Minthara with her hair down makes me absolutely weak 🫠🤍 I gave her longer hair because her bun is quite large, I imagine it’s very long!

I romance Minthara as Tav and in both occasions where my Tav: (1) refused illithid power and saved the city and (2) accepted illithid power and saved the city, Minthara does mourn the fact that Tav refused the power to literally become a god, but understands and quickly looks forward to future conquests. And not only that, she chooses to take Tav's name (huge deal for a matriarch society like drow, let alone the Baenre family name). Minthara is also willing to die along with Tav during the final battle!?!?!? She cares for Tav ok.
So it makes no sense for her to breakup with Durge on the spot for refusing to be a god's slave, when she doesn't break up w/ Tav for refusing to be a god altogether. And this is shown in the Elfsong Tavern ending and the epilogue. Being a god sounds wayyyy more powerful than a god's slave. Not to mention commanding an army of illithids and the power to create more fighters for yourself??? Did I also mention the ability to control dragons if you seize the brain? lol

Minthara: there is nothing we can not do together...But despite everything we gave up when we destroyed the brain, it is good to be here with you.

And even if Durge didn't seize the Netherbrain, her attitude is more of "the past is in the past, I look forward to future conquests."
Given that Larian brought back the writers for the epilogue, they must have looked into the ending with redeemed Durge to write the epilogue, so tbh I'd go with that instead.
Also not to mention if Durge rejects Bhaal, Bhaal instakill Durge but Withers revives Durge, which frees Durge from Bhaal. I feel like that should be celebrated?
TLDR: It is in character for Minthara to be mad Durge gave up their power as a knee-jerk reaction for the first few mins (also Emma Gregory's performance is *chef kiss*), but it is ooc for Minthara to refuse to see the reason why and not give Durge a chance to explain.
Oh and this is if you ignore Minthara's entire character arc with Orin (Bhaal) and her relationship with Lolth and the Absolute. After Lolth and the Absolute, Minthara would never want to be under another god's control again (She explicitly states she prefers to die than be under the Absolute's control again if Tav kicks her out of the party). So if anything she would want to be "The Absolute" herself. The whole point of starting a new house is being free from constraints and obey no god.

Minthara in other words: it sucks you didn't seize the brain as an illithid, because the brain sex we could've had.
Minthara's disdain for the gods and the idea of serving/sacrificing for them is explicitly stated throughout the game. She craves power, but never at the expense of one's freedom/life.

Even with Vlaakith, the only reason Minthara doesn't wanna anger Vlaakith is because Vlaakith can and will floor your entire party instantly. Not because she wants to serve any fickle god. And let's not forget where Minthara wants to go spit on Lolth's statue in Baldur's Gate lower city.
TBH I don't think Larian would add a persuasion check simply because that requires new dialogue and voice lines, as datamine dialogue doesn't show any additional content besides this abrupt breakup. So Larian would need to bring writers and Emma back if they want to do this. Or the cheaper solution is remove it? Either way there's a mod for it already so hail modders XD
Anyway, I'm glad what I have for my Durge and Minthara deviates from the game almost entirely.

durge and minthara are such a cool parallel. how they killed for the sake of a deity that they considered the only true one, how in both of them families (well in durge's case "family") saw a vessel of their will and a tool for spreading influence how they both see themselves reflected in orin. but together they can actually break this circle of uncontrolled violence (and turn it into the circle of controlled and rational one hehehe). imo, the situation where the durge does not fully go through the redemption arc, but in the end rejects bhaal to have exclusive control over her decisions hits even better bc for her it is the same thing as liberation from the absolute was for minthara (and again minthara's phrase about shart situation that she would prefer us all to be free from our gods 😭). i mean yeah they are both still evil and ambitious women but now they are both free to make their OWN decisions this is soooo good I love them sooo much 😭
and a little sketch with my evil wives

And Valxus Bek’eli defied Bhaal, at the eleventh hour; because he looked at Lae’zel, and Astarion, and his lover, Minthara. And decided that “okay, maybe I have feelings about standing up against tyranny. Shit. Daddy really isn’t going to be pleased about this, is he?”
And then nothing else happened, consequences what consequences, the end.
Real talk — the ending if you save Orpheus and then deny Bhaal at the last minute is shocking, well-written horror that from the perspective of the story Larian was telling, I would not change.
…but I got so much more attached to this doomed himbo than I ever thought I would, so here’s his personal headcanon ending cliffnotes.
Val disappeared after the battle. Everyone thought he just needed to cool off, but then he was just… gone. Minthara went to Amn to try and find him — unsure if she was angry and wanted closure, or worried about him. She finally gave up on him in Amn, but never really stopped loving him.
Astarion sympathized, and offered her a halfway home at the palace. Maybe they have a fling. Maybe they end up hooking up properly.
Val turned up at the party, six months later. Seeing everyone at their first camp was too much, and he lost control. The party took him down, and have kept him dosed with potions of magical slumber while they work something out.

Inspired by a tweet that was inspired by a tumblr post that has been plaguing my mind since last night
I don’t even know minthara that well because I haven’t done a run with her but in my heart i think she would say this

Durge, who could not resist Bhaal and his thoughts about their beloved.
Narrator: *As soon as it tries to pass through your lips, you feel violently ill.*
Astarion: *Now you are what he fears most. A starved ratling, an itching prowler. A reminder of his worst self, best left to history.* (my heart... it's unbearable.)
Shadowheart: *Neither Selûne nor Shar will claim her in the end. Bhaal wants her more than those graven gods.*
Wyll: *You are the one villain the hero could not bring himself to kill*
Lae'zel: *You taught her everything about this world. Now she knows what she will lose.* (this one is just... wow)
Karlach: *She's running from the finest day of her life - the last one.*
Gale: *You hate him. He had the chance to level a city. You blaze with envy.*
Minthara: *Once you forgot to break the neck you cradled. You will not make the same mistake again.*
Halsin: *He loves all living creatures. You wonder if he will forgive his own maggots.*
Companion toasts, enjoying the celebration, Dark Urge performs a twisted mimicry of the toast with their dagger.
