"Critical Role - Mighty Nein Intro" (Watch on YouTube)

I'm losing my mind over this. I've watched it at least eight times in a row, picking up all the details. 😍

It's SO amazing, oh man. I am in AWE of that scene with Caduceus and the fungus, there's so much detail in such a short clip and the transitions and compositions are just incredible

I'm still crying over the line "take a chance, roll the dice" on the shot of Mollymauk's grave. And the cut from his grave to Caduceus haloed in sun with his tea.

... OH my god, I just realized: Mollymauk Tealeaf --> Caduceus with his tea. And not just any tea, but tea made from dead people. Tea made from dead people, used to nourish and comfort the living. I am dumb and Taliesin Jaffe is too good at this 😢

Plus the symbolism of the raven, for anyone whose finished Campaign 1, as if that sequence needed anymore ouch.

Taliesin is SO good. There's so many layers of symbolism and iconography and meaning in everything he does, even stuff that feels superficial at first. Man. MAN. I can't wait for his Caduceus playlist

I was freaking out so hard about the raven that I missed like...all the other symbolism. It's all just so beautiful!

Every time I re-watch it or see another gifset I notice some more symbolism, it's gorgeous.
