just discovered something really good
This might be one of the most heartbreaking Astarion moments in the entire game.
If you play Dark Urge, eventually, in late Act 3, Tav gets to try to get rid of the urges for good, or, embrace them further. There is a possible outcome where neither of these happen: instead, Tav becomes an outcast cursed to be a murder beast forever, never to be able to get rid of the hunger.
Non-Ascended Astarion's reaction to it is... well... My heart broke in a million pieces, let's say. Because of Neil's amazing acting, as usual, I felt like listening to the conversation is a must. That's why I had to attach the video, too.
But these specific small moments are breaking me more than others.
The subtle but visible drop of his shoulders. He feels so sad and defeated for Tav.
...And this line? Definitely the most tragically poetic/romantic I've ever heard him.
He is so sure he will never love again after Tav, let alone find someone like them.
This has all but confirmed my personal headcanon that unless something tragic happens, Tav and Astarion will stay together for hundreds of years. EDIT:
It's actually so much worse in the ending of the game...
I finished the game on this save path (I'll never consider it canon for my lovely boys and I deleted it after I finished recording all dialogue paths) and the Urges overwhelm Tav the minute the tadpole is gone, but only after Astarion runs to hide from the sun.
Tav has to either stab themselves to death immediately (right in front of other companions) to not become a mindless murderer. If they take merely a moment to plan their future, whatever it is, they get possessed by Bhaal right at the docks. Red glowy eyes, "Orin's" dagger spawning in their hand out of nowhere, all sanity and will gone. And them walking into the city with the dagger in hand is how the game ends.
Tav and Astarion never get their last day together. Astarion running away from the sun is the last time they see each other. No last goodbye, no last celebration, not even an hour of victory bliss and peace.
In the video above, Astarion sounds like he hopes to have at least a few months with Tav, maybe. At least a few days of enjoying the complete freedom together.
In the end, he never got any time with them.
i am in so much pain right now
Another Astarion edit! Can you blame me?
Please knock 🙏
im fucking crying at the gale one
Astarion lectures of disappointment >>>
Genuinely loved the experience of being at camp for the first time and seeing all the companions with their tits out like they’re all gonna go clubbin or some shit
Then there’s Gale
Who’s just. So utterly swagless that his clothes smell like dusty old books. My man doesn’t give a fuck about the drip he’s getting his ass ready for bed
The Pale Elf
ship: fem!Tav x Astarion
tw: smut towards the end
a/n: hello darlings, i jumped into the baldur's gate world and absolutely fell for that evil pale elf and couldn't resist the urge of writing a one shot with him, i hope it's not as bad as i think it is. hope you enjoy<3
summary: you look over Baldur's Gate, wondering what will come next, thinking what you're going to do after all of it is over...
Whoever was responsible for the kiss scene at Larian...
the way his hand slowly moves up....
I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT V PUTTING UP JOHNNY'S HAIR IN PIGTAILS AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD
i will cry please..
Hey
