- SPOILERS FOR CRITICAL ROLE CAMPAIGN 2!
I already had a lot of Jester+Marion feelings, but this song showing up on Laura Bailey's playlist for them moved me enough to do an animatic! Most of Jester's drawing's "come true" in her adventures!
Also this is my first animatic in, like, 3 years? 4 years? It feels so good to do one again!
Song: come out and play
Artist: Billie Eilish

I cant be the only one that mistook her black lipstick for a mustache and black nails for a small beard from just looking at the tumbnail.
I did and thought "meh, she's a teifling. dwarf women have beards too."
No you were not.
Yes, that's exactly what I did.
Oop-
Oh thank god I'm not the only one
The distilled melancholy happiness of a mother learning courage from a isolated, sheltered daughter who had no choice in being brave and fleeing the nest into a world she was not prepared for. She could do nothing but greet her daughter with the same courage. This makes her the greatest cleric. She doesn’t need spells to heal. Her very presence is a balm. This is beautiful and I love it. Thank you for giving it to the world.
Not that she even uses her spells to heal in the first place, but yeah
Even more relevant now that Marion has actually left the chateau with Jester's encouragement.
This is the longest incantation for "create water" I have ever heard. Anyone else failed their Con saving throw against this?
Raphael Johnson Pretty sure it’s wis, mate.
Barely hit the DC very close to a fail
I roles a nat one, water all over my face 😭😭
Does any have controle water?, I'm crying a river over here
How do you plan to beat a dc 100 con save???
I JUST REALIZED THAT HER DRAWINGS WERE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE SERIES, A CIRCUS TENT, THE SHIP, THE BEES, THE DRAGON
WOAH IM JUST NOTICING THIS
HELLO BEES!
I LOVE IT SO MUCH
"Pirate Jester" as well
this animation goes on the same shelf as "all my friends"
Such a high compliment! I love Elm's animatic sooo much. Thank you!
It’s accurate
oOF
Mood
Don’t make me cry harder!
I never thought about how much and how quickly Jester has matured throughout c2. She's so positive and bubbly that I never considered how scared and alone she must have felt leaving the chateau for what what might have been the first time, suddenly thrust into a world that is so much bigger and more dangerous than what she knew. I'm glad she found Fjord shortly afterwards, I like to think that he started keeping his promise to Marion before it was ever made
I've watched this several times now and it's just so lovely. I struggle with agoraphobia, like The Ruby, and the scenes of Jester stepping into the light to join the world and have adventures... along with the scene of her mother doing the same at the end... absolutely shattered. I cried, that was beautiful. I love that nobody pushes her or punishes her, they all respect her. She took that step out the door on her own.
Thank you! I love that Marion has been able to move at her own pace. It's really heartwarming to see her get strength from Jester. :')
God fucking same.
When I got to catch up and watch that scene, Matt nailed it. The anxious feelings of stepping out the door. I loved it, I love that she isn't depicted like she's crazy? So many times in media agoraphobics are considered 'eccentric' spinsters or widows.
The Ruby is anything but that. She's a mom that raised her daughter weel, she's sexy, she's wealthy and powerful. I hope we get to see more of her.
This Animatic hit me right in teh feels.
@@BrennaDraws It was lovely to see. I cried when I watched it in the episode; Laura/Jester's surprise at her mother's sudden courage, and Marion's nervous determination to cross this one threshold as a mirror to the courage she has witnessed her daughter embody. It was one of my favourite moments in the campaign so far, all the more loved because it was so quiet and unspectacular.
Im sure you will take your steps on your own too 😊
Is it bad that I wanted the Mighty Nein to ask Jester about her mamá's caution going outdoors. I'm sure they probably already had a hint.
The little detail of making Jester left-handed like Laura is so so so perfect, man I'm literally crying at how good this is
Oh my god
I didn't even notice
Although she is wearing her shield on her left arm when the Traveler gives her just a little help against the Dragon in The Happy Fun Ball™.
Has anyone tweeted this to Laura yet? I bet she'd love this!!
That would be awesome to have her reaction.
So has anyone?
Tweeted to The Bailey!
Ngl, when it showed Jester running to the Mighty Nein, I teared up a little.
-cries in infernal-
-wails in abyssal-
- weeps in underdark -
-bawls in celestial-
--Whimpers in under common--
-sobs in deep speech-
It's crazy how a group of characters can shape us, and I will admit, Cad and Jester have shaped me more than real people in my life. Their outlooks and ideals are something that just rings so true within me. I could never of predicted the way these two clerics changed me, just as their players have. This video is beautiful and just reminds me of it everytime I see it. Thank you for this gift of a video
This song became such an important song to me because of this video. That realisation that The Ruby was agoraphobic and it was portrayed in the series tastfully. Then this video and song combination.
So much so that I almost burst into tears when I heard it on the radio once. I have agoraphobia and rarely go out along, that time it came on the radio was one of the few times I was out by self. Took alot not to cry happy tears.
OH NO OH NO MY HEART!!!
The direct parallels between the drawings and the scenes and then the very end showing the drawing of jester and her mom again oh my god that broke my heart hhhhh!!!!
My favorite thing to do was trying to figure out what poses I could repeat and make a motif out of. :') Thank you
I’M NOT CRYING YOU ARE!!!! SHUT UP!
Can I just say how happy this makes me? You start off with Jester having the strength to leave home and explore the world, and end with Marion fighting her agoraphobia to say goodbye to her little girl!!!!! AGHHH MY HEART
Thank you! And that's exactly the story i was trying to tell! I love these two so much
I love that Jester's childhood is a big part of her story and that fans draw it so well
Please tell me I'm not the only one that cried..
I cried a bunch while drawing it. You're not alone, I promise haha
@@jaycer4338 That's so cute omg. Thank you so much for creating this ❤️❤️ it's beautiful.
Bawled
No no... Still wiping my eyes over this.
I cried.
1:54 just really makes me cry. I have really bad social anxiety and I'm so used to being alone that I don't realize how great it is to step out and be with people I love and who I'm comfortable around. I just really relate to Jester, and a lot of the time I feel like i'm a child and everyone has passed me by. This is just very emotional and beautiful and I love it. And I love this song by Billie. I try to remember that it's worth it
That's my favorite part! I love how Jester has found a group of people who love her so much and are helping her grow into an even more amazing person (honestly the whole sequence where she has moments with each M9 member was my favorite to draw and animate). It's hard to get out there, but it's definitely worth it.
@@jaycer4338 Yes, beautifully said! And the snapshots of her journey and the moments with her friends really are so powerful. I love the scenes you chose. The jellyfish one always resonated with me because of what Jester said: "Sometimes the things that are the most beautiful are the things that can hurt the most."
the way both jester and her mother look up to each other makes me happy and i can't explain why
*claps hands between each word* oh my GOD i have been WAITING FOR THIS BEAUTY FOR SO LONG and BOY IS IT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IM CRYING A LITTLE BIT. dont even get me started on how many HECKING FLATS there are here you know what i know exactly how it feels im so proud of you this is AMAZING. the floaty way all the stills are constantly moving fit PERFECTLY with the music and the little bits of animation with key frames were 👌👌👌 ah may ZING. GORGEOUS. ICONIC. the subtle shifts in facial expression and body language are so indicative of marion and jesters love for each other and hhhhhh i can FEEL the motherly embrace. this gave me so many warm feelings and thats mostly due to the brilliantly constructed narrative and that underlying feeling of jester's coming of age story and thats So. Good. so well done. im running out of positive adjective but its all of them trust me. when the music picks up and the visuals also get faster love the pacing so much it works SO WELL. i love this i cant even BEGIN to describe it.
I'm crying at this comment, oh my gosh. Thank you so much! I really wanted to do their relationship justice, they're both such amazing characters. ;_;/
Great comment but y did u make me mentally clap all the claps
I loved both of your critical role music
I did clap at each single word, and I have to say, that took some time X3.
!!! This is so great! From Jester’s childhood drawings, to having to flee her hometown, to leaving again with her friends, the whole animatic hikghkighting the mother daughter relationship! I love it!
Thank you! I can't wait for her actual arc - like she's already got me messed up NOW. I dunno what to expect for Travelercon.
My gods, this was just so sweet and pure. Loved it
what this is: gentle, melancholy, sweet
what i expected: *HEEEEEEYYY COME OUT AND PLAY* ^punk ass guitar riff^
Marion's mouth in the thumbail looks like a mustache...and now I can't unsee it..
(Amazing video, nonetheless though!! The animation is flawless!)
When that first big “come out and play” dropped and it was her with the M9 I had to pause it I was crying so hard haha. This was beautiful. I really felt the love and care.
BEAUTIFUL GOOD YES THANK YOU NOMINATED FOR ALL OF THE AWARDS YES VERY GOOD NICE AND BEAUTIFUL YES GOOD
This shook me to my core. Thank you. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this.
This is SUCH a beautiful video!! I teared up when I saw The Traveler saving Jester! And it continue the rest of the video! This is amazing and I love it!! Please make more videos like this!!!!!!
this is so gorgeous!!
THIS IS SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO GOOD
has laura seen this???? SHE NEEDS TO SEE THIS holy shit
oh man you did such a good job! it's so expressive and moving and the visual language is amazing. you picked just the right moments at the just the right time. really amazingly well done! i hope laura sees this! serriously, the cast would LOVE this so much.
Thank you! Timing is my favorite part to do, and I just LOVE Jester. I can't wait for Travelercon when she's front and center!
@@jaycer4338 Jester is like my #1 favorite character, because she is a hilarious prankster.
And I can't wait for her full story arch
sweat dad story arch will be interesting
uh ok well i didn’t plan on crying today but i teared up halfway through this and by the end i was a mess, this is so so beautifully done and i absolutely love that you flipped the script at the end - marion, who was always jester’s teacher and caretaker and this figure of strength and authority in her life, learns from jester instead. she sees how much she’s grown and learned on her journey and overcomes her own fears to continue to be with her daughter even if only for a moment and i’m crying again thanks
Totally exactly what I was going for! I love how excited Jester is in the show to tell her mom about all the exciting things she's done with the M9 (after Marion has told her how scary the world is). Thank you for watching and commenting
So beautiful. Both my mom and I are Critters and the relationship between Jester and her mother and the whole theme of learning to let your grown children go and have their own adventures is one that deeply speaks to both of us at the moment (I am about to move across the country from her). This video captures all of our bittersweet feelings on the subject and how we’ve felt watching Jess and her mom interact in the series so incredibly beautifully. Thank you ❤️ And many thanks sent through the magic of the internet to Laura and Matt for making that part of the story so impactful and real 😊❤️ beautiful work done by all 👏🏻
Congratulations on moving out, I'm doing that soon too. Thank you for commenting
Jayce R Thanks for replying! It’s truly a beautiful song and a beautiful animated work, and good luck with your move! It’s a bit difficult for the first two weeks or so, but it gets easier and this song just captures all the emotions so completely. ❤️❤️ well done again 😊👏🏻
And I'm bawling. Full on tears
Same
**SPOILERS**
I love how the line "don't hide" started out as Marion telling her daughter to leave the city instead of hiding in the tower from her rich, angry client, but then it turns into Jester telling her mama not to hide away from the world and to come with her to find Jester's father. That really got me.
Beautiful work! The change at 1:56 is really powerful. Also the way you showed the tenderness between Marion and Jester is great!
I think this is the first time I have seen the Blue Dragon scene animated where the traveler moved Jesters shield in her moment of need
yes i am crying, thank you for making such an amazing animatic that brings me so much joy
The current campaign, I’m playing as a pirate taken in by a tiefgling warrior woman who looks a lot like the Ruby of the sea. This hit too dang hard for me.
I'm not crying, I just caught something in my eyes. I'm talking about tears: I caught tears
this actually gives me an idea for decoration.. if I ever have a family, I want to set up the lower half of the hallway walls for the kids to draw pictures on
Same
OHH MY HEART. This is beautiful, I'm so happy to finally get to see the final product. I adore this
Omf the thing that got me was the comparison of the bees drawing and the “hello bees!” scene with caduceus. Now I’m crying and I love this so much
Oh I cried, you got me at the end there. I was fine until the very last second. Now the tears they are a flowin.
For me, this captures Jester's struggle so accurately. Thank you for making this. It's beautiful.
I have been listening to this for almost weeks and I still love it
This animatic was what convinced me to get into critical role about a year ago or so. thank you so much, and I really admire the love you put into this!!!thank you for introducing me to CR
God, I've watched this a hundred times, and I'm still impressed by how official your jester beau and caleb look in particular. I could totally see those designs in an avatar style tv show. I can picture them moving and everything
I straight up cried with the feels for this sweet little animation! Sooo love it. 😂😂
Oh man I just watched and it made me fucking cry this is AMAZING
Thank you so much for making this It's beautiful and so moving
Thank you for commenting! I loved working on this so much. The Lavorres are such a great family.
I just keep rewatching this. It’s so beautiful. I also didn’t realize that the little panels she drew are basically what happens in her adventures with the Mighty Nein. BRB, gotta cry
Y'know I remember seeing the WIP of this on tumblr a while back and not gonna lie, I teared up. But watching this in it's entirety...I'm bawling. Especially when Marion stepped out to say goodbye to Jester. My tears may have also increased every time there was a shot of Jester and one of the M9. Thank you for making this, even if I can barely see through my tears now
Thanks for watching the final piece! It was so fun to work on.
It is January 4, 2022 and the story of The Mighty Nein and Jester Lavorre have closed with their story lines wrapped up. But watching this video brought tears to my eyes and I cried tears of joy as I remembered their adventures. Excellent pairing of the music of Billie Ellish and your beautiful cinematic scenes. Thank you from my heart.
my god. absolutely beautiful
I have to say I watched this maybe a month or two after you first posted. I come back to it every now and again and I must end up clicking on it once or twice a month. Its one of the most beautiful CR related pieces of art I've seen. So i guess I wanted to say thank you! For creating something so beautiful and sharing it with us all!
How to make me cry in 3 and a half minutes . . . ugh this is so good!
this beautiful piece of art honestly just reminded me of how much crit role helped me out through my tough times and just made me cry my eyeballs out at the beautiful story. it’s gorgeous my dear, and i love it so much. thank you for putting this out into the worldz
I wasmt sure if it was on purpose but did you make the stranger look like matt mercer? Cause thats what he looked like
I didn't purposely try to make him look like Matt Mercer, it just kinda happened and I never made an effort to change it!
@@jaycer4338 well just so you know, you did an amazing job the song fits perfectly and i almost cried, so thanks for that and have a good one
You mean the Traveller.
@@patricklyons794yah thats the guy!
That little moment when The Ruby didn't want to leave her house... You animated that so well. Bravo to you. Thats such a touching moment.
absolutely stunning art and visuals. a beautiful and deeply moving tribute to a truly incredible character. thank you so much
HOW DID I MISS THIS BEAUTY FOR 5 WHOLE DAYS WHEN 50% OF WHAT I WATCH IS CRITICAL ROLE RELATED. FRIIIIICK. OMFG I HAVE BEEN BLESSED.
This is just incredible. Every part of it was so powerful, sweet, and perfect.
you have no business making me cry in the morning like this! (It's absolutely beautiful)
This was beautiful, I couldn't help but cry. Thank you so much for creating this.
This makes me cry every time I watch it. Thank you for making such a lovely video
oh gosh, this is so masterfully done and I am crying! thank you. I hadnt realized how wonderful this song is for jester until seeing it this way
So beautiful, made me get all teary eyed. 😪 great job. Hope you make more!
I keep coming back to this. Just wanted to say thanks for making it, it's good stuff.

This is so beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for creating such a gorgeous animation.
absolutely adore and love this animation! pulled at my heart strings and made me smile. I love how great the Critter Community is!
This randomly came on my tv and I was in tears the whole time. I love this so much. Thank you for taking the time to make this
This is what made me start watching CR so THANK YOU
Oh that makes me so happy you started watching CR!!!
I’M NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING.
In all seriousness, though, this is incredible. It’s so beautiful, and it just touched my heart in ways I hadn’t realized something like this could. Someone needs to Tweet this to Laura STAT.
I'm sobbing this is so beautifully done and heartfelt ah the ending just made me cry! I'm so glad you finished this and that you didn't lose your files it looks amazing! Well worth the wait
I just love this AMV sooo much and just have to watch it every other day! Thank You!
oh, i absolutely burst into tears
your art is so beautiful and emotive!
omg this is such a beautiful animatic
This is so beautiful. You did an amazing job at capturing Jester’s story!
I've been watching this every few episodes of the show and as I learn more and more about Jester it makes me feel more and more. And I just got to the scene that this animatic ends on and ahhh. Like I literally just cried while rewatching it again. This is my favorite CR animatic ever and it makes me feel so many things and I thank you so much for making it.
This made me cry I love it SO much it’s so beautiful thank you so much for sharing it with us!! It’s so well done too!!!
This is beautiful beyond words. A journey of emotion with still more to find. My compliments.
Man, you did just a good job that even when I'm just listening to this song I get the feels because it reminds me of you animation, this is too good.
Wow! Goosebumps and in tears over this. Absolutely love it. Thank you for this.
Beautiful beyond words ❤️ thank you for this
This is so rediculously good, i'm legit crying rn. Thank you for this wonderful video
This was amazing, beautiful, wonderful, all the good things :') Thank you for making this! I loved the last bit especially, both the bits of Jester with all of the M9s, and then the last bit where Marion came along. Its so nice :)
Wow. Just wow. The animation is truly amazing, and it works so well with that song, you did a really good job! Thank you so much for sharing it with us, it made me very emotional and made me love these two even more
*rubs eyes* I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING
Just wanted to say, I hadn’t listened to the Spotify character playlists before, and when this song came up I a) immediately started crying and b) knew the song off by heart because I watched this video so many damn times 😂
this is SO GORGEOUS and the movement is so dynamic i'm absolutely in love
This made me so happy and yet I’m sitting here crying. It’s so so so beautifully done and I think I’m going to single-handedly contribute a thousand views. IM STILL CRYING THIS IS TOO PERFECT THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
I remember seeing this a while ago and thinking it was a really cool idea, and then just recently I stumbled upon the actual D&D campaign its just like WOAH now that I understand all the stuff thats happening
Oh my god I'm actually crying... this is so wonderfully done!!!!!! Have to watch it 80 more times now
this whole video is so beautiful and this song, its the first time ive heard it but it speaks to me on such a deep level. ive had it on repeat for an hour
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL T_T Love it, cried, the music and images were so wonderful. I could really feel the love between Jester and Marion
Watching this after catching up and getting context is 1000× better. The art and music has always been great, but now it just has so much more of an emotional umph to it.
