So initially I was like ok, Hiraeth takes their paladin oath after the events of Act 2 and don't tell anyone and especially don't tell Astarion because they're afraid he'll react badly.
But that's a braindead take. And based on the Oath of Vengeance, which isn't relevant anymore.
Now I think that, um, actually? Astarion and their relationship with him is one of the primary motivators for them taking the oath. Obviously they wouldn't admit it to him anytime soon, but c'mon. Kindle the Light? Shelter the Light? Bruh. "Oh so this mean nasty vampire man has sad round eyes and soft hands and is able to feel gentle things even after centuries of torture? You mean to tell me there is light even in the darkest places and it's worth nurturing? Hmm wow so there are good things in the world? Ok I will protect them with my fucking life then."

I recently had to do a project in one of my psych classes, and man, I knew that CBT was used for every little thing, but seeing over and over, "do CBT! CBT is the best for every mental illness!" was so jarring. I'm absolutely biased because of my own experiences, but I just don't think it's as universal a treatment model as it's touted.
If you didn't benefit from CBT, it's not because you're lazy or didn't try hard enough or lacked intelligence or foresight into your own needs. Frankly, it's a therapy model that (I think) shouldn't be the only readily-accessible model and among the only therapy models covered by insurance. Some of us should not be treated in a CBT model and that's okay. It's not a sign of poor character or unreasonable demands, and if you don't think it's a model that works for you, then it's your right to express that!

Blood sticks, sweat drips
Break the lock if it don't fit
A kick in the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better than none
———
wait what do you mean a red string of fate ties us together but all we do is strangle each other with it. what do you mean this string can only stretch and tangle but never break and yet we keep biting and gnawing on it to try to free ourselves from it anyway.

I think one of the reasons why people think Duke is the least insane or most normal member of the batfam (aside from the just not knowing much about him) is bc hes the only bat who hasn't had beef with another member of the family I mean Duke even gets along with Jason - anyway my solution to this is that Duke should get to physically fight another member of the family and my personal pick is obviously Tim Drake
