I LOVE LYCANTHROPY AS A METAPHOR FOR TRANSSEXUALITY GRAHHHHH

May I share with you a comic I made some years ago on this topic?

lord forgive me for the things i’ve said and thought about this man made of pixels

i am in the mood to read some REAL good astarion work. if you’ve seen anything that has taken you aback recently then do send it my way!

So many things I could recommend but here are a few for OP and my followers!

Any of @wilteddreamsofbaldursgate’s work — it’s so poetic I want to cry. My personal fav is this one that perfectly capture’s Astarion’s thoughts and feelings realization over time. It’s on her old blog so be sure to follow her new one. But tbh it’s a damn shame that doesn’t have more notes.

@azukiel has a long fic, Nightfall Heir, that I adore and has just recently been updated. I was waiting patiently/impatiently for their return and I’m so glad they picked up the proverbial pen again! Very well done Astarion/Halsin/Tav dynamic.

@tallymonster’s Memories of Us AU — I’m not normally an AU lover but this one got me hooked. She also recently wrote an AU piece based on webcam sex and that was honestly so unique!

@vixstarria can’t do anything wrong tbh. Her Night at the Inn pieces are top tier smut but my personal fav of hers is this fluff one about Astarion feelings realization and his nice simple plan falling apart. Her pieces contain so many humorous bits and are a delight to read.

The entire Whither series by @brabblesblog — redemption AA is a weakness of mine and she does this well. She characterizes AA and his motivations perfectly. I also love muscle mommy Ban with my whole heart.

Any of @tragedybunny’s work — she’s an OG. You might recognize her moonblood fic because it’s basically a cult classic now. I haven’t read it yet but I know her AA fic is going to slap. I’ve seen enough teasers to be certain. And it’s second on my to be read long fic list!

First on my TBR long fic list is @leomonae’s one featuring illithid. I have to say I’m intrigued by the dynamic and I plan to start the fic tonight/tomorrow! Her writing style is wonderful, she explores interesting dynamics, and her lore is on point. Plus her OneShot Shalt Be Thrust Down to Hell rewired my brain and sent me on a Astarion/Raphael rabbit hole.

Which lead me to Palmarosa by the spectaclesofthor, a long fic with an Astarion/Raphael pairing. Heavy stuff but honestly so fascinating.

And there you go!

Oh gosh, thank you for the shout out. 🙈

Some additions from me; they're not recent but they've been living in my head ever since I read them, and served as inspiration to start writing:

I Want It All by @shenanigans-and-imagines - 3 parts, Astarion x Ace!Tav. Very sweet and just beautiful all round.

Aaaand on the other end of the horny spectrum:

Spittle by @thebigbiwolf - 2 parts, Astarion x F!Tav. Smut, aphrodisiacs, overstimulation, all the good stuff. Definitely inspired some of my own writing.

If it keeps you from killing yourself it's not stupid. This applies to anything btw.

Got a doctor's appointment tomorrow to address my chronic fatigue and hopefully get tested for pots

Was barely able to get out of bed this morning and I look like I got hit by a bus because I got ONE less hour of sleep than usual so I'm really excited for this appointment

Getting my first ever sleep study done this month to confirm central sleep apnea let's MF go???

I don't have sleep apnea. I'm just having panic attacks in my sleep every other night lol

i dont hate you guys i swear i just have really shitty memory

There's no reason for any character to be a cop like was Nancy Drew a cop? Naur she was just nosy as hell and I respect that

Was Scooby and the gang ringing up the police?? No bc Fred and Shaggy were dodging the draft

Playing pokemon today and had a nice little picnic and I left it running for 5 minutes when I went to pee, and I came back to 6 fucking eggs in my basket. This is my party.

They are all male except my goddamn houndoom. I have 6 houndour eggs from when I looked away for a couple of minutes, and as someone with no idea about egg groups I have no idea who the father is.

Slut Shame Her.

tragic. they found an angel stcuk tangled in the telephone wires outsside your house. sorruy. yeah we dont know how to get it out cus anyone who approached the divine light of their holy aura got obliterated. yeah we forgot their names. it'll probably get free sooner or later. dont go outside

interesting point! lets not stare at it for too long okay!!
