* When asked about Tiberius' siblings on Twitter, Orion explained that they all happen to have metallic colors, while Tiberius is a chromatic color. While that might be expected to cause some tension to the usual assumption of metallic = good and chromatic = evil, Orion says the siblings get on very well. We even see a touch of this in episode 10, where Tiberius sends a magical letter to his brother Jerahd asking for any clues about K'Varn, and Jerahd replies as soon as he can and is sincerely sorry when he can't help his brother out.
** Tiberius' love for his siblings is only emphasized in episode 21, where a threat upon them is the first thing in the show to drive him to legitimate ''rage''.
* The sheer outpouring of love and support from the fandom. For instance, doubling as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}, when the initial run of t-shirts was announced live on the stream, they sold out ''before the announcement finished.''
* Ashley making a surprise appearance for the San Diego Comic-Con panel -- as far as everyone else knew, she was in New York recording her show. TearsOfJoy [[https://youtu.be/dmVRd-sTxm4?t=154 all around.]]
* Starting June 19th, most of the cast and crew were away at E3, or recovering from it. During the rebroadcast marathon, viewership at times still reached 1500+ people. That shows that the fans are so dedicated to Critical Role. It's safe to say that Critter Love runs deep.
* [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFyIsp7WMAABCk8.jpg This piece of fanart]] showing Tiberius and Keyleth's friendship by Kit Buss, who provided the official art of the characters.
** ...along with [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CF9o68_WAAMyVOL.jpg this one]] with Grog and Pike.

''rage''.



* The fans rallying around Orion when he revealed that he'd been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing treatment. Similarly, support poured in from all corners for Liam when Critters found out that one of his family members had the disease. Orion has expressed his gratitude multiple times, and Liam did the same in a few [[https://twitter.com/VoiceOfOBrien/status/654807093581447169 very]] [[https://twitter.com/VoiceOfOBrien/status/654807143191724032 touching]] [[https://twitter.com/VoiceOfOBrien/status/654807191640080384 tweets]].
* After Orion announced he was leaving the show in Episode 29, he received a mass outpouring of support from the fanbase.
* The Critmas videos that show all the fan stuff that the Critical Role fans send them and all the heartfelt letters and how much each gift and letter individually means to the entire group. The Critical Role players love every little thing they get no matter what it is and someone usually ends up so touched they cry and often say they don't think they're worthy but they love it all.
* At Christmas in 2015, Liam surprised the entire cast with [[http://geekandsundry.com/one-last-present-for-you-critical-role-fan-art-gallery/ a gallery of fanart from various volunteer artists on Twitter]]. Everyone was very touched and shocked...and then he [[http://geekandsundry.com/critical-role-fan-art-gallery-love-is-in-the-air/ did it AGAIN for Valentine's Day]].
* It was revealed in a Q&A that Liam asked Matt before he revealed that Vax had feelings for Keyleth if it was alright since Matt and Marisha were dating and he didn't want it to be weird. Naturally, Matt was fine with it and it shows how much everyone trusts one another.
** In relation to that, during an episode of ''Talks Machina'', [[https://youtu.be/UnYW64_YNwg?t=1h1m36s Marisha told the reason why Keyleth herself started having feelings for Vax: because he stood up for her and her beliefs]].



* Before/during Momo Con 2016, [[https://youtu.be/pyEeQhn8KaQ?t=1h5m40s there's this example of how much Matt loves the community.]]
* Matt's reassurances to the fandom after they express concern for Gilmore in the wake of Episode 57. He just asks them to have faith and trust that he wouldn't resort to the tired BuryYourGays trope. And he rewards that faith in a BIG way in the following episode.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC8ZtRi_xGo This Periscope with Matt sharing the story of how he proposed to Marisha.]] [[https://youtu.be/UdVn0xvnBf8 And the footage of it he posted for their third wedding anniversary.]]



* [[https://twitter.com/laurabaileyvo/status/1243724572538462208?s=21 This video of Travis having a play argument with Ronin]] is both this and funny, and so stinking cute!

* The existence of the Critical Role Foundation in and of itself is sweet, especially the cast's palpable joy at having the kind of platform that ''allows'' them to run an associated charitable foundation. The cherry on top is the way the Mighty Nein's rallying cry has crossed into the real world in the foundation's official motto: To [[DueToTheDead leave the world better than we found it]].



* Also really awesome, but on Trans Visibility Day in 2021, [[https://twitter.com/matthewmercer/status/1377317278937538561?s=20 Matt revealed]] that Yussa, Khemdal, Kotho, Duasad, and Olesya are all transgender, and that he's never revealed them in-story simply because he wants to be respectful about it. He said that Bryce was "[[https://twitter.com/matthewmercer/status/1377318628240977922?s=20 happy to give the spotlight]]" to the binary trans people, acknowledging that many nonbinary people/enby folx do not identify as trans.
