I like how Lucien looks ominous at first, but when he pulls his hood down he just looks kind of tired and worn down.

there was a slight change in his face before and after the eyes flashed. as he looked up at the cave he had a slight look of sadness and after it went to a tired emotionless look when the eyes flashes around him. its a tiny subtle change but i caught it

This is gorgeous

I loved how in the beginning it was Nott blowing on the tinder to try to get the flames going; you can see her more gaunt face and yellow eyes each time it flares, and then Caleb, who lit the flames of change to change her back, lights the fire and reveals Veth. That was amazingly well done.

I'd like to think Matt made Lucien in a way that although he'll never admit it, the time and memories as Mollymauk are still very much a part of his complete self. So I'm interpreting this as Lucien temporarily losing himself in the sentiment associated with the memories of Molly, before the eyes of nine pull him back into nonagon-mode.

If he was completely Lucien... I don't think he'd have taken the clover from Yasha. I might be grasping at straws, but I took that as confirmation that Mollymauk Tealeaf is in there, somewhere.

His soul(s) was split and scattered during the initial ritual by Vess, the Molly fragment remained behind and died a natural death.

@@bleepbloop101010101 Lucien was the one that confirmed that, but Matt himself could have a very different plan in mind. Until I hear from the DM's mouth himself that Molly is gone forever, I will believe that whatever pulled Lucien back together dragged Molly along with it--and even then, I'll hold out hope, because Matt could be lying in order to keep the fun of the reveal quiet

I really appreciate the details like Caduceus blows away the steam of Fjord´s vision and the symbolism behind it. And of course that spark from Caleb that indicates start of the journey and friendship. Whole design, thought, animation and feel of it is astonishing. Well done. My heart feels whole. Thank you

It's about to

This is incredible and so heartwarming, I LOVE the transition with nott and veth and caleb, and then beau and yasha too. and caduceus. and frumpkin! It all has such a sense of comfort and calm. Congrats on being featured in the gallery, this is truly amazing work! 💕

I love how Lucien looks back, almost as if he would like to join the camp around the warm fire, but then the eyes flash and he turns away. Do the Eyes of Nine control him, is Molly in there somewhere?

You nailed the cat walk. Frumpkin stepping into his own paw prints was perfect. Well done.

Okay when i first saw this i thought it was something professionally done and commissioned by the cast and DAMN if this didn't blow me away.

this is so nice and cozy, it feels like the animation version of a warm hug. and you did it in so little time, the new art was only revealed a bit ago!

Thank you so much!! Actually the designs were released when I was well into the linework, which is why only Caduceus and Fjord have their new outfit, for the others I went with an approximation of what they described before going to Eiselcross, but adapted the coloring to the new designs :) I'm not that fast, I still need sleep from time to time :'D

My cat does that too when snoozing; open one eye to take a peek and then close it again to continue sleeping again. :) Thank you for sharing this wonderful moment!

This whole thing is beautiful but ugh, ESPECIALLY the beginning with Nott struggling to keep a fire going, then Caleb comes and helps her with it and the scene transitions from Nott to Veth... and also the end with Molly, and can I point out how fluid the very end was with him pulling his hood back up and turning back around? Goddamn!!

The animation on Frumpkin was so smooth

Tis is so beautiful and sad. I love that it starts with a little light in the darkness and ends with little flying lights in the darkness. And the little details: Notts face that changes to Veth, Yashas white feather, Fjord who sees eyes in the smoke and Cadeuses blows them away, the little change in Mollys/Lucines eyes..... 💕

Beautifully animated. Lucien looking back with such an expression of longing kills me. Molly is a part of him no matter how hard he tries to deny it.

Omg I just noticed the eyes in the fires smoke, but as Cad looks at it and blows Ukatoas eyes vanish

The molly part is what melted my heart.

very good animation, the thing that i didnt see the first time that i find the best is the smoke turning into a tentacle and cad just blowing it away for fjord

I like the visual storytelling that all of the might nein are in their new outfits and designs, except Caleb, who still is held back in the past.

Now I will see those floaty jelly orbs every time Caleb uses his light orbs.

I love that you get to see Molly peak through a little 🥰

i agree with everyone this was beautifully made and lucian/molly seemed sad for a moment until the nine snapped him out of it made me sad bittersweet ending can't wait for the gang to get back.

I love that is was Nott, but when Caleb lit the fire it was Veth... it’s just so beautiful...

This whole thing is *severely* underrated. Beautiful.

😭😭😭😭my heart molly part got me bad , i really don't think he's going to be walking away from this

I did not prepare to start crying. Seeing Lucian looking back and seeing the sad, lonely longing written all over his face, and then the eyes around him... forcing him back down into the depths of Lucians mind. Breaks my hreat cause I love Molly and i want Lucian to be freed from The Eyes of Nine so he can be happy again!!!!

This is hecking adorable, how did I not find this earlier? The art style for some reason made me think of Kim Possible and I love it SO MUCH. The way the music changes when it moves to Lucien is perfect in the weird familiar yet unnervingly alien way that Lucien makes me feel

Wow! Like…holy biscuits! So much was said without words. Lucien’s gaze….dang.

Well isn't that just wholesome as hell, with a dash of melancholy thanks to Molly. I love it!

Boy, does episode 140 ever change the meaning of this video....in a very good way 😊

ive re watched this 10 times and only now niticed the uk'otoa steam column

God that would be amazing if Lucien actually isn't evil but the Nine-Eyes are forcing him too

This hits different after the battle between the Might Nein and the Tomb Takers... 😥 oh Molly, maybe it's for the best if you aren't still in there to see what's become of your friends

Amazing work. The critters have such skills and creativity, and I'm sad I only seen this video now.

I dont care ifit's late, the cast needs to see this beautiful masterpiece

Absolutely beautiful animation. Love the art style, love all the little nods at parts of the story (Nott in the beginning, Yasha's wings, Mollymauk's last bit of longing). Here's to hoping the Critical Role gang can see this and enjoy it as much as I have.

I’m still amazed every time I see this. I aspire to real your level of animation prowess

how gentle caleb is??? my heart

The gentle animation - it's so cozy~

Why do i find this so late?? This is the Definition of beatuy 😤👌🏻 Omg i love it so much, everything in it just awesome, what a masterpiece

Still my favorite C2 fan work, so beautiful, the animation is mesmerizing and the number of subtle details is amazing 💖

I’m coming back to this after a few months and I just now realized, this was the animation that officially got me into critical role. Thank you

I don’t understand how anyone could dislike this. It was wonderfully animated, and colored- the atmosphere was perfect and felt warm and inviting, and the music was calming and beautiful. Well done!!!

Wow. That was amazing. Things like this are why I am glad that the CR community exists. People finding something they love and making it better with there own inspiration and skill set. Top notch stuff here, please keep animating, I want to see more of this on the internet.

This video can literally melt an iceberg, it's so cozy and cute and cuddly and warm AAAAAAAAAH

I don't want to know how much work was put into this. It looks incredible and the music is so atmospheric. Seriously one of the best CR animations I've ever seen.

WAIT A HOT SECOND... you're the person that made the TAZ dust intro!! its so awesome to see your work again, this is fantastic!!

Aww, this is wonderful. Just what's needed to warm our hearts while CR is on break.

i instantly gravitated towards this when i saw it in the holiday gallery. it's so calming and quite literally heartwarming. i can't imagine how long this took - it's really beautiful, you did an amazing job! ❤️

This is one of the best critical role fan-work. It deserves way more views.

all those small details come together so well! I keep rewatching because every time there's something new I notice

This brings warmth to my heart, and tears to my eyes... and the end of the video is a punch to my guts, in a good way. so beautiful.

Love how peaceful this vid is. Only on ep. 89 (but I know about the Molly stuff) and I am sharing it with my own D&D group asking why can't we be this chill

I don't think until I finished watching this that I had fully processed yet that their going to have to fight Molly... And probably just my interpretation but just that almost longing look towards the cliff almost like a flash of Molly before the 9 silences him just wrecked me. Regardless it is absolutely breathtaking art from animation to scene layout and of course that just transcending emotional music I could ramble forever but I'll just say... Thank you for sharing your vision and art with us friend.

I just keep rewatching this!!! It’s so good! Nd I love the idea that Molly is still inside Lucien somewhere 😭 Amazing work! Keep it up!

That Nott/Veth intro gave me chills

This is so beautiful! The art is beautiful and the music you chose was perfect. The two together evokes so many complex emotions, feelings of warmth and comfort, paired with melancholy and nostalgia. It's definetly one of the most emotionally impactful pieces of animation I've seen for how short it is. You should be very proud!

God I’m getting serious wolf walkers vibes from the animation

This is so well done! I love the detail of Caduceus blowing the smoke back down :)

I love this, it semehow reminds me of tomm moore animations. this was sowholesome and heartbreaking at the same time.

One word: Beautiful.

I was expecting Holiday by Green Day, and this was not the vibe I came for, but I love it nonetheless. Who said you could be this wholesome?!

Wow! That was amazing so many little details and the animation and art are great! I also really love this chill music So many great details, but can I mention I also just love how Frumpkin looks. I wish I could see a whole show animated like this. Still I also love how short and sweet this is but still packs so many emotions.

It's a new year I am some episodes behind and I will take this good animation as a sign to start watching again.

GIVE ME BACK MY MOLLY!!! *cries*

The feather, that's beutiful. Amazing job!

This is actually the most beautiful thing I've seen all day! I loved the animation/drawing style so much! It reminded me of something like Secret of the Kells or Song of the Sea. And the music was amazing and fit absolutely amazing with the animation! Fabulous job!

I've watched this so many times already. Favorite animation

Awww! This looks amazing and I love the little details you added like the cooking pot steam!!

A lovely thing to come back home to

This is so beautiful and happy and sad, I love it

The animation is very nice and the mood it sets is precious and beautiful at the same time. Truly a sight to behold. Only a person with a big heart and a lot of commitment could make this.

God this is AMAZING. There are so many wonderful tiny lil heartwarming details, I just love it all so much

This reminds me about spectacular spider-man art style.

HUhuhu pls bring back Molly to be good T^T The animation is soo smooth I love it!

Yeah, I WISH Lucian would just leave them alone like that P_P

This is soooo good!!

my jaw dropped from how well made this is!

This will explode. Very soon.

This deserves at least 10x the views.

oh my gosh, my heart! the feelings in this, absolutely stunning!

Beautiful. Almost made me tear up a bit

Omg was that Nott at the beginning that turned into Veth!? Because if so omg that is SO SO perfect because it has such good symbolism like at first Nott was alone and stuff and then Caleb came along and helped her and made her Veth again but also he like helped kindle the fire that brought the Mighty Nein together like Veth and Caleb became friends and then joined together with the other Mighty Nein members just like how Caleb lit the twigs that Nott/Veth was holding and then she put them into the fire which like became a whole big fire and it zoomed out to the rest of the M9 because like the fire of their friendship was kindled and now it’s a big roaring friendship fire and also the campaign started with Caleb and Nott just like this video with the smaller fire of their smaller individual friendship, and then it grew to be the whole M9 just like this video zoomed out to the rest of the M9 and to the bigger fire idk I’m sorry this is really long I just love symbolism and I think this video has a lot of it-needless to say I LOVE THIS VIDEO

Why does this make me so happy?
