"We'll Never Have Sex" by Leith Ross is a PEAK Astarion x Tav romance song and I'm going to break it down LINE BY LINE

Depollute me, pretty baby - Suck the rot right out of my bloodstream

I see the "rot" as being less the vampirism and more the trauma that being Cazador's spawn wrought. Depollute me, take what Cazador did to me away because I know if you could, you would.

Oh, dilute me, gentle angel - water down what I call being grateful

I think could reflect on Astarions bit of guilt surrounding manipulating Tav in the beginning.

Oh, you kissed me - Just to kiss me - Not to take me home

Astarion was used for so many years, by Cazador and to bring Cazador new victims. Being kissed simply for the act of being himself, with no ulterior motives, is nearly a foreign concept to Astarion.

It was simple - It was sweetness - It was good to know

Refer to line above, the act is so foreign but so, so welcome.

You look perfect - you look different

I feel like Tav is speaking here, knowing Astarion misses the view of his own face, first assuring him that in their eyes he is perfect, but then that he is different and that difference is a good thing.

I don't wonder about your indifference

This feels like act 1 Tav to me. Astarion being almost indifferent and absent from the sexual encounter, but not wanting to confront him on it for fear of upsetting him and driving him away.

If I said you - could never touch me - you'd come over - and say I looked lovely

Oh NOW we're in the thick of it boys. This line, this is what Astarion longs for. He wants a partner who will not demand nor require sex from him. He enjoys sex, and loves Tav, but he longs for and knows the relationship he has with Tav is more than just what his body is and how it can be of use to Tav. He desired that relationship where if he were to set a boundary as far as "do not touch me" his lover would find new and different and beautiful ways to express their love for him, and he has that in Tav. A lover who, if requested, would no longer touch Astarion, for their love for him is deeper than physical contact.

Oh, you kissed me - Just to kiss me - Not to make me cry

Astarion knowing Tav is not using affections to manipulate him, likely in the way it had been done to him in the past, and the way he had done to others in the past.

It was simple - You are sweetness - Let's just sit a while

Astarion knowing a night with Tav doesn't have to end in sex. It can be just sitting and talking, or simply just sitting together, arms around one another, watching the stars or the people on the street. Simply existing next to each other is enough, and is fulfilling.

Depollute me, gentle angel- And I'll feel the sickness less and less

The sickness of doubt. The sickness of depression. The sickness of 200 years of trauma. All diminishing and healing with Tav by his side, and in his arms.

Come and kiss me - Pretty Baby - Like we'll never have sex

Again, it is the desire to be kissed and held and loved just for that. No ulterior motives, no manipulation. Kiss me like we'll never have sex, because I can trust you and know that if I were to make that request of you, to never have sex again, you would honor it.

I shouldn't be surprised that I fell in love with Martian Manhunter so fast because for the whole of 2019 through to 2021 I was hyperfixated on Invader Zim and Star Wars meaning I was OBSESSED with Aliens. You do not understand the kind of deranged passion I feel about silly little green aliens, it's been activated and I fear I may not recover

So are we not gonna talk about Andrew stopping smoking bc he was not fast enough to reach Neil and protect him after Jean literally told him so??????

He stopped smoking for Neil.

"“You are an idiot,” Jean accused him. “You were barely fast enough to save him last time. The next time someone takes a swing at him, you and your brisket lungs will have to watch him die."

AND ALSO, ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE "I wouldn’t have given him to you if I’d known you would just throw him away so carelessly.”

Your designs have me bounce around my house giggling, I can't stop looking at your art it's so gorgeous 😭

Could you draw Tango but with glasses? After the recent post that went around I can't stop thinking about it and I think glasses would look so good on your design? (no pressure tho) (just love your art so much)

Anyway, have a nice day ❤️
