ESSEK HAS TO MAKE A LOT OF BABIES (2x97) - (Chicago Live Show) | CRITICAL ROLE HIGHLIGHTS

[@Alexacz2]

It's so poetic that Caleb kissed Essek's forehaed like Molly kissed Caleb's at the beginning of the campaign

[@ChangelingWaves]

I may be looking into this, but his thing about “leaving it better than before” reminded me of Mollymauk as well

[@folkuey_artster]

Im so glad I wasn't the only one thinking of these things!

[@soooze7367]

It’s also got some really great Fortune’s Favour imaginary in there too, invoking a spell that gives you a second chance when you have failed, a spell Essek thought Caleb. What a fucking great moment

[@dirttrackart]

@@soooze7367 with that in mind, I wonder if the spell originally called for the pearl to be placed against the person's forehead or if Caleb does that as a call back to Molly kissing him. The first second chance he was given.

[@blowjinawilson5630]

@@ChangelingWaves it was obviously that. Caleb was doing what Molly did before.

[@realafan888]

"You were not born with venom in your veins" is a fucking line.

Well, that came off a little weird...

@@rosehaley6012 this is somehow the best and most cursed comment i have ever read with my own two eyes

[@zeriul09]

'well you know we have a limited amount of time and i would love for you to see the sun rise, so if there is a reasonable explanation then we would love to hear it' damn essek, not only have you pissed caleb off, you hurt his feelings too

[@holyheals]

It’s a chain Essek hurt Caleb and with that one line from Caleb you can see it kinda hurt Jester. ITS A CHAIN OF PAIN!!

[@lucindatheartist6435]

i could really feel the hurt and almost betrayal

[@Scorpious187]

5:07 "You can certainly try..." That had to make Matt's day. lol.

[@620n1]

He definitely had a grin on his face.

[@ChangelingWaves]

And Ashley got a fist bump

[@mistamemewide]

“I am so proud of this group.”

[@ukotoa1639]

“You where not born with venom in your veins.” Chills literal chills

[@sharemation5339]

Idk why, but i get some mgs vibe at the moment.

[@paulollarsabaiii9824]

SHARemation Venom Snake? Venom Snake

[@williamwilcox6964]

I’ve been wondering if Caleb was talking to himself as well as Essek.

[@sydneycottrell6742]

At the kiss you can hear someone gasp or almost scream and lemme say. Me too

[@princessjello]

Damn so many good callbacks in this moment. Yasha parroting "you can certainly try"* back to essek, everything mollymauk related, the mirror to fortunes favor. Chefs kiss truly

[@bernardoribeiro7652]

My favourite part is that beau and jester tried to be supportive of esseks shitty spying "owwa is essek!!"

[@sophiacozzo8964]

"You were not born with venom in your veins" gods I love this line

[@tadious9415]

Not to destroy an amazing moment with you can certainly try... But this is the guy who teleported them places and then teleported back. He was in that room by choice lol.

[@xanderman1201]

To a degree, but the Nein have improved a fair amount in the time that they've known him, and I know Caleb at least has Counterspell (possibly Ford too), Beau and Nott's insane Dex making them likely to out roll him on Initiative, and the action economy against him at 7 v 1, I feel it's actually more likely that the Nein would shut him down if he tried.

[@Harryacorn2]

Counterspell. Also that would be his worst panic option since they could just snitch on his ass to multiple secret police and government organizations.

At 9:00... Come on guys you know you can't do a Stillben shuffle without bodies ....

[@adamwelch2837]

how many babies are you going to have to make if you start a war!?

[@paothao7981]

...I won’t let you leave until you do... but you can certainly try...low laugh..... man! So nonchalant yet so much weight

[@alexford9360]

"You can certainly try"

[@sydneycottrell6742]

I need them to contact him. I know it hasn’t been very long for them but it’s been so long for me and I want to see if any of their thoughts have changed on trying to redeem him

[@lockskelington314]

Anyone else kinda afraid/hoping Isharnai is actually on the Cerberus Assembly and is the reason why the Volstruckers agents have to have to go through such torment?

[@AggressivePeanut]

Tbf to essek i'm sure he's tried to make plenty after a campaign :^)

[@last2nkow]

so many babies...

[@zucc3446]

[@ironrose6]

Not gonna lie, getting real tired of Edgelord Caleb. It's as annoying as when Taliesin kept picking at Scanlon for choosing to leave the group and find himself.

[@nomisunrider6472]

Dave Redacted There’s being an edge lord and then there’s c-PTSD. I get why people find the subject uncomfortable and of course you’re free to dislike whatever storylines you want, but there’s a significant difference between Caleb being the way he is cause he’s being “edgy” and being that way due to genuine psychological damage.

[@DragonMedic20]

I do get you, but it's like cry me a river buddy.

[@CriticalRoleHighlights]

You're taking this comment way too seriously. This is not about being insensitive towards people with PTSD. This is about someone expressing their opinion on how a character is played. Get over yourself.

[@CriticalRoleHighlights]

The Missus... In my comment section, everyone's opinion is allowed. He expressed his opinion. If you disagree, discuss. Don't whine about it.

[@CriticalRoleHighlights]

Nomi Sunrider: It's not genuine psychological damage. It's made up. Caleb could've literally been played any other way if Liam had chosen to. Circumstances and life experience didn't make Caleb this way, his manufactured backstory did. Stop projecting reality onto a complete fantasy world. If someone doesn't like the way Caleb is played it's because they don't like the way Caleb is played, not because they shit on real people with real problems.
