“When I had nothing, and lived in a small apartment that cost very little because the ceiling leaked, the dream was to be able to live off making music. When I had kids that became even more important. Now it’s about something else. I���m responsible for showing my wife and my kids that all these years of waiting for me have been worth it. And that goes beyond money, because at the end of the day that’s just seasoning. One day my kids will be grown-up and I have to be able to show them that all this time playing rock shows had a real purpose.”

— Kerrang, 2019: The Next Chapter. Tobias Forge And The Future Of Ghost

"Lastly I would like to dedicate my work with Ghost to those who have sacrificed and keep sacrificing the most in order for me to able to do this: Boel, Morris and Minou. I love you and I can't formulate words to describe how utterly appreciative and thankful I am for your support. Tack."

Saw Giggleshit in the outside world digging through trash. It looked like it was limping though 🤔

(Giggleshit lore?)

Birth of a defective Dark Matter.

I am going feral over this ink.

Someday I'll actually post these gijinkas' full designs, but today is not that day.

Also don't mind Zero's absolutely massive sleeves, I was simply feeling Dramatic tonight. They're usually a bit smaller. Still swooshy though.

So drawing things symmetrically without the mirror tool is difficult.

Have a good day! ^^

"Not the AWT48..." Sad little whines.

He'll live, don't worry.

Then again, if they can make it through Nihongou and Jiroutachi's awful drunk singing every couple of weeks, Yasusada can power through another AWT48 wave. Maybe.

He composed himself after a short while. "Horikawa might be into that sort of thing though, he'll probably try to get all five of us to make a band or something. That'd be real funny to see."

(psst you already have one Yasusada ;3)

"Anyway, I think we're all good for now in terms of necessities and stuff. If ever we need anything else, I'll get everyone to let you know. But Aruji, I mean what I said before: you gotta let us take care of you too sometimes."

"We're not just here to fight against retrograde armies trying to mess with the timelines, we're also here to protect the man who brought us all here for that purpose. I think I can say for everyone that no matter who our former masters were, it's you that we're sworn to protect now. You keep us all provided for and protected; letting us do the same for you is the most we can ask of you, Aruji."

"Oh, please do," Yuichi agrees. "Thank you again for all your help, Nankaitarou."

He can't help but laugh at Yasusada's reaction. He reaches out to pat him, too, on the shoulder.

"Aw, it's not that bad! I like it~! Besides. There are several CDs here, so they have a lot to choose from-- and there's a decent variety. You might like some of it yourself. Who knows, hm? Maybe soon you'll be wanting to join them? Or maybe you and Kashuu can form a duo?"

He's joking, but he does stand by his decision.

"Either way, I think we can all agree that it's better than this..." He lowers his voice. "'Baby Shark' song that we'll be cursed with if it breaks out too far, no?"

Tips for “Good-Aligned” Astarion Romance/Approval

I see a lot of people saying they find it difficult to romance Astarion on more good-aligned play throughs (though bg3 doesn’t have an alignment system but you all get my drift).

I was able to do so fairly easily, on my first play through as a goody two shoes (or as much so as a Dark Urge can get) and I noticed some things that may have made it easier to do without sacrificing any in character goody-two-shoes decisions.

And this is the biggest one. Be nice to him, and be incredibly patient with him. Even though he occasionally expresses disgust with you acting “sweet”, overall being a saccharine ball of love to him wins you way more points than you’ll lose by being kind. He values positive personal interaction way more than he values agreeing with your decisions,

He does actually approve of some good decisions: petting owl bears and feeding an urchin in Baldur’s Gate being some examples. And more than that, he REALLY approves of tricking your way into peaceful resolutions, to the point where I have gotten many inspiration dice from him simply for avoiding conflicts. Also, any time you have a chance to support someone’s free will, do it. He varies from not having an opinion to approving in most of these cases. So really lean into those good actions he tends to approve of, though I admit they usually are later in the game.

Sometimes he’ll disapprove of the steps you take to make it to a good choice, but approve of the outcome. This applies to things like the hag quest, where you can lose approval but win it back at the conclusion, or through the non-violent path with the Orthon where he disapproves if the peaceful conversation but approves way more of the outcome than he ever disapproved of the conversation.

Be willing to disagree with him, and challenge him, even when it does get you disapproval, because, frankly, the push and very interesting unique dialogue he has with goody-two-shoes PC’s he’s in love with can be fascinating and informative, even if it means running into some bumps here and there.

Remember that this is just some tips for people who find the prospect of keeping Astarion approval high on a good play through daunting or challenging. I know I see a lot of memes and such that make it appear that only evil and/or grey characters can really get into this romance when I’ve seen firsthand that it is just as cool and possible with even the goodest of beans, so I wanted to share. But it is not, IN ANY WAY, meant to be a guide on how one should romance him. There are multiple paths to romance that can be played differently to create very custom PC/Companion ship dynamics in this game, and I encourage you to explore whichever narratives will be the most fun or fulfilling to you personally.
