Elves live such long lives, and I can't help to think about two high elven residents of Baldur's Gate, ever left wondering what happened to their son? Where did he disappear to? Did he run away? Was he kidnapped? They'll probably never know. Maybe they had heard whispers of an elf with their son's name, who looked almost like their son, now lurking around the Szarr manor. Was it their Astarion? They could never get close enough to tell. Maybe they're still looking for him, hoping one day he'll come home, or be found. He was so young when he disappeared, which makes it all the worse. He had so much ahead of him that he'll never get to experience...

Oh, Astarion.. How the narrative bullies you.

I don’t know if it’s already been said but istg romancing Astarion as Durge is just giving him scary dog privileges. You should’ve seen me siccing my massive sorcerer Dragonborn on anyone who manages to hit Astarion. Like always in dialogues I’m looking over at him and being like ‘bbg what do you think about this?’

[brekkie-e]

How fucked up would it be if Astarion's Gaurdian was Sebastian?

[tombware]

probably not intentionally written like this but felt sick thinking about this in the context of AA living in the palace where he got his ass whipped for 200 years

i do love how no one in game ever spares more than a single thought about the other vampire spawn being able to misty escape if you walk too close with something like the light of lathander equipped. astarion has ONE line about it

and then… nothing. should we not be a little more worried about the teleporting vampire spawn? or even wonder why they can teleport suddenly?

did cazador grant them a new power so that they can hunt during the day, like we see there in the flophouse? why would he try to have the six spawn left speedrun the last few victims needed for the ritual if astarion went missing with the final necessary component?

and is this why they’re all so willing to believe cazador will keep his word and set them free when he subverts undeath? because he’s just given them a small token of freedom, the ability to navigate during the day so long as they stay out of direct sunlight? and how did he do it?? much to think about.

Sometimes I wonder about the limits of vampire spawn healing and then I remember Cazador and get really sad for all of his spawn.

[firstspawn-moved]

i cannot emphasize how important it is to always ask ast*rion for permission when it comes to anything revolving touch. it's always been this big thing with how i portray him and i feel like i hardly ever touch on it enough. depending on where your relationship lies with him and how he truly feels about you, he'll try his best to comfort his own self without needing to cause confusion the moment he jolts at the slightest feel of fingers on his hand, arm, etc.. and while it will happen. he'll always be quick to defend himself and make up these lies until the truth falls.

he's not always been like this, however. but it feels like this when he's so touch starved that his skin boils at the mere thought. scared to be used again, scared enough that he's careful for others to not bump into him. his scar is another story. he tries to cover himself up as much as he can because the scar is still raw, can still feel the prick of cazador's needle.

Murtagh: Kill them with kindness? Wrong. Stabbing. Preferably, at least once for every time he hurt Thorn.

im really sad about how wyll’s whole story is going in act 3 bc it feels like, compared to the other characters, he hasnt gotten any huge scenes where he’s actually making decisions for himself. like for the scene where mizora forces him to choose between breaking his contract or saving his father, you choose for him and he agrees to whatever you tell him to do instantly like. why. there also just hasnt really been any scenes outside of camp that wyll really gets to shine in even tho theres been plenty of opportunities for them

“you’re mine, forever” from astarion’s nightmare, early access vs launch

obviously the latter is a lot creepier than the former, but i feel like if the same lighting effects and expressions were used, early access cazador would have been more intimidating than the one we got with launch
