#ramblingpaladin#god i hate how im so easy to fall for arrogant evil men#its from the “i strahd memoirs of a vampire” fyi. im going insane over him today#funnily enough im not into#e.g ascended astarion or cazador (or gortash. but gortash is different here:)#i think it has to do with how Raphael and Strahd are just genuinely good at whatever the hell theyre doing#vain. arrogant. flawed? oh absolutely they're total jerks#but their so beloved patheticness for me comes from the fact that their weakness lies hidden behind their strengths#which can be both literal strength or can be an intellectual thing. tbf both have both. manipulative bastards that also can whoop your ass#and oh lord im about to get the worst ass whooping of my LIFE#while ascended astarion is honestly just sopping wet pathetic to me straight away. hes not really fun. but i get the fantasy ig#its been said multiple times i believe but as.astarion really just has the Vibes. not the actual thing#sure hes now some cool never seen before vamp. but hes broke off his ass and turns into a stupid lil bat#cazador definitely has his strength oh that's for sure but ultimately his weaknesses are wayyy too obvious#raphael also has them obvious but he has the charisma to make you forget hes got them#cazador is just sopping wet too#so really i believe its a matter of having the character be genuinely strong + ratio between weakness and strength#preferably the weakness to be more hidden. part of the appeal#im not putting gortash in together with as.astarion and cazador because hes also a good one imo#but for some reason im just. not into him. even tho hes literally my type#is it the anime ass hair?#its the anime ass hair.#this got long...
