astarion only gets to say fuck 5 times in the whole game and most players will really only get to see 3 of them and idk i just feel like even though it’s not very proper, he deserved to say fuck more

brb killing cazador again it’s cathartic to me

[ujustlostthegame]

actually i’m not over this my coworker saw my astarion pin on my bag and said she’s never played bg3 but has seen people talk about it before and knows aaaaaallll about the characters stories and later she was asking if i read fanfic which like kind weird to ask someone you just met but we were talking fandom so i said yes and she said she “knew what kind of fanfic” i read because astarion is my favorite character. cool so you actually don’t know fucking anything about astarion if your first thoughts are that people only read and write smut and porn about him.

astarions act 1 scene that’s typically after the goblin camp. he has his back to you while he’s talking to you the next morning for a while. but later, if you ask if he wants you to look at his scars again or see if anyone else in camp can read them, he really doesn’t want anyone to see them.

he probably has NO IDEA what to do the morning after. because cazador would come to collect his victims shortly after the whole song and dance was finished. astarion isn’t used to dealing with the morning after thing and it’s probably really strange territory for him. like, yeah, the manipulation is working and you’re falling for it and the plan is working perfectly. but he hasn’t had anybody long term for basically as long as he can remember and he’s probably disgusted with himself for doing this again (in act 2 when you’re talking about Araj and he’s all “before i would have bitten her and just dealt with the disgust and self loathing afterwards how i always do!! :) ” ) and he cannot bring himself to look at you for a moment bc like what now?

idk either that or he’s just feelin the sun on his skin and just doesn’t want to turn around for a moment.

more evidence durgestarion is the best ship yknow when you want to bury your face into your partner when they’re sweaty and stinky? durge does that when astarions perfume has worn off after a long day and he kinda smells like death. it’s canon because i say so.

*Everyone sitting around the fireplace, Gale and Wyll are reading through some books that Gale brought from his library. Fern and Shadowheart are making potions. Astarion has a little pile of clothes that he’s working on mending*

Wyll: “I’ve always been a big fan of this author! Gale, do you know why he stopped writing so abruptly?”

Gale: “Well, he wasn’t very well known in his time, so it has been theorized that he started publishing under a different name, though there are others who say that perhaps he died prematurely. There are some who even think that perhaps he went missing, likely from somewhere here in the city. Rumor has it, he was last seen here, at the Elfsong. But it has been about seventy years now. I doubt we’ll ever really know.”

*Everyone but Fern turns and stares at Astarion*

Astarion: “Why does everyone automatically assume it’s me?? You know, I actually really enjoyed that author. I had heard that he was working on a new sonnet and was looking forward to reading it. And, I’m fairly sure I was in the kennel that week. It couldn’t possibly have been me.”

Shadowheart: “That’s a lot of details for an innocent man to remember.”

Astarion: “Not everybody who goes missing in the city was taken by our hands. Anything could have happened! He could have gone mad and wandered out into the sea, for all we know.”

Fern: *Looks up at Astarion* “So, it was Violet then?”

Astarion: “How did you know that.”
