the idea that Orym has a death wish has led to some of the most laughable meta I've seen. Orym tells his closest friend - who has a penchant for delightfully wild impulses, is possibly important to the enemy's plot, and is about to see her biological father, about whom she has all kinds of complicated feelings - to not take unnecessary risks and people are handing out pamphlets on "a Treatise on Orym's Belief in Doom; Being an Account of His Deep-seated Hypocritical Actions Regarding The Pact With Morrigan, Hag and Fatestitcher" and it's like. idk man maybe they're going to be separated in a very clearly dangerous scenario and she specifically is in an emotionally charged and tricky one and he is saying "be careful", a normal thing friends might say to each other.

#people will be like Liam O'Brien is a shakespearian actor and professional sadboy (I disagree w/the latter but. that's the consensus) #and then when he plays characters who say kinda dramatic pronouncements they'll be like WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN #babygirl this is mr. you were not born with venom in your veins he talks like this in d&d all the time good gravy #cr tag #i do imagine people with bad takes especially on twitter handing out pamphlets with bad takes like they're a really stupid Thomas Paine #like FULLY in the town square of Plymouth Plantations or Mystic Seaport in costume crying out about their meta #and i am a tourist like man where's the shop where i can for reasons having nothing to do with this living history museum obtain a geode

the thing is, like, imogen is blunt, and indecisive, and impulsive. she's cynical, angry at the world, and seemingly much less interested in doing good than in holding on to her loved ones. she's hypocritical, incredibly violent one moment and horrified at the prospect the next. she's passive aggressive, on occasion. she's overly critical. she's scatterbrained.

and all of that stuff is very fucking fascinating, and so fun to watch, and core to what makes her her. but not only are those things not the totality of imogen as a character, they're very much inextricable from the things that make her sympathetic.

imogen has spent much of the last decade of her life in pain, and isolated because of it. when she wasn't alone she couldn't relax, having to keep tight control over her mind so as to not get overwhelmed or invade the privacy of others. because even through all that pain and loneliness, she still bore the responsibility not to impose on other people's minds. and when she fails or slips up or gives in, all of the distrust and suspicion she recieves regardless is suddenly viewed as justified.

which is not to say imogen is not responsible for her actions, or the harm she causes others. of course she is! no one is saying she isn't! but, just like literally every other person, her actions don't exist in a void but within the context of both her past and present.

analyzing that context and coming up with explanations of her behavior that consider it is not excusing her actions or refusing to acknowledge her flaws. it is not coddling imogen to sympathize with her even when she's fucking up. these are pretty standard ways to discuss a character you enjoy actually! it's weird that having a nuanced perspective on a character's actions is being treated as an issue!

#imogen temult #critical role #cr #i mean. to get into it a little bit. one benefit of this approach to character analysis is that it often gives you takes that feel #much truer to the text than “imogen speaks into people's heads to manipulate them and she was the one who abandoned her dad” which. how #to get into it even more its so fun that the “not being hypercritical of imogen is sexist actually” discourse is happening mere days after #the “anyone questioning orym's decisions clearly hates him and liam and also conflict and flawed characters in general” discouse. lol #if laura had given a monologue announcing “imogen has seen the cycle of harm and is choosing to perpetuate it” i wld talk abt that too. btw #were i without a massive headache i would devote more attention to anticipating and responding to counterarguments #but we're just gonna have to take the “if you get it you get it” route on this and release this post like a wild animal into a crowded room #ok bye. actually i have an imodna specific followup but then bye. #long post / #CRposting

bye bela :(

#she doesnt come back in liams run sadly ;; #i can never get her approval quite high enough oops #(tbf tho im not making a Huge Effort since thats how it happened the first time and its a replay run anyways) #laya plays dragon age #liam for his part is. so so pissed rn #what the FUCK isabla what do you MEAN you need that relic??? #like. what. you would trade having one guy off your back for having THE QUNARI hunting you down???? #he is. VERY goddamn angry in that qunari compound. at isabela but also just in general at Everything #that being said he still cant bring himself to tell the arishok that isabela has the tome #in part out of spite towards the arishok but also bc he genuinely doesnt know if the relic was there and/or if bela has it now #and if it wasnt then isabela might get hunted and killed for nothing #and if she does have it? well theyre gonna find out soon enough #stop fucking acting like this is all his fault somehow #if it were for him once the qunari attack he'd frantically gather up his friends and gamlen and evacuate somewhere safe #he does NOT want to be in the arishoks line of sight when he goes on a rampage #(hah. we all know how that works out LOL)

#There's something very interesting when it comes to the boys' popularities #Like... For one... You get their monthly listeners on Spotify which don't mean much but they mean something #Then you get social media... Or like... The deep fandom #Louis and Harry reign supreme #Maybe because of their origins and how it all came about #But in the deep hardcore fandom... Louis might lead by miles #Idk... I've been thinking about it #You get Niall whose music is super popular with the general public #Moms looove Niall's music #At the 1D party most people knew Niall's solo songs #Niall sells a lot of tickets in big arenas etc etc #Then you get Harry who's both huge with the general public and huge in the deep fandom #And Liam with his catchy singles for sure... #But you won't find general public singing louis' solo songs #At the 1d party the amount of people who were singing silver tongues? Honestly... It was like 10% of the people there #And that would have been the case with any of his solo songs really... Maybe miss you or back to you would have gotten a few more people #But yeah... #Idk it's interesting #Because here on tumblr I feel part of this big community... Which... It's still big but it's very contained still #And I'm not mad about it one bit #It felt very special being one of the very few people scream singing to silver tongues #It's almost as if you're part of this underground club or something and then at louis' shows everyone comes together #Hajshajs sorry I'm rambling #I just find it very interesting... #even when the crowds were so different last year in NA compared to ltwt... #I could still see 'oh yeah...

Cora: I'm so happy, I could kiss you! Tara: Um...Neat. *later* Tara, lying face down on their bed: I said "Neat," Theo. Who the fuck says neat these days? It's not neat to say neat but I said it anyways because I'm fucking stupid. Theo, reading a book: Don't beat yourself up too much, Tara. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what I did when Liam confessed his love for me? Tara: Didn't you thank him? Theo: *closes the book and looks at the ceiling* I fucking thanked him.

i hope you don’t mind me sending this ask, but i saw you talking about louies insulting and saying horrible shit about louis for “supporting an abuser” and not signing the palestine letter. i went on twitter and it’s really bad. i’d expect it from la/rries who clearly only love ha/rry and see louis as nothing but an attachment to him, but louies??? solo louies??? his own fans??? i don’t know, as much as i may not agree with some of his actions/opinions i would never think of speaking about him in that way. it’s like these people aren’t even his fans. i may want him to speak up about the ongoing genocide, but as you said, in a sincere way, but the industry is run by zionists so i get why he can’t. as you said, it seems like they think they own louis, when that’s not right at all.

with liam there’s a level of loyalty and he’s just too good (he’s a leo moon through and through). him supporting liam doesn’t surprise me because he does that a lot. also, maya’s book hasn’t even come out yet, so i prefer not to jump into conclusions before it’s out. so yeah, the point is i can’t believe this behavior from his so called fans and it’s really frustrating to see. reminded me why i never go on twitter and why i prefer to stay on my corner of the fandom

sorry to rant in your inbox but you are very logical about all of this and i feel like you understand. hope you have a good day

My thoughts exactly! Honestly, i'm tired of his fans speaking in this weird and frankly offensive tone about him any chance they got. Like they never miss a beat. Never in my life have i seen a fandom calling out their fav for supporting an "abuser" just bc his bandmate's ex-gf posted about a book she wrote with a few trigger warnings. At least wait until the book is out and you can read it 😬. As far as the speaking on the genocide against Palestinians, i said what i think several times no matter how unpopular that opinion might be. Also, not to be that person but i honestly think it's time they stopped with the i'm so disappointed in him tweets every two seconds like sorry but if it means that much to you that he speaks up and it's something that you really can't get over (doubtful bc most of these people were talking for days about the SB and TS and her bf's kiss which btw i never see them calling her out and expressing their disappointement even though she's the biggest star in the world and can actually get away with a pro-Palestine statement and make an impact. Some were even excited and hoping for a zionists Usher and JB performance), just unstan and call it a day. It's not that hard. And i mean this sincerely, if this is a limit for you, just unstan him (and almost every other celebrity on the planet).

#like me for example anyone who posted their support for Israel in October and nothing about Palestine are dead to me #or people who thanked Joe Biden for “handling the situation” #like that's a limit for me #i've never listened to a Lana Del Ray song again and i never will #but you don't find me tweeting about my disappointement every two seconds #and don't get me started on that liam drama #silly me thought they were mad FOR Louis bc he never gets any of this energy back #but no they were actually accusing him for supporting an abuser 😭 #i mean i'm all for not blindly supporting/ following everything your fav does #but ngl “holding my fav accountable” is starting to leave a sour taste when it comes to louies #and you can rant as much as you'd like in my inbox #have a nice day 💙

playing video game but rest asured. imt thinking about liam the whole time....... he is in my thoughts always . i think about him

#shout out to the time my sister sent me an img of a tiktok w someone showing off their 'lollipop collection' #aka a section of thei r room completely filled to the brim w lollipop images and a cutout of her and stuff #and my sister sent that w the message 'you with backpack' #and said shed make me a liam cutout #so if u were ever curious abt how much i think abt liam. it is so much its unreal #that my family is aware i dont stop thinking abt this guy #but my sister is suportive <3 awesome #my mom does also end up listening to me talk nonstop abt him which is also a win #point of this post #when i say i think abt him excessively . i mean it #ik object shouws are a SPPIN of mine #but i think. one might be like... a spin inside of a spin #and liam happens to be the subject of that #because i always get attacheed to Some Guy #ANYWAY #im playing video games but still never not thinking about him #feel free to telekinetically beam thoughts abt him into my brain while i play video game #side note i should make a pinned post some day #cus i have sooo much info on me on my main but i imagine most people stick here #(WHICH IS FINE btw idc. just curious and thinkign) #anyway. bac to game

seeing the beginning of campaign one again, it's so wild to me that vax became known as the Broody Emo One.

i know he gets more broody as the campaign goes on and shit goes down, but his main personality trait at least at the beginning really is just like...charm?

like the dude's A People Person, he's buying drinks for a whole inn's worth of people and lightheartedly sympathizing with npcs about how his friends are all idiots and giving vex surprise hair ruffles while stealthed and generally just so far from the way he's portrayed by a lot of people.

he's such a likable person (very intentionally so) when things are more relaxed and i feel like that makes it hit way harder what he does withdraw bc that's not just what he's always like.

#not to mention even when he does get darker he's not an 'i don't need anyone' type by any means #like sure he takes time to himself a lot but he'd 100% be lost if he were actually alone #which is also true of caleb and i think that's why they work as part of a party even when they're more Broody (TM) #because as much as they might withdraw they also Desperately need their friends so they never fully bail #and that's such an important part of both their characters especially when you consider their attachments to vex and veth respectively #liam's characters always have Very Important Friends they're never really that Loner Type even though people tend to paint them that way #if anything it makes more sense for caleb to be talked about as the loner type because of how close he gets to bailing on everyone but nott #but i feel like vax gets much more of that treatment?? like okay the dude likes to Walk Away #he also Desperately Needs To Be Liked And Will Make You Like Him If It's The Last Thing He Does a lot of the time #it's not a one-dimensional thing by any means if you ask me and it's so weird to me that it's what defines him to a lot of people #c1 rewatch #c1 liveblog #cr liveblogging #vax’ildan

Never thought I'd be describing any action by one Caleb Widogast as healthy but here we are

#fix them #in whatever capacity you'll have me when you're ready #I'll be ready #mother and i were talking about some heavy stuff #and i mentioned to her that Caleb's journey was the first time I'd ever heard any discussion of timeliness in romantic relationships #meaning that there was a decision made by Liam and also by Caleb to work on his own issues before adding a relationship on top #which is so rare in any media at all #no wonder so many of us have syndrome. #you can't fix someone. the only thing you can do is help them fix themselves #and enabling someone's bad behavior may seem like it but it isn't an expression of love #the people who really love you will stick around even without the promise of a romantic/sexual relationship later on #that's ultimately why i can belive Essek truly loves Caleb. #because he says #and that's something I've never seen said explicitly before #critical role #caleb widogast #cr meta #I'm just again very grateful for liam and his respect of the subject matters and clear love for caleb #and I'm grateful for liam's respect of us critters #and for his being willing to open hard conversations around what it means to recover from terrible trauma and brave building something new #i feel a bit awkward saying it because its online and out there but thank you liam #(I'm don't feel I'm articulating this very layered thing well but i do feel strongly about it)

#I rmr when I first got into 1d and started actively using social media based around them I would see older fans getting so mad about how new #fans didn't know as much and would say things so off base without actually knowing what they're talking about #and it would make me mad bc let people enjoy things and what not #but after all these years I finally get it #I still would never say anything to anyone bc again im just gonna let people enjoy things and think whatever they want #bc it obv has no effect on me and doesn't matter #but sometimes some of the shit I see is so irrationally enraging #saw someone say that it makes them mad when people say Harrys the most successful bc he was set to be since 1d and that zayn and Liam are #the ones that dominated the first two albums #that Harrys first album didn't even do that well and he was less spoken about than Niall and Liam at the time #and the thing is I agree with some things like them saying he had to work hard to get to where he is and that it wasn't just handed to him #which true but that doesn't mean anything else was #harry and Liam were the main vocals for every song with zayn as a close second with his vocal range #harry had practically every main solo #he was always front and center during perfornances #he was a main topic in every interview and clearly favored by fans and media alike #and in every since of the term except officially he was the front man #its undeniable that he was set to be the main start of the band #the Justin Timberlake or Beyonce if you will #his first album didn't have his current popularity #but that doesn't mean that it didn't do well especially considering his first single was a very risky almost 6 minute ballad and the rest of #the album was largely different than what could have been expected of him and of the time #yes you can maybe say Niall and Liam had a little more buzz around them than harry did at the time but in comparison harry just didn't need #as much again considering that he was the most famous and paid attention to of the band anyways #he was and always will be at this point a mainstay for the media #its not that he didn't work hard to elevate himself to where he is #no one is denying how much he has put into the success of his career #its just that he was already put a couple steps ahead of the other boys #and there's nothing wrong with that #people act like its a fault of his but in reality what matters more is what he was able to do with it

🪡 ( CAN I SPEAK TO THE MANAGER /J ) Hello miss manager! What’s your role in the halls? You seem to be equal in status to ( GIC ) MIR :3

“I am the manager. I look out for these hallways and adjacent areas that connect to the Graveyard District and the Inner Isle. The Man in Red, or as you refer to him, ‘Gender in Color’, is one of my many, many employees, albeit my highest and most trusted employee. He does all the upfront work while I move behind the scenes because my physical appearance is… rather frightening I find. I must apologize for his behavior however, as he is… a less than ideal leader when subjected to stress and pain. I’ve sent him to go investigate something concerning the piano room so he should… hopefully, stay out of trouble. He is technically below me, but I like to treat him as my equal.”

“Is it okay to assume you are a friend of the little one? And the uh… not so little one she’s been following around this whole time as well?”

#mod ghost #idv #idv oc #idv askblog #idv oc askblog #fffiii #congrats! you’re currently speaking to the manager :) #🪡 event #the hallways’ manager #yeah she finds herself scary but as if a man covered in flowers and vines ISN’T just as scary???? smh what were you thinking bestie/lh #M: hopefully he stays out of trouble now that he’s alone #me: are you sure about that. #also #the little one and the not so little one -> Amy and Liam #I mean she isn’t wrong in her description of the two OSJDOSNDJKSKFJEKKSKS

I can't stop imagining this character in situations so I'll share him now

#his name is beau and he was blade's high school boyfriend lel #he's a softie and had a crush on blade for a while bc he seemed Tough™️ and tried timidly to approach him a few times #so you can guess mr 'gets attached to people easily' also liked him rather quickly after they started talking #and honestly how nervous he was while with him and how he looked slightly intimidated even was like. instant crush #beau was like 15 and he was 16 when they started dating and actually they were like. 8 months together? which is a lot #they fucked a lot during that period 👍🏻 they were each other's first time and blade just couldn't stop fucking after that lel #also y'know. hormonal teenagers and all that #it was funny though. beau couldn't bring him to his house bc he was raised in christianity so he always went to blade's house #and apollo was all 👁👁 when his beloved brother was staying a lot of time on the guest room with his bf #i mean he knew they were most probably having sex. he just never wanted to ask and why would he. #they did fucked once on the school's bathroom though. hormonal teenagers again #their relationship was okay though. apollo thought he was decent for blade and beau wanted to be a good brother-in-law #he did felt. slightly wrong about the way apollo and blade interacted but he thought it was because he didn't had siblings #or so he thought! he has a half-brother called liam; who is younger for one year. they share their father #their father uh. cheated on beau's mother with liam's mother. and somehow he was able to hide it until beau was like 6 #but his parents didn't got a divorce until he was 15 because they thought he was too young to deal with it yet #he meet liam when he was around 16 and they go along pretty okay!! even when. y'know the other circumstances #liam is another character i should introduce since i also imagine him in situations but this is about beau #anyways! beau broke up with blade because when his father accidentally discovered their relationship he got ENRAGED #and his mother; who is also religious but more lowkey; was like 'i would take my son being gay than being A FUCKING CHEATER' #and it was the thing that started their divorce 😭 so beau felt guilty and blamed himself. his solution was to broke up with him. #blade felt so sad 😞 beau also was tbf. to this day he still misses and thinks about him lmao #blade moved on though. but he wouldn't mind fucking him again for the old times or whatever #oc talk
