#with Astarion still somewhat hung on the thing he was denied (june)

[maegalkarven]

Thought about June's bad ending too much and now I'm sad.

He is essentially what Gortash wanted to be; the ruler if not of everything, then Baldur's Gate at least.

He is the perfect Chosen of Bane and a widely known hero at the same time. The man who stopped Kethetic Thorm, defeated his own evil nature and dismantled the cult of Bhaal, the man who defeated the Absolute.

The famous savior, their new archduke.

And the loneliest person in the world with only the God of Tyranny to keep him company.

#dark urge: june #also astarion ascends in this ending and it makes their own relationship into a pain dominion #june breaks up with him and they end up being toxic exes #with Astarion still somewhat hung on the thing he was denied (june) #and june hung on Enver's death. no one wins. Astarion is forced to compete for achduke's attention with a memory of a man long dead #june has lost himself successfully selling his soul to another evil god bc he couldn't deal with not having directions #and felt so utterly alone after astarion's ascension and gortash's death #wyll is a new Duke Ravengard who refuses to give up on June and tries to get to him only to be shut down everytime #karlach jaheira and minsc are dead :( #the dark timeline the wicked one #i like to imagine them (in a normal timeline) being able to gaze into the future where June doesn't tadpole Gortash and being horrified #june and Astarion (spawn Astarion who just denied ascension) seeing the mere shadows of themselves standing in front of each other #physically a step away but eons apart #being horrified of what they've turned into #astarion seeing cazador in himself. june seeing himself following Enver's footsteps #being once again enslaved to a god #oof #i hate that timeline #i said as i personally created it #bg3 spoilers
