Before you go, I want to immortalize you as a dnd character. What class, race, subclass would you like, and would you like to choose your own stat array?
Oooooh!
Class is hard. I haven't played D&D too much, but a character I remember from an online game a long time ago was a swashbuckling ranger called Swoop and I liked that.
Um, maybe some kind of cleric? I don't have any particular idea of what sort of God I'd worship, so I'm not sure how I'd implement that in-game.
Race would probably have to be human, because if I'm going to do this, I want my character to be one of my sorts of people.
Classes, hmm. I like rangers, as mentioned. I'd probably want something that can deal with powerful enemy spell casters, and keep it relatively light on stats so I don't have to deal with a lot of healing and things like that. I am really fond of spells that let me deal lots of damage to a single target, so options like Eldritch Knight or Battlemaster (or just plain Sorcerer?) look good.
Subclass -- maybe I'd want something that doesn't require a lot of great investment in the lore and cute tricks of the class in order to be played well? I guess that rules out things like Blood Hunter, but probably not things like Bard, right?
My stat array would be pretty much what I have. I am a very meek and humble creature.

Ascended Astarion, Blood Brides & vampirism
After seeing this post by @missbaphomet (who asked to be tagged, so here you go) I decided to do a semi-deep dive into what it's all about.
Now I'll preface this that I'm more knowledgeable in Vampire the Masquerade tabletop than DnD but if there's vampires I'll be there.
For the purposes of this post I have looked into various guides, e5, Van Richten's guide to Ravenloft, briefly skimmed Curse of Strahd and consulted not one, not two, but three Dungeon Masters. So take my post as you will.
More under cut, this will be long.
It is well known that Astarion is aware of Strahd even before he's Ascended. We get his line that is basically "Strahd wouldn't put up with this shit." So, while it's only a subtle nod to von Zarovich, we still have it in game as canon line.
Now, I find this a very curious line in and on itself. Not only Astarion knows Strahd, he says the line with anger, which is clear indication that he sees Strahd as someone to look up to in one way or another. If you don't know Strahd I encourage you to google and at least read his wiki, he's a very fascinating man and very important in vampirism as a whole in DnD. He's THE vampire, THE villain. But moving on...
So Astarion definitely sees Strahd as someone who would not let himself be disrespected, it's obvious that Astarion if not aspires to be like Strahd, then definitely sees himself as capable (or capable in the future) to be as "revered" as von Zarovich is. That's a tidbit I want you all to remember.
We don't know just how much Cazador spoke to his spawn about vampire politics but they weren't just beasts locked in cages, they were going out, although to get victims for Cazador, they were still out and about. They talked to people, to each other and most likely ran into other vampires or spawn along the way in the centuries that they have been doing Cazador's bidding. This is just simple logic.
So how much Astarion and other spawn could know about Strahd, for example? There's very good reason to think that Strahd's escapades were known in Cazador's palace, as well as among other vampires. We know that Astarion likes to educate himself with whatever might benefit him ("Meanwhile, I think I'll spend some time studying the art of infernal negotiations." Act 2). It's also proven when he desperately wants to have Necromancy of Thay in hopes of finding a way to free himself from Cazador. Astarion seeks knowledge. Again, it's just pure logic to conduct that he knows more than just Strahd's name and that he's a vampire. Otherwise, why would he have the line comparing himself to him in a way that reflects that in some way Astarion reveres Strahd at least to a degree.
We established that Astarion very very likely knows a lot about Strahd, as well as other spawn alongside him. Which leads to this:
Astarion very likely knows about different ways to turn mortals into vampires.
While his own "becoming" has been a simple Spawn creation (with draining blood, burying and needing to dig oneself out), he must know about creation of Blood Brides (and Grooms, but for the sake of less words I'll use she/her and Bride but rituals I'm about to discuss can be done on any sex). Why? Because he must know about Strahd taking brides. If not, his own curiosity about his condition would have led him to learn about different rituals anyway. So based on Astarion's nature and the fact that he seems not only to be aware of Strahd but know the man to a degree of respect, I have no reason to doubt that Astarion knows about Blood Brides.
Keeping this in mind, let's move onto the night of Tav's "becoming". The scene is very clear: whatever path you choose, gentle or not, Astarion bites Tav twice in the cinematic. To become a Blood Bride one needs to be bitten trice, then given blood from the vampire. It's a whole ritual of draining her to delirium, then giving her blood. Now the vampire in question needs to fight his new bride off otherwise she will succumb to madness permanently. Astarion openly mentions he gave Tav "one drop" and seems he bypassed the need to fight her off him by most likely holding her down until his new Bride fell into a coma that leads to death. Generally the feeding is allowed from the neck but Astarion mentioning "one drop" indicates he's trying to be smarter than other vampires. Now this is interesting because to be a spawn one doesn't need their creator's blood. And they do get buried as well, just like Astarion was, while Tav never gets buried. I'm not going to detail how Larian strays from lore such as that vampires still need the dirt they died upon to rest, but we're going here by facts that should align with DnD.
Since we established that Tav is not just a normal Spawn, she was not created in a way other Spawn were, not even Astarion himself. So what IS she? Answer is right here, after all. Not only Astarion chooses her as his partner, he also ensures that she remains as such forever. Remember: Astarion does actually believe he is bestowing a gift when he turns Tav into his Bride - the gift of freedom from aging and death and to be by his side forever. "You are beautiful and you will be beautiful forever" (paraphrasing here).
I see DnD loremasters already shaking their pitchforks at me: can Astarion even do it? On a night of his own transformation? Creating a Blood Bride is something that vampires with a label of Ancient and up can perform, and even then not always successfully. Creating Spawn is much easier than creating a Bride (or several, if we're looking at Strahd). Well, what is an ancient vampire varies from version to version, but ultimately it does not matter. Why? Because Larian homebrewed an entirely new breed of vampire: the Vampire Ascendant.
Larian did not bother to explain in full what does that mean and what actual changes Astarion is going to see in the future once he becomes more accustomed to his powers. But it's completely reasonable to believe he's capable of creating Blood Brides. Simple because a - he attempts it already and succeeds (Tav is turned into one). That's it. Astarion follows the Bride Ceremony and indeed ends up creating a Bride. Not only he performs the ritual in exact way it's described in lore (we see part of it but his words the morning after confirm the rest), he also is capable of doing so because Larian made it canon by letting Tav become a Bride, successfully. She gains the Bite, confirming her transformation and there's not a single conversation piece indicating that Astarion CAN compel Tav in any way. He simply says "Why would I need to?" without establishing that the rules are different for Tav. He also hammers on that point several times: "Spawn is an ugly word, I really do prefer consort." and confirms that Tav will drink his blood without any implication that it's going to be just one time thing. Astarion obviously believes in drinking each others blood as a form of bonding and love.
Tav is not merely his Spawn, she's his Blood Bride. Every fact in game and DnD lore confirms it. And not even once Astarion actually tries to compel Tav (or is able to). Not even when confronting Elder Brain, he has a line encouraging Tav to control the brain, trying to convince her to take the power, instead of compelling her like Cazador used to compel him. There's not a single instance were Astarion controls Tav so the conclusion is simple - he can't. Tav can even argue with him at the epilogue party if she wishes so. That's not behavior of someone controlled, abused and manipulated. She has her free will to the point that she can talk back to him without being punished (something unseen with Cazador, for example). If she can leave him, well, that's another topic altogether, but I'll just say this - I think she can leave him, but he won't let her, not because he can command her to stay but because he's possessive of Tav.
Anyway, here it is, my semi-deep dive into the topic. Keep in mind I'm not a Dungeon Master.

Share the last line in your WIP and then share the line you just added:
“…na? Leona? Leona!” Ruggie’s voice was loud, with a hint of panic. “Leona, that hurts!”
Leona blinked to awareness. Slowly, he released his hold on Ruggie’s injured arm.
Guess who's been working on the Savanaclaw Saw Trap again?...ehe...

(Feel free to delete/ignore if this makes you uncomfortable! It's not my intent but I understand if it does.)
You're the sexology guy so I felt like you'd be cool to ask: where and how does one buy sex toys safely?
I hear a lot about sites and toys that are unsafe, but never ones that are ok, and I imagine that makes people aside from myself nervous too.
(Again, totally understand if this is too weird!!)
-🌠
Not weird at all, anon! I would've answered sooner but I forgor lmao
Easiest way to get sex toys safely is from dedicated, trusted brands and websites. That is to say, probably avoid Amazon unless you know how to spot and avoid knockoffs and are vigilant about poor materials (for example, whether the toy is made out of porous silicon or non-porous-- you probably want non-porous). Stores like Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart also often carry sex toys, but the quality and durability of those can vary a ton so they're not ideal if you're looking for a good long-term toy.
That said, I'm definitely more of a sexual psychology guy when it comes to this topic. @missbaphomet will probably be able to give a more in-depth answer and rattle off specific brands or stores. 'Cuz I can say "oh Bad Dragon and Hitachi are well-respected, try those" all I want, it doesn't change the fact that the only toys I've owned were cheap $20-30 ones that broke within a year, and that I got my first flog from Spirit Halloween lmao
