#Astarion shower thoughts

Astarion is a 2000s club girl and no one can change my mind. He would, will and always is crying in the club but it’s fine because those 12 minutes he’s in the bathroom gossiping and all is perfect in the world before he’s back to the dance floor screaming at the top of his lungs to “Stero Love,” or some other song like that.

Just rolling around in my brain how isolated and affection starved all these (romanceable) companions are, pre-tadpole
Karlach spent a decade in Avernus fighting and dodging devils
Shadowheart was ostracized by her cloister for damn near her whole life
Gale was isolated from most mortals and spent a year in near-total isolation in his tower
Wyll had been traveling basically solo as the Blade of Frontiers since he was kicked out of the Gate a teen
Astarion spent two centuries getting tortured and isolated by Cazador
Lae’zel might have had a better social life, but comes from a culture that devalues physical and emotional tenderness/closeness
Halsin spent the last century obsessing over the shadow curse
No wonder all these people are out here going feral for the first person (Tav) that shows them kindness/softness/physical touch/protection

Maybe this is just me, but I can't but feel that the people who say that ascended Astarion will surely turn horrid and abusive towards Tav somewhere down the line, have very little faith in him.
It's not like the ritual swapped him with an asshole doppelganger, he's still the same Astarion who confessed to you in act. 2 and who has made it very clear that he wants safety for the both of you.
Will that power warp that into him being overprotective and possessive? More than likely.
Is it better to take away the sun from him and leave him extremely dependent on you for safety instead? I personally don't think so, but I am also biased in this regard.
In the end, neither route is gonna give you the "perfect happy ending"
Just... Have some faith in the man, he's earned that much 🖤

giving Ascended Astarion all the cutest romance lines in the game really is BG3's forbidden fruit huh

Why doesn’t Tav just shape-shift into Astarion or cast invoke duplicity on him, so that Astarion can see what he looks like? Seems simple enough to me.

astarion is so MCR coded and not just for the obvious (vampire) reasons. but like the entire ascension ritual is so "sacrifice the souls of 1000 evil men to get the thing you want only to realize you're sacrificing your humanity the process"

I just fucking realized something that makes Astarion's backstory just a little bit worse. Y'know how he mentions that Cazador ''made a lot of revisions as he went'' When carving the runes into his back? Now think about this: He's carving them in order for them to eventually become scars. You can't erase a mark.. Unless.. You have vampire regeneration.
Everytime Astarion got a little too comfortable/uncomfortable within the scenario, he'd tell him to heal to START OVER ENTIRELY. That's my take from this. Too much winching? Heal yourself, I am starting over. Too little noise after a while? Heal yourself, I need the noise to focus.
It was a rough night.
Doing something like that over and over to someone until your wicked sense is satisfied... Ugh. As well- You'd have to imagine Astarion needing to turn on/off the regeneration manually, so that they end up as scars. That sounds fucking exhausting. That's torment a 100 times worse.
Vampires look beautiful and perfect because their bodies don't age and their wounds heal. You want to scar one? If you turn their healing off. (Which can be done with daylight and holy water as well.)
This also explains when you're ascending Astarion, it works because Cazador can't heal his fresh wound- you just knocked all his energy out, he can't regenerate after the fight. It needed to be marks that don't disappear and the set pieces in place- just to seal the deal.

Baldurs Gate 3 Companions ranked on how likely they would be to eat people instead of starving
Tumblr media
*Only in wildshape
**Would be bumped up one tier if Mizora made him
***Never knowingly, but if you fed him something and then told him it was people afterward he’d get upset but like, he’d get over it

do weird glitches in the game make you think about all kinds of what ifs? cause like MAAAANNNNN
like what if i did everything in the romance right but they still popped my dusty ass to the curb anyway?
like can someone help me out here?
i dropped half my game because i was romancing astarion but a cuts cene went all wonky on me and when i got to finally talk to him again he was PISSED!
now i have this idea rattling around my head, what if he never actually fell in love? what if he lets you do all that work for him and just fucks off?
the ANGST!

AU where faerun is more like present day US and Astarion and the other spawn hunt for victims at Waffles Houses, Denny's, and Taco Bells at 2am if they didn't find anyone before the bars/clubs closed down for the evening.

Rarer BG3 pairings* based on common narrative threads
* not (just) romantic pairings!
Astarion/Lae’zel: “you were made to be consumed”
Shadowheart/Wyll: duty vs. self
Wyll/Lae’zel: a warrior’s hands, a poet’s heart
Gale/Karlach: when loving someone brings you to the brink of destruction
Karlach/Lae’zel: set apart from my kin/a stranger even among family
