- i was washing dishes in a shared kitchen when i was listening to this part, and let's just say my neighbors think scrubbing plates makes me cry now. this is the longest animatic i've ever done, but i couldn't bear to cut out any part of this speech :'(
i love beau so muchhhh
please go watch critical role: • Critical Role | Campai...
mollymauk tarot card design inspired by this piece: www.redbubble....
"I'm not going to go off and be a hero..."
...and yet this is exactly where she started doing that. Molly's death hurt like Hell, but the growth from Beau has been absolutely beautiful to watch.
Honestly Beau's character arc so far is one of the absolute highlights of the show for me, and that's saying a lot. When I started working on this animatic I had just gotten to this part, and now I'm almost caught up--Marisha is just an incredible storyteller, and this moment really kicked it off. :'''''')
Hell, the growth of pretty much everyone
@@HarrietHLE I know right? It's made even more impressive when you compare this to her performance in season 1. She started roleplaying like she was the main character, eventually toned it down, then became able to pull off this gem.
That is is some amazing growth, in and out of character.
sometimes ashes are the best fertilizer
@@magnumhocus i really think she did well with keyleth too though, she did what her character was an awkward young adult, with no life experience, and all the interruptions and awkward silences was marish doing her character how she envisioned it.
Mollymauk lied to tell truth.
Mollymauk stole to give.
Mollymauk killed to protect.
Mollymauk died so that others could live their best lives.
Mollymauk made the greatest sacrifice of all. He became the hero of Exandria and didn't even know it.
Molly was literally Jesus
Long may he reign
And now he is the death of everyone
May we all eat of his fruits...
And if it weren’t for him, the nien would have never really had a reason to interact
I had it spoiled for me that Molly died and I still got wrecked by this.
It also got spoiled for me so I know the feeling, haha. I'm glad you still enjoyed tho!
Same here :(
Yes it still hit me like a truck..
I accidentally spoiled ep 26 for myself. I dreaded having to listen/watch it, but I didn't expect to cry and keep on crying for 2 further episodes.
That's just a sign of how well it's done, when you see it coming and it still works.
Two of my favorite Mollymauk moments was first when Caleb had his first snap in the Gnoll caves and Molly kissed him on the forehead and told Caleb thay they can talk about it tomorrow. And second, when Molly was supporting drunk Caleb after a drinking contest in Hupperdook, and Molly remarked about how colorful things are when people are all celebrating and all and then Caleb told Molly that he was the most colorful thing in the world, and Molly (Taliesin) just smiled, as if he has done his job for the night. Molly, similar yet still unlike Jester, really brings brightness where it is dark. It makes sense that Molly was a worshipper of the Moonweaver.
That's beatifull.
I remember the first one, but could you remind me what episode I can find that seccond one?
(Perfectly alright if you don't remember either, it HAS been 2 years)
@@SkyP9812 it would be somewhere in the 20s but before ep 29. ball parking maybe ep 26 or 27

@@thewovenmantis6813 sorry my spelling skills are terrible.
Long may he reign!
Now I understand why Critters say "Long may he reign" in regards to Molly.
I desperately want Beau to eat the rest of the shrooms she has to see into the ethereal plane and find that Mollymauk's ghost has been following the group around ever since his death.
well, have I got news for you....
bro dont... ;-;
W e l l
I can’t wait to see that I have been binge watch critical role to see when it happens
What made Molly's death so powerful was that it came as a complete surprise to everyone. Taliesin created something amazing with the character, something that went beyond dice rolls or dungeons. Molly was a strange sort of joy and cunning, wrapped in a mystery he didn't understand himself.
I keep thinking that this would have been the way to tell the story, ya know? Molly was the binding factor in the party, so of course he had to get killed. That it happened the way it did though... his death was perfect. Even after almost two years, he's still a part of the lore that can't be forgotten.
Marisha, Sam and Liam were honestly torn apart, and they all came up with unforgettable lines that tear me apart still:
"Long may he reign!"
"Shine on, circus man."
"Molly told me not to steal from happy people. ...I can't steal from this one."
For all the crap people gave (and tbh STILL give to) Marisha about how she RP's Beau, this was nothing but a positive impact on her character, yeah i wish it didn't have to be cause of a characters death but Beau's growth is night & day from this point on.
i've been a fan of beau since the beginning but i have to say this was one of her shining moments! and i've loved watching her grow so much since then. the price was high but i think the effect on the campaign was amazing to watch.
@@HarrietHLE Ditto. Yeah, she does keep the sarcasm that made me fall in love with her as a character but it feels much less of a defense mechanism and more natural.... If that makes sense lol. Of course she does also become just as much of a leader of the Nein as Fjord or Caleb imo anyway. Yeah, though i do have to laugh at when the Nein kill Lorenzo in revenge (which occured at the first live show they did) & Matt's quiet "sh!t" of realization, he clearly had plans for him to stick around longer i think.
@@davidparkes7741 Yes, Beau's insults feel mostly like affectionate ribbing to the rest of the group now, rather than the genuine aggression from the beginning. I loved seeing her in a leadership role, particularly in the Iron Shepherds arc! I'm curious what Matt would have done with Lorenzo, but I have to say that was a satisfying fight!
@@HarrietHLE Exactly, of course she can still give it out to those who deserve it however. Definitely and Marisha's leadership RP-wise shined through especially since much of the table during that arc was half guest & half regular. Of course whilst Caleb did get better in his leadership, she took center stage. That's a really good question, if he had survived they wouldn't of gone to Nicodranas as soon as they did in 33 (which ep i'm currently on, yeah i know i've got a while to catch up) but as for the length of the arc.... I could've seen him surprise the Nein when they took that letter from his body (him having been just knocked unconscious but still able to be healed.... Even though they'd already killed the Iron Shepherd's healer but i digress) where it needed to go). Oh definitely, Caleb's kill move sounded brutal.
@@davidparkes7741 Yes, it was amazing at how well the remaining regular cast performed with the guest players during that arc. It remains one of my favorite arcs even though some of my favorite players weren't there! It would have certainly been a different plot route if they hadn't gone on to Nicodranas. And I'm only on episode 50 actually even though I've been listening for months... it takes a long time, haha, which is both great because there's always more to listen to and bad because I just want to be caught up...
When you think the wounds have closed, then you illustrate Marisha's/Beau's raw emotion like that, and the tears heckin GUSH OUT 😭💔
still crying over it myself 😭
You think this is bad? Look up ‘Mollymauk’s theory of happiness’ and it...
First of all, how dare you?
Second of all, great job!
Cartoonking1 that’s what I like to hear 😈 thank u!!!
@@HarrietHLE I Hope that you can make more
@@cartoonking1895 planning on it!
This perfectly sums up my feelings about this 😂
@@sirbraveheart6535 hahaha, thank you!!
You captured beau so well! She went through so many different shades of emotion in this scene and you really brought them all alive. ugh, my Molly Feels are back now
thank you!!! i love them both so much,,,
God I miss molly
long may he reign :'(
@@HarrietHLE I'm not too familiar with the rules. Was there a game reason that they couldn't have resurrected him or something? Or did Taliesin explicitly request that it not be done?
@@MrUmakemelaff I'm not super familiar with the rules either, although I know Matt has established that resurrection is possible within his world. I'm not sure if they just decided not to go down that path because they were not high level enough to attempt it or if something went on behind the scenes like Taliesin telling everyone he was fine with a new character or them deciding that permanent death was important to the story they were telling. Either way, it makes for interesting storytelling!
@@HarrietHLE Well, he was a homebrew class...Maybe he felt an official class was better...they definitely needed a dedicated healer...Jester should have been sued for malpractice long ago.
@@MrUmakemelaff Haha, as much as I love Jester that's very true. He does seem to enjoy the new class more as well, I think.
This has got to be one of Beauregard’s best RP moment, of not Marisha’s!
Aerial Woods for sure! She’s incredibly talented & this just took my breath away 😭
*immediately starts crying*
same here :'(
I knew Molly’s death was coming but this hurt me. Marisha did such a good role player.
the sort of.. Furious Resolve at the end of her eulogy gave me the absolute CHILLS when it happened, and im so glad you caught it here. I kinda wish that Beau got the final blow on Lorenzo so she could beat the ever-loving shit out of him for what he did.
That was one of my favorite parts as well!
When she landed that Stunning Strike, the way she described Beau turning to the rest of the group, and just screaming, *"FUCK HIM UP!!"* always gets to me.
Ugh Molly was honestly one of my favorite characters in the story because he was just an overall amazing character and Beau explained why because he was an arrogant piece of shit but he made sure everyone was happy and loved. And I’m really sad that he died.
The crossed scimitars with the feather, omg!
admittedly can't take credit for that--i was inspired by this design i saw on redbubble! i'll put a link in the description as well. www.redbubble.com/people/sheppard56/works/34758080-dnd-critical-role-mollymauk?c=993349-dnd-critical-role
damn Beau's feelings are so infectious I'm going to go and cry you did an incredible job with this
thank you so much!!! i've listened to this scene like 300 times and it still makes me cry lol
I thought I made peace with this, but nope. Tears started steaming down my cheeks like some faulty pipes exploded. Marishas amazing acting always hits hard, but in combination with these character expressions? Ouch.
i could watch marisha rp 24/7, she's so talented!! she killed me on this one...
@@HarrietHLE She slayed us all with this. Beau was played amazingly since the beginning, but this. This takes the cake, all opponents beaten to pulp. When watching the episode, I managed to hold my tears but then. Then Marisha started speaking, first to Nott, then to others and I started sobbing. Catharsis is real and it's name is Marisha Ray.
Carla Kingslayer Truer words 🙌
This was so good! You captured the emotions in her face and her eyes sooo well! I relieved the raw pain and beautiful growth of this moment, it reminded me of all the steps I have seen Beau take to try and follow in Molly's footsteps since this day, so thank you for commemorating this so beautifully.
thank you so much! this moment was one of my all-time favorites in the campaign so far, because beau has grown so much as a character & molly had such a huge impact on the group as a whole, so i wanted to express that!
Marisha BECAME Beau here. Her voice breaking to pieces during that whole eulogy destroys me. Also your art is absolutely amazing.
I saw critrole animatic and thought I'd see a fun lil goof
WELL I WAS INCORRECT
and now Im sad, thanks for the feels though
we're all in this together :') thank you!!!
These people are so so good at role playing, I wish there could be a dnd death as emotional as this in an ordinary campaign
I know, it's so astonishingly good... but they're professional actors for a reason, I suppose!
Um
*ouch*
That was seriously so beautiful, you captured everyone’s spirit so well that tears were actually shed. Right in the feel bone. You’ve DEFINITELY earned yourself a sub.
Where the fuck is my goat thank you so much!!! I’m still crying over this scene 😭
amazing! You captured Beaus emotions so well!
thank you so much!!
I thought I was over this, but I'm not. Thanks for pulling all these feelings back up.
you're welcome :'''') i'm still crying over it
I'm not a frequent watcher of critical role and I just stumbled upon you here. But, goodness, this scene with animation.
thank you!!!
Man why did I watch this, I knew I was gonna cry. (Thanks for the amazing animatic)
thanks!! we're all crying, it's ok :')
This scene is honestly great. The voice acting and story is great, and the animation really helps it. You forget that this is a DND group between friends.
When you look at this, realise just how far they’d come and recently seen episode 111. Still hit me hard in the feels. Still get teary eyed. Long may he reign indeed.
I know exactly why I'm crying in the club.
:'(
Shine bright Circus man :’(
Molly left every place he visited better than how he found it.
Including a motley crew of mercenaries.
God I wish we could see more of molly he was such a good watch but I love his character and how he made an impact on the party after his death...that is how you make a character.
This was the moment that really sold me on Beau as a character
This is so amazing hells...
ty!!
Ah man... I thought I was finally over Molly’s death and then this pops up in my feed.
Fantastic work!
Thank you so much!!
This is beautiful. Truly beautiful. I'm genuinely heart broken over the loss of Mollymauk, hearing this again and the art? Heartbreaking, beautiful. Just amazing.
Your art is gorgeous 💕
thank you so much!!! that means a lot
Shine bright Circus man
Dude Marisha fuckin popped off with that. An Excellent show of Beau's real character
man this is so sad :c
why you have to make so great characters taliesin, why
Sofia Laya a blessing and a curse 😭
And now all of the tears have been relived. Thanks m8. :)
Seriously though this is an amazing animation and you captured everyone’s characters so well :0
thank you!! im still not over it tbh
Thank you so much for drawing this entire thing and making me cry 😭
The emotions in her voice, it's like my heart is being ripped out of my chest 😥
you animated this so well!! pulled at my heart strings just like the first time i hear Beau's speech :')
Dang, who's cutting those onions?!
I don't cry often to media, but god. This got to me. Beautiful work, HarrietHLE!
Thank you!!
Long may he reign!
And it’s midnight and I’m crying again. Thanks
we're all in this together :''''''(
I’m not crying. Someone’s just cutting onions again.
HOW DARE YOU!!!!!
Honestly this is beautifull
thank you!!!
This is great, and by great I mean you reached into my chest, ripped out my beating heart, threw it on the ground and stomped on it a couple of times. Thank you for that
i try, lol. thank u!!!
Made me tear up remembering this moment.
such a beautiful moment :')
This hurts even more with the recent eps
I was holding together until the feet of Molly's Corp came into view
I didn't mean to be crying tonight, and yet here I am.
Those 3 chaotic bastards who saw Moly die. It’s so thematic.
Baby steps to leaving a town better
Moly said not to steal from happy people.
Nott finally thinks the mighty Nein are here friends Caleb. Was in denial really. Wrote a note Incase he woke up. Walked away from a question.
Oh gosh! My heart! That was so nice.
tysm!!
This captures her so well!! Good job ;;;^;;;;
thank you!!! :')
Spoilers for 121
If anyone is gonna bring up this lesson he taught them to Lucian, I feel it's gonna be Beau. She has been the one to AGGRESSIVELY rip Molly out of him while Jester has been the one to extend her hand out. Beau telling him this is gonna rip another hole in the barrier between the two and it is gonna hurt in the best worst way. Molly did make everyone/place he left better, maybe he can make lucian better too.....
Her childhood, oh no... We all know what that lie was. That made me tear up even more than the part about Molly.
When you look at this now... Knowing what we do now...
Beau. I feel for ya dude
In all honesty, at first I thought it was going to be another awkward Beau moment, but as she went on I actually felt for her
I’ve only reached this episode and now a few after and I am still sad 😭
I'm just now reaching episode 70 and I'm still a bit sad, so I feel you...
THIS HURTS SO MUCH! ITS SO GOOD!
Let's leave every place we go in a better state than we found it. For Molly.
made me tear up, thx
thank u!! :')
I'm part of the catch up crew. I remember coming to this moment while playing through the capital city in Elden Ring. I paused the game and just watched. I got literal chills when Beau finished with "starting with these fuck heads". Great animation of a turning point for the M9.
Thank you for this great video. Just saw that episode. Need to see the Might Nein _take out_ Lorenzo and the Sheperds.
thanks for recommending this to me while im on my period youtube really needed to watch this again 😭💔
I SOBBED through her speech. Marisha is spectacular.
Shine bright, Circus Man
Long may he reign
If this become a movie or show...everyone would cry this like how when mufasa died
I know I've already commented but i just re-watched this & well.... Beau's words hit differently now in light of everything that's occurred since then.
Absolutely!! Never counted on that when I made this last year haha--can't wait to see where things go from here
@@HarrietHLE Oh absolutely. What would you pick as your preferred outcome? Re-burial or kept alive with the uhh, right personality?
@@davidparkes7741 Hmm... It might be too optimistic but I hope they can connect with the old M for even just a moment... but I suspect re-burial might end up being the best case scenario if we're en route to L BBEG :'( What do you think?
@@HarrietHLE Yeah, I have a feeling that the M personality is gone for good so I don't know if bringing him back is even possible. Oh yeah, L as the BBEG does seem to be the most logical outcome. I just wonder if there's a secret BBEG in hiding ala Vecna from C1?
@@davidparkes7741 Certainly could be! I'm still not sure Tharizdun is out of the picture completely--and who knows what the real truth of the floating city is... Yeah, I suspect that M might be totally gone too--but maybe Matt will give us a little something? Haha, might be too indulgent though.
I also listened to this part washing up and crying.
Long may he reign.
That was raw emotional power
Hits me every time!
This is amazing!!!
thank you!!!!
This is really good
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
THE THUMBNAIL TRICKED ME, I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE HAPPY.
Note to self: Read the title next time
i cried so hard those episodes
same hereee
When the M9 animated show comes out....oh damn.
I-I love this
aw thank you!
"I am you're god.
_Long may I reign._
Eat of my fruits..."
I can't do this at work. Ill cry when I get home
Home now, crying in safety
Best fucking Eulogy EVER!
As much as it hurts like hell that he died, I still believe that Molly was narratively the best of the protagonist to meet an early end. His backstory was already out, due to him having no memory of his past, there wasn't any secret left to spill, the only thing relevant to his story were left to Matt (and we know how it came back later). He had just enough time in the campaign to cement his core belief of letting every place he comes across better than when he found it and it became the principle of the Nein. Molly's death immortalized his early characterization as the moral compass of the Mighty Nein, and really, he was the best among them for that role.
So glad I'm meeting Tal next month. Long may he reign. And I'm loving Cad as well.
@@JnEricsonx really?! Where?
@@redknight2562 NYCC. After battling the ticket website, scored autograph tix for him, Laura, Ashley, Sam, Travis, and Liam. Im basically spending 7 odd hours on lines for one day, but Im going that day for them. Couldnt get Matt and Marisha ones, site crashed on me, and then sold out.
@@JnEricsonx that sounds like a really fun time
Shine bright circus man.
This still hurts tbh
Fly high circus man
I miss molly so much...
see I'm hearing words but all I feel inside is pain
This was when I really started taking Beau seriously.
It's 2am
I'm ready to cry
Let's go
Still slowly growing on beu and even more marisha
Ok I’m gonna go cry in a corner now 😆
Long may he rein
