He won’t leave me alone 😭

Shared this rambling with some server friends the other day, but I was rewatching some Ascended Astarion dialogue (swimming in the brainrot, as one does), and was struck by one of the dialogue options in the conversation after he turns Tav. I hadn't really given it much focus/attention previously.

You can say something like "You've seemed distant since the ritual" and when he responds, he owns it, saying something like "huh, maybe you're right," before going on to wax about how everything seems so much slower because his new instincts are kicking in, and he's still riding the tide of that change.

I thought it was sweet and sort of telling that while he doesn't apologize for it, he acknowledges his SO's feelings/assessment of it as a fair one, and offers them insight into his own current feelings of acclimating to this monumental change he's going through.

And I think this gets glossed over because yes, he's a bit arrogant here, he's still Astarion after all, but he doesn't rebuke his partner for pointing this out. There's a level of care and responsibility he shows his partner by accepting their assessment, offering his own feelings on the matter, and clarifying that any distancing between them isn't intentional or out of lack of love. It's in his own Astarion sort of way, but I see it as an attempt to reassure his partner all the same.

And, as a friend pointed out to me, his insistence that his powers will come with time could be out of want to reassure his SO they made the right decision, and that Astarion will be their protector here on out instead of the other way around (see also: "You need not fear anything.")

It might not be the most popular interpretation, but interactions like this make me feel like if his consort was like "hey you seem upset" or distant or angry or anything like that in the future, he would listen earnestly and attempt to assuage those concerns/admit to his role in them.

It's the implications that his SO is being deprived or left wanting for something (like freedom for example) that provoke the angry reactions from him, as he feels very strongly that he's providing everything for them and sees himself in that provider role, I think he takes that as more of an insult than an observation.

I love and hate Severus Snape in equal measures. Also, Harry Potter would have been 100% better if he was actually a vampire but only the teachers and the golden trio knew for sure. He would mess around with the students on purpose and listen to their weird theories to further mess with them. Minerva would think it's funny on the inside and would only tell him off occasionally.

pretty iconic that on one stormy night a bunch of dark academia gays gave the world not just frankenstein but also the broody vampire as we know it

(apparently) controversial opinion but I don’t think being into this:

makes you a Monsterfucker™️. maybe, maybe, Monsterfucker Lite™️ because there’s a chance of grimmjow trying to rip your intestines out with his teeth.

for me, personally, you gotta be into something more like this:

to really qualify.

gnawing the bars of my enclosure thinking about how absolutely Perplexed astarion would be at the fact that wyll ravengard put “kill gortash,” and “kill cazador,” on his to do list before they even got to baldur’s gate over the course of a single conversation and nothing more

astarion being like you have to want something in return!!! you must have demands to make, surely!!! like What Do You Mean you’re doing this for the greater good and the relief that your friends are safe?????

and astarion being like. hawk-eyed watching wyll, expecting it to be a trick. holding his breath for the other shoe to drop. convinced that wyll’s gonna turn around and leverage his good deeds and kindness for Something. and he just ends up watching wyll being that kind and helpful to literally everyone they meet on the road.

and then he’s even trying to refuse gold for their services!!!! what the fuck is this guy’s deal, now he’s being selfless to the point of stupidity. and astarion’s losing his fucking mind about how consistent wyll is because now he kind of believes this fool really doesn’t have ulterior motives, which is the most absurd and ridiculous thing!!! everyone has ulterior motives, right?????
