Cazador has a lot to say to MC if Astarion isn't with them, and it is all such hard-hitting CPTSD/abusive relationship meta that I had to go stare at a wall for a long time before starting to function again.
Stephen Rooney was not pulling any punches with this storyline. And he really, really did his homework. For his sake I hope that his "background research" on abuse and trauma was entirely theoretical.
And then there is this gem.
[Player: "And you call yourself his family? You're a monster."
Cazador Szarr: "What is family, if not the monsters we are obliged to love?"]
I mean... Jesus Christ...

here are my favorite quotes from dune messiah cause frank herbert cooked so hard
“save your praise for those who can be swayed by it”
“beloved,” she whispered. “have i troubled you?” her arms enclosed his future as they enclosed him. “not you,” he said. “oh… not you.”
“paul saw the moon become an elongated sphere. it rolled and twisted, hissing — the terrible hissing of a star being quenched in an infinite sea. it was gone. no moon. the earth quaked like an animal shaking its skin.”
“the flesh surrenders itself. eternity takes back its own.”
“they’ve blinded my body, but not my vision”
“awakening, she’d found paul sitting beside her, his eyeless sockets aimed at some formless place beyond. chani stilled a fit of trembling when he aimed those eyeless sockets at her.”
“i was baptized in sand and it cost me the knack of believing. who trades in faiths anymore? who’ll buy? who’ll sell?”
“we have eternity, beloved.” “you may have eternity. i only have now.” “but this is eternity.”
“he felt his body through her touch: dead flesh carried by time eddies. he reeked of memories that had glimpsed eternity. Past and Future became simultaneous.”
“you cannot see!” “i don’t need eyes to see you.”
“if you need something to worship, then worship life—all life, every last crawling bit of it! we’re all in this beauty together!”
“this myth he’d made out of intricate movements and imagination, out of moonlight and love, out of prayers older than Adam, and gray cliffs and crimson shadows, laments and rivers of martyrs—what had it come to at last? when the waves receded, the shores of Time would spread out there clean, empty, shining with infinite grains of memory and little else. was this the golden genesis of man?”
“there are problems in this universe for which there are no answers.”
“people are subordinate to government, but the ruled influence the rulers.”
“he is the fool saint, the golden stranger living forever on the edge of reason.”
