Laudna is sweet, gentle and occasionally horrifying.

She is played by Marisha Ray on Critical Role's third campaign.

Based on the original character art by @agarthanguide

It feels... warm.

some au form of dread that i'm sure makes a lot of sense out of context ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

[sethhuseyin]

So I leap from gallows, and I levitate down your street… Who’s afraid of little old me?

happy thursday!

Fun scary 🖤

I will try to formulate this better at some later point in time, but:

One of the things I love about Artful Dodger is that they could've very easily looked at the character concept and made Jack Dawkins into a Dr. Asshole a la Gregory House* but they just ... didn't.

The first surgery scene already subverts it.

He may be a snarky, cynical not-so-former thief and an adrenaline junkie, but he's never a jerk to his actual patients (with the brief exception of Sneed after the duel) and is in fact protective of them.

If anything he reminds me more of Dr.McCoy.

And I love it all the more because of his contrast with Belle. Belle who while very well-meaning has a tendency to forget about the patient as a person vs. a steppingstone in the advancement of medical science (which in a way includes herself as well). See their respective reactions to Rotty's surgery or Charlie's infection.

Jack is compassionate and pragmatic and has a greater appreciation for the preciousness of life I think but also has a tendency to settle for less because of this and his past life experiences, whereas Belle is innovative and has excellent theoretical knowledge but has a tendency to rush things in the name of progress.And I think this urgency and ambition and need for distance is also a byproduct of her growing awareness of her own condition and the limited time she has left.

(* and I'm saying this as someone who likes House MD)

i bought caper cards yesterday and am just thinking too damn hard about it. thinking about orym boosting the score for each person in the same suit as him but not himself. fearne allowing you to find out exactly what the endgame is. imogen having the choice to either assist the crew directly or be lost from the group but reduce the overall difficulty of the task. fcg having the power to flip someone from their lowest to their highest potential or vice versa. the way chetney is flexible and can enter the game at either his high or his low with only a small difference between the two. the way laudna always enters at her high but can be flipped by external influence to her low, the highest and lowest point values in the entire group. the message bloom from keyleth giving extra points but only if someone of orym's suit is in play. the armor from nana morri subtracting points if no one of fearne's suit is in play. the gnarlrock shard just absolutely fucking you if laudna is in play.

Three of these are fanart for fics by @thebytchwitch (song of the damned) and @lespetitesmortsde (When the stars go out I want you holding my hand)

And one is just good ole’ Imogen

“That’s a bold choice, Dalek Supreme, coming to a wedding planet dressed in white! Unless you’re here to get hitched… should I be flattered?”

“We are here to exterminate you.”

“Oh, that’s probably for the best. Not sure River would be up for a marriage à trois… not with a Dalek, at any rate.”
