idk i think what is interesting about astarion to me is the fact that you have a guy who started out an asshole (normal type) and then spent two hundred years in a very carefully and specifically crafted (by the writers of the game) Become A Terrible Person Or Die nexus. like it wasn’t just a Torment Nexus, he wasn’t just in hell, i feel like this is very important not to forget, he was in hell but it was specifically a hell designed to, over time, kill the empathy of anyone trapped in it, kill their brain’s ability to prioritize other peoples’ survival, to numb one’s conscience.

and then he gets yanked directly out of that nexus and despite that the fact that he spent, again, two hundred years in a situation that was sort of a rock tumbler for the human soul, there’s still a pebble left in there. and it’s a pebble that can be grown if placed in the right environment and provided with a support network.

so i think it becomes interesting because it really does i think force you to start thinking about the limits of free will even on as basic a level as the human personality. i think the fact that he becomes such a different character based on player choice, that his end morality is so hugely dependent on player choice, is uhhh. a big part of what the devs were going for probably.

it makes a lot of people really uncomfortable to acknowledge some bad people would be good people if literally nothing changed except they had a good support network and different circumstances. especially because it means the opposite is also true. which is even more uncomfortable.

you know that part in the beginning of fellowship of the ring where gandalf is talking about how gollum is ultimately only like that because of the ring and gandalf thinks his story is sad? astarion is kinda like if they sexualized gollum.

*no actual beads were used but I figure if I can crochet a bead lizard I can embroider one

i do wonder if the rise in pseudoscience and conspiracy theories has anything to do with the whole "born too late to explore the earth born too soon to explore the galaxy" thing. like i think a lot of people crave discovery and adventure but all the easy stuff has already been found so they follow the nearest chump willing to convince them that all our current discoveries are lies and atlantis' ruins are just off the coast of florida. and bigfoot sucked my dick last week. trust us this time. we're the new scientists.

Fictionfolk doesn't include just fictionkin. It doesn't include just fictionkin and fictives. Lots of "fictionfolk isn't just fictionkin, fictives are valid too!" but I never see:

Fictionflickerers are fictionfolk, even if they don't have a permanent identity. People with fictional world hearthomes are fictionfolk, even if they're never a specific character. Fictherians are fictionfolk, even if they're a member of a species and not a specific animal character.

0/823 FOR OCTOBER'S RENT

hi whole post was messy my how things changed in one month's time. fascinating. anyway. my mom died 07/07. so, well! on the one hand, i'm. well. clearly not desperate to move away from her now, huh? on the other hand, i'd been so focused on getting her into an LTC facility with the help of hospice that i hadn't even processed the possibility she was gonna fucking die before that happened. and this is. very bad timing. i don't even have the money to get her cremated like she wanted, lol.

the whole reason i work part time right now is because i had to scale back from full time work to take care of her (being disabled, working full time, and caring for a dementia patient led to me having a full on psychotic break in 2021). i owe a shit ton of doctors money right now because i was focusing on my own health + RENT RENT RENT. i'm okay /right now/ but i'm going to need help in the future. rent is 823$ a month. i'm trying to prepare ahead before i wake up one day and find myself staring down a deadline. august is paid for. i can handle september. after that, i don't know because i have regular bills, 4 shifts in a 3 week period, and am gonna have to cut into the rent money for those bills.

PLEASE HELP. TY.

i am seeing ruckus' grisps far far more than regular dog feet so they have replaced what normal dog feet look like in my brain

I mean... these are 100% totally average normal dog feet for sure and not weird little hands at all

No horrid naked grispers here at all, no siree.
