i can't believe people genuinely believe ascended astarion is actually good. "oh but he's so sweet and nice" you're being manipulated. "he hasn't said anything mean" yet. that's how it starts. im sure that's exactly what astarion thought of cazador at first, and look what happened.

ascended astarion is just continuing that cycle of abuse; he became just like cazador, just like cazador became his master. absolutely nothing is good or healthy about ascended astarion, you people are just deluding yourselves into thinking it's fine to romanticize abuse just because the abuser is attractive. get a grip.
