Henry Crabgrass - Best NPC ever | Gay Panic | Beauyasha | Critical Role C2E112 Highlights

Bless Mercer's ability to create such distinct personalities on the fly.

[@CrashSable]

Pretty sure he's got a bank of personalities he applies to situations as they come up.

[@aceshino1]

I feel like we can agree to just bless Matt Mercer😂😂😂

[@stephmo371]

Truly a pleasure to watch

[@jacquelinen5059]

I'm sure as soon as jester got the ability to speak with plants he prepped a bunch of personalities

[@davidparkes7741]

@@jacquelinen5059 We can only hope his other vegetation voices are just as cute, am i right?

[@flamingkitten1]

As great as Ashley's acting is it's even better to imagine Yasha doing the same movements. Big scary goth queen Yasha grabbing a strand of her hair and putting in front of her face is great.

[@GoldnDusty]

The “I smell like a crayon” is a million times funnier in the original episode than any animation I’ve seen. Ashley’s face just sells it.

[@flamingkitten1]

There is a difference between Yasha and Pike. Ashley saying Pike lines is herself cute and you can see it more easily. Yasha is this large goth queen.

[@GoldnDusty]

Yeah, sure. I mean, I haven’t seen campaign 1. Ashley is Yasha, to me. This soft, thoughtful woman who, at the drop of a hat, hardens into this ice cold rage. Like I said: Ashley’s face sells Yasha’s comedy. She’s a funny woman.

[@Samael767]

@@braydenkinder75 No, he (with Essek's aid) made a custom spell to irrevocably turn Nott back into Veth. True Polymorph is dispellable.

[@tamaralso]

@@braydenkinder75 Caleb turned Nott back into Veth with a homebrew spell called Widogast's Transmogrification! It can permanently turn one humanoid creature into a different humanoid race. Unfortunately, Henry is out of bounds on that one :( True Polymorph is a 9th level spell, so we have some adventuring to do before we get there.

[@folkmar00]

Even the fact that Jester's knowledge about love comes from porn xD

[@jetvulcan2020]

@@folkmar00 there are a number of factors with Jester her sheltered upbringing, mother being a courtesan, & having a fey best friend growing up has given Jester a different view on physical love & flirting compared to romantic feelings. early in the campaign she was open about her mother having sex for money she was flirty but when it was about her real feelings those she was protective of.

[@betahammer3566]

[@itsThan_]

It’s really interesting how Henry’s personality shifts over the conversation. First at “Juhh there was some movement” Henry is very childlike Second at “You mean like like like a like a cycle” and then further at “...conversation like this before” where it’s more adolescent/college nerdy voice Third at “...diggin’ and and chantin’”where it’s slightly farmer “yeehaw” neediness. Fourth, which encompasses some of each, at “there are limitations...” Gosh, it’s so cool. Matt spinning through these voices/personalities until he’s able to confidently land on one.
