People questioning why Laudna did hunger of the shadow
I do think at least one reason, minor or not, is because of how freaked out Imogen got after giving herself to Predathos. Like girlie was on the verge of tears scared out of her wits. This thing the two of them had previously talked about (maybe it’s our destiny to harness…together either way)
A choice Imogen made in relation to that quote unquote pact freaked homegirl out so much that she didn’t want to pursue that avenue anymore. So Laudna silently brings it upon herself to be like “okay your thing isn’t working out so I’m gonna go hard on my thing so you never have to do that again”

Excuse my foolish heart but I think we should fall in love and go on planetarium dates.

i had a dream that we found out that the Sun was an ancient god that was THIS close to just killing all of us and the only reason it didn't was the Moon and somehow the recent solar storm and aurora borealis were related but I don't remember how so as any writer would do i fill in the blanks
now imagine you're an ancient god, stationed not even at the center of a galaxy AND it's not even a big one! each day you burn with the rage of being unable to move away from your spot. the only reason you have to be here is one single planet with life on it and isn't that just unfair? you should be free, you should be roaming the cosmos and sometimes you're THIS close to destroying life on earth just to go back to those better times.
but then you see her.
the only one that kept you company in recent years, and even though she's millions of miles away, you seem to understand each other. she loves humanity, a complete opposite of you. she's so gentle and so.... divine even if she isn't a god. and you love her. you love her so much that you can't bring yourself to destroy what she loves the most.
you can't speak to her. you can't tell her how much you love her. but you can show it. you can give a gift to her and her pitful humans. and maybe afterwards, she'll smile at you in understanding.
