I’ve been marathoning Critical Role lately and finally beat down my anxiety enough to draw a little fan art. :D
cinematic parallels
percy: okok de rolo this is your chance. be smooth, be charming, impress her, you can do this
percy, silently fist-pumping: crushed it
“they asked us if we wanted to rehearse this before and we said NO!”
vex and vax as liam and laura advertising “kith & kin” in c3e5. critical role, where drawing their advertisements is just as fun as drawing my own ideas.
one of my favorite little details at the dinner party was how every time vex whispered to someone, she was very deliberate about covering her mouth with her fan to hide it, bc she was also always very careful about that in-game due to having that feat where she can lip-read and therefore being Very Aware that others might be able to do the same.
A vex sketch I decided to color. Enjoy.
Vox Machina! Going through vm this year has been such a joy for me and jeez I love this dumb gang
Don’t mind me, just letting my Kith&Kin feels out

vex’ahlia and vax’ildan’s conversation in the episode 48
Vax: You want to talk?
Vex: Yes, I do. Don’t walk away from me please. I have a feeling it’s because of this Raven Queen situation…I don’t know. I know that you offered yourself to her to save me, and I can’t put into words how much that means to me, and I’m worried that she took you up on the offer. And I know you’re worried about it too. And I’m afraid that’s why you’re avoiding Pike. You’re afraid she’s going to see something in you. But I wanted to tell you, I’ve been looking into this book, it’s the best 35 gold I’ve spent, maybe 30, I don’t even remember anymore…
Vax: it was 30.
Vex: It’d been worth 35 for all the things I’ve found in it! It got all these information about the Raven Queen and I’ve been looking at it all the time!
[…]
Vax: She’s already speaking to me.
Vex: Oh…and?
Vax: I don’t know Vex’ahlia. I don’t know what this means, I know that she’s not a force for evil, neither are funeral homes. I don’t want to bed down in one.
Vex: Well, that’s understandable.
Vax: But it doesn’t matter, and I’d do it again, because I did it for you. And I’m trying to come to terms, not knowing the terms.
Vex: Well. We’ve lived half our life in the shadows, you’ve made them your home. Am I right?
Vax: Maybe so.
Vex: I mean, this is a time you can either let those shadows swallow you down and keep falling into a hole, or you can use them to your advantage. You can become a champion. It’s pretty fucking badass, if you ask me.
[…]
Vex: What I’m saying is, brother, I’m proud of you. I’m happy for you. And I’m so, so thankful to you. So don’t be frightened! This is a wonderful thing. Not many fucking people can say they’re a champion of a fucking god!
Vax: Listen, I’ll take into consideration what you said. Again, none of us, you and I, don’t know what this means, I’m waiting to see.
Vex: Alright, but as someone who’s seen the other side and has comeback thanks to you, there’s no use living your life in fear. I love my reckless brother, as much as he hurts my heart. I love you for that, and don’t be afraid to be that.
[a tender smile from vax]
Vax: I have no clever answer to give to you.
[a big one in return from vex]
Vex: That’s wonderful. I love you.
[she walks away]
enough I’m so tired already I want to know when percy and vex start getting together they’re my favoritessss their interactions are the best
i knew laura was up to somethin when she sat there w her head down through all of sam’s dumb jokes and now she’s crying over leaving the first home she’s had in years and yeah fuck me i guess
“thank you for that, you always have my back and I know that.”
— vex to vax
just watched episode 40 of campaign one and my god…that was some emotional damage…
Four fucking dragons destroy the city, we don’t know who even survived, the party barely makes it into their keep…then they just turn against each other for that fucking skull thing! Grog getting a natural one while trying to destroy the skull but fails because he sees Pike disappointed in him…
And it only gets worse when Allura arrives and practically drops the bomb on them and how both of their party are responsible for it and then keyleth freaking fire family is dead?!?
Don’t even let me get started on the twins they had so many good moments in this ep like:
“Do not go far from me, if you’re out of earshot you’re too far from me.”
“Do you think this is what mother saw before she died?”
/
“you’re stronger than me, I need you.”
/
vex taking her brother’s hand when he talked about killing krieg.
/
“I want to kill a dragon or die trying.”
“We will.”
LIKE UGH???? I’LL NEVER RECOVER FUCKME!
Vax: I love you stubby, I’m always gonna be there for you. You can always be a pain in the ass like you are. I love you, always have, always will. Thank you.
Vex: I love you too.
omg this winter’s crest episode is an absolute comfort episode like there’s the festival, scanlan asking for a big portrait of himself, grog unconsciously making a deal with an evil sword and uncharacteristically loses at arm-wrestling, Percy finally being happy and carefree, the twins and trinket having an eating pie competition and vex gifting vax his snake-belt I don’t want angst leave me here in this happy place
