#But the entitlement people have had over Imodna doesn't end just because it's canon

[wlwitchofwhitestone]

I do honestly feel like there are some strong vibes that Laudna AND Imogen are doomed by some kind of narrative and I hope the fandom can be fucking normal about things if that comes to fruition. Imogen is being literally consumed by her powers and Laudna has opened the door again to a power that has shown itself capable of controlling her, however small the scale. It is entirely possible that the two of them will make it out unscathed, whole, with real futures ahead of them. Absolutely.

It is also true that 65 episodes have led to this point that is practically a precipice for them both and if people start crying about how it's homophobic or whatever if one of them doesn't make it out or if they go down together, I'm sorry but that is a you problem. So many shippers have not only been making up the nature of their relationship since day one, they've been pretending it's this wholesome and sweet thing that could never go wrong because women's love is soooo pure and I'm telling you, as a lesbian, the potential is staring us in the face with these two more than the rest of the party that they are headed into real darkness and that is a choice Laura and Marisha are making that is true to their characters. Do not fucking repeat beauj*s about this. Grow from that. Be better.

Maybe they'll be great and fine! Maybe there's a richer story being set up when two characters are swept up in things bigger than them within an even bigger apocalypse and sometimes those come with tragedy. That's not homophobia, queerbaiting, or any of the other deeply rude and frankly delusional things said last campaign, that's an ending you don't like.

(the refutation to this, of course, is that for better or worse CR has a strong habit of righting every wrong and diverting from the darker course no matter what. But if Laura and/or marisha decide they want this to be a tragedy, you're going to have to be okay with the fact that it's going to be a great story that is very sad. Matt is right there to course correct if that's what they want, anytime. But they might not have that planned.)
