Today's pic is Jester's hands holding a blueberry cupcake, for Deidre's prompt of "sweets"!

For those who haven’t watched (Campaign 2 of) Critical Role, this moment is iconic to the campaign and pretty much Critical Role at large. The Mighty Nein are in the hut of the fearsome hag Isharnai, who put a curse on Nott turning her into a goblin. The hag thrives on misery, so to remove the curse, Isharnai demands a sacrifice that will cause more misery. Jester, the fun (and sweets) loving blue Tiefling cleric, offers the hag her hands, but asks to share one final cupcake, with her own hands before others will have to feed her for the rest of her life. (Imagine the other players starting to get more and more panicky as they think this is really what Jester will do). Laura, the player, describes how she breaks the cupcake, and almost casually drops that she sprinkled it with Dust of Deliciousness, a minor magical item she has had for years at that point and that even Matt, the DM, has forgotten. She reminds him that it gives the one that eats it disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws, and goes on to cast "modify memory" on the hag. The hag fails her saving throw, and Jester modifies her memory to think they became such good friends that Isharnai promised to remove the curse on Jester just because she liked her so much. Jester keeps her hands, Nott is turned back into a halfling, and they part ways with Isharnai very amicably.

It's role playing at its absolute best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2SAkGjgZSY
