The man literally thought the answer of atonement is that he should hunt down a mysterious orb that he has no clue about but slight tomes he glimpsed at and absorb it, blow himself up for a past jealous and spiteful lover who tells him that it's the only way for anything to work out in the end, if he finds a book of Karsus he will decide that he should become a God in spite of her, and finally he jumps to wanting to give her the crown of Karsus that gives a capability to become a God because she says that it must be so. He may have good dad jokes on unlock, but I worry for the advice he would give any child. I worry for any of them to give advice to a child. They're sweet, but not the most street-smart at moments. Even Halsin, he thought to charge into a Castle of Goblins without knowing the numbers, recruit any druid who comes to his camp, leave his druid camp in the hands of a stranger, absolve the druid of her crimes saying that she did not know better when it would be best to remove her from the forest or imprison her to care for the others through the shadow's forest arc. Shadowheart, Astarion, and Laezel would tell the child to murder/ assassinate them. Wyll and Jaheira would tell them to fight everyone. Karlach would probably be the most sane parent in the camp other than telling them to trust nobody because everyone is out to get them. Funnily enough, she was the only one who seemed to grow up with some parent figure (not like noble familes who raise their children like cattle to carry on the name), unless I missed some dialogue with other characters.
@@prettyfly969 noooo of course not! I`m not pushing I don`t think I`m interested in it at all rn, I`m just laughing at Astarion mocking Wyll for that. Thank you for kind words!
Since Astarion is a bloody elf as well, is he talking about the maturity of 15 or the actual age of 15? Because a 15 year old elf is not as developed as a 15 year old human.xD
@@maximillian1109 if I remember correctly a 15 years old elf is exactly as mature (physically) as a 15 years old human. They just stop aging when they are young adults. The idea that elves become adults when they are 100 is just their social construct
Don't worry about it. There's no rulebook that says you *have* to be kissing by 13 or having sex by 16, and it doesn't mean your life's gonna be miserable if you don't do things by the same age as other folk. Better to walk your path at your pace instead of trying to run someone else's.
Astarion views a first kiss at 15 as tragically sheltered, yet members of his race don't regard one another as adults until they're over a century old.
I think Astarion’s referring to elf years here. Considering that he turned into a vampire at 30 years which would be equivalent to most like 13 or 15 years in human ages: this would mean- Oh dang that’s depressing
"You didn't have your first kiss until you were fifteen? What a tragic sheltered life." Me, not having had my first kiss until 34 and three quarter years old: "You call that sheltered?! Ha!"
This is such a nice lovely moment! I love all their expressions, As Ever, and the physicality you've given them, especially Karlach's like relaxation-puffs from her arm vents if that makes sense. (Also I appreciate you giving her an actual shirt!) Everyone's so WARM and it's so NICE ;v; Thanks for sharing your work!
Have to admit to find it fascinating seeing so many women ignoring how very clearly queer coded Astarion is, and imagining a man who makes every effort to suggest he is flamboyant and uninterested in women, would make the exception for their tav. I mean, obviously in the game any and all characters can be pansexual as the game sort of panders to fit what the player wants regardless of whether it would make sense for the character (Lae’zel can be romanced by non-githyankis even though she very clearly is bigoted against all non-githyankis), but IRL if a woman meets a man who is as foppish and effeminate as Astarion, that is usually his attempt to subtly indicate to the world that he is not interested in women- so those who would pursue him might also be the type to constantly get unrequited crushes on their gay best friend in theater camp. This is of course speaking in generalizations. I know plenty of bisexual and even straight men who are fairly effeminate (myself being one of them), but it does seem like women would at least subconsciously pick up on the clues and avoid heart break by seeking out someone who seems less likely to sit them down and explain that they see them as just a friend.
Also very rude of me to write all of that while failing to mention just how outstanding this animation was. Expressions , subtle looks, everything was done to perfection and the artist should be incredibly proud of themself.
I mean it just depends on the bisexual as you said...you can't say that every effeminate bisexuality is mostly or exclusively into men. You also just admitted that there are effeminate straight men too(which is true) AND this is a game lol. One in which the character in question constantly indicates he's at least into sleeping with/ engaging in friends with benefits with any gender.
The VA for Astarion has very similar mannerisms and is married to a woman… Also he’s been very open about his intention to make Astarion seem like he wouldn’t have a gender preference when it came to partners
I love when Gale says his unfunny dad jokes and laughs at them. And he says he's not father material, liar.
Add the one-shot's interaction with astarion "what?! 20 gold?! Here's 10 and I want change!" and your honor, we rest our case

He is literally just my dad
Me: Aww, Wyll is talking about his first kiss. So cute! ❤
Astarion: sheltered life...
Me, almost 20, haven't even held anyone's hand: EXUSEMUA
I didn't have my first kiss till I was 27. XD HAH! Take that, Astarion! (For the record, first kiss was totally worth the wait!)
@@Zaxares so glad you liked it when you had it 😂🖤
it's fine, don't worry about it! mine was at 19. Everyone has their own pace, don't try to push yourself just to 'complete a milestone'
@@prettyfly969 noooo of course not! I`m not pushing I don`t think I`m interested in it at all rn, I`m just laughing at Astarion mocking Wyll for that. Thank you for kind words!
Exactly! Also, assuming the misspelling wasn’t intentional, it’s spelled “excuse-moi”
Asterion, if 15 is sheltered, then what is my 24?
Fossilized lol

No one's talking about Shadowheart doing her thing in the background, but it got me good
Being passed out?
Surprising since she is supposed to be the heavyweight of the group.
@@damobeck1 She got a head start XD
ASTARIONS LIL HEART AT TAV AT 0:24 is so wholesome and cute
0:40 me almost 20 and I’ve never had my first kiss. Damn Astarion you got me there.
No worries! :) Its all the same, no matter how old or young you are!
Don't feel pressured friend! Things will happy at your own time
Me almost 30, and I'm in the same sh*tuatuon 🥲

@@MsPumpkinOwldo you just not interact with people?
I think Shadowheart's already passed out form daydrinking ahead of the party, so a few coins from her purse can get the party started catching up.

0:12 Oh, this pat on the head is so cute and sweet!
Or very creepy depending on how you view Astarion.
@@cryamistellimek9184huh? Why would it be creepy though?
@@cryamistellimek9184he's not creepy! He's got issues, but being creepy isnt one of them. RAPHAEL on the other hand...
@@toomuchglitters7254 Being manipulative to you and talking like a Reddit mod does to an underage girl doesn’t make him creepy? Sure.
@cryamistellimek9184 bro, this is Act 3, and he and Tav are obviously together. This is what we couples call: affection.
Gooosh, that Astarion's smile at the end of this video so adorable and patting on the head. I've watched it 7 times😮
ACK the little pat on the head from Astarion. And this is one of my fave Karlach and Gale interactions so thank you!!
I love how Shadowheart is just blitzed unconscious on the counter
Aww this is adorable! I love the sweet smiles between Astarion and Chia 🥹

Thanks for sharing your work!
His judgement never fails to make me laugh
me at 22 and the most i’ve gotten is one (1) hand hold: thanks astarion ‘ppreciate it man
Not SH passed out drunl XD
If she still has her boots on she's fair game for a painted mustache! /jk
Astarion patting tavs head awwe
So CUTE! i love the expressions from everyone
The knowledge that Astarion would mega judge me for never having been kissed at 27 is bothering me more than it should.
This is so underrated, it's so heartwarming, and the little Pat on the head :__
* Me, 25 almost, never got kissed by a Girl before *
Astarion: "Oh, that's just so sad.... Or pathetic. I haven't decided yet." 💅👁👄👁
0:32 i... astarion has suddenly made me ao self conscious
EXCUSE ME ASTARION I HAD MY FIRST KISS AT 23 😤
I love this animatic, it’s too adorable 💗💕 and the fact they both have rings on their fingers is melting my heart 🥹💕
Damn Astarion is brutal, 15 is young!
*Not me having my first kiss at 2 in a church ...under a table* Yep I got busted by my mom who tells me that story as often as possible
Wyll almost gave me a heart attack when he said 15
Astarion really called out the player base with that comment 💀
0:07 they’re making Slaanesh pay for it?
Better than Tzeentch. You can't be sure your drink will be the same from one sip to the next.
Just noticed the ring on Astarion's finger 👀 are they married 👀👀
Oooh good eye
Awww that's so cuuute QOQ
This is so wholesome and cute. I love it.
This is the sweetest thing I've ever seen
Shadowheart eepy
Astarion would freak out and probably run for the hill if he met me. Im in my 30s and thats all ive ever gotten us a kiss. Nit a very good one either.
Me, who is un her 28 and never kissed someone more than a quick kiss to a friend: 😶😶😶
Your Tav is so pretty aaaaa
I see the ring on both asty and tav’s hands~ 👀💗
Bruh what I had my first kiss at 15 too. Makes me wonder how old Astarion was when he had his if he can remember that
Awww the looks at the end is so cute ^^
*Me, who had her first kiss at 19*
ª
This is my favourite animation
This is cute lol noice job!
Wyll: I didn’t kiss anyone til i was 15
Me, also a Warlock: *HA I DID IT AT THE AGE OF 8!*
Are this real in game lines? And youre Video is really wholesome
yes
Sorry we DONT ALL LOOK SO GOOD ASTARION
*wyll speaks*... WAT??
Gods, I love it! Astarion is my favorite boi ever
You know elves are considered adults when they’re around 100 years old. Meaning a 15 year old Astarion is the equivalent of a 2-3 year…
Fifteen is a little sheltered. I was nine. We were terrible at it. But it was fun.
Sheltered, or chaste.

Astarion my beloved, I think the word you seek for me it's "cloistered", as I gave my first at 27 😂
