Library 🌙✨🔮

For one horrific moment I thought they were doing a reverse “Pray for, Icarus” and Crowley remembered everything but Aziraphale didn’t

So instead what they do is take things other people have said about the books (the person may or may have not actually read the books), they extrapolate or hyperbolize the SHIT out of it coming up with complete non sequiturs scenarios in their heads

Then they not only like their act like their elaborate headcanons are canon in books (often they are not) and therefore they are totally going to happen in the show (even tho the show often doesn’t include real book material) or in the most dire cases they act it already did (it didn’t)

THEN they get mad at the stuff they made up in their heads and have discourse about it and bash the actual actors, writers, showrunners and people who actually know what happened in the books (for stuff that only happen in their imaginations btw)

“No, anyway about Montreal”

“Sounds vaguely familiar”

“How do YOU know Daniel Molloy?”

“… You have to promised you won’t be mad 🥺”

“Yeah, dirty liar and a cheat, drugs messed up his brain too. Why you ask?”

“Okay but don’t go all crazy psycho ex on me you french queen 🙄”

“I’m so glad I forgave you for Antoinette baby”

“Calm down okay?”

1. Teor, at first I was convinced it was a monk but looking at the armor and the shield I do wonder if he’s doing a sort of unarmed fighter or paladin build? I do think the claws will play a big part

2. Tyranny, this is very clearly screaming cleric from the rooftops… so I wonder if it’s going to be a bait and switch and she’s actually a warlock OR a surprise monk leaning more into a religious monk

3. Murray, would be shocked if she’s anything but a bard

4. Thaisha, almost definetively a Druid. I am the second most convinced about her

5. Sir Julian, the most convinced about him, human fighter and not even surprised. Being a forever dm and coming back with a human fighter is the classic move, bet you he is a battlemaster to (goading attack in the picture)

6. Leaning towards a swashbuckler rogue, maybe a valor/whispers bard? (Likely a homebrew subclass so they could be a paladin for all I know)

7. Vaelus, now THIS is the loudest cleric in party, which is saying something, don’t know what else she could be unless…. the mask, the one corrupted hand and the other holding a holy artifact… she might actually be a mercy monk that uses the incense holder as a weapon??? Unlikely but if she is she is automatically my favorite

8. Occtis, to me he screams artificer with those foxes (probably his homunculi). Although maybe an alchemist/reanimator based on those potions, needle and the anatomy book. Maybe a reflavor necromancer

9. Kattigan, he might be a Beastmaster Ranger but I simply cannot be sure /s (watch him be a battlesmith reflavor or a homebrew barbarian lol)

10. Halandil, at first I thought he might be a cleric in hiding but the other characters seemed to be surrounded my religious imagery like it doesn’t matter so… maybe cleric of a particularly infamous being? Otherwise I think a warlock in disguise (maybe sorcerer), either way I think the hand he has in his pocket is corrupted with magic

Brennan being the DM is also unsurprising but Im not sure how I feel about it, his format of dming is not super compatible with the format of critical role but Im willing to be proven wrong

Not setting the campaign in Exandria does seem like a monumentally bad idea. I think it’s narratively a waste seeing how campaign 3 ended and how invested the audience is with this setting

The prospect of losing some of the original cast members is actually devastating and I’m not sure the show can come back from that. Maybe if only 1 was retiring but more? That’s actually crushing

Daniel was married twice, he could’ve had his daughters in his second marriage. It was never stated that Alice is definitely the mother of one of them
