thinking about how when Garroth gets back from the Irene Dimension he immediately gives himself the task of fixing up the old docks. thinking about how the docks first came about as a direct result of Aphmaus influence on the town originally, her tasking herself out of her own good-will to fix up and serve the first town she stumbled upon and decided to call home. thinking about how garroth says he fell in love with her as soon as he knew she was a good person. thinking about how Aphmau paving streets and renovating villager houses is what made him love her. thinking about how the docks was Their spot, it's where he saw her off and waited for her to come back from all her out-of-town quests, its where they meet up after Donna and Logan's wedding and where Garroth goes to reflect after Zenix's betrayal and is comforted by her. thinking about how Garroth's love for Aph is ultimately an extension of his love for Phoenix Drop and her love for Phoenix Drop is how she shows she loves him. Thinking about when he comes back from the Irene Dimension, after inadvertently leading the town to decay, blaming himself for Aaron's death, and irreparably damaging his relationship with Aphmau his first course of action is to fix up the docks. He's fucked up and the only thing he feels he can do is what Aphmau did so long ago that proved to him she was a worthy lord and a good person: roll up his sleeves and pick up a hammer and nail.

Currently thinking about Aphmau and Laurance and certain lore info...
So we know that Aphmau is either Irene herself that woke up again from that staff or a reincarnation (I'm betting on her actually being Irene who just lost her relic and memories).
And we know Laurance is a shadow knight. And shadow knights gain immortality when they kill their lord.
SO!
Let's say Aphmau is Irene, and gains all of her old powers back when she absorbs the relic. We know Irene lived for a long time, outlived her friends, etc. Now that could be because she spent a lot of time in her dimension where time passes quickly. BUT! Let's just say for my own selfish purposes that not aging is just one of her powers from her relic.
And let's also say that shadow knight immortality works like this: Shadow knights aren't human anymore. We don't exactly know what they are, but it's something otherworldly and the process begins with the shadow knight's human death. So really... would it make sense for them to age?
Now they can definitely die. They only gain true immortality when they kill their lord. But aging? I don't think something otherworldly and inhuman can age. The nether is a strange place where nearly all of the beings there are senseless monsters.
I'm sure y'all have picked up on my line of thinking already.
But what if Laurance never left. What if he stayed loyal to Aphmau for all of those years? After another decade people would start noticing that neither of them are aging. For Laurance it's obvious why, but for Aphmau, it's a new aspect of Irene's power that she's coming to understand.
It drives her to panic. Because as the years pass, her friends start getting older and older. Garroth and Dante soon retire from being guards. Her kids are having children of their own. But she's still the same.
She doesn't want to outlive her friends. But it's out of her hands. The only way to remove a relic from someone is through their death.
But Laurance is still there, still as devoted to her as ever. And she leans on him now more than ever because he still looks the same as the day he came back from the nether. He understands in the way no once else can.
As even more time passes, Aphmau has to give up any leadership position she has because whispers of her not aging are floating around. More people are flocking to see her, calling her Irene, calling her a goddess, wanting her blessings.
But all the attention just shoves the fact that she can't age right in her face. So she leaves.
Most of her and Laurance's friends are elderly now, at least, the ones that didn't go to the Irene dimension all those years ago. And her children are all grown, wrapped up in their own lives. None of them have been spared of the goddess Irene's revival. People bother them daily, trying to figure out where she is, trying to get into contact with her. So really, leaving is the only way to give them peace.
Laurance accompanies her, and they travel to different regions, hoping to gleam some hidden knowledge about the relics. They had tried learning about them before... but then Shad came back in Aaron's body and the whole ordeal had driven her away from finding knowledge about the relics.
More time passes, and it's just the two of them, looking the same as they did when they met a century ago. A forgotten lord and her guard. Only known now as a goddess and her monster.
Aphmau was never the type to indulge in things like love, especially when there were more important matters going on. But with everyone she cared about being long gone aside from Laurance, she finds that she's truly grown to care about him. And truly, he's her only option. He won't age and die like the others. He won't leave.
And hasn't he been here all this time?
She remembers long ago, being ready to accept his affection after the werewolf wedding. But he stopped her, wanting Garroth to have a chance.
Garroth isn't even alive now. They attended his funeral a decade ago.
Perhaps she just wanted things to stay the same? And in her and Laurance's relationship, it had. He's still as flirty as ever, vying for her affection. Perhaps she had fooled herself into thinking it was just an old habit. Perhaps he had begun to believe this was all that he could have with her and was fine with it.
But if there was anyone to love, wouldn't it be him? Wouldn't it be the guard that's been there for her for a century and will be there for more to come?
So one day, when they've traveled back to Phoenix Drop, which is more of a city than a village these days, and are looking back at all of the old structures that Levin's daughter insists of keeping for historic purposes... Aphmau tells him.
She tells Laurance that she loves him. Because she does. He's been there for her for ages now, will always be there for her. And she'll be there for him as well.
Sorry if that got gooey and weird and hard to follow. I'm currently very sleep-deprived, lol.

“How do you do that?” Celia said.
“Do what?”
“Act so cavalier about things that are sacred to other people?”
“Because other people have got nothing to do with me.”
Celia scoffed, somewhat gently, and looked down at her hands.
“Except you,” I said.
I was rewarded with the sight of her looking up at me.

Something I love about confronting Cazador is how he obviously never processes that Astarion has friends until it's too late.
Petras and Dalyria must have mentioned that Astarion wasn't alone when they met him, but when you read Cazador's journal? He's 100% fixated on Astarion. How Astarion stood in the sun, how Astarion was willing and able to disobey him. And when Astarion shows up, Cazador barely acknowledges the party at all - and sure, that's partly because this is Astarion's moment in the narrative, but Cazador doesn't so much as ask why these random strangers are there! They're not part of his plans, so they don't exist.
And then they immediately save his errant spawn from the ritual and start beating his ass.
Just. What must have been going through Cazador's head when that fight starting turning against him? 'Is that... the Blade of Frontiers? Why is a monster hunter - and is that a cleric? - helping a vampire spawn? An undead? Ah, but they must be treating it as a necessary evil to have a chance to slay me, of course - hold on, why is the cleric healing Astarion? Why does that wizard keep Counterspelling everything I'm casting at Astarion, why waste the spells when I'm not even targeting him? Did... did that druid just cast Daylight on Astarion's weapons? And that brute of a tiefling - that's not just disgust in her eye when she looks at me, it's fury - and she keeps putting herself in front of Astarion, why in the hells would she - she's running right at me- '
I hope that one of the last things Cazador ever knew was the choking realisation that Astarion didn't just come back strong, or free. Astarion came back loved.

do you like the grump sunshine trope for the giggles and laughs or do you like the idea of pestering someone being your most annoying self to someone and having them still stick around instead of thinking you're too much and do you also like the idea of being special enough to someone to be one of the few people someone who doesn't normally smile, chooses to smile at. do you wish the rays of your affection weren't received with shunned squinted eyes, and instead actually warmed someone and made their life better, added something to it. do you wish you were needed and unable to be replaced because someone needed your 'too much' because it was just enough for them, for once you're enough.

An interesting internet culture thing I’ve never seen discussed is the “shared unstated”, where someone will say an incomplete sentence leaving out the most crucial information and yet it conveys an idea or emotion that everyone just. Gets.
An example of this is when people are reacting emotionally to something and they just say “I’M” and then leave off any verbs or anything else in general. We started out with “IM SCREAMING” or “IM DYING” and then evolved just into “I’M” which holds almost no information and yet, we get it.
Another example is the recent “one of the most of all time” phrase. The first time I saw it was about a very strange looking little creature, like maybe one of those rodents with the elongated snout, and one of the comments was “one of the most animals of all time.” The crucial adjective is missing but the Vibe is present. Is it one of the most beautiful animals, the best animals, the coolest animals, the weirdest animals? Certainly not. And we all know it’s not. But it definitely is one of the most animals, which is a separate thing. Idk. It just is. We just get it. It’s the shared unstated.
