average Astarion interaction

[velnna]

I'm having a great time

[saddleseatollie]

I've seen a lot of people point out that while Astarion's whole "thing" in act 1 is that he's this sexy sweet talking savant, he only has 10 charisma and actually isn't all that good at it.

He practices cheesy pickup lines within earshot of the person he's going to say them to, and every single time he flirts with tav it's extremely heavy-handed and almost cringeworthy. It's pretty obvious that he's trying to manipulate tav, even if the reason doesn't become clear until his act 2 confession.

But here's the thing: Astarion never actually needed to be all that good at flirting.

He says himself that the vast majority of his "targets" were drunks and brothel-goers. People who never actually saw him as anything other than an object for their pleasure. They were going to go home with him no matter what he said. A few pretty words and his physical beauty would do the rest.

But Tav is the first person to actually view him as a real person, which is why it becomes so glaringly obvious that he's not nearly as charming as he thinks he is. Astarion tells them at the tiefling party that "every part of their body screams temptation" and their response is that he's "sweet" and "silly". They're not buying it for second, because they don't need to be told pretty lies to like him. They like him because of who he really is as a person. They fall in love with him not because he's good in bed or has pretty eyes or a sexy body. They fall in love with him because he's sweet and secretly very kind. Because there is so much pain and sadness and fear in him, and he truly cannot see how amazing he really is. That his goodness never really went away, it just got hidden for a while.

Nightmare

HC: even though he doesn’t require sleep, if tav is human, Astarion picks up the habit as a means to spend as much time with them as possible… since humans have one of the shortest life spans of all the races in Faerûn.

lamb fit sketch i forgot to post here ! the comfiest artificer

[hot-pota-toes]

If I could add one thing to bg3, I would give tav a tent

Everyone else gets one while we just sleep in a bedroll by the fire. I want my own little space at camp to decorate with random shit

Give it some personality we could choose the colour of it and what type of tent it is. The chest at camp that we fill with random junk from our adventures would be right by our tent

Also, if you play as an origin character, your tent gets removed ??? Why are our tent privileges taken away 😭

game of the year

[cheesy-cryptid]

Heres all my bg3 filipino coded college au so far 😁 been planning to do more soon so stay tuned!

[artsycrapfromsai]

So, uhhh, a mini continuation of this comic???

I imagine that, after some confusion, they ended up talking about embroidery all night (much to Astarion’s confusion)

And later, Amaryllis decided to make an embroidery of Astarion’s face for him, bc of the mirror scene, bc she thought he might appreciate it

[chaaistheanswer]

Astarion meeting young noble Tav for the first time at a ball where he was trying to lure his mother back to Cazador, but abandons his plan cos he’d have felt bad for leaving the timid little boy motherless. Rumour has it that the rest of Noah’s family doesn't treat him well for being an illegitimate half elven son. Astarion leaves Noah's mother alone and returns to Cazador with nothing that night. They never saw each other again after that until the nautiloid.
