I'm really afraid for Renegade Nell. This show has largely been growing by word of mouth. However, on Friday Fallout is going to drop, and I feel that any talk of Renegade Nell will be completely blown off the map and forgotten. This is my last ditch effort to drum up watchers for the show.
Virtually everyone I've talked to that loved Willow, also loved Renegade Nell. I feel confident that the rest of the Willow fandom will also enjoy it. Do yourself a favor and check out the first episode.
screams and cries. sofia and nell are such parallels to one another. nell doesn’t overly care about the queen herself but she wants to stop poynton from taking things too far. sofia doesn’t overly care about dethroning the queen but she wants to help poynton to protect herself. and both of them just want to keep their families safe. both are widowed, both lost their mothers at some point and their fathers only recently. both have these incredible powers and a strong, passionate drive for their goals. but sofia is surrounded by people who want to manipulate her, people who are selfish and brass; where nell has people who love her, who see her beyond her abilities. so alike, and yet so different
I finished my rewatch/relisten of the Vox Machina campaign in mid-December (although I recently re-embarked on the second half of the Chroma Conclave arc hoping season 3 of TLVOM will be announced (released?? 🤞) by the time I reach "A Bard's Lament"). Predictably, I bawled, AGAIN, but by then I'd already been scribbling and sketching ideas for this for... a couple of weeks? Hence the little WIP preview last month.
I'll never shut up about this moment. It's just as beautiful as it's heartbreaking, in- and off-game, especially taking into account all the context of characters/people involved.
Also, bonus, because after I finished sketching that 6th frame I thought a hug was needed.
“Um people keep talking about imodna after their talk last episode but it felt really toxic and codependent to me?” Omg you’re so right girlie it was toxic and codependent and I want it to be even more so. I want it to devolve into absolute mess. I want them to be covered in the blood of their loved ones and hugging each other saying shit like “I love you anyway”. I want them to destroy each other with their love. I want one of them to die and the other to go full Delilah Briarwood to bring them back. I want them to do horrible things to protect each other. I also want them to get a lil cottage and bake some blueberry tarts and raise horses and have a garden and dance together to music Laudna is humming and be happy.
