I know everyone likes a tragic lil backstory but like. Astarion wasn't a child when he was turned. Repeat it with me, Astarion wasn't a child when he was turned. He was 39 when he originally died, you might be thinking "Elves don't mature till they're 100 you silly billy", that only applies if they're living in an elf only society, elves live for a really long time so of course to other elves he was seen as young but he wasn't a child, not even by elvish standards, he was a young adult in elven standards. He had a job, he was on his own!!! He wasn't a child, he was young but stop saying that he was a child.
#astarion#baldur's gate 3#astarion bg3#elves reach physical maturity about the same time as humans!!#y'all need to remember that elves can live to over 900#even by elven standards he was considered a young adult#he wasn't even raised in elven culture!!!!!!!#>:CC#stop infantilasing him#also y'all are weirdddd when you are like “awee he was only a child when turned :c” then go on to romance him and ascend him#because vampires basically stop aging when theyre turned#people in general are really weird about him#like if youre gonna sexulise him dont infantilise him tf????#infodumping i guess??#dungeons and dragons
