Disappointed to discover that spawn vs ascended Astarion fans have no differences in their penchant to infantilize Astarion and treat him like a poor widdle glass baby incapable of voicing his opinions and standing up for himself despite all the evidence in the game (yes, even if you treay him badly) indicating that Astarion is fully aware of when he's being demeaned and has no issues distancing himself from people he feels unsafe around hhhhhh

#squiggposting #i s2g some ppl are incapable of processing the fact like like #just bc ast is traumatized doesnt mean his trauma is his whole being that everything about him revolves around #like my god the whole point of his storyline (including and especially if you romance him)#is that thru his experiences with the player he realizes he's worth more #yes including if you treat him badly #so ast isnt some wilting wallflower that folds and submits and gives up on expressing himself in the face of adversity #like oh my GOOOOOOD IT'S SO ANNOYING STOP IT #even if you act like an absolute POS and treat ast like an object #afterwards he still has the 'actually fuck you i wont let myself be treated like this' realization and tells you to fuck off #like oh my goooood oh my god just treat him like a normal person he is a grown ass man who can defend himself
