There is something in particular that we need to discuss in regards to the ending Minthara gets with an embraced Durge that is unique to Minthara. Hopefully by now, we are all aware that at some point, it was planned that Minthara would be pregnant by the end of the game and Larian cut this. Sadly, I do not have a pickaxe in the datamine so I do not know the full conditions of what would trigger it (ie, I do not know if it was meant to be a Durge specific pregnancy).

However, if you embrace Bhaal and talk to Fel you can ask him if Bhaal will allow you to spare your romance partner. Here is what he will say in general:

And here is what he has to say about Minthara specifically:

^ These lines of dialogue have been in the game for a while and are still accessible as of Patch 7.

The only clear thing that we get from this line is that Bhaal most certainly does like Minthara and approves of her (and she is the only companion Bhaal likes). He also seems to be very well aware of her fertility and sees it as a major benefit. And Bhaal very much would like Durge to use Minthara to breed and raise the next generation of Bhaalspawn. The only thing that is rather vague is whether or not Minthara is currently pregnant with Baby Durge. I mean, it would be wild if she was considering that Daedra is female and doesn't have the "right equipment." I mean, anything is possible when it comes to Bhaalspawn and reproduction. But I am going to go with the headcanon that Daedra can indeed get Minthara pregnant if she really wanted and this is good enough for me! My evil drow lesbians deserve the right to make evil drow babies together!

I also had a mutual express to me their confusion as to why Bhaal would have Durge kill Minthara if Bhaal does like her and may potentially be pregnant with Baby Durge. Bhaal is the definition of chaotic stupid. Not everything that he does makes any logical or rational sense. Bhaal's wet dream is for everything to die, specifically through murder. He does not care if that death is an inconvenience or will backfire, he just wants death and murder because he's fucking dumb (comparatively, Lolth and Shar are good examples of what it means to be a murderous god and be smart about it). I also want to note that Durge killing Minthara, or any of the romance partners, is not Bhaal forcing Durge, but Durge willfully choosing to do so. As Fel said, Bhaal is giving Durge the choice to spare their romance partner, but they do not have to do so. At least, not right now and it seems like Bhaal would prefer that they keep their romance partner alive specifically to make babies.

As stupid as Bhaal may be, he is at least smart enough to have backup plans and contingencies. This is why he created his own horde of Bhaalspawn and why every Bhaalspawn has the instinctive desire to breed. I can do a separate mini post about this to go into the lore of it if people want, but what you really need to know is that Bhaal essentially cannibalizes his own children. Every time a Bhaalspawn dies, a piece of their divinity gets returned to him and it makes him more powerful. So Bhaalspawn want to make more of themselves, and then kill each other because the more Bhaalspawn that die, the more powerful Bhaal becomes. Every single Bhaalspawn is born to die.

So, how does this all relate to Minthara and her baby? Well, her baby would be a Bhaalspawn, but not just any Bhaalspawn, they would be mini Dark Urge. A mini Dark Urge Bhaalspawn who would inevitably be driven to kill Durge one day, and maybe even Minthara since Bhaalspawn have a nasty habit of killing their parents. Most importantly, this baby is meant to be a backup plan, Durge's contingency. Bhaal does not care if a Bhaalspawn dies, because their death empowers him. Bhaal may have his favorites, but he does not need to like his child in order for them to carry out his prime directive of kill everything. Although he was pissed that Orin attacked Durge and usurped them and he does not like Orin, Bhaal still rose her to Chosen because Orin would still be able to carry out his plan of murdering the world. When Durge returns, Bhaal gets super happy because Durge has the greatest potential to fulfill his dream, but Bhaal still requires that Durge earn the title of Chosen once more.

On the precipice of doomsday, Durge has two choices for Minthara, kill her first, or kill her last. No matter what choice Durge makes, they intend to kill her one day as that is what Bhaal's ultimate goal is and Minthara was never going to be an exception, even if Bhaal does like her and may be carrying his grandbaby. The blood eclipse that we do see in the embrace Durge ending is not reality just yet, but a premonition of what would happen if Durge keeps things up. It's a vision of what Bhaal wants Durge to accomplish. Since it is not yet reality, it is possible that Durge could fail and could be killed by other factors. If Durge dies or fails, then Baby Durge would be their backup if Durge chose to spare Minthara. Or, Baby Durge may be the reason why Durge failed because they were drawn together as all Bhaalspawn are and are destined to kill one another.

No matter what choice Durge makes in regards to Minthara's fate, it still benefits Durge and Bhaal in the end. As I mentioned earlier, Bhaal may pick favorites but he does not give a shit if his favorite babies die as he still benefits from all of his babies dying. So him liking Minthara and her being the perfect broodmare was never going to spare her either. At the end of the day, she will have to die in order for Bhaal to jerk off to his wet dream.

Choosing to kill their romance partner right now or later is all Durge's choice to make, not Bhaal's. Sadly, the game only gives you two choices in regards to your romance partner. There is no third option to have them walk alongside Durge during all of this. Ironically, Minthara and Ascended Astarion are the two companions that I think would stand by Durge as they murdered the world and they would gladly murder the world with Durge. But, that was not the choice Larian gave us and that is a major L.

Depending on the choice that you make, you can roleplay the reason that you want and Minthara has a unique RP aspect as she may be pregnant. And Minthara being pregnant with a future Bhaalspawn is excellent RP material. And it need not be because Durge is a callous asshole who never loved Minthara and was only using her as some people are perceiving it to be. Just because Durge will inevitably kill her does not mean that they did not love her or never loved her.

Great to see you put up boundaries, Professor Sage..! Also thank you for not transforming..! I don't know how much my poor fae heart can take...

Have you thought about where to go on your next walk? It doesn't have to be public spaces, a simple walk in the gardens or forest does as much good. - Umbrella Anon

Tell me abt the vampire oc plssss (╯°□°)╯(╯°□°)╯(╯°□°)╯

Oh I don't really have any deep lore abt her! She was created accidentally, but then I redid her and then used in rp with three other people. Her name is Martha!

I used her in a murder mystery roleplay with some fantasy characters (She was one of the suspects, not the murderer tho) But girl later got killed... with an The aspen stake? (dont look at me that, i was a teen and RPd with other teens)

And then Martha was revived to help solve stuff. Her undead version would`ve been the present version in the timeline. The design i DO have saved of her is the "alive" one. I think she was an actress or entertainer in some quest-house (???). I like her-

But since she is now a vampire-undead(??) creature, i drew her in the undead state! Here`s how i would do her in my current art era!

Her 2020-21 design still kinda nice i think? but i would just simplify it a bit-

[originalarchivist]

Perspectives on Humanity: An analysis by Ivy Alexandria

There are many theories over what truly makes us human. Our skin? Our blood? Our brains? Our souls? Our common shapes and extremities?

Despite my years of archiving I am yet to find an answer. If skin and the basic human functionalities is what makes us human, than that would that make Brian?

If blood is what makes us human, what would that make Nastya? If our common shapes and extremities make us human, then what does that make Raph and Marius?

If our hearts make us human, then what would that make Jonny?

A more important question I've had time to ponder over is: If it's our brains that make us human, then what could that make me? (Truly I don't believe I ever had a chance to be human.)

I understand I'm dysfunctional. I was born dysfunctional and broken, and according to the anons, I will die dysfunctional and broken. (I believe the reboot was evidence enough for the crew to believe I am dysfunctional. I'd be surprised if they decided to keep me around after this. After I hurt Jonny. .)

I understand that the Doctor thought I should continue being disabled even if she could've fixed me completely. Some "Bullshit" "about accepting yourself." (Jonny D'Ville-1646281)

Truthfully, I feel as though her true intention was for her 'children' to suffer.

If I was normal. If she had saved my grey matter, instead of programming it.

If she had fixed the parts of my brain responsible for balance, speech, motor skills, I might finally have a chance to be something. To be someone. To be a human. Or as close as a mechanisms can get to being a human

(do we even have the humanity left to be human? I should know the answer. Are my processors down?)

She tore apart what she could hav- Quite frankly: ought to have saved, and replaced it with rusting hardwire.

Where half my neurons are meant to be. That used to be my only location of major fault.

Why couldn't she have just rebuilt that? Why couldn't she save me from the constant confusion? From the confusion over who I am, from the confusion on if I even quali- If I ever qualified as human.

Unfortunately I understand I was dysfunctional even before this due to how I was originally formed in my mother's womb, however why couldn't she have just rebuilt what needed to be fixed? Why must she have rebuilt the entirety of my brain?Did she not think how much agonizing pain and confusion she could have spared me from?

Carmilla. If you're reading this. Why? My centuries of work, the remains of your notes: I am yet to find an answer of satisfactory quality.

I must spend my 'eternal' prison sentence stuck, inhuman, as I always have been.

As I always will be.

You never truly saved me as you promised you would.

You refused to fix what truly was broken. And for that, I don't think I can forgive you. (I don't think any of us do.)

I will never be like my crewmates.

Forever I am to be stuck with this brain. With this faulty lump of metal I am doomed with: essentially hallucinating my emotions, hallucinating a sense of artificial love, until the day the universe will end (or I retire).

So thank you oh wonderfully kind doctor. For ruining your 'children' one 'spared' life at a time.

Trying to reorganize the list of oc rp accounts so i can make it. Not just a really long list and actually make it something orderly and

There are too many of you /affectionate) and I'm still missing like. Three. But I'll deal with that when I finish up and post the list. Gotta reorder it by year and then reorder it again alphabetically so i'm not trying to figure out chronology again and make sure all the info is correct and then I have to copypaste it to tumblr and link everyone because you can only put 50 @'s in one post and. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[ask-jiro-kirisaki]

Yuri returns to the office with a small wrapped parcel, peeking into the package, "Jiro, I ordered something for you. Took it long enough to arrive, given the fuss over it, but..." He digs into the packaging and offers a box labelled for medical grade warming gloves, "for your circulation. It gets poor this time of year, so we need to be diligent. I also have higher grade hand warmers here as well-the campus store only has miniscule ones for children, it seems." He scoffs. "We can't afford to play it loose with your health, not with this weather."

@ask-doctor-isami

Even in his slightly lethargic state, Jiro's excitement is evident by the way he accidentally lifts Yuri as he pulls him into a controlled but strong hug. Setting him down, he doesn't bother to apologize. It's become almost routine to have this sort of thing happen. "Always thinking of me, aren't you? Thank you, Yuri." He's hit with a slight chill as he pulls away. It's not enough to harm him, but it's enough to bring a slight pout to his lips. He'll have to rectify that in a moment. Or... Muttering something about being cold, he positions himself behind Yuri, draping his long arms over the smaller man's shoulders as he opens the box. The sleek design would allow him the dexterity he needed and the color very much matched the gloves he wore with his school uniform. Removing one of his gloves, he catches the sight of a familiar scar on his palm - one that Yuri created as a cat. Jiro made certain to avoid treatments to prevent scarring for that particular wound, as the heart-shaped scar served as a reminder of Yuri's permanent presence in his life. He removes the glove completely, showing the light, but visible new scar on his palm. "I suppose it's a bit morbid if you think about it, but it makes me happy."

I’ve made a billion fucking drafts and can’t find the words to talk about cellbit and bagi from today. how the fuck do you explain the intricacies between a brother who has lived a life that has sharpened him to cut what he touches, and a sister who had to live with his absence? a man who has to see the childhood he never got to have whenever he looks at the woman he now knows is his twin? said twin who cannot understand why her brother would be anything but glad they are reunited? how do you get across that tangled mess of emotions cellbit had to get him to burn his old pet worm? the paradox of longing for what could have been while desperate to get rid of any reminder, with a healthy dose of paranoia that anything could be a federation bug. or the pure devotion bagi has to decide to stick with her brother even though he is not close to the same as he was when he went missing? the unfairness of it all, of cellbit being taken and made into a killer before he turned 14, of bagi looking for him at the detriment of her own safety and self, of ripped up childhoods and everything that could have been? the fact that the first thing cellbit asks is what he could have done to deserve it? the disgust he holds for himself for what he’s done, and the anger he has for the federation that’s taken everything from him, and the resentment he has towards bagi no matter how unfair it is because she never had to go through what he did? how after bagi swore to help him burn the federation down, cellbit went to bad instead, because bad was there and fought alongside him, and he trusts bad because he’s seen him at his worst, and all he feels like doing is his worst right now? the two of them so similar still because they’re consumed by their need for revenge, while bagi just wants to leave the island? how the fuck can you summarize all this and the emotions that accompany it?
