Neil Newbon on Ascended Astarion

Neil: I do love the fact that I got to create kind of two characters in one.

Blue Owl Medic: I was just thinking that. Yeah, you did.

Neil: So now that the game has come out and the whole thing, we can talk a little bit more freely about the game. No real spoilers, folks, because obviously people are still playing through it, which is amazing, including me. But there is an ascended Astarion, which people probably know, as well as an unascended Astarion. I'm not going to go into details of why, although it is all over the internet, but anyway.

But one of the fun things that I got to do with the directors and the writer as well, with Stephen, and also the other writers that contributed towards Astarion, [is that they] wrote this ascended storyline. And so, when I came across that, I realized that 'Oh, his voice probably changes as well, because his whole status changes and his whole situation changes and his power changes.' So I got to do something else, because that would also be an easy way to switch between one and the other.

And so I decided that, well, I've always talked about Astarion being very theatrical. So what if Astarion's unascended spawn is theatrical, and ascended Astarion is operatic, and I use that as a sort of launchpad. So that one is theatre, one is opera. So the two are the same kind of things, but essentially… Do you know what I mean? It's like that kind of thing.

I offered that up to the directors and they really liked it. Kirsty Gilmore was the first person who I tried it with. I think it was Kirsty Gilmore, who is an amazing director. I'm pretty sure it was her session I did the first Lord Astarion and we set the tone there. And that was really cool.

BOM: And I don't know if that was your choice, but he also holds himself differently.

Neil: Yes, he does, he definitely holds himself differently.

BOM: He stands way more upright, his chest is a little more out

Neil: Yes, that's status. That's all Laban work. We're just using completely different status shift changes as well. So whereas he has a lot of flow and all that kind of stuff and it's theatrical and distracting--it's always 'look over here and don't see how I really feel' with spawn Astarion.

With Lord Astarion, we talked a lot about the idea that the cover is now off completely. So that you see him at his most terrible, and it's completely honest and he doesn't have to pretend anymore. So he loses a lot of the flamboyance and the fun of the theatricality, which is all a distraction anyway. That's all distraction so you don't see how he's hurt and damaged and his vulnerability. Lord Astarion doesn't need that anymore. So we just thought, okay, now *mimics taking off a mask* it's off. He doesn't need to pretend, he doesn't need to do too much. It's all about the status and that kind of stuff.

It was a really fun experience to take a character I've been doing for a long time and then flip it. And that was, again, brilliant writing by Larian, brilliant storytelling by them all and brilliant ideas. So yeah, it was really fun.

An Iron-Blooded Orphans playlist

I have a post concerning Iok halfway done but it's been a bad week for productivity, so here's some frivolity instead, namely the music I use to put myself in the zone for writing IBO fanfic at the moment (I’ve been doing it a year straight now, send help).

General songs for the mood

The entirety of IBO's soundtrack. It's great. I can also recommend the music from the SD CrossRays adaptation of Iron-Blooded Orphans: Gekko (the spin-off manga). It's a different style to the main series stuff, but equally internally consistent and very fitting to the story - the tracks are easy to find on YouTube.

RAGE OF DUST by SPYAIR – obviously.

Fighter by KANA-BOON – equally duh.

Six Feet by Patent Pending – speaks to the reasons everyone's in this mess.

Blood and Money by The Orion Experience – ditto, in the key of 'very gay'.

The Recruiting Sergeant by The Levellers – there are dozens of version of this song; this is the most modern I'm aware of. It's my go-to song for conscripts, fools and other people in the military out of poor life choices (or lack thereof).

A New England by Kirsty MacColl – I genuinely have no idea why this song makes me think of IBO, and specifically the relationships. It's not remotely fitting and yet it chimed so strongly that I named my fic series after a line from it.

Embers by Skinny Lister – A song for the series epilogue.

Get Better by Frank Turner – A song for everything after the epilogue, at least as it exists under my keyboard.

Character songs

(Please bear in mind I write mainly post-canon, so these are evoking specific versions of the characters – ask me to show my working if you want!)

Wolf Like Me by TV On The Radio – Mikazuki/fighting, basically.

Easy As Sunrise by Holy Moly & The Crackers – McGillis/the idea of Mikazuki and Tekkadan.

Apparition #13 by Thea Gilmore – Julieta, in terms of the role she puts herself in.

My Silver Lining by First Aid Kit – Kudelia, in moments of weariness.

Some Kind of Hero by Felix Hagan & the Family – Eugene, somewhat indirectly. It's what he wants to be.

Parallax by Afterlight – Yamagi, for both words and emotion.

Rattle & Roar by Skinny Lister – SHINO.

Call You Friend by Oysterband – Shino and Eugene's friendship, among others.

Skin and Bones by Cage The Elephant – Ride, post series. Poor sod.

The Road You Didn't Take by Stornoway – Gaelio, also post series. Poor sod.

Fall Together by Thea Gilmore – Almiria, again post series. Poor everyone else.

(I am collecting character songs in advance of doing that tedious thing of quoting relevant lines at the end of chapters, so this list will likely be expanded later. In the meantime, if you have happened to swing over to my Ao3, I should note that Major Iverson’s song is Fight for Me by AlicebanD. You’ll know why.)

The OC ask Succubus whispers in your ear: When was your OC's first time? How did it go down? Were they satisfied with the experience? How soon before they wanted to have sex again? How soon before they got to?

okay so I’ll put this below a cut because it’s nsfw (though not graphic or explicit), but I’m going to talk about Amethyst Andrews and Kirsty Gilmore (in piece by piece)!

(TW: sexual content, references to past non-con and underage sex)

So Amy... oof poor Amy, let’s put it that way... Amy was failed by a lot of adults in her life, especially in the Serpents.  There were a few who’d always looked out for her, but the vast majority (led by Tall Boy) had absolutely no problem with manipulating a traumatized child and making her believe that her place in the Serpents was entirely contingent on her being “useful” and her only use was as a sexual object.  Her first time, thankfully, was with Sweet Pea and Toni though.  All three were too young but it came about because Amy was well aware that some of the adults were going to expect sex from her and she wanted her first time to at least be with people that actually liked her.  It wasn’t bad, but it was awkward and fumbling and Amy didn’t particularly enjoy herself.

As for wanting to have sex again... that’s very complicated for her... Amy is ace, and has very little real interest in having sex (especially back then) but her understanding of the world is basically “I’m only useful to people if I put out and no one will love me if I’m not useful”, so although she consents and often initiates, I’m not sure she’s ever had sex because she’s actually genuinely wanted to. (note: none of the ot6 know that amy doesn’t actually want to have sex and once they find out they’re all horrified that they’ve made her think that they wouldn’t still love her without sex!!!  they do not mean to make her feel pressured or obliged and they love her no matter what!!! they’re just all traumatized kids who can’t communicate).  As for how long before she has sex again... probably a couple of months with her actual partners, but it’s a week or two at most before she’s coerced into sleeping with some of the older serpents

Kirsty on the other hand, had a very different experience!  The first time Kirsty has sex is with Jess, the day they reunite in New York!  They spent the day together before Kirsty went to her rehearsal, but at the end of the night Jess met her outside of the theatre to walk her home and when Kirsty admits to how lonely/impersonal her hotel room feels, Jess invites her to crash at his place instead!  His roommates both work nights so they have the apartment to themselves, and neither of them were planning for anything to happen, but it did.  They were safe (Kirsty is the result of a teen pregnancy and has been on birth control since she was 12, Luke gave Jess a very awkward Talk™ that stressed the importance of condoms and he’s had one in his wallet ever since) and Kirsty was pleasantly surprised, to say the least.  

Kirsty’s understanding of sex has always been a mix of “it hurts but it feels good eventually” and being moderately traumatized by Miss Patty and Babette’s stories, so she was very insistent that she was fine despite being in pain (“I have a high pain tolerance, Jess, I’ve hyperextended both of my knees, I can handle sex”) but Jess is just like “um??? if it doesn’t feel good then clearly this isn’t working and it’s my job to fix that”.  It ends up being a really enjoyable experience and while she’s not surprised by Jess being considerate, she is surprised that there was no “grin and bear it til it feels good” required.  As for wanting to/having sex again, it’s a while!  On one hand, she had a good time and Jess is one of her closest friends, and it’s not that she’s not interested, but they haven’t really defined their relationship and she’s got her Broadway debut to worry about and neither of them really knows how to talk about their feelings, so they don’t pretend that it didn’t happen but neither of them really broaches the topic of a repeat for a long time!

Brotp meme: Richie & Kirsty?

im tired of all these askmemes being for otps tbh

so leave a brotp/platonic ship in my ask and i'll tell you:

who steals french fries off the other's plate: Richie, but partly so it looks like Kirsty ate them and doesn’t appear rude.

who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they're a couple: neither

who has to bust or bail the other out of jail: Richie’s baling Kirsty out.

who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues:At certain points, they’ve both given each other advice.

who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other's eyes: yes

who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk: i feel like both?

who starts and who wins the pillow fights: They both start, Kirsty usally wins because Richie doesn’t want to risk hurting her.

who says "your pants would look better on their floor" to the other's potential crush: Kirsty has the personality but I don’t know if she’d actually say it?

The Delicate-Verse children (ft. Kirsty Gilmore, Troy Donahue-Callisto, and @the-witching-ash's Richie Gilmore) x, x

Victoria Patricia & Lucas Richard Donahue*-Mariano / Donahue-Dugray: Kirsty's firstborn children, either with Jess (Piece By Piece) or Tristan (My Way) — Victoria is named after her uncle (Richard Victor) and Kirsty's Cats character, as well as Miss Patty, and Lucas is named after his grandpa Luke and his Uncle Richie

Charlotte Kirsty & Odette Rae Donahue-Callisto: Richie & Troy's (& Harry's) twin daughters (biologically Troy's with Kirsty as the surrogate) — Charlotte is named after her grandma Lottie and her Aunt Kirsty, Odette is named after Swan Lake (in honour of her Aunt Kirsty), and her aunt (Kirsty Rae)

Clara Leigh & Eric Troy Donahue-Danes / Donahue-Dugray-Huntzberger: Two of Kirsty's triplets with Jess or Tristan & Logan — Clara is named after the Nutcracker and her aunt Rory (Lorelai Leigh), Eric is named after the Nutcracker (specifically Barbie Nutcracker where the prince is named Eric) and his Uncle Troy. In Piece-Verse, Kirsty and Jess decided that their relationships with their respective biological parents is questionable enough that they'd rather pass on Luke's name, hence Danes

Jessica Mia Donahue-Dugray-Huntzberger: Kirsty's third triplet, specifically with Tristan & Logan — she's named after her Uncle Jess as well as her almost-grandma Mia

Jenna Mia Donahue-Danes: Kirsty's third triplet, specifically with Jess — she's named after Jenna from Waitress as well as her almost-grandma Mia

*Kirsty changes her last name to Donahue, typically in Yale but in Piece-Verce she changes it before the twins are born because she would rather they inherit Lottie's name than Lorelai's
