the thing abt anaistarion is that i DO absolutely Ship It and am excited to explore it in every form. but i’m p sure i’ve done a good job not forcing that on any of my mutes who write astarion. at least i have tried bc i get what it’s like to write a character who’s so popular and i don’t want my partners to feel like i only value them or their portrayals for the shipping opportunities. like just bc i’m upfront about my ship biases on the dash/in personal headcanons doesn’t mean i will forceship in practice, y’know? it was the assumption that i must also be doing that which rubbed me the worst abt the anons i received. i don’t like the feeling of being willfully misunderstood (or maliciously misrepresented). otherwise i just found them funny.

#esp since i’ve only talked shipping with two (2) astarion writers at this point #and both of those beloved mutuals took opportunities to approach me abt it first #as a possibility to explore etc #which i’ve been!!! eager to run with dgmw!!!!#but it’s like…i have not approached a single person first about this ship #but ppl saw me interacting with multiples of a character and got jealous ig #and it’s easier to assume the worst of someone you envy #than it is to confront your own insecurities triggering that feeling #anywhomst i love my partners and mutuals so much for being so amazing #ily all and am v glad to have cultivated the circle of decent folks i seem to have!!!#!a suspicious lack of dragons. ( ooc )#blacklist for less soft nonsense.#tbd.
