a spider knows that an insect has been caught in its web because it feels the vibrations of its struggle to escape, right? i think The Narrative is the same way.
you can glide through a story relatively unnoticed and unscathed UNTIL you try to leave. and then The Narrative turns its terrible, bulging eye towards you. and you’re its favorite person forever.

thinking about how you can’t idolize one aspect of a thing to the exclusion of all others without destroying even the part you idolized. and I think Taylor was in love with the “forever” of love.
forever is a great thing to be in love with, it’s a high ideal, better than emotional highs or the feeling of not being alone. you listen to “All You Had To Do Was Stay” or “How You Get The Girl”, which say again and again that if you keep staying, keep showing up, the result is forever, and that’s a happy ending right? and you kind of believe her, her confidence sweeps you away. maybe it could be that simple.
but then you listen to “Say Don’t Go” and she lists all these wounds he’s inflicted and then says anyway “I would stay forever if you say don’t go”. the forever that was once a triumphant reward has become a bare minimum, stripped of its miraculousness. she can’t stop hoping for him to say it, but as a listener you see that it couldn’t possibly repair what was broken. forever with the man who twisted the knife and left you bleeding while he was silent wouldn’t be a happily ever after kind of forever, even if he stayed. it’s a mercy that he won’t say “don’t go”.
and then you listen to “You’re Losing Me” and it’s so clear that just staying, just not leaving, isn’t enough. forever by itself isn’t true love. the shape of the forever matters. you can hang on forever accidentally while giving half-heartedly only what you want to give. true love is forever because it gives everything.
and the thing is. Taylor’s infatuation with forever has saved her, and has saved her music, a thousand times. but I think its weakness was that it precisely couldn’t save her from the kind of relationship described in “You’re Losing Me”: the relationship where your partner does stay and does probably explicitly intend to stay “forever” in the sense of indefinitely, but won’t define why and how and won’t commit themselves in a vow. the relationship that’s long-term and “committed” but not permanent and total. so “You’re Losing Me”, like “Say Don’t Go”, presents its list of wounds and watches the heart rate slow to nothing, but because he is saying “don’t go”, she doesn’t go.
you have to want and hope for and only be satisfied by the whole of love. no substitutes or faithless hoaxes accepted.

A true classic. This song came on randomly today and I forgot how good it was and I’ve since listened to it five more times.

begging twitter to stop showing me tweets of people with no reading comprehension misrepresenting things I said but since i was going to make this more in-depth post Anyway .
when i say imogen is better read as a metaphor for generational trauma than she is a metaphor for queerness or chronic pain, i’m not talking about legitimate traits she has as a character. obviously she is queer. obviously she experiences some form of chronic pain (though i would argue her magic better suits chronic illness not pain because she states that it’s Not always painful, but it does always influence how she lives her life).
when i talk about how well she’s understood as a metaphor, i’m talking about when i’m looking at her as a part of a story, as an arc that i am witnessing rather than in the more typical fandom way of this is a fictional person who interacts with exandria as real people do. and that is a fun way to interact with characters, i enjoy it a lot! but when i say imogen (to me, as i for some reason have to clarify on my own blog which implies that these are my own opinions and not absolute fact that needs to be accepted by people on the internet with different experience and opinions than me) is best read as a metaphor for generational trauma, it isn’t a dismissal of her queerness or her illness, it’s just me thinking looking at her from that angle is more compelling.
imogen has been one of my favourite characters and least favourite characters in campaign 3 because i tend to analyse her through a lens of generational trauma and she ends up looking extremely familiar to me as someone with a family that carries their’s heavily which is as comforting as it is frustrating.
for me the main thing that looking at imogen through a queer lens of literary analysis fails to account for is harm. on the one hand - the harm that imogen experiences, not because of how people treat her for who she is, but that exists simply as a factor of her being ruidusborn. on the other hand a the harm that imogen causes. not to say that she is some malicious villain waiting for her chance to harm others, but that there are things about being ruidusborn that very much do incline her towards violence in a way that she might not otherwise be - i think about the conversation after she went nuclear and chet brought up people being scared of her connecting that to her father keeping distance. the only harm that queerness provides comes from society, and that isn’t the case in exandria. even metaphorically, the thing that society fears in ruidusborn people (while it has certainly been exacerbated by centuries of superstition and practices like we saw in zephrah) is a tangible threat. imogen’s magic when not controlled can wipe out a city block, but queerness poses no threat.
that’s why i’m not compelled by imogen’s backstory as a queer metaphor. not because i’m some imodna anti (i very emphatically am not but this fandom kinda makes me wish i was sometimes) or because i think exandria’s lack of homophobia/transphobia means that characters can’t be viewed through a queer lens or that critical role doesn’t contain some of the most compelling queer metaphor i’ve encountered. imogen just isn’t one of those characters, not because she isn’t queer, or because i think her story shouldn’t resonate with queer people, just because i find the generational trauma angle more consistent.
it’s similar with the chronic illness angle, which i will refer to as illness but you’re welcome to emphasise pain, we all have different vocabularies for the experiences we face. but just to give context i’m running off laura’s comparison of imogen’s powers to her own sensory issues and anxiety which while often Lead to pain, fall more into chronic illness in imogen’s context to me. and i do think there’s substantial comparison for imogen’s story as a metaphor for chronic illness, but i think that was much more true earlier in the campaign than it is looking at her from the current context. her beginning motivation being her search for knowledge about her powers really resonated with me as similar to someone experiencing symptoms of chronic illness but who could neither figure out how to treat them or what they were caused by.
but then imogen got more information, specifically about her mother, and her priority became not understanding her powers but understanding her current state as a person - how had she become the person she is, inclusive of her powers but very much emphasising her lack of a mother who became more and more present in the unweaving web of ruidusborn lore. that’s when i was less compelled by the chronic illness reading and more compelled by viewing her as a metaphor for generational trauma. had that not been enough on its own, imogen’s visit to relvin and her recent thoughts on her mother would be enough to convince me.
the part that makes me hesitant about this post is that generational trauma is so intensely linked to the contexts under which it is created and perpetuated. so i can’t really point to specific scenes as evidence of specific things that prove generational trauma is the most compelling and i don’t really want to unload that much of my own experience to clarify my thoughts on a character. but vaguely, i will say that imogen’s relationship with her parents is obviously the clearest source for my reading her as a metaphor for generational trauma. the fact that relvin, the only person in her family without the thing that draws society’s ire, is also the person that she has the most willing anger at is also indicative of this to me. in general, imogen’s rage that so easily transitions into sadness and vice versa comes out a lot in conversations about parents. most recently, i think about ashton’s lovely speech about found family and his distrust about parents and how as they were speaking, laura seemed to be playing imogen as sadly in thought versus months ago when fearnes parents showed up with striking similarities to liliana and imogen’s words of wisdom were let’s hurt them all.
and like. to me that angersadnessvengeancegrief is particularly evocative of the feelings that arise when you are in a family with generational trauma, especially when you are aware of it. because imogen can and has followed the logical steps that have led her and her family to where they are. early on when recounting her relationship with her dad she seemed wistful but understanding of the distance between them. in nearly every encountered with a parental figure imogen seems to be some level of distrusting for the most part, but she’s still holding out hope that her mother will see the good side. and further, there’s the complication of how dire her losing her powers seems to be, and how inextricable her powers are from every aspect of her life. she’s also southern and from a blue collar family. this means nothing except it also means a whole lot.
this is messy and not well organised but if you want a good essay you’re gonna have to pay me money for it but tldr: i say things i believe on my This Is My Opinion Blog and i don’t think i need to explain my thoughts to strangers on the internet but this was already half written in my drafts and if people are gonna shit on my opinions please at least do it in good faith and shit on my actual opinions not the ones you’ve decided i have.

Kiss Me in Komorebi+ 🌸
[Episode Five] One Last Push!
Somewhere, far off, the First Kiss whim chimes sing their little song… Suraj was still Tense after Dan’s behavior earlier in the night, but a few jokes into their conversation and Dan’s charm seemed to knock him right into Playful!
As the night goes on, it looks like it’s getting harder and harder for our Bachelor to avoid the bitter realities of this challenge! No matter how fun it’s been, we’re here to fall in looove, people! And with the way Dan’s looking at Suraj here… well, it seems like his work is cut out for him!

I don’t think anything will come from this, but for your consideration, my latest brainrot:
A sort-of Grease!AU with Rose as Sandy and Blanche as Danny (or, even better, Rizzo).
That’s all. You can go.
