I'm polyam irl and Astarion strikes me as the type of person, who'd genuinely think they are fine with poly but would end up single and crying in three months - probably without ever recognizing what went wrong. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth to be poly with a character who canonically has issues recognizing his boundaries (let alone being in his first actual romantic relationship). It's not just irl biases when people don't like the Halsin-Astarion-tav relationship.

If that's your take on his character, have at it, but if you don't trust him setting his own boundaries in relationships then I hope you don't romance him at all. If he can't actually consent to being in a polyam relationship, if his genuine (literally the word used in the devnote regarding the Halsin discussion) excitement can't be taken at face value, he can't consent to anything else either.

#im not gonna tell anyone theyre wrong for not liking the polyam options in game #i am going to side eye you for bringing up astarions trauma as if that bars him from giving informed consent #which he does in the game. repeatedly

"steddie this" "stonathan that" have you ever considered that steve harrington has two hands????

#literally why fight when you can choose the polyam option #steddithan my beloved istg #they're boyfriends #the three of them #this is def not bc i kin steve and i want to see him happy #stonathan #steddie #steddiethan #steve harrington #jonathan byers #eddie munson #stranger things

[rouge-the-bat]

#saw this posted by a polyphobe who somehow thought this was a burn lmao #but they didnt make this meme so i just snatched it somewhere else and sharing it bc its great #anyways *shares crackers with my fellow polyam people* *gives option of various dips as well and perhaps some meats n cheeses* #polyam #polyamory #polyam memes #im poly and i DO want a cracker

oh also shoutout to iwatex for having dating/relationship routes with an ace character and an aro character.

#get cubed idiot #ALSO a highly customizable PC gender #ALSO canonically trans and nonbinary characters #ALSO polyam routes (dys+sym and marz+rex) #but like. it’s a Dating Sim type game. there’s a big focus on romance. aspec rep thts handled well is extra relevant #srsly i love the way iwatex does pronouns. the ‘princess’ custom option makes me so happy #(it’s called ‘princess’ in the code it’s not me being snarky)

[spoolesofthread]

so much of the bg3 fandom hates polyamorous people with such vitriol it’s unreal

#genuinely fucking shocking the shit you see people say about the polyam options in this game #caveat that i don’t interact w the fandom on here and only unwillingly on twitter so this is largely twt influenced but still #sadie speaks

[animalpetcel]

After years of Hellagur being my main blorbo yet having no ship bc no one is good enough for him...I am at an impasse

Me, wanting old man dilf yaoi of Harold x Hellagur vs Me really wanting to meet Harold's wife and respect his marriage

#arknights #polyam shipping or shipping them as an old fling is still an option #there's also Neon's bio-dad..... #I just want only the best for Hellagur.... #of course our first currently married operator and he as a connection to Hellagur my luck aaaa

[chapst1ckmcdyke]

Im abt ready to delete all dating apps forever 😤

#i had my first date in a whole year #the asshole waits till the last 45 min to tell me theyre polyam #tries to say it wont work out maybe so they can try and keep their options open #they then text me 2 days later saying their partner doesnt want them to date anyway #AFTER TAKING ME ON A WHOLE ASS DINNER DATE WHERE THEY PICKED ME UP #but if id still wanna be fwb #when i said politley i dont think we should see each other again they LIED and said they told me they were in a relationship #i went through the messages they fucking did not #now all i get are 19 y/o polyam kids who want a fuck buddy!! #my bio explicitly says monogamy only bc this shit keeps happening! #and weird women keep making unnerving comments abt my body and confidence??? #how the fuck am i supposed to find the love of my life like this??? #im gunna fuckin LOSE IT

[runeberry]

The only problem with playing bg3 as a canonically polyam Tav/MC is so many of the romance paths are monogamous only

Also known as Halsin is hitting on Phaedra and they're very open to it but Gale is not 😔

#i appreciate the option is there and i appreciate larian for offering different romances #but none of the canonical polyam relationships have worked for phae or scylla lmao #and while Triste is soooorta open bc her work she's territorial in an actual relationship lol #rune plays bg3

[waterdeepthroat]

Hi! Can I just say thank you for not jumping down my throat in your tags on my post for expressing my desire for monogamous Halsin? It hasn't yet happened to me personally but I've seen some people like me getting absolutely torn to shreds by others for simply wanting another option. It's sad to say that I'm so used to hostility in fandoms that civil discussion is surprising and appreciated, but it's true. Thanks <3

yeah ofc! i’m a pretty firm believer in “to each their own”. and much as i love halsin, there’s a lot i’d have done differently with him

#there’s so many different ways to be polyam so it was super disappointing for there only to be the one option with him #bg3 #halsin #asks

Autisticbones' SWTOR character list

this post is where i keep track of (most of) the characters who appear in my SWTOR-verse in various roles and some basic info about them, although it's far from comprehensive. i edit periodically to add updates, which can include anything from photo changes to adding entire new characters to adding this blurb and the read more button below it bc this post is getting so long it was making my blog difficult to navigate. i'm always down to answer questions about any of my characters, i don't bite! thanks for hanging out!

[last updated 03/17/24]

the Friss legacy

Jedi Knight - Elara Friss

they/them

Age at start of class story: 23

Height: 5'10

Sexuality: Bi ace polyam

Combat style: Sentinel

Lightsaber colour: Green and amethyst. In-game, these are their main and offhand colours, but in my canon they're left-handed and therefore the amethyst is their main colour.

Elara starts out as upstanding Jedi, a bit of a goody-two-shoes type, but the war wears them down. They start to get weirder as they figure themselves out, eventually finding themselves in a leadership position they never wanted but can't deny they're good at. Every so often someone around the base on Odessen finds themselves deeply startled to hear them let out a string of expletives when their datapad glitches out or they drop whatever they're carrying, because the Alliance Commander, Jedi Battlemaster, Hero of Tython, every public persona they've ever worn, does not swear, but Elara Friss sure fuckin does.

In a semi-closed quad with Doc, Theron, and Lana.

i did not know any swtor lore when i started and discovered later that elara dorne exists and thought it was hilarious

Jedi Consular - Aethrii Talera

she/her

Age at start of class story: 19

Height: 5'2

Sexuality: Aroace

Combat style: Guardian

Lightsaber colour: Green, white-blue-purple

Aethrii is serene and stubborn, accustomed to being underestimated due to her age and size. Her enemies often regard the calm certainty she emanates as Jedi foolishness, and she uses their overconfidence to her advantage. She developed a couple of motor tics as a side effect of Force-shielding several Jedi Masters from Vivicar's plague, which occasionally make it difficult for her to use her lightsaber or move with the agility required in combat, and in those moments she calls on her companions to protect her while she focuses on telekinetic defenses.

Aethrii and Elara have known each other since they were 15 and 18, when Elara arrived at the enclave Aethrii was raised in.

Smuggler - Te'vrila Sohnn

she/they

Age at start of class story: 27

Height: 5'7

Sexuality: Demiromantic, bisexual

Combat style: Gunslinger

Pure of heart, dumb of ass. Te'vrila started out as a properly legal freighter pilot, flying cargo in the Bantha's Bounty, but fell into smuggling when money got tight, just trying to get the job done and make a living without getting too tangled up in the process. Instead, she failed upward spectacularly, taking down the Voidwolf and stealing his underworld throne.

Meets Sav in a business deal, eventually starts seeing xem romantically during the Zakuulan occupation.

Sith Warrior - Virinistra Thul

she/her

Age at start of class story: 24

Height: 6'3

Sexuality: Bisexual

Combat style: Juggernaut

Lightsaber colour: Red

The daughter of lower Thul nobility who joined the Imperial military, Virinistra had a comfortable upbringing on Dromund Kaas. She presents a physically imposing figure, but is often presumed to operate on pure brute force, leading to her opponents' downfall.

Sith Inquisitor - Sav'eera Lenneji Kallig

she/they/xe/xem

Age at start of class story: 23

Height: 5'4

Sexuality: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sapphic of some sort

Combat style: Assassin

Lightsaber colour: Purple (specifically the colour of the high roller saberstaff with an open colour crystal); sometimes red or yellow.

Sav'eera is vibrant and unapologetic, impulsive and unambiguous. They're out to raise the dead for a midnight snack. She's not cruel, most of the time - but she is ruthless. Xe has a soft spot for Ashara, and sometimes ends up making choices xe'd rather not because of it.

Flirted with Andronikos as banter, had a few flings, dated Lana up until Manaan, ultimately ends up asking out Te'vrila after they've made a few deals trading in Sith artifacts.

Imperial Agent - Danestri Avela

they/she

Age at start of class story: 24

Height: 5'6

Sexuality: Bi, greyromantic

Combat style: Operative

Danestri joined the Imperial Military Academy on Dromund Kaas when they were 15, looking for an escape from the life of watching her mother barely make ends meet for years. They excelled and went into medical courses, only to be abruptly recruited to Intelligence at the end of their third year of medic training. Most of her squadmates assume she dropped out. One or two swapped her name into the old ghost story of Intelligence recruiting that upper-years always told to scare the freshmen, despite genuinely believing it to be no more than a story.

Married to Vector and partnered with Shara (formerly Watcher Two/Keeper). The rest of her crew knows about Vector but only Vector knows about Shara.

Trooper - Vedru Cresik

he/they

Age at start of class story: 26

Height: 5'11

Sexuality: Bisexual

Combat style: Gunslinger

Having grown up on Coruscant with his moms and sisters, Vedru joined the army wanting to make a difference. Havoc Squad threw them for a loop, and they've had to reevaluate how they can still pull that off.

He and Aric and Elara are all flirting obliviously with each other and haven't figured it out yet.

Bounty Hunter - Kestrala Mevos

does not care (any pronouns)

Age at start of class story: 25

Height: 5'3

Sexuality: fuck your labels doesn't know, doesn't care (gender: Butch Bitch)

Combat style: Powertech

Kes is just here to kick ass and take credits, she doesn't like the spotlight too much. Has worked for the Voidwolf, and continues to take jobs for the Voidhound.

Extra - Kyelasi Tirje

she/they

Age at start of class story: 18

Height: 5'5

Sexuality: demiromantic, grey-ace

Combat style: Marauder

Kyelasi was Zash's apprentice immediately prior to Sav'eera, and she was granted independence as a Sith Lord to allow Zash to seek out Sav. They're about a year older than Sav, and the two become acquainted throughout Sav's run of the class story, bonding over being alien Sith and also over having similar research interests.

Toma Haskren

she/her

Age at start of class story: 12

Height: 5'3

Combat style: Marauder

Lightsaber colour: Red

Toma is Danestri's estranged half-sister. They were quite close as children, but Toma was sent off to the Sith quite young and Danestri was erroneously told that she did not survive her final trials on Korriban, while Toma came to believe that Danestri should have rescued or protected her from the Sith and has grown to resent her for it.

[perenlop]

ik ik its reddit its full of shitty people but one of the most bizarre things ive seen on there is the narrative that polyamorous people inherently make bad parents because “they love fucking other people more than their children” and in many of the “receipts” the op will literally be like “oh they told me they were polyam and i found it soooo weird and off putting and THEN i remembered them leaving the house multiple times and realized it was to be sexually deviant wow so i was actually NEGLECTED this whole time”

most stories on aita or whatever are fake lbr. so this just reeks of “this doesnt fit the nuclear family dynamic so its disgusting and im gonna do whatever i can to make it seem as immoral as possible”

idk just another thing you gotta keep in mind when people are “coming forwards” with stories on a site known for pushing bigoted beliefs

#and im not saying its impossible for polyam parents to be neglectful or shitty #its that insisting they inherently are is weirs #literally. any kind of parent can be shitty and neglectful its not inherent to sexuality or polyamory #it reminds me of this post that was like ‘’lesbians and bi women are hated bc theyre seen as taking charge of their own sexuality ans daring #to see men as an option or not one at all instead of the rule’’ when they go ‘’its bc they love ONLY fucking and not any pure love’’ #also overly sexualizing them #idk its like ‘’these people dare to defy the status quo im gonna make them sound as outrageous as possible #echoed voice
