Is it too early for the (half) elf on a shelf?

She crashed my iPad about 50 times and I am scared of making any more edits.

Also, does it look like a Yuletide /Xmas Greetings Card? Because I miss making those! This is what my subconscious mind made up with while half-watching every piece of media with Agatha Harkness and Wanda Maximoff just to be able to rewatch AAA with every important piece of relevant information in mind (it was worth it!) for research purposes.

Again, thank you @aristenfromwarsaw for the reference! 💖

i sometimes like characters that fucking suck. when a character is a shit head in just the right way it can be so funny and/or compelling. like this is my beloved character, Asshole The Hater. they suck and i love them. someone dropped them into a ditch on the side of the road and i picked them out of the ditch and put them in my pocket

Does everyone know there is now a mod that exists solely to give Gale hayfever?

as relevant as it is that wyll (who needs to be needed) is the one least likely to get impatient or walk away when astarion's recovery isnt linear, its also worth noting that astarion (who also needs to be needed, not pitied and treated like porcelain) is most uniquely suited to fixing wyll imo. like, he'd try to fix any origin in a romance, but when you look at his skillset and compare it to the problems others have.... astarion is perfectly wyll-fixing shaped

wyll pretends hes 100% trauma-free? astarion is a rogue, hes built to sniff out deception. wyll always puts his needs last? not with astarion around. he wants to steal the moon from the sky for someone, but hes awkward with grand gestures (they ruin the aloof facade). the opportunity to "he said no pickles" for a lover would be ideal for him. wyll feels bad about looking like a devil (not a tiefling, thats not what hes upset about)? astarion doesnt have to pretend he likes it, he means it. wylls "memory of a memory" shit? astarion knows a thing or two about trauma-based dissociation. theyll walk that road to recovery hand in hand

even just, like, how well their endings line up as well. wyll keeps his contract? astarion was a magistrate. wyll becomes the grand duke? astarion is the only other origin who knows his way around the gate's nobility. he'd love to say everything wyll cant. wyll goes to avernus? no sun there! count astarion in. wyll stays an adventurer (post-avernus or no-avernus)? thats astarions spawn ending. all of these endings rely upon astarion staying a spawn, but lets be real, AA isnt helping anyone anyway

let astarion fix wyll, too. they both need it
