i've seen a fair bit of... pessimism about dorym lately, esp with the ep107, for example wondering if dorian's opposing views on the gods making orym fall out of love, and i have to say. i very highly doubt it, ur fr talking about the man who has held on to will for so long, holding onto will's family and affectionately calling this *his* family too because that didn't stop when will died. i dont think falling out of love is an option or even a thought to orym.

that said, we know that orym has contingencies for if anyone in bells hells crosses the line into being a version of themselves they would despise, for anyone who jeopardizes their mission. his mission. i think, for the first time since knowing dorian, orym finally has a contingency for him. the longer dorian is back, the more orym sees how scarred he is by what's happened (understandable so) and knows that dorian is with bells hells all the way. but if he isn't...

#lynx speaks #critical role spoilers #cr spoilers #dorym #dorian x orym #i'll be so fr i hardly interact with the cr fandom at large bc soooooo many people are deeply pessimistic #i want to have fun!!!!! i AM having fun #and then i come here and see the most bad faith takes in all of the world ever and its disheartening!#where's ur fucken JOY where's ur fucken WHIMSY #bells hells is one of the wackiest groups with crazy dynamics between them all and its enjoyable!#ur Allowed to enjoy the things u watch i prommy #and to that point! people keep complaining that bells hells r indecisive and there r too many opposing views muddying things etc etc #1. ofc there r a lot of views. the real world is like that too. opposing views is one of the best story elements to enrich ur made up world #2. whenever there is a Big Decisive moment many instantly go 'noooooo not like that!!! that's not what *i*wanted' (ex: the shard.)#the cast receiving backlash from fans every time they r decisive and do something objectively fucken cool and interesting #means that any time they Think about doing a Big Thing... it gets a little harder bc what if the fans hate it. again. should i even do this #separating fandom from cast is a bit more difficult for this form of media and the inherent close proximity or creators to audience #so. just. maybe some of us could chill and cool off just a little. and maybe examine why This Thing is so terrible to u. and remember.#it may be terrible to *u* but thats where it stops. the specific bad feelings u have r not always indicative of media being Bad.#sometimes it's just not ur cup of tea and i PROMMY that its okay if its not
