Staring at the Ass: My Baldur's Gate 3 Astarion Journey

My name is Nessie. I suffer from Schizophrenia, Anxiety, and Depression. I finally saved up for a PS5 and I welcome you to my small gaming journey. Games so far, Baldur's Gate 3, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Stray, Chronicles of The Wolf, Final Fantasy XVI, Lies of P, Lost Soul Aside, Clair Obsur Expedition 33, Date Everything, and OverWatch 2.

So, I picked up Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance for the PS5.

My Lies of P art book arrived too from Indigo.

Now I’m one Zangoose card missing for my collection. The one where Zangoose might be twerking in the pic.

So gonna pick it up via TCGPlayer.

Got a vacation next week and bringing my plush with me. So expect photos of him.

No pool pics because my time of the month arrives that week.

Bringing Advil and pads.

I’m getting 50$CAD next week. If I can’t buy snacks this weekend, I might pick up Skautfold after my trip at EBX.

I’m gonna label it as a post than a response on my other previous posts.

Do you want me to play PETA Devil’s Advocate?

Cause the same thing happens daily in the meat industry with all innocent animals being cruelty killed for food.

Of course we say they’re animals breed to eat. Yet there same people who use this excuse of innocents being slaughtered and Ascended Astarion is an ass.

You do realize when you met him, he was willing to knife the player?

Plus another thing you antis forgot about Ascended Astarion.

HE IS FICTIONAL.

It’s very tiring that Antis use the same bullshit reasons to downplay our admiration to him. They kinda forget the player helped Astarion to ascend.

But keep very quiet when Tav becomes Bhaal’s Chosen, a rise in power.

So why are we bitching at Astarion getting powers?

Just say you don’t like vampires acting like vampires.

It’s pretty annoying seeing the same reason told by every other antis. Can you find other reasons why you hate AA?

The same excuse is very tiring and annoys a lot of regular fans.

I respect you posting what you said in my previous post. Hence hiding your name.

I have a job to do. I don’t harass antis 24/7. I actually got work and I have a vacation next week.

It’s because of fans second judging my mind, I had stopped playing BG3. You fans tend to turn off people of said fanbase.

If anyone else continues to use this excuse again, I’m blocking their ass.

New books I picked up yesterday. Had to get help to find the Pokémon book.

Came up to 94$CAD.

Hey! I just wanted to give you a little hug in words. Don’t sweat that fake drama, and ignore anyone throwing shade at you. Block the negativity and take care of yourself ♥️

I’m ok. It’s a rainy day and I got my iPad ready to type out stories about Astarion. Block button is my new friend. Then seeing more blogs of said person harassing a spawn fan.

This advice I give to them that I found on Facebook today:

I hope to do some gaming when I head back home.

[rpgwiththevampireps5]

Ignore them, darling, they're not worth your time. These people are so consumed with hatred it's almost painful to watch.

I know. I made @missdramu because I witnessed the craziest Sailor Moon fans. Like one person defending a VA actor because he graped a fan.

And @pissoffbowden is from looking at a horrible author of the Assassin’s Creed novels series.

It seems every fanbase is mad here, Alice.

[rpgwiththevampireps5]

Aaaaand their reblogs on the last asks show exactly what I've been saying: they just like throwing oil into the fire and keep tagging the game and all its main tags so they can "gain traction" from all this and make it miserable for the fans.

They need to heal and leave the fandom alone. How about making content, REAL fan content with that energy instead of creating drama? this is absurd.

The schizophrenic person is more sane than the fanbase of a fictional vampire in a video game.

I am old. I’m debating to work something in AAugust tag.

I want to game and draw. I still need to work on my image with Neil from Comic Con.

Until Next Post.

I genuinely hope this tamara person will stop because she's been reblogging people's posts, people that have not been involved in drama, and spamming them, sending her minions in their comments sections and dms with threats, asking said persons to "delete or else", having her minions insult people too. This woman is crazy, all of this over a damn VIDEO GAME

Exactly.

I’m schizophrenic. I’m considered legit crazy.

But I’m not annoying everybody with their choices of how they play with Astarion in a damn video game.

Someone needs to touch grass.

[myloveboymysweetiepie]

You talk shit about someone, then cry the second they clap back. You really thought no one would notice you backing her bullying? How many posts have you made about her already? And your friends?

Y'all are so fucked up you make fake accounts just to harass one person. You bully creators. You're seriously unhinged. It's about damn time someone called you out instead of staying quiet. I'm done sitting on the sidelines too.

You're 40 years old and acting like this. Grow the fuck up.

[rpgwiththevampireps5]

Dude. I only called her a c*nt after blocking her. I do not make multiple accounts to harass her. I only did MissDramu post for tarama hitting all my sensory spots.

She started this because I tried to support marielle555.

My multiple accounts are for me to discuss various fandoms. Not going on harassing tamara.

So if you don’t like me calling out your BS, there’s the block button.

That Tamraspizz account is honestly unhinged. She reblogged your post and, as usual, left a massive wall of text full of accusations and insults, trying to prove… something. I'd really recommend blocking her account. Otherwise, she'll just keep harassing you and your friends.

I already did block her.

She can call me out if she wants too. That’s my @missdramu account, whereas I dealt with unhinged Sailor Moon fans on the internet. Such as Usagi Kou, Vaush, ArtemisLover, and Elly from MissDrama.

If she’s that butthurt about people liking vampires being vampires in a D&D setting that she has to harass others to look good about her opinion, go play another game.

Like I said it before, Ascended Astarion is not Sadako Yamamura. He cannot crawl out of your screen to hurt you.

I’m in my 40s. I can deal with this bullshit.

-V

[rpgwiththevampireps5]

Why am I suddenly reminded of Elly from MissDrama in this post? Elly tried to take down a forum down because of one disagreement on feminism.

Remember, she’s doing this victim complex OVER A FICTIONAL VAMPIRE’S ROLE IN A VIDEO GAME.

Three years and we still can’t disagree with each other because morons like her thinks everyone should enjoy Spawn Astarion.

That’s not how RPGs works. That’s not how D&D vampires work.

Fuh, going back to playing The Last Faith. 2D style PS5 game that is easier than Bloodborne and has free DLC this year.

I figured that was the post you were talking about. It's a very cherry picked summary of Rooney's latest interveiw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da3bTy3-bm8 That's the link if you'd like to watch it for yourself.

I like how you Anons basically try to downplay people actually liking Ascendant Astarion and are trying to find proof that AA isn’t a total asshole.

It’s a fucken game.

Ascendant Astarion is not like Sadako Yamamura. He can’t hurt you physically.

Oh, they cherry picked the interview? Therefore their opinion doesn’t matter.

Man, stop being an annoying little Anon and touch grass.

-V

[rpgwiththevampireps5]

So the quotes about bride ritual being an Easter egg, and the one the post you posted complaining about are the same interview. And neither is actually a thing Rooney said.

It's 23 or so minutes on YouTube and a fun summary. He says the dark kiss came up but he wasn't thinking about it when writing the romance, but he can't speak for other writer working on the scenes. If it's there it's definitely not a one to one thing.

He also never calls romancing AA a nightmare. He does say it's an inherently uneven power dynamic and that in ascending Astarion is trying to recreate the shitty dynamics he experienced but putting himself at the top this time. He said AA doesn't love Tav but that he thinks he does. But he does need them way down here, and then he gestured broadly to the floor.

He also said people can headcanon whatever they want, so, if you want to think AA and Tav have a healthy dynamic, you can do that.

He also talks a bit about how he was very specifically trying not to reference other Faerun vampires or their lore too heavily.

I’m using this reference.

It’s just, so many people assume AA relationship with Tav is abusive.

Yet seeing videos, he’s a very consent person.

I still dunno after 3 years, people are still bitching about AA.

New Astarion song that was released on my birthday.

[rpgwiththevampireps5]

Apparently another interview with Stephen Rooney says he’s a nightmare if you ascend Astarion.

But didn’t we get confirmation that The Bride Ritual is confirmed Easter Egg?

Oh? We must be on something because we embrace The Vampire Ascendant…

IN A VIDEO GAME RPG.

I take meds daily. These folks call me crazy when they bitch on us looking at Ascended Astarion as we’re perverts and deserve abuse.

Goddamn. It’s been zero days since there wasn’t a person bitching on Ascended Astarion in said tag. None of the fans of the other BG3 characters gets hate for ascending into powerful roles, so why must Ascendant Astarion should be a cautionary tale?

Put on their names for blocking. Fucken idiots.

Finally found my chase card.

Then had orange creamsicle flavour ice cream.

Waiting for items from AmazonCA tonight.

[rpgwiththevampireps5]

So pre-ordered the Astarion eBook and Audiobook off Kobo’s website for my eReader.

Next month, I plan to pre-order the physical copy at Indigo bookstore.

I had a pleasant birthday and I bought a few things off Amazon to show up tomorrow.

I am leftover with cheesecake from a Greek bakery.

So here’s a kitty named Kira.

[rpgwiththevampireps5]

Back from PokeHobby.

Nothing great. My chase card was too expensive, so I settled for another Zacian V card.

No Zangoose cards though. 😭

So gonna buy them next month on eBay.

Happy Birthday to me. Gonna celebrate with family tomorrow afternoon.
