for fond canons, i recently kinfirmed astarion and what really made it Click for me was that i had a wife pre-cazador. (for the bg3 fans/ kinnies, yes i saw that one bait post on twitter but i fixated on it so hard i realized it had to be for kinnie reasons.)
we were arrange-married and it took a pretty long time to actually learn to like each other given our different backgrounds. we (notably, *i*) put in a lot of work to make Us work, and i ended up really falling in love with her.
i suffered so much that i’d forgotten who she was and why she was so important to me. not to mention the physical changes, i just didn’t recognize her anymore. i know that i met her again during the illithid invasion and after we were kidnapped by them, but as a relatively new fictotype i can’t recall yet how… that went haha.
in the end, i remember her as a hardworking woman, eternally kind and not once allowed me to walk all over her with my arrogance and stupidity haha. or, really, any other fool like me. she was creative and so, so smart. she ran her parents’ business so well, and when she didn’t, she painted and played various instruments and just… she was so full of life. i miss her terribly.
