"This is Fine" - Fire Side Chat ft. Real Fire! (Critical Role)

The Wildemount Guide Q&A Fire Side Chat got a little heated. Clean your chimbleys and check your fire alarms folks!
Chaos aside it was really wonderful of Matt and Marisha to host this stream. I know a lot of critters, myself included have missed the CR gang a lot and its only been two weeks!
I've been in a bit of an editing slump lately but the joy of this stream inspired me to jump back in. Just know that it's ok to feel anxious in these unprecedented and crazy times. Find some joy where you can and be kind to yourself and others!
Stay safe critters!

What i love about this is how perfectly foreshadowed it was. Them being so excited about the fire, then mentioning the flue was giving them trouble, Marisha openly saying she hopes the chimney doesn't catch fire, and then the tension slowly racks up until they have to sit on the floor just to avoid the smoke- God, it's just... *chef's kiss* it's perfect
