#c3ep51

This won't be a coherent paragraphs so here's and unhinged list:

The emotional whiplash of this ep was insane, I felt like needed to take a break every 10 min to process what was happening.

Really hope Zandus (idk how to spell their name so this is my best guess) is alive

Maybe Mori can help Ira if he was banished to the Fae realm?

Ok I know a ton happened at the beginning but all I can remember is the end at this point

Don't get me wrong, I love Vox Machina, but I started watching CR during C2 so The Mighty Nein hold a special place in my heart. Because of this I really hope Beau and Caleb are okay

Don't think matt killed them as that would probably need to be like a big convo for their game boundaries and what they want to explore, also it seems too easy, these guys have to go out fighting.

SOMEONE CALL YASHA AND ESSEK AND TELL THEM TO COME FIND THEIR PARTNERS

It would be so cool if during the split party some of them could play old characters. Like maybe Caleb is near the group that Liam isn't in so he could jump in as Caleb? Vice Versa for Beau

Don't get me wrong I love matt doing these cameos but If the characters are gonna be around longer I'd love for them to be played by their creators

Alright let's talk about man of the hour

So sweet that Vax came to help Kiki

I screamed, it was like I was watching hard core sports or something. I was euphoric.

I was so sure the tide was gonna turn in their favor

The crash back to reality when Vax was orbified

It's like I was on the best roller coaster of my life and then it nosedived into the center of the earth

Excited to see how this is played out

I had always wondered if Vax would show up when Vex was drowning in Dalen's Closet and then when he didn't I wondered why and mused that barring the above table reasons of this being a game with set rules and Matt can't just deus ex machina their way outta all their scraps, that below table the Deal Vax had already made with RQ for Vex's safety was all the flexing she would allow him to do and then voila Vex comes back anyhow, and I think it's important to note that as Vex was dying Liam slipped out of Derrig's character, something he doesn't do much, and into Vaxbrain ("We had a deal, Matt.") to Express how unhappy he was that Vex was drowning and the deal he'd made was being routed and I think that's proof enough that Vax would if allowed absolutely come down there and rescue his family from any and all scrapes if he was able to,

Now with this latest episode, We saw Otohan bedecked Paragon's Call with RQ's symbols, we know Otohan has the poison that prevents you from being rezzed which is an affront to RQ's domain and position if I've ever heard one, we know the attack on Kiki was on purpose and possibly to get RQ's attention, get her looking and all, and this whole situation with Ludinus is the biggest threat yet faced to all the gods and all their domains,

And that's why she let Vax through the gates this time, just in time to wrest that permadeath dagger away from the heart of the love of his life. I don't think Vax could have been there without the requisite chips falling where they did, without RQ letting him, I think the thought that he busted through all of those gates unprompted and w/o permission is a little disingenuous because Vax would want to do that for any and every one of his family members every day all the time forever, but it makes perfect sense that as the Raven Queen's champion he would be sent down to stop Ludinus from freeing Predathos and it makes perfect sense for Vax to veer off from his official business, to shirk his responsibility and use the opportunity given to go to her, to do such a grand and meaningful gesture for his one true love, and tl sound so unclouded and present while doing so, I mean

This is Vax we're talking about. The guy who looked death (death herself both times y'know, Otohan and her dagger and RQ, two sides of a coin or something) right in the eye, twice, clutching his girls to him and telling that nigh all powerful entity to fuck right off cuz they can't have these girls he loves more than life? Peak Vax behavior. To know he's been watching Keyleth for so long finally seized his moment to help her, and did so with gusto? True love. The purest kind, the Vax-iest kind. Not even death can stop his love for her, for Vex, for Vox Machina.

Matt bamf'd them all away so we got space to sneak a Mighty Nein one shot in there.

Between Jester and Essek, a failed Sending and a scry will get the rest of the team back together to rescue their friends.
