It's very clear he likes his whole team more than he likes Avantika; I think he decided if he didn't pretend to be enamored, he'd give himself away; so seduced her to keep up the act after she got flirty. (still, I hate that he did that; I'm Fjord x Jester)
God, I envy Matthew Mercer and his wealth of goodness and talent, but I especially envy that he can so easily exude the raw sexuality of nekkid elven rogue ladies. Ain't no class for that, kids.
Sexuality isn't that difficult. It's all about blending the soft with the hard: the delicate touch of your voice, your gestures, and the vocabulary you choose, with the strength of confidence. Look at how Avantika is both vulnerable and yet authoritative, seemingly playing with Fjord. She is confident in her strength, her command of herself and others, and has no shame for who she is. She doesn't care that Fjord sees her naked, because she knows it's nothing to be ashamed of, and because she's confident that she looks good, and because she's flying on the exhilaration of her new power (and maybe because she wants to rub that new power in his face).
Fuck, that means he has the energy to do as he wishes for as long as he likes, provided all parties involved can endure as wel- Why am I trying to over explain “he can fuck for a long time”?
His wife's character got into a romantic relationship with another character that was not his in the previous campaign, and he was supportive of it. Why would the other way around be any different? Especially since the two of them are actors.
@@piercingmoon24 Fair point, but we need to look at the context. Vox Machina: Vex was willing to pursue a romantic relationship while Grog just wanted prostitutes. And Laura's dirty mind playing Vex would lead to hilarity that Travis enjoyed. Mighty Nein: Laura announced that her character would purposely romance Travis's, which she has been doing. Travis, however, had Fjord kiss Jester with the Breath of Life and sleep with Avantika in the same session when Laura was gone. So he effectively teased her then crushed her hopes and dreams. Also, Percy was a PC and friend while Avantika is an NPC who could go either way. It's nothing serious but it is definitely going to be annoying from Laura's point of view. Hence, the couch.
The thing is not so much that she's his wife, and he's fantasy game banging someone else. Because there was not only the brothels and sprite for Grog, but also Vex hooking up with Percy. It's different because Laura actually ships Jester and Fjord. It's like when Fjord kisses Jester and you see the happily shocked Laura's face. I mean she got the real deal a long time ago. She won over Travis, dated and wed him and bore his child. But she still got giddy over Fjord kissing Jester. Similarly it isn't nerves of his character hooking up with someone else because of his wife, it's because of going against her shipping. Like for example if he were playing a different character during that scene or another similar one, it wouldn't matter one little bit.
We also forget when Laura got upset at Travis for harming Trinket some time ago. But again, we also forget that at this time, Laura was more of an emotional, hormonal woman due to being pregnant and having a baby. Travis loves his wife and doesn't want to do anything that might upset her during a sensitive moment of her life.

I've seen all kinds of comments about how jester's gonna be destroyed emotionally when she finds out fjord and avantica slept together, but she literally grew up as the daughter of a very well-established courtesan. She knows that sex doesn't equal love, but while I wouldn't place my bets on Jester being heartbroken I definitely think she's gonna be jealous as all hell and try to one-up Avantica somehow, which is gonna be a trip no matter what
It's Ya Boi I disagree. While it's true that her mother and her childhood taught her that sex doesn't equal love, think back to the whole thing when she was describing the Gentleman to her mother. She sent that message to the Gentleman and someone said "you know that message probably interrupted a threesome." Someone replied that it probably wouldn't bother her mom but Jester said "Yeah, but I wanted him to be true to her forever." Say what you want, but for all her exposure and experiences, Jester is still very much in love with the idea of being love and has a fairy tail heart; knowing that Fjord kissed her and then plowed Avantika is going to hurt her quite a bit.

Considering the whole “limitless endurance” thing that all half orcs supposedly have, I imagine it would sound a bit more like thousands of ham sandwiches being swiftly and rhythmically disassembled. If you’re wondering, the sound is “flap slap” I checked
@@TheCorrodedMan Relentless Endurance, and you can only use it once per long rest But I have a feeling that after that night, Fjord needed a L O N G-ass rest
I mean, sure. Fjord's entire arc is about shedding toxic traits he believes make him more masculine, and one such trait is his somewhat adolescent understanding of sex and relationships, and framing it as a transaction on Avantica's part drives the point home that this was, as Cad says, a bad decision.
So we're ignoring that she had a romance with another PC in the previous campaign? Not some random NPC, another player whome was not her husband. Hypocrites, all of you.
@@cameronferris2614 If Ethan was _serious_ then, yes, that would be hypocritical. His statement was inherently ironic, however, and therefore is not necessarily subject to hypocrisy.
If we think about it, its the last card Fjord could’ve played to gain her trust. After lying to her twice, she might’ve had some doubts with the group, making their plan to walk away that much harder. With this, they may have a bigger window of escape.
@BookwormPunk For me it's not even that I ship them, though I do, it's just Avantika is literally crazy. Especially if a child is conceived of this union she might take it for some deeper meaning and hound you to the ends of the earth if you run off.
Would be also great if Vandren being fond of Fjord, as they sank Vandren exchanging his life for Fjords. And that is how he became the servant of Uk'ouota.

That being said, I absolutely would love for Tal to appear as a regular guest or whatever on the Critical Recap & simply give us an insight into how Molly would've reacted to key moments had he not died. Like, for example, obtaining the Mist/Mistake; Fjord's Patron becoming known; Becoming (reluctant) Pirates; Beau & Keg's "1 Night Stand"; Beau wanting to get a back/neck tattoo in honor of Molly. Oh, and most of all, Jester & Nott's own "Hospital Excursion" when they went to the Temple of Bahamut & barely made it out.

So.. In my authors eye, I wonder if Avantika was genuinely lonely, putting on a brave face, or just using Fjord the whole time. It'd have been interesting if Tsundere Avantika was looking for a companion of Uka'toa, but didnt let on and played it all "business partners".
@@Museofmemory he did, for their first or second Halloween episode. That's probably what made me think of Geralt. I need to go play that game again now.
I feel like Jester is gonna go one of two ways. She is either going to be super sad and perhaps want time away from Fjord Or she is going to get angry and try to sleep with Caleb or something ludicrous. Also I think that would just be hilarious to watch Caleb react to that.

Melik565 yeah, bless him but it was kind of a massive brain fart on Travis’ part to not think of the eye on his falchion first before the one he ATE lmao
I blame Caleb for stopping him! #JusticeForFjord #LockHimUp
That's what happens when you hesitate.
@@Idofphoenix I did too until I realized Matt gave both Fjord and Cap. Avantika equal chance to get to the lock once they both swam down. Like they kept saying...one damn dice roll.
i come back here a lot and often for 7:08 to 7:13 -- the transition from DM to NPC is magic to behold up close
09:00 This went full 'Hans Landa - Dairy Farmer' in an instant.
I don't understand this reference, bit I feel compelled to learn
Aaron Anderson the opening scene of Inglorious Bastards, a Tarantino movie from a while back. Definitely worth a watch, the clip is on UA-cam, if you’re at all interested in writing, screenwriting, acting, directing, and filmmaking. It’s the role that earned Christoph Waltz his first Oscar
@@argella1300 Oh! Ive seen that movie. My girl puts it on when she goes to bed. Its been a while though...great scene from a great movie.
Aaron Anderson That’s one hell of a movie to fall asleep to 🤣
@@argella1300 that or green mile, or titanic or fried green tomatoes. Lol
Matt pulls that Dante off nicely
"it's just the sound of fish slapping against each other" i love sam
14:36 the Caduceus stare is my new favorite everything
THE EDITING IN THIS IS SUPREME
Flirting with the DM whilst his wife is watching on... ballsy
Fjord: ...
Caduceus: ...

Best fucking PC RPing I've ever seen
I just want you to know I’ll never forgive you for this title
So.. In my authors eye, I wonder if Avantika was genuinely lonely, putting on a brave face, or just using Fjord the whole time. It'd have been interesting if Tsundere Avantika was looking for a companion of Uka'toa, but didnt let on and played it all "business partners".
11:06 they say a look is worth a thousand words, and Travis’ says a whole lot 😂
I am worried for Fjord the day Jester finds out.
The next morning you mean. She will smell his fear.
And that's how Fjord died 😄
He will never reach the second temple.
12:19 hearing why they all laughed. Love you Dani Carr
what did dani do? such a late comment but i wanna know
colleen fisher Haha Its fine, dani laughed so loud in the background, you have to listen to it quite closely on that tagged time
10:42 that look was just basically "So, I'm going to sleep with your husband. That OK?"
Matt's hair and Liam's facial mark me think that they did Halloween together as Geralt and Ciri.
marcusclaudius266 Matt was Dante.
Liam was Kylo. Although he took off his costume during break
But that would have probably been better.
I believe Matt already did Geralt a previous year
@@Museofmemory he did, for their first or second Halloween episode. That's probably what made me think of Geralt. I need to go play that game again now.
I love that everyone is watching intensely meanwhile Liam is just laying head first on the fucking table.
"The reason I have this dozen scars I carry" and Fjord later that night got the chance of seeing all of them close up.
I really REALLY wish Laura was there, just so we could've gotten the Jester reactions live. XD
I love that Travis is so nervous. And poor jester.
I was expecting to hear a *boom* from one of the quarters.
Because when jester finds out she is going to... oh boyyyy.
I like how matt was so comfortable with it, until travis went for it and he became flustered as well :D
This moment always reminds me of; “I have beat Laura to dnd boning Travis’ dnd character”
Which one is that from?
@@justaghostintheseait’s three years later and I do not remember, I think Brian might have said it in a talks machina but I have no idea tbh
@@jamesscott7215 Thanks anyways
"sleep well with your bad decisions" 😂😂😂
Why is my man Mercer looken like dante the demon killer
Everyone else removed their costumes, xD I had a similar reaction to Sam
"I'm never going to do that in a game" -the man who literally did that with Scanlan and Grog in like episode 2 of the first campaign.
Marisha is all of us at 11:43
I feel like Jester is gonna go one of two ways.
She is either going to be super sad and perhaps want time away from Fjord
Or she is going to get angry and try to sleep with Caleb or something ludicrous.
Also I think that would just be hilarious to watch Caleb react to that.
The first one would be sad and possibly have a heartwarming "awwww" resolution
the second one is straight laughs
either way we all win
@@cyanic3148 I just really want to see Liam playing through Caleb being seduced by Jester. His confusion would be hilarious.
@@perrycarters3113 Yeah
I already loved his reactions when Beau was channeling Tracy with the whole wedding ring thing while he was just doing a ritual spell. That was great
@@cyanic3148 if you remember what episode was it
Not gonna lie I'm sad that Fjord didn't get with Jester first. 😢
think of it this way, saving the best for last.
@@TheSoulknight19 I guess so. Still...
He kissed her first.
To give her air, but still.
@@aaronbourque5494 Kiss of life except Jester was already alive
She wouldn’t have been if he didn’t.
God that was so epic xD.
Also, I love your ending sequences. So upbeat and positive! :)
OMMMMMMMG That was beyond gold, im speechless XD
All of you critical rollers are awesome, thanks so much for being you ^_^
