Act 2 Theta

Act 2 Theta

Short explanation: She’s happier :)

Long explanation: Theta wanted to separate herself from her celestial roots. She was raised by a celestial parent whom was a warrior, and forced to follow rigid rules and regulations. She was to hate humans, but live alongside them, as she was to take care of those who were ignorant and “too stupid to take care of themselves”. Her mother’s hatred was rooted in the fact she loved and lost a human partner, who abandoned her years and years ago. (Sound familiar ppl who grew up w religious trauma /waves)

And once Theta was kidnapped by the ship and forced to be without her mother, all she could do was follow what she was told— To be rigid, cold, and unfeeling. Throughout act 1, early act 2, she started to learn how to be herself! :> and in turn, wanted to be more human. So, with her companions help, she abandoned her more rigid ways to live more freely— Which helped her starting to be more herself.

To learn to love yourself is a monumental task. I just think it’s funny all it took was getting infected with a mindflayer tadpole to have Theta realize she can be who she wants, not who she’s ‘destined to be’.

I’m such a sucker for both of them learning how to be more human

Theta loves it, Raphael hates it obviously— But I like to think her compassion would rub off on him, eventually. Even if for just a moment

Also I just wanted an excuse to draw them cozy tee hee

wait-

When Tav gives themselves to haarlep, he says that whenever he makes love using Tav's form, they will feel it.

But later, there is a scene where Tav explicitly feels pleasure because Haarlep is using their form.

DOES THIS MEAN THAT RAPHAEL HAD SEX WITH HIS INCUBUS USING THE FORM OF TAV????????

There’s a chance they might like each other.

(About to be sick. )
