Oh god you like TF and Astarion I didn't think I could find someone who shares both my interests at once (sorry im on anon, I do have a sideblog, well, here *vaguely motions at snzblr* but im new and still really shy)
But like
If you have any more Thoughts about the Him
I would be very 👀👀 about it
WELCOME!!! I’m new here too! I get so hyped when someone else shares multiple of my interests, and I wouldn’t think bg/3 and tf would have much overlap, let alone on snzblr :0
I definitely do have more Astar/ion thoughts, both snz and “””normal”””
I’m struggling atm with trying to write a proper sickfic for this man, here’s a compilation of headcanons and scenarios in the meantime since I don’t think they’re worthy of their own posts. *sweeping the DnD vampire lore under the rug*
Potential SPOILERS! + Angsty stuff
-Astarion getting a bit too cocky, thinking that because the tadpole negates some of his vampire related weaknesses and lets him daywalk, he doesn’t have to worry about those things AT ALL anymore… and of course he’s proven wrong.
-Maybe someone at camp is cooking with garlic or using it in some sort of alchemy and he’s surprised to find that it still sets him off, turning him into a sniveling mess, having to excuse himself through a fit of sneezes, running off to his tent or into the woods, his face absolutely streaming.
-Running water may not burn like acid anymore, but that doesn’t mean having to wade through that frigid stream won’t result in catching a cold.
-I can’t decide if sick Astarion would downplay his illness not wanting to be pitied, or exaggerate and be incredibly dramatic about it, but it’s most likely the ladder.
-He definitely complains A LOT! It’s both endearing and annoying.
“Darling, I’m feeling absolutely dreadful, I don’t think I’ll make it much longer…”
“It’s just a cold, Astarion.”
“But It’s dreadful!”
-Despite his dramatics, Astarion would need to be fairly close with Tav to actually let them get close and truly take care of him, seeing him in that state. Complaining is all well and good, but he doesn’t want to be seen looking unkempt and sickly with snot running down his face, he doesn’t want to show any real, true vulnerability.
-If Astarion does allow Tav that closeness he’ll be incredibly touched by their care, he’s not going to show it of course, but on the inside he’s melting. No one’s ever been this nice to him, Cazador certainly never treated him well when he was sick. It’s hard for him to comprehend the genuine love Tav is showing him, finding himself emotionally overwhelmed.
-Fevers make his nightmares worse. If he’s sleeping with Tav he’ll sometimes subconsciously reach out for them. They know how to comfort him by now, gently giving his hand a squeeze, spooning him, or just holding him as tight as they can if it’s a really bad night.
-Astarion being allergic to one of the animals at camp. Trying to feed on it like the bastard he is and getting a face full of feathers or fur, immediately getting launched into a sneezing fit, allowing the creature to escape.
-Maybe instead of being afraid or aggressive that particular animal ends up taking quite a liking to him…
