We had a little photoshoot today ✨

[vibingandsimping]

Got a shot and sweet one for ya! BG3 character(s) of your choice reacting to someone going, "Aw, you two look so cute together! You should date!" and Tav - the object of his/her as of yet unspoken affections - just smiles a little bashfully and says, "Yeah, that would be nice."

I totally misread this so just have it reversed! Aka, Astarion being so in love but so in denial.

Astarion never thought he’d fall in love. It was always just “not in his cards.” Who would love a monster of the night? After all the sins he committed? Nonetheless, someone loving him back. The thought made him laugh. Yet, here he was head over heels for you. He should be sick- he should despise you for winning him over. That’s the thing about love, though. He just couldn’t find it in himself to hate you. In fact, he adored you. His own affection was a little lost to himself. (The camp members would argue otherwise despite your ignorance. He looked at you with those ruby puppy eyes.)

The shopkeep your party stopped at seemed to gaze at you two with a sense of familiarity. Obviously, your name became the talk of Baldur’s Gate, this was just different. A knowing look and one Astarion hated. As you rifled through your bag to acquire the sum of gold, the shopkeep made a offhanded comment. “How long have you two been together?” You froze while Astarion tensed. You gingerly placed the gold on the oak table. “What?” You chuckled, assuming they’d been mistaken. “You and the pale elf. Are you not together?” If Astarion could blush he swore he would be red. You shook your head and laughed.“No, we aren’t.”

The shopkeep cupped the gold and frowned. Flashing Astarion a glance, another knowing one, that made him tense further. It was like they were looking right through him. “What a shame. You two would make a dashing couple.” Were they speaking directly at him? What kind of game were they playing? He could feel your gaze linger on him, clearly indicating it was his turn to speak. The elf rolled an arm back in an exaggerated manner. He didn’t want to expose his loss for words- but he really didn’t have anything to say. He festered for a moment but the thought of holding you so domestically… It almost made his heart beat again. He crossed his arms defensively and shrunk into himself uncharacteristically. “I mean- hmph. I suppose it’d be nice but I could never.”

Your expression flashed with a look of mild hurt before settling back into yourself. He frowned a tad. He hadn’t intended to upset you but… he was put on the spot! Why did he feel so vulnerable? You collected the weapons, potions, and thanked the shopkeep before turning and leaving. He trailed in the back of the group. Mostly to simmer in what happened and try to solve why he was so stuck on you. The more he sat on it the more he realized how much he loved the idea of… loving you and being loved by you.

i feel so bad for vampires like i would be evil too if i couldn’t eat garlic bread that’s so fucking sad. what a miserable existence omg.

Speaking of Astarion, post good ending, do you think he would rather find a way to make his love immortal like him or change himself back from being a vampire? If the choice is even possible.

I don’t think he’d try to turn his love into a vampire like himself, if that’s what you mean. That would require them to be under the control of some other vampire lord and Astarion would only wish that on his worst enemy. As for other forms of immortality, most of them come with some deep cost which may turn it more into a curse than a gift.

But if there was a way to cure his vampirism? He’d jump at the chance. To walk in the sun again? To not have to hunt in the night like a wild animal? To be truly free to go where he wanted, whenever he wanted? That alone would be worth the price of immortality. Better still, if he can gets his lives back.

From what I understand about the lore, when high elves die, they’re essentially reincarnated and are able to remember moments of their past lives through trance.

Now if he could have all that, and say his love is an elf as well? They’d have entirety.

Of course, if his love isn’t an elf, then there is a timer on their relationship. Even if he found a cure for his vampirism, he’d still out live them, it’s part of the package.

I don’t think this would discourage him though. He and his love started the relationship with him as a vampire. Him outliving them was understood from the start and they fell in love anyway.

Astarion will always love them, even after they’re gone, but it won’t mean he’ll stop living. He owes them to keep living and carry them with him until his last breath. He’s in it for the long haul, however long that ends up being.

Thid audio fit way too many bg3 companions but I at last chose Wyll because he is always such a sunshine.

It was originally meant to be with my ocs but I thought it would be funnier with Wyll and Astarion.

stay down and stay dead

Okay! I’ll say it! I’ll confess! I wanna play Baldur’s Gate III so badly. And YES, it is because I think Astarion is hot!

I do enjoy D&D, and rpgs, but I also really enjoy looking at Astarion’s beautiful face!

Alas, it is a curse that I do not have any of the platforms it’s available on…

Anyways, normalize women wanting to engage in a media just because they think one of the characters is hot~

Another Scene Accidentally Triggered By Astarion™️

That lil annoyed nose scrunch

That infinitesimal pause that leaves me breathless 🤍

speaking of karlach and build-a-bear I recently learned that they sell a 3-foot tall one of these, and tbh I'd buy one for karlach in an instant, call that mf clyde 2.0

LMAOO CLYDE 2.0

I think she might marry you on the spot. On one knee, hand on yours and asking for that hand in marriage. (Not literally but this is so her.) Not diminishing her character to be all goody lovey but Karlach does deserve these things in life. I think the whole BG3 gang should go to build-a-bear and get plushies… (excuse me if I have little idea of what build-a-bear has. I haven’t been there in YEARS.)

I think Karlach would go for the typical teddy bear. Isn’t it canon she has a teddy bear? Gale would go for a cat of some sort. In honor of Tara, his beloved tressym, to keep around when she’s off doing her thing. Halsin would get a duck if they have it or a classic bear. I wanna say Astarion would get a goose if they had one cause of Goostarion… but knowing the little shit. He might get a wolf just to tease Shadowheart when he can. The rest of the gang i’m unsure! (send in thoughts… I wanna hear ‘em.)

I was just telling my partner about some silly dialogue I had with Astarion today, and my partner told me to use a spray bottle on him. And now I keep giggling because I’m just thinking of tav whipping a spray bottle out and spritzing Astarion right in the face with it every time he does something naughty
