i think part of the reason why bloodweave works so well is because it’s self recognition through the other. 2 sides of the same coin

astarion didn’t like gale at first and i think it’s because it was like looking into a mirror. the same hunger, the same need to chase after power because neither of them think they’re safe/good enough as they are, the same desperation for love and acceptance

and they could very well be the pair that breaks each other out of this pattern of thinking

we see how gentle astarion can be with someone he cares for and how he doesn’t want to see the other hurt. we see how understanding and sympathetic gale can be and how devoted he is to his partner no matter what. they won’t want to ruin the other because they’re all they have. i might even go so far to say that they understand each other on a deeper level than any of the other companions do

#in this essay i will #there are just so many ways to pair these 2 together and it can be tragic or wholesome and that’s the beauty of this pair #it’s just SUCH a good dynamic idk why people reduce it to toxic old man yaoi #im actually soooo against toxic relationships they are so much more than that #ive actually not been this insane about a ship for a while thank u larian #they COULD be toxic or they could be wholesome #I could be devil or your angle #it’s delicious im eating it up slurping my fingers yum yum yum #baldur's gate 3 #bloodweave #gale dekarios #astarion ancunin #vg #post.text()
