Beau and Yasha: The Journey

a compilation of important and meaningful moments in the relationship between beauregard lionett and yasha nydoorin from campaign 2 of critical role.
just to preface, this is NOT a supercut of every single beauyasha moment. instead, i wanted to collect the key moments that really showcased their development (which turned out to be 3 hours long anyway). i had a lot of fun making it (and got emotional watching it multiple times), and i hope it accurately captures their journey.

hi there! this video now (finally) has chapters + after the live show in october i'll probably post a little add-on to this that encompasses the reunion episodes!

[@emilymitchell6823]

I love watching Marisha falling for Ashley’s character as much as Beau does, almost immediately

[@blaze4111]

she really went into the campaign with the "i'm gonna romance the shit out of ashley's character" mindset xD

[@troikas3353]

Iirc she actually had no intention of doing romance at all in C2. She created Beau to just be a “fuckboi” love em and leave em type through the whole campaign. The romance just developed on its own as the characters themselves developed and formed a bond, at least according to the players in the c2 wrap up.

[@mardek_]

As much as Ashley falling for Marisha's character. Even after 3 years, she's still deeply in love with Beau

[@dakotacampbell9936]

Beau really wanted to save that 5 gold and took the long way to end up in Yasha's arms

I apologize for replying to you five months after the fact, but this is my favorite comment in this section, thank you

[@lindam5971]

Likewise.

[@AdamEspersona]

The most legendary romance in CR history, and ALL of it was well-earned.

[@TheKrilicious]

Historians will remember them as very good roommates

[@AdamEspersona]

This definitely ranks up there with The Mighty Nope's lengthy supercut. A compact, three-hour journey of how our sapphic sentinels went from strangers to friends to (brief) enemies to friends once more to lovers to soulmates to eventual wives. A journey of hope, redemption, healing, love, and breaking free of the chains of the past. And how despite all odds, not only did they survive the worst that was sent their way, even not having died once in battle, and not only did they endure even against fate trying to get them to kill each other instead, but they also got their happy ending. Yasha Nydoorin, a woman raised as a weapon by her tribe and those wanting to use her for their own means, can finally rest and live a peaceful life, the life she always wanted but was denied in the past, as she can finally hang up her sword at long last, no longer needing to wield it again. Beauregard Lionett, a woman who was denied even the most basic notions of love and care by an abusive father and a system she grew to despise under false pretenses, can finally live free of those chains and be appreciated for who she really is: a champion of truth and justice, and a fierce protector who loves her found family so fiercely.

13:30 ... we're gonna see that animated. We're gonna hear Ashley actually perform that herself. I don't think we're ready...

[@mardek_]

Nobody is ready for that...

[@TheyCallMeCarg]

I don't know why, but when Yasha blurts out "I fell in love with you at Kamordah", I get tears and gooseflesh every single time. I've watched the date scene close to a dozen times now. and it gets me every damn time.

[@eggpassion]

yo the kamordah eps literally make me so emotional, after the date i went and watched how ashley looked during those episodes cause you can see the cogs turning in her head. my heart 😭

[@mattperiolat]

@@eggpassion Oh, doesn’t that moment between Yasha and Beau’s dad take on so much more meaning? It’s not a threat, it’s protecting what’s hers. That and Yasha is in the hag’s house in a flash once she realizes what Beau is about to do - “You want pain and I’ve got it in spades.” Yeah, BeauYasha is the greatest in the history of CR.

[@Tyrantlizard127]

I love how Yasha changed from a Fallen Aasimar to a Protector Aasimar.

[@twoearproductions1139]

The unbridled joy on Marisha’s face when Yasha talks about her feelings is what keeps me going.

[@lethalsandwhich]

This is perfect. I much prefer videos that have meaningful moments than long ones that you have to skip through to get to the good ones.

[@astroeditscr]

i'm glad to hear it!! people generally do full supercuts but that can be so difficult with cr, so i'm glad people enjoy this!!

[@kerimullane298]

I love seeing these two fall in love all over again, but I also love seeing Yasha start to become more and more goofy and relaxed as time goes on. This vid was no doubt a beast to put together, but it's much appreciated.

[@Grimfaxe]

2:44:29 Beau - Hot 😏 Yasha - Cool 😏 I feel like this statement sums up both of their personalities and and relationship pretty well 😊

[@fieryhephestus]

my favorite moment, by far: 1:12:44, mostly due to beau's reaction

[@robertanoemi1477]

I know the focus of the video is BeauYasha and I FREAKING LOVE THEM SO MUCH, but Jester’s “it wasn’t her” breaks my heart EVERYTIME omfg

I've come back to this video an unhealthy amount of time this past week (I'm at episode 31 on my first time through but I'm already waaay too invested in this relationship which was already spoiled for me)

Finished the campaign... and still here 😅

[@elsaandersson1652]

honsetly same, i'm on ep 11... But most of the campaign has been spoiled but i'm only watching it for Beau and Yasha

[@kyanitedragon8579]

This captures the development of their overall relationship so well, 11/10 Would and have watch(ed) multiple times.

[@songbird6414]

It’s the oddest thing. I’d been out for a while before I started even thinking about dnd, and way before I found critical role. Somehow, though, trying to play made me feel insecure about myself again, mainly because I was terrified of making others uncomfortable and ruining it. Then I started watching Campaign 2, and found these idiots, and man it was like having the freedom to come out again. Thank you so much, CR. You do good work.

[@jnewman69]

This is such an amazing edit of their story. I’m blown away by how well it flowed through many of the relationships defining moments. Thank you so much for making it!

[@AdamEspersona]

It’s a testament to how natural and organic their relationship developed. I highly doubt any future CR romance can ever compare.

[@cvaltsz]

[@ari_atreusdunigan5383]

I heard so much of Yasha and i can't escape the amount of Love i have for Yasha

3 hours of (mostly) amazing storytelling for me to binge in withdrawal of Critical Role content! Yas please!

[@j-dawg4774]

"No I'm hoping that you're going to patronize US! 😀" Molly was never my favorite but is hands down the sharpest, charismatic main character of Critical Role and I can see the appeal. He was the only one who could deal with Beau.

[@torakunoichi]

I adore these two as these characters Jester is the biggest shipper of these two and I love it The whole crew are dickheads and it’s amazing to watch how everyone flows but supports each other with whatever they’re doing

[@rossberg1000]

Marisha once said she never actually asked Ashley if it was OK to carry on. I wonder if she ever actually did but I guess how it played out, kind of answers the question. Actions sometimes speak louder than words.

Helps if you read this to the beat of the chorus of Drengr of Ragnarok. Edit: Added a verse before the one I originally thought of. All around, echoing there's children screaming, crying Scared stiff from the sound of thunderbolts and lightning Run inside, hide away still she'll always find you Even in the darkest room hidden out of view Coming in from the storm one you'll learn to never cross Six feet of chiseled stone skin as white as Xhorhas Refused to be with her 'trothed chosen by the Skyspear Stripped of rank, stripped of name and called the Orphanmaker

[@glassbubblewrap7721]

I doubt anyone will reply before I actually decide on what to do, but anyway. I really want to see this relationship, but it would take so long to get to watching the whole series (I may go back and do that later). Anyway I should probably just watch this compilation, right??.... right?

[@astroeditscr]

hi there!! i would say romance is definitely not the focus of critical role so it is a lot to watch through JUST for that, and there is a large amount of time where ashley isn't there because of work obligations. however the themes of found family are immaculate and the story and worldbuilding is incredible so if those things interest you, the beau and yasha of it all might be a nice benefit!

[@glassbubblewrap7721]

Maybe I'll get to watch all of mighty nein and vox machina one day. Can't wait for the animated series!

Can someone please explain the whole "fishmarket" being her favourite terrain? English isn't my first language and if its some kind of a language joke, I don't get it. Thanks

[@jasperb552]

It’s a joke about being a lesbian. In this case, fish market is loosely referencing female anatomy

[@FullMetalMachine]

i think its a joke related to the start of the campaign when beau said jails are not her favourite terrain

[@Cannon6969]

The whole “favored terrain” thing was a joke from Campaign 1, where Vex kept noting about her favored terrain. The “fishmarket” bit is about how she is a lesbian and female anatomy can be referred to as a fishmarket, as sometimes some women can have a fishy smell.
