Tess is very very determined and nothing is going to stop her from doing what she wants.

I find it kind of funny that Shane is labelled the "i can fix him" romance of sdv but...he really isn't. You, the player, actually do very little in terms of "fixing" him. You watch him have a few breakdowns, and you intervene when he's drunk on the cliffs, but...he's the one who decides to start going to therapy. He's the one who decides to quit drinking. These are not things that you ever encourage him to do. You can headcanon certain interactions all you want, but this isn't like "the player chooses the genre of Elliott's future book." You have no impact on whether or not Shane cleans up his life. You support him at a few key moments, but the desire to change and be better comes from Shane, not the player.

You don't fix him. He fixes himself.

Astarion likes missionary sex. Likes being able to see his love’s face and the way their body reacts to his.

He loves being able to lace his fingers with theirs, and press their hands to the mattress. It grounds him just as much as the steady eye contact does. Doesn’t matter if he has to coax them into it, murmuring “eyes on me, darling” as he rolls his hips into theirs.

He loves the way he can hold them close to his chest as he comes with their thighs wrapped around him, completely engulfed in one another.

isekai about a nyc apartment block getting teleported into a fantasy realm, and how this group of people who previously have only had incidental contact with one another come together to build a vibrant community in their new circumstances. there's a season-long arc about introducing bagels and pizza to the fantasy world that gets into the details of sourcing ingredients, developing new technologies, and learning how to work with supernatural substitutions.

being a fan of a friend's ocs is actually so humiliating....... like yes my favourite character rn is tragically doomed and a pillar of humanity who i think is relevant to the current world. you can find information about them on discord dot com and sometimes in late-night conversations with this guy i know. what the fuck

bg3 ramblings

as a person who has had a difficult home life, playing thru Astarion's quest in Cazador's Mansion is... poignant.

the game really captures that feeling of creeping around your home town after being gone for a long time, worried you are going to get caught being there, seeing old faces and putting on an act for them.

and damn, and when you ask Astarion if he's sure he wants to do this and he says

"Oh I've never been less sure of anything. But if I don't face him now, I never will."

"I'll spend the rest of my life running, watching the shadows, never feeling safe."

That... hits.

i too know that feeling of never wanting to face that family figure, tiptoeing around, never feeling safe. no time feels like the right time to face what has happened to you, that you are ever safe enough. but you need to.

i did originally romance Astarion bc he was a hot elf twink that hit on me a lot. but the more i saw his story, of fighting for his independence, his freedom from his family, it really resonated with me on a personal, human, level in a way a game never has before.

what a game.
