Imogen is so soft yet cruel with her words to Ludinus, almost like how Laudna spoke with Ashton after he tried to take both shards in and nearly killed himself.

That parental authority looking down at a child who is in the middle of throwing a tantrum, and cutting them words that linger.

It feels good to be able to help. (for @overnighttosunflowers)

[criticalbeauregard]

the parallels of m9 going to allura for a ritual to help yasha and bells hells going to essek for a ritual to help laudna just dawned on me

there will always be a happily coupled gay mage from a previous campaign that will invite the party into their home to help another gay person

Molaesmyr, or "Why wiping out a city is okay if you're me", by Ludinus Da'leth.

I was waiting for a drop like that, to be honest. To find out that Ludinus has already done what was, for the gods, their darkest moment, and for him it was Tuesday.

The gods destroyed Aeor because Aeor was pointing a gun at their heads, for them it was self-defence and they still tried to find other options first. Ludinus destroyed Molaesmyr to try and reach the moon, and wrote it off as an acceptable loss.

And the thing is, the people of Molaesmyr were just as, if not more helpless against Ludinus than Aeor was against the gods! Aeor had a god-killing weapon in their basement that they were gearing up to use! And when the gods did attack Aeor, they had to do so in mortal form, which rendered them much weaker. For the first half of the battle in the Factorum Malleus, Aeor is winning, the gods are losing HP and falling to bad saving throws and getting interrupted at every turn. It's only once SILAHA gets free of the stun and manages to drop his Meteor Swarm on the wards that the tide turns.

There was no such chance for Molaesmyr. They probably didn't even know what he was doing until he'd already exploded their homes. They weren't pointing a gun at him. They were just in the way.

But it's okay when Ludinus has vastly more power than anyone else and throws their lives away to achieve his goals.

I think gods like the Dawnfather, the Everlight, the Arch Heart, the Lawbearer, the Knowing Mistress, and the Matron of Ravens care vastly more about the mortals that Ludinus claims to champion than he does. I think it broke their hearts to kill as many as they did, while for Ludinus, it was easy.

if i had a nickel for every time essek thelyss was roped into fighting a possessed version of a group’s member that he didn’t really know very well despite temporarily being a part of that group while IN AEOR, i’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

and now i will be forever thinking about the fact that both caleb and essek didn't know what home was for so long. and now they live in a "comfortable and homey" place with a garden, shared laboratory, tea and cookies. there are jester sketches all over the walls. memories of the nein in almost every corner. pictures of their friends and adventures. i'm SO NORMAL about this.

The face Marisha/Laudna makes when Imogen begins telekinetically preparing tea for her 🥺

[flowersforvax]

Braius: I'm just saying- me and that Cassida person are the same!

Me(remembering that Asmodeus flayed her alive and cracked open her ribcage while impersonating the most beautiful person she has ever seen, her beloved husband): uhhhhhh

[marvelousbelladonna]

HOLY SHIT!!!! The Delilah/Laudna mini!

[ariadne-mouse]

I know Ludinus is very busy but I do think he should get stuck in a room with both Fearne Calloway and Jester Lavorre at the same time while trying to get literally anything done
