The past of a magistrate -bg3 astarion comic, durge, wyll, shadowheart, karlach, gale
From all the interviews or background information I've read about the character, Astarion's past is interesting to me as it shows quite well how the writers didn't always seem to agree or be sure on what kind of past they should give him and how important it should be for the game. Astarion seems to be a character with a lot of many rewritten pasts and the possibilty of him being a pretty horrible person but was supposed to be at the same time a companion you can sympathise with and being actually innocent. No wonder there are so many writing ideas for him!
Words to care - bg3 comic, Astarion
just an emotional quick one
sorry if it was too boring xD
It's raining - bg3 comic, Gale, Astarion
rain in the game would be interesting, no?
anyway
thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed!
yeah , don't know if anyone notice it but I used the face from the spongebob meme xD
I am so in love with this. Everyone's drawings reflects their personalities so much!?!?! Gale with his technical measures and guidelines. Wyll's and Karlach's are so joyful and wholesome. Shadowheart's is clean and precise. And Lae'zel's is OP!!! Love this!!!!
Another type of intimacy
People headcanon Astarion getting emotional/soft/weepy when you do nice things for him but may I present to you:
An Astarion who gets /mad/ about it. You wash his clothes for him while he's gone, and instead of being grateful, he asks you what you want out of it.
You bring him things you think he will like, extra loot, etc and of course he takes it and is ever so grateful... but his eyes narrow in suspicion and a frown tugs at his lips. He stares at the items, turning them over, wondering what's wrong with them.
Give me an Astarion who is always waiting 'for the other shoe to drop', who questions every kind thing you try to do, who accepts it but does not bask in your light- he winces, for it is too bright.
Give me Astarion learning how to trust your kindness with the same enthusiasm one would have going to the dentist to get a rotten tooth pulled without anesthetic.
Also: An Astarion that does nice stuff back not because he’s being a good person, but because he doesn’t want to be indebted to you in any way.
You washed his clothes? Well, fuck you. He’s going to stitch up that tear in your shirt and there’s nothing you can do about it. Find a different shirt while he does it.
You got him some extra loot? Well, the next time you’re in a battle, he goes for the person trying to attack you before they can hit you. You’re welcome.
He makes sure he has some ‘favor’ over you before asking to drink your blood any given time. Can’t have you doing favors for him and trying to pull it over his head later. He keeps track of who owes who like he’s collecting receipts to do taxes.
Even after he starts figuring out he can trust you, trying to balance out his ‘debt’ is a hard habit to break.
just a man who loves his cat
