Pleased to meet you, I hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

So if you meet me, have some courtesy Have some sympathy, and some taste Use all your well-learned politesse Or I'll lay your fucking soul to waste

Calling out to Raphael nation!

... and to everyone else who sees this I guess. I haven't come across a poll like this yet, so I'm just gonna make my own. I somehow believe I'm in the minority with my opinion, but I'd just like to see for myself:

No nuance, no "results only", no "I don't find him hot at all." You pick one, or you move along. Democracy made in Hell ❤️‍🔥

I had so many people ask me for more girl dad content, I decided to just put all the requests in one. I was supposed to post this on my birthday yesterday but I never did, so here y’all go.

Characters: Astarion (both versions), Halsin, Raphael.

Warning: may contain mild sexual content

Spawn Astarion:

- Tav and Astarion have one little girl who's the spitting image of Astarion, with a few physical features that she gets from her mother.

- I'm almost convinced their daughter was conceived at the cemetery after Astarion was finally free from Cazador.

- This was an unplanned pregnancy, and Astarion was absolutely terrified when he found out about it.

- She has a mixed race between her mom and her dad (unless Tav is also an elf)

- She was probably named after a star or planet or something that goes with her father's name, meaning "Little Star"

- But she could also be named after Dawn, Dusk, or Night, considering that she's a Dhampire

- She's a rogue, but according to D&D, you can have multiple classes, which means that she could also have Tav's class, as well.

- She grew up in a small, nice home in Baldur's Gate

- She was taught at a young age how to use a sword and fight back if threatened.

- Astarion is very protective of his daughter and tends to distrust the people she spends time with unless he already knows them really well, or gets to know them really well

- Astarion is the type of parent who enjoys to gossip with their child, and he'd wait for his daughter to return from school so they could talk shit. "So, darling, how was your day? Any drama? Any problems with your friends or classmates--or teacher? Any interesting rumors? Spill the tea."

- As his daughter get's older to the point she's ready for a relationship, Astarion is the type of parent that feels unsure, and comes off as cold and disapproving towards their child's partner, but eventually, he'll warm up to them and they'll gain his approval after some time

Ascended Astarion:

- Tav and Astarion have one little girl who's the spitting image of Astarion, with a few physical features that she gets from her mother.

- Their daughter was conceived on their wedding night.

- This pregnancy was planned, but whether it was actually consensual or not, I have no idea. That part's up to you/Tav

- She has a mixed race between her mom and her dad (unless Tav is also an elf)

- She was probably named after a star or planet or something that goes with her father's name, meaning "Little Star"

- But she could also be named after Dawn, Dusk, or Night, considering that she's a Dhampire (unless Tav became a spawn before she married Astarion, then their daughter would be an actual vampire)

- She's a rogue, but according to D&D, you can have multiple classes, which means that she could also have Tav's class, as well.

- She grew up in Cazador's old palace

- She wasn't neglected, but Astarion's main focus was on politics and raising an heir

- He was disappointed when he found out he'd created a daughter instead of a son

- He was disappointed, but he and Tav were unfortunately unable to make another child as quickly as he wanted, and he eventually gave up trying

- She was raised with strict rules and discipline.

- Despite the disappointment of having a girl, she eventually grows on Astarion, and Astarion is actually very protective of his daughter and tends to threaten the people around her. It doesn't matter who you are, mess with his kid, and he'll hunt you down

- As his daughter get's older to the point she's ready for a relationship, Astarion is the type of parent to disapprove from the very beginning. He's very sour, and her partner may never get his approval. It doesn't matter who it is, he just doesn't like anyone.

Halsin:

- Halsin and Tav had triplets their first pregnancy.

- One looks just like Halsin, one looks like Tav, and the other one is a perfect mixture of both.

- Nobody knows when they were conceived. Tav and Halsin didn't actually do it on one specific day, so it's hard to tell when it actually happened.

- It was both a surprise and a planned pregnancy. They've talked about it before, but didn't actually expect it to happen so soon.

- They definitely weren't expecting to have triplets.

- But they were feeling pretty Brave, so they weren't too worried.

- The girl's are a mixed race (unless both parents are elves.)

- All three of them are druids

- They probably have nature-related names.

- The girls grew up in a family-sized cottage in the Emerald Grove

- Compared to other children, they live a good life

- Tav and Halsin are financially stable, and halsin looks after the Grove and the children while Tav starts her own business of some sort to help gain extra money. (I don't know if Halsin gets paid for running the Grove, but maybe he sells flowers or something?)

- These girls mean the world to Halsin, and he wouldn't even know how to function properly if anything were to happen to them. His wife included.

- I feel like Halsin is a very supportive parent

- When the girls are old enough and ready for a relationship, Halsin would bawl like a baby and do his best to be supportive to both his daughters and their partners.

Raphael:

- Tav and Raphael have one little girl who doesn't look like anyone in particular. She's the perfect mix of both her parents, with her father's hair and her mother's eyes.

- She wasn't conceived on any specific day. I mean, maybe an anniversary of some sort. Or a birthday, even? Nobody knows.

- It was completely unexpected that Tav was pregnant, but Raphael took much pride in making that happen.

- Their daughter is part cambion

- Like her father, the child has a devil form and a disguise (of Tav's race).

- She has two classes, being a bard like her father, and also sharing her mother's class, as well.

- The child probably has a name that gives tiefling/devil/cambion vibes (Maeve, for example)

- She grew up in the House of Hope

- Raphael tries his best to balance spending time with his daughter with his work.

- Raphael is a very calm father

- He has rules, guidelines, and expectation's for his daughter, but is not overly strict.

- But he wouldn't hesitate to put his foot down if necessary.

- For example, he lets his daughter hang out with her friends, but she needs to talk to him or Tav first, and is expected to be home around a certain time. If she doesn't meet that expectation, he might yell, he might be angry, he might scold her, and if it repeats, he won't think twice about grounding her.

- pretty much the average parent

- I believe that Raphael would be the type of parent to have a Courting Candle when his daughter is to the point where she's ready for a relationship. Whether he's cold to her partner or not depends on the type of person.her partner is. It may take a moment to gain his approval, or he may never approve.
