Critical Demons

[@srslyimnotaspy101]

“Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.” ― G.K. Chesterton

[@SecretRedBeard]

Ah fuck, I tried to hide down here to avoid the tears, and that set me off

[@SingingSealRiana]

and thats why we need scary things in kidsbooks, how else can they lern that in a safe enviroment?

[@Reblwitoutacause]

Okay. This made me cry.

[@Astranus100]

This is why I love D&D. Why being asked to join a game is a challenge, a compliment, and a privilege. A movie is let me show you a story. A book is let me tell you a story. D&D when done well is, Will you help me tell a story?" Thanks to the collective cast of Critical Role for sharing one hell of a story with us.

[@CraigKinsey]

Erik The Troll beautifully put.

[@billcasey9672]

I know this is an old post, but I'd really like to thank you for the way you put this. In a world that wants to override you, and foment division, dependence and despair, within groups, large and small, and in the self, well, your words stand out! "Will you help me tell a story",?? not of small, petty parasitic wounds, but about growing into a greater world, and being a force for good. Again, thank you Very much.

[@khorrusvoa]

If I ever become a GM for a longer campaign, this is how im going to ask players to join. "Will you help me tell a story?"

[@PolynomialPandemic]

"Sound off if you're alive!" "Percy?" "Percy!"

[@loganbush8000]

I know this comment is like a year old, but what episode is that from?

[@InfiniteQube]

@@loganbush8000 i know im late here, but if you still haven't figured it out, it was episode 83: The Deceiver’s Stand, after the fight against Raishan.

[@jlog3540]

Video ends*

[@Lanorb]

The most beautiful part of this is not all the sad parts (granted they're beautiful in their way), it's a group of friends sharing the joy of their game and laughter with us week after week.

[@joshkorte9020]

Rarely do I cry at a show or movie, but Grog yelling "fix him" and Scanlan's counterspell broke me.

[@ethanpalmer7555]

One of my favorite lines in the show was included in this and i love you for it "I may be big, but you make me feel small." -Grog Strongjaw

[@EckonicMaster]

I'm a DM for a reason! This video is what encourages me to keep going.

[@rileylarkin1254]

Vann Jarmon Exactly. If I can get even half of this kind of emotional investment, that would be the best feeling.

[@maximumdm9612]

I know I got a scene not long ago and a few players almost cried it was amazing I can testify

[@perfectlyse9859]

I personally feel that the group I've been dming for for the past few months is my forever groupie are all so invested in all of our charecters we will have points where most of us almost cry or are crying

[@JocoChill1235]

Moment that get me every time (both campaigns) : -Scanlan's 9th level counterspell vs Vecna -Vax's final goodbye -Beau attending Zeenoths trial -Caleb explaining (internally) his ultimate plan and giving it up & him revisiting his home

[@isaiahwelch8066]

You should have added the end of the fight with Trent, where Nott ends up putting the silhouettes of Caleb's parents against backdrop of Cad's home burning, pointing the accusatory finger at Trent. That moment is just as powerful as Zeenoth, in how Caleb finally gets justice for what was done to him.

[@Ryumare]

The two moments that get me every time no matter how many times I watch them is Grog saying "No. No! Fix him. FIX HIM!" and Pike and Grog doing the resurrection ritual for Scanlan. So beautiful. Such a fantastic show all around and can't wait for more of this in the new year.

[@Kaiso54]

When I try telling my friends about Critical Role, they probably stop listening at "Dungeons and Dragons" or "live stream". This is probably the best video on youtube to show people that it is on par with the best TV shows, with even more genuine emotions. Kudos !

[@Doomboyify]

Bards Lament is the most feel intensive episode

[@thewallie3]

"FIX HIM" is one of my favorite moments in the group. Because Grog doesn't understand why the party isn't bringing him back like the dis for Percy. The childlike attitude of Grog rang true with me because i lost my father at a young age. We wanted magic to happen before our eyes. To not accept the current circumstance.

[@spenceroneil4747]

The pure emotion Travis conveyed In those few simple words was amazing

[@morgencunningham8455]

I cried in the middle of class watching this. Which is really weird cause I'm Travis's height and literally 5 people looked over super concerned. I'm sitting crying and giggling at the same f*cking time. Class ends and I show them this video. They all here alot about C.R. from me so they understood. I made 5 more critters after this vid.

[@bezretmet]

@@CarboKill we were born too early

[@OniNoSweeney]

"I made 5 more critters after this vid." You're doing the gods' work, Morgen!

[@timbothany06]

The moment Pike started speaking tears immediately started flowing from my eyes, I loved that scene so much T^T

[@fallshum23]

I'm not going to make it if season 3 ends the way I think it's going to

[@charleybrett1663]

I didn't even watch campaign 1 and parts of this killed me. I am simultaneously looking forward to and dreading what will happen when one of the Mighty Nein are killed.

[@charleybrett1663]

Okay can I just say that I don't watch the streams (time zone stuff), I watch them on KZbin when they're uploaded. I didn't know about Molly, I swear! E26 was exactly the mix of nightmare and artistic genius that I was hoping for.

[@Dicefinity]

@@charleybrett1663 it's been 2 years, and I know what you were hoping for. And I know that it has been given. Molly is dead but also forever in the series in subtlties.

[@theaeon]

they just get so into the role... it makes you emotional, like watching a good movie

[@stolen_serenity]

That aged poorly but in the best possible way -- and reading this today just made me make the most pained giggle I have ever made oh my life

[@Neodova]

Oh..... All the memories..... All my characters and their adventures.... The hardships... The laughs... This video has brought back all of those memories.... This reminds me of why I love tabletop games. Thank you!

[@Reblwitoutacause]

2:37 this is how intune and amazing a player Travis was, with Grog. I mean..... what a helluva ad lib line. On the spot. "I didn't have blankets." Heartbreaking. Pure.

[@acetraineraster5171]

"I'm a big guy but you made me feel *small"* and "No... no! Fix him! *FIX HIM!"* have to be my favorite serious Grog lines ever.

[@tecraccoon]

One of teh biggest heartbreaking moments was Pike's "Scanlan?"

[@C0maT0ast]

I love watching Vox Machina do their thing. There are times I find it hard to swallow the romances as they're being enacted, but then there's these real moments of emotion that make you realise you're witnessing something priceless. Those moments are what keep me coming back for more. Great video, cheers for sharing.

[@walkinghazards7528]

Seeing a group of genuine friends this into d&d, this willing to be vulnerable over it with each other and just this *close* makes me both very happy and very sad at the same time. It also reminded me that CR helped me get through the toughest period of my life.

[@MrAngeline13]

After watching the vecna finale last night....this about killed me. I'm going to love new charectors I know, but I'm gonna miss these old ones like the dear friends they've become. And don't worry, I won't spoil anything. Except to say it was a hell of a show.

[@zerg49er]

Dresden Dame I watched this before the final and felt a little teary, but after the finale this broke every block I put up not to cry.

[@MrAngeline13]

i know what you mean. it was rough..

[@matthewward2058]

Damn it! This really makes me wanna go back and watch all the episodes from from the beginning again - haven't the time to do that but what a fantastic edit!!

[@ginatonic842]

*whispers* Doo iiit....

[@ariaflame-au]

Listen to podcast version?

[@tomvn96]

I come back once a year to watch this video. Ive followed this silly group of voice actors from Humble beginnings, and these memories from campaign one are so precious to me. They got me through many a rough patch. This compilation and the underlying music perfectly encapsulate how special it is to me, and undoubtedly many more people out there. Thx fellow Critters for being out there ❤

[@tonihofmann2045]

So wonderful heartbreaking and heartwarming moments ... I´ve seen them, and they get me again each time I watch them ... and with the right music they get even a deeper meaning. Like Vin Diesel said - This is more than friends, this is family!

[@Rodestar-fg5yk]

Ashley saying in character that she wouldnt be the same if he died (im not there yet, dont come for me) is the one that got me. They all have this magic of bringing these characters to life simply with their voices

[@beezer524]

Oh my god all the feels. This is what makes Critical Role so damn special. Awesome video, thank you.

[@gorklives]

We will fight, or we will fall - 'til the angels save us all. Very well done tribute. I'm a critter late joining the series (they had just had their first encounter with Vecna when I finally decided to start watching the entire series) but I'm already on Ep 24.

[@khess6610]

So beautiful what an appropriate portrayal of what critical role is

[@rileylarkin1254]

I HAVE WATCHED THIS SO MANY TIMES I LOVE IT SO MUCH

[@SeekingDarkRainbows]

PHENOMENAL editing, my dude

[@galdezmalishviel2279]

Screw you for all the feeling that you brought back!...a..and.... thank you for bringing back those memories......the time that Persivle died as well as when Vax died I had to stop working and sit in my truck and for an hour and cry.....my boss....still doesn't understand why.....

[@gracew-hr6ih]

I’ve watched a bit of campaign 1 and all of campaign 2 and I love all these people. I wish I knew them, it’s my new obsession. It makes me really sad when I try to tell something funny or cool to my family or a friend and they just seem so disinterested because these people mean a lot to me, even if they’re not even aware of my existence I would die to meet them. Critical role is just a bunch of nerds playing a role play game, but it’s become everything for me.

[@greyfalcon1144]

A year late but The way i have always been with to those close to me is if it makes them happy then it matter to me because their happyness matters to me. But dont let those around you snuff out your joy for something that means something to you. It can be such a hard thing to find sometimes. And look on the brightside, we live in a era of technology where communication is easier then ever. You wil find people to share it with that care (like me)

[@petesgurl101]

I forgot about Grog and Scanlan, and hearing him say "Fix him" again broke me...I'm sitting here crying!!!! Amazing video. I love the song!!!

[@LittleLiger07]

Gorgeous video, this is probably one of the best examples of how powerful this show can be. Thank you for this video!

[@timehunter4230]

Thank you so much for adding this amazing piece of goodness to the world.

[@KHades396]

Incredibly moving. Thank you for putting together what I love about Critical role.

[@shaytheshef2098]

I come back to this video often, and it brings tears every time

[@malkavian2]

I am not ready for this campaign to end!

[@wyzzup]

This is too good. Gave me chills.

[@tentaclemade]

i've watched this at least 6 times in the last 5 days and bawled every. single. time. good job, you

[@ajc7295]

This makes me miss VM so much. I adore the M9 but man this made me miss this family :’-)

[@WolfMoon173]

I've watched this 3 times today, I can't get over how all the lines combined wit the music really affect me. 'Tis critical role.

[@rubbishkazi001]

Five years later, im still emotional when i saw back cr s1 campaign

[@XDskylover]

What a beautiful video. Critical Role deserves everything and more. The Critter community is one of the best on the internet. Thank you so much. ♥

[@SoftSapphic]

W O W thank you for the feels trip,,, d a ng Wonderfully edited!

[@gavananderson4756]

This video brings me so much inspiration. I strive to become a good enough DM to the point where my players can have moments like this. My players are all quite new and struggle with role play, but I KNOW that as a group effort we will get to the level Critical Role is at. I love every cast member of CR, each and every one of them creates a piece of art every time they play.

[@Nightlark36]

Oh boy, I needed a good cry today!

[@shaunwilliams7943]

I am so not crying right now. This video didn't make me cry at all... I just have something in my eyes.

[@Freirelucass1]

God damn it, they included the "fix him" moment in this... 😭😭

[@natanaelapreutesei]

My tears go down, while my hair goes up. Goosebumps....wow

[@LoopyPeoplezz1]

This is beautiful and filly showcases what makes Critical Role so so good

[@MadaZitro]

Am I the only one who listens to this at least 6 times a week? Because I listen to this sometimes 6 times a day.

[@abbyb1843]

I'm so happy and so very sad at the same time......good job :,)

[@Bellandora]

I don't know why, but I keep listening to this, even though it brings me to tears. Great job!

[@20chickens]

AWESOME video! Well done, Lovisa!

[@FrederikGamePlays1]

I don't know why, but every time Ashley says something just remotely sad or emotional, I just well up in tears...

[@Nerdderby_on_YT]

Love this video so much. I watch it at least once a week.

[@NamelessWilkins]

This is absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for creating this masterpiece.

This was such a wonderfully heartbreaking tribute! Thank you!

[@daygoeson]

Only 15 episodes in and this shows up on recommended. Maybe I'm late or havnt had time to process a story that is over three years old.. but I loved tiberius the most and to see him gone is the only thing making me sad during this video.

[@leighrose9922]

I have not even watched campaign one yet and this made me cry

[@TheLordLogic]

1:10 WHAT EPISODE IS THIS FROM I FORGOT ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT

[@Espinozaize]

It is from the episode: "The sunken Tomb (44)". The moment occurs, at the very end of the episode: 4:19:00 just cheked up on that for anyone who wants to see that great moment.

Trying to find the moment at 0:48 in the video. I'm trying to remember a battle they had with such an enormous celebration. EDIT: I found it, Kevdak fight.

[@lovisajohansson6822]

It's from the Kevdak battle ep 52. EDIT: Did not see your edit. Well as long as you found it! XD

[@beezer524]

Yeah, I spent about 20-30 minutes looking for it. That was such a tense battle. I'd forgotten about it. They were so close to being entirely screwed. Not as much as the time Keyleth went down in the Nine Hells, but certainly close.

[@fenanlavellan1038]

what a way to make me cry
