#(for this reason she DEFINITELY would not have spoken in favor of sparing qalian in ANY eventuality which also dooms him)

Oh, those moonlit walks would be full of them just insulting each other.
"Pathetic."
"Asshole."
Actually those walks would look more like this:
Alternate ending to the Rhalâta questline:
#i remember playing around with those poses#and she's supposed to be grabbing for the throat#but because of the way their heights line up it looks more like tharaêl ate a piece of plastic and jade is trying to get him to spit it out#which honestly feels canon for them#either that or she's trying to make him smile which also seems in-character for jade#and no worries talking positive about characters i don't like!#i just have a lot of complicated feelings about tharaêl#and his dynamic with my prophetess is complicated#which i think is actually interesting!#because he brings out a different side of her that the other companions don't?#like she's sympathetic to his situation and is totally on “team fuck the father” even after the confrontation#due to her solid moral code = “if you hurt kids you deserve to die”#ultimately this code applied to tharaêl himself when he admits to killing that family#(for this reason she DEFINITELY would not have spoken in favor of sparing qalian in ANY eventuality which also dooms him)#but if jade were in tharaêl's shoes she would not be able to live with herself afterwards either#she wouldn't be able to come up with some speech about finding redemption and shit#so that outcome is less about my disliking him#and more that it's in-character and thematically appropriate for the “bad” ending of that quest to happen with her#but yeah what i mean by “fix” is generally people rewriting the script to make tharaêl more of a palatable and shippable character#which is totally valid for them and i would never in a million years discourage that#i don't even mind seeing fics/fanart/posts about him#i'll just be over here with my 9887339287389 “fixes” for calia and dijaam's stories because they REALLY got shafted by the narrative#my girls deserved better#(though someone trying to physically “fix” him via twisted experimentation is also fucked up to think about)#(imagine going to hard psionics route where you can “force your will” onto another)#(eugh)
