Astarion needs so much therapy.
#astarion#and yet it is so therapeutic to see him kill his abuser#i mean I wouldn't do that#but i wouldn't lie and say I didnt spend a good decade or so fantasizing about burning a church down#with the priest the staff and half the congregation inside#but I was a child newly free from years of torment and angry at the world with the misguided belief it would help others#and so is he#despite the fact he is over 200#ive had time to heal and let go of my anger and he needs time to do the same#i could not imagine 200 years of that sort of hell or the amount of time and work it would take him to even begin to mentally recover#bro would need his entire immortal life to deal with this#what I am trying to say is that a lot of people relate to him#but also that some of his behaviors and beliefs can be a part of his trauma#gaining power over others before they can do the same over you/make you a victim again is common as well#lashing out towards totally unrelated people who share some sort of link with an abuser? YEP#some gurs beat Astarion to the point his choices were death or becoming a spawn and living 200 years in literal hell#it is so easy to see all gurs as just like the ones who hurt him and/or take it out on all of them#i could write an entire presentation on astarions trauma and people relating to or seeing themselves in it#spoilers#abuse tw
