Experienced several previously undiscovered emotions today because my (conservative) mom said being gay is a choice because SHE likes women too but she simply chooses not to acknowledge it

my dream as a fanfic writer is to write a story which people want to talk to me about and send asks about afterwards and discuss things the characters did and the symbolism and meanings behind certain lines and I'll be all "hehe thanks" but irl I'll be in literal tears because I wrote something that means something to someone

love makes me tremble (against you there is no defense)
‘On those rare occasions when people have surprised me in the past, I received new scars to remember them by. You are different - a pleasant surprise. One of the first in my long life’.
Four times Tav surprised Minthara, and one time Minthara surprised Tav.

alrighty so managed to do the knock out minthara recruitment but it took me three tries because it's not at all as simple as it sounds. gonna post exactly how i did it because having it not work three times killed me
speak to halsin to get the kill the goblin leaders quest. don't get him to accompany you. id already killed gut by this point so i don't think she makes a difference.
turn on non-lethal damage. attack the guard next to minthara to get the -attitude. knock her out and deal with any other goblins that rush in.
kill ragzlin before a long rest. deal with any goblins that rush in.
long rest in the room you find ragzlin in. use free camera or w/e it's called to check that minthara is up and about in the other room. she should be up and on full health.
fast travel to the emerald grove environs and speak to zevlor, without telling halsin you've killed the leaders. he'll tell you halsins shown up already.
i went straight to the tieflings party in that convo, went to the shadowlands through the underdark, met the harpers, ran to the convo to kill the drider and get the lantern and straight to moonrise to find minthara. she was there when i did all the above steps.
there's probably other ways to do it and I don't know exactly what it was about this one that worked, but I think it's to do with making sure you kill ragzlin after knocking her out but before you long rest, because the time i long rested in between she didn't show up in moonrise.

i keep thinking about the datamined conversation between halsin and minthara and what gets me about it is that if you side with halsin and turn minthara away, thats objectively the bad choice.
like at this point, you've rescued minthara from moonrise. you know now that she was being controlled to act against her will. you've gone to the trouble of rescuing her from her tormentors, and you've experienced what it felt like as they tried to destroy her mind. you know what will happen to her if you turn her away. and if you do, you're willingly condemning her to that fate. you've essentially allowed her to experience freedom, to regain her sense of self, only to tear that away from her again.
whereas if you side with minthara, and halsin leaves, that's the only consequence he experiences. that he's not a companion anymore. at this point, we've saved the grove, we've saved him, and we've lifted the shadow curse. we've helped him achieve what hes been hoping to do for over a century. leaving your party won't see him lose his free will. he can return to the grove and live his life.
the choice is essentially either condemn someone to a fate worse than death, knowing exactly what that entails vs not letting someone travel with you anymore. its pretty clear cut to me.
its just interesting to me that they've switched the morality of it around given that minthara is considered the 'evil' companion by so many.

thinking about how minthara says that she was never able to enjoy the taste of food for fear of poisoning, or the company or friends or lovers because they might be hiding knives behind their smiles, and then immediately follows it up with saying she was happy because she knew her place in the world and im just like. i dont think you were happy babe i think you're autistic and were used to a routine!!
at some point shes gonna be cuddling with tav and think i dont think ive been this happy since... oh wow. ive never been happy. bad!
