Ok I finally sort of did it. Here's my official Azorah-lore playlist. Will eventually order it 'chronologically' but for now just enjoy the drow vibes.
One thing that is remarkable about the bg3 fandom is that you can find stans and debate for a all 3 of the main villains, Minthara, every “bad” version of the origin characters, and yet we all as a fandom agree that for these two it’s on sight. 😂

So I grew up on a farm when it was considered poor instead of classy and it’s wild to me how much it’s fetishized bc you know a rooster is still going to try and attack you and you gotta separate your pigs unless you want to have 20? And your ass is getting up at 6 bc they loud
@aceforspinaltap
What’s wild is you could tell Neil was trying to be respectful of the time crunch. The whole sequence is like an anxiety metaphor that I tell my friends isn’t reflective of reality.
@wizardsexual
I think it’s crazy how the same game that goes to show the nuances of Astarion’s journey will also be like
“I’m the narrator and Gale’s actually super into it so it’s cool”
It’s also wild how Gale will be straight up offended at the idea of Tav also dating Halsin but “is fine”
@Winter_XIV
That is very interesting. I actually took the opposite - AA is the one hiding and SpA is the one not
I see AA as someone doing a performance of someone powerful and SpA allowing himself to exist.
Granted an actor’s performance sometimes runs counter to the story the
@slooterman
I like this one because it’s dual sided for hot and cold temps and it’s all one piece that’s machine washable.
I’ve been using it in FL going on 2 years now.

@AvionetcaArt
I’m assuming the production has a very tight schedule to adhere to. And maybe they were wary bc of Chris judge from last year. I just wish they budgeted more time to Neil.
@kmzahos
Bruh how the fuck is one a leftist but not a feminist? Patriarchy is intertwined into capitalism. Opposing one without the other is a half measure.
@TheMattFG
You find her in the yard by the sword coast couriers. She was Scratch’s original owner and Scratch was afraid to go back to her. She beats the dogs ;-;
Let’s normalize not having to disclose your survivor status in order to be able to make a point. If the only reason someone wouldn’t disagree with my point is bc they had info related to that, I’d feel incredibly condescended to.
@mrjohncorcoran
Ok but what’s the excuse for the Lady Jannath letter? 😂 For casting Jason Isaacs? For giving him a lesbian manicure gauntlet? Larian knew what it was doing lol
@kmzahos
Radical feminism (the kind that is leftist and not recuperated by capitalism) that does not accept trans women misunderstands either intersectionality, a systematic critique of patriarchy, or both.
That’s a lot of words for being transphobic means you’re not really a leftist.
@Riparian_Reids
Agreed. There’s no way he’s restoring the shadowlands lol.
Imo the point of an astarion origin is for something not in the game.
To romance Minthara
To ascend
To start doing the tumblr daddy dom shit
To take an immediate axe to the face from Minthara

@tacticalchancla
Wish there was this much energy into shaming voter suppression than shaming voting. If a candidate was weak enough that her vote coulda thrown the election, then the candidate was already weak.
I’m old enough to remember when we ran campaigns based on voting for something.
@tired_bimbo
I agree a lot! I ran into a lot of tension in dating because while I was perfectly fine with a casual (low commitment, non monogamous) relationship, but wanted to value and be valued by the other party. The idea I wanted to know them as a human being was a big no no lol
@AshBCoffin
Legit when I was younger, my first exposure to "academic" feminism was TERFs. I don't understand the preoccupation with what other people are doing so much.
@skarsghardy
I hc that Astarion went for Wyll right away and confused/annoyed when Wyll wanted to get to know Astarion as a person and not immediately sleep together, so only then did Astarion go for Tav lol
@deannagmcdonald
@tacticalchancla
And before people jump into my menchies, I voted for Obama and then Hilary. But it’s not your friends fault that Hilary didn’t even campaign in states, or that she didn’t reckon with her record on economic issues (her husbands admin gutted unemployment/food stamp assistance).
@heapsidestrand
He wants the slutty clothes so that people simultaneously see how beautiful he is and feel bad that’s he’s cold and offer to cuddle.

@Ravenbeanz
This is genius because they just have to shut the fuck up to avoid but their narcissistic persecution complex will refuse to allow them and they’ll announce themselves haha
@ghoulbrainz
I hope this discourse gives way to people investing more into the characterization of their pookie rather than just their appearance.
Like play how you want, but the Tavs I like the most are the ones with something interesting going on outside of how they look.
@AstarionsWifey
I think it’s really informative of -why- AA treats Tav the way he does. He thinks of Tav the way he thinks of those servants. That’s why he is treating Tav “so much better” and gets so angry when Tav “complains” about wanting freedom.
@Winter_XIV
Yea I think a lot of people woobify him in both paths a lot.
Not that it’s perfect, but I view it as SpA chooses honesty an AA chooses power

@the1janitor
In an abusive relationship? Just leave. Have too much depression to move? Just go on a hike. Don’t have enough money to pay for your health needs and survive? Have you thought about dying needlessly?
@astarionsrose
I think that’s a smart thing that Larian’s writing team. I see a lot of parallels between Gortash and Astarion, for instance.
On an unascended route, Astarion differs bc he allows himself to be vulnerable enough to forge authentic meaningful relationships.
@mageofancunin
It’s the “shit” on my first pt that sealed the deal for me. Such girlfailure. (Thankfully my Tav was a wizard and could think through both of their actions and “collective” poor impulse control)
@dmbakura
I put this choice up there in the "return scratch to mariah" tier bc there's no benefit mechanically or anything redeemable about the decision.
