Don’t get it twisted, I’ve always been an emotional little baby. But my art professor just sent me an email telling me she’s happy I’m in her class, she’s impressed by my work ethic, and that I’m doing good this semester. And that’s the story of how I cried for the third time today. 🥹

The grief is hitting really hard today. It’s not even been two weeks since I said goodbye to my boy and all I can think about is how lucky I was to have these moments and how much I’ll miss them.

I may write a full character study sort of thing about this someday but for now I have to share that I can’t stop thinking about how Astarion reacts to being friend zoned.
Despite the vain, narcissistic, and selfish behaviors he displays throughout the game, his reaction isn’t quite reflective of those qualities. Any other man with those character traits would probably be insulted at their advances being rejected. But more than anything, Astarion seems…relieved.
You see his greetings shift instantly. He goes from putting on the most flirtatious voice so he can call you pet names to softening his voice and calling you his “favorite traveling companion.” His tone is one of pride. Almost like he’s boasting to himself; indulging in the fact that someone is willing to call him their friend.
For so long, sex was his bargaining tool. Even when he’s cut off from Cazador’s control, he still uses it. Because for the most part…it’s all he knows. It’s the surefire thing in his repertoire that he believes he can use to win you over and guarantee his safety.
And once you show him that you care enough to take sex and romance completely off of the table just to make him more comfortable?? He takes it so quickly and so readily. You can tell that he’s been yearning for literally hundreds of years for pure companionship.
These observations have killed me ever since I went down the friendship road in one of my plays. I love romancing Astarion, truly. But being strictly friends with him hits such a special part of my soul that I wasn’t expecting it to. And it leads me to wonder exactly how much of his narcissism is essentially a trauma response; his way of toughening up in the face of unspeakable horrors. ;-;

It truly is a joy to know me because occasionally I will find a tiktok funny enough that I will send it to literally everyone I know like I’m a town crier.
Like—
Hear ye, hear ye, bitches. Meda has mandated the meme of the week. 🥳🎉👏🏻

The Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory Experience that happened in Glasgow where basically all of the marketing was AI generated is my current news hyperfixation. I literally made a whole tiktok folder dedicated to it. Because I can’t get over this whole thing.

My praise kink is so bad that I get a little rush when my history professor tells me I did a good job.

One of the wildest parts about my mother and I having experienced the same abuse is that whenever she catches me giving trauma responses, she always smacks me upside the head with shit like this.
