i have a crush on a guy at work and it is honestly a little embarrassing bc i am SO into trying to talk to him and he is v clearly like. not. 😅 like he's not against it, but he's clearly not as eager as me. i walk by his desk sooo many more times than necessary throughout the day. today he offered to walk with me for lunch and it literally Made My Day™ lol

for me… FOR ME..!!! and for shri’iia specifically the lock in for astarion’s romance is his graveyard scene in act 3.
i think it is too quick for shri’iia to be moving on to another relationship considering her previous one was with her mistress who essentially groomed and isolated her for like … more than hundred years. learning to chase her own desires and not moulding herself to what anyone wants her to be is something so new to her…!!! and something that she’s still learning how to be comfortable with….
and what I like abt romancing astarion with her is that I usually go for the dialogue path in his act 2 confession scene where you can ask him:
- what do YOU want to do?
and he goes like honestly idk what we’re doing but /this/ is nice. it just feels like two people exploring the option to love for the first time and taking things in their own pace rather than jumping straight into the relationship. they’re going at a snails pace… they don’t know what they’re doing but they like this feeling and the vibe and they want to more of it but they’re not ready to commit to anything yet and it’s fine for them …!! and they’re only committing by the end in the graveyard scene where significant time has passed and they’ve learnt a little more about themselves and they’re both more confident about their own desires and also how they want to be loved.
like it is so fitting I think… and sweet… not to mention astarion being a high elf & a vampire and shri’iia being a drow, they have all the time of the world for themselves so I def think they would want to take their time. except if shri’iia turns into a mindflayer or drider by the end then that plan is out the window lol

... Oh no, he shouldn't have said that.
Fuck, why did Leonard allow those words to slip from the tip of his tongue---
He shouldn't have had that second glass of Bourbon, for fucks sake. Should have just kept his mouth shut and...
Well. The damage is done, Jim looks at him as if he's turned into a Klingon or some shit and Leonard can feel the embarrassment crawling up the span of his spine in the most slowest, most torturous way ever experienced by mankind.
Someone please just end him and swallow him whole, thanks.
"Very funny, yes. I am amused, as you can see."
He's not.
In fact, if a mere gaze was able to kill, this one would do precisely that, definitely.
"---You act as if that's such a surprising thing for me to do, really. Tryin' to get a date, I mean. I am also just human, you know - not some kind of... weird alien-thing."
He needs another drink. Three, at least. McCoy clears his throat, then hides behind his almost-empty glass, hazel eyes focusing on something else in the far corner of the room.
