also if/when astarion learns abt who amity previously/most recently had feelings for, i think that he'd be... less than pleased lmao

if it's before he's got feelings for her, he just thinks she's a silly little fool for being so lovelorn and moony over some -- to him -- average, forgettable halfling. and for what? earnestness? ha.

if it's after he's got feelings for her, well. now he's going to agonize a bit over what the fuck the common thread is. like yes, he's worried that perhaps his looks are the biggest/possibly only draw to him. and yes, the previous object of her affection... to him seems to suggest that that's not what she goes for. but what the fuck does she go for then. what is the common denominator.

joke's on you astarion, she's used to traveling with ridiculously hot people. she recognizes it, and recognizes that he's very pretty, but her restraint is fucking god-like at this point. got to bring more to the table to really catch her eye.

#rose the big buff farmer tiefling? yeah okay. that he gets. similar appeal to karlach.#but halflings??? really?????#stop being weird abt the short races astarion and open your eyes: They Can Be Hot Too #i think in the fic it'll get to a point where she confirms that yeah no she finds him very pretty; that's not what the issue is #and maybe even admit that yeah. on some level... yeah she wants what he's offering #so he's baffled as to why she just. keeps saying no.#it's that self-esteem/body dysmorphia/current aversion to touch after a harrowing incident babyyyyy #wanting something is not enough! she denies herself things she wants all the time!#it's difficult for him to parse.#anyway the answer to what the common thread is #is 'i like talking to you and you make me happy :)'
