"How could Imogen question the gods when they brought Laudna back" by this same logic she could question why the Matron allowed Delilah to maintain a hold on Laudna for so long or, perhaps more immediately relevant, why the Changebringer would choose to let Laudna be the one to die so. you know. there's room for nuance. Imogen's not the bad guy for correctly insinuating that the pantheon can hurt (or choose indifference) as much as they can help.

#critical role #imogen temult #or why none attempted to help her in her youth or save laudna before anything happened to her or or or #the thing about gods even in real life is that the idea of faith and the idea of not being helped UNLESS you are faithful is. also not. good #so yes you could argue 'well she never had faith in a god that could've helped her' why would she have. why should she have had to #these are Good Questions to ask I am begging for their to be some more complex undertakings of faith and pantheons #beyond just 'well they brought x back' or 'well they helped x this time'#laudna #this is also not meant to be discourse-y rather than just. seen an influx of rather black and white takes on GODS #which doesn't sit right with my soul AKSKDKD #this is NOTTT to imply that like. Pike's relationship with the Everlight was built upon falsities #or that we the audience havent seen SEVERAL beautiful reciprical relationships between gods and their followers within exandria #but the characters are not the audience and only have their lived experiences to draw from and imogen's is. far less than say. orym's #thoughts
