#he is cannonically immoral and a huge bitch (affectionate)

Regarding fellow Astarion stans

Hey I'm a basic bitch who loves him as well and for my own personal reasons, just like everyone and their mother for the most part lol

But why are individual fans I meet just so desperate to prove that THEY like him the most??? This gatekeeping and competitiveness is sooo bizarre & I cannot wrap my head around it. It's certainly not the first time I've seen it but idk if I've ever experienced it so intensely first hand.

Half the time I have a conversation about him with another fan, it feels less like "Oh hey we like the same character, cool!" and more like a competition with things like "Oh, you did THAT with him?", or "I could NEVER do that to Astarion".

I got that response after bringing up how I punched him when he drained me, like I'm sorry but GUYS, that's a pretty reasonable response to being KILLED after you verbally said you trusted that person NOT to kill you LOL (it's not like I was genuinely mad, the screenshot I have of the morning after is the funniest screenshot I have in this game)
