When Astarion says “I prayed to all the gods. They never answered” and Wyll says “the only thing a god’s ever given me is a cold shoulder” and when Minthara says “there are no gods left for me”
if you even get it.
I don’t know if this is funny or depressing

wyll is forever my number one <33
I have learned new information. This is from a post about how to get the most disapproval points from companions.
Can’t stop laughing at the idea of Gale stomping his feet in anger, not because Astarion is a vampire but because he’s lying about it

“Well…it was nice while it lasted.”
Astarion: “No one ever cared about me >:\”
Karlach, standing 10ft away: “ME I CARE I CARE SO MUCH”
I love the camp gossip but do wish companions would interact with each other more... so I'm gonna draw it!!! I think Karlach and Astarion gotta have the most contrasts between their characters but one bit I like especially is touch starved vs touched out.
Give me a shot to remember and you can take all the pain away from me ‼️
(I think about bloodweave a healthy amount)
larian please hire me, I wanna draw full issue ;u;
They really need to talk about those issues, don't they ?
Astarion's Origin can be a lonely experience sometimes (since none of the companions really react to the same experiences as when you don't play as him. Eg. speaking to Araj) so I wanted to throw my son into this camp scene he gets in act 2...
Also big thank you to @banmitbandit and @paiveus for all the grave metaphors lmao

I didn't know you felt so strongly, Gale.
🧙♂️💔😿
TARA: Ahhh, that's it. No one manages the nuances quite like you do.
i am unwell again about act iii gale and the variations the astral sea/boat scene can have:
node context: genuine, vulnerable - the player just told him they loved him in a way no one else has gale: i conjured this illusion often during my confinement in waterdeep. an escape for the mind where there was none for the body. it was easier to stare at the celestial abyss than recognise the emptiness within myself. easier to pretend my destiny lay among such stars, than work to salvage a life on solid ground. you changed all that.

the way a romanced astarion unpacks everything when you get the good ending for his personal quest is lowkey funny tho
like. he basically sums up the entire point of his journey and confirms explicitly that you did, in fact, make the exact right choices to help him grow????
the writers really drive home this idea of just "that's it! you did it! you uncovered the secret to making him a good person, and it turns out the only requirements were to give a shit about him and believe he's capable of doing the right thing!! literally just those two things and nothing else!!"
first in the graveyard
side note, "you trusted me when that was an objectively stupid thing to do" is one of my favorite lines because it just sums up really the whole experience of his romance gfjdklgjdf
then later in casual conversation
[tav: you saved yourself, i just gave you a push]
it's all really sweet and lovely and emotional but also. REALLY funny to me. because there are all those people who go "astarion is an irredeemable piece of shit with no soul and everyone who likes him is in denial of how much he sucks"
meanwhile astarion's just out there like "thanks for keeping me from becoming the worst possible version of myself by exercising empathy instead of just writing me off as a hateful pile of garbage ❤ love u"
really incredible. absolute masterpiece

Fleeting memories
“I’ll help you find a way to walk in the sun again.”
Post bg3 when Noah promises to help Astarion walk in the sun. Whether that's by finding the Ring of the Sunwalker or by searching for the most powerful wizard/sorcerer who can cast the Wish spell, who knows.
Continuing with more art of social scenes that I wish we had in bg3

gale + saying i love you
Astarion x GN!Bard!Tav headcanons
Content warnings: Pure angst, Tav is dead, I literally had to take breaks from writing because I didn't want to cry in public
Summary: Headcanons for Astarion after Tav's death
•Astarion, who ended up with Bard!tav and kept his promise of loving them til their dying day, even after that.
•Astarion, who sang Tav's own songs to them on their last days.
•Astarion, who was more heartbroken than he's ever been when Tav died.
•Astarion, who despite that kept his promise to keep living after Tav was gone for at least another lifetime even if he never found another SO.
•Astarion, who was finally strong enough to clean up Tav's stuff after weeks had passed and found all of their sheet music and a small journal with lyrics.
•Astarion, who made sure to carry copies of Tav's work on his travels and hand them out to random musicians or music shops to keep their memory and work alive.
•Astarion, who learned the basics to Tav's instrument of choice or an instrument they always said they would've liked to play to feel closer to them.
•Astarion, who made sure to carry around either a photo of Tav (if those exist) or a small painting of the both of them to make sure he never forgets Tav's face like he did his (bonus points if Tav made it).
•Astarion, who selfishly kept the last thing Tav ever wrote for him to himself. It was unfinished, written on a paper full of annotations and crossed out ideas for lyrics or how the melody should go. After he learned your instrument he would try to decode the sheet of paper until he understood it and learned to play it since tav didn't get to play it for him.
