And toxic femininity too, dear.

[@exessen1684]

@@tangchan6221 Can you elaborate what you think toxic femininity is? And why you feel the need to mention that in this context. I know the answer, I'd just like you to type it out lmao

[@tangchan6221]

@@exessen1684 Hi Exessen, I’m actually glad you asked me this question. Toxicity is a trait that is expressed both in males and females but since there is a lot of attention given to men being toxic we often forget that women themselves are toxic in their own way, although both traditional male and female toxic behavior can be found in the opposite gender depending on the individuals. What we can call toxic femininity can vary, from an overprotective mother that shelter her children to the point of them not being able to experience the world for themselves, a possessive and jealous lover (similar with men) but the most common thing you will find in women is their internal competition for social status that often lead to group behavior and ostracization to gather recognition from the group they belong to. Ostracized women who fall victim to toxic female behavior will often experience bullying, reputation destruction and sabotaging from their toxic peer. There’s much more to talk about but this is the best i can weite for you now. I hope you recognized something from what was said and you avoid those type of people in your future endeavors.

Listening to Talisan talk while he is hugging his friends, is basically describing what purring feels like when you hear it, and feel the rumble in your system. Talisan is just a cat.

[@elliotmodzelewski1954]

7:13 it makes me so sad to think about how locked in Robbie was with them. He really was the 8th cast member (sorry, Orion) that they never had bc he was part of the theater kid VO nerd crowd, and they always smiled so big whenever Robbie had big moments as Dorian. I miss the man and his character, and I know the Critrole family misses him too

[@SweetDeath777]

DUDE the way you phrased that made me think he died and i had to google him in a panic jesus christ😭

[@HugoGojibiter]

He absolutely fit in so damn well, it never felt like he was just a long running guest, he was another member of the cast that we just never realised was missing during the last two campaigns. I’m really hoping he gets to return in the future, either in the main show as Dorian or in whatever one shots they might do

[@Logan_Baron]

Even before the issues, I think Orion was always a little bit outside the group. That he was more of a friendly accountance in the biz, than a friend to the degree the rest of them were before they even started playing together. That the others got involved in the game because they were already pretty close friends, while he was more of a guy they were friendly with who seemed to have similar interests so got invited to play. And that's not an insult or even critique of Orion, as A. I understand he's getting his stuff together now, and B. I've been that person in a few friend groups.

[@SageLegacy]

Robbie was so solid. It made the beginning of bells hell's so strong, especially chetney too being added late it wasn't awkward at all. I'm still happy they mention his character at times

I had rough times, living all alone, but every week I knew I could watch critical role on Thursday nights (more like Monday afternoons) because GMT, and everytime I look at the episode number I can see all the weeks that went by and how I grew during the past year and a half, I think I found my safe space, these nerds bring me a heartfelt joy. I just wanna thank this community and Critical role

That Marisha answer around 9:25 or 9:30 was such an accurate representation of the themes from The 2 Beths falling in love episode from Rick and Morty.

I just had a realization that made me almost cry. I’ve been playing TTRPGs with a pretty decent sized group of people for nearly 5 years now. They are my closest friends in the world.
