but anyway that oathbreaker dialogue is so interesting with the 7k spawns because if she was against balthazar binding aylin so ketheric could use her, she's def against astarion (and cazador) sacrificing the spawns for power. and i like freeing the spawns after bc shri'iia believes in the presence of choice (!!) and they should be the ones to decide if they want to live or die. it doesn't matter to her what they choose to do later, but what's important is that they're the ones making that choice you know - like i think that's what her newfound oath is about, just having that presence of choice be available to you bc before she just followed lolth and her tenets without question. but now she's free... and she gets to make her own choices for better or for worse.. and all the consequences are now hers to face... and in turn she doesn't want anyone's autonomy to be taken away from them. they deserve to make their own choices - their freedom is theirs to take..!!!

#sometimes i think about shri'iia and i want to gnaw on her dumb face like she is everything to ME....#anyway i def think she would've killed astarion if he didn't back down lmfao like in my head the scene was more intense and she actually #threatened to smite him.. which makes it all more painful bc it's also the moment that she realizes she's in love with him #like it's her realizing she WILL do this painful decision and she KNOWS it will break her in a way that she can't comprehend #and it's also painful for her but above everything shes a person who follows her own ideals ... like shes a paladin shes not normal about i #and i like the idea that she actually gets scared at the depths of her own feelings like there's that passage from a drow handbook #that i read before where theyre talking abt drows falling in love and getting scared of it bc they havent experienced it before #so im just imagining shri'iia being so alarmed and frightened post cazador fight that she actually ignores him lmfaooo which is like #so bad for him bc that's the time that he actually figures out what HE wants for the first time in like 200 years and he can actually get i #meanwhile she's having the worst time ever.. .these two are a mess to ME okay but that's what makes it fun #the graveyard scene would've happened like 3 days after just bc shri'iia was ignoring him and i think he would need more time to figure #stuff out abt himself honestly .. but man just imagining her avoiding him when hes like emotionally vulnerable it's so bad for them
