I Need An Artist To Draw Astarion With Neil Newbon's Tattoos. I Just Think It Would Be Neat.

I think it's interesting how Astarion only calls tav/durge "dear" or "dearest" when he's upset with them. If you kill Isobel as the dark urge, he gets annoyed and says "sometimes we need to think with our heads before our knives, dear." There are other examples, I just can't think of them right now.

It may or may not mean anything, I just think it's an interesting bit of characterization and I fully imagine this tendency continuing.

"You were supposed to wash the dishes last night, dear."

I need someone to do a video essay-length deep dive into how 75% of the BG3 fandom fell so hard for Astarion's manipulative seductor act that they believe that's his actual personality. This man has to practice his lines and still fumbles them constantly. He flat-out says it's all a front because he believes his sex appeal is the only reason anyone would keep him around, which is tragic. When he drops the act, he becomes this kind of silly man rediscovering what it means to be himself, and what it means to both love and be loved. He says "I'm all pointy ears, love." while turning his head to show off those pointy ears. Let him be silly, let him be awkward! It's so much more authentic then him being a walking innuendo.

He has a mid charisma stat with a bonus for deception and rolled a nat 20 on all y'all.

I know Larian has said that there won't be a bg4, but imagine a game with a grown up Arabella, now fully able to use her powers, and a grown up Mol, the leader of the Thieves Guild. Maybe even a grown up Fig who's become a fearsome fighter.

hey can we stop with the whole "astarion walking into the sunlight after tav dies" thing? did you miss the whole "astarion wants to be independent and self-sufficient" thing? the whole point of his storyline is him learning to live as a free man, to not tie his identity or life to that of another. yes astarion would grieve tav after they've passed, and if you want to write/draw that wonderful angst go for it. but for the love of god, please consider that astarion is not only a vampire but an elf. outliving the people he loves was a given from the very beginning. he would not kill himself because tav died.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
