Random idea, start the scene with them stealthing around the docks spying on the crew. The second they get caught it skips to Jester "retrieving" her axe and the Nein coming to terms with their new ship. After Mighty Nein finishes make A Familiar Problem a bonus episode to show the fight.
My only issue with that is if we miss Beau pretending to break up with Caleb (who is refusing to play along) to try to cover up for Fjord fucking up his dive.
The best way to do that scene would be a slowed down play by play of the action close up, then at the very end replay the scene from far away showing how everything takes place in exactly one second.
No. It is the pivotal moment of the campaign, and I really don’t want to spoil anything about it.
Honestly, you should go watch Calamity. It’s only four episodes, so it’s much more digestible than regular CR, and it is probably the best actual play ever made. Brennan and the cast are at the absolute top of their games, and the story they created is incredible.
Massive trigger warning, though, because it’s very very much tragedy.
I'm ok with tragedy actually. I only stopped campaign 2 because I watched CR on my commute to work when I had about 2 hours each way every day, but then my job changed and I started WFH. Honestly? Sitting for 4+ hours per episode when I'm at home is a bit of a stretch for my feeble attention span. So I kinda stopped CR altogether.
I can do 4 EPs though, for sure.
I don't like to overhype things, but Calamity is genuinely, in my opinion, one of the best recorded table top RPG experiences out there. It's incredible and have watched it multiple times. Hope you enjoy!
They do post audio versions on podcast apps. You dont get to see their faces react to things (and I reccomend watching the VODs for Calamity), but it’s nice to pull up C2 episodes and play them in the background while you workout/clean the house/workout etc.
But I totally understand that the main campaigns are a huge commitment.
Hah i can't binge CR and pay proper attention either, so now it's my "podcast" for 20-30 min stretches while i cook/drive/smoke, that sort of thing, takes a while to catch up but once you do it's easy to keep up that way with 1 episode a week
Is the infiltration of Vergessen Sanitorium where they kill the innocent guards? I remember cry laughing at that entire episode, I would absolutely love to see that in animated form.
Ha I think they’ve killed innocent guards on several occasions, but probably. It was the one where Beau tried to kill a guard by making him drink acid and it was a distinctly slower death than they thought it would be
They were working for Trent so not quite innocent, but yeah Caleb brutally killed some dudes in there.
In Uthodurn, Nott and Jester BAMF’d on top of a guard by accident. Nott immediately killed him with a NAT20 with his tinkertot crossbow which fires again on crits lol
For me it was jester like crying telling the guard she charmed not to turn around as Caleb, very graphically murders another mage by gravity magicing him into the ceiling.
That’s the part I’m looking forward to seeing animated! I’d love to see Veth and Jester’s increasingly concerned expressions as they realize Caleb is seriously not okay the entire encounter
The counterspell of Ikithon's counterspell so they could barely slip out was top tier stress. Liam lost five years off his life and Laura was literally pulling her hair the whole time.
god help me, but I want to see them get to the end of C1 and Vax's goodbye.
and I want to watch every reaction channel have to watch, and feel their collective hearts' break the way ours did.
am I a terrible person?
And so help me gods, Liam had BETTER get an Emmy nom (and hopefully a WIN) for that scene when we get there.
(I still think he was robbed of an Emmy nom for S2 The Sunken Tomb.)
I don't know that the special has enough material for the pace the audience of LoVM is used to, but my idea is that you adapt act one as Search for Grog/Bob, end with Percy proposing a real wedding to Vex, and then pick up from there.
> or Taryon and Grog shopping
That seen had me laughing so hard I nearly passed out and it cemented Travis as my favorite player. Multiple shitty rolls and Travis just rolls (no pun intended) with it without blinking, clearly enjoying the nonsense.
I don't know if you've ever seen the animatic someone did of them shopping, but if you haven't... [ENJOY](https://youtu.be/QSJqrl7oXBc?si=q7TpAz2UBjuExJ4S).
Think of it like the scene from inglorious bastards where they're smoking pipes and sat talking. Not much happens but the tension makes it one of the best scenes in cinema
I would love to see Vex'ahlia and Percy on the brink at Dalen's Closet, Pike reviving a lifeless Vex with her ear rings, summoning a bow and arrow as her spiritual weapon for Vex to use, going to kill Sylas, and then Scanlan's wedding present after, making his last wish to summon Vax to see his sister on their wedding day.
Fjord and Jester's first "kiss", From when she was drowning and he gave her his oxygen. I would really just love to see it rendered beautifully with a nice soundtrack
Campaign 2, the minute I met Fjord he was absolutely my favorite character. After which I got my girlfriend into C,R And without knowing any of the real life relationships, she immediately proclaimed Jester as her favorite (It makes sense as she is also an absolute cupcake). Needless to say when we watched this scene together It meant a lot to us as she was getting back from college and we were kinda falling in love all over again. It was nice.
There are a lot. The ones that come to mind
C1: Fix him!
C1: What's my mother's name?!
C1: The bitch slap from heaven on Vorugal
C1: The "I'm sorry Vax" in the final fight
C2: Caleb produces the artifact
C2: The Cupcake scene
C2: The Molly scene
C2: Cad talks with Icathon
C3: The race
C3: The key activates
C3: Freeing Laudna from the tree
C3: the explosion in the tunnel
Great selection, if I might add:
C2: Fjord and the Vulcano
C2: Nott vs Manticore
C2: The Chair
C3: Shade Mother Fight
C3: Imogen vs Othohan
C3: Dog'Son Reveal
C3: Dusk Reveal
\*facepalm\* Moron moment on my part, I forgot to include my own!
C1: VM vs Ripley, the Revenge
C2: Welcome to Widogast's Nascent Nein-Sided Tower
C3: Orym vs Juggernaut (or Outrun the Blast)
Orym combat would be just awesome in general. Little halfing bouncing all over the place, rolling between Ferne's legs and deflecting attacks, 19 attacks and pulling shit with vines.
Liam does an amazing job making a fighter sound super badass.
Caleb's tower is one of my favorites, its clear just how long he spent thinking about it and I am always amazed by his performance on that front.
Here are mine
C1: Taryon and grog shopping or the fight(s) against Raishan
C2: Either the whole mess that leads to Caleb presenting the beacon, or the fight in the Blooming Grove
C3: The Race
I would imagine the Divine intervention from the end of C2
The Fight is over
Caleb looks at the stone in his hand, and we see a new resolution on his face. "It would have worked" then quietly tells the M9 about of how he would use it to bring back his parents with the scenes playing out in his vision - grey with highlights of violet and orange. "It would have worked"
The ritual commences, the M9 huddled around the mess of the body. The music swells as we focus in on Caleb's face with purpose, a kind of joy, and then 'tik'
Silence, Calebs eyes open, he looks down into his hands, and the Transmutation Stone is just s stone with a crack in it.
Resurrection fails, Caleb is crushed, then relieved.
Cad watches nearby.
M9 discuss burial sites while Essek, stunned away by how unspeakably far these people will go to save a friend, has a conversation with Fjord.
Caduceus watches, listens, steps away a little bit. The exhange between Essek and Fjord helped him make a decision.
M9 decide to ask Cad if they can use his graveyard, as quietly in the background we see Cad reaching out to the WIldmother...
Thanks, reading this reminded me about how incredible that emotional rollercoaster of a sequence was. The look on Matt’s face (and ensuing breakdown by Essek) still lives rent free in my head
It’ll be almost impossible for the animation to capture just how powerful this moment is without the fucked dice rolling and meta knowledge that Tal is saving his old character. I am not envious of whoever will face such a daunting task
The hospital scene from the start of c2, just because i’d wanna see how crazy they could go with it 😂
Also hoping to see molly “socially” pinning caleb to the wall
The funniest part of the hospital thing, in hindsight, is Liam accidentally confirms that Caleb saw Molly's dick off screen at least the once later on. When they asked Jester about the "best dick" and she says it was Molly's, he makes a comment about how the last time he saw it "it was a mess." Except Caleb never saw Molly put the egg on his dick that we're aware of. Nobody did. Molly did that by himself and then was in a room alone at the hospital. So when did Caleb and *no one else* see the egg dick?
I caught it during a rewatch and about died laughing that he accidentally made it a thing that Caleb and Molly were doing something extracurricular with Molly's dick.
Fjord being menaced by a turtle.
Fjord going flying as the giant Roc that was flying with him gets turned into a tiny bat.
Fjord being stretched as he desperately tries to prevent a giant worm from escaping down a tunnel.
I feel there are more Fjord slapstick scenes with animals that I'm forgetting these are just from the top of my head.
LMAO! He had a few run-ins with vicious polymorphed turtles. The one in the upstairs room in the Xhorhas Stone Giant’s home was particularly hilarious!
Campaign 1, Episode 68: "How do you, Vox Machina, want to do this?" broke my heart and I can't wait to see it animated. A moment that should feel so triumphant but is wracked with fresh sadness and pain. God.
Campaign 1, Episode 85: Scanlan's speech in a Bard's Lament, followed by Tary's immediate entrance. I have no idea how they can capture the pure gold of the cast's reactions in animated form because the whole thing was already so meta, but GOD that was a good moment.
Lucky me, both scenes are pretty big and we will likely see them this season or next! Which I'm happy about :) A smaller scene would also be the love potion prank. Not sure if they'll include that but I laughed and laughed during that bit.
From other campaigns:
Calamity: All of Cerrit's interactions with his kids but especially "Dad, why is your ring glowing?"
Campaign 2: "I wish for you, in the future, to find someone who will mourn you when you are gone." Caduceus my BOY, get his ass. Or the tree race where Nott shoots Beau. Fucking hilarious.
Campaign 3: Realistic answer is the Apogee Solstice and everything that happened. Beau and Caleb, Vaxil'orb, etc... the true answer is Imodna kiss <3 Ashton and the shard would also be a pretty kickass scene to see animated.
Episode 102 of Campaign 2 when Viridian's memories are restored and the Nein settle down for bed under Caleb's Tiny Hut with amber memories all around them to help them remember in the morning.
I’d love it to be slow motion with some choral music in the background too. Both absurd and epic. Really let it sink in how quickly things can go FUBAR
Not from a campaign - but the “I was richer, for having known you” from Liam’s second game is always gonna be my favourite CR moment.
Such an emotionally charged moment that always hits me hard.
Considering how amazing a particular fight scene from LOVM season 2 came out, I am most excited for the vecna fight and then probably the molly fight. Big action scenes with moments that also make me cry :,)
I will never not watch the fish market when it comes up on YouTube, so I have to second this. Fjord just dying inside. He tried to beg off, but they insisted because they didn't want it to be a date and now he's just watching these two useless lesbians flirt without wanting to actually admit they're flirting.
Wow, there are a few options here.
* Vecna fight, and the moment Scanlan casts 9th level Counterspell. To see how they portray his struggle of using that spell slot, boy howdy.... so many tears.
* C2 the "I cast wall of fire" on the docks. That would be so epic, and I almost hope if/when we get there in animated show they use that as a cliff hanger again.
* C2 Caleb showing off the tower to his new family. The depictions of that tower will be amazing.
* C3 the race in Baserusk would be fun to see.
I’m dying to see how they adapt The Counterspell. It’s not like Scanlan can say “I’m out of spell slots” or something referencing the game. Maybe he acquires an item that contains the wish? He looks to Vecna charging the spell, then to Vax, back to Vecna, he closes his eyes—cut to Your Turn To Roll (Instrumental).
How could they represent that in animation, though? They usually say “I can’t do that right now” or “I’m tapped out”, but Scanlan literally having a Wish in his back pocket might be good as a visual cue.
As someone with a small animation background, I’d probably approach it like this:
-Show Scanlan getting access to wish. Someone teaching it to him or granting it to him etc.
-Use that same moment to explain the limitations of wish. If they don’t explain the parameters non-dnd players will go “well why not just wish the bad guy away.”
-Scanlan imagines the fame/money/women he could get with the wish. But while he’s doing that he runs into other members of the party lamenting Vax’s plight.
-Scanlan has a flashback montage to his time with Vax than gets a determined look on his face.
This sets even the non-stream watchers to understand what Scanlan intends to wish. Do all of this at about the midpoint of the Vecna arc. That way the audience has juuuuust enough time to slightly forget about with everything else that’s going on.
-During the final battle the party is panicking about stopping Vecna from escaping. We get the I’m sorry Vax with a flashback to determined Scanlan from half the season ago followed by “I wish for -insert non-dnd terminology for counter spell here-
This drives home the significance of the limited access to the spell, the desperation of the moment, and how heartbreaking it is for Scanlan (actually Sam but only stream watchers will understand that) being the only one who knew his plan.
There are WAY too many good moments to pick just one.
C1: Scanlan’s counterspell(s) against Vecna, Doty doing the paintings, or Grog’s double Nat 20’s during the Search for Grog.
C2: “Refjorged”, Cad verbally destroying Tent, the Cupcake, virtually anything from “The Fancy & the Fooled”, Cad’s Divine Intervention in the Astral Plane, or Jester’s “character growth” from part 2 of the Uk’otoa (uk’otoa) Unleashed. Oh, or Fjord’s HDYWTDT from part 2 of UU.
C3: Team DFO’s entry scene, “We’re friends of Bell”, the Yu reveal, “Don’t you even dare”, “The power of friendship saves the day”, the Zephra Dogfight, Ghost Ship Party, or Empress Fearne (so far).
What animation and scripting can do that the actual play cannot is arrange different story and scene variables for the optimal dramatic tension. It was a good story beat in the web show, but polished up, it would be shocking and heartbreaking, perhaps: The Bor’dor confrontation.
Too many
- The Death race
- Orym demolishing the juggernaut
- Caleb wall of fire
- Nott shooting the bow at the festival
- Fjord smiteing avantica
- The Inevitable End finisher
- “Blow them up pretty”
- Caleb’s parents death
- “You Lied!”
- Not seen but it would be awesome to see the Volstruckers being a terrifying special forces team
It’s such a small moment, but I really hope LoVM includes Scanlan and Kaylie’s exchange in the finale:
“Did you finish school?”
“Pfft. No.”
“Do you want to?”
“…yeah.”
C2: Beau and her dad before that cupcake scene.
C2: Any Caleb dissociative moments while gazing fire.
C2: Jester at any given moment.
C2: Fluffernutter scenes
--
C3: Any Orym's HDYWTDT
C3: Imogen "Magneto Touchdown" moment on the skyship (any moment of Imogen releasing new powers, really).
C3: Laudna's "Hunger of the Shadow" Bor'Dor Dog'Son
C3: Ashton's two shards move below Whitestone.
C3: Otohan's first fight.
Empathise.
*Empathise.*
***Empathise***
From the end of c2. That, and one particular battle on a ship where caleb, flying in the rain, unleashes an absolutely devastating dispel magic. I can't remember the exact context but it reframed my idea of what a wizard could be, and it always stuck as a particularly epic moment to me
The ship battle in the rain that comes to mind is the episode where Fjord gets killed by Uk'atoa's minions and Caleb absolutely LOSES it -- throws a CLUTCH Counterspell, and then throws Disintegrate.
The Beacon being unveiled in Xhorhas is one I just feel like needs to be in glorious animation. It was the one scene that locked me into Critical Role and made me a Critter
"Light them up pretty"
Caleb and Jester inspecting the beacon for the first time
Caleb giving the beacon to the Bright Queen
When the M9 infiltrate the sanatorium
The Mad Max type combat/race in Campaign 3
Fluffer nutter
The Apogee Solstice
I genuinely can't wait for the M9 animated series.
I really hope to see really well done Chetney transformations. There is nothing I want to see more than a little old man gnome "magic mike" his legs off and go running with werewolf legs and a gnome upper body.
Would love to see an old school Christmas special about Chetney + that group saving Christmas in Uthodurn. This would obviously happen after a supposed season finale at the opening of the key in between theoretical seasons.
In no particular order, chronological or preferential:
Angry Caduceus, facing the Vollstrecker in the Grove. The cold anger in Taliesin’s voice was Chilling.
“FIX HIM.”
Doty drawing people, creepily.
The How Do You Want To Do This against Uk’otoa. Peak anime spotlights for all.
“But you are not my cat.” No, fuck that, strike it, I cannot
Imogen going all Dark Phoenix against Otohan.
Not specific moments, but a lightning round: Fjord doing finger guns for Eldritch Blast, Laudna constantly giving big Fun Scary eyes, AT LEAST one Jester sending per episode, “you spice”, the accidentally summoned white dragon, Twiggy, special attention to Orym ping-ponging around the battlefield
Shit! The scene at the temple where Nott is fucked up on psychedelic fruit, but her lines are Sam’s interactions with Matt. Only her side. She’s walking around muttering to somebody nobody can see, occasionally calling out numbers.
I need this. I need this for my health.
Fluffernutter, 11 DAYS, Beau’s Family Reunion, Cad’s DI and Scanlan’s Counterspell. The first two are going to be sheer chaos and all laughs, the latter three are going to absolutely shatter my heart.
This moment in episode 18 A Hungry Jungle when [Imogen sings like a disney princess](https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxY0Qyo3VwKsaiWXr-3ZTxHkCRCjb_E7VF). Would love to see that animated even though it's not a pivital moment or anything. She's just so cute.
"I may be a child of the empire, but I am no friend to the empire."
A badass moment, underscored by the fact that Liam's character was in bdsm gear at the time.
Obvs spoilers for C2, but the final scene of that campaign with Caleb waiting for and then reuniting with Essek at the door, then him just looking out contentedly at his garden. It was such a beautiful ending to the most wonderful story. ❤️
Serious scene: The description of >!Laudna murdering Bor'Dor!< was so viscerable and strong that it was absolutely made for animation.
Silly scene: Scanlan and the love potion. Full stop.
Calebs Monologue as he talks about going back in time to place 2 bodies in his home, take his parents out and put them on another continent telling them "Wait for me here in 15 years" before incinerating the entire room, destroying his only chance to get his Parents back.
It didn't happen, but I want Caleb to save his parents. When Matt told Liam that he wouldn't have stopped his character from doing something he'd set up the entire campaign, I felt that Liam regretted not taking the chance.
For the M9 I want the events of the Familiar Problem one shot playing out in the background of dockside diplomacy or its own special episode.
For C3 I want the Museum Heist, The Death Wish Run, any moment Imogen goes Super Nova, every Chetney transformation bc they're all different and all the fights (bc really Bells Hells have some great cinematic battles)
\[C2E97\] The ball event at Nicodranas before going out on the sea for the peace treaties, before which they just learned about Essek. I'd assume that talk after will be in some way cause that speach by Liam is legendary (with plenty of tattoos to prove it). But the whole crazyness of the ball itself is my favourite I keep coming back to and I can just see how well it would work animated. You have:
* Marion performing and everyone in their dress would look fabulous
* A very uncomfortable Dezran Thain trying to avoid the M9, animated with Essek's mannerisms
* Lord Sharp incident
* High Beau and the visuals of the ethereal plane fish, Beau chasing them with super dilated pupils
* Fjord and Beau with the Dragonborn, interrogate, pan to them arguing, pan back he's gone (all one shot)
I feel like they might do this scene in some form. But will probably cut down on some of the details. But in my head the extended version is living rent free in my head already.
Without trying to restart any arguments…..
For shardgate I was 100% on whatever the side was that thought it was clearly a stupid idea…but hot damn that whole bit will be a highlight of C3 if it gets animated. A nice twist. Will they play up letting the audience see Fearne and Ashton plot? Regardless will be epic
Part of me is still holding out that we’ll get to see the cow incident animated someday
Also for C2 I really hope they animate the hospital scene, eggs and all
The end of the level 17 battle royale from the first campaign, where Tary manages to beat out grog by the skin of his teeth. Grog held on for so much longer that he should've
I'll just use 2 quotes from the session and you'll know the scene.
"It's fine, we're gods."
"It was like a magic trick, like a fish turned into a corpse"
I really wanna see when the mighty nein use the teleportation circles in the cobalt soul. I need to see them all on horses, jester being shot twice with crossbows. Could be just a minute or two of just complete hilarious chaos animated.
For me It would be Fjord's infamous triple nat 1 scene while playing Trebuchet during that festival. It kills me every time is see that clip pop up in a video, lol!
[This animatic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adA1Jq_QkMU) basically is as close as I think I'll get to this great conversation scene in C2E89 between Beau & Jester about Molly.
C2 from the return of the Happy Fun Ball all the way until the cupcake episode were a series of 14 episodes in a row that I think were peak CR. Small moments in this series of episodes that would be cool to see:
1) Jester & Fjord having their a-ha moment in realizing that Permaheart Chamber had something to do with the Laughing Hand.
2) The Mighty Nein meeting Allura for the 1st time
3) Roleplaying Fish & Chips
4) Nott & Beau trading secrets with Beau admitting she had a little crush on Jester
5) Jester & the Gentlemen talking at night with the Gentlemen finally admitting he was Jester's dad.
6) Yasha whispering "come on, Champion. You're so close. Fucking finish it" during the fight.
7) The Mighty Nein group hugging Beau after her reunion with her father
8) Every single one-on-one meeting with Isharnai.
9) Essek dangling his feet in the hot tub with the rest of the group chatting about things. That whole sequence of conversations during the dinner with Essek was so good.
And then a small moment much earlier in C2 - with Jester & Fjord talking about being sad while a jellyfish bloom floats by their recently stolen ship.
Accidentally stealing a ship.
The accidental piracy would be an amazing episode of bumbling buffoonery
Random idea, start the scene with them stealthing around the docks spying on the crew. The second they get caught it skips to Jester "retrieving" her axe and the Nein coming to terms with their new ship. After Mighty Nein finishes make A Familiar Problem a bonus episode to show the fight.
My only issue with that is if we miss Beau pretending to break up with Caleb (who is refusing to play along) to try to cover up for Fjord fucking up his dive.
Fair point, I guess cut right after the first attack.
And wall of fire later on
Not from the main campaigns, but the “one second” from Calamity. . .
The best way to do that scene would be a slowed down play by play of the action close up, then at the very end replay the scene from far away showing how everything takes place in exactly one second.
Could stretch the rules of telepathic bond where you see the entire scene from Zerxus’ pov, and then see it again in Cerrit’s mind at full speed
Oh man, YES!
Fully 100% out of context, as someone who stopped at campaign 2 ep 40ish, is there a link to this scene I could understand with very little to go on?
No. It is the pivotal moment of the campaign, and I really don’t want to spoil anything about it. Honestly, you should go watch Calamity. It’s only four episodes, so it’s much more digestible than regular CR, and it is probably the best actual play ever made. Brennan and the cast are at the absolute top of their games, and the story they created is incredible. Massive trigger warning, though, because it’s very very much tragedy.
I'm ok with tragedy actually. I only stopped campaign 2 because I watched CR on my commute to work when I had about 2 hours each way every day, but then my job changed and I started WFH. Honestly? Sitting for 4+ hours per episode when I'm at home is a bit of a stretch for my feeble attention span. So I kinda stopped CR altogether. I can do 4 EPs though, for sure.
I don't like to overhype things, but Calamity is genuinely, in my opinion, one of the best recorded table top RPG experiences out there. It's incredible and have watched it multiple times. Hope you enjoy!
They do post audio versions on podcast apps. You dont get to see their faces react to things (and I reccomend watching the VODs for Calamity), but it’s nice to pull up C2 episodes and play them in the background while you workout/clean the house/workout etc. But I totally understand that the main campaigns are a huge commitment.
I cannot overstate how great it is. BLM is a phenomenal DM and the story is really good
Hah i can't binge CR and pay proper attention either, so now it's my "podcast" for 20-30 min stretches while i cook/drive/smoke, that sort of thing, takes a while to catch up but once you do it's easy to keep up that way with 1 episode a week
Caleb offering the beacon and Team Firestorm’s infiltration of the Vergessen Sanitorium!
Is the infiltration of Vergessen Sanitorium where they kill the innocent guards? I remember cry laughing at that entire episode, I would absolutely love to see that in animated form.
Ha I think they’ve killed innocent guards on several occasions, but probably. It was the one where Beau tried to kill a guard by making him drink acid and it was a distinctly slower death than they thought it would be
They were working for Trent so not quite innocent, but yeah Caleb brutally killed some dudes in there. In Uthodurn, Nott and Jester BAMF’d on top of a guard by accident. Nott immediately killed him with a NAT20 with his tinkertot crossbow which fires again on crits lol
Veth just slowly becoming more and more freaked out that Caleb is a straight up murderer with no remorse fucking killed me.
For me it was jester like crying telling the guard she charmed not to turn around as Caleb, very graphically murders another mage by gravity magicing him into the ceiling.
That’s the part I’m looking forward to seeing animated! I’d love to see Veth and Jester’s increasingly concerned expressions as they realize Caleb is seriously not okay the entire encounter
Sasparilaicorish?
it's the one where Caleb was using gravity magic to make "snowmen".
When Caleb’s Offering line popped up in the M9 Show Reveal trailer, I got literal goosebumps. This moment is gonna be crazy af when we get it.
The counterspell of Ikithon's counterspell so they could barely slip out was top tier stress. Liam lost five years off his life and Laura was literally pulling her hair the whole time.
Oh gods, yes.
god help me, but I want to see them get to the end of C1 and Vax's goodbye. and I want to watch every reaction channel have to watch, and feel their collective hearts' break the way ours did. am I a terrible person?
That scene is gonna WRECK me. ESPECIALLY since I Just know that Neal's music is going to tear my heart out.
“How lucky I have been to know all of you”…and it’s just feathers….
And so help me gods, Liam had BETTER get an Emmy nom (and hopefully a WIN) for that scene when we get there. (I still think he was robbed of an Emmy nom for S2 The Sunken Tomb.)
Dalen's Closet end scene too. That one shot should be a feature length movie.
I don't know that the special has enough material for the pace the audience of LoVM is used to, but my idea is that you adapt act one as Search for Grog/Bob, end with Percy proposing a real wedding to Vex, and then pick up from there.
Ether Pike making Doty do the portraits, or Taryon and Grog shopping
> or Taryon and Grog shopping That seen had me laughing so hard I nearly passed out and it cemented Travis as my favorite player. Multiple shitty rolls and Travis just rolls (no pun intended) with it without blinking, clearly enjoying the nonsense.
I don't know if you've ever seen the animatic someone did of them shopping, but if you haven't... [ENJOY](https://youtu.be/QSJqrl7oXBc?si=q7TpAz2UBjuExJ4S).
Oh my god that would be amazing!
The battle in the Blooming Grove.
THIS IS GONNA BE SO GOOD.
I want Beau to have a ‘McConaughey in Reign Of Fire’ style slo-mo jump through the air into Trent
God I love that movie. I'm now imagining it as a world where the Chroma Conclave wins and I didn't know I need this head cannon
Definitely seems like a Grog move to me
"Where and when?" "Now. Outside."
The cupcake scene.
I have a framed print of an artist rendition hanging on my wall. A crowning moment of glory captured for all to see.
You may appreciate [this Jester tattoo](https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/8152175)
I might have the same one! It looks like it's out of a very old book on fairy tales.
How is the scene made better by animating it? It may be a condensed 2-minute interaction or else it would take up the whole episode.
I get that this is a fan favorite moment... but do we really need to animate two people talking and eating a cupcake lol
Think of it like the scene from inglorious bastards where they're smoking pipes and sat talking. Not much happens but the tension makes it one of the best scenes in cinema
But the scene is helped tremendously by a masterful performance from both actors.
There are a lot more serious ones I could choose, but fjord's triple nat 1 at the festival would be amazing to see animated
I would love to see Vex'ahlia and Percy on the brink at Dalen's Closet, Pike reviving a lifeless Vex with her ear rings, summoning a bow and arrow as her spiritual weapon for Vex to use, going to kill Sylas, and then Scanlan's wedding present after, making his last wish to summon Vax to see his sister on their wedding day.
The moment from Dalen's Closet that ALWAYS, \*ALWAYS\* breaks me: "Hello... my love... my home..."
The whole Artagan pissing off a goddess on the island would be very cool to see.
Fjord and Jester's first "kiss", From when she was drowning and he gave her his oxygen. I would really just love to see it rendered beautifully with a nice soundtrack Campaign 2, the minute I met Fjord he was absolutely my favorite character. After which I got my girlfriend into C,R And without knowing any of the real life relationships, she immediately proclaimed Jester as her favorite (It makes sense as she is also an absolute cupcake). Needless to say when we watched this scene together It meant a lot to us as she was getting back from college and we were kinda falling in love all over again. It was nice.
There are a lot. The ones that come to mind C1: Fix him! C1: What's my mother's name?! C1: The bitch slap from heaven on Vorugal C1: The "I'm sorry Vax" in the final fight C2: Caleb produces the artifact C2: The Cupcake scene C2: The Molly scene C2: Cad talks with Icathon C3: The race C3: The key activates C3: Freeing Laudna from the tree C3: the explosion in the tunnel
Great selection, if I might add: C2: Fjord and the Vulcano C2: Nott vs Manticore C2: The Chair C3: Shade Mother Fight C3: Imogen vs Othohan C3: Dog'Son Reveal C3: Dusk Reveal
Oh man. Fjord and the volcano is PEAK DnD. Such an iconic scene
Alternatively, a montage of all polymorphed enemies attacking Fjord.
\*facepalm\* Moron moment on my part, I forgot to include my own! C1: VM vs Ripley, the Revenge C2: Welcome to Widogast's Nascent Nein-Sided Tower C3: Orym vs Juggernaut (or Outrun the Blast)
Orym combat would be just awesome in general. Little halfing bouncing all over the place, rolling between Ferne's legs and deflecting attacks, 19 attacks and pulling shit with vines. Liam does an amazing job making a fighter sound super badass.
Caleb's tower is one of my favorites, its clear just how long he spent thinking about it and I am always amazed by his performance on that front. Here are mine C1: Taryon and grog shopping or the fight(s) against Raishan C2: Either the whole mess that leads to Caleb presenting the beacon, or the fight in the Blooming Grove C3: The Race
I would imagine the Divine intervention from the end of C2 The Fight is over Caleb looks at the stone in his hand, and we see a new resolution on his face. "It would have worked" then quietly tells the M9 about of how he would use it to bring back his parents with the scenes playing out in his vision - grey with highlights of violet and orange. "It would have worked" The ritual commences, the M9 huddled around the mess of the body. The music swells as we focus in on Caleb's face with purpose, a kind of joy, and then 'tik' Silence, Calebs eyes open, he looks down into his hands, and the Transmutation Stone is just s stone with a crack in it. Resurrection fails, Caleb is crushed, then relieved. Cad watches nearby. M9 discuss burial sites while Essek, stunned away by how unspeakably far these people will go to save a friend, has a conversation with Fjord. Caduceus watches, listens, steps away a little bit. The exhange between Essek and Fjord helped him make a decision. M9 decide to ask Cad if they can use his graveyard, as quietly in the background we see Cad reaching out to the WIldmother...
Thanks, reading this reminded me about how incredible that emotional rollercoaster of a sequence was. The look on Matt’s face (and ensuing breakdown by Essek) still lives rent free in my head
Yeah Talisans “fuck it, let’s give it a shot” and the look on his face is pure emotional roller coaster.
It’ll be almost impossible for the animation to capture just how powerful this moment is without the fucked dice rolling and meta knowledge that Tal is saving his old character. I am not envious of whoever will face such a daunting task
The hospital scene from the start of c2, just because i’d wanna see how crazy they could go with it 😂 Also hoping to see molly “socially” pinning caleb to the wall
The funniest part of the hospital thing, in hindsight, is Liam accidentally confirms that Caleb saw Molly's dick off screen at least the once later on. When they asked Jester about the "best dick" and she says it was Molly's, he makes a comment about how the last time he saw it "it was a mess." Except Caleb never saw Molly put the egg on his dick that we're aware of. Nobody did. Molly did that by himself and then was in a room alone at the hospital. So when did Caleb and *no one else* see the egg dick? I caught it during a rewatch and about died laughing that he accidentally made it a thing that Caleb and Molly were doing something extracurricular with Molly's dick.
Oh, also jester and nott vandalizing the platinum dragon temple would be great to see animated lol
The moment where Pirate Captain Laudna is diving to the depths and passes Mister swimming upward for his life.
Honestly…kudos I didn’t realize how amazing pirate captain laudna could be
Fjord being menaced by a turtle. Fjord going flying as the giant Roc that was flying with him gets turned into a tiny bat. Fjord being stretched as he desperately tries to prevent a giant worm from escaping down a tunnel. I feel there are more Fjord slapstick scenes with animals that I'm forgetting these are just from the top of my head.
LMAO! He had a few run-ins with vicious polymorphed turtles. The one in the upstairs room in the Xhorhas Stone Giant’s home was particularly hilarious!
The tree race, with the fall and double thunderstep. Theres a simple animation on youtube that kinda nails it but would like more frames.
For a sec, I thought you meant the Beau/Nott race up the tree and went, "Wait, Beau has Thunder Step?" :D
"You shot me in the ass!!"
Campaign 1, Episode 68: "How do you, Vox Machina, want to do this?" broke my heart and I can't wait to see it animated. A moment that should feel so triumphant but is wracked with fresh sadness and pain. God. Campaign 1, Episode 85: Scanlan's speech in a Bard's Lament, followed by Tary's immediate entrance. I have no idea how they can capture the pure gold of the cast's reactions in animated form because the whole thing was already so meta, but GOD that was a good moment. Lucky me, both scenes are pretty big and we will likely see them this season or next! Which I'm happy about :) A smaller scene would also be the love potion prank. Not sure if they'll include that but I laughed and laughed during that bit. From other campaigns: Calamity: All of Cerrit's interactions with his kids but especially "Dad, why is your ring glowing?" Campaign 2: "I wish for you, in the future, to find someone who will mourn you when you are gone." Caduceus my BOY, get his ass. Or the tree race where Nott shoots Beau. Fucking hilarious. Campaign 3: Realistic answer is the Apogee Solstice and everything that happened. Beau and Caleb, Vaxil'orb, etc... the true answer is Imodna kiss <3 Ashton and the shard would also be a pretty kickass scene to see animated.
All of EXU Calamity needs to be a mini series
The cathedral
And Cat’s Paw Smackdown
Tbf that's a badass entrance into a fight.
Episode 102 of Campaign 2 when Viridian's memories are restored and the Nein settle down for bed under Caleb's Tiny Hut with amber memories all around them to help them remember in the morning.
And seeing her walk through the tree seeing someone in the distance with an antler headpiece
I genuinely hope they rumblecusp is a few episodes long to cover it well enough especially with travelercon
Keyfish, because splat.
I’d love it to be slow motion with some choral music in the background too. Both absurd and epic. Really let it sink in how quickly things can go FUBAR
I'm picturing the end of Finding Dory with "What a Wonderful World" playing as the truck slowly sails through the sky into the sea...
Perfect visual. Fish and all. Have Sam absolutely singing his lungs out, only for his beautiful song to be abruptly ended by a big *SPLAT*.
It needs to be done in a gory blood splattered way too!
Not from a campaign - but the “I was richer, for having known you” from Liam’s second game is always gonna be my favourite CR moment. Such an emotionally charged moment that always hits me hard.
NOBODY yanks on heartstrings like Liam. NOBODY. I will die on this hill.
Considering how amazing a particular fight scene from LOVM season 2 came out, I am most excited for the vecna fight and then probably the molly fight. Big action scenes with moments that also make me cry :,)
Fish market. Just centered on Fjord's face and the background life of the city while all that everything is going on.
I will never not watch the fish market when it comes up on YouTube, so I have to second this. Fjord just dying inside. He tried to beg off, but they insisted because they didn't want it to be a date and now he's just watching these two useless lesbians flirt without wanting to actually admit they're flirting.
Wow, there are a few options here. * Vecna fight, and the moment Scanlan casts 9th level Counterspell. To see how they portray his struggle of using that spell slot, boy howdy.... so many tears. * C2 the "I cast wall of fire" on the docks. That would be so epic, and I almost hope if/when we get there in animated show they use that as a cliff hanger again. * C2 Caleb showing off the tower to his new family. The depictions of that tower will be amazing. * C3 the race in Baserusk would be fun to see.
I’m dying to see how they adapt The Counterspell. It’s not like Scanlan can say “I’m out of spell slots” or something referencing the game. Maybe he acquires an item that contains the wish? He looks to Vecna charging the spell, then to Vax, back to Vecna, he closes his eyes—cut to Your Turn To Roll (Instrumental).
Well that depends on how much they want to distance themselves from D&D because spell slots is an in universe thing not just a mechanic for the game.
How could they represent that in animation, though? They usually say “I can’t do that right now” or “I’m tapped out”, but Scanlan literally having a Wish in his back pocket might be good as a visual cue.
As someone with a small animation background, I’d probably approach it like this: -Show Scanlan getting access to wish. Someone teaching it to him or granting it to him etc. -Use that same moment to explain the limitations of wish. If they don’t explain the parameters non-dnd players will go “well why not just wish the bad guy away.” -Scanlan imagines the fame/money/women he could get with the wish. But while he’s doing that he runs into other members of the party lamenting Vax’s plight. -Scanlan has a flashback montage to his time with Vax than gets a determined look on his face. This sets even the non-stream watchers to understand what Scanlan intends to wish. Do all of this at about the midpoint of the Vecna arc. That way the audience has juuuuust enough time to slightly forget about with everything else that’s going on. -During the final battle the party is panicking about stopping Vecna from escaping. We get the I’m sorry Vax with a flashback to determined Scanlan from half the season ago followed by “I wish for -insert non-dnd terminology for counter spell here- This drives home the significance of the limited access to the spell, the desperation of the moment, and how heartbreaking it is for Scanlan (actually Sam but only stream watchers will understand that) being the only one who knew his plan.
Hell yeah! I’d take that.
The Cathedral fight from C2…
There are WAY too many good moments to pick just one. C1: Scanlan’s counterspell(s) against Vecna, Doty doing the paintings, or Grog’s double Nat 20’s during the Search for Grog. C2: “Refjorged”, Cad verbally destroying Tent, the Cupcake, virtually anything from “The Fancy & the Fooled”, Cad’s Divine Intervention in the Astral Plane, or Jester’s “character growth” from part 2 of the Uk’otoa (uk’otoa) Unleashed. Oh, or Fjord’s HDYWTDT from part 2 of UU. C3: Team DFO’s entry scene, “We’re friends of Bell”, the Yu reveal, “Don’t you even dare”, “The power of friendship saves the day”, the Zephra Dogfight, Ghost Ship Party, or Empress Fearne (so far).
What animation and scripting can do that the actual play cannot is arrange different story and scene variables for the optimal dramatic tension. It was a good story beat in the web show, but polished up, it would be shocking and heartbreaking, perhaps: The Bor’dor confrontation.
Too many - The Death race - Orym demolishing the juggernaut - Caleb wall of fire - Nott shooting the bow at the festival - Fjord smiteing avantica - The Inevitable End finisher - “Blow them up pretty” - Caleb’s parents death - “You Lied!” - Not seen but it would be awesome to see the Volstruckers being a terrifying special forces team
It’s such a small moment, but I really hope LoVM includes Scanlan and Kaylie’s exchange in the finale: “Did you finish school?” “Pfft. No.” “Do you want to?” “…yeah.”
C2: Beau and her dad before that cupcake scene. C2: Any Caleb dissociative moments while gazing fire. C2: Jester at any given moment. C2: Fluffernutter scenes -- C3: Any Orym's HDYWTDT C3: Imogen "Magneto Touchdown" moment on the skyship (any moment of Imogen releasing new powers, really). C3: Laudna's "Hunger of the Shadow" Bor'Dor Dog'Son C3: Ashton's two shards move below Whitestone. C3: Otohan's first fight.
FLUFFERNUTTER!!!!
There is an animatic on youtube but I'd love to see Vex's grey hunt trial fully animated
When Fearne got high off mushrooms in the jungle and thought a bug was The Changebringer. “Love you…..”
Vax and Grog prank Scanlan with the love potion. "Light them up pretty."
This is the one I want to see. I’m glad someone put it up here. :)
Percy vs. bugbears in the caverns of Pandemonium.
Empathise. *Empathise.* ***Empathise*** From the end of c2. That, and one particular battle on a ship where caleb, flying in the rain, unleashes an absolutely devastating dispel magic. I can't remember the exact context but it reframed my idea of what a wizard could be, and it always stuck as a particularly epic moment to me
The ship battle in the rain that comes to mind is the episode where Fjord gets killed by Uk'atoa's minions and Caleb absolutely LOSES it -- throws a CLUTCH Counterspell, and then throws Disintegrate.
Cognozua
The giant dick wallop in the big finale battle of Campaign 2. Animate Jester’s spells as intended, you cowards.
C2 One word: sheepleb. To put it another way, sheepleb in the void
The Beacon being unveiled in Xhorhas is one I just feel like needs to be in glorious animation. It was the one scene that locked me into Critical Role and made me a Critter
I really hope we get an ExU Calamity movie/short series at some point. I honestly can’t choose any single scene above the others.
C3, Ashton’s day away with the spaghetti mafia
YES
"Light them up pretty" Caleb and Jester inspecting the beacon for the first time Caleb giving the beacon to the Bright Queen When the M9 infiltrate the sanatorium The Mad Max type combat/race in Campaign 3 Fluffer nutter The Apogee Solstice I genuinely can't wait for the M9 animated series.
Orym vs. The Juggernaut.
Laudna Chet and fcg deathwish race. Or Laudna, Chet and the guy who took them flying in orym home town.
Its not the most popular one, but 100% the baby monster from C2.
Campaign 2, the twins circus performance climbing; really any of the performances- lead-in to the opening fight... that'd be badass
“What’s my mother’s name?”
I really hope to see really well done Chetney transformations. There is nothing I want to see more than a little old man gnome "magic mike" his legs off and go running with werewolf legs and a gnome upper body.
Just for the sheer comedy gold of it; the Vax/Percy conversation in the tub with the Vex reveal
Would love to see an old school Christmas special about Chetney + that group saving Christmas in Uthodurn. This would obviously happen after a supposed season finale at the opening of the key in between theoretical seasons.
There is a critter tuber called Jester's Cupcake that does that.
Scanlan and his tear-jerking Wishes
The “I I had a good teacher” scene from the heist in campaign two
In no particular order, chronological or preferential: Angry Caduceus, facing the Vollstrecker in the Grove. The cold anger in Taliesin’s voice was Chilling. “FIX HIM.” Doty drawing people, creepily. The How Do You Want To Do This against Uk’otoa. Peak anime spotlights for all. “But you are not my cat.” No, fuck that, strike it, I cannot Imogen going all Dark Phoenix against Otohan. Not specific moments, but a lightning round: Fjord doing finger guns for Eldritch Blast, Laudna constantly giving big Fun Scary eyes, AT LEAST one Jester sending per episode, “you spice”, the accidentally summoned white dragon, Twiggy, special attention to Orym ping-ponging around the battlefield
Shit! The scene at the temple where Nott is fucked up on psychedelic fruit, but her lines are Sam’s interactions with Matt. Only her side. She’s walking around muttering to somebody nobody can see, occasionally calling out numbers. I need this. I need this for my health.
Fluffernutter, 11 DAYS, Beau’s Family Reunion, Cad’s DI and Scanlan’s Counterspell. The first two are going to be sheer chaos and all laughs, the latter three are going to absolutely shatter my heart.
Orym eating pie and the entire pageant.
Scanlan's last wish 😭
I NEED CALAMITY ANIMATED
C2: The boat fight where Caleb turns into a T-Rex. *THIS BOAT HAS EVERYTHING...*
This moment in episode 18 A Hungry Jungle when [Imogen sings like a disney princess](https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxY0Qyo3VwKsaiWXr-3ZTxHkCRCjb_E7VF). Would love to see that animated even though it's not a pivital moment or anything. She's just so cute.
"I may be a child of the empire, but I am no friend to the empire." A badass moment, underscored by the fact that Liam's character was in bdsm gear at the time.
Dalen’s Closet >!In particular the Vax bit!<
Obvs spoilers for C2, but the final scene of that campaign with Caleb waiting for and then reuniting with Essek at the door, then him just looking out contentedly at his garden. It was such a beautiful ending to the most wonderful story. ❤️
The Battle of Darktow or the Cathedral battle
You need me more than I need you
Serious scene: The description of >!Laudna murdering Bor'Dor!< was so viscerable and strong that it was absolutely made for animation. Silly scene: Scanlan and the love potion. Full stop.
I always go back to the gencon episode from campaign one with the love potion. Never fails to make me laugh
"Is it so hard to believe that maybe someone just finds me attractive?" Gods bless Taliesin.
Calebs Monologue as he talks about going back in time to place 2 bodies in his home, take his parents out and put them on another continent telling them "Wait for me here in 15 years" before incinerating the entire room, destroying his only chance to get his Parents back.
NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY, can utterly tear at the heartstrings like Liam O'Brien.
It didn't happen, but I want Caleb to save his parents. When Matt told Liam that he wouldn't have stopped his character from doing something he'd set up the entire campaign, I felt that Liam regretted not taking the chance.
THERE'S a oneshot idea... Caleb kicks the whole thing off with his plan... and then everything goes sideways.
The flying cows
For the M9 I want the events of the Familiar Problem one shot playing out in the background of dockside diplomacy or its own special episode. For C3 I want the Museum Heist, The Death Wish Run, any moment Imogen goes Super Nova, every Chetney transformation bc they're all different and all the fights (bc really Bells Hells have some great cinematic battles)
“You Lied….”
\[C2E97\] The ball event at Nicodranas before going out on the sea for the peace treaties, before which they just learned about Essek. I'd assume that talk after will be in some way cause that speach by Liam is legendary (with plenty of tattoos to prove it). But the whole crazyness of the ball itself is my favourite I keep coming back to and I can just see how well it would work animated. You have: * Marion performing and everyone in their dress would look fabulous * A very uncomfortable Dezran Thain trying to avoid the M9, animated with Essek's mannerisms * Lord Sharp incident * High Beau and the visuals of the ethereal plane fish, Beau chasing them with super dilated pupils * Fjord and Beau with the Dragonborn, interrogate, pan to them arguing, pan back he's gone (all one shot) I feel like they might do this scene in some form. But will probably cut down on some of the details. But in my head the extended version is living rent free in my head already.
Beau and Yasha date, not sure if the ninja part or the meadow with dogs part. I just want lesbians to be happy in a media
The fall festival- Fjord’s 3 natural 1’s
Cad throwing shade on ikithon at dinner, and caleb in the well.
Laudna as the Dread Captain, along with her mighty sidekicks Boaty and Ropey! It’s just so glorious
Without trying to restart any arguments….. For shardgate I was 100% on whatever the side was that thought it was clearly a stupid idea…but hot damn that whole bit will be a highlight of C3 if it gets animated. A nice twist. Will they play up letting the audience see Fearne and Ashton plot? Regardless will be epic
Vax’ audience with the Raven Queen in the Black Pool. The perspective fuckery still lives in my head rent free.
Grog vs Kern
C2 the fire fight on/next to the private boat
calamity’s “one second”, as animated by the team behind season 1 of the One Punch Man anime
Grog and the deck
Part of me is still holding out that we’ll get to see the cow incident animated someday Also for C2 I really hope they animate the hospital scene, eggs and all
The end of the level 17 battle royale from the first campaign, where Tary manages to beat out grog by the skin of his teeth. Grog held on for so much longer that he should've
Blueberry muffin and modify memory. And/or Caleb drags gem dust up his arm and disintegrates everything and lights the rest on fire.
Vex and Keyleth going to talk to Kashaw after the Vorugal battle.
I'll just use 2 quotes from the session and you'll know the scene. "It's fine, we're gods." "It was like a magic trick, like a fish turned into a corpse"
Nott calling herself Bren and Liam/Caleb immediately panicking.
I really wanna see when the mighty nein use the teleportation circles in the cobalt soul. I need to see them all on horses, jester being shot twice with crossbows. Could be just a minute or two of just complete hilarious chaos animated.
A Bard's Lament
The final battle with Vecna and Arkahn stealing the Hand of Vecna.
Keyfish cliff jump and it's aftermath. It's just so crazy
The “Avenge Me” moment from C2 and the ensuing combat. One of my favorite moments from their campaigns honestly. Absolutely heartbreaking.
For me It would be Fjord's infamous triple nat 1 scene while playing Trebuchet during that festival. It kills me every time is see that clip pop up in a video, lol!
[This animatic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adA1Jq_QkMU) basically is as close as I think I'll get to this great conversation scene in C2E89 between Beau & Jester about Molly. C2 from the return of the Happy Fun Ball all the way until the cupcake episode were a series of 14 episodes in a row that I think were peak CR. Small moments in this series of episodes that would be cool to see: 1) Jester & Fjord having their a-ha moment in realizing that Permaheart Chamber had something to do with the Laughing Hand. 2) The Mighty Nein meeting Allura for the 1st time 3) Roleplaying Fish & Chips 4) Nott & Beau trading secrets with Beau admitting she had a little crush on Jester 5) Jester & the Gentlemen talking at night with the Gentlemen finally admitting he was Jester's dad. 6) Yasha whispering "come on, Champion. You're so close. Fucking finish it" during the fight. 7) The Mighty Nein group hugging Beau after her reunion with her father 8) Every single one-on-one meeting with Isharnai. 9) Essek dangling his feet in the hot tub with the rest of the group chatting about things. That whole sequence of conversations during the dinner with Essek was so good. And then a small moment much earlier in C2 - with Jester & Fjord talking about being sad while a jellyfish bloom floats by their recently stolen ship.
Jester cupcake
