some thoughts about astarion because i'm tired of the internet reducing him to one thing

when bg3 came out in early access, astarion was always seen as the extremely flirty, confident guy who enjoyed sex (or so we thought) and spoke about it like it was his favourite thing. he was also kinda marketed as the “sexy vampire”, so you can understand why many people saw him that way based on the little amount of content we had. even while playing act 1 and act 2, many players still might think of him like that because he does have a very charismatic personality and he asks to sleep with you very early on, so it just automatically makes you think he’s genuinely happy doing that and being totally serious.

BUT!!!!!!! we end up finding out later on that’s NOT the case and it was all part of a plan to seduce us in order for him to gain protection. he opens up about his past and his trauma and how he was forced to use his body to lure people back to cazador. he struggles with intimacy and relationships in general because of this. that’s why i really hope that people stop reducing him to “hot sexy vampire that loves flirting and having sex with everyone” when that is not who he is, he’s literally traumatised because of sex due to being forced into it and he’s slowly trying to heal. he’s also so much more than just “the hot vampire”, ya know? if you actually put in the effort to get to know him, you will see who he truly is underneath and he has many loveable traits to appreciate.

you may not see the “soft” side of him very often because he hides it, but it’s there!! one thing i noticed that really stood out to me was that when i gave food to an orphan in act 3 and he approved. back when you first met him, he probably would’ve done the opposite or had no reaction at all. i also saw a clip of someone trying to romance karlach and astarion and he literally told tav to choose karlach over him because he can see that karlach loves her. he said normally an arrangement would work for him but after everything karlach has been through, he doesn’t want to get in the way or see her hurt. letting tav go is also hard for him as well but he still thought about someone else. he could’ve whined or been possessive or jealous but he didn’t do that at all. where are all those people who reduce astarion to “the guy that flirts and sleeps with everyone” now? seriously. that’s not what he does, and when he was forced into it by cazador, he was trying to survive, he didn’t do it for his own pleasure. it’s not a “hot” personality trait of his, it’s literally trauma. and because he did it so much, he got used to it, and that resulted in him disassociating and feeling empty.

apparently if you ask him to join you and sleep with the drows at the brothel (something i will never make him do in my playthroughs), he only says yes because he struggles to say no. but he disassociates. and if you’re in a high approval relationship with him and he loves you, he will feel safe enough to express his feelings and say he’s not comfortable. this happens before you fight cazador. i’m not sure if he gives the same response after, but either way, if he joins in, he will always disassociate and it’s not something he wants to do despite what he may say.

that being said, it’s obviously still okay to appreciate his beauty and attractiveness, because he is very beautiful. he appreciates it and even likes being called beautiful. calling him “hot” and “sexy” isn’t a bad thing either, we know he can be and i'm sure he knows it too! it’s just annoying when people act like that’s ALL he is and they don’t even mention anything else about his character. the love scenes are beautifully done too (i personally prefer the second one after you’ve stopped him from doing the ritual, because that’s the one where he decided he truly wanted it and felt safe and comfortable because he genuinely loves you), and i actually would’ve been fine if they didn’t have any scenes like that at all because it’s totally understandable and valid if he didn’t feel comfortable, but i just hope that people don’t take things too far and over-sexualise him just because of how he appeared to be in the first half of the game and the way he’s often marketed on social media. and yes i know he’s fictional and nothing on the internet is going to hurt his feelings!!!! it’s more about the fact that he canonically has sexual trauma and many people still say really disturbing stuff even AFTER they find out about that, and it just makes me uncomfortable to think that people are okay with treating someone like a sexual object especially when they've said they're traumatised and it makes them uncomfortable. idk if this makes sense 😭

but yeah he doesn't want to flirt and sleep with everyone as i've seen people claim. and if in an alternate universe he did, and he did it on his OWN terms, and the other people he had relationships with enjoyed it too, then good for them! absolutely nothing wrong with that if there's consent, respect and honesty. however, that's not the case with what happened with astarion, because 1. he was forced into using his body WHEN HE DID NOT WANT TO and 2. he misled people and lured them to a miserable fate. it's so horrible and devastating for everyone involved. sex was never something fun for him, and it certainly isn't a "personality trait" of his. it was a survival tactic. he was forced to. he didn’t want to.

obviously when he becomes more comfortable, then it's totally understandable to get excited when he flirts and shows physical affection. he can be so charming, funny, sweet and romantic and i love that. it’s so beautiful to see him heal, genuinely find comfort in someone for the first time and experience intimacy that he feels ready and comfortable for. he deserves to love and be loved on his own terms instead of being forced. but again, he is so much more than the guy we were introduced to at the beginning. the internet just sees one thing and sticks with it but i really hope people start to actually appreciate him for who he is and the complexity of his character.

aaaaand i just had to leave this here <3

#astarion #baldur’s gate 3 #bg3 #sorry for rambling i’ve just been very emotional about him recently 😭 #also i hope people remember that even if he NEVER EVER wanted to have sex again he is 100% valid #he does not have to change or force himself to feel a certain way #especially after everything he’s been through #and if you think he does then you’re gross. he doesn’t owe anyone ANYTHING #anyways #when he kept apologising for not sleeping with tav i wanted to cry #there is literally a scene where if you tell him halsin is interested in you he says it’s ok to go to him #but then he gets concerned and asks if it’s because he hasn’t slept with you for a while #and i wanted to cry #he should NEVER have to feel guilty for that #honestly the only reason why i think he might eventually feel comfortable with sex again is because -> #in act 3 after his genuine love confession after you help him defeat cazador he initiates it himself #and it feels like it’s something he truly wants after developing a strong emotional bond with someone for the first time #and i think that’s really beautiful that he chose to do it on his own terms when he felt ready #but also #for a while i wasn’t sure if he was repulsed and uncomfortable by sex in general and hated it entirely #or if he only feels comfortable after he develops a strong emotional bond #the only reason i think the second one now is because of what happened in act 3 #but regardless whatever it is i just want him to feel safe and comfortable and happy #my posts

maybe i'm reading too much into this (and i probably am) but it's such an interesting choice for hori to make it so izuku's rightful place during this final war arc was for him to be at katsuki's side, but he gets STOLEN from that rightful place to hear?? what honestly is a very noticeably out of place/ill-timed hetero love confession (i think even tsu is like THIS AINT THE TIME FOR THIS) and then katsuki DIES because of that. like forced heterosexuality directly leads to katsuki getting killed. izuku doesn't belong in this forced heterosexual love confession he belongs with katsuki and being taken away from katsuki leads to him almost losing katsuki forever.

#bkdk #bakudeku #hori what are you trying to tell me what am i supposed to glean from this #hori says heterosexual love kills people actually #alsjdflkasf #i know i'm reading into this but like it's #it's so #izuku gets TAKEN FROM HIS RIGHTFUL PLACE to be forced into hearing a love confession and meanwhile loses the real love of his life??? #am i.... yes probably reading too much into this but it feels so intentional #like it's right there it feels??? #i dont know this is probably reaching but i cant stop thinking about how izuku and katsuki were supposed to fight together #they belonged TOGETHER

ive said it before and i'll say it again, saiki kusuo will never ever be the one to make the first moves in a relationship... i dont care WHO hes dating or likes, if its the most traditionally feminine girl who wants to be romanced or the most pathetic loser guy, you could not convince him to confess first, kiss first, even TOUCH or TALK TO first, if you held him at fucking gunpoint with no way of escape.. youll have to shoot him, cuz hes NOT doing it..

the fact that some of you guys DONT see saiki as the pathetic stubborn loser that he is is literally ASTONISHING.

#god i love him hes so fucking lame its actually crazy #the ONLY scenarios i can see where saiki confesses first- #are like terribly angsty scenarios where its basically forced out of him #cough cough the fic im currently writing cough cough sorry #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #saiki kusuo #meows post

That forced regression post is so good… Being asked how old you are and sniffling out the answer your yandere wants to hear while you’re trying your best to dissociate 😭 Feeling sick after telling them the “right” answer and being praised and coddled and cooed over because they know you don’t want to think about your new life and they want to make it impossible to ignore. Maybe you get rewarded with “age appropriate” activities or gifts for good behavior, adding insult to injury. You tell your captor you’re “this many” and hold up the appropriate number of fingers, only to be given a plushie or coloring book or get a sticker on your behavior chart (you resist the urge to tear it down from where it taunts you on the fridge because you’re still scarred from your punishment last time). Good job, darling, such a good, smart little one learning for your yandere… maybe you can make something together later: a finger paint craft where your hands and theirs make matching hearts, or baked goods where you can “help” by mixing or dumping the pre measured ingredients into the bowl.

They’re so proud you finally feel “safe” enough to be vulnerable with them— they know it can be scary to be so small with someone watching over you, and you can get some icky feelings about being different, but they want you to know they love you for who you are… When they remind you who that is, of course.

Because sure: it’s upsetting to play with little kid toys and get reminded how to play “correctly”. Lining up your toys isn’t playing, you’d have much more fun if you used the cars as cars, or had your dinosaurs talk to each other. But at least they treat you as patronizingly gently as you would a normal child or regressor that age. You don’t have to say you’re a grown up and deal with the grownup problems they force on you— their own sick ways of bonding, or showing their frustrations with you in more dangerous, medkit-requiring ways.

They ask when they’re down for some fun, bored, or maybe just need to relax. And you’ve learned that as fucking humiliating as it is, there is a right answer, and it’s better to take that approach.

When you say your an adult, you get hurt. When you say you’re feeling small, you can get cartoon bandaids slathered with antibacterial cream placed on your fresh cuts and infected burns.

You get crafts and baking and pinches on your cheeks until it hurts, then ice cream and popsicles to make it better. And it’s degrading.

But it’s the lesser of two evils.

i think that its absolutely wild that whenever the topic of fat representation gets brought up it’s always garroth who’s mentioned as the fat guy example? like, im all for musclechub garroth hcs but why are we prioritizing the only canonically fatphobic character as our go to fat rep when there are already canonically fat characters who exist. or was i the only person who watched the episodes where garroth noticed zane was quote “a bit tubby” and immediately resorted to cruel and unusual punishment

People make truth potions soooo serious. Personally if a friend said ‘I like you’ or ‘I love you’ it would be considered something sweet since they cannot lie and didn’t say ‘I hate you’. Not a confession of romantic love that the world must now be staked on as it is acted out

#same as drunk confessions like bro. BRO. be nice and be cool #you should love your friends #what’s the issue #and even if it was a confession of romance or lust well they’re under forced conditions #be nice that they were forced to reveal things they otherwise wouldn’t #what’s hard to understand here #they like you and love you. obviously??? #people tend to not spend their free time with people they don’t like???? #anyway friendship is cool and truth serum should be less embarrassing over nothing #truth serum deserves better than being a plot device #personally if someone doubled over trying not to say the words ‘I like you’ I think they’d need a tap on the head #it’s not a confession it just sounds like they were reluctant to confess something harmless #and unspoken of I suppose?? #isn’t the concern that they’re forced to say anything at all much more harrowing than saying nice things about a friend
