I was trying to describe the Astarion brain rot to a friend and I said "All I've ever really wanted is a man to unironically and unmockingly call me darling, just like all the naughty books I read in grade school promised me."

Oddly specific right? I thought so.

That's how I, at 40, thought about for the first time in decades the fact that I used to sneak bodice ripper novels from the teachers' desks at my tiny Southern Christian school in the early 90s. I have a lot to unpack here.

#astarion #Look I was a weird kid #I kept feeling sure there was something really deep and important in these books #Because otherwise why do they hide them???#Somehow kid me just assumed it had to be way spicier than just softcore sex #I mean didn't everyone who had a child do that? Who cares?!#I was looking for forgotten sigils to summon the demons of hell to my service and all I got was Fabio shirtless on the cover and 200 pages #About the bodice and the countless ways it could be removed or reapplied
