When I Was A Teenager It Felt Very Revolutionary To Be Cruel To Myself. Like Some Kind Of Slow Passive

when i was a teenager it felt very revolutionary to be cruel to myself. like some kind of slow passive protest against how much everything hurt. i starved myself of sleep and food and tenderness because it felt right. it felt sharp and angry and radical and i wanted to be those things. adulthood is the realisation that the world is already working to cut into you well before you learn how to do it yourself. caring for yourself and others is the real protest

I'm sorry but it's so fucking funny to me that a large portion of the fandom (in my experience) has Halsin being this extremely patient, kind, loving soul (which he totally can be!) and yet THIS is but ONE in-game chatter dialogue he has-

I... Halsin is fucking savage y'all. And I love it.

Minthara says of her first lover that "I adored her, and had been sharing her bed for some time when the order came that she must die. I stayed with her while the poison did its work, and whispered words of comfort as she slipped away."

And later, we learn in dialogue between Gale and Minthara that she's been slipping small doses of venom into Tav's food so that they'll build up an immunity if they ever visit Menzoberranzan.

Minthara is making sure that Tav will never die the way her first lover did.
