“Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep”
these are all options of minthara snapping at you for rejecting bhaal. she repeats the last part about sharing her bed every time i didn't want y'all to watch her walk away four times

Spawn before the ritual is using theatrics to hide himself. Lord Astarion feels he’s beyond that now, that’s what Neil meant. Lord Astarion is him at his worst, that doesn’t mean his “most authentic self”.

Astarion literally tells you sappy romantic things in some of his endings. Like he can be both a snarky asshole and a sap

AA cares just about status. "I have power, I have wealth, I have EVERYTHING" but also AA also doesn’t like for Tav to even mention Cazador’s name which is… interesting. I remember the dev notes that say he’s “always scared”

Lmao No this isn’t what feminism is. No wonder we’re going backwards. Also ofc “some men love and expect it”. Shows it’s just repackaged gender roles
@SirGalio
Siempre hay excepciones, la idea de que las generaciones actuales son más "progresivas" es una mentira. ¿O a poco creen que no había gente que veía mal la esclavitud en el pasado?

These are the same men who cry and foam at the mouth that women are choosing to not have children and then they go into a shooting spree
It says a lot fandom always assumes “strong and independent = masculine” 🤔 (and therefore “bad! Wrong! Not woman enough!”) yet you rarely see people whining about male characters being “too strong”

Yes. He’s playing the role of the vampire lord, he just thinks he’s above stuff such as vulnerability. He doesn’t care to hide his cruelty.

EA Wyll was actually in a relationship with Mizora yeah. He was quite different than current Wyll. He was also mostly likely older not a 17 year old kid!
Social disapproval didn't ever kill anyone Dr Stock, true, but it's driven a lot of people to take their own lives. or destroyed their health so they died of natural causes. That's when the disapproved of people aren't being actively killed by enforcers of 'social norms'.
@skarsghardy
Astarion can be both an snarky ass and romantic towards his partner especially in the spawn epilogue. For all these people scream he’s a “complex” character they just use one side of his personality to bully others
@skarsghardy
My friend over tumblr was correct: this is an un-winnable argument because at the end of the day by the nature of game design “both” Astarions are possible and yes “valid”
Ascended Astarion cycle of abuse this. Ascended Astarion devolving to worst traits that.
He's the only companion requiring you to go through so many loops and additional sidequests to even HAVE the option to not allow him to ascend, it's his true ending in my eyes
