Baldur's Gate 3 Spoilers - Blog Posts

I've been thinking a lot about forever. Moreso, I've been thinking about everything that comes before - and who I want at my side as it passes.

WYLL RAVENGARD | Baldur's Gate III (2023)

NO GORTASH YOU DUMB SLUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bhaal really is like what if we killed lovers. over and over again. what if punishment for your failure was the risk of your lover’s death. what if I reminded you again and again that that you are alone. that I am in control. What if I held your heart and stopped it for a tremulous beat as a reminder that it’s by my grace and essence that you even live. what if you hated like you should. like i made you to. what if you behaved.

stop embarrassing her!!!

Thinking about Astarion and his asexual swag. You canonically stop sleeping together because he wants time to come into his own. And after you finish his quest you can go meet those drow twins and he becomes really eager to try sex again. He tell you he wants to try, and he'll dart away if he gets overwhelmed. And you have right up until the moment it begins to act him if he's alright, and okay with it. And he is! He's consenting and simingly super into it. But after the act starts you notice how he disassociates. His eyes glaze and he's no longer there. Not to mention during the grave yard scene. You can have sex with him over his own grave (hot) and he takes the lead in it, which really is a great development from the first sex scene with him, where he's hardly there and you do all the work.

But. Instead of sleeping together you can ask Astarion to just. Sit. Hold each other. Cuddle! And he sounds so surprised, then delighted at you asking it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with people who choose that option with him at the grave. He's happy, consenting and eager to sleep with your character. But he's just as happy not to. He's so, so asexual. Not sex averse, clearly. But he obviously only enjoys it with you. (And maybe Halisn idk I never tried the polyam route)

Astarion Graveyard-Rivington glitch

Hey Astarion lovers. So I deliberately avoided getting rooms at the Elfsong before fighting Cazador because it was cool to see the camp-related cutscenes in different locations.

When I long rested in Baldur's Gate for the graveyard scene, it opens at the docks then proceeds to the graveyard like normal.

BUT

When I rested in Rivington, the scene stayed at the camp in Rivington.

His grave just pops up in the hay pile behind Halsin's tent.

So I got-

Beautiful shots of Astarion in nature

And their decision to have fun behind Halsin's tent.

That is Halsin's pillow a foot from Tav's head.

We are just on his tent.

I can't.

It was too funny.

YES. This is exactly my headcanon. Like they would both be super "WTF you can make babies like this????"

Well fed vampires LMAO. Between Tav and all the baddies he's primed and ready.

Speaking of vamp babies, I've seen some be like, "Oh, don't do that. He'd be a horrible father."

But like... Bold of you to assume that that child wouldn't be a Surprise! baby. Because, like. My Tav would assume he's shooting blanks and I feel like Astarion would also assume he's shooting blanks.

Reblog so the fic gets written 🤣

Still super obsessed with the idea of Tav being part of the og party that killed Strahd and they just… dont mention it. At all.

Like, you’ve got:

Gale: Archmage of Waterdeep, wizarding prodigy, Chosen of Mystra herself

Karlach: frontliner of the Blood War and escapee from Avernus

Wyll: The Blade of Frontiers and son of Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard

Astarion: Vampire spawn of Cazador Szarr, and former magistrate

Shadowheart: Priestess of Shar, Lady of Loss

Lae’zel: Badass githyanki and proud servant of Vlaakith

And my Tav’s canon: Slayer of the Dread Lord Strahd von Zarovich, currently trying to find a way to bring it up to the party and is 100% awkward about it because they died *after* killing Strahd and only because they tripped off a cliff and their old party thought it’d be funny to cast Reincarnate instead of Revivify.

The story everyone knows is that (Tav) died in the fight against Strahd as a “final heroic sacrifice for the greater good.” When in reality, they’re too embarrassed to correct anyone so they’ve picked a new name and literally made a deal with Neferon or Exethanter for completely different magic to what they used to wield and now they’re committed to the disguise/new life/fake backstory of being tricked into a Warlock pact. At this point, they’re neckdeep in this awkward situation where everyone believes they died a hero’s death, their old party is kinda just laughing about everything, and their BG3 party is completely oblivious.

Astarion: “It’s near impossible to kill a true vampire lord. Cazador is almost unbeatable.”

Tav the Strahd Slayer: “…I see.”
