Thinking Of A Vampire And Person Dynamic That Is Really Funny To Me Hold On

thinking of a vampire and person dynamic that is really funny to me hold on

(twirling my hair around a finger) I dunno... just, like, them getting together before either even knows they have a chance to make their respective decisions. it's something to do—and effective stress relief. in real time astarion watches gale catch feelings for him and finds the whole thing terribly funny, how pathetic he is, how endearing... okay, so he likes him too, the way you can't help but like the runt in a litter of puppies, rooting for him against the world that's disadvantaged him.

it's astarion, first, who gets the chance to ascend, and it's gale's watery eyes and scuffed knees that talk him out of it, saying it's freedom astarion wants, not power, that he wants him as is, loves him as is, and doesn't want to see him corrupted. something something being reflected so fondly in another's eyes—how could astarion possibly go through with it?

so when gale finds out godhood is on the table—when he's actually considering it, astarion almost thinks it's a joke. where was the gale who spoke so reprovingly of power?

but gale's always had freedom, and it's power he wants. it's power he takes, when he becomes a god—and power he promises to share with astarion.

astarion resents him for it, a little bit, always. but even the proximity to gale's godly power is intoxicating, and how could he not stay, when he has nothing otherwise?

(whispers in ur ear) god gale x non-ascended astarion

thinkin about if act 3 mystra romantically pursues gale again when she realizes his ambition threatens her. when she remembers the easiest way to have control over him.

thinkin about gale’s having to choose between Mystra and the new paramour he’s met on the road. the choice he’d like to think he’d make—and then the choice he actually would.

of course i fell in love with him. he is sopping wet and miserable

oh boy oh boy oh boy! (cracking knuckles) these r from... an au I daresay is almost finished :)

“Delightful—oh, how thrilled your mother will be!" “My mother will hear nothing of this.” With his sharpest knife, Gale cuts the stems the way Morena Dekarios herself had taught him: at an angle, so that they absorb the most water. “It’s a first date, not a proposal of marriage.” Tara flicks her tail at him. “Knowing you, one is not so far after the other.”

maybe @velwynn has six sentences to share? <3

Hello Six Sentence Sunday Monday Wednesday it seems :D Here's some Gloryhammer to celebrate.

He’d preferred to get them by foot like everyone else, but Zargothrax had always been like a feral cat when wounded. From his expression, this feral cat was very close to pushing something off a ledge. “Zargothrax. I will ask nicely one more time, before I tie you up.” “You’d be into that, wouldn’t you?” “And there goes your last shred of dignity.”

Uhhhhhhh let's go with @luka-button @theineated and how about @nelkey
