I keep thinking of Laudna dreaming about her and Imogen living in a cottage and then waking up and weeping the loss all over again.

there is something so, so devastating to me about imogen having spent the past weeks utilizing how much like her mother she appears to be as a way for the hells to gain intel and slip past different situations but how significantly her like . relvin vibes have increased in the past couple episodes. and of course we only have the one interaction with him but the temult dynamic is one of the ones that spins my brain around in knots. there is something very juicy to me about an imogen who can’t escape her mother’s fate because she looks like her spitting image and has her same powers and who can’t escape her father’s fate because she’s also powerless watching the woman she loves disappear.

like relvin in that visit is of course walled off and he’s decades down the road of having seen the woman he loves disappear into the unknown of her powers and what we got of his response to liliana and the idea of helping imogen save her wasn’t unlike imogen’s recent response to laudna. his comment that he always figured that liliana would realize gelvaan wasn’t the place for her, he just also hoped they’d go together when she left is like the domestic small town mirror of imogen’s illogical but real griefguilt about leaving laudna alone by fighting against predathos. i mean relvin specifically brings up that he doesn’t know if liliana was lying to him the whole time about her powers or if she didn’t know either, “it’s a lot to take in at once. you think you know someone, there’s a whole part of their life that they just been keeping secret from you. i was angry. i’m still angry. but you know, a little part of me wants to believe she was just doing it to protect you.“ a sentiment echoed by imogen’s responses to laudna the past few episodes.

and at the end of that gelvaan visit, relvin speaking up enough to tell imogen to “tell her…” but not having anything to say. because liliana made her choice and he knows his words didn’t mean anything before. imogen just watching as laudna shoves a dagger into her own chest, imogen telling her “i’ll always love you, laudna. i just don’t know what to do with it.”

god, in general, imogen who grew up knowing that love isn’t enough. that love is important and it’s a lot, but not enough. relvin and imogen standing with a chasm of grief and a silver locket between them and “i never want you to be afraid of me, daddy” “me neither.” and laudna’s “i don’t like people being mad at me.” and imogen’s “i know.”

because imogen is her father’s daughter. like absolutely with anger at him and complexity in that relationship but silly little cowboy jokes aside, the values imogen expresses are ones that — when not ones born of her experiences with her powers — seem very much contextualized by her upbringing. i mean the ideal life that she dreamt of and dismissed with laudna someday when the apocalypse is over is a small cottage with some horses. relvin lives in a farmhouse furnished for one.

i’ve talked before about how For Me the most fruitful lens for viewing imogen’s story is one of generational trauma, and i think the reasons for that re: liliana are obvious. but i also think that being raised by someone who isn’t privy to the intricacies of whatever haunts their spouse enough that it’s been passed down is another sort of fucked up legacy and i am truly delighted/sorrowed by how messily and interestingly imogen sits at the intersection of these dual temult legacies; one of leaving and one of being left.

they're giving "Madam Temult and her Lady Bradbury, circa 843 PD" that i just had to.

character arts by @ agarthanguide.

i cope by engaging with the whimsy.

if they can't have a little cottage then i say let them have an estate. imogen should become a large proprietor in the countryside much like her former employer and let laudna become the noble lady that she's always wanted to be.

I just realized. Usually, after something so intense like c3 episode 51, the party gets to huddle up and lick wounds. Bells Hells got split up. Some people joined, then left. More importantly, fucking Bor'dor happened.

I can't believe I forgot about that. Imogen, Fearne, Chetney, and FCG freed a celestial bull or something. There was pvp but no one died, and the resolution was romance.

Orym, Laudna, and Ashton were deceived by someone who appeared to be a friend but turned out to be malicious. Followers of gods were doing bad things, too. Laudna looked to Orym, he nodded for the kill, and Laudna went one step further to suck the life out of Bor'dor for trying to kill them.

The party split actually explains so much about the current Bells Hells dynamic. Orym wants desperately to trust but believes he can't and shouldn't, not completely. Laudna thinks the world is trying to kill her, which is flawed but not preposterous.

Ashton admittedly is more guilty than self-destructive after he nearly killed himself, but has recently gotten confirmation through FCG's sacrifice that they couldn't save a self-destructive friend. It's a mindfuck. (I mean at least Ashton doesn't think they will be abandoned anymore?)

Orym tried to give up his life and freedom to guarantee their party's survival, and he didn't tell anyone. Laudna, without pausing to discuss Delilah's plans with anyone, actively initiated inter-party conflict. Ashton didn't reveal a potentially life-threatening plan to anyone except Fearne, and distressed a lot of people.

Bor'dor fucked them up real bad. Bor'dor messed with their heads. I mean they were already messed up, but they got worse because of Bor'dor. Bor'dor is like a shadow over their narrative. Like Ashton said, Bor'dor was the worst.

I don't think Imogen and Laudna broke up. I think the "I'm gonna miss our little cottage, though" was said in the vein of "It breaks my heart that you think you have to give your life for this fight and that we won't get our happily ever after." Because Imogen still believes in it. She just wants Laudna to see her own value and fight for that future, too.

Next 💜 Back 🖤 First

(Author Notes)

Title Page: Laudna and Imogen are sitting by a campfire at night in the mountains. Laudna is performing a puppet show for Imogen’s entertainment. Her shadow on the rock face behind them is not her own, but that of a woman in a high-collared evening gown, who appears to be observing them silently.

Laudna herself drew the comparison between Orym wanting to wield Ishta and her wanting to wield Delilah, and that's fascinating in light of how Delilah convinced her to try and steal Ishta in the first place.

Because Delilah claimed that the blade might be cursed, and even posited that rather than being wielded by Otohan, it has its own sentience and wielded her. Now Laudna wants to wield Delilah, who absolutely does have her own sentience and goals beyond what Laudna wants from her. She's driving Laudna to drain the magic from artifacts and people to feed her and while she does grant Laudna boons for these actions, it's clear she wants the power for her own reasons, whatever those may be. She also very clearly knows how to manipulate Laudna, preying on her love for Imogen and desire to be useful to her and the rest of the group to push her into granting her more power.

Laudna claimed she wants to wield Delilah, as Orym wanted to wield Ishta, but in doing so begs the questions Delilah herself asked about the blade: Who's wielding who?

#my guess is that delilah's goals have something to do with vengeance against the de rolos #for the death of sylas #based on the hatred gwendolyn sensed from laudna #but that's beside the point of this post #critical role #critical role spoilers #cr spoilers #laudna
