#my point is that in Orpheus and Eurydice — Aylin is Eurydice
Text
I don't know how to explain that I absolutely agree with Aylin + Isobel as lovers out of a fairytale but that Aylin is the "damsel" and Isobel is the "knight"
#OOC / HOLLY.#inasmuch as either of them can be a damsel#I don't think Isobel gets enough credit for her own abilities and being well capable of handling herself#not my point tho#my point is that in Orpheus and Eurydice — Aylin is Eurydice#in Perseus and Andromeda / St. George and the Dragon — Aylin is the princess chained to the rock#like. if BG3 had been about them Isobel would've descended to free Aylin from the Shadowfell#and if you betray Aylin to Lorroakan Isobel is the one who fights in defiance of the odds to free her#neither is a damsel in the sense of a helpless waif whose only narrative purpose is to legitimize the other as a hero#I just love that normally Aylin is Heracles and Atalanta and Samson#but w/in the dynamic with Isobel she's Eurydice and Andromeda#in other words Aylin is Peach and Isobel is Mario and y'all're welcome for that mental image
