Has it been done yet?

The love life of Caleb Widogast will never not be darkly hilarious to me. Because on one hand once you get passed the ptsd he really is a silly guy with a big heart who is unconditionally in love with every single one of his friends....

....But on the otherhand the people who he has actually canonically dated are exactly one type of person and that type is "hot evil wizard that has committed war crimes".

Like there's a minimum qualification requirement for sleeping with this dude and that is "a phd and atleast one violation of the Geneva convention". Absolutely stella character choice honestly 10/10 no notes.

fucking crazy how orym and dorian will make constant embarassingly besotted hearteyes at each other whenever they simply exist, risk their lives to save the other no matter how big the threat right in front of their noses, have several heartattacks if one as much as trips over a branch, gush to a distant parent about how great the other is, literally bluescreen, watch the other sleep BUT THEY WON'T FUCKING TALK ABOUT THEIR DAMN FEELINGS i am barely holding on

I love very much that when Taliesin’s PC died he made a grief counselor to help everybody heal and to grow as a party, and when Sam’s PC died he said absolutely no time to be sad this group needs somebody sexy

It’s simple really. If a sexy character dies, they must be replaced by a grief counselor. If a grief counselor character dies, they must be replaced by someone sexy.

I’m going to preface this by saying that I also got annoyed about a similar phenomenon around my favorite character in C2 (Caleb) so I don’t think this is just an Imogen problem but:

I’m increasingly frustrated with the way a lot of the fandom talks about Imogen and especially how other characters interact with her. There’s a lot of super uncritical “how could you be mean to my poor baby” that crops up even when she might kind of need to hear some hard-to-swallow truths and be questioned.

It ends up creating a fan environment around a character where it seems like some of the most vocal “fans” act like she’s so fragile she needs to be protected from any challenge or hardship or confrontation of her own fears - and what makes this frustrating is that the context of this character is that she’s in a D&D game. Challenge is the thing that will move and progress the character in that medium.

So I’d like to offer an alternative to the framing of that moment with Imogen, Orym, and Laudna I keep seeing. Yes, Orym was blunt, but he wasn’t exactly providing new information, just a reminder of the stakes and their job. “I’m pushing everyone” - I mean, of course! At this stage, why wouldn’t you if people faltered? In contrast I see Laudna’s clinging to soothing and comfort and “you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to” to be a depiction of how sometimes that kind of expression of love isn’t actually helpful and merely allows for continued indecision and stagnation. Imogen may end up disagreeing on a course of action with Orym, sure, but trying to stop her from even considering or engaging with alternatives is a smothering affection also borne of fear that doesn’t allow Imogen agency.

The interesting contrast with Caleb is that it was Nott, his ride or die pal, who was often the one pushing and challenging him to grow. And don’t get me wrong, the similar fandom problem I noted at the top with Caleb absolutely targeted Nott and later very strongly Veth for daring to tell him blunt or uncomfortable truths. But Imogen’s ride or die girl isn’t pushing her, she’s doing the opposite and trying to cocoon her. Which I guess the fandom “protect my poor precious fave” impulse agrees with and doesn’t read as its own kind of interpersonal issue.

Imogen does need to be challenged if only so she can decide, truly, what she wants to achieve out of being on Ruidus and how far she’s willing to go. She’s a deeply conflicted character who has a lot of fascinating conflicting agendas she’s struggling with. If she is never pushed or never pushes herself she may not take the time to actually consider where her personal line is. Someone constantly agreeing with and shielding someone can be a problem in its own right.
