astarion is SO fucking funny bc after he ascends if u like kick him in the balls he fucking permanently leaves your party. forever. but like what is going on in his head?? wasn’t he ready to destroy the world for you?? a kick in the nuts did it for him?? he’s so pathetic 😭
if you don’t pull karlach into a hug after she installs that last bit of infernal iron into her heart then i don’t trust you. untrustable for life actually.
the adventuring together epilogue where the narrator says "one night, he tells you that these last six months of happy memories are the counterweight to 200 years of misery"
AND WE HAVE AT LEAST 400 MORE TOGETHER. GET LOVED IDIOT. GET ABSOLUTELY CHERISHED.
HELLO HIS EXPRESSION HERE…. ☹️☹️☹️ the fact that this is probably the first kind touch he had in 200 years, let alone a hug. i won’t lie there are tears down my face as i type this when i tell you that i love him loads i mean it so much.
astarion being a sloppy eater is so real to me. mans has basically only fed on rats for centuries, so he is NOT ready to sip from a whole person without making a mess. i imagine this is him
i’ll never forgive larian for not letting tav/durge go after astarion when he starts burning from the sun… especially if you’re in a romance with him ;_; i just want to rush to his side, shield him with my body, and offer him comfort and shade. whispering that we’ll figure
yes astarion looks great in the drow armor, but the elven chain one???? we don’t talk about it enough. he looks so beautiful oh lord… someone save me before i go crazy
Astarion with his sleeves rolled up has always and will always make me sweat like a victorian man seeing an ankle for the first time I feel like I need to fan myself and lie down when I see it
i know astarion's "dont look at me like that- with the sweet little 'disappointed im not getting cuddly astarion' pout" line is supposed to be cutting and mean or whatever but man you are just confirming the existence of cuddly astarion.
hearing "i feel safe with you" from astarion is exactly the same feeling as winning a billion dollars idc. his every action was driven by fear & survival for 200 years and now he can just exist and relax and not be constantly paranoid or
think to gain the next advantage auuhhggg
the fact that he fully expects to close himself off again and never form a meaningful attachment, never fall in love again, not in a thousand years after durge is gone. a millenia of loneliness in his future without them.
gm everyone here’s astarion’s off-screen expressions during the confession scene. the hints of anxiety are so vulnerable on his face. he looks so conflicted w letting down his walls & anticipating what tav/durge will say. they hold his heart & can either embrace him or crush him.
doggystyle, sideways, frontwards, backwards, upside-down, 360 degrees, no condoms, skin on skin, on the living room, on the bedroom, on the fridge, on the closet, on the ceiling, on the walls, on the bathroom, on the couch, on the car and on the street
just sharing my thoughts but am i the only one not a big fan of the underdark ending with astarion??? i much prefer the adventurer ending, because i think it would be lovely for him to see the world without the concern of the elder brain, the chosen three, etc.
spawn astarion takes care of his things with love bc he had nothing for 200 years and finds happiness in the smaller things in life. in this essay, i will-
i love astarion's early access outfit so much. the poofy sleeves make him look like a little clown. a jester. a proper goof (which he is). im glad they gave it back to him in the epilogue... it feels rlly good
good morning astarion lovers here’s a first person pov when you try to break up with him (spawn) as durge and he says he’s not afraid of you or your darkness
i am in a very soft astarion mood today. no horny stuff. i just want to hold him very gently with love and care like he’s a precious kitten, wrap him up in a blanket, and plant a kiss on his forehead !!!
it’s still really funny that astarion set up a whole cutesy picnic when you spend the night with him for the first time in the forest and y’all don’t even end up using it because you both get too lost in the sauce boning in the twigs and dirt
i love astarion's early access outfit so much. the poofy sleeves make him look like a little clown. a jester. a proper goof (which he is). im glad they gave it back to him in the epilogue... it feels rlly good
[GLASS SHATTERING] [TIRE SCREECHES] [BUILDINGS FALLING] GOOD GOD [SCREAMING] [SIRENS] WEE WOO WEE WOO [BABY CRYING] WAAAAH WAAAAAAAAH !!! [TREES FALLING] WE'RE REPORTING LIVE ON THE SCENE– [CAR CRASHING] MY LEG MY LEG !!!
thinking about after astarion’s first taste of tav/durge, he goes off to pleasure himself. their blood still lingers on his tongue and he fantasizes about the veins beneath their skin. yeah goodbye
why can’t your companions have a proper reaction to durge dying…. it’s so lacking for no reason. larian i want screaming, crying, falling to the floor, choking, cursing out bhaal, puking!!! IDC.
