Things that make me insane about Minthara's romance(s):

"I wanted this, for myself." Even in the midst of her total brain fog by the Absolute, she knows she wants to be close to Tav. Even when she's been manipulated not to merely serve, but to serve in ecstasy, she wants to be near Tav and that is the one thing she chooses to pursue for her own ends--which are purely pleasure and comfort.

This could have easily been a victory bang one night stand, which might have tracked with her being the "evil" companion, but it clearly meant more to her from the very beginning. She stays with Tav after the sex, she snuggles, and she willingly bears her heart to Tav about her fears and anxieties regarding the Absolute and her place on the surface.

If Tav pries into her thoughts while she's sleeping, they see "the scars of a life spent anticipating betrayal." Life in Menzoberranzan trained her to expect a knife in the back constantly, and she remains paranoid about this even on the surface. But even so, she takes this moment with Tav, seeking to overcome her own fears about intimacy.

The skill check you have to pass to convince her not to kill Tav? 2. She is looking for a reason to not have to kill Tav, even if Tav spoke complete heresy to her. She wants to let Tav live, she wants to see them again at Moonrise.

Obviously, the big sad puppy eyes when she turns to see Tav during her castigation in Moonrise. Worst moment of her life and who steps through the door? The one person she has wanted to be close to maybe since she left the Underdark.

The way the two gnomes torturing her call out her "longing for acceptance and affection from a mortal," which confirms that her night with Tav always meant more to her than just a hook-up. She wanted more than just physical intimacy--she wanted something emotional. And that is what is being highlighted in her torment as one of her worst failures--that she, essentially, wants to be loved.

Related to the above - after Orin is killed, Minthara sort of laments that if not for Tav's strange act of mercy in saving her from Ketheric and Z'rell, she would have been just one more casualty in Tav's quest to destroy the Absolute, and "nobody would remember me."

"You came. I prayed that you would." I am howling at the moon. Minthara, the paladin, prays for Tav. For Tav to come rescue her. Minthara, who spurned Lolth, who has realized the Absolute was a lie, prays for Tav to come and save her.

The interplay between Minthara and a Dark Urge's respective relationships with Orin--how Orin's brainwashing and torment was what set Minthara on her quest for revenge against the Absolute, and how Durge was perhaps the very first of the cult's victims and all the amnesia they've struggled with throughout the game the result of Orin's torture.

Related to the above - if Minthara is the one kidnapped by Orin in Act III, that once again Orin has taken Minthara captive and once again Tav will free her.

The way Minthara tries to pry into Tav's mind again in Act III, only to quickly withdraw and apologize for not asking first. Minthara! Apologizing! That instead of letting it go, she still asks if she can be allowed to look into Tav's mind, because she is so desperate to see how Tav sees her. If Tav says they'd rather just use words to tell her, Minthara insists that the parasite connection is more true and accurate, and she wants to see that.

That she is hoping Tav sees her like a lover, and is openly disappointed if that's not the case. (Tie back to point 6.)

The way she begs to see herself through Tav's eyes, because "without Lolth, without the Absolute, without my home, I do not know myself." Her sense of self is so tenuous that she turns to someone else to help her understand herself--and that person is Tav, possibly the only person in the world she trusts.

The adoring look she gives Tav after some of their kisses, followed by the throaty "thank you." Thank you! She thanks Tav for their gestures of affection! (Tie back to point 6.)

That she is quietly poisoning Tav to build up their resistance in case they ever go to her homeland.

"I have never needed anyone, but I want you."

The way she is so all-in once her romance is locked in. Tav can become the Slayer, become Bhaal's chosen, become a mind flayer, choose to enslave the brain, choose to destroy the brain, go to Avernus--no matter what they do, Minthara is with them. They are her Person.

Related to the above - if Tav does become a mind flayer and tries to leave her on the grounds that they're a monster, she says "So am I, my love. Let us be monsters together." She "mourns" the loss of the parasite, because she yearns to share minds with Tav in their new state.

If a mind flayer Tav tells her they need to figure out who they are alone, without her, she pleads for just one day to change their mind.

If romanced by a Karlach origin who chooses to die rather than return to Avernus, Minthara is in tears as she promises to stay with Karlach until the end.

If Tav proposes they return to Menzoberranzan and conquer it after defeating the Netherbrain, Minthara casts off Baenre and declares "their" new house will be named after Tav.

During the epilogue, she seems rather keen to leave, and no matter what dialogue option is chosen, she admits to a romanced Tav what bothers her: she's afraid no one there likes her.

Big fan of sun motifs in characters not necessarily being about positivity and happiness and how they're so " bright and warm" but instead being about fucking brutal they are.

Radiant. A FORCE of nature that will turn you to ash. That warmth that burns so hot it feels like ice. Piercing yellow and red and white. A character being a Sun because you cannot challenge a Sun without burning alive or taking everything down with them if victorious.

Missing Prompts

Still Missing Them:

"I can hear their voice, commenting on every stupid idea I have."

"Do you think they also miss me?"

"It's stupid to miss them so much."

"I miss even the things I hate about them."

"Every place reminds me of them, and it only makes me miss them more."

"I wake up and I miss them. I go to bed and I can't fall sleep."

"Being apart from them is the only thing I never want to get used to."

"I miss the dumbest things about them."

"I just want to be close to them again."

"It's like there is something just missing in my life."

Having Missed Them:

"I missed you every day. And every night you were with me in my dreams."

"It was like I had lost a limb. A part of me that nothing could replace."

"Every second without you felt like a lifetime."

"I spent every day wishing for this moment. For you to come back to me."

"Not sure what exactly I was missing."

"I felt so lost without you."

"It almost destroyed me. Missing them like crazy."

"Maybe I just missed what I thought we had."

"I don't ever want to feel that empty without you again."

Not Missing Them Anymore:

"I don't miss you anymore. Maybe the person you once were to me. But not you now."

"I used to miss you. Past tense."

"Being away from you made me realize that I'm fine without you."

"I thought I couldn't live without you. Turned out I can."

"Your absense felt massive. Now it feels like freedom."

"I finally stopped missing you the moment I realized you never missed me.

"You taught me a valuable lesson. I shouldn't miss what I never had."

"Letting go was easier than I thought."

"I wish you would have stayed away."

"I never thought I would ever get over you."

"Now I don't ever think about them anymore."

Heya! I love ur prompts!! do you have oneliners and prompts for a royal x royal ball dancing (preferably wlw)?

Hi, happy you enjoy them!

Not oneliners, but dialogue prompts and text prompts for you.

Royal x Royal Ball Dancing

Dialogue Prompts

"I would love to ask you for a dance." "Then please do."

"We had dance lessons since we were kids and it finally pays off."

"They are all staring at us." "Well they can't take their eyes off so much beauty."

"We make quite the good couple. And not only on the dance floor."

"I'm a princess. If there is something I know how to do, it's dancing at a ball with someone I intend to marry."

Text Prompts

Seeing their daughters twirling across the ballroom, the two kings knew it was time to start negotiations.

Her heart was beating so fast when she saw her approaching her, but it felt like it stopped completely when she held out her hand to her in a silent question.

Everyone who saw them dance knew that they witnessed the formation of a royal power couple.

It wasn't easy to dance with two giant dresses on, but they made it work.

Have fun with them!
