Promises - bg3 comic Astarion, Sebastian

I hope you enjoyed!

Something about the parallel of Astarion having six “siblings” and six companions(includingTav). Forced family vs found family

“And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone. [...] When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.”  🩸

“In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.” 🌻

Two souls, reunited.

(quotes from Madelline Miller's The Song Of Achilles)

can yall imagine the giddiness you'd be feeling if you were with astarion? cause like... i'd never digest it, i just couldn't settle down.

imagine having that gorgeous gorgeous man, so very charming and special and attentive and fun and sweet as your partner. sometimes he seems unreal, an eternal and divine being with starlight in his hair and passion in his eyes. underneath the snarky, flirty, uncaring performance is a person so unique, so enduring, so unfalteringly strong in his persistence. amidst the horror and abuse he didn't go crazy, didn't lose that innocent and yearning spark. you'd look at those vivid and expressive eyes, hear that wavering and genuine voice, feel those tentative and soft hands and you'd be undoubtedly sure of the goodness in him; the goodness within his capability.

imagine looking at a person so deeply precious and knowing he's been hurt and used so much. imagine feeling nauseous at the thought. imagine knowing that despite that he's still brave enough to seek and receive affection and companionship - the things he's never known and yet he has enough courage to trust you to show it to him. you're his first and only experience with softness and boundaries and a person who has never had control of himself has given himself to you - given you the chance to teach him.

you get to look at that inhumanely beautiful person, so very clever and appreciative, and you know that he chose you. he holds you so tightly because you're the first thing he's had. you're the refuge, the kind word and hand he never thought he'd have. sometimes you look at him and get struck with the potential and power in him, and not the materialistic, ugly power. the power that lies within a person who has emerged from agony and given the world a chance to treat him differently instead of giving up entirely.

he's all that and despite his bravado, you know he doesn't see it. you know he feels a phantom rot within himself. you know that he could be the most beautiful person in the world, and he will - with time and love and healing. and you get to watch it happen. and he cherishes every second you spend by his side.

This may be the opposite of the usual kinds of confessions on this blog but spawn Astarion's romance gave me some kind of ace awakening. The way he learns to assert his boundaries and takes a break from sex entirely while he's trying to figure himself out (and the way it only makes his fans love him more), has helped me feel much more comfortable declining sex and not worrying whether my boundaries are going to hurt or inconvenience others. I went into his quest expecting a steamy vampire romance but instead got a beautiful story about navigating sexuality after trauma and giving oneself space to figure out what it is you actually want. I just love this gay ass elf so much man

Hiii! Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favorite followers (sorry if you have received this already feel free to skip it if so! ❤️)

Hi! Thank you for sending me this, it's a lovely thought

Oh boy, this is not easy at all to answer, but a good exercise nonetheless. Let's try

My empathy, despite getting upset and feeling wrong sometimes for being "too emotional", I also think it is one of my best qualities

The colour of my eyes

My tattoos

I don't give up easily when it matters

I'm very accepting of others

This feels so weird 😭 it's making me cringe, I feel like I'm bragging 😱😬
