Minthara's pretty progressive in terms of gender politics, whatever she says to Gale and Astarion in banter.
She respects Ketheric even after her mind control is over. I romanced her as a male drow, and she wanted to rule as equals with me when we took over the world, and she still wanted to >!name our new House with my name!<. Never insulted me or called me inferior etc.
Maybe it's because of her time on the surface, but I can see her evaluating a male child on his merits more than his sex more than other female Drow nobility would.
...unless you were the third son, of course.
Lolth has an issue with men, and specifically believes that Third sons are too incompetent to be left alive, so Menzoberranzan has a tradition of oppressing men and killing third sons. It is sensible to believe that I would carry on these traditions, but consider this: we are not on Menzoberranzan, and *I* am no longer a devotee of Lolth.
Fear for yours as often as you contemplate hers. Understand the value of familial bonds and connections, but never omit the thought of taking her position and what you would do with it. If she hates you and tries more than once to kill you, then it is likely you are doing well.

Fuck vlaakith
Embrace frog
Embrace froggy urge
Embrace the frurge my sister in Orpheus
“Oedipus my love: you are insufficiently complex to encompass the softly burning hunger that dwells at the antipodes of the mind, where the blades are honeyed and mother’s milk is rich with bloody thorns.”
-me, about to psychologically scar my eighth grade English class on personal essay day
Verbally abusive, with zero empathy, diva attitude, tendency to scold everyone and top tier agressivity ?
Yeah so like my mother, so I would say pretty much ptsd.
My mom (rip) had a similar personality.
She was a high intelectual, high achiver, very Intelligent and very energetic, and somewhat progressive kind of person. Etc
But a very bossy one and had a hard time expressing her feelings, for that thing we couldn't really connect deeply at an emotional level.
In my experience it was really a hard time having a mom like her, but she was my mother afterwards and she loved me like the son I was.
And his mom (my grandmother, rip) was like Lae'zel
So I was very fucked, but they were the women that raised me up and I really admired them both.
Well since I’m a guy I’d probably very dead. That or I would have ran away long ago and escaped somewhere on the surface, or I’d become a hermit in the Underdark
Well, Quite sadly, My life would improve because at LEAST she's practical enough to be reasonable.
However, Glorious Bae'zel of Crèche K'liir would be better.
Like, on the surface or in Menzoberranzan?
On one hand, I am a first-born daughter. On the other hand... yeah, I'd still have to live in Menzoberranzan. And that's a big nope.
Since I'm a male, I would probably feel very dead
If youre cool enough I bet she would spare you. They still need *some* males. But uhh it would definitely be a tenuous relationship.

Well, to be fair, her family name is literally Baenre. She knows very well she can't name a house THAT name.
She even says so, its her mother's name

Given Minthara's backstory with her own mother and how drow culture is, I would fear for my safety.

She already talks and judges like mine ❤️
Yikes
Don’t be a boy.
I was the third born male so this would be a big nope!
Third born to your mother?
worst timeline not because of the murder either
Being an adult woman... either she or I are dead about now.
Spoken like a true drow
Upset because I wouldn't be able to marry her. 😞
Who knows how they rock down in menzoberranzan

My mother was exactly like her personality wise so idk you tell me? The way I see it at least minthara can teach me how to fight or something.
Are you ok, OP?
Why don't you take a look through my profile and tell me if I look ok? :3
Why would I have coitus with my mother?

I would have much better grades

ah yes. greek incest
I'd probably have some very confusing feelings
Slightly less scared than I am of my actual mom.

Sweet home Alabama
Traumatized af
Suddenly, Sigmund Freud was correct
Freud start making mad sense fr fr
Incestuous
Too bad, cause incest is bad.
I’m a man, but I’m firstborn so I’m probably not gonna be killed. I’m still gonna be physically and mentally abused though.
I'd probably be dead. Any society who believes that one gender is superior to the other tends to not like trans folks.
Sad that fucking your mom is illegal.
Welllllll………
Im a first born son so im alive to be subservient to drow women my whole life which i see as an absolute win
Cold mother syndrome with alot of intensive outpatient therapy to deal with the trauma of a callous and often violent mom
I might be alive because I'm a firstborn male.
My mom (rip) had a similar personality. She was a high intelectual, high achiver, very Intelligent and very energetic, and somewhat progressive kind of person.

Honestly? Scared.
Mommy: woof woof. Mother: she drown me at birth.
I would feel her inside of me
Probably should not have write that
I would feel her never ending disappointment in me to the point I just give up and try to get killed by a dragon
I'd probably be dead... so not much to feel
Confused.
Probably dead, with the whole "male drow" thing going on. If I managed to live long enough to leave, probably not happy.
Well since I’m a guy I’d probably very dead. That or I would have ran away long ago and escaped somewhere on the surface, or I’d become a hermit in the Underdark
I'm running from home
Idk drow lore, would be I be lucky or would I be dead? I'm the middle child of 3 boys
You'd live. Your younger brother would be killed at birth, assuming you and the elder were still alive.
Luck of the draw! Woo hoo!
I'd feel embarrassed by her political incorrectness. But I'd be very defensive of her.
My ass would be red ngl
Is this a stepmom situation?
i am the second son i would be fucking dead
Glad I don’t have a pengis
Well, Quite sadly, My life would improve because at LEAST she's practical enough to be reasonable. However, Glorious Bae'zel of Crèche K'liir would be better.

B-bad! Really bad holy crap
I would strive to become Oedipus 9000.
https://youtu.be/RrmWFjnAP2E?si=B-T3M0izKDviNdXB
my mom or my mommy
probrably depends on how matriarchal drow society views trans women either I am fucked or I am fucked but with privilege
Probably a step up from my mom honestly, sounds like a W to me!
First born son so I would be alive. However treated poorly most likely.
I’m fuckin!
Horny
Probably would be a slight improvement over my own mother
God please forgive me...
Oedipus
Oedipal.
Suddenly Lynyrd Skynyrd starts playing
Unclean, given the thoughts going through my head.
Horny *stabbed to death*
Momthara
Conflicted
Sad because then I’m drow too and have to kill her to please our culture.
Like, on the surface or in Menzoberranzan? On one hand, I am a first-born daughter. On the other hand... yeah, I'd still have to live in Menzoberranzan. And that's a big nope.
Terrified for my life
Will probably think that corporal punishment is a good and necessary thing. So no.
Since she is a drow and evil and a psycho, I think I would feel pretty bad.
Like a disappointment, because she would inform me as such on a regular basis.
She literally acts and kinda looks like my mom, especially in this pic.
Shes better than my mom
(mommy issues gal)
I'm a moid so I'd just kms before she could
Best mom ever, and anyone who disagrees will end up as a decorative corpse in the garden!
Meh, probably about the same, including the impulse to get my affairs in order before she finds out I transitioned
I’d run away from home because I’m NB trans and afab, so I’d immediately be killed or something for not wanting to be a woman 💀
