only mystra would go "yes i am the source of all of your problems and am the reason you couldn't reach your full potential <3 but now you're free of me so you can do that now <3 i'm so smart and nice and am definitely a good-aligned goddess!!"

#she's not good aligned i'm arguing. she's self-aligned and the weave is.#well it's debatable whether she is the weave or whatever but it's a moot point. she and the weave are inextricable #she's self-aligned and the weave IS her so protecting the weave is obviously self-interest #at best she's lawful neutral #i lean towards lawful evil. and i think it's simply the fact that ao's commandments severely limit the gods' contact with mortals #that stops mystra from wreaking more havoc and being recognized as a deity that's more evil-aligned #similar to how god!gale thinks he's doing good but really he's doing bad #mystra thinks her self-preservation of the weave is the same as balancing good and bad uses of it but that's not true #i mean who is she to decide? clearly her decision-making skills are dubious if she cyclically grooms little boys despite dying and being #reincarnated as a different version of herself or having someone else entirely take up the mantle of mother of all magic. like!!!!#idk if i'm making sense but like. i'm having thoughts #baldur's gate 3 #also that's not mystra that's melissa. basic white girl aspect LMAO
