#what do you want from me Astarion

[tomurakii]

I want to romance Astarion for my durge run but my resolve weakens every time I speak to Gale while Astarion refuses to like me more than Medium

[iicaru2]

people who find ascended astarion hot and not absolutely devastating frighten me. ive ascended him exactly once (for my origin gale run where the goal is to let them both ascend and be ambitious power hungry vaguely evil boyfriends) and that was enough for me to decide i am Never doing that again

Wyll calling Astarion ugly for eating a tadpole

No but people acting like bloodweave has been popular from the get go and is just about shipping two random men together when in actuality this ship barely fuckin existed until a week ago and a lot of the shippers I've come across like the ship from the perspective of being SA/abuse survivors but like go off I guess

Fuschia/Magenta?

reading baldur's gate fic is so funny to me sometimes because almost every single tav i've read is like. a nerd. awkward. stuck in a library/commune/forest and doesn't know How To Do People. combat unready. a wee paper slip of a person. self-doubting and uncertain.

whereas i am out here with my bard who dumped all her stats in charisma and perception and therefore is no longer able to fail a persuasion check. and my personal backstory for her is that she's an insanely well known frontman for a rock band in baldur's gate so literally everyone they meet knows who she is. nonstop flirt. clocks manipulation left and right because seeing through performances is like half of her skillset. oh yeah. and she can fucking oneshot you by being mean in your direction.

"if you fancy Astarion, you might want to consider therapy. He's so damaged I must have him! Enjoy the fantasy and then call a therapist. It's a two step thing and it's very important you do both." - Amelia Tyler what do your narrator eyes see? 😂😂😂

okay but tenderly, gently, oh so sweetly, breaking cazador. he's crying, trying to pretend he's not crying, torn between trying to pretend that this isn't happening and pretending that it is but he's still in control here. licking the tears off his face as he weeps, despite the bucking of his hips. your hands on his body, your tongue on his flesh, the vampire lord stretched thin between the hooks of arousal and revulsion, and that's how he comes, with your teeth in his flesh and your name on his lips, begging you- to stop? for more? harder? faster? all of the above?

[limielle]

nothing makes me more mad than when david gaider tweets lmfaoooo

[swordmaid]

[write-and-wander]

Astarion would listen to Hozier on a daily basis I just know it to be true in my heart

"that sounds tediously boring"

gnome beat the game

here they are on the boat

The only thing that made me reload on the hug option was that it came without asking Astarion first?

In a conversation about how much his bodily autonomy had been taken from him and he wasn't sure about what were his desires and what he had been conditioned into, and associating any intimacy with Cazador, that felt just a bit off to me

I'd love an option to ask him if he wants a hug?

Asking him if he wants a kiss is an option, so asking him if he wants a hug shouldn't be a problem

[perilegs]

ok i might need to force myself to not romance astarion bc i don't want to know what it says about me to turn down karlach, the woman of my dreams, the character made to cater me personally, like, if she was real i'd bring the moon and stars down for the chance to see her smile, she's everything i've hoped for in a rpg companion, what does it say about me if i turn that down for someone like astarion

Fable you have got to be clairvoyant in some manner because your timing is scary accurate. I just put down my writing for today not even a half hour ago. This is the first time narrative has felt easy in months. UNFORTUNATELY THE LAST LINE IS SHORT AND NOT NARRATIVELY INTERESTING *SHAKES FISTS AT GOD*

From a unfinished maybe chapter of what could become my Baldur's Gate 3 Fic:

And reality comes crashing down.

(fuck it I'm going to post the incomplete chapter and link it here)
