yea anon is pretty much right - trav did a panel w/ a bunch of dms (ik matt mercer was there and i think griffin joined) and trav said it got him super hype so they were doing an ep a week for 3 wks :) some ppl think it's to try and wrap up grad but i dont think he's said anything about that (i havent listened to the new ep tho but i always listen to ads so if he says something i'll let you know lol)
part of me is :< at the thought that trav is trying to wrap up grad, I feel like they still have a lot to cover, (I think my biggest concern with amnesty was the lack of breathing room.) But the campaign is going great and I am not complaining about looking forward to taz again next week :>

No stop now that youāve said Lup as Anastasia- stop I canāt handle the emotions rn
i was gonna write something just to make u suffer, but my writing isnāt working rn (rip), so instead I will GO OFF on who I think is who
obvi spoilers for Anastasia (broadway version) ((u can find it on youtube, WINK))
but there listen-
Anastasia/Anya - Lup, obviously. I like playing around with Lup having amnesia/lost memories instead of Taako, I think itās fun. + Anastasia is generally a really strong character by the end of the play? I really think theĀ āmemories are covered in flamesā thing fits Lup and sheās also very certain about what she wants, even if she doesnāt know why.Ā
In particular, these lines have Lup vibes:
Traveling the back roads, sleeping in the wood
Taking what I needed, working when I could
Keeping up my courage, foolish as it seems
At night all alone in my dreams
more under the cut bc this got kinda long I'm so sorry slfkdksldf
Dmitry - Barry, again, obviously. Heās the love interest. Barry and Dmitry differ in several ways, but thereās also the factor that weād have to change a bit of Barryās backstory, which would make him more like Dmitry in the end. If he grew up on the streets, having the steal n cheat n stuff, then heād be a lot less of a timid person and more like,, more like he was in Here There Be Gerblins, I think slkdfsfdkl. Tho not as asshole-y without reason.
Barry vibes:
Boils down to
There are some
Who have walls
Yet to climb
You and I
On the fly
Just in time
But tonight
Thereās a sky
And quite a view
Vlad - Merle. Merle, Merle, Merle. Look, I just think itās funny slkdfjlds. but also it kinda fits Merle? Vlad is very,, heās an asshole but he cares about you. In the play, when they first meet Anya, he helps her feel better w/ food n stuff and listens to what she has to say seriously. They both share thatĀ āi will cause problems on purposeā vibes.
Merle vibes: (lksdfjlkdsjf)
And though I know
I've grown a tiny bit gray
Some women say
I look distinguished this way
I'll bow as if I'm still a frisky young pup
Let's hope that I can straighten up!
If she says no, we'll all lay low
And we'll go from there!
Lily - Lucretia. This is a part Iād have to change, obviously, bc in the play, Lily and Vlad are together. I like the idea of Merle being likeĀ āiāll seduce her to get us inā and then lucretiaās not having any of that shit. + lucretia would be likeĀ āthe right hand manā of the Dowager Empress, which I think fits, bc I can see lucretia as both a comforting person and aĀ āget shit doneā person. and having kinda crazy parties in the background. she deserves it.Ā
Lucretia vibes:
The Dowager is coming
But she's running very late.
I'm certain that her majesty
Will set the record straight.
But royalty is royalty.
One always has to waitāWait, wait!
I'm really not at liberty
To gossip with the press!
Her majesty is coming
And till then you'll have to guess!
Empress - Taako. The empress is Anyaās only living relative. Iāve got an idea that Taako and Lupās aunt each took them to Paris for the summer, but could only take one at a time. because of this, taako was away when the palace was attacked and never returned to Russia. eventually, their aunt dies, leaving taako the supposed sole heir. but he still wants to believe lup is alive somewhere and says heāll pay whoever can prove that sheās lup, thus leading to the whole plot. the empress is generally very no-bullshit but does gain respect when they stand up to her bc no one has ever done that, yknow.
Taako vibes:
These strangers
Sent packing
What do they expect?
So grasping
So lacking
Why not be direct?
Gleb - Magnus. We need a Gleb and I think Magnus would fit and hereās why!!! Gleb is certain heās doing the right thing at the start of the play. He was in the revolution against the royals, or at least his father was, and grew up doing what he thought was right. Gleb does fall for Anya, yea, but we could always twist that to be like,, Magnus doesnāt have the heart to kill her. Not just bc he loves her, just bc he doesnāt do that kinda thing.Ā
Magnus vibes:
The children
Their voices
A man makes painful choices
He does whatās necessary, Anya
For Russia, my beauty
What choice but simple duty
We have a past to bury, Anya
hi hi! i really wanna try listening to critical roll (role??) bc you praise it so highly, so like where do I start? when i looked it up, it looked like there were 2 podcasts and i wasn't sure what was what. I generally like to listen to things from the beginning (like TAZ, I started w/ ep 1 of balance and listened till i caught up) but where do i find the beginning haha
iirc the fact that thereās two podcasts is bc critical role used to be hosted by geek and sundry, and when they split from them to form their own company the og recordings werenāt taken down, just reuploaded???Ā
iām pretty sure the version with the darker album cover is the one thatās still updating, but the streams are also recorded and uploaded to youtube if thatās more your thing: campaign one hereĀ and campaign two here.Ā
the campaigns are two separate stories independent of each other (except for a few easter eggs), so you don't need to listen to one to understand the other! the second one is currently ongoing, and if/ when you catch up, you can watch new episodes stream every thursday hereĀ at ten pm est.
both campaigns definitely do have their faults, but overall i think itās a pretty fun listen! i hope you enjoy :0

ahahaha I feel your tags about the Sanders Sides thing
Iām still tryna be kinda active bc Iām still writing fics and stuff but tbh at this point Iāve been writing them so long they feel closer to my own characters than from a series (if that makes any sense)
Honestly I just watch the new vids when they come out but I donāt rly interact with the fandom anymore š
