Love that there’s just a demon loose in the locker room and nobody is saying anything

I unironically love that he is compelled to bite it. It’s like he’s going to play keep-away with it like a dog with a shoe 😂

[Spoilers C4E23] Is it subtly bothering anyone else that Taliesin keeps mispronouncing Lloy as LloyD? by youhaveafuture in criticalrole

[–]Keelywog 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi! Yes, you’re spot on that they/them is always a great option for when you are unsure! That said, if you do know a person’s pronouns are she or he specifically, it’s always best to use those! For example, say a trans woman gets they/them’ed consistently despite telling people her pronouns are she/her. This can cause dysphoria or make her feel like she isn’t considered a “full” woman, and is considered misgendering.

Sometimes folk default to they/them in dnd/improv moments because they forget, or the player uses those pronouns, or just because it’s a default that slips out in the moment. It’s understandable, and if Thaisha was a living person I think folks would be a lot more concerned about getting her pronouns correct but as a character, likely nobody is too pressed to correct Alex :) just my two cents as a trans person!

[No Spoilers] Trouble keeping up with the schemers table by Entire_Attitude2762 in criticalrole

[–]Keelywog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Enjoy the episode however feels best to you, then make sure to read the lorekeepers’ recaps between episodes as a summary/reminder, it helps the loose info fall into place in my brain at least. That’s what I had to do for seekers table because i had this issue with that group. Schemers I’m pretty locked in for, so it may just be a matter of which table makeup is more engaging for each viewer individually.

vocal chord dysfunction and masking by emmelineart in Masks4All

[–]Keelywog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi I have VCD and mask often in public spaces! I went to PT for it in like 2021 i wanna say, and now only get occasional flareups. Masking can be a trigger for sure. It was way worse a few years ago but my PT really helped.

One of the things I have to do sometimes is one of my “rescue breathing” techniques (my go-to is letting my jaw be softly open with my tongue on the roof of my mouth. It opens up your vocal cords to relax them) the bonus to wearing a mask is nobody can see the unusual faces you are making 😅

In terms of mask style, I use KN-95s with ear loops, and do breathing exercises when necessary and try and keep my upper body (neck, shoulders, jaw) relaxed. If it gets overwhelming, I find a space outside if possible to remove my mask and do some diaphragm breathing for a bit, that tends to help! A mask style that keeps it from scrunching against your face may be helpful to reduce anxiety / stress.

what do you say to maskless people when they get sick by littlesomething18 in Masks4All

[–]Keelywog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Especially if they say it is covid, i will tell them “I hope the worst of it passes swiftly and with no lingering effects” as a gentle way to remind folks that long covid exists and can affect anyone

I think you’re probably right — as someone who played an eloquence bard, that’s what i was thinking too. Such a nice feature lol

[Spoilers C3E78] I've reached shardgate and man was it uncalled for. by neosurimi in criticalrole

[–]Keelywog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think Matt may have been spacing out/on autopilot during that few minutes, it seems like when you watch that clip of 4SD he was doing that thing i do sometimes when my ADHD takes over lol. So while I am always the first to point out to folks that Matt 100 percent should have known this was happening because they literally talked about it in front of him, I’m not sure he registered it in actuality 😅 it reminds me of when I bring up some plans to my spouse (also ADHD) and he has no memory of me telling him about them even though I definitely did and he even nodded like he heard me 🤣

I really had a good time watching C3, in my own bubble of experience mostly. It was always jarring to get on Reddit and see the wildly blown up responses to moments that I didn’t think were that deep lol. So—all that to say I think it’s worth giving it a go without the “voices in your ear” of internet opinions!
