imogen’s “you lied” is so damn heartbreaking on so many levels. laudna who showed her that people can be good and they can say what they mean. laudna who she can depend on and listen to and trust. laudna who was the only person for the longest time to prove over and over again that goodness still exists. only to break that trust in an instant.
meanwhile laudna is going “i’ll fix it. i’ll fit it.” because it’s imogen, and she would do anything for imogen, even when her killer is taking over her body. it matters more to her that it’s imogen, and she would never ever hurt her. and then she adds a cautious “we’ll fix it.” on the end like a question, instead of a promise. because for years it’s been just them against the whole world. but in one instant she wasn’t even in control for, she managed to make imogen lose faith in her.
there was just… so much love and care and devotion and protectiveness and trust in this conversation but all it took was the influence of a crystal and the voice of a killer to fray their bond.
Gotta turn that salt into sugar, I guess! This is from an animatic-ish thing I started working on a couple months ago for Shallura Week before I got too busy?? Oof. Hopefully I can finish it now. I also have another animatic planned and some amvs.
Just some wholesome endgame Shallura with black paladin Shiro! Nice.
