This Probably Wont Make Sense To Those Who Havent Read The Percy Jackson Books But Tav (my Tav Specifically)

This probably won’t make sense to those who haven’t read the Percy jackson books but tav (my tav specifically) and astarions relationship reminds me a lot of Percy and Annabeths relationship. Tav is Percy, loyal to a fault, falls first, believes fully in their friends and would be more than willing to die to protect others, is smart but comes off as goofy to others, strong moral compass. And Astarion is Annabeth, headstrong, stand-off-ish, brutally honest, comes off as very confident and sure of themself but is still very much learning who they are, always has a smart quip or banter ready for tav/percy, through their friendship and eventual relationship becomes softer and more open to others. Plus I can just really see Astarion saying the ‘you drool in your sleep’ line. Plus the dialogue when you lose magic and Astarion makes the comment about getting it back and my tav responded with the option to tease him back and it reminded me so much of some of the banter Percy and Annabeth have in the first book.

Anyway, I love these fictional little idiots.

I am so tired of asexuals being boxed into the "sweet naive child not needs to be shielded away from sex"

what I am trying to say with poll is that Allosexual (a term for non asexual people) if you meet someone who is asexual don't just atomatically assume they are sex repulsed instead ask if you are shy here is a prompt

"hey I noticed that in your bio you said are asexual/on the ace spectrum and I just want to know what are comfortable with before I send you risky memes/jokes I want to honor your boundaries as a friend because I respect you. I am only asking this because I myself am not asexual but I realize that is is a very broad spectrum and want make sure I don't make you uncomfortable by maybe sending risky memes about character we both like"

Tav: “good cat/bad cat of the tenday” where they rate how morally corrupt each companion has acted over each tenday of their journey. Good cat is almost always given to Wyll and Karlach. Astarion has at least one ‘bad cat: he bit me real hard’ and Gale, Shadowheart, Astarion and Lae’zel all have a ‘bad cat: they tried to ascend to godhood’

Redeemed Durge: “what I think my friends bodies would taste like and why I choose NOT to eat them” has the quote from the owl bear about not eating them cause they’re friends with a drawing of the owl bear with a little arrow that says ‘me’. Each slide is a companion and all the reasons durge likes them. Is actually kinda sweet if you ignore the ‘my urge tells me to eat you all’ bit.

Evil durge: “why cannibalism is actually really cool and I should be allowed at least one killing of innocents a day.” It’s just unhinged rambling about eating people and killing. Some stickfigure art of dead bodies with crossed out eyes with lots of blood and guts and a smiling stickfigure durge.

Anyway, here are my thoughts about what each of the companions would present on if they had to give the rest of the party a PowerPoint presentation:

Gale: A completely accurate and detailed lecture regarding the theories of teleportation magic, how it works, and the differences between it and plane shift. There are multiple charts and graphs.

Wyll: “Choosing your hero name: an adventurer’s guide” He does have suggestions for the entire party.

Karlach: “Ranking bars in the gate based on how much they remind me of Avernus.” She has provided illustrations that she made herself. Anything in the Upper City is ranked “like Avernus” because “occupied entirely by pricks.”

Shadowheart: “So I was wrong about Shar: a reluctant apology.” It’s mostly a debunk of Shar’s lies but the entire time it does look like she is pulling teeth. However, she cheers up considerably when she presents on some of the church’s secrets, including the weird ass code names for things that she always thought were a little silly.

Lae’zel: a very educational and complete history of her people’s war against the mind flayers. It’s all rather academic until the last slide which says “AND THIS IS WHY WE DON’T EAT THE WORMS” in all caps.

Astarion: “Ranking you by whose blood I’d want to drink most.” In order, it is as follows Gale (rancid), Karlach (spicy), Minthara (probably is poisonous after all the poison she’s been exposed to), Jaheria (that story about what she did to one of the spawn was memorable), Shadowheart (does cleric blood taste radiant?), Lae’zel (curious how Gith taste, doesn’t want to die), Minsc (large and has extra blood to spare), Halsin (can turn into a bear, think of all that real estate), Wyll (canon verified snack)

Halsin: “Foraging: what’s edible and what isn’t” Gale takes very dutiful notes given someone gave him a mushroom two ten days ago that gave the entire camp food poisoning. Astarion, the only one who did not get food poisoning, who has completely forgotten what he foraged was the culprit, takes 0 notes.

Minthara: Battle orders and tactics. All of these fools need to get whipped into shape.

Jaheria: “Get it Fucking Together: Stop Doing this Shit.” What follows is a callout of everyone’s worst habits and decisions. One slide just says “stop snitching.”

Minsc: it’s just pictures of Boo.

Astarion in love is the type of lover that if he accidentally tickles you when he’s running his hands over you he is fully going to use it to his advantage and tease you and start a tickle war half way through having sex. Only stopping his tickle attack once he can tell you are laughing so had that you are wheeze-laughing and then just has this huge goofy grinch smile on his face and he chuckles and kisses your nose.

Give me goofy sex Astarion, he deserves to be goofy and laugh with his love.

One of the reasons I have a hard time reading astarion smut is that you can't convince me spawn act3 would be a serious lover with dirty talk and whatever. That he'd do all the SmutFic.mp4 lines where if you Ctrl+f his name and replace it with another characters it would still make sense.

He'd be having fun. He'd be laughing. He'd be a goofball. We've all seen what love does to this bastard. It amps up his silliness. The man who says "Delicious!" in that way after a kiss. He spent such a long time saying all the perfect words and doing the perfect moves to min/max it all. No. The man is in love for the first time. He is going to have fun, he's going to be present, and he's not gonna rush any of it. Send tweet.

I need Neil Newbon to come to Australia. Idk how to make that happen but I wanna meet him but I’m too broke to travel to another country to do that.

I never thought of it that way, I grew up Christian so I’m still very new to the journey of discovering paganism and what it means to me.

Ok question for the witch/pagan side of tumblr. So you know how god-spouses are a thing some people believe in. Is there a parent/child version of that? Like is there such thing as a type of practice where the devotee sees their god as their parent/ god sees the devotee as a child? Like surely that a thing that at least someone does. I just had the thought the other day and couldn’t find anything through googling it and wondered is any more experienced witches/pagans who have heard of something like that.
