Could I request headcanons for Astarion reacting to his gn s/o who always asks him for his consent or double check with him first before doing anything please?

-------------------------------🩸-------------------------------

At first he finds it incredibly annoying. Being constantly bombarded with questions, as if they can’t make a decision on his own, is something Astarion does not have time for (although in reality he has all the time in the world).

When he eventually figures out what they are doing, he’s a little skeptical. Why would they care what he has to think? What made him comfortable? It was an old trick of Cazador’s to play the gentle hand just before the lash came down, so Astarion is afraid that this is just a betrayal to dig the knife in deeper.

Once he realizes that it’s out of genuine concern, care even, Astarion is very touched. It has been so long since anyone cared what he thought, how he felt. He’s just been pointed in a direction and told to go, regardless on how hard or degrading the road might be.

It takes time for him to trust this new perspective, still afraid to express himself, but when he does it’s illuminating. Astarion not only feels safe in expressing himself but finding things he doesn’t like; now that he has a choice.

He appreciates their effort and care, but still tries to be as accommodating as possible for certain things. Not because he has to, but because Astarion wants to now.

The Risen Devil

Based on L'Ange déchu, The Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel!

I'm aware this is by no means an original idea ahah but! well! I sunk a lot of time into this and I'm pleased with how it's come out. I feel like this is a very dark urge image, of course; the loss and pain that's felt... the very nature of durge... Prints will be available soon!

No AI generation was used during production of this piece. Some detail shots below!

Can I request headcanons for Astarion, Gale, Wyll, and Halsin celebrating his gn s/o's birthday please?

Astarion

In truth, Astarion has never celebrated a birthday before; or at least one he can remember in the past 200 years.

He of course knows about birthdays and what people usually do. Celebrations at the local taverns on such occasions were easy to pick off just…not the guest of honor. Astarion felt that would be tacky.

His gift would be something small. Memorable. A ring or necklace his love would always wear to think of him. And seeing them wear it make Astarion feel like he in turn finally has something of his own. Ending with a night of passion which, for once, he truly deeply means. Sweet words and all.

Gale

Gale would be planning for your birthday for months. Either in secret, or an attempt at keeping a secret because he’s just so excited.

He creates a new version of his Starlight incantation. One that is more reminiscent of their current living arrangements, but with hints of the forest where he first professed his love for them. A blend of the old and the new, to remember their past & look forward to the future, he said.

Besides the illusions, Gale makes them a very real dinner of their favorite meal and a cake to rival even some of the finest bakers in the Gate or the Deep. He also gives them a journal, hoping that it will be a comfort to them to write down their thoughts but also one day help with the novel on their adventures he’s going to write.

Wyll

Despite not celebrating many birthdays in recent years, Wyll actually loves them. He is of the opinion that every year, surviving, growing, and moving on in the world, should be celebrated.

The day would be spent more for quality time. Taking a (hopefully) peaceful walk. Maybe a little hunting for dinner, if they can’t find a tavern on the way. Gazing up at the stars as night falls, with Wyll pointing out his favorite constellations that are only visible this time of year (and therefore must be a gift for them from the gods themselves).

His gift would be a small blade he had fashioned for them. Naming it ‘the Protector of the Blade’s Heart’ since they are Wyll’s heart and this will protect them. They also get the finest rendition of ‘happy birthday’ an aspiring bard turned adventure his lungs can handle.

+Ascended!Astarion

Once he finds out when their birthday is, never really having asked before as it was of no interest to him until now, Astarion makes great effort to have it be the most memorable birthday ever. Everyone should be celebrating when his consort graced the universe with their beauty, and they should have a party that would dwarf all others in their past; now that they are at his side.

He throws a grand ball every year. Themed, perfectly executed, nobles & dark affiliates from all over come to pay tribute to them across Faerun.

It wasn’t until year’s later that they realize that the date had slowly changed from their birthday to their ‘new birthday’. The day they became a vampire.

First where there was one party, then two, now there is only one again for the new date.

Astarion insists, at first, that it’s just a fluke of scheduling. Too many meetings with his dark horde or aristocracy to make it work. Suddenly they are traveling during their birthday and can’t do the party.

Eventually, Astarion admits that your original birthday is pointless. “Why do you need to remember that when you have been reborn with this new life, my treasure?” And thus Astarion had successfully changed your birthday to your deathday, as it were.
