And with over half an hour to spare, I have endured Arkham Asylum and Arkham City in less than 24 hours! Thank you to everyone who came in, watched, or chatted! I had a lot of fun doing it, but I'm going to probably do nothing for the rest of the day

Arkham Asylum conquered! After only 8 hours and some change, I have completely beaten Arkham Asylum, minus all of the side quests and such. Going to take an hour to recuperate and then hit the ground running with Arkham City. Hope to see you guys there!

@saltydkdan Not gonna lie, this stream really inspired me to try and do a Lego Stream sometime in the near future! I have a few sets that I could build and I never really got around to building them and this looks like a really fun and calming way to do it while still practicing streaming!
A Late Birthday gift to the amazing @AmarathRohmdyre
To a person who deserves more than I can give.
To a person who’s been through too much for too long.
To the person who’s still suffering from phobias of people whose characters provide them with comfort.
To know that the people who help them feel comfort and security also makes them violently ill and struck with literal gut wrenching terror is heart breaking and ungodly unfair
But we’re going to endure it. You will endure it and you’ll get them back. You deserve to no longer be afraid for your life of human beings who also painfully give you comfort in dark times. You deserve to be able to look at them in the eyes, in person or through a screen and say “I trust this person” and not “How do I survive being in a room with this threat?”.
You’ll get them back

Happy Birthday
It's time to reintroduce myself.
My name is Percival Af Caleb Veil.
My name was chosen in honor of the characters who changed my life in ways that I don't openly admit enough.
Percy de Rolo, Caleb Widowgast, and yes, Abigail Flowers, A.K.A Af.
It took blood, breakdowns, and a painful reality check to find myself at home amongst the dashing blue tailcoats, the eccentric awoo, and the dirt wizard flames. It all started in 2020 with a one-shot and a cosplay.
Af may not be as well known to Critters, if you've never seen the Cinderbrush one-shot you probably have no idea who I'm talking about. This absolutely animated in every way teenage werewolf was actually the one who taught me I was nonbinary, as odd as that may sound. Much like how Caduceus Clay taught me I was ace, hearing the way he described himself and his thoughts, Af did the same thing. From the first "My name's not fucking Abigail, okay? It's Af, those are my initials", to learning more about Ally themself (my original ENBY icon, don't @ me, they changed my life 🥺) it all started to make sense. I love that werewolf with every fiber of my being, and miss them so much. They started my non-binary journey, and I found a forever home for them in my own name.
After this revelation (that I was still in denial about), I decided I was going to make a polymorphed Percy in a ballgown. I blinked, and it was ready. I wore it proudly to a convention in Denver. I met someone I will love and miss forever who knew me from the start. She called me 'Percy', and it was the very first time I'd heard that name assigned to me.
From there, I wore that costume and a modified one that was more true to screen, for two more years. Every time someone yelled "Percy!" to get my attention, I felt a lightness that I hadn't been able to feel after years of struggling with my identity.
Then I heard my deadname, on repeat, from one person I never should've allowed in my life. The breakdowns and confusion that followed led to my discovery. The name Percy, I didn't just want to wear it with the white hair and golden glasses.
I wanted to wear it forever.
I've struggled a lot with CR for several years, and associating myself so directly with Percy was hard. To hear his name and think of myself, I had to fight through a lot of inner turmoil where my fears fought hard to keep me from embracing them.
Jade was the first to show me how badly I wanted to wear the name. From there, it became normal in my small circle. I was Percy.
Then came the full name of Percival, as I work in the legal field. I wanted something more professional to stand under, and Percival fit just fine.
Caleb came along shortly after, a name I'd first given to my little Goldendoodle puppy. I realized I had a love for Caleb, tied to Jade who was my Mollymauk. When she died, I took Caleb as my middle name so that I would always be holding my Molly.
Veil came last, and it may seem like it has no tie to CR. To you, it won't, but to me, it does. For these years I've been suffering my phobias, there has been a veil between me and my love for Critical Role, for these actors and their creations. That veil has led to resentment at times, anger at others, and sorrow more than anything. I miss them, I miss watching them, I miss being able to hear someone say 'Taliesin' without feeling like I need a place to hide.
That veil has been the most painful part of my adult life. Percival Af Caleb Veil has changed that veil's opacity.
Choosing these names, and aligning myself with Percy and Caleb, I've chosen to look through the veil to see Taliesin, Ally, and Liam regardless of how terrified I am, to let what they made give me a purpose.
That veil won't stay forever, it'll be torn down in due time. Percival Af Caleb Veil will always remember that it was there and that it was slowly overpowered by a new sense of self.
I'm non-binary, I'm asexual, and I'm happy with who I really am.
My name is Percival Af Caleb Veil, but you can call me Percy.

"The fear is hard to explain, when someone who means so much to you suffers. You know the fear they feel is worse, but your heart hurts in a way you can't forget. What matters most is that he's alive, and this isn't over." - Amarath Rohmdyre - Chapter 14
Not me crying tears of joy actually being able to play as Kurenai Yuhi like I've wanted to since forever 😭 hearing @MaryEMcGlynn while I'm absolutely kicking ass with flower petal clones is everything I could've ever asked for
So it turns out I'm starting to have a manic episode so I think I'm going to stream tonight! How does an hour and a half from now sound? (8PM Central Time, 7PM Mountain Time)
