People not understanding why bloodweave is popular or claiming it's only popular cus it's 2 white men.

Take this from someone who didn't care and even hated bloodweave at the start. A lil list of what made me fall in love with this ship.

Opposites but the same. They're mostly opposite of each other but both of them want power. Both of them are smart in certain fields and insane idiots in others.

Enemies to lovers. Yes I'm a sucker for the trope. I totally see Astarion absolutely disliking Gale at the start. And Gale finding Astarion annoying or whatever you will.

Trauma bonding

Mortal x immortal. Come on the idea of a human and an elven vampire...

Gale is stupidly kind and Astarion doesn't know how to deal with kindness. Especially without feeling the need to pay for it in some way.

They're idiots.

There's a lot more even. But I just wanted to share my main points. I'm also a multishipper so bloodweave is by far not the only ship I have. Be it karlach x astarion, wyllstarion, Gale x halsin, bloodbear, minthstarion ,fuck I even ship my own ocs with a lot of the characters in the game (not just my tav's, but existing ocs of mine). And yeah, they might not make sense. It's fair if you don't like the ship. But to constantly go around and berate people for liking it? To claim it's based on only fetishism or racism? Kinda wild. Shipping is just a part of any fandom and some ships will seem more popular than others due to some more vocal content creators in said fandom.

Also I am biased cus I do equate bloodweave to my own relationship. Despite my own wife not seeing the appeal of the ship.
