"Oh, Vierna. My heart sings to see you."

lolth tells athalia she wants to speak to vierna to reestablish a connection, vierna complies. I don't think lolth knows what personal space is

absolutely out of my mind obsessed. OBSESSED. with liliana always saying "he" and, even if we know it's ludinus, never saying his name and obfuscating him with predathos, these two pillars of limitless power & incredible cruelty that chain her, stronger than her, in her own words. how he needs her. how he admires & values & even in some way adores her, and maybe more. how she's pulled ludinus back from the very edge. her trying to change him, and zerxus 1000 years ago trying to change asmodeus and jester trying to change artagan and caleb trying to change essek and the m9 trying to change lucien and opal trying to change lolth, and imogen, trying to change her own mother. this cycle of desperate belief in redemption that can succeed or fail, the coin that hasnt landed on a side yet. how that's freedom for some. how that's a whip, a martinet on the back of the reformer for others. the belief in set fate vs the vanguard belief in changing destiny. generation upon generation of hope & abuse that can so easily become one or the other or both at once for eon upon eon. how the gods who created these mortals who seek any glint of kindness desperately wish, in this moment, for redemption themselves. "to reach a hand down to somebody, they need to be beneath you". but the gods are in the sky. and their saviors are on a lonely planet & lonelier moon, locked together by a cycle of violence & desperation started by them so long ago.

Menzoberranzan — the City of Intrigue, the City of Spiders.

Menzoberranzan was the most spectacular of cities, breathtaking, surreal, and an ignorant visitor— who would not be ignorant, or likely even alive, for long!— would never guess that the artisans of such beauty were among the most malicious of Toril’s races. Legend of Drizzt - Siege of Darkness

Been doing lots of research on Drow and the influence of Lolth to get a better impression on their concept in DnD, and to try and nail down what I find so fascinating about them considering I find the idea of "biologically Evil or Good fantasy races" so dull usually. And this random comment on one lore video caught my eye.

I just thought this was really insightful: like given DnD's history of being written from a largely evangelical Christian perspective (ie Gygax) it's not surprising how this idea of being broken is conflated with things like Original Sin, leading to this bizarre notion of inherent evil. When instead it can mean acknowledging and working through trauma that was experienced through no fault of your own, and for which healing is still possible.

Anyway, very inspiring reading as I put together my next character: a drow trans girl who's a swordsinger of Eilistraee who just wants the cycles of violence to stop.

[Image ID] youtube comment by MythosTheSophist. Here's something to remember about Drow: Elves, like Humans, are born broken. An Elf was only complete at the dawn of time, when it was free and perfect with Corelon. Drow are still Elves, but Lolth took their pieces and twisted them. There was a time, before the Crown Wars when they were just lost, now they are banished to the deepest darkness of the world, having lost their connection to the light and to the weave. In a way, the surface Elves are not wrong comparing the Drow to Humans. A surface Elf will claim it was born perfect, but a Human or a Drow will admit on being broken and some will even try to put themselves back together. That's why Eilistraee is a Good Goddess, because she promises: I will put you back together. [/Image ID]
