the mighty nein | love makes people

"Pain doesnt make people. It's love that makes people. The pain is inconsequential. It's love that saves them." ~ Caduceus Clay, Campaign 2

[@isaiahwelch8066]

My other favorite part of this video: *Yasha:* I feel like it's just...to protect. *Fjord:* To stay with my friends. To see what happens. To watch over you. *Trent Ikithon:* Especially you, Bren. *Jester:* I stand in front of Caleb. I don't know why, but I cry, hearing that. As if my heart, my soul, wants so desperately to have those kinds of friends. And while I have friends, I cannot say any of them would willingly stand between me and a threat to me, the way Jester, without hesitation, with no thought, puts herself between Caleb and Trent. I don't care who says what...but that, _THAT,_ is the true definition of "friend." One which embodies a Bible verse I think of, from time to time, regardless of whether you may be religious or not: No man has greater love than this, than he who would lay down his life for his friends. ~ John 15:13 That, to me, is the very embodiment of the Mighty Nein -- exactly as Nott later says: "The only consistent choice we've ever made, is to take care of our friends."

"Specially you Bren" God the mighty nein, beaten and bloody, still standing with Caleb and being protective.

My favorite part? Jester: I stand in front of Caleb. Literally, putting herself between a extremely powerful wizard and someone she cares about, no matter the risk. It's that kind of loyalty that make me love Jester in Campaign 2 even more.

crying sobbing screaming on the floor this deserves so much more love it’s amazing and i’m crying never going to be okay again. perfect.

Oh my gosh this brought so on much emotion 😭 I felt like crying. Critical Role is truly something special. It highlights people and characters in such an interesting way. It shows them at their best and their worse. There can be various people, so different, all with their own goals and issues that they’re going through- a bunch of jagged mismatched pieces. But somehow they all can come together to make something beautiful. Critical Role continuously makes beautiful found families. Again and again. First in Vox Machina. Then The Mighty Nein. And now the Bells Hells. It was so lovely to see that beauty displayed in such a great way 💜💜

Me before watching: this is gonna make me cry isn't it? Me now: ow. Ow ow ow. Ow. I was right. Ow.

[@pinkjaguar12]

Is is Thursday yet?

[@tehlime]

Aaaaa this is so perfect! The clip choice, the audio editing - this is everything I wanted after the campaign. Thank you for so beautifully capturing the love and joy of the Might Nein!

[@bffclalallaenady]

thank you so much!

[@caseym.2430]

Oh my god this must have been such a trial to make but what a beautiful end result. Thank you so much for sharing

[@bffclalallaenady]

thank you so much!! it's kinda hard to edit critical role in general! but it's worth it

“This is what we do”

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Wow...I've not made it through C2 yet, and that emotion between Jester and Fjord about Jester being afraid of letting go...hit home. Honestly, this reminds me of everything I ever saw in Fast and the Furious, about family. About friends. About protecting those you love and care about. And the same could be said of why I'm a Browncoat...of why I love Firefly so gorram much. Even though I'm feeling it just a wee bit, thank you for making this. For some unexplainable reason, I needed this. Today. Here. Now. What a journey we've taken What a journey it's been We've gathered as friends And we turned into kin Raise a glass to your brother Raise a glass to your sister Raise a glass to your lover Raise a glass to the Nein ~ Lyrics from "What a Journey" by Megami

coming back to the mighty nein after watching the start of campaign 3 makes me feel some emotions (thank you for this wonderful edit)

[@bffclalallaenady]

thank you so much! I miss them already

[@AzureHart]

This was beautifully done! Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@snowblind4062]

Been looking for this edit for over a year

[@lisanuss6827]

It's clear that you put a lot of effort into this and I really love the concept of the video, but as honest feedback I'll have the say the audio balance between the song and the clips does not work for me at all. Because the singing is as loud as the cast speaking (if not louder), it's next to impossible for me to make out most of what they say, even though I'm familiar with the source content. It lead to so much strain in my ears (which automatically try to make out the spoken words) that I had to stop watching the video multiple times and eventually stopped at the one minute mark. Later I tried to watch it all with lower volume to be able to experience the whole video, which showed me that this issue is most prevalent during the first minute, just beyond the one minute mark, closely around the two minute mark, and between 3:15 and 3:40 Now the video is already well over a year old, but I just wanted to let you know just in case you are still looking for (hopefully) constructive criticism! Keep up the good work, because I really love everything else about the edit!
