#the compliments -- 'hello beautiful' -- clued her in very early on that he was trying to win her over

one last bg3/amity thought for the night --

it is so goddamn funny thinking about how astarion admits he set out to seduce the player character specifically to win their trust and their protection, with amity in mind.

like... congrats, my man. you picked the one person in the party that would have died for you immediately. from the moment you met. even after putting a knife to her throat. you could've attained the same result by doing absolutely fuck all; you did not have to do All That.

but you did. and now you've caught feelings. ya fool.

#amity just Does That. throws herself into danger for any ol joe shmoe who needs help. #she's made friends with people who have tried to kill her before it's nbd #she even employs some of them. they do good work. #plus. she is most often aware of when people are trying to manipulate her. #her insight seems quite low but that's because she deliberately chooses to take people at face value #if they say they mean no harm she will believe that even if she sees the knife flash behind their back. #she'll just also... be poised to kick some ribs if they decide to go against their words. #with astarion........ #the compliments -- 'hello beautiful' -- clued her in very early on that he was trying to win her over #bc. due to past experiences. she cannot conceptualize that being true. heard the opposite of that... a lot as a baby tiefling #so he tried to win over someone who was already won over and manipulate someone who was keenly aware he was trying to manipulate her #but who also went along with it anyway #amity: it's so sad that people dance around the matter when they want my help #amity: i wish they understood that i would help them without all the rigamarole :( #amity tag
