mighty nein people, rb with what you’re most excited to see in the animated series :)
wait wait wait guys have you ever thought about how the Mighty Nein are everything they shouldn’t be upon first glance
no no guys guys listen to me they’re all the antithesis of what they’re meant to be and that’s why they’re such amazing and heartfelt characters
like, Caleb is a wizard who’s afraid of his own fire magic. his own power causes him to falter in battle. his strongest spells are his most dangerous to himself. wizards are supposed to be prideful of their magic, but Caleb’s is the reason he hates himself
Beau is a monk who never wanted to be. her job is one that people normally associate with being calm and collected and Beau was a wild rebellious kid who got dragged into this line of work against her will. she never wanted to be this!! but now she is and she’s gotta deal with it!!
Fjord is a warlock who never wanted power from his pact, which is why you’d think a warlock would make their pact at all. but no. Fjord made his pact because he wanted to live, not because he wanted power. he was a scared orphan who hated his tusks, not a buff, muscled, angry half-orc like people assumed
Nott is NOT, that’s the whole crux of her narrative! she wasn’t pretty, like a halfling girl was supposed to be. she wasn’t a goblin, she was just transformed into one. and not only that, but despite being a three-foot-tall alcoholic kleptomaniac, she’s the mom of the group!
Jester is a Cleric whose god isn’t actually a god and who would much rather bash bad guys over the head with her lollipop than have to stop and heal her friends!! she’s a bubbly, optimistic ray-of-sunshine, but you know when she says she’s gonna change the world with friendship she means it as a threat
Mollymauk is an amnesiac, but he doesn’t want to remember who he was. if you ask him, that wasn’t him! he might be a flirtatious hedonistic carnie, but he’s also single-mindedly devoted to making the world a better and more loved place than it was when he found it. he’s a liar, but he means well. he’s an arrogant fool, yes, but he’s right! he did it! he left it better!
Caduceus seems like he’d be creepy and grim from growing up in a graveyard, but he’s actually the most chill out of the entire Nein by far. he’s calm, he’s sweet, and he’s comforting, more than anything else. you’d think he’d be amazed by seeing the outside world for the first time, but he spends the whole time knowing that one day he’ll return home, that he wasn’t supposed to be the one to leave
Yasha is a barbarian with skeletal wings and a dramatic, monochromatic look, but she’s a complete sweetheart. she’s Molly’s best friend, she was a carnival bouncer, she’s a lesbian disaster who collects pressed flowers in a book out of love for the wife she lost. those black wings were actually hiding soft white feathers
Essek was born straight into the den of politics, he was a spymaster, he literally started a war for his own gain, and yet. he’s sounds irredeemable on paper, but. he’s not!! sure, the Nein kind of have to drag his alignment kicking and screaming into neutral, but they manage it. Essek learns and grows and he overcomes his nature. he becomes good, against all odds
guys guys guys don’t you see it!! look at them!!they’re such compelling characters!! they’re everything they’re not supposed to be!! dude y’all how didn’t I realize this earlier!! they subvert their narratives in the most interesting ways ever and I justhshsbhshshsjnsmshsnhsfn!!
Guys,
I have just learned that Marion means star of the sea.
What a big brain
a little watercolor fjord meeting uk'otoa (uk'otoa, uk'otoa) from a bit ago
" It kind of feels different than I thought it would after all of the books that I read, you know? "
When I first saw Fjord's new character art in the most Critical Role Mighty Nein Renion, my first thought was: "OH MY GOD, IT'S OSKAR!"
Power of friendship...
Thinking about Asmodeus being reborn as Jester and Fjord's kid. A red skinned tiefling who everyone says takes after his grandmother.
Asmodeus totally having all the plans to regain his powers and destroy all the prime deities. But... well no plan survives contact with Jester.
Him delaying plans just because... what in the hells is she going to do next... he kinda wants to find out.
Jester being the most loving and chaotic parent. Because of course Jester would 1000% still go off on adventures bringing the baby along. Him just watching the pure chaos and expert trickery.
Having Fjord as a dad who is the most caring and excited dad, and trying to balance out Jester's insanity 'No Jester we cannot take the baby to the fae realm I know Beau is opening a new Beau bar but we also shouldn't be taking a baby to a bar opening'. Also who was in a deal with darkness but found his way out.
Him just being along with the mighty nein as extended family who are all chaotic and loving and not what he's used to with adventures he's dealt with. He's stuck with emotions for them and he hates it.
First time he pulls tricks and lies Jester just hugs him she's so proud of him and so his uncle Artie. His trickery and lies becoming far more Jester adjacent.
Also him pulling pranks just to freak Braius out when he visits
Bonus: Beau and Yasha end up unknowingly adopting one of the other gods and the first time Asmodeus and the other see each other it just being that always sunny scene in the restaurant. (Neither saying anything or blowing cover because they like this family not that either will ever admit this)
Not sure about Cad,but by the gods these are all fucking accurate
I got bored so I put the m9 into the random headcanon generator
They crave violence
I finished them all!
