#also does he not say that bane admires durge? or did i imagine that?

[hijackalx]

i think batshit crazy durge x gortash is cute too ok. but also i think that plays a lot into durge behaving exactly like orin despite gortash stating that he liked durge because they werent like orin at all.

he says he liked that durge could control themself (mostly), and i think the fact that you get a choice on whether or not they act on their urges a lot of the time is proof of their self-control. theres only like a handful of instances in the game where acting on their urges is mandatory.

also, @/wilchur’s post about the butler always needing to keep durge in check is really interesting, because i think thats further proof that durge always kind of fought their urges/was inclined to rebel. they HAD to do evil fucked up shit, but maybe that doesnt mean that they always wanted to…… even before orin sabotaged them.

BONUS: obviously gortash is drawn to control and orderliness. in the books where you can find his plans for the city he basically says he’s going to be running that bitch like the military, lol. literally everything he does is for control. so, naturally, he would be drawn to durge’s level of self-control. yall picking up what im laying down?

and maybe….. dare i say…… the fact that they would resist the spontaneousness of their urges is what was actually attractive to him……..— WAIT DONT SHOOT 👐
