drawn to Jester. I mean look at her. Talk to her. But for some reason I feel deeply about Yasha as well. And damn, that has to mean something.”
I may not be a beaujester, but I still don’t like seeing people feel upset or betrayed or just confused. We’re all a community. So Beau was not insulting that ship. Her feelings still were, and are, as real as ever. Hers towards Yasha too.
[ID: four photos showing various details of my casual cosplay of Jester from critical role. 1: shows me from the waist up eating a pink donut. I’m wearing a blue Jester wig with a pink bow, lollipop earrings, rainbow bracelets, white t-shirt and a dark green hoodie. 2: shows the top of my t-shirt and the lowest part of the neck. the t-shirt is white with a donut embroidery. i’m wearing a pink ribbon choker with a red teardrop gem and a longer necklace with a locket at the end. the locket is open and inside is a picture of beau. 3: a pair of feet wearing pale seafoam green shoes with pink ribbon laces, and purple socks with a pink donut pattern. 4: three pins pinned on a dark green fabric. one is shaped like a heart and has text that reads “girls like girls”. the second is a rainbow, and the third is a pegasus, for lack of a unicorn. /end ID]
I did this very gay casual Jester cosplay back in the beginning of October, and then slightly forgot to post anything? But here are Some Highlights!
[image description: an animated gif of Jester and Beauregard from Critical Role. It starts off with Beau looking to the right while sitting on Jester who has polymorphed into a giant spider. Spider-Jester suddenly turns into a big pink cloud, while Beauregard gets a surprised look on her face. She then sits up in the air for a bit, and Jester, now un-polymorphed stands under her also with a look of surprise. Beau then falls down and Jester catches her in a piggyback. They then smile at each other. The gif loops back to Beau on spider-jester’s back. /end I.D.]
Revisiting this Little Mermaid AU 2 years later in honor of Mermay and also because I………Miss Them

[ID: A drawing showing Jester as a mermaid with Beau. Jester is fat, with mostly light blue skin, shiny darker blue hair, and small, black, curled horns. She also has a lighter underside and stripes along her tail of the same color, as well as pale blue fins. There is a necklace of large jade beads around her neck. She smiles softly as she cradles an unconscious Beau’s head in her hands. Beau is a lithe, muscular human woman with deep brown skin and several scars, including one over her eye. She has straight brown hair that is shaved on the sides and pulled back into a ponytail, and her white shirt and black pants are torn in places. The two are on a beach with a bit of water visible on the background. End ID.]
[ID: Image one is a digital painting of Jester from Critical Role, a blue tiefling with curly dark blue hair. She is wearing a light purple dress with a v neck and poofy long sleeves. She is also wearing a necklace of gold circles and gold on the tips of her curled horns. She is sitting at a desk in a bedroom, writing on a heart shaped piece of paper. On the desk is also a yellow flower, a bottle of glue labeled “super glue (magic),” and scraps of white paper. The background is a yellow-lit view of a bedroom with a tall bed, a red rug, and maroon curtain along the wall.
Image two is a drawing of the finished valentine. It is a heart made of red paper, with a white paper fringe. The left side of the heart shows a drawing of Beau from the waist up, with comments from Jester. The comments read: you, pretty eyes, strong arms, and sweet abs. The right side of the heart is a written note reading: Beau! You are so cool and brave and sweet and smart and and handsome and sexy! You’re the best leader and my favorite person ever! Happy Valentine’s Day, I love you! Mwah! - Jester. There is also a small blue kiss on the paper.
Image three is a sketch of Beau from the waist up, clutching the valentine in one hand and covering her face with the other hand. She appears to be crying. She is wearing a shirt that reads: fantasy Led Zeppelin, but the text is partially covered by her arm. End ID.]
Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone but especially to beaujester and beaujester appreciators.
