I need someone to do a video essay-length deep dive into how 75% of the BG3 fandom fell so hard for Astarion's manipulative seductor act that they believe that's his actual personality. This man has to practice his lines and still fumbles them constantly. He flat-out says it's all a front because he believes his sex appeal is the only reason anyone would keep him around, which is tragic. When he drops the act, he becomes this kind of silly man rediscovering what it means to be himself, and what it means to both love and be loved. He says "I'm all pointy ears, love." while turning his head to show off those pointy ears. Let him be silly, let him be awkward! It's so much more authentic then him being a walking innuendo.

He has a mid charisma stat with a bonus for deception and rolled a nat 20 on all y'all.

i think good conversationalists are genuinely impressive and a fulfill a vital role in party compositions. i tend to use a more defense oriented listener build myself in less familiar situations though it is not as helpful to the group in scenarios where high dps is needed

Everyone is out here saying that suguru was the only character that saw gojo as human. You're wrong. I mean I get why people say that since stsg is basically the definitive ship for most people in the fandom.

But yuta and yuuji have never once seen gojo as anything but gojo. Yes they have consistently acknowledged his inhumane strength but to them gojo has always been just gojo-sensei to them, his strength as the strongest is an afterthought.

When yuta first returned, he vowed to kill kenjaku by himself to spare gojo the pain of having to kill suguru a second time because he knew how much it hurt him. In the recent leaks, yuta is also the ONLY person to speak on the dehumanization of gojo and how the burden placed on him is unfair.

When gojo died, the two characters with the most horror-filled expressions were yuta and yuji. Yuta specifically because he was aware he would have to take over Satoru's body which he really didn't wanna have to do.

Back to shibuya, when gojo was sealed. Kenjaku taunts yuuji with seal and yuji displays a visceral amount of rage and distraught.

Yes, suguru was the first to see gojo as a human but saying he's the only one is beyond wrong. Idk if people are only looking at things through a shipping lens or everyone is still upset about the leaks but cmon...

NEVER be vulnerable. FLUSH your medication down the toilet. LIE when people ask how you’re doing. SUPPRESS your feelings. ALWAYS be irritable and abrasive. MAKE SURE you push away anyone who’s close to you. CANCEL your therapy appointment.

"the problem with booktok is that it romanticizes toxic relationships blah blah blah" NO!! the problem with booktok is that its a community that talks about, produces, and consumes published novels the same way people talk about, produce, and consume fanfiction. every issue with booktok (lowbrow subject matter, oftentimes poor writing and editing, a disproportionately heavy focus on erotica, books described via tropes (tags) instead of plot synopses, thinly-veiled misogyny) boils down to that. i don't give a single solitary shit if colleen hoover is writing toxic step-sibling incest romance! i've come across weirder shit this week on ao3!! what i do care about is the fact it reads exactly like an unbetaed oc-centric slash fic and this woman is expecting us to pay upwards of $20 for a copy!! girl i can read mid-tier fic for free any time i want i don't need you!!

im genuinely bothered that samantha béart got no accolades for voicing karlach. neil newbon is great, but samantha's performances on.. man, every line i ever hear from them, not least their more devastating plot moments, just blow me out of the water. i was fully moved to tears by one of them, and im just like jfc can we shout out samantha béart more. samantha béart!

sucks that 98% of drow lore in dungeons and dragons et al is just clearly written from the perspective of a guy that really wants to get stepped on because i want to know more about the what have to be thermonuclear levels of menzoberranzan dyke drama

Hard part of being a Cleric if you romance Astarion and do his Spawn ending:

Everything you do hurts him once the tadpole is gone.

He's no longer immune to your spell effects that target undead, and you suddenly have to be very. Very careful when you two travel together to not harm him.

‼️ Fiction cannot cause physical harm to someone.

‼️ The only person who should have the power to decide if a piece of fiction is harming you emotionally or psychologically is you.

‼️ Any fiction you feel like you are being harmed by you can stop reading/watching/creating it at any time.

‼️ You are always in control when you are consuming or creating fiction.

‼️ Do not surrender the power to decide what fictional ideas might cause you emotional or psychological harm to other people.

‼️ No one will ever know better than you what ideas are harmful to you personally.

‼️ You cannot decide what is psychologically or emotionally harmful to another person.

‼️ Attempting to restrict the kind of fiction that people create or consume because you think it might cause them emotional or psychological harm is authoritarian.

‼️ It is safe to explore any ideas and themes in fiction. Fiction does not and cannot cause physical harm to any person. You are always in control of the fiction you are creating or consuming.
