So in other words, the plot of We're Back! A Dinosaur Story.

Vax was a borderline suicidal, self-sacrificing character from day one. He always threw himself into danger headfirst regardless of the cost to himself. Between Percy accidentally setting off the trap creating the circumstances for Vax trading himself to the matron during Vex's resurrection, all the way up to Vax CHOSING to come back as a revenant after being disintegrated in order to help defeat Vecna, the choices have always been his. Especially him, fate touched as he is. Ultimately, Vecna killed Vax and Vax killed Vax. I think it's easier to blame the Matron than to be angry with Vax for being who he was.

The Matron maintains the balance of life and death. She accepted Vax's offers both times, do you think she should have refused? The first refusal would have meant Vex's death, and the second refusal would have meant Vax possibly just staying dead after being disintegrated, and not being there to fight against Vecna, which was truly an all hands on deck situation. There was no time to fuck around with a resurrection ritual that might not even work, the whole world was in danger. One life, a life that was already lost, is a small price to pay to save the world. I'm pretty sure Vax would agree with me!

Frankly, Vox Machina were super lucky and privileged to have so many successful resurrections between them. I think they got a little spoilt and entitled about it honestly. Most people have never even met someone who's been resurrected before, they did it like 20 times! Vax was disintegrated, he chose to come back as a revenant to fight Vecna, protect the world, and help his family. An opportunity he was only given due to his allegiance to the Matron. She gave Vox Machina and Vax extra time together and a chance to help save the world.

For those of you shouting "what about true resurrection!?! I hear you, and Matt said it's complicated and didn't elaborate lol. Personally, I think the Matron has quite the special a barrier of entry to true resurrection, if the spell even works at all in Exandria. I think they touched on it briefly in Calamity but I've forgotten. I can only imagine what insane ritual Matt concocted years ago that he's had plenty of time to work on since. Part of the Matron's whole thing is that everyone must eventually go into death, sure they can avoid it for a while, so some resurrection is fine (the DC gets higher every time), but eventually enough is enough and it's time to go. Hence why necromancers and liches are her enemies.

【vOrb】

It's been a long time since Yuko and Void stepped into each other's lives. Surprisingly, their first impression had something in common: unforgettable. How can Void forget a fangirl who stole his underwear and showed off right in front of him anyways? Their bond grew stronger and stronger since then. It was quite difficult for Void to admit his own emotions toward Yuko because of the primary effect, but the time they spent together was long enough to partially melt the wall of denial. That particular day when Void somehow acknowledged Yuko, one creature suddenly appeared in Yuko's delusional world, right in the middle of the room. Yuko picked it up with her both hands and looked it closely. It was small. It was round. It had small and short limbs too, which looks closer to beans than functional limbs. But the most important thing? It was purple. It looked just like Void. Yuko aggressively rubbed it onto her cheek with love, which effectively ruined her first impression again. Looking down at the angry thing, Yuko realized that it is not just one of Void merch. He is a creature. At the same time, Yuko can't help but think how this creature is so round and chubby, which is the biggest difference between Void and the creature. Round like an orb— Yuko named the creature vOrb.

Q. does vOrb has a same personality as Void or there’s some lil difference between them ? A. vOrb born with similar personality as Void but his desire level about attention is way lower than Void. He can be content just by being held in Yuko's hands though vOrb can be easily jealous when Yuko pays attention to something else way too long - this is more like Yuko personality than Void's

Not the memorable one. The super innocuous one, in which Ludinus and Trent insisted they'd just dug this weird rock out of the ground weeks ago, it's nothing to them, the Bright Queen can have it. The one where Eadwulf told Caleb he looked good despite having just crawled out of an eldritch horror's sludge and then showed off his super muscular, super tatted arms.

Let's return to Eadwulf's arms in a moment.

AU where you can use the Vorb as a Pokéball 🤣
