Stay soft. Stay sweet.

I’m about to beat the game for the second time and I’m still completely taken by #Astarion’s arc. 🥺

Wish there was even more back ground lore exploring the characters lives before the events of the game.

This is how I imagine Astarion spends his night in the city before getting tadpoled and finding a moment of respite.

I made this one available as a print if people are interested!

Astarion in Early Access: "Hahaha yes I'm very charming and deceptive and evil and sex is so much fun and I really don't care about anyone."

Astarion in the Full Game: "I haven't had bodily autonomy in 200 years and I've forgotten how to be intimate with someone beyond using it to lure people to their deaths and I have so much trauma regarding sex and I seduced you because it's what I've had to do to survive for literal centuries and I needed you to be on my side but I wasn't supposed to fall in love with you but you're so kind and amazing that I fell anyway and I'm terrified of real emotions but I want *us* to be real because you deserve it and I really care about you but I need you to help me because this is all so new and I'm so scared but I want this to work and I-"

Grief is heavy.

Like a stone in your chest, weighing you down. 

Maybe it will be smoothed with time, but no less heavy.

reminders for those grieving a loved one:

+ it’s okay to have happy days, you’re not doing a disservice to your loved one by being happy.

+ the grief process is not linear. you will have good days. bad days. okay days. you’ll start your day happy and end it sad...or the reverse. be gentle with yourself. you’re doing great so far.

+ you’ll be reminded of your loved one. those memories may make you feel an incredible amount of emotions, from happy to sad.

+ it’s okay to feel nothing. to feel numb. you won’t always feel like crying or laughing. some days, you’ll feel apathetic. again, that’s okay...that’s normal.

+ keep their memory alive by remembering the good ole days with them. watch videos, look at photos, tell stories about them with your friends/family.

+ it’s okay to not want to talk about your loved one or look at old photos/videos of them. sometimes, it can be tough to remember the good times, because they make you miss them even more.

+ it’s okay to cry. it’s okay to sob. it’s okay to feel low. it’s okay to feel empty. it’s okay to feel anger. it’s okay to take time for yourself.

+ guilt is a normal part of the grieving process, but don’t blame yourself. or do your best to not blame yourself. you did the best you could. it’s not your fault.

+ lean on those around you for support. and support them as well (if they’re affected by the loss). talk to a therapist. find a grief support group.

+ don’t compare your grief to others’. your emotions and grieving process are valid, and should not be compared to those who are grieving as well.

+ it’s okay to feel angry, but do not take out your pain on other people. channel that anger into something healthy — like painting or running/exercising. if your anger becomes too much, i urge you to seek counseling (as it’s completely normal to).

+ know that you will heal. one day, you’ll have more up days than down days. you’ll smile more. you’ll feel like yourself again or a better version of yourself.

grief, i’ve learned, is really just love. it’s all the love you want to give but cannot. all that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and the hollow part of your chest. grief is just love with no place to go.

What it’s like to lose a parent

You aren’t prepared. You didn’t get to say everything you wish you could say to them because it’s too late. They were literally half of you, and you are no longer the same person. Actually, you don’t even care about who you are anymore. There’s very little you care about because reality doesn’t feel real. It’s all a blur. Because a world without your parent isn’t a world you have ever known, and now everything is different. People don’t understand your pain. They judge you, try to tell you how long you are allowed to grieve or how sad you are allowed to be or what should make you feel better. Get mad at you for not being okay. Ignore those people, they have no idea. It hurts. It will never not hurt and that’s okay. Grieve as long as you need to. Give yourself space if you need to. Cry when you need to. It’s a rough time right now and you need to take care of yourself and that’s okay.

underrated Romantic Things:

- making up excuses to walk them home or to their car just to spend an extra few minutes in the presence, even if you're going out of your way to do it, to make sure they get home safe

- the Eye Contact that lingers after one of you catches the other staring at them but don't bother to look away, eventually one of you breaking into a shy smile and the other joins

- playing with each other's hands and stroking their inner wrists with your thumb ever so tenderly

- absentmindedly singing to them when they're drifting to sleep in your arms, seeing their faint smile as they head toward a peaceful slumber

- surprise shoulder kisses when you lean against a lover

- reminding them to take care of themselves even if it's unneeded, just to be able to see them smile and nod and promise you that they will, for you

- subconsciously sniffing their shirt when you hug them tightly, and it's kinda weird but ??? you don't even realize you're doing it they just smell so good and you can feel them smile every time you do it so sndkdkd

- waiting all day to tell them any kind of good news that you got because you're most excited for their reaction and encouragement than anyone else's, no matter how hard it is keeping it from others throughout the whole day

- that quiet muttering of "i love you"s in between kisses pressed against your lips never getting old, feeling your stomach doing backflips every time they do it and just feeling so loved in that moment

- gravitating towards each other in any room that you find yourselves in, you don't even notice it until you're right next to them after a few minutes of being several feet from the other, the force of your love too strong to keep you apart for long
