People who never have experienced DND think its nerd shit about pretending to be elves fighting dragons. People who have experienced DND know its nerd shit about taunting your friends into welding themselves into the front of a race car.

I don't think preventing scrying from Ligament Manor is going to prevent word of Fearnies transformation from getting to papa.

We probably won’t see it in great detail in the campaign itself, for a number of reasons (not the least of which is that this is a fade-to-black campaign that has to be Twitch-safe), but I’m just thinking about the symmetry of Laudna and Imogen and what it’s going to be like the first time they have sex (if ever, because it’s very possible for Laudna to be played as ace, which Imogen would of course respect, but just hypothetically and for no self indulgent reasons whatsoever).

They really mirror each other in such beautiful ways. They have a deeply intimate relationship built on years of comfort and trust and the safety that they find in each other. They are each other’s tether, and have the kind of emotional home in each other to have said so before they acknowledged these feelings.

These two women are absolutely reverent for each other.

They’ve been traveling together for at least two years. They went to a red light district together where they thought the tiefling girls and their tassels were pretty. Imogen canonically experiences the thoughts and feelings of the people around her, and experienced that in a red light district. We’ve known that for a year.  In the negative space between the things she said about it, that was all but an admission of Imogen having experienced attraction to the female body. In Laudna’s company. During the time they spent traveling alone together. And meta-character jokes aside, Imogen has expressed pretty clearly that she finds Vex’ahlia beautiful. The woman Matilda Bradbury was chosen to represent for her similar appearance. (I mean we all knew this girl was gay.)

And these are two women who were driven from their homes by traumatic experiences with strange magic. Both of their bodies are marked with the scars of what that magic has done to them, and how that magic has chased them away from the homes they used to have. Laudna by her hanging and resurrection at the Sun Tree, Imogen by the will of some god-devouring monster imprisoned in the Red Moon. They literally have a sun and moon parallel hard coded into their character designs. They found each other on the road and found a kinship that neither of them have known from anyone else, even with the rest of the Hells, though those relationships are significant to them in other ways.

I definitely think their relationship will be healthier for the fact that they HAVE met the rest of these people. Especially for Laudna to have that rock-steady friendship with Ashton, who is such a great source of stability and mutual respect and emotional wisdom for her. Both of them have known acceptance from other people now, but the profundity of that connection they share with each other is still so deeply special, and the rest of the Hells give them that perspective. They both have the potential to trend towards unhealthy codependency, especially in their isolation, if not for these other people around to keep them from falling. The M9 were thought of as a much more chaotic neutral party than Vox Machina and their heroes-of-the-world story. But Laudna and Imogen might be two of the most neutrally-aligned characters we’ve seen so far (except Fearne). Both of them have been burned by the world, and there’s a part of each of them that would let the world burn back if that’s what it took to protect each other. Their moralities could truly fall in any direction with the right circumstances.

They would follow each other into hell as long as they were together, but it’s better that Orym is there to remind Imogen that his family died at the hands of the people she’s not sure she disagrees with. Laudna and Imogen are practically MADE for each other, and everyone they’ve met on the road since has picked up on the force of that connection, but having friends around them will make their relationship better than it would have been if they were still living alone with no one to keep the darker side of each of them in check.

They are, despite the current circumstances, so much better off having their relationship go in this direction NOW, as opposed to during their time together pre-campaign, or without so much intra-party development behind them.

But that is where it all started: when they ran away together and made home after home, protecting each other and that connection above all else, fostering this bond that they have, rooting each other to the earth with pure, unconditional acceptance.

Imogen was the first person who didn’t run away or try to chase Laudna away with pitchforks. Laudna was the first person Imogen could hear as music, a soothing presence in a world of psychic noise. And they found a quiet, private peace in each other that neither of them believed they would ever have again. They ARE each other’s home. They give each other something that neither believed they could ever have.

That connection, that intimacy, brings each of them a kind of comfort and trust that they have never known from anyone else. There’s no one else that could make either of them feel so safe with someone else’s body. One dragged back to life by magic twice, and one so flooded with power that it runs across her skin like inflamed, bruised veins. And yet there’s no judgment either of them will ever have to fear from the other. There’s such a beautiful, comfortable intimacy and safety between them.

And I really think that’s going to translate into something magical.

So many soft, reverent touches. Laudna tracing those scars, Imogen feeling that slow but full heartbeat, hearing only music. Two bodies scarred in different ways by strange magic, finding the safety and comfort of home in each other.

They just fit.

I haven’t done CR meta in a while, but here we go... [CR Ep 63]

Wow what an episode (I’m not even quite done yet but I HAVE TO POST): I love how Bor’Dor presented Orym with a kinda dark mirror of himself - he lost people he cared about in the struggle, just as Orym lost his people.  And in response, Orym gives up the reminder he took of the humanity of his opponents.  “We are at war now”.  Also - his slow nod to Laudna as she gives into the darkness - CHILLS! I also loved how Bor’Dor’s kind of manic/scattered energy worked SO WELL for someone who has been radicalized and indoctrinated into a cult - like I can totally see how his erratic/unstable energy would have been channeled by the Ruby Vanguard.   And then Laudna’s choice.  It’s going to be so interesting - I feel like the group was so worried about Imogen going dark, but then when they reunite it’s Imogen whose going to find Laudna having chosen a darker path and I’m SO HERE FOR IT.  Marisha made such a difficult player choice, but in character it was SO RIGHT.  (Also I loved the beat after Bor’Dor expired where Matt makes eye contact with each player - I think he was checking in on each of them - likely checking for any signals/safety tools they are using would be my guess).  

Ashton’s “You’re not weak, you’re hurt” was a great moment to remember Taliesin is the king of poignant impactful one liners (a trait Ashton hasn’t gotten to express as much as Percy or Caduceus or Molly).  There’s already a lot on that line though already, so I won’t repeat what other people have to say.  

I’m having Deni$e and Prism thoughts too - but maybe I’ll finish the episode first before going too in depth.  Emily and Amy are both KILLING IT though.  Loved Amy’s choice to interrogate Bor’Dor - she really plays up Deni$e’s roguish saavy (and then when she goes into thief mode with the magic items was also great), and Emily’s portrayal of Prism’s confusion and naivete is so fun.  

I’ve been feeling a little unenthused with CR the last while, but this arc definitely has me back into it again - this episode especially!
