Also I hate astarion "if you dont like astarion thats a red flag because you're like his abuser" no, no. No! listen. i hate astarion because he is literally me. do you get that. this is an act of self hate. everything i can't stand in him is exactly what i can't stand in myself. but also because he sounds like stewie family guy and i dont know how he won an award for that.
we do love a trauma revenge fantasy though. he can still stay in camp with me until we murder cazador because i'd hope he would do the same for me.

i think shadowheart and morrigan (dragon age) would be besties but not in the actual besties way but in the fake they're going to drink lots of wine and talk shit about everyone else and laugh about it but as soon as the other one is out of earshot they start talking about how much they hate each other

I still regret to have killed Minthara without knowing she was saveable in a good playthrough because from clips I keep seeing she is literally the funniest and mosed based character. Also her being House Baenre made me do Huge Eyeball Emoji at my screen because I have read the Drizzt books (partway, anyways) and I can't help but wonder if she knows of Drizzt or would have met him at some point given her rank and the general time period. It's a shame you can't really ask or know.
Thankfully my resist durge managed to knock her out but I havent gotten far enough to see her again. She Will be romanced because he is also drow so why not.

I got reminded of the lore for pink dragons earlier so i have attempted a pink dragonborn as a bard.
Tashas hideous laughter is actually op, i managed to actually successfully kill the tutorial encounter by having us take care of the imps and dogs, disarming two of the cambions and positioning laezel and shadowheart sneaking up the stairs on opposite sides to fire arrows and lob the void bulbs and caustic acid and one bottle of grease i found and setting it on fire while i kept them laughing and vicious mockery and they didnt manage to succeed the skill check to stop laughing.
I will admit, i was on casual mode so their health was lower. But still. Managing to beat level 4s as level 1s was epic. Especially with the limited resources it even gives you at that point.

thats it from now on tasha's laughter is replacing sleep spells because it works on characters that are immune to sleep and it's incredibly funny hearing random enemies laugh because some of them are so unhinged and silly

I think actually one of my main other problems with astarion is despite the fact the game itself lets you alter what route your companions take astarion is the type of person that truly wouldn't let his defences down for his own security and his ascended route especially proves it.
yes, he was abused, is a victim. but from everything he went through he didn't really learn why it was wrong, he just learned how to bend it to his advantage. he is the abuser that continues the cycle. he won't break it and i don't really feel sorry for him after that reveal even if you convince him to not kill hundreds of people, he just hates you for it and might even just decide to leave anyway because he doesnt really care whats best for other people. the fact he disapproves every time you do something even slightly nice proves it.
so yes, for what parts i do relate to him, i still feel like a very annoyed mirror, but i like to think i'd never be one to take things nearly that far, fantasy setting or not.

it would be so annoying to be a tiefling. imagine wearing your favorite shirt and moving wrong and then oops it's ruined now because the huge fking spikes on my shoulder blades ripped it. or any other bump snagging.

I really like the short races but I'm perpetually irritated that they all stand like a toddler standing in the doorway about to tell you they just threw up.

I ended up paying the patreon of the guy who is working on the tabaxi race mod and getting it. Best 4 dollar ever spent. Here's Willow in her most and least flattering angles. ![](https://imgur.com/yOzM2Mf.png) ![](https://imgur.com/dbiDIG7.png) (I was turning the volume down because it was suddenly too frickin loud) ![](https://imgur.com/M3iC73E.png) (So the guardian can save you but then just still chooses to drop you directly on your head. That's cool, we really needed more brain damage after having brain eating worms put in our eyeballs. Thank you.)

She's a sorcerer so I figure her one glowy eye is probably causing her magic or was caused by it or something, and also why she partly covers it with her hair. I like that it glows in the dark but in the light they look about the same shade of purpley pinkish. That also means that I *can't* take volo's eye this run, or she'd stop having magic, and since she wants to hide her magic eye already, she probably wouldn't let the hag take her good one either. I think having a "weird eye" is a source of self consciousness for her and that's why she will end up liking and romancing Wyll.

Once again miffed and disgusted about the ways people treat Astarion. If they're not simping over an abuser they're calling his face grinchy as if real people don't have creased folds when they smile and his face model is based on the voice actor himself. Do you know what a miserable sop you are to call anyones smile ugly?
