And the one time she doesn’t have to leave she wins. Legendary.

Wait. Laura left the award show because she was afraid someone was going to use her DICE?! Respect, Laura. Respect.

TRAVIS STARING AT LAURA LIKE SHE'S EVERYTHING AND HER SAYING "HI BABY" IN THE SWEETEST WAY POSSIBLE AND TRAVIS SAYING "HI YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL" IT'S SO WHOLESOME

can you imagine if she had won though? and the Game Awards pans over to an empty seat, everyone's confused as to where she went, until someone stands up in the crowd and holds up their phone "she's currently on Twitch playing DnD!"

Game Awards: _exist_ Laura: “Fuck this, I have better places to be.”

I am FUMING that she didn't get to leave early this year and give an acceptance speech from the Critical Role set, what a flex that would be

If Laura had a nickel for every time she had left game awards early in order to play d&d with her friends, she would have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

Travis's reactions BOTH times she comes into the room is GOLDEN no wonder he fell in love with her again in the campaign

“I heard you were using my dice” “How’d you get here so quick?” “There was no traffic” translation: I made them move Sam was touching my dice.

Everyone... respectfully.... checking out Laura is the best haha

I hope to one day find a girl to stare at the same way Travis stares at Laura

I'm sorry I just noticed how in the first clip when Laura lifted her leg up, Travis immediately reached down to help her take her heels off. True love right there.

Respect the commitment..... to the clearly more important thing

As much as it’s ‘priorities’, I’m sure Matt is super flattered that one of his players wants to play so much :). Very high compliment to the DM

Taliesin reacting to his on-graph-paper wife and Travis reacting to his *actual* wife, so wonderful. Everyone is married to Laura (except Liam because she’s his on-graph-paper sister).

Travis being dumbfounded by how beautiful she is, after all this time, is a mood.

wait she left twice? damn she really likes d&d XD

Lol " some sort of Mad person" to refer to Mads is genius

twitter telling her that sam was messing with her dice was the best

Taliesin's first reaction is great. But his second reaction is so legitimate: "Oh my GOD." Also, Travis' boyish little "... you look beautiful." is the most wholesome shit.

I think my favorite thing (aside from the obvious Travis being madly in love with his wife) is when Sam says "jester was robbed of something!" And he makes the "mad" joke and Matt just gives him this calm but panicked look of "oh god please don't actually say it. Please don't accidentally start something. Please don't say his name"

Jester's just been ROBBED of something!

Get you a partner who looks at you the way the cast of Critical Role looks at Laura Bailey

I just imagine the camera panning to her seat and Khary is there like: "Yea, she went to play DnD, but hell, I'll take it."

It's so cute Laura doesn't want to miss D&D night, the only time I remember she missed was because she was legit giving birth .

.......she won 2020 though. Would've been hilarious if she had to give the acceptance speech ina critical role episode.

I hope one year she wins and she's just at a dnd session

Been there, done that - I skipped my high school graduation party (not mine personally, but the one that the school hosted for the entire class) in order to go to my regular Friday-night gaming. My parents and I went to the graduation ceremony in separate cars, and then I left straight from there.

She looked sad for a quick second before she was like “nah, you guys are more important.”

My GAWD when Laura coos at Travis with the “Hi beyyby” I swear my heart melts every time. Those two are so adorkable and in love it’s amazing we all don’t have cavities from watching them.

This is a good posting. Laura doesn't let her ego get in the way of enjoying a good game of DnD with her best friends. And she dresses so well when she has to go out for awards. Travis is a lucky man to have a smart, talented wife and as others have said, won best performance for Abby in Last of Us 2!!

I love Travis' face both times she walks in like "I'm a lucky dude." lmao

i still think it wouldve been kind of awesome to have the camera zoom in on her empty seat in the audience, had she won last year -.-

Travis' sincere little "You look beautiful" is just so sweet and adorable #marriagegoals

They should stop putting the Game Awards on Thursdays, haven't they learned by now? xD

okay, I know we all love Travis' reaction to his wife in THAT black dress, but can we please also focus on everyone else's reaction? Especially Sam?? I don't think I've ever seen him go speechless with mouth open like that.

“Hey, Ashyyyyy!~” “Oh hello, Lauraa!~” Too adorable!!!

We didn’t get a third one, but we did get a potential Bailey-Willingham-Johnson-Foster wedding.

I love how travis cant control himself from grinning ear to ear each time and that little voice crack when he says "you look beautiful" it kills me everytime 🤣

Sam gawking at Laura's hotness and immediately turning to look at Travis like "god DAMN" will never not be funny to me

My favourite part of this is how awestruck Travis is when Laura walks in looking all pretty.

1:15 Tal's "oh my GOD" was my exact reaction, too. Like ..... Damn Laura

I love how Travis turns into a fourteen-year-old boy with a crush both times when his wife walks into the room. His face is so adorable.

Wow everyone needs friends who will hype you up when you’re all dressed up like they do for her

"You look beautiful" LOOK AT THIS MAN COMPLIMENTING HIS WIFE

The way Travis looks at his wife with love and admiration is so cute 😍😍😍

Travis’ expression especially on Laura’s second entrance is just…it’s everything you hope for in a partner. He doesn’t even appear to notice Sam’s joke at first, he’s just so mesmerized by Laura. You can literally see his brain going ‘Holy hell, I am the luckiest man alive’. It’s so sweet, and gives me hope for humanity.

I aspire to be Laura Bailey cool Getting to be nominated for awards, going to the award show... Just to DIP OUT to play with my friends live! That is S Tier in my mind... My family would kill me

Travis reaction to seeing his wife lookin so nice is absolutely adorable! And the way she says “hi baby” is adorable too. What a great couple!

Knowing laura would rather play dnd with her friends than be present to win an award warms my heart

LOL... She got nominated that still goes on her resume. Cheers to priorities!

"You just left??!" Best line

I ADORE travis’ reaction when she walks in all glammed up like he is so damn in love with her and it’s adorable

Man, Laura's a real one. Games with friends over award shows 100% (also, Travis' reactions are utterly adorable. Such wholesome, much dopamine

My sister and I competed in an annual talent show in college every year to help me get over my stage fright. One year, the show was the night before a big final for a class I struggled with, so right after we performed we left to “study”. A half hour later my phone blows up with people asking where we are because apparently we won first place (first time ever winning anything ever) and they were waiting for us to come up and accept the award. I know this isn’t nearly as high profile as the game awards, but I’m glad Laura didn’t have to miss her moment if she had won.

Travis falling in love all over again each time she enters the room is priceless

Honestly seeing Travis blush at the sight of his wife and the way Laura calls him baby... Makes me believe in love.

"Wait Laura isn't here? Quick get the other envelope so we don't have to explain on stage how she ditched us to play D&D."

Okay, Can I just say that I would like to have Tal hype me up the way he does Laura. He's super genuine in his admiration it's so NICE

1:32-1:36 makes my heart explode every time I see it. I love them so much.

This goes to show what this game means to this group. They really do play this game for fun and to hangout with friends. We are so lucky they allow us to come along for the ride and watch their sessions.

This clip lives rent free in my brain I love Travis' expressions aaaaaaaa

For the first clip, you gotta keep in mind that CR wasn't as big as it is today. She just left cause she wanted to play

1:33 I've never heard a more tender thing than the way Travis told Laura she looks beautiful 😭 ♥

The part that the chat let her know the winner went over my head, thank you for pointing it out!!!

I love Taliesin's reaction both times, he's almost offended by how good she looks, lol

Just love the way Travis looks at her when she comes in, they’re such a cute couple

Mercer's face at 1:41 - absolute gold.

"Did you just say 'Briorities'?" "/Briorities/."

I love all of the reactions when she comes in❤️

I fucking love how Laura comes in the first time, looks Travis dead in the eye and then shows him her butt, that's true love

1:10 - Travis's mind is blown

If I had a nickel for every time Laura Bailey ditched the Game Awards to play D&D, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't alot but it's weird that it happened twice.

This is one of the reasons I miss live episodes, we'll never get another moment of genuine surprise and spontaneity like this again

I wish upon every star to be as happy a married man as Travis is every time seeing his wife making an entrance. Also, Marisha's little "ok, enough channeling Beau" at 1:25 is big mood.

Laura: there was no traffic **cut to the giant funnel of fire and crashed cars from when she sped through traffic to play DND**

I have been dying from Travis’s ‘you look beautiful’ from the second clip for entirely too long.

That second outfit is - I mean both are - but that SECOND ONE AHH, SOO BADASS AND BEAUTIFUL AT THE SAME TIME!

She is a winner. Playing with her family❤❤

1:15 Travis's face is great he looks just so star struck. "That's the mother of my son"

When Sam showed Laura that she didn’t win, he was more pissed than she was. True friendship

Let's just appreciate how everyone is in awe because she is so beautiful

Man I really love these guys so much.

the energy needed to show up at the game awards, get the free food then leave, saying "sorry gotta go play DND".

1:10 Travis’ face is so good he’s all like “That’s my wife and she’s hit right now” I love that

This always makes me smile. She's such a badass.

She is leaving a award show early just to play DnD, while my friends cant make it to the sessions cause they couldnt get out of bed

Gotta say, the glow up from their initial days as Critical Role and that point in Campaign 2 is just amazing. So proud of these guys :3

Man, if only she had won, could you imaging how freaking funny this clip would have turned out? XD

Travis looks so stunned, every time Bless them

Her love and respect for the people at Critical role is truly so sweet literally leaves an award show just for them Mad respect 🙏🏻

The more of this I watch the more I love these guys.

i love that she said "hi buddies" both times

I love her, she is so cool beautiful and funny. Plus I think it is just amazing how she prioritizes friends over rewards!

If I could choose, I too would spend an evening listening to Matthew Mercer vividly describing a fantasy realm he explicitly created for me and a close group of friends over literally anything else

Find someone who will look at you like Travis looks at Laura ❤❤ and friends who will cheer you on for looking fancy 💜💜

Ugh the way Travis loves his wife what goals

Laura looked stunning both times. Wow. 🥰

Gotta love the look of complete awe Travis has on his face when laura walks in on two completely different occasions

Dedication @ its finest!
