PERSONALS DO NOT REBLOG AND/OR INTERACT WITH MY POSTS

ooc: it is so sad how almost every post in orym's tag is either ship related, or people arguing about how to characterize him in relation to laudna or imogen, and none on like on idk HIMSELF AS A PERSON and his own entity and being. like... i just want to see what people think on orym alone but i have not seen a singular post like that

[saviorbladed]

ooc: so i got the orym dice... i thought they looked alright in the pictures, my love for earthy things for one of my own characters pushed me to say yes to get the dice. After a few weeks of using and owning them, I will say they are ugly.

the flowers are ugly and more brown than white, like it looks more like they picked up dead pieces of wheat or grass and put them in the dice than tiny dried flowers. they are ugly, and i just feel bad because like they could have been so good. i know cr is paying more for these resin dice with inserts and such that are harder to mass produce, but orym's are bad, and i almost wish he just got one of the older style dice sets.

ooc: their are two reasons i don't ship orym and dorian.

the first is that i still do not believe orym is over the death of will, or ready to move into another relationship and that if he does it wont be healthy for him because of how he will be acting.

the second is the fandom. the more or less made the ship unappealing to me on every level, and made me uncomfortable to even write it.

if you ship it power to you, but i don't and probably wont if it does become canon *sips tea*.

[saviorbladed]

ooc: all i am going to say is i have opinions

[saviorbladed]

It's funny, because usually the fandom is split with things like this, but all of the posts I've seen have been on Orym's side, with the most favorable Laudna take being, "She's in the wrong here, but she's motivated by trauma, so lets cut her some slack"

NON RP BLOGS DO NOT INTERACT

ooc: Normally I wouldn't entertain anons like this. But first I want to say she is not the only one motivated by trauma, so is Orym. Orym, with this particular item, has more trauma around it. But comparing traumas at all is not appropriate or right. It devalues what people have been through because someone has been through "more" that does not negate what another has been through.

Second when it comes to Orym vs Laudna the fandom by in large has sided with Laudna every time. Orym started this campaign off as one of the most hated characters, and is still one of the most hated. Laudna started out as the most loved, and is still the most loved, and that in my opinion is clouding people's judgement of the character choices.

Third I beg you take a look at Orym's tag again cause you will see so many posts saying "she's in the wrong but..." and then completely devaluing any and everything Orym has gone through because Laudna "had it worse" and also excusing her actions of why she is in the wrong.

I love Laudna. The character choices last night were marvelous what I don't like is how the gen fandom will not allow Laudna to make bad actions and be held responsible for them. We are talking about the same people who will and STILL say "Orym deserved it because of how its his fault that Bor'dor died."

Marisha played it excellently last night. I just hope that the Bells Hells actually communicate and listen, rather than just talking at each other. Because inter party conflict only works if you actually move to resolution, and so much is left unresolved between the party members. And hopefully Marisha and Liam by proxy (cause of this situation) will lead the Bells Hells to be more introspective.

*sips tea* i need to rewatch cause i fell asleep, but the fact that orym's tag already has people saying orym is in the wrong... like i understand laudna's actions with delilah, but i am sorry i am on orym's side here entirely. also i seriously want to talk about how this is the first time orym has acknowledged he needs to move on from his trauma and for this to happen its good rp and angst but like let him be allowed to finish his grieving process

[vaguesnail]

it's been way too long since i've drawn orym

[saviorbladed]

ooc: goes to reblog my promo... forgets it has my old url... ahahah i am such a lazy rper

[saviorbladed]

NON RP BLOGS DO NOT INTERACT YOU WILL BE BLOCKED IF YOU DO

ooc: interesting that liam refused to say the name vecna... but saying whispered one by matt... like are they still work shopping a name?

[firepassed]

she would like to think that someday she might just be better at her words, a better leader, better at… everything… these days she has felt more of a failure than anything, this attack and the damage it has caused weighing more on her than anything. make up for it isn’t what she means… at least not for orym. she needed to make up for it and she intended to soon, no matter her healer’s fussing that she needed to rest, to give herself time to recover. no, she had no idea what she was doing or what she could say, but she was certain that orym was not at fault, but not certain that he would agree to such. “ you cannot. you do not have to replace a life. no life is replaceable. ” she paused, though, her eyes looking up. “ …we make up for it by doing what we can at home when we are ready. and not keeping all we feel on the inside. ” a task easier said than done. she more than anyone knew that. but she more than anyone knew possibly how to help, or at least be there. seeing the water in orym’s eyes, however, was enough to break her heart.

the tempest knelt to him and met his gaze a hand reaching to hold his and squeezed it tightly. there was no word for it. “ i know. ” but she also knows that that’s normal, not that any of this was normal but it was the closest thing to it. “ i know it’s worth little, but if you ever need someone to listen or just company, i’m here. i promise. ” it the least she can do, and regardless she wanted to be there. she wanted to do anything she could to help.

[saviorbladed]

She was right. No life is replaceable. And if the stories were true she was speaking from experience, but Orym would never say that out loud, nor was he entirely sure that was how Keyleth thought. But he could understand it if she did. He did, Will was part of him. And now that part was gone. He hardly recalled what it was like, after all it felt like Orym just woke up and their was Will like he always had been. How do you deal wen your person is no longer there. When your life is cut in half because the one full of it is no longer there. He didn't have the answers. It was still fresh for Orym, he was still young... he was still young, "I am not even sure I know where to begin for that, Tempest."

He gave her a smile, tight and watery because as she squeezed his hand it very much hit him, just how much he truly missed Will and Derrig for different reasons of course. "I will keep that in mind. But do not risk yourself or your recovery for my musings. I am just one..." he swallowed and the teary eyes that he had wete blinked away. "Soldier, one of the many who lost that day."

ooc: to go off my last post. vax just picking orym out of a tree cause boy liked to climb to be like "hello, who do we have here" and orym is just like stunned silent, and then vax passing him off to his mom without even second guessing that she is orym's mom because the woman is just mom shaped. he also druid crafts a little snowdrop for behind his mom's ear. and his mom pressed those flowers and used them in the decor of her home. it was the beginning of orym's love of flowers and the wild things

[saviorbladed]

ooc: constantly thinking about little quarterling orym meeting vax

[saviorbladed]

ooc: thinking about how during the fight where vax got turned into the orb liam was knocked off his game because he was in shock about vax, and i wonder how orym would have really done in that case

[saviorbladed]

Ooc: why I am not the biggest fan of Dorian and Orym as a ship:

One) makes it seem like everyone forgot about Dorian and Dariax

Two) it is all orym’s tag will be which is mostly how Orym is either evil cause of his interaction with Laudna about bordor or his ship with Ashton. Like you can’t find stuff about just Orym and his backstory and his story in the tag it is always focused on everyone else

Three) shippers made me hate the ship

Four) the shippers tend to erase all of orym’s issues with relationships and how he is still a grieving widower when they discuss Dorian and Orym

And I have more but I think that is enough for now.

[saviorbladed]

ooc: just learned about the fan song for orym and will called "little moon" and it starts off with "hey their my little moon sorry i left so soon" and i was already crying aahahaha anyways
