OH THE INTRO IS SOOOOO BAD NAAUURRR 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

I am sure many of you are aware by now that Minthara's Speak with Dead lines now have her mentioning a daughter. She did have these lines back in EA that were since removed on final release, but have now been reintroduced with Patch 8. @baldursyourgate did bring up a very good point that we could potentially be dealing with another breakup scenario where these lines were readded by "mistake" and may be reverted in a future hotfix. The only thing that has me feeling a bit sus is that unlike the breakup, tweaks to Minthara's Speak with Dead lines were mentioned in the Patch notes this time.

However, these notes are vague. Her dialogue "makes more sense" in Act 2? I don't quite recall precisely what they were before, but I'm pretty sure her lines made sense. But, this does indicate that Larian did deliberately change her SWD dialogue. There are one of two possibilities I can think of, 1) they intentionally reverted back to her EA lines where she mentions a daughter or 2) they recorded new SWD lines entirely but accidentally reverted to the old ones rather than add the new ones (although there is no indication of new recorded lines). If #2 is true, we can expect a future hotfix to wipe this one away. Another more anecdotal thing I want to mention is that Larian tends to respond to mass public opinion. I wasn't on Tumblr when the breakup went down, but I was on Reddit. And that period of time was the most any of the BG3 subreddits talked about Minthara, and most were not pleased with the breakup. It did not take too long for Larian to undo the breakup. Right now, it's almost as if Reddit is unaware of the new SWD lines even though some subreddits do, uh... enjoy the idea of Milfthara. Since there isn't a massive social response to it, I have my doubts Larian will do anything.

As a Minthara enjoyer, it gets very frustrating to have each new patch recharacterize her. It would genuinely piss me off if they take her baby away... AGAIN. We know this will be the last patch, but there will still be hotfixes for a little while. As excited as I was yesterday, I am going to reserve calling this canon until Larian completely moves on from BG3 (even though it is canon in my heart).

However, if this dialogue remains, it creates a continuity error with Minthara's character as she never mentions having a child while she is alive. She only mentions the kid if she is dead. But, it's not like I've recombed through all her dialogue with this new Patch and Death Domain Daedra just barely woke up on the beach so give her a minute. So far, the theory most have is Minthara keeps her daughter a secret to protect her. But, I do not see any reason why she would withhold info on her daughter to a romanced player.

Minthara does actively grieve her home and says she will miss it until the day she dies. She could, of course, be grieving a daughter she will never see again. But I would think that if she had a child, she would not resign so quickly on the idea of never going home. From the moment you recruit her, all her future speak is of her remaining on the surface. She really really wants to kill her mom, but accepts she never will because she accepts never going home again. Even at the end of the game, she still plans to live on the surface. You are the one who has to bring up returning to the Underdark and her sole intent is to kill her mother. That honestly would be the most appropriate moment to mention she has a daughter waiting for her at home.

It also isn't like Minthara to be so witholding either, even if her intent is to keep her daughter safe. But, once she reads your mind, she knows with certainty that you are a safe person to tell. Minthara also very much likes knowing your intent, and she explains her intent to you often. So she wouldn't hide her intent to retrieve her daughter if she goes to the Underdark with you. Yes, she does go to the Underdark on her own if not romanced. But I think she is compelled to go down there for a completely different reason and not for a child.

So, we have a Minthara who supposedly has a child, but never mentions one unless she is dead. Minthara is also very open about her life in the Underdark, but never once talks about how motherhood affected her life. And she never speaks of a kid to a romanced player when returning to the Underdark, the one person in the world who should know that they are about to be a stepparent. This child creates nothing but contradictions. Personally, I do headcanon she had a child anyway regardless of what Larian says. She is 200+ years old, has admitted to having many sexual partners, and would have had the expectation by her house to have a child at some point. I have thought this exact contradiction through many times over. My theory is that Minthara does not mention having a daughter because while the Absolute was erasing her, it also erased her memory of having a daughter. "Well, technically the lines happen if she dies after the Absolute torture." Ssshhhhhhhhh... I'm going to ignore that because this is the only way all of this works in my brain.

Bunnings trip with Maple and our friend today!

The general public absolutely Loved her today and she got many, many pats. She was on her best behaviour too, so she came across as extra charming.

One person even knew the breed! Though they asked if she was a pbgv first. No, she’s a geeb, just a little one 😆

Anyway Kaito was a Sonic Adventure Kid. Maybe not a full blown Sonic kid, but very specifically grew up on the Adventure Games. His favorite was SA2B because I'm shameless about inserting myself into characters.

Also this ties into the AuADHD headcanon I have for him so this is gonna be hella AuADHD coded but anyway:

He was OBSESSED with Crazy Gadget solely because of the gravity mechanic and Final Rush/Chase because SPACE. He got an Electric Guitar in his tweens that he messed around with as a hobby but the only song he knows how to play well is "Live and Learn" From Sa2. He also listened to that song on repeat and drove his grandparents crazy enough that they bought him headphones for his birthday. Sometimes he gets so excited that he needs to lock himself in his room and blast Live and Learn into his eardrums and play along with his guitar (Again, it's the only song he knows how to play) and he goes nuts. Jumps around his entire room. His room is a giant mess afterwards but he does not care!!! He never feels more alive than when he gets to do the most exaggerated, active Autism Stimming in the Universe!!

I think there is a very special tie to Kaito's interest in the SA series and his (very undiagnosed) AuADHD though.

Like on a sadder note, I don't think Kaito can happy stim otherwise. He probably got shamed for anything like hand flapping so he just, taught himself to hold that all back until he got home and into his room. There he could explode in the excited stim! But even then he probably was shamed for being so weird and stimming that he took up guitar just to get his hands to focus on something while he's buzzing too much. He dances around with his guitar and jumps around his room because he has a lot of pent up AuADHD energy.

But at least he does have this outlet--because when he's finally done he collapses onto his bed, almost breathless. Again he never feels more alive than when he's having a Moment in a safe space like his room, stimming in the only way he knows how. He just wishes he could feel like that all the time.

After he comes down from that emotional high he starts playing with his chao for an hour or two before he clonks out for bed.

imagine how much going to highschool in the venturiantale gmod roleplay universe must suck just like, on a social level.

imagine being some regular kid just trying to get through the most unstable time in your life and your classmates are chica from five nights at freddys, the rake, kylo ren, buzz lightyear, godzilla, an annoying kid with a lisp who you dont know the name of because he couldnt enounce it right the first time you asked and all subsequent times asking he just flipped you off in response, and wolfington

and your teacher dies on the first day of class and you dont even learn anything.

[prosebushpatch]

This is just on my mind for writing reasons, but im really interested in the psychology behind who people pick in fire emblem three houses without spoilers. Because the game gives you like a sentence snippet for each kid and you're left to deduce who you want to follow based on that and I feel like, looking back, I could tell immediately what kind of characters they would be and made my choice accordingly. But then I hear others first impressions of the characters I'm always surprised by their interpretations.

Sawmill Park

(Night In The Woods)

From all the "Rooms" in the entire game this hits the hardest for me.

There's a park that's similar to this near my home, so that's maybe why it's so nostalgic. There's also an absurdly hazardous structure, so it's even more similar.

Suddenly assaulted by the mental image of Rhaq'a's nieces following him like baby ducks when he's around. Uncle coming to visit is worth celebrating after all, he brings the coolest stories and all kinds of trinkets!

Actually, there's not a single moment to himself when he's staying with his family. Which is high-key exhausting.

[werewolfdog]

I really do appreciate our mutuals supporting me with my rambles about M as I go terribly insane over him, honestly. 😭 Part of me still feels awful being like this because um, That's My Coworker™️,,, but I can't help it with my emotional attachments. Also, it's not fully my fault being like this when he says and does so many things to + for me that makes me feel and think more intensely...
