I know nothing about Critical Role. These are some characters' impressions I got based on fanart

• fabulously dressed lavender tiefling ready to slay

• twin(?) elven siblings with long-ass generic pill names. I think archwizard Xanax and magister Ibuprofen are an actual part of their bloodline.

• unhinged little goblin that laughs in the face of gender identity

• that one two-colored half-orc that is tuskless(?) for some reason so I'm assuming Trauma™

• pink-haired Greenpeace firbolg

• that one ginger human wizard (?) that gets shipped with EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER in this damn fandom. Seriously, he gets passed around like a blunt. Also, I've never seen a single fanart of that man where he doesn't look absolutely MISERABLE, so I'm assuming he's some kind of depressed Victorian child.

I love DnD and I'm about to watch Critical Role for the first time after years spent seeing fanart made by the fandom without having any context. This are the characters I know about so far, and I've got no idea if this is the right impression or not. NOBODY CORRECT ME, I have to figure it out on my own. ( Btw I've no idea how many campaign this has or what season each character is from.)

The Mighty Nein created themselves in so many ways, more sideways and careful than the usual D&D party structure, more selective than the usual scrappy nobody heroes, and I can’t stop thinking about it.

(I know it’s been over a year. I know.)

Because some it was intentional and some of it was pure coincidence, some of it was a minor backstory detail that suddenly made everything fit into place, and some of it was large enough to hurt, and so terribly clever.

Nott the Brave being an anagram for Veth Brenatto.

Fjord Stone, with a surname he rejected because it felt it didn’t fit, having SO MUCH meaning tied to the Wildmother in a way that no one, not even Travis could have ever predicted.

Jester naming herself because she wanted to make people happy.

Beau, given the name of the son her father always wanted.

And Caleb Widogast, a name that was random and stuck because Bren decided to stay with the goblin girl he met in prison. And Bren, said in so many ways throughout the story: as a weapon by Trent, as a reminder. It’s just a name. Caleb doesn’t seem to mind being called it, but the way it’s said matters so much. Astrid calls him Bren like she’s calling him home.

Orphanmaker. The title Yasha wore when she wasn’t herself, and never a name her friends called her.

(Molly/Lucien is their own post, honestly)

And then their name. The Mighty Nein. The Mighty No. A joke, at first.

(“But there are only seven of you” “we lost two in the sewers.”)

They liked it because it was ironic, because it was a good cover. And then they did finally, actually, become Nine later. Who could have thought?

I’m just…forever so in awe of how carefully stitched together this family was, how they were so careful with what they called themselves, how barely anyone will remember the name The Mighty Nein.

They were such a goddamn good story.

I miss them.
