Do yall ever think

[tenebris-lux]

I hate it when people are like, “Astarion’s scared of this guy? THIS GUY?? [gesturing to Cazador] He’s so lame and unimpressive! What a little bitch!” I hate that. Cazador is unimpressive to us, because we just met him and he has no power over us. He’s had Astarion under his heel for TWO HUNDRED YEARS, and the best days with him that Astarion could hope for was to not be noticed. It’s not Cazador’s mannerisms, appearance or demeanor that inspired those feelings in Astarion—it’s everything that was done to him. We, the players, the Tavs, don’t have any of that, just second-hand knowledge. That and the fact that we learn so much about Cazador (before finally meeting the guy) builds him up in our minds as this nightmarish force that could rival, if not outdo, the denizens of the hells. So then, in actually meeting Caz, it’s quite the comedown. AND I LOVE THAT. That contrast. I met him and was completely unimpressed with his demeanor, but that didn’t matter because I had no actual history with him. (He’s no walk in the park to fight either.)

“Astarion’s such a little baby about this.” Spoken like someone who can’t comprehend being starved, flayed, prostituted, tortured, verbally abused by someone who “rescued” you from dying … all with the fear that you have nowhere else to go, and if you try (which is futile), it’ll only get worse. Like, put yourself in that spot. Really think about it.

Also, a person being scared of someone isn’t a sign of general weakness. There’s no one in the world that’s universally scary; it always comes down to each person’s perception in the end. It doesn’t make someone a weak person for them to be scared of someone that you hold contempt for.

dont you think its weird how your sister isnt even from the same fiction as you lmao

no? My mother isn't from my canon, and shes still my mother. My sister is my sister even if we dont share blood, legal, or canon relations. If you think it's strange that I have somebody who found me despite everything then I do think you should think on that for a bit instead of sending me anonymous messages on my blog. Me and my sister are made of stardust from the same star, it doesnt matter if im a bunny rabbit and shes a puppy dog, or if im a little tragic boy from the 80s and shes a digital pop idol from Japan. I hope you get better soon, anon.

I'm so used to just saying whatever the fuck I want on here I forget that you gotta tone it way the fuck down irl. I loudly said something about assassination in a public space and my life flashed before my eyes
