my students and I made and gates out of NPN transistors today. I read someone made a whole computer from components like this (not logic ICs) MADNESS

Ok but imagine. greygold porting back and finds the emps panicking and trying to figure out to locate them and then turns around and sees they are completely fine. Except for a now beautiful full stash on their squid face.

Aight, I imagined, I loved, and I'm ✨inspired✨ Although perhaps not the cute stash bit as Greygold got a lil too GloomGold saying goodbye to Lae'zel, but have a silly nonetheless-

Bonus when Greygold's feeling better again:

Something something Gortash pointing his crossbow (gun) at a redeemed Durge and saying “I already mourned you”

[fuccboitroy]

“Cursed to put my hands on everything” DAMN RIGHT!!! What if I need it later?

These books are 90% of Gale’s inventory, Astarion has more jewels and gold than a dragon, Karlach and Lae’zel have every weapon from everyone they’ve ever killed, Shadowheart has more gear than memories lost, Wyll is drowning in scrolls, and I have so many booze that I wake up drunk after every long rest.

I find it interesting to consider what Gortash would have done if he had found Durge right after Orin swirled their frontal lobe like a bad latte. Like, would he decide that Durge getting bested was simply survival of the fittest, and with slight disappointment, finish the job to be rid of a weak link? Would he just have left them to their fate, because if they are worth anything, they will fix themselves (despite seeming dead), while he needs to focus on the greater plan? Would he have decided to take them home and try to nurse them back to health, and if that didn't work, at least give them a proper burial, because in the end this used to be a person he greatly respected? How far did the admiration he had for them extend, if it was ever genuine?

Crack Theory #2

Now that the drama is out of the way, got another crack theory on how it went down in Emp's head over Dat Dumb Choice™.

I call this the 'sees no downside' strategy. The 'safe than sorry', 'didn't see that coming', 'agree to disagree', 'wishes Greygold the best but count me out', 'ain't about those odds' strategy.

If the worse case scenario did happen with Orpheus, or even if Orpheus solely targeted the Emperor, it's hard to think of a counter-measure to not only restrain an enthralled Emperor but a cranky Orpheus without the prince retaliating by releasing a hold on our mind-protection as well.....

Ha, I just realized you can't even eat the dude's brains thereafter with Emps busy being enthralled too. What a worst-case disaster.

Been thinking about how virgins are constantly on Astarion’s mind and how it’s a neat reversal of the trope of vampires desiring ‘virgin blood’ for predatory reasons.

Like I really think it has to do with the impression Sebastian made on him — the loss of Sebastian’s virginity is the the true signifier of the loss of Astarion’s autonomy and who he was before becoming a vampire. He is Sebastian’s first (and final) lover but Sebastian is Astarion’s first of many victims and that weighs heavily on him. There is also a fascinating parallel here — in a twisted way, Sebastian’s innocence is preserved because of this while Astarion’s is truly tarnished after this encounter.

This is what weighs on Astarion so heavily — of course the sexual enslavement is an incredible violence in its own right but so is the guilt — a guilt that was easier to deal with when he thought Sebastian and the others were dead. But morphs into something so unbearable that he would rather avoid it all together because with Sebastian still alive, the violence to them both is ongoing.

If you choose to spare the spawn — that violence continues, there’s no way to truly free Sebastian and the others but it’s the best that can be done and I think that guilt weighs heavily on an Astarion who is still a spawn at the end of the game.

This is why, prior to ascension Astarion thinks this is better for the spawn anyway — and he says this right there after seeing them in the cages as well. He thinks his ascension can end the cycle of violence and only realizes he’s only perpetuated it with him at the top when it’s too late.

The layers of violence and circulation of power are honestly way more well written in this game then I think people give them credit for when they one-dimensionalize any of the paths for Astarion.
