You wanna know what's crazy? Now knowing that Laura and Marisha didn't plan to be romantic this campaign at all, it is INSANE that everything went so perfectly, thematically, exactly the way it did.

The series of events from the rock breaking, Dusk showing up RIGHT as it was happening, to them making up just so Otohan could show up and kill Laudna not a DAY later literally because she wanted to get on Imogen's nerves ("Is she your favorite?"). And then Imogen obliterating Delilah with her own fucking hands for Laudna. Getting the circlet. Laudna holding Imogen on the ship they were about to crash having that Tether Talk^tm just before they were separated ONCE AGAIN.

Just the entire escalation that led to them meeting in Jrusar that day and Imogen blurting out "Can I kiss you?" in the mfing BREAD ISLE because she couldn't hold back her feelings is BONKERS.

Even down to Imogen saying she "thought dates were supposed to have sparks" after their date with pretty and telling Laudna she "has the biggest spark she's ever seen" a long ass time later in Bassuras.

The evolution of their feelings for each other, the tension that was building on that table every time they talked to each other. The fact that it all happened serendipitously with absolutely no previous plan and it went just the way it did? Immaculate. Showstopping. Absolutely astounding. If Marisha, Matt and Laura had sat down and planned this whole thing from the beginning it still couldn't have gone more perfectly.

#ya authors would sell their soul to the devil to create a story like this #meanwhile marisha and laura just stumbled all the way down a mountain into the most amazing soulfated wonderful slowburn romance ever?? #iconic #absolutely some spectacular shit #critical role #cr spoilers #cr3 #imogen temult #laudna #critical role spoilers #imodna #bells hells #critical role c3 #southerngothic #southern gothic #imogen x laudna

two and a half years of mutual pining and sharing a bed and their first kiss is in the goddamn bread aisle is actually the gayest way this could have happened tbh, that’s the grade a lesbianism we deserve

I’m just gonna say it, I wish the people who hate Essek with a troubling intensity and violence would grow a spine and actually directly say they hate the character Mercer created and his storytelling choices for that character instead of doing that awkward thing where they try to hate on the character by acting like he just manifests in the narrative spontaneously and outside of the control of the DM and players

#cr discourse #critical role #I’m just so sick of it like be honest and admit you think Matt’s choices suck #and Liam’s choices suck for having Caleb romance him #and Laura sucks for getting excited he showed up #grow a spine and grow up #also it’s ok to reblog this I can’t be the only one feeling this way #hate a character all you want but just be honest #cr spoilers

I know this is old hat to just about everyone, but I'm more and more enjoying Imogen and Laudna as not just a mirror of the Briarwoods but also, and perhaps even more so, as a foil.

Laudna may be the death magic goth with a necromancer in her head, but out of the two of them, Imogen is the stronger mirror of Delilah. She’s the one with the undead lover, the one prepared to break the world by risking Delilah's return as long as it got her Laudna back, the one with the drive and the thirst for power and knowledge. Laudna meanwhile, while also tempted by power, is mostly just along for the ride, deeply devoted to Imogen over anything or anyone, alive only because Imogen found a way to resurrect her. They have looked each other in the eye, recognised the same seeds of darkness and the possibility of giving in, and said 'Together either way'.

But they are also in many ways a direct subversion of the Briarwoods. Delilah and Sylas both seemed perfectly happy to have made a pact with Vecna and revelled in the power he granted them, even knowing the disaster he would bring and the horrific acts he asked of them. Imogen and Laudna meanwhile, while tempted by power and openly voicing said temptation to each other, actively fight against it. Imogen was prepared to risk Delilah's return for the sake of Laudna's resurrection, but she would've fought her every step of the way. She's tempted by the power and knowledge of Ruidus, but also prepared to give all of it up if it means saving the world, because unlike Delilah she chooses to care about people other than herself and her lover. Laudna may be prepared to follow Imogen into hell itself, but she may also be what would lead her back out, because unlike Sylas she doesn’t just recognise darkness in her lover, she wants to fight it alongside her.

This is what I mean when I say these two hold the potential for great darkness. They wouldn’t function as a mirror and a foil of the most romantically iconic critical role villain duo if they didn't. But holding the potential for darkness and corruption also means holding the potential to resist and fight said darkness at every turn. It gives them the potential to choose kindness and struggle while still keeping a little bit of that darkness in their hearts, because without it, they never would have found each other.

#critical role #imogen temult #laudna #cr3 spoilers #imodna #southern gothic #cr3 #i still get weirded out by the way large swaths of shippers will happily compare imodna to the briarwoods because #'ooh romance and aesthetic and breaking the world for each other ~~' #and yet will completely lose their shit when someone actually engages with the darker aspects of their characters #and talks about their relationship as anything other than perfect and fluffy and supportive #guys. the potential darkness is what makes them interesting. it's where the flavor comes from. embrace it #I'm hoping for more moments where they give in a little to that dark the way laudna did when killing bor'dor #i mean laura even said last 4sd that imogen very well might next time because she Wants To Know!! #please go there miss bailey I'm begging it would be such an interesting turn for both imogen and laudna! #delilah briarwood #sylas briarwood #nella talks cr

Honestly Laudna freaking out that Imogen pretty much vanished isn’t actually surprising.

Unlike Imogen (who had that week where Laudna was dead), the longest that Laudna’s been apart from Imogen was during the Solstice - part of which she spent not even knowing Imogen was alive and then being horrendously traumatised.

They haven’t left each other’s side since reuniting and suddenly Imogen disappeared without her notice. I am entirely unsurprised she freaked out a bit.

Are they a bit unhealthily attached to each other? Sure. But also they were like that before.

#critical role #cr3 #cr spoilers #c3e70 #they just got a slightly new flavour #where they’re now navigating romance and also laudna’s new trauma that imogen wasn’t there for #this feels par for the course really #they’re obsessed with each other and unconcerned about it and so am i #laudna #imogen temult #imodna

marisha said laura I see your GET THE GIRL motivation and I raise you KEEP THE GIRL

#cr lb #4 sided dive #marisha thinking she can pull a vax style doomed romance #as if she forgot vex undemoned perc and jester helped fjord with his squid #laudna I Know Doomed vs imogen Not With Me #I absolutely love the conviction of a cataclysmic belief like it's juicy because it does remind me of vax's conviction #though one is obviously rooted in insecurity but really you can't. Make someone get over that #so it would be like really interesting if this is actually going to be an ongoing conflict #because like laudna finding imogen and imogen falling for her and that love and comfort happening #and laudna Still believes she's such a dead end for Sure definitely maybe you get over it maybe you Don't #so it's like Something drastic has to happen for that to change either side and something would Have to

[pocketgalaxies]

fjord asking jester who she thinks should get the healing potions he found and offering her the greater one even though he doesn't have any himself because "you always look out for everybody" and she says "you keep it for yourself, and when you take it, just think of it as a spell from me okay?" ;~;

i gotta be real the fact that imodna WAS intended to be strictly platonic for SO LONG but the spirits of the characters just possessed them and went YOU SHOULD KISS makes me like the ship more actually

#like maybe it’s just me being aro and cautious about ship stuff #but it feels nice to know i wasn’t like. stupid. for missing the Mystical Romance Signs or whatever #also it makes it funnier. which we all know. is the criteria for me to start shipping something #cr #cr3 #crshipping #imodna
