> social dysfunction

that's a lot of text! first of all, thank you so much! i think this is my fav timing and i think abt the timing with young gortash/building their relationship a lot (way more than i think about the timing of the actual game) so i'm especially glad to hear that 🤲🖤 i would be so happy to read each and every one of them aarrgrtgrehhehrrrgfd😤

-how you made Bane look like Durge and Bhaal look like Gortash actually, it wasn't planned, but when i saw them in the fandom i instantly got it (and also why i got so into bane/bhaal) // i get you! in general, after finishing the game i also dug deeper into the gods' lore &i'm an ambassador for toxic/slowburn through love-hate, so i absolutely agree))

-bane through tyranny, myrkul through inevitability, and then there is bhaal honestly, that's exactly why i usually imagine myrkul as being the closest in character to jergal, while bane and bhaal are more like two feral ambitious dogs

bhaal's position when he gets into the "divine rights" mindset and sounds like "i will be in control =/" "i choose death, and it is by my hand that all that you rule lord bane will eventually pass to lord myrkul. <...> since i can destroy your kingdom, bane, by murdering your subjects, and i can starve your kingdom, myrkul, by staying my hand." (that part makes me feel really good too)

// i always keep the meme about the parallels between bane/bhaal and durge/gortash in my head bcse they literally just flipped it around (+ my durge ends up refusing bhaal, but not the plans, which is even funnier to me)

while the divorced ones bane/bhaal are basically: "by the way, i'll be killing to CONTROL UR TYRANNY" durge/gortash do: "i'll be killing people FOR UR TYRANNY"

// about passion - that too! i think they tried to touch on this in the game with "the ecstasy of murder"? + it works really well with the theme of bhaalspawn in general actually, that's another reason why durge's "prayer" feels like something even more intimate 🤌
