Funny that we're all proud of a man pretending to kiss his actual wife's fictional character.

I know they were role playing, but they definitely were not acting.

She should marry him irl. Oh, wait...

A.k.a husband and wife flirting for 8 whole minutes also, Travis admits defeat...he fought well, 118 episodes, well over two years.

Aw man you can tell afterwards Travis was a bit anxious about letting himself and his character be that emotionally open and vulnerable to such a large audience. Proud of him.

The fact that Marisha and Ashley look like they just read the *spiciest* fanfic ever. Makes it perfect.

ALSO am very proud of laura bailey for being the ONLY dnd player to always win dnd!!

That “I wanted to do that for a while, but I’m a big coward” and “No, you’re very brave” feels like it’s coming from Travis and Laura regarding Travis pulling the trigger on doing a romance rather than the in-game relationship.

saying he wants to go back to Nicodranis is a lot...he didnt say port damali (where hes from) he wants to go back to HER home ......my heart was SCAREAMING during this scene

Theres something insanely wholesome and precious about the pure excitement Laura has as her fake romance with her husbands fake character finally reaches fruition. Its like watching people fall in love all over again. DnD is weird and holds too much power

Henry the Consent Crabgrass approves of this romantic interaction.

Travis turned SO RED. OH MY GOD this was so cute. And YES FJORJESTER IS REAL.

I think Marisha figured out what was going to happen before everyone else. When Fjord said to Jester "I care very much for you." Marisha gets this grin on her face and starts looking around at everyone like "Anybody else picking up on this? I think it's going to happen."

We all know who the REAL winner is here, and it's Dani Carr

"STOP LOOKING AT ME!!!" was really what nailed it into the coffin for me, it's just ALL too sweet!!

"I promised your mother I'd look after you." Travis was the last person I expected to make me cry.

I'm a 34 year old man and I watched this clip of people roleplaying in a D&D game like 10 times in a row.

I love that by the end chat was yelling “can someone please check on Marisha”

When Marisha tweeted "Love is real," this was not the couple I thought would admit feelings to each other! Very sweet scene.

Somewhere in the distance, Henry Crabgrass smiles and nods.

One of my favorite parts is that Jester was so sad and heartbroken when she said she was going to her room to sleep, but after the kiss she was so happy and flustered that she easily fell asleep holding her unicorn

Travis: the only person in the world that can make Laura speechless.

AAAGGGHHHH!!!! And he asked- he asked to kiss her!!! I’m crying it was so beautiful!!!!

Watch this, I was so lost in the moment I forgot that Laura and Travis were married. I felt like I was watching like a real romantic interaction between two timid but caring individuals

Oh I'm crying now! They are so cute!!! Also I'm so proud of Travis who doesn't do RPG romance 😂

Thats one man right there who loves his wife... Love them so much

I love how even as a fictional character he still asks permission💜

Real talk, that little “Really?” she squeaked out when he said he cared for her a lot made it for me. This whole scene is great doe

Nothing will beat everyone's reactions to Vax and Kiki in campaign one, but goddamn watching the bottom row reacting to this was amazing.

this was the first ever ep that i watched live and let me tell you i SCREAMED like i fell out of my chair

He got SO red

Its always Sam and Tal doing smth on the side Ash being absolutely emotionally involved Liam reacting internally in character and marisha basically being us showing every though like an open book

4:48 I love the relaxed nod talisan gives as if saying, "Finally, good job Travis." So good.

7:29 That color change in Travis' face is unreal.

ALL HANDS ON DECK!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL, I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!!

"its been 84 years"

LOOK AT ALL THIS SHIP DOING ALL THIS SAILING

I watched this expecting Travis and Laura to actually kiss

I had to watch this 4-5 times just to stop watching them and see everyone else's reactions. You can SEE Travis falling in love with his wife all over again and it's so, so pure.

The look on Matt's face of pure PRIDE, I think is how many of us feel! He did something new as a character AND player and we should all be proud of that D&D magic! 😁🤩

Marisha’s “Love is real!” is a freaking mood.

The "Lover's Lair" email popping in right as Fjord leaves is so funny

No moment in fiction has ever made me this happy before. I love them so much, and they're finally together

The look on Matt's face while they're roleplaying this scene. I've seen the same look on my DM's face while I or other players are rp'ing a really good, emotional scene. It's such a good feeling seeing how proud and invested your DM is in whatever it is you're doing.

You know things have gotten serious when Marisha pulls out her safety/comfort book.

All professional actors with years of experience and they are loosing like 5th graders who just saw someone get a hug from someone else

I love this, for so so many reasons, but also because it's so fitting for Jester? Like I think a big part of her character development was her realizing that the outside world isn't like how it is in all of the fairytales she loved to read as a little girl. More than the last campaign, this one has been messy and complicated and full of grey areas. But here- Jester gets a bit of that fairytale. That "Can I kiss you?" & "I promised your mother I'd look after you." & "I care very much for you." -- they're so soft and romantic. Yeah, the world isn't as simple as it is in stories, but that doesn't mean that those magical, happy endings don't exist.

The CEO of Critical Role, everybody.

The one thing I thought i would never see, Laura/Jester speechless. What a great moment.

I love how at the exact moment that travis says "I pull her close", just from facial expressions you can translate everyone's thoughts: Travis: "I can't believe I'm doing this of fuck oh fuck oh fuck o-" Sam: "Hey now! Things are getting spicy here!" Liam: "Didnt expect him to do that, that's safe to say" Talisen: "Mah boi's going for it! Come on, Travis make us proud!" Matt: "Wow. Holy shit. He's initiated, I'm proud of him" Ashley: "ooooooooooooooooooooooo-" Marisha: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-" Laura: *"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH"*

Fjord gives Jester the unicorn: Marion is like, "Why hasn't he asked my daughter out yet?" This scene happens: Marion is like, "What took him so long?"

Leave this poor red boy alone, damnit. Lol

I have never been happier to listen to a man flirt with his wife. My heart exploded!!

They may not be my number 1 ship, but THIS IS SO ADORABLE!!! When he asked her "Can I kiss you?" I just melted... This is so sweet.

Look at how red Travis is.. LOL That makes it even better.

They guy who said he’d never get into romance roleplay INITIATED, that “character growth”!! 😂I died when he mentioned it wasn’t Fjord character growth but Travis 😂

Look at Matt, Sam, Ashley, and Marisha at 4:48. Their faces all change at the exact same moment when Travis says he pulls her in.

Laura is great at that, tried to make a joke to defuse the whole situation... but Travis had already taken that jump

Caleb is dying! It's sooooo beautiful. Really so many emotions! I love Travis growing so much and playing such a different character to grog.

4:51 is when he asks HOLY SHIT I haven't been keeping up since campaign 1 but these guys ARE CUUUUUUUTE

I cried when this happened :’) it just made me so happy

Its so funny how he is not only looking 100% at Laura becuase its natural to the scene, but also because thats the only way he is getting through it without blushing haha

I'm a nerdy graphic designer - and I did the math: Travis is exactly twice as red compared to 7:27 to 7:34. That's 7 seconds to go from normal to beet red. We love you Travis

Watching them both fall in love again is too cute

This is absolutely adorable. Does anyone know what Travis shouted at the end there? I couldn't catch it. Edit: Just figured it out. He said "stop looking at me".

I got into the Crit role when I was randomly recommended a talks machina fjorester comp and was so intrigued into what this was all about. 1 year and change later and hear I am :)

I was hoping someone would post this soon! Bless you

dude i am a hardcore widojest shipper but oh my GOD i am SQUUUUUEEEEEEING with joy right now!! that was so ding dang sweet and cute and wholesome and ahhhh!!! also am VERY proud of embarassedboi travis!!

I will say I'm disappointed as they weren't my main ship. But, the level some people got pissed that a real life married couple pretend kissed is mind boggling.

OMG Travis caved in, Laura won!!!!

I give Travis MAJOR props for being willing to step out of his comfort zone to do this (Also, I love Sam squeezing in the joke in the beginning but then letting the scene play out)

What i love is the fact that as this goes on you see everyone become absolutely, emotionally, involved in what's taking place

The way they all tease Trav after just, to me, shows how good of friends they all are. Its so funny. Also my ship is a sturdy ole girl, good to see her sailin'

"I don't sleep much" such a mood, im with ya buddy!

All I can think of is the song kiss the girl from little mermaid playing over this scene

Travis/Fjord plays this so well. Smooth operator. I wanted a fjord jester romance since the start of this campaign and I am so happy. Figured they would have great chemistry considering. Hopefully it continues and doesnt take too large of a backseat to everything else.

I like the juxtaposition between the vaxleth kiss in campaign 1 and this one. One is a declaration of love in front of the group after a pretty major fight, the other a small moment just between the two of them that only they know about.

Travis went from awkward Fjord to Alpha wolf Chetney...bahahaha

AHHHHHH!! 💙💙💚💚 MY SHIP HAS SAILED!!

8 minutes of Travis wooing his wife

So sweet that this was clearly as nerve-wracking for Travis as for Fjord, though for completely different reasons. Proud of them both for taking their respective risks!

It's funny how 118 it's also the number for calling the ambulance here in Italy, and that's exactly what I've done immediately after I saw this scene at home.

Fjordie and his Blue Healer 💙💚

I am one to admit that I ship Fjord & Jester more than I do Jester and Caleb, but I won't lie that my heart aches for Caleb now. My eyes went straight to Liam during this to see a glimpse of what may/may not be a Caleb reaction to it. Just a small inkling that Caleb may have a seeing crystal in his secret room so he could look into each of his friends and he watched this go down. Liam, however, went into his "Vax projective of Vex" look he would wear in Campaign 1 though. Now to comment on Travis now rp-ing a romance. I find it really sweet that his first time doing this is with Laura (his wife). I always thought he wouldn't do it because he would be uncomfortable. Having it with Laura, though it still makes him blush, allows him to just say "Hey! It's my wife. I can romance my wife." and he gets more comfortable with the idea.

ok but that pop up notification tho

I always like the moments where everyone's SUPER-SERIOUS with the role playing, and you think everyone's losing gaming energy for the day or just suddenly depressed... Then Sam breaks the ice with a single funny line.

It makes it that easier for them since they are a real life married couple. So their connection feels more genuine. Got to give it to Travis for this. He step it up and it really showed.

The “lovers lair” pop up was so perfect and unexpected, it killed me haha

THIS IS SO CUTE I'M CRYING AND OMFG HE'S SO RED AT THE END

I cracked up so hard at 6:46 as the email alert for the sex shop popped in and out really fast XD

That accidental pop-up at 6:48 is the perfect endcap to their conversation if you Google what kind of shop "Lover's Lair" is.

Liam looking at them like he's so proud

Travis is so cute when he's blushing 😁

This feels like a high school moment when they hangout with friends and the friends pretends to not listen and are smiling 4:50

Behold......the Ford Fjorester

That's so wholesome... Finally, finally, you guys....... 😭😭😭😭😭 I still have a lot of episodes to catch up, but I'm so happy!

Everybody's aww face is what sells it for me.

So Fjorester is happening, I think Shadowgast has potential to take off soon, but im DYING FOR BEAUYASHA TO REALLY KICK OFF

The most wholesome thing in this video is actually everyone having a fangirl moment when Fjord pulls Jester

When even Matt reacts visibly
