    Many thanks to the talented ‪@Somniatica‬ for giving me permission to use her song for my nefarious purposes. Please show her love:

    "I just want to be safe"
    Augh my heart because it was one of the reasons he started the relationship with you in the first place, to be safe to know that there would be someone to protect him

    I’m always incredibly sad watching these, but it goes to show how well his story was written, how tragic it actually is, and how emotionally attached we have become to these fictional characters. Well done.

    incredible animation especially since Astarion is my favorite character.
    It looks like an anime opening.
    I would really like a series about Astarion's past with animation like Arcane that would be so good

  • @Musemistress
    @Musemistress Год назад +24

    Bloody hell this was amazing. Both drawings AND song. The combination being both 100% about him is incredible! I wrote a few days ago on reddit about how much of Astarion's story with Cazador could be triggering, but how cathartically AMAZING the writing of his trauma really is. The creators and the VA, they need more than just awards. They need accolades for the rest of time. In one go, they have helped thousands of us process our own traumas, for some better than our therapists could have.
    They have saved lives with this story, and now this art and song have just added to it. Thankyou, so so much.

    It took me a while to understand what I was ‘sensing’ from him the first time our minds connected with tadpoles. ‘The light, the fear’. It was that he was out in the sun, the fear that he might die.
    There are so many people who misunderstand Astarion’s story, his trauma, his fear and why he is the way he is. We project too much on the masterpiece that Neil created.
    Astarion is such a complex and beautiful character, I have romanced him my last 4 playthroughs and I have already planned my fifth. I adore hom with Dark Urge because of how they are both two characters, running from masters and a life they once knew.
    Baldur’s Gate is ‘n masterpiece, and the only game that actually made me buy a PS5.

      For all of my life, I've been forced to survive
      Holding stranger by knife or by teeth in the night
      Never knew that I'd find, taste like yours, that I'd dine
      Though our lives are at stake, you let live, the poor rake
      A dead magistrate with no years, with no date
      Only sins to his name, a spawn put in his place
      Escaped
      The sun's still in my face
      I run and they chase, even here, in this place
      With your hand in my hand, arms around, an embrace
      I am no longer safe, I am no longer safe
      I just want to be safe
      I want us to be safe
      With the sun still in my face
      Escaped
