Re the blood glucose comment on the last ask: I've been diabetic for over twenty years, and I've wondered whether diabetes exists in Faerûn but only magic works as a temporary fix. So if the party runs out of healing spells and Tav's blood sugar spikes, what if Astarion feeds on her to help bring her blood sugar down? What if he drinks his fill and afterwards it takes less time for her to recover because now her blood sugar is normal instead of low after the blood loss?
But that also opens up opportunities for angst, too. What if her blood sugar's low, but he hasn't eaten in days and she can tell he's trying so hard not to say anything? What if she has an invincibility complex, thinks "I'll be fine," and lets him drink without telling him? What if he can no longer feel her trembling in his arms as he feeds, pulls back, and suddenly realizes just how pale, sweaty, and absolutely frozen she is, practically paralyzed because there's no glucose fueling her ability to move? Grabs Shadowheart to tend to her because his guilt has in turn paralyzed him?
Anyway, I've had some thoughts about this.
Ohhhh bloodletting for hyperglycemia. I can see this being a thing in Faerûn! Definitely a thing between a diabetic Tav and Astarion.
Also I've seen people go into hypoglycemic episodes before, so I can envision exactly what Tav with low glucose would be like.
I once gave a patient an entire amp of D50 for a glucose of like 38 (they were somehow still conscious). Their sugar shot up to like 500ish, only to come back down to 40 like 15 minutes later (this tends to happen with IV glucose; the sugar burns through you so fast because your body is basically starved of it). Nodding out, slurring; the whole nine. I think we found out they gave themselves their regular dose of long acting insulin the night before alongside their reg morning insulin without having eaten breakfast that morning. Shit is scary.
Diabetic Tav seems interesting to play with, though 🤔

What about some seductive Astarion?

I’m obsessed with girl-dad Astarion. His dramatic, over the top self would be the BEST dad to a little girl. He’d play dress up with her, occasionally letting her wear his own expensive pieces. Maybe she likes a jewelry piece that papa let her wear, so much, that he gifts it to her for her birthday. He sits with her for her tea parties. You bake them little tea cakes and steep the tea for them, because getting to watch on and occasionally join in their shenanigans is reward enough. They wear the most outlandish outfits they can find (baby Ancunin having picked out her fathers get-up), and he teaches her tea party etiquette
“Yes good, pinky out darling”
“Cross your legs dear, and no elbows on the table.”
“Mmhm, compliment the hostess even if she did burn the bottoms of the cakes.”
He gets a towel thrown at him for that last one, much to your baby girls delight.

I blame your post about your French Patreon.
Okay. What if -- and hear me out -- what if Astarion was the same in every other respect. But he has a French accent and not a British one. Also maybe he has the little mustache, too.
What happens?
i blow him up instantly when i see him on the beach but i buy a beret as soon as i get to baldur's gate in his honor
#baldur's gate 3#bg3#astarion ancunín#aevallare#sliding into the ask box#listen#when alex posts about her patreon having turned french for some reason#my brain decides to turn that into a scenario#and in this case the scenario was astarion saying hon hon hon oui oui baguette with a stupid smarmy french accent#i am absolutely not sorry

Astarion likes missionary sex. Likes being able to see his love’s face and the way their body reacts to his.
He loves being able to lace his fingers with theirs, and press their hands to the mattress. It grounds him just as much as the steady eye contact does. Doesn’t matter if he has to coax them into it, murmuring “eyes on me, darling” as he rolls his hips into theirs.
He loves the way he can hold them close to his chest as he comes with their thighs wrapped around him, completely engulfed in one another.
Yeah, remember when I said I'd wait until the evening of May 1?
I lied.
KENOBIIIIIIIII!
As much as I love that this ask cleared out an ask box full of cobwebs, this blog is getting one HECK of a revamp once I finish my Master's degree.
To everyone who followed this blog for Star Wars purposes -- sigh. You're. You're about to adore me or absolutely abhor me. You're about to get spammed with so much content that you did NOT sign up for from a blog you thought was long dead and buried.
You have until the evening of May 1. After that -- don't say I didn't warn you.

These are tracks off my "currently on repeat" playlist!

I wish the books had dealt with Leia’s anger more. Vader turned and Luke forgave him. Her father was a monster. He had hurt her. She was more like him than the mother she had heard stories of growing up. She would know who Padme had been and see her in Luke. Her brother forgave her father. He had hurt their mother. Leia was high up enough in the New Republic to find any medical records that had existed. Her brother said that there was good in him. Her mother had said the same. But her brother was missing a hand and she was missing a people. Her mother had died of a broken heart with swelling still present on her neck that would have bruised with more time. Her father killed the emperor. She would have done the same if she could have, stopping at nothing until the evil was gone from the worlds. Her father killed children because someone promised that the people he loved would be safe. Leia would have looked at her brother, her husband, her son, she wouldn’t have known what she would have done to protect them. Her father held her against her chest while her home burned. When she looked in the mirror she saw his face staring back at her. She pretended she didn’t. She named her son for the man she wished had been her father.
