Can we please talk about how well Liam built up Caleb's crush on Jester? Like, there are constant points in the show where Caleb does something very small to show his crush on her without making it overtly obvious, like whenever Jester us sad or down, Caleb has Frumkin go up to jester and snuggle her, not giving frumkin to her directly but making it seem like something frumkin does naturally. Or whenever jester talks about the traveller or her early life living at the brothel, Caleb always shows some form of concern for Jester. Liam's subtlety in crafting Caleb's crush on Jester is what makes, in my opinion, Widojest better than the other ships.
That it is so natural and small compared to the others is why I prefer Widojest over Fjorester. Would Laura even be going for that one if she hadn't decided that she was going to romance the crap out of Fjord during character creation?
For one of his transmutation circles he drew a little jester on the side, it was really subtle but rewatching the season knowing about the crush it was just great.
Caleb, I think, is slowly getting Jester to fall in love with him. It's likely not intentional, since Caleb doesn't feel like he deserves to be happy, but his true nature is reflected in how he treats Jester.
@@popularopinion1 I think the conversation in Darktow was Jesters "pebble". But I think she really started on Ep77. But the second Caleb dropped the line "I'm the transmutation wizard, but you're the one who changes people." and did the Major Image Lollipops and Hamster Unicorns she was smitten.
Despite knowing that Fjorester will probably end up being canon (since Laura is gunning for making Travis participate in an in-game romance), I'm still wholeheartedly a supporter of Widojest. They just fit so dang well. You can tell that she, more than any of the others in the party, is able to make him forget about all the horrible things in his past and that's something he really needs. Maybe something that, if he's got a powerful enough reason to, can get him to move beyond any plans he may have for crazy time-travel shenanigans... Digression aside - I REALLY liked this. Very well made, and all the fan art made my shipping heart squee.
And He is the only one I can think of that understands Jester. He tries to keep her from her more insane plans but only out of care. But he sees past her outer shell in a way the others dont. He was the first to see through her facade after Lorenzo, and when they met Marian he was watching Jester to make sure she was OK through it all. Regardless. Part of it is I dont like to think of how he would feel if Jester chose someone else. He would outwordly be fine with it but I feel like he would only say he was right all along. He doesnt deserve this. So it wont go to him. Like Gilmore but without the nearly unshakable confidence.
(Warning for possible spoilers)Despite Laura trying to get Travis to take part in a romance in their table top game, He mentions in Talks Machina that he will never participate in a romance in game even. Despite being put in a few hard places in this campaign, he seems to still hold on to that strong of a conviction of no romance. Which leaves room for hopefully a Jester and Caleb relationship to blossom and grow.Lately, Fjord is still not convinced that the Traveller is not that great for Jester but Caleb is taking her side and always checking on her to make sure she is okay with everything going on, especially with preparations for Traveller Con. While the M9 is helping Jester to go through with this, Caleb is using everything at his disposal to make this Con the best thing for Jester. Yes Fjord is checking on her as often as Caleb, but he seems a bit distracted with his background. Jester makes Caleb feel vulnerable in a sense and they both understand each other so perfectly. Plus I believe that Caleb will try to get Astrid to leave the Cerburus Assembly but I feel like she won't do so breaking Caleb's heart. I'm rooting for Widowjest from here on out.
@@DavidGonzalez_97 he said that WAY early on though. Lately, especially that last trip to Nicodranas, he's been low-key going with it. Like Fjord and Jester kinda having a date while the others weren't around the night of that party. I hope you're right, I REALLY do. I'd love for there to be a thing where Astrid turns on Caleb midfight, and then after he's distant and inconsolable until Jester talks to him and they have a big moment where the two end up getting together... but I just don't know...
@@pyrosianheir I also hope it plays out how we want it. I have always rooted for those who feel like they were "uselessly in love." Maybe because I know that feeling all to well. All we can do is wait and see how the story affects and shape the Nein and what actions they take going forward to adapt to all of it.
@@DavidGonzalez_97 yup! Well, that and remembering that it's their game, and we're not entitled to our ship being the canon one. XD haven't really seen that be a problem in CR, but as a weeb? I see it SOOOO MUCH.
I’m more of a GIVE MY SAD WIZARD BOI A HAPPY ENDING after the lastest talks Caleb is shooting through the sky bright as hell. (And it feels like Jester is noticing Caleb ALOT more recently)
Tbh first time I listened to an Elilish song from beginning to end. But I absolutely love this ship. Someone who couldn't grow up, and someone forced to grow up. It really hits home. Great editing!
It's been a year since campaign two ended, but I'm still not over this two. And to be honest, I don't think I ever will. Their connection just speaks to something in the core of my being.
"I had a dream. I got everything I wanted.And if I'm being honest It might've been a nightmare." The lyrics just fit so well. I really wasn't a Jester Caleb shipper, UNTIL NOW!
I saw it the moment they danced as did many, and I got so much side-eye my my ship crazy friends as someone who never pushes such things. Damn do I feel validated watching this xD. I am so much more fascinated by the unlikely coming together than the predictable path. Life doesn't makes sense and these two to me really feel like the pair you'd never expect, but makes perfect sense if you sit down and actually evaluate.
Listening to this song I definitely see Caleb's perspective more than Jester's because I truly believe that Caleb needs her more than she needs him at this point because honestly it seems like she has the pic of the table but I love it it's beautiful it represents perfectly what Jester and Caleb ship is💕
i saw this in my sub box and i went "oH SHIT" at the thumbnail and put a hand over my mouth in pure excitement. and i tapped on it without looking at your username, and as the page loaded, i legit thought "godd.. if this shiftychaos im going to scream--" aND IT WAS!! ITS YOU!!!! i originally found your channel via critrole edits, and i saw your username and started flapping my arms and making some incoherent gasping noises with my mouth im told sounds "like a dying fish" but like. a fish dying from happiness?? just. i paused the video 4 seconds in just to let you know how fucking excited i am. im so excited. all i've done today is be responsible and do chores and work on stuff i wanted to drag my feet on, and this just made my day!! thank you so much for this gift!!! i hope you and your gf have a great week! thank you again!!! ♡♡♡
This is gorgeous. To that "I'm not crying, you're crying," you are absolutely correct. This stunning AMV made me cry. Bless your soul, this is amazing.
This is so well done I just keep coming back to it over and over again. I love how the song fits both of them so well, relaying equally the depth of each character. Btw the song Impossible by Nothing But Thieves (orchestra ver.) I think works really well for Caleb's feelings towards Jester.
I'M crying is right... this brought into perspective my own feelings of not wanting to show everyone around me how fucking depressed I am, and that was Jester after being taken by the Iron Shepherds and subsequently saved, she's all happy and has to keep up that facade or else everyone else will be depressed. ...Is her thoughts. And mine :(
i love this video so much, i ship widojest so hard, and i feel like it's never gonna actually happen but one can hope right? but what episode is that quote from? i keep trying to find it but i honestly have no reference point on where this would be lol
You know, I thought about shipping each pair off..but then....I realized, let them just be a big loving family, after all....it would of made Molly smile, to see them all so close, one big happy close family. Oh, that would be glorious, he is able to see them one last time, as a ghost or maybe as a undead...only Caduceus would detect him, as he nods to him, and Molly goes off, to live a new or old life...or he passes on fully. That and I ship Buea Jester and Caleb together. Sue me if that's weird.
Spoilers ahead: Anyone else just going through different Widojest stuff to drown their sorrows after what felt like No-Mercy Percy unloading into the ship last week?
@@itsdonny805 I know, I wasn't invested in Percilia or Vaxlith, but this one I wanted. Forejester is so forced, literally, Laura said she was going to make her husband play out a D&D romance.
@@kileaf theyre all listed in the description in order of appearance, but heres a direct link fed-red.tumblr.com/post/180419937079/oh-boy-whos-ready-for-next-week#notes
Can someone tell me what episode Jester casts the wand of smiles on herself? Part of me fears I missed it, while the other part wants to see what pushed her to do this.
if i recall correctly, she didnt actually use it on herself. but the art was from episode 45, after being rescued from slavery, and losing molly, and barely surviving the happy fun ball, she kept pretending she was alright. the artist just thought the wand made for a good metaphor.
I'm of mixed feelings in this ship... It's absolutely one of the most adorable pairings in the M9, they would be undeniably cute together. I'm not sure though that I can ship Caleb with anyone right now though. Man has some serious (justifiable) emotional baggage he needs to work through first. It's not that jester couldn't help him with it, but it isn't a fair or healthy thing to bring into a romance. (Imo ofc)
rahveel it’s a very similar dynamic to Percy and Vex. I can definitely see it progressing if Laura decides to pursue that line of RP because it’s very clear that Caleb has already tremendously progressed compared the episode 1.
as someone with severe adhd, i started campaign 2 last summer and i finally caught up last week, and frankly it was the best decision i ever made, just try starting episode 1 of the second campaign, and if you like it keep watching! it’s a special experience and honestly one of my favorite things in my life right now is the little family ive made with the CR cast. everyone of them is so special, funny, and unique, i know you won’t regret starting just one episode! try it!
Personally I don't understand shipping whatsoever. And how the community reacted to Fjorester recently has turned me off of the idea even more. People getting legitimately angry that their imaginary relationship doesn't happen

im still not over this, i loved their dynamic and the only reason i still breathe is Ao3 lol

This is so beautifully done 😭❤️
this reminds me of my girlfriend with me,and it brings a smile . thanks for lighting my spirit up
thank you for my life

Soooooo Fjord finally kissed her.........rip Widojest?
Great job on the video. Still I think fjord and jester are a better fit.
Personally I don't understand shipping whatsoever. And how the community reacted to Fjorester recently has turned me off of the idea even more. People getting legitimately angry that their imaginary relationship doesn't happen
people having strong reactions to shows is normal. its entertainment, people get to enjoy it however they want.
