"I killed my whole family, I'll throw you under a bridge" | Critical Role C2E68 Highlight

Pjoor Fjord

[@Undomaranel]

Well, Fjord did chase her for awhile in nothing but a towel, did that mind charming truth thing with Molly, not flirting right with all the lady types Nott sees for him (including Jester), sailing over water for an arc, having to go under the ocean repeatedly for his deity, not being allowed to cannon whenever she wanted thanks to her captain, and his general gruff masculine proving of himself... Nah. No idea why Nott thinks that about Silent J.

[@toatahu2003]

[@Mitochondribruh]

Toa Tahu remember when Fjord wrote off Nott’s extremely valid fear of water and proceeded to make fun of her collections????? That’s why Nott sees Fjord as mean (Also Travis called Nott expendable at one point, and Sam probably got that confused with in-game, resulting in Nott getting angrier with Fjord)

[@deffdefying4803]
