rules

template made by poohsources

☆ This blog is private, selective, and mutuals only
I will only interact in-character with mutuals. You're welcome to send in anons that aren't specific to a character.

☆ Ask before turning a prompt/meme into a thread.
I'll ignore the response if you don't.

☆ Be 21+.
I prefer 25+.

☆ I prefer OCs with written out dossiers
I need this to understand the dynamic most appropriate for our muses.

☆ I don't shy away from dark themes.
Astarion is manipulative, toxic, and at times abusive as illustrated in canon. I won't be blunting him. I can and will RP him as his ascended version.

☆ I won't RP with
- Child muses
- OCs with pre-established backstories to Astarion. ( i.e. family members, old friends)
- OCs that are children of any canon characters.
- Harry Potter and Disney characters.

☆ Drama, callouts, and blocking
I want nothing to do with callouts, DNI, excessive vagues, ooc drama, or dogpiling. I don't give a shit what x, y, or z did. I'm an adult who can make his own judgement calls.
Me and the block button are brothers. We visit each other often. I use him to file my e-restraining orders.
☆ I have mains, but...
I will happily write with more than one of a canon character.
☆ I won't write:
- Pregnancy
- Cat death
- Eye gore
- Astarion as a father or a parental figure.
- Menstruation eating/drinking
- Incest or underage relationships
- Cazador/Astarion or Raphael/Astarion

I ask you tag these appropriately.

Shipping

☆ I don't practice ship exclusivity.
All ships exist in their own separate universes. I like platonic and antagonistic ships.
☆ Natural development and chemistry only.
I will not jump into pre-established relationships. Don't send in smut/romantic shippy memes/prompts as our first ic interaction without some ooc discussion first.
Astarion has a very flirtatious and overtly sexual way he carries himself. Relationships are transactional to him until your muse gives him reason to care.
☆ Smut will be present.
Smut will be on comfort basis and will go below a cut. Any M/F explicit scenes will get a fade to black.

Writing and accommodations

☆ I have dyslexia. I need the following accommodations.
- Use proper capitalization/punctuation. ( sentence case )
- No all uppercase
- No all lowercase ( lapslock )
- Don’t use multiple spaces between your words or the middle of sentences.
- Specialized characters.
If I see a combination of these things on your blog I am unlikely to follow back.
☆ My writing
I tend to write 2-5 paragraphs on average in 3rd person, past tense. Don't feel pressured to match my length. Just give me something to work with.
I use small text in formatting. If you need this changed for accessibility reasons, reach out.

Verses

Main

The Road to Baldur's Gate
( BG3 )
Anything that happens during the course of the main game. Unless specified by either RPing with a Tav or otherwise, this verse assumes Origin Astarion playthrough. Basically Astarion ended up as the person making all the major decisions at camp.
The Magistrate
( bg3 )
A member of the patriar class, Astarion is the only child of the noble name of Ancunín of Baldur's Gate. He has all the haughtiness of a typical High Elf. His family acquired their wealth through the silk trade.
He studied first to be a lawyer for the city. A path that elevated his family name in the standing of the Gate's nobility. Through his mother's political clout Astarion is given a seat of prestige as a magistrate.Though he is really good at what he does, he is very corruptible. He accepts bribes under the table to effect his rulings. He turns a blind eye to the city's underbelly— when they give him the right incentive. His judgements are often from his feelings towards the parties involved instead of any actual impartiality.He's only just clever enough to be not outright accused of corruption. But only just barely.
Years of Torment
( bg3 )
Takes place during the timeframe that Astarion is still a spawn and under Cazador's control.
Ascended
( bg3 )
Anything that involves him taking the Ascended route in game.
This is going to be a lot of fun
( bg3 )
Taking all the valuables from Cazador's palace and pawning them off across the Gate to accumulate as much wealth as possible. He restarts building a life for himself.Mysteriously through no fault o f his ( that any one can prove ) the palace burnt to the ground. Truly, a tragic accident to lose a historic building like the Szarr Palace.
While mostly sticking to the Underdark below the city, he does have a home built topside. The patriars are trying to get into/keep in his good graces thanks to the title of 'Hero'. Would be hunters, cheap cutthroats, and clerics are often a pain in his ass.

AU

Ring of Fortune
( BG3 )
Halsin romance exclusive in this verse only: never-surrender
Astarion comes by a ring of mind shielding during one of his hunts from a victim. Once he slips it on he finds Cazador’s compulsion are severely weakened. He takes the chance to escape.
The Tailor and the Jackass
( BG3 )
The discovery of an artifact has lead the Ascendant to be split into two different people. One embodies the personality of the spawn he once was, the Tailor. Doing so has removed any restraint from the Ascended, the Jackass. They can't remain apart forever. Only one of them will triumph in being the dominant persona when they reunite.
Modern Fantasy
( General )
Lord Szarr
( DnD )
