Meeting Marion Lavvore (Part1/2) - Critical Role Animatic (C2E33)

[@mentalrebllion1270]

I love the energy here of “I don’t understand my daughter but I totally do at the same time and love her dearly”. I love that type of mom energy.

[@shimmyking4]

the only scene of Marion i love more than this is when she low key threatened the rest of the Nein that she'd have them hunted down if anything happened to Jester

[@Deelusi]

Coming right up :)

[@mrosef007]

Don't forget when she threatened all of them if anything would happen to her bathtub for Nott's ritual.

[@BryonYoungblood]

I also love too how Marion talks to Fjord about him protecting Jester, and how he keeps his promise every step of the way he can.

[@quinnsinclair7028]

I was just a little bit hoping Jester would die and we'd get BBEG Marion Lavorre.

*"The Leetle Sapphire is here to see you, ROO-BY!!"*

[@isaiahwelch8066]

This is my favorite line in this animatic. It is so Jester, and I'm all here for it.

[@samuelstensgaard4828]

Jester getting pissed and her voice becoming all demonic is one of my favorite nuances that Laura gives her lol

[@JayOutOfHell]

OMG JESTER TRANSFORMING INTO HERSELF IS SO CUTE!

[@Deelusi]

THE BEST GAL!

[@thestuffeddragon9067]

Jay? Wtf how did i find you here

[@JayOutOfHell]

@@thestuffeddragon9067 diskshjjs hello?!

[@AustinRiggsFire]

"this monk girl... she's really strong" >Beau, having 8 strength

[@thequasipancake4303]

Oh fuck this is so damn cute. The part where her horns and ears come back is especially adorable

[@KoopaSanze]

my chest tightened on that cuteness

[@barianfool5569]

Her transformation was so smooth. It was great

[@boopadoop385]

The way sprinkle just pops up to greet her is such a delight

[@acespades5722]

My headcannon now is that sprinkle was openly using feymagic to pop in out during fights and no one noticed because no suspects the weasel.

[@bombomos]

[@danieldaza2141]

I always tend to forget that Jester was like almost a teen when the campaing started

[@daniellewis1789]

I mean even at the end - the whole campaign only took about a year. Jester just got a lot of life experience quickly.

[@danieldaza2141]

@@daniellewis1789 No no, she got older as a consequense of her wanting to obtain a greater knowledge, Matt even says that she felt like something was taken from her (which is assumed or said to be at least 5 years)

[@maxinesenior596]

Her personality was like a teen. She's noted on the wiki as early to mid twenties, even before the 5 year cost.

[@sleepinghermit7778]

👆Yeah she just lived a weird kind of sheltered life. So she was immature for her age.

[@adoragrayskull]

​@Maxine Senior yes! Beau was actually the youngest, which goes a long way to explain her brazen and immature behavior, but people tend to forget that cause she puts on a front. Jester was just very sheltered and well, happy. So that gives this impression she is younger than was established, but she wasnt almost a teen

[@vietbluecoeur]

One of my favorite moments in the whole campaign! Marion and her interactions with Jester are just such a delight and you captured it perfectly! 🥺❤️✨ What an adorable animatic.

[@Deelusi]

Mine too! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Ambers128]

I'm glad matt kept it so wholesome. Jester had two loving parents.

[@johnroberts719]

Matt's mannerisms while playing Marion are amazing!

[@sturmklinge9642]

Their dynamic is one of my favourites of the campaign. I love how you captured their personalities, Jester is so adorable and Marion truly is the ruby of the sea

[@TransIsBest]

EP. 33 Jester: Careful of Sprinkle! EP. 100 Jester: I take Sprinkle into boiling hot water

[@bradondundas5434]

Sprinkle's been dead for centuries!

[@Superawesomevids549]

I was really worried when I was watching C2 for the first time that Marion was a terrible mother who didn't care for Jester and Jester just couldn't see it. I was so happy when this scene came and my expectations were thrown right out the window.

[@Alexis_Nemesis189]

This is so good! The animation, the timing, the way the disguise spell falls away and suddenly Jester’s horns pop up and she gives a big toothy grin, the way Sprinkle pops up, it’s all so amazing! I love your work!

[@littlespacesuit]

*tiny spoiler below* One of my favorite things in the campaign was when Marion Lavorre met everyone and everyone was super-lovely and kind to her. And then she was like, "One of my patrons is bothering me," and the entire party goes, COWABUNGA IT IS

[@jodah_eternal]

Peace was never an option.

[@crystallxix1493]

[@ExhaustedElox]

I love how much Jester and her mom love each other. They were all the other had for so many years.

[@crowsbridge]

I forgot how early the swamp was compared to the length of the campaign. I haven't quite finished it (E127), and I'm kind of sad that it will be over soon. I enjoyed the Animation!

[@bdletoast09]

"What?! Move on, friend" fkmergjvelkgj I completely forgot about that moment.

[@soggyapples1518]

Oh gosh jester is friggen adorable in every animatic but especially this one.

[@pyrosianheir]

This was super cute. I don't normally think about Jester as that Smol, but it definitely worked here.

[@thecommoncliche5444]

Proof happy backstories are amazing and I'm not crying tears of joy you are

[@ephemispriest8069]

Other guys: I bet I can make her call me daddy. Matthew Mercer: That's nothing. I can make her call me mommy.

[@LeWebslinger]

you are making wonderful strides, and we have the same taste in memorable moments :)

[@sl33pw17h4ng3l5]

I love how you've designed Marion, her horns are beautiful and the off-the-shoulder style suits her eminently!

[@CassieCarryd]

I was really hoping that when she dropped her glamour in front of her mom, she would get her color back, even if it went away after that. Miss the leetle bloo teefling

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Well, I hope this finds you on 17 November 2022, because tonight, Thursday: IT IS THE RETURN OF THE MIGHTY NEIN! And the leetle bloo teefling!

[@sicarianduraznac]

Great animation. Loved the tiny Sprinkle. Marion is such a delightful character.

[@OceanicWarrior]

I love this! Your animations are always a delight to watch after I've had a Day at school!

[@Deelusi]

Glad I could help! :D

[@corumhayes8178]

This was beautifully done! I thought the clavicle lines on Marion were a particularly nice touch.

[@some_Rando_watching]

I just love the right amount of humor and wholesomeness in this scene, you captured it perfectly

[@johnpaulcross424]

Your designs are so adorable, you absolutely nailed this

[@isaiahwelch8066]

If there was ever a relationship between a PC and an NPC that was so good that it needed protecting, it is the relationship of Jester and Marion. Jester is the embodiment of a 10-year-old child telling her mom of all the adventures she has with her imaginary friends -- and I'm all here for it! Edit: Now we need one where Jester and M9 show up at the Evening Nip, where Jester finds out that the "Parent Trap" worked -- where Marion and the Gentlemen get back together, lol.

[@KaraOni13]

I am a puddle of goo, i loved everything about this animatic you made especially how simple and sweet jester’s disguise self spell wore off

[@brianlim9687]

Jester : *recounting her adventures with her mom and just having some much needed quality time The rest of M9 : *angy*, "move along, friend" >:( But seriously tho, i love ur animations. Here's hoping u do some C3 animatics when they come out :D

[@Deelusi]

Me and Numbskull are so excited to do exactly that!!!

[@LightCurlz]

Your art keeps getting better! Love all the face! The perspective on the hall was so subtle and great!

[@Deelusi]

Thank you! It's been a long road and I'm glad y'all here with me 😊❤️

[@WillRayneMC]

How? How is this...how...I can't...where's all this dust coming from? Damn allergies...

[@izzybella3409]

[@samuelstensgaard4828]

Jester's gutteral voice is the funniest fuckin thing

[@leazekrom5538]

This is one of my favorite scene in the campaign, and you did a wonderful job on it!! It’s so cute 🥺❤️

[@Deelusi]

Thank you 💗

[@k4r4k0]

Aah, your movement in storyboard is so lovely - So nice to watch, the way you place characters and the phasing is mwah ~~ really good ! I like your storyboards :> !!

[@roonkolos]

A close friend of mine who's like a brother to me. He got me into this campaign mostly from bringing it up every moment he could XD he never stopped talking about dnd for ages For most of the start I didn't get it and kinda didn't *want* to get it. But he and his sister kept pushing me to get to this part This. If anything, this was worth seeing and to see my favorite scene be animated genuinely brought tears to my eyes. This scene made seeing thjs campaign worth it

[@xCCflierx]

Lol "do you want me to punch you?" Fucking wonderful

[@urquimedes4459]

Awwww this is so sweet. Amazing job! And great song selections!

[@Eszra]

I imagine Jesters mother to be like Jessica Rabbit and Jester is like Mako from Kill la Kill. It works.

[@Direwolf181]

Marion is definitely the CR Jessica Rabbit on terms of hotness and sexyness and of course being a wonderful person Jessica being an amazing wife and Marion an amazing mother (though I have no doubt They would fill other role wonderfully)

[@isaiahwelch8066]

I dunno...Zahra from C1 is definitely right up there, lol.

[@Wargames50]

All of Jester's features popping back up at once made me AHHH ❤️❤️ Loved this!!

[@PattPlays]

He's always here 😧

Bro why was my screen getting blurry when Marion said I want to see my little girl??? My eyes felt wet too wtf

[@alexisprojects]

I'm impressed by how well you isolate the audio.

[@whovianEvaremarks]

I'm not crying you're crying! This scene was perfect the first time I watched it, and you've done an amazing job of capturing this sweet moment

I just made my first happy go lucky character, it's homebrewed everything. It's a Cuisinier (Cooking class) that's a felis (Cat). His name is Sushi and he just loves to share his sushi with everyone. Having a joyful character is an amazing addition to a campaign.

Why her mother so tall in every animation/animatic I sse

[@vietbluecoeur]

Can’t speak for everyone but for me she honestly does radiate tall energy somehow! Just the general feeling of her gives me, personally, the sense of someone who’d stand a little higher above a crowd, catching your eye right away.

[@blackheartthedarklord6428]

If the Mighty Nein had a season, who would be perfect to voice Marion?

[@Deelusi]

The right answer is obviously Matt Mercer. But...I think it would be neat if it's Laura Bailey herself. Because her "mature" voice is quite calming.

[@blackheartthedarklord6428]

@@Deelusi I like the irony in that since she will be Jester's mother. Though in a way, she did created Jester
