“You had to sign language interpret ‘Vegemite a drop-bear to death’”
Having the inconceivable opportunity to watch this group of nerdy-ass voice actors messing around and rolling dice, live in Sydney, was an experience like nothing else! A night full of so much laughter and celebration, full of drop-bears, and crowd surfing crocodiles, and dick jokes, and an ever-present buzz of excitement and love and passion.
I don’t have the words to describe the magic that was the Sydney Live Show, nor how surreal it was to be in the room where it happened, watching such a wonderfully chaotic story unfold, surrounded by thousands of people just like me. To suddenly be thrust into this microcosm of fans who understand every niche, specific reference, and share others in return. Who trade trinkets, offer compliments, and know some parts of you completely and wholeheartedly without ever having met you. United by this lifeblood of stories that runs through our veins- in some cases a black ichor, in others a twisting tapestry of vines, in others all pink and sparkly and sweet.
There is something so special about CR that pervades words. It is something so potent and beautiful and powerful. Maybe it’s our humanity. It’s given people connection, and love, and laughter, and heartache, and hope. Critical Role has made a community around being human, and telling stories. Gods, what a ridiculous, incredible thing they’ve done.
These days were some of the best of my life. Truly, filled with more joy and purpose and love and meaning than I thought possible for my life to contain.
What a magical whirlwind of a week. What a family I have found myself in. To Critical Role and the wonderful community surrounding them, how unimaginably, inexplicably grateful I am to you all for it. Happy 10 years, Critical Role. Here’s to the next 10 ♥
