mystra, among many other things: body snatches a woman (totally consensually dw!!!!!!!!) so she can make her more open to the idea of getting courted and adept at seducing with the ultimate goal of getting impregnated so she can pop out the seven sisters, while also never telling the man who is courting said woman and thinks the woman truly favours and loves him and never is told otherwise
mystra: leaves the woman a husk of herself, so deteriorated that she's more dead than alive, to the point of where the man feels forced to help her die and then proceeds to manipulate the man emotionally and physically until he is finally allowed to die, only not really bc she uses him to serve her even in death
a clown: uwu mystra is true neutral and would never do abuse ))): gale doesnt have a direct abuser and is the outlier among the companions, also here's how everything is actually all gale's fault in the first place )))))):
Today marks six years since my friend died of cancer. She was actually the younger sister of my best friend, but she was the younger sister who was always around and we loved it because honestly she was way cooler than all of us. And she was the nicest and funniest person I've ever met. I know people say that all the time but in her case it was the absolute truth. I've never known a single person who was just that genuinely GOOD of a person, and who could make me laugh so hard with a single word. And she had the BEST smile and the most infectious laugh and she was so loving and protective and SMART and I loved her so much.
And I thought I was okay, but I decided to take some time and look through old pictures of her and some made me smile but it also made me cry a lot and it also made me really angry, because she was only 22 and she had her entire life ahead of her, and it's not fucking fair she had it all taken away from her so early and it's not fair she spent her twenties fighting cancer when she should have been just going out and having fun and figuring out what she was going to do when she graduated college and stressing about cover letters.
And also it makes me angry because honestly the past few weeks have been really hard and they've been hard because people have been extremely shitty and maybe this is not the most rational reaction and it's not their fault that they're not grieving a friend who died too young but seriously what the fuck are you doing with your lives? Life is SO short and you're spending it being nasty to people? Being mean? Picking fights and spinning up battles in your head that don't even need to be fought? Just...why?
idk maybe I'm also having a delayed grief reaction from all the death over the summer/fall as well but I'm just...
Not to turn some very real human emotions into a fandom thing but we only have this one life. Treat it that way.
An unexplored dynamic: the WoL being in love with one of their fellow Scions, who doesn't return their feelings and gently but definitively rejects a romantic relationship with them, and the next several years of the WoL trying to figure out what to do with their unrequited longing with nary a healthy coping mechanism in sight.
