Fandom culture has changed so much, I honestly just don't get it anymore
It used to be absolutely normal to like morally questionable or straight up irredeemable characters, there was no "if you like a bad guy, you are agreeing with the bad guy" in my 2013
Now nearly in every fandom villain lovers are getting bullied, fandoms are busy protecting pixel's feelings, while severely hurting real people's mental health with this neverending flood of toxicity
And it genuinely upsets me, because villains and the whole concept of liking "against the good guys" characters in media/ literature/ art/ etc was always a safe space for outcasts and people who felt rejected by society, for being queer, for just being different and unable to fit in for any reason
And seeing that even inside online fandom culture villain lovers are getting nothing but this bs is heartbreaking
And all this discussion about "healthy relationship with imaginary bf" is the whole different bucket of crap that I would waffle about at some point
How these people are doing in literature classes, I mean, every other classical book has some kind of toxic love story, do they need a trigger warning for every book or something

How fandom Ascended Astarion sees his consort: Willing to cheat on her, treats her more like concubine, she is one of many and means nothing to him, she's just a nice piece of booty to have when he wants it.
How my Ascended Astarion sees his consort: *literally just this song on a loop for eternity*

I never posted this dumb comic I made to my Tumblr but here it is! I was cleaning out my phone image folders and figured I might as well share it here.
My Tav Efenity just.... being herself lmao. This was one of the first times I actually drew her. I might redraw this but make it better...

Batstarion sippies.
Sorry I'm positively smitten with all the little bat art. I wanted in on the gig.

friendly reminder that astarion fell for kindness. he started genuinely caring because of kindness. because the "fierce leader" of their group helped people, helped him. it wasn't power, it wasn't authority, it wasn't seduction, it wasn't a promise of revenge - it was kindness, selflessness, companionship. it felt wrong and it felt strange but that's what got him to fall in love (or the closest thing to it). his "nice, simple plan" of seduction and manipulation fell apart because someone was good, because someone protected and accepted him. i think that says a lot about him.

I L O V E that he gotta kneel for the BAMF shorties 🤌🏽🥴💜
you can reinterpret and headcanon all you want, but creators telling a story are not “hindering roleplay” by telling the same story they’ve always been telling. AA has been an explicitly toxic and abusive dynamic since the beginning
Yes! you're so right.
Look...
Tumblr media
at how abusive he is...
Tumblr media
So toxic...

Much abuse is happening here

I can't figure out how I missed all of this toxicity!

You seem to be lost and/or confused, my friend.
Are you familiar with the term "You'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar"? Because you should be. I'd actually be more willing to get into the spawn ending and the spawn side of the fandom, if people weren't so condescending and invalidating to AA-fans like this. What is with this holier-than-thou attitude toward anyone who doesn't agree with your personal "reinterpretation" that you believe in? Even if you genuinely think there is some overarching, "canon" ending to his story, how is it helpful to anyone (especially AA fans) to be condescending about it?
I have at least enough levels of maturity and understanding to say to you "your interpretation of the information is different from mine but still valid for your roleplay(s)". What's so hard about returning that basic level of respect?
Also....
You can't ""reinterpret"" a piece of art that is open-ended and meant to be interpreted however you want as the roleplayer (within canon logic, that is). You just interpret it however you personally do.
As far as "hindering roleplay" goes, you do realize that any time the game assumes how your character feels or what they think (on an emotional level) that it can hinder roleplay, right? Meaning, it disrupts immersion. We simply want the ability to customize the responses and experiences our characters have, just like you want to. And it's an ability we all can share (with the new modding tools coming out in the new patch).
Believe it or not, but not everyone has the same brain as you. Not everyone understands and views things the same way as you. And your way isn't the only "right" way to enjoy something. I know it's really, really hard to fathom, but I'm going to ask you to try really hard to do it.
Can you please answer this question: Why are so many anti-AA people focused on players being punished for something spawn fans don't enjoy? Why not just enjoy Spawnstarion and call it a day?
What is this responsibility you assume to "save" AA fans from our own supposed media illiteracy and misinterpretation/reinterpretation/mischaracterization/misunderstanding of AA and the romance?
What do you gain from this? No, like.... I legitimately want to know. Please reply.
And yes, to be clear, I know I'm also being snarky and condescending a bit in this reply, but I'm just matching vibes.

Ngl I feel like Larian is might make AAxTav/Durge a bit more… on the nose “aboosive” w patch 7 (as if that’s even possible after those annoying kiss reactions). I really hope I’m wrong but part of me feels like they might feed us a retcon Cazador 2.0 ending
I don't feel that way, but it's not impossible 🥴 I do think Larian is trying to stay impartial and just provide the broadest roleplay experience for all players... But if certain people *are* still working at Larian and making certain decisions, that could mean your worry could be a reality.
But the fact that the new mod tools will allow modders to customize animations and player character expressions tells me that they are really focused on the player telling their own story, and not so much the protecting some so-called narrative they're telling.
When it comes to customer feedback, I do think that Larian overall would favor the "please provide us a better roleplay experience and perhaps change some small factors that hinder roleplay" angle over the "please preserve this single narrative angle (that is entirely down to personal player interpretation and preference) you are seemingly telling with this one character, and ignore anyone who doesn't agree" angle.
But it's not a guarantee.
Being ENTIRELY honest though... I'm probably not the one to ask. This specific issue wouldn't impact me so much because I never play Durge....And if I ever do play Durge, they probably won't be paired with Astarion (unless I do a Durge AU of Efenity).
SO I will not even be able to notice/experience enough in the next patch to speak on that at all, if that does end up being the case!
