ascended astarion fans as an ascended astarion fan yall need to stop debating everyone who says even the slightest joke about him‼️‼️ i promise your life will get better when you just start blocking people and just enjoying shit‼️‼️‼️ ascended astarion is a horrid little bitchboy thats why hes good (in an entertainment sense. hes still a horrid little man lol)‼️‼️‼️

#:V #bg3 #astarion #ascended astarion #you ARE allowed to like characters who are evil!!! it is actually so fun!!!!!!! if you just stop debating people over it!!!!#even tho ascended is the ''bad ending'' its still a valid ending to like.. because the game has many endings and they are all canon #in their own ways #just fucking. enjoy life dudes and start blocking people who piss you off! costs 0€!#my friends dont like ascended but i dont go around debating them because this is a fictional boy in a videogame

looking between both sides of the fandom, I think I’ll chill with the none antagonistic version with cute headcanons and sex positive vibes and not the ‘you shouldn’t even draw Astarion bottoming because his being exploited’ Shame ridden ‘everyone who likes AA needs to go therapy’ death wish side. damn, can’t even draw a man taking ownership of his past and enjoying sex without the trauma holding him down without these harpies breathing down your throat. Stop infantising the man. he fucks you on a grave merry Shelly stile as spawn and fucks you doggy as ascended no one’s forcing him to do it he initiates stop making his whole future about cazador let him fucking heal

DEADASS cazador is BEYOND dead and buried. ppl wanna go on about media literacy and then just fucking decimate any actual character or complexity astarion has post ascention to the point theyll say he isnt even *actually* astarion anymore. like yall realize how fucking cheap that is? same vibe as those cheesey "it was all a dream/coma/in their imagination" theories from the 2010s. it takes all the stakes and anything they were building in the arc and shits all over it. lame asf

so, I finished my Lae’zel origin run and it was magnificent! however, the way the crew all wound up makes me laugh bc of the dumb choices I made so here they are (spoilers below the cut:)

Shadowheart: moonmote parents & following the Selûne path, also romanced (bc duh, Shadowzel brainrot) and are happily traveling the realm and fighting off 150+ Vlaak-gith (ha) assassins, per conversation with Wyll, her kicking her shoes off and enjoying the river also made my heart happy

Wyll: Blade of Avernus changed to the Ranger class, though we did save the duke and they are both happy & proud of each other

Karlach: became a Mindflayer… which, to be fair, was what I had planned on doing bc I’ve gone the Orpheus-> Mindflayer route and wanted to change it up! on the bright side, she seems happy but sounded different

Halsin: good ole daddy Halsin, now comes with an armored Owlbear bc I misread :)

Astarion: Ascension ending, he was a bit sassy w me but that’s to be expected - I had him ascend for similar reasons re:Karlach

Gale: became the god of ambition bc I couldn’t convince him to leave the crown of Karsus behind :/

Jaheria: ready for a new adventure bc her kids make her sit around

Minsc: up to the same weird shit with Boo per usual, I’m not sure if this changes either way

Minthara: rip, I started the run before the patches where you could recruit her & Halsin

BONUS:

I had a ton of allies in the end, like I clocked over 120 hours in this run alone just to do most of the side quests… BUT I didn’t know you’d get an extra cutscene with Raphael monologuing you about the havoc Gale will wreck as a god and it was a very pleasant surprise lol. I signed his contracted and then ripped it up <3 love u still devil daddy

alsoooo, idk what all changes with the letters/newspapers in the epilogue but there were like three things that stuck out to me:

1) not a goblin, creature crawling around Elfsong is a githyanki child - made me giggle, but also I kept the egg in my inventory and nothing happened w that so idk but yall already know my feelings on Xan (I love him just to be clear)

2) invitation to the House of Grief - we obliterated the Sharrans, save Nocturne ofc, so idk what that’s about or if it’s supposed to be like a rebrand of the building? idk I’m in too deep

3) THE PICTURE OF LAE’ZEL IN THE NEWSPAPER IS SO CUTE

I should be done with playing the game for a while, now having completed two runs… but I probably won’t :)

One thing I think that's super interesting to explore is how Astarion would probably end up selling his soul to Mephistopheles anyway if he's unsupervised as the Vampire Ascendant in Canon. Or making some kind of deal. I could see Tav/Durge leaving him (or it's unromanced route) and he's super paranoid because now the person who spent all this time protecting him is no longer there and what do you mean everyone's treating him like a monster now? Why isn't everything better for him? Why is he hated and why do people want him dead?

Maybe he asks for more power or safety, or perhaps he does still feel emotions of some kind and wants them out of him so deals away the last good part of his soul. Either way, even if Larian is like oh its Canon he didn't sell his soul (wish they didn't do that yall should leave shit up to interpretation. Also bugs me because mechanics of the ritual not made clear but that's a different thought), I'm pretty sure he'd end up selling his soul post game at some point.

#shitposting astarion thoughts #this is my OPINION YOU DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE: I dont think its interesting to not have his soul sold #there needs to be some repercussion to Astarion himself for killing 7k people #just like theres repercussions for shads killing night song and becoming shars chosen #sorry i am thinking aboht this a lot as i try to plot my ascendant fic #fic tag: vicious #just to be clear not every post in this tag is an aspect of fic this is just thoughts

this goes under a cut because I'm being a hater but I am also really fed up

I'm so so so so so so sooooo tired of seeing both spawn!astarion fans spat with ascended!astarion fans. Yall really can't just let the other 'team' exist in peace and have to constantly keep one upping the other with how your preferred ending for the fictional man is Better

It's giving me Twilight fan flashbacks like holy shit

Both groups act like they have a superiority complex because their bundle of pixels 'fixed' him and he's Actually Happier Now and they'll run behind Larian writers saying these things to boot (which is a whole other issue for another day) - and then the other group gets mad and tries to 'well ACTUALLY' everyone. Or just huffs and puffs about how toxic relationships are Better, Actually.

I literally could not care less which ending you prefer but just don't be insufferable about it. It's a game. I enjoy playing with both of them and working out headcanons to do with 'bad' and 'good' endings. Some of us want to play with the toxic relationship because our OCs are also flawed people. It's fiction. Play with it. Some of us want a cute gushy thing, too.

Don't stamp all over other people's sandbox. God.

#bg3 fandom critical #i am actively feeling more and more soured as the days go by about the char it's incredibly annoying-#-to try and navigate fandom spaces about him nowadays. both 'sides' annoy me.#im also saying this as a bad ending durge enjoyer okay. i like bad endings. i am just Fed Up #you are NOT better than other people because you like a certain ending more please get a personality beyond that
