Laudna/Marisha immediately tearing up after Imogen said she’d miss their little cottage made me break

I'm gonna miss our little cottage, though. (insp. by @lightningtitties)

Zariel's sent goon after goon to hunt me down, but believe me when I tell you I'm not going. The latest yappy little dogs she's sicced on me are nearby. A group of dopes posing as Paladins of Tyr. Want to help me take 'em down?

Laudna is just so full of love, and I think up until now, she just hasn't known where to put it. Ever since the Solstice, I think she's been realizing that, specifically since she was separated from Imogen. I just want to look at this for a second...

I've just been thinking about Laudna towering over Imogen as she's in her Form of Dread, protective of Imogen when she was injured, nearly dead, the ferocity and fearlessness with which she stared down Extovass. "Lets go, bitch." She was ready to do whatever it took to protect Imogen.

Then I go to think about how just days prior, Laudna was towering over Bor'Dor as she was in her Form of Dread, defensive of her friends as he cowered beneath her injured, nearly dead, with anger and confusion in her eyes. "I'm sorry, I just can't stand having anyone else betray me." She was doing whatever it took to protect her friends.

One Form of Dread. Two different outcomes. Two different sides to Laudna.

Laudna, who was internally afraid she was a bad person, being kissed by Imogen. Laudna, who just listened to Imogen confess that she's afraid if the moon disappears, so will she. Laudna, who has been tortured and tormented for many years, "your friends will betray you," asking Imogen "do you trust me," as she runs and jumps off a roof with her.

Here she is, showing the girl who has shown her the most kindness and compassion in her entire existence, the highest kindness she can possibly show in this moment: her own body. Standing up to Extovass, just like she stood up to Bor'Dor, ready for a fight, ready to defend, not backing down.

Laudna is gonna save the world one of these days, and she's gonna do it out of love. It may not be grandiose, it may not be extravagant. It may not even be noticeable, but it will. Her love for her friends, her love for Imogen, is her biggest strength. Orym's seen it. I'm sure the others have too.

But now she's coming into it, and it's shown in her defense and shielding of Imogen. She was ready to go down with Imogen, knowing she was just as vulnerable, she was prepared to go down swinging. Thankfully, she didn't have to this time, but she showed that she was ready to then, and she'll do it again if she has to.

The idea of letting Imogen go without a fight? Pft, Over her dead body.

Imogen definitely fell first, but Laudna is falling harder. And it's that love she's falling into that is going to end up saving them somehow in the end.

"Laudna doesn't sweat, she glistens."

Like excuse me Laura Bailey you just saying that shit so instinctually, Imogen is head over heals despite the entire CR trying to make out Laudna is more gross than she is.

sam tried so hard to get them to reveal their gay little secret

[dykeharrowhark]

Obsessed with the little Laudna and Imogen things this episode. Things that absolutely would have happened pre-kiss too but feel even more intense now.

Laudna clapping for Imogen’s kill and saying “she’s very capable!!”

Their “do you trust me?” Aladdin moment.

Laudna’s rage-fuelled form of dread towering protectively over Imogen’s unconscious body.

And of course Laudna Marisha yelling at FCG Sam to “save my girlfriend!!” (And Sam’s disappointment when she said that it was Marisha speaking, not Laudna… this robot wants to know about their romance SO BAD.)

"can i just, with my form of dread, tower over top of her and shield her with my body as much as i can?" haven't been able to stop thinking about this scene from e67 💜🖤

Laudna and Imogen just talked in episode 65

[dykeharrowhark]

Yes Matt, spill the tea!

[dykeharrowhark]

Who was the first person your character thought of after the Apogee Solstice?

[dykeharrowhark]

Honestly, everything about the kiss was so perfect it could have been scripted. Laura was leading that conversation like a true master. She hit all the right beats and led Marisha to the kiss. It was just so amazingly thought out. Laudna telling Imogen she could just ask was the moment Laura has been waiting for since the beginning of the campaign.

Just missing them, that’s all

"Come back to bed, darling."

[dykeharrowhark]

Imodna since the beginning

Laudna: Why does everyone assume we’re a couple?

Imogen, on her lap and playing with her hair: I have no idea.

[dykeharrowhark]

Just thinking about Delilah being reawakened to Imogen acting on her feelings for Laudna. The person who had the final blow to beat her back after the resurrection. The person who had reached out beforehand to beg for a way to get Laudna back from the claws of death, willing to do anything. Someone so similar to her when it comes to the desperation of having her love by her side. Someone she could potentially manipulate with this knowledge despite their hate for her. The potential of this dynamic going forward is so intriguing. There's just something about Laura Bailey vs. Delilah Briarwood.

Laudna lashing out at the group in e65 still haunts me deeply.

She was so upset and lonely, rightfully so. She repeatedly bottled up her emotions to the point she lost her connection to reality for a moment. Accusing Imogen of replacing her with a new best friend was the cherry on top. Whether she truly believed in that or not, Ashton was completely right in suggesting she needs to get reminded again of the things that make her happy and reconnect with the person who grounds her the most.

And the way Imogen stared at her with the softest heart eyes, probably wishing she could just hold Laudna as close as humanly possible and kiss away all the pain and every last bit of doubt.
