I'm gonna be petty for one second here and say that I always thought Percy should have stayed dead after the fight with Ripley. But I have to concede that his ressurection ultimately told a hopeful story of found family and redemption.

And if Percy gets to have that, gets to have his happy ending, then so should Laudna. Even more so because Percy had reached the end of his quest and achieved his goal. So death would have been a narratively satisfying penance for all the terrible things he did to get revenge (like strike a deal with demon). But because he was brought back by Vex, because he was given a second chance at having a family with Vox Machina, Matt's world became a much kinder and gentler world.

And I am more interested in that gentler form of story telling, where characters have narratively satisfying ends. Because unlike Percy who had agency in his own story, who forged his path toward his death, Laudna's story is all about having that agency taken away.

[Side note: I have more rambling, less clear thoughts about Pate de Rolo as a physical manifestation of the price that Laudna paid in Percy's story. The way he hangs from strings like she hung from the Sun Tree, the way she fears that she's a puppet with her strings held by Delilah Briarwood.]

Laudna was just begining to understand her own personhood. She was just begining to have agency in her own narrative that Percy was so freely given from the start of c1. Her (second) death yet again as a message/motivator for another character is just plain cruel. [Even Vax got to stick around long enough to have closure.] The grief that other characters might feel provides little meaning to a character's own story. This is why fridging characters as a plot device doesn't work. And yes yes it's not technically fridging because it's all dice rolls and available spell slots, but ultimately at the end of c3 what would Laudna's character arc amount to if it ends here?

tl; dr OF COURSE I support whatever Marisha decides to do, and this is their game and they should what they want, etc. etc. But like I really hope Laudna NoLastName (yet) comes back.

The voice Matthew Mercer voice for the little (one handed) mapmaker guy in episode 48 of Vox Machina, is everything I wish my voice could be. Complete Gender Envy. I want that little voice. Gimme little guy voice.

My big controversial cr1 hot take (I’m lying, I have several) is that Bard’s Lament sucked and Scanlan get absolutely no sympathy from me, and I’m so annoyed by it still that it makes me eyeroll at all of his angst and the foreshadowing he’s going to leave in tlovm even though it’s a separate continuity.

Boohoo, no one knows anything about me, says the guy who actively refused to answer any questions about his past and had a deception of + infinity. Fuck off bro. After the fall of Emon, Scanlan didn’t even know which sibling it was that was good at tracking. He brought Vax with him to look for Kaylie in the aftermath. This is like 40 some episodes in. But I’m supposed to think he’s the one who no one pays attention to? Okay buddy.

“You brought me back to life with weird magic,” you’ve literally seen like 5 of these resurrections already stop being such a bitch. Also you can choose whether or not to come back it’s not like it was forced on you bro stop being dramatic.

“You brought my daughter to see my dead body, a perfectly normal thing that happens all the time and was used as part of a ritual to bring me back to life, I hate this and will now leave, and won’t even think about actually spending time with said daughter until one of you brings it up. I’m a colossal asshole.”

Also, Sam cheated. Not only did he not know the rest of the party’s parents’ names, neither did Scanlan. The guy who can’t tell the twins apart, really? Despite some of the names he brought up NEVER being used in the stream or in the home game. “What’s my mother’s name?” whatever man, how about they check the wiki real quick like you did. Gonna, I dunno, role any kind of check for the info you’re reading off a cheat sheet? His big dramatic speech was impossible and immersion breaking. Bullshit metagaming for cheap drama, a staple of Sam roleplaying.

Like post facto deciding Veth had been drowned to add gravitas to her fear of water, something he made up practically on the spot. Scanlan is probably the closest thing Sam had to an actual character rather than a series of traits Sam could deploy to make either a joke or the most dramatic choice in any given moments regardless of previous characterization or continuity.

Oh no, they pranked your dead body, guy who shit in a jar and hid it in your friend’s holy temple to spy on her. Guy who insulted your other friend’s ghost relative to death? Guy who used mind magic to coerce an employee into buying drugs for you? But they put your hand in pudding or whatever, ah fuck, better go on an hour long tirade insulting all their insecurities like a prick. Loser behavior, zero sympathy, Scanlan sucks.

also going to write this down before I forget even though it’s not a fully formed thought yet but I was thinking about how the magicians and critical role both involve a depressed bisexual character who has struggled with suicidality to some extent dying to save his friends and one of them feels like a slap in the face to everyone who saw themselves in him and one of them feels like a tragic but hopeful tale about finding the people you love enough to make even a short life worth a thousand long and empty ones

When CR is all said in done, whenever that may be, for one last project I want Matt and Marisha to write a tell all book of ‘The Life of Keyleth, the Voice of the Tempest’.

Her life as a political figure in Tal’dorei, getting her mother back, slowly losing Vox Machina but continuing on as the Voice of the Tempest and whatever else she does in her near eternal lifespan.
