Like the way Astarion lights up at the prospect of killing the Githyanki patrol and his excitement when Ethel runs and he's all "now it's a hunt !!"

Heroic Astarion who still fucking FROTHS at the mouth at a good chase because anything worth eating is a little dangerous. He's still sweet and emotionally available, but he also still needs to hunt to eat and that prey drive gnaws at him regardless of if he hunts innocents or bandits. He might as well try to enjoy himself (and he does. Without guilt. Durge is actually quite into it)

#bat rambles #astarion #im sorry i am not ok about this vampire twink #durge who also still has some prey drive instincts bc theyre still made from the body of bhaal #i promise im trying to be normal #bg3 #astarion is durge's princess and durge throws their body across running water for astarion to step on so he dont get hurt #he's still pathetic but he is also a predator #i also like the idea of that being part of the me vs them dynamic he constantly has to work through #cus can you imagine? e #everyone you meet is a propsective meal and he just got out of his “arrangement” where that was part of the deal #he HAS to see himself as better than the cattle and Cazador kinda #reinforces that kind of thinking #but redeemed durge or a good tav helping guide him away from thinking like that #i think hed still have those moments of #awe is the snack trying to fight back #and be intense abt his bloodlust and hunger #but he'd move away from being like GNOMES DONT COUNT AS PEOPLE BUT POULTRY RIGHT
