Oh so balder IS coming in. Very sad. Anyways. In the comics didn't thor prefer loki over balder

Anon, in the comics Thor prefers Loki over pretty much the whole casting. If they do bring Balder then he'd be a suprise! secret sibling number 2 exactly like Hela and... it doesn't sit well with me. Let's see how they'll explain it this time.

Well here’s the silly little comic strip….tbc-question-mark

It's canon that Nox is genuinely a sweetheart outside of battle, tries to help anyone and everyone and never gets violent or aggressive. But as SOON as they enter battle and get hurt… they forget about everything and become a living lightning storm that just rains hell on enemies until they all die, and he regains his senses, immediately turning to his companions and frantically checking if everyone’s ok. Astarion was probably a little shocked, but also probably respected it just a little bit.

Also ignore the sketchy lines on Astarion in the first panel, they were on the same layer and I didn’t wanna erase my linework, therefore they shall exist together.

okay *cracks knuckles* I did a post about gale, time for his better half - astarion

Some of you don't have media literacy and it shows.

I dont know where to start so I'm gonna go hard before getting soft (insert sex joke.) Act 1 astarion is an asshole. He's manipulative and toxic and uses his power as a ~230 year old vampiric high elf to manipulate you into (among other things) having sex with him. I understand falling for him at that point, that's not your fault it's just the game gaming and the writers are really good at how they write his manipulation. However, it does strike me as strange that some of y'all get to the scene where he confesses to using and manipulating you and you....don't care? 'He's just damaged! its not his fault!' babygirl, someone can have a good reason for hurting you, but that doesn't take away the pain. I'm not saying that you shouldn't still love him, but it's strange how many of you disregard that scene. I know for me at least I was saddened by it and definitely was a little wary about him afterwards until beating Cazador and unlocking the nice happy healthy Astarion relationship.

Now here's where we get soft to prove that I actually like Astarion. The reason that confession stings for me is because I have many a memory of being SA'd then being told "I'm not even into you, you were just there." Ever since I stopped being a girl and became a woman, something that happened all too early in my life, I have been used and abused. And hey, sorry for making my Tav the exact same way but I like processing my trauma through D&D. I relate a lot to Astarion. Hurt people hurt people and I know that better than anyone. I also know better than anyone that picking yourself up and healing from that hurt sucks ass. Which brings me to two points. Um apologies for getting hard on you again.... insert another sex joke here.

1) Astarion isn't ace. I've seen this briefly and while I appreciate the need for queer rep, and love headcanons, I do think this discounts the struggle a lot of SA survivors go through. Okay, back to my life so we can compare. When I was chin deep in my abusive relationships and just general shitty time of my life, I was fucking and sucking literally so much it hurt. However as soon as I got out of that situation, I basically became celibate for 2 years. I didn't know how to have sex in a way that was healthy, or that wouldn't make me feel awful about myself. It was only this year that I was able to finally have sex in a way that made me happy. I think you'd be blind not to see Astarion in the same way. He's just a hurt man that is trying to rediscover and heal himself. Which is why he doesn't care about Tav and Halsin, and why you can have sex on his grave. He is very sexually open he just needs some time.

2) Ascended Astarion isn't sexy and I don't think some of you are ready for that conversation. Look I don't have time to go through this because I have a meeting in 30 minutes because I'm an adult with bad time management. But I just. Come here. Come real close. Abusive relationships aren't hot and sexy. We all love a little bit of kink but if you don't see Ascended Astarion as clearly the bad choice, I'm very confused. He's so sweet and loving and kind and HEALED if you don't let him ascend, I can't imagine not wanting that. And like I said, kink is fine! And ascending him because you're doing an evil run or whatever is also fine! Just please, I need teenagers to stop romanticising abuse because the media you consume does rub off on you.

TL;DR I love Astarion with all my heart, but by the writers own admission he was created as a Try Not To Overly Sexualise an Abuse Survivor Challenge and y'all are failing left and right!

[grannanna]

Soooo, my Tav (Sigrid, the tiefling druid) is based on my newest DnD character and lemme say, getting her with Gale is both an "I love this man" thing and a "hey you fucked a goddess, I fucked a god, we both got fucked over, we've got a lot in common! You wanna trauma bond together?!" thing.

I see a lot of people taking about their Tavs and now I wanna share sooooo....

[starshipsorceress]

I’ve been slowly playing through BG3 lately in my free time (good soup) and everyone I’ve talked to about it is convinced I’ll romance Astarion or Karlach. I’m not saying that’s not a possibility, however, Gale is giving me major Alistair from Dragon Age vibes so far and I’m not mad about it

[ratchetandstank]

He Who Was lives in my mind rent free like a nameless hookup from the past. could he have been the love of my life? I guess we'll never know

[prettyboisteveharrington]

Unpopular opinion: I Don’t get the Astarion hype to me he comes off as a gay besties or murder bestie if you are a Durge more than a LI
