I just think that astarion deserves to be treated softly. I just think that astarion needs to cry in tav’s arms . I just think that he needs to be held and loved and adored. is that so bad
The answer is however many show up outside the window he tosses food scraps of. I'm sure Astarion comes up with beautiful names for each of them but they're just called "cat" 85% of the time.
Bed time would be a real unbalanced situation during winter.
Thinking about how much I love the spawn Astarion graveyard sex scene (well, 'scene' is a generous term, since it's fade-to-black, but that's part of why I like it). I personally headcanon that it was pretty spontaneous--that Astarion didn't bring Tav there for that purpose, that he had originally intended just to show the one he loves the place where his life first ended to talk about his new life beginning. But, when the mood shifted just right, Astarion took a chance and grasped the feeling.
If it was spontaneous, it would probably have been the first completely uncalculated sex that Astarion can remember having. Sex that was far more about the emotions surrounding it than the sex itself. Yes, it's in the open on a grave, but it's not played off as done for the thrill or anything like that--if the place that held meaning for Astarion had been indoors, he would have done it there. It was about overwriting this place of horror with an act of love and intimacy and enjoyment (and there's an edge of defiance to it that is so Astarion, ugh I love it), a first step in Astarion writing his new life. And, with the fade-to-black, reinforcing that he is done with performance.
this is what pushed the candle over and started the fire btw
why does it need to be normalized. its cool. just do it and live weird and beautifully and survive the soul crushing ordeal of your friend widening their eyes and giving a grimace smile and shaking their head and going Okay Katie. or laughing with one hand covering their mouth and saying "Girl this is such a you thing to do", shaking their head no, and taking a picture for their snap story so their situationship can dully reply "what lol" and another person from her highschool can go "nope" You can survive you can be weird. just be weird . just get weeeirrd (AND THIS ISNT EVEN WEIRD)
