If you make ME2 deeper than they likely intended, you can read Morinth and Samara as two sides as of the same person, and killing one will always kill the other in some way.
#OOC / HOLLY.#MOBILE.#smth smth Morinth as all the freedom and hedonism Samara once reveled in#smth smth Morinth as all her cleverness and tenacity and strength#but also her capacity for violence and debauchery and flightiness#smth smth the fight between out worst impulses and selfishness vs the ethics and social norms that keep them in check#smth smth that quote from Stoker as having children so we can wipe the slate clean#but also smth smth generational trauma#smth smth Samara and Morinth being identical in appearance and Morinth being able to minic her exactly. to assume her identity#smth smth Justicars and Ardat-Yakshi as two ends of an extreme#both killers who can topple states singlehandedly#one bound by a brutal Code. one unbound and simply brutal#smth smth Justicars embodying justice and the norms of asari nature#Ardat-Yakshi representing destruction and chaos and the antithesis of those norms#I should sleep I get up early#but it’s JUST !! they are two ends of an extreme in every way#in a sense two ends of a whole person#killing one is always killing the other. the surviving one doesn’t survive for long / can never be truly complete#but they’re irreconcilable they can never come together#all those TOS eps where Kirk met his evil doppleganger only to learn the darkness is an essential part of himself but must be restrained by#his morals and compassion. then they merge and he’s whole and functional again#smth smth Samara giving birth to all her weaknesses all her mistakes everything she wanted to leave behind#but you can’t just lock that away#spend 430 years hunting literally your personal demons personified who si your daughter that you birthed and raised#I’m not making sense anymore I’m just half asleep and a lil unhinged about these two
