My favorite implication from the accidental Imodna wedding is that it takes this

from just another ordinary down bad Imogen Temult moment, to an outright marriage proposal.

And I think that's beautiful.

Give it up for Laudna and Imogen, who live in a house where the cups on the shelf are facing down but levitating so the rims never touch.

"There were no consequences to Bell's Hells' actions!"

Oh my sweet summer child, ramifications of the end of an age don't happen in a single game, even an 8.5 hours long on. C3 is similar in that way to ExU: Calamity, in the sense that it described events leading to the end of an age, but didn't spend much time detailing the new one.

Still, there were plenty of indications that the story didn't end there for many characters. Braius, Opal, Morrigan, Vax, and Pike will all have to deal with mortal Gods at a point or another. Disgruntled mortal Gods could try to hunt down Bell's Hells if they're really unhappy about their situations (thankfully, it'll take a decade or two for that to happen aha). Some religious folks will have an issue with them, but let's be honest, Team Issylra will ask you "when do they not have an issue with us?".

Yes, there will be a few religious crises around Exandria. Those don't happen nor get resolved in a single game though, so maybe we'll see more of that in post-campaign one-shots and future campaigns. We'll have to watch and find out! The new ExU mini-series will already be dealing with a similar theme, as Divergence will come up right after a significant change in the relationship between mortals and Gods. That'll give us an idea of what could be or what can differ.

"But Divine Magic doesn't seem to be impacted! That sounds like a cop out!"

Well, Matt mentioned a few times that the assumptions on the metaphysics of his fake world may not be true. My understanding is that the realms of the Gods haven't changed, so mortal souls should get through a similar process than before. Maybe divine magic draws powers from those worlds instead of directly the Gods? Clarification can be asked in fireside chat and wrap-up aha. But also it's a fake world, Matt can change it as he wants, it's fine.

"What about other consequences?"

Well, I'm expecting Imogen to help for a bit with Ruidians on Exandria. Ashton will have to deal with the Kryn at one point or another. Fearne might get into trouble with the Unseelie court. Dorian is definitely still getting into trouble. Who knows whether Chetney's deal with Nana Morri will bite him in the ass at some point? So many one shot opportunities for Bell's Hells, I think we'll see them quite a few more times. I guess that's a consequence of having C3 being so focused on the overall plot and less on individual character arcs: the story of those folks is far from being over...

[sleepyandtiredandbored]

Why are people are having problems with Exandria's divine power...It's been that way for so long now...It's already been established that devout belief in something gives the characters the fuel to cast. Zerxus believed in his duty as First Knight and to his late husband, FCG believed in their duty as a healer, Jester believed in the Traveler/pranks...

Day 575

Imodna has been canon for one year and thirty weeks (27 days ad infinitum)

In the aftermath of their victory against Predathos, the release of the gods, and discussions with the leaders of the world on how to usher in a new age on both Exandria and Ruidus, Laudna and Imogen seek Lieve’tel for insight on what can be done to release Laudna from her stasis in time. Through her own power, Lieve’tel casts Divine Intervention to tie Laudna and Imogen’s strings of fate, and guarantee a future where they will live and grow old together.

“I’ll be with you, every step of the way. And, if it still sounds nice to you—”

“Yes.”

“—That little cabin in the woods?”

“Yes. Yes.”

“Alright. I love you so much.”

“I love you.”

You know, people can feel however they want about c3e121, but if you're not taking into account when this episode was filmed and what was going on in real life, particularly in Los Angeles but also in the United States as a whole, and how that might have affected the creatives involved deeply wanting to give themselves a happy ending in the make-believe world they've collectively spent 10 years creating together, it seems to me like you're missing some context in your interpretations.

Maybe you can hold off on the dire portents of how there are no stakes and nothing matters and this is a clear sign that there is no future of successful storytelling at Critical Role, at least for a bit. There are more stories coming, after all. Plenty of time to see what's what then.

Our journey with the Bells Hells is ending tomorrow! Now feels like a good time to do this.

39 looks across 25 different characters, and that’s not even all of them!

From the moment I started working with Critical Role, I’ve been keenly aware of the privilege of my position. Not many artists get to experience the joy of seeing their designs cosplayed, drawn, loved, or even hated at the level I have. Every pitch, every sketch, every hour banging my head against every long render- it’s all been such a gift.

I’ll be eternally grateful for the years that the Lucky One was Me.

So sail on, Bells Hells. I’ll see you all the next time I’m in Exandria.

Just some Stormies besties/siblings things:

Dorian Storm causing Lolth to flinch from his cold indifference 🤝🏼 Imogen Temult rendering a divine intervention useless because The Ruiner doesn't want to risk Predathos's release

Dorian getting HDYWTDT for the phase 1 Predathos battle 🤝🏼 Imogen getting HDYWTDT for the phase 2 Predathos battle

Dorian and his family equine dragon 🤝🏼 Imogen and her love for horses

Lightning bolt duo

They love their Mama

They ran away from home

Day 562

Imodna has been canon for one year and twenty-eight weeks (20 days in-game)

“There’s a shadow right underneath me, baby.”

“Ohohoh, oh I know, I am…I am all up in that.”

Braius to Orym: I have feelings for you

Braius to Fearne: I have feelings for you

Braius to Dorian: I have feelings for you

Braius to Ashton: I have feelings for you

Braius to all of BH: I have.. feelings for you?

Narrator: that feeling was friendship, but he had never experienced it.
