I think that Orym actually does doubt Imogen, but this isn't a thing that is unique to Imogen. Orym doubts all of them to an extent, because paranoia is something he struggles with (and this is continuously reinforced by the story).

It's not a 'good' thing that he should never get over, nor is it an immoral character flaw that proves he actually hates Imogen. However it's also not something I think he can get over as long as the threat of having to possibly fight his friends exists.

"I have all the faith in the world in you guys, all of you. And I have also spent time thinking how to neutralize each of you."

#cr discourse #critical role #cr3 #orym #text post #people talk about orym being hypervigilant and then deny his behaviour created out of that hypervigilance #but also see people being weird about orym due to this. you can dislike him all you want but some people are doing too much #“he hates imogen! she has given him no reason to doubt her! she is good” guys its literally just paranoia #he doesn't need a reason to doubt her nor any of them. he just does due to their uncertainty about everything #this group is impulsive. shown by their 'we are an improv group' response to the question 'whats your plan to stop the end of the world'#this is all in line with oryms usual level of slightly paranoid behaviour which is exasperated and justified by the story #he followed fearne away from camp when she wanted to do something on her own but then she was jumped and nearly killed #that paranoia was proven correct #again the next night when he slept with a sword on his back after fearnes dad threatened to come back and attack her friends #and he was attacked in his sleep (by laudna but at the time he didnt know that)#then imogen told the whole group that she and laudna considered giving into the darkness together #something that both ladies then expressed they wanted orym to take them out if they went too far #this is just a result of all of this #so i think this is a non-issue. if you like it great. if you dont then whatever #just this time it rubbed people the wrong way because of irl hang ups of people valuing their own personal privacy #the same way any kind of mind stuff 'modify memory' or psychic reading of minds without permission rubs me personally the wrong way
