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.

im one of the biggest aranea fans out there. i love her. have been for years. BUT.
i do often toss around the idea of araneas role being replaced with feferi, who i think couldve served this role for several reasons...
feferi has probably the closest thematic ties with the dream bubbles, both helping create them and being our first real exposure to the afterlife. she could have easily remained relevant in the story as a ghost.
act 6, esp early act 6, is about the condesce. yes we get plenty of meenah but she doesnt actually do much outside of the intermission. i think having the three iterations of peixes in major character roles wouldve been! interesting!
then theres feferis classpect. witches are among the most powerful classes, and feferi as a witch of life (even an unrealized one) would have massive potential over the outcome of the new timeline and the new universe.
feferis coddling and slightly manipulative nature (YES she does have flaws and i love her for it) could easily be exacerbated by circumstances to manifest as a savior/god complex for the new timeline. paaarticularly if the horrorterrors are getting killed left and right by lord english.
just. agh agh agh. feferi you have so much potential you are like an egg to me.

Ok so i havent seen the actual movie yet but i just want to ask does anyone have a clear pictures of Inspector Singh cause from what i have seen he looks like a sikh man and if he were than that means that Gayatri would be named as Gayatri Kaur instead of Gayatri Singh

that is. kind of comforting if I'm real. whole life I've just been a failure of a girl in every way. I was always hypercritical of and ostracized by how Wrongly my body functioned. I get so much shit every time I go outside still. tween girls make sure to point and laugh at my big hairy body at the pool. I spend an absurd amount of time grooming myself to minimize harassment on the daily, but it's never enough, and the hair grows back within 24 hrs anyway

It's kinda funny.
I talk about how I don't want people to misunderstand Solita as a character. There's no easy answer to her. Where do the sins of an abuser end and the sins of the victim begin? There's no simple path forward. You can't just separate Solita from Deity, there's a long, convoluted path she has to walk to be able to walk away.
But Solita is also meant to be misunderstood. She's purposely misleading. She's a habitual liar, and not even honest to anyone, not even herself. She's confusing and unpredictable, and shapes herself to what others want her to be. A friend, an enemy, or anything in between. She's approachable and yet unreachable. An actress in life.
