It’s okay to admit that your favorite ship isn’t perfect. Relationships could be messy, whether they’re a real-life romance, or a fictional one birthed during a tabletop gaming session. Our favorite fictional couples have their flaws, even if they’re cute together.
Imogen Tamult (voiced by Laura Bailey) and Laudna (voiced by Marisha Ray) were a power couple during Critical Role Campaign 3 with the ship name Imodna. Yes, they were adorable, but the voice actors think they were so devoted to one another that they completely neglected self-care. This brought up an interesting question – is it toxic to devote yourself so completely to a partner?
Ray made it clear that Laudna was only concerned about Imogen, with no thought for herself. “Concerned for you, 100%,” Marisha Ray says during a Critical Role spotlight panel at New York Comic Con 2023. “Same,” Laura Bailey says.
“Concern for myself? None,” Ray continues. Same,” Bailey replies. “Zero self-preservation,” Ray adds.
“Is that healthy in a relationship to only care about another person,” Sam Riegel asks. “There’s a lot of that in this group actually the more I think about it,” Taliesin Jaffe says. “Where is the line between altruism and codependency,” moderator Whitney Moore asks.
Sometimes a tabletop game can surprise you and make you look at love in a new way. Imodna may not be a completely healthy ship, but they are definitely a thought provoking one.
