#‘vampirism’ is not code for

[pinkhysteria]

‘damon is a vampire, this is a vampire show, how can you criticize him for anything!? 🙄’ and it’s about people uncomfortable with him having multiple instances of going out of his way to excessively punish women for not returning his feelings like a lame regular human 4chanreddit incel 💀

#anti damon salvatore #what does vampirism have to do with one woman not loving damon so he gets drunk and tries to force himself on her look alike 5 minutes later #LMFAOOOO #i just can’t stand the disingenuousness of it all. #like. i actually DO find it annoying when people include killer in with damon’s list of crimes because... hello. #especially since i don’t find the things that supposedly make his murdering ‘worse’ to be... valid whatsoever. #(because after a certain kill count and level of violence 'feeling bad' is meaningless i'm sorry lmfao.) #but y’all want to defend EVERYTHING under ‘vampire!!’ and it’s nuts. #he could eat literal shit and y’all would say ‘stop calling it gross he’s a VAMPIRE!!’ #idk how to tell you u can like/love a chr and still not justify/support every little thing they do. #or at least mind ur business when other ppl just don’t like something they have every right not to. #i love him but i don’t think klaus was ‘right’ to choke out hayley for considering an abortion #(especially not when an episode prior he was yapping about ‘kill the baby’ anyway) #‘vampirism’ is not code for #‘my white male fave has a pass to be violently misogynistic in a way that mirrors real life and if anyone feels a way about it ur a PUSSY!!’ #and this isn’t even touching on the ridiculousness of constantly ‘VAMPIRE GENRE’ing a show that very much *is* a teen drama #and regularly hails the chrs as ‘heroes’ and good ppl - #so pretending it exists in the same way as something like dracula or carmilla / other adult gothic tales #and people have to engage with it the same way is fucking ridiculous 😭 #tvdu text

Oh you like vampires? Is that because you are enticed by the idea someone could love you enough to share the burden of everlasting monstrosity? Haha HAHA no what? no

I've been thinking about Astarion's lack of reflection combined with the, "Lol how can this idiot think he's hiding his vampire status his bite marks are RIGHT THERE" reaction from the fandom. Crazy thought but what if Astarion just... doesn't know? It's not like he can see the marks for himself. Would anyone ever mention that to him? Does every vampire scar so deeply? (I personally didn't catch any on his siblings.) Can he feel them? I have scars that look very raised but don't feel significantly different from the surrounding skin. Or at least, I may not have realized what I was feeling was a scar without having seen it first.

Really, I think it's difficult for those of us with sight to conceptualize just how much we take our appearance for granted—how often we see it throughout the day and how much subconscious info we glean from it. Does Astarion know how high a collar needs to be to hide potential scars? How wide he can open his mouth before his fangs show? That the white of his hair looks significantly different from someone who has aged? Sure, he'll pick up on some things from being around his siblings (oh look, everyone has glowy eyes. I must have those too) but even among the spawn there's a lot of diversity. It's not like seeing them truly gives Astarion a sense of what he looks like. Now, toss in the fact that he was enslaved within a community that likely wasn't offering up a lot of insight purely out of the goodness of their hearts (here, let me sketch you) and the fact that Astarion's job was seduction (obviously I still look 'normal' enough that people will trust/sleep with me) and I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that he doesn't quite Get™ how vamapire-y he looks.

#BG3 #Baldur's Gate 3 #Astarion #now let's consider how much of his blood-based comments are auto-generated #(more within the realm of the game AS a game—meant for the player) #how many of his other comments can easily be coded as generic baddie threats voiced by someone flirty #(don't want to hurt that pretty neck) #the fact that he's WALKING AROUND IN THE SUN which is like *the* thing vampires can't do #yeah yeah it's honestly hilarious how obvious he is and I love the jokes #but also it's interesting to consider how *not* obvious this might actually be to Astarion
