When even evil ascendend astarion gets mad about someone using you, you know it's serious.

“My… precious treasure has been violated still.” and “I can’t imagine getting bored of… all that, myself.” hits me

Interesting how the only quote that changes still has Ascended Astarion call Tav his "treasure". Spawn Astarion simply comments on how upsetting it is that they have to be trapped in something similar, while Ascended Astarion needs to mention how something of his (his treasure) is being used.

It's still weird how little attention irt companions' reactions this whole thing got.

Imagine asking Shadowheart to cast guidance at this moment "no I can't tell you for what, just do it this is important."

"I thought the same, once. It didn't last." this line is just so unbelievably true and deep

Im jealous of people romancing Astorion, you get a reaction like this from him but when you’re romancing Wyll and you break him from his pact he has nothing to say when you turn around and make one

Ascended Astarion is still the same guy that got sexually abused so he has a love hate relationship with pleasure. It disgusts himbut he enjoys it to a point, so seeing u being used pisses him off

Ascended Astarion is just so interesting to me. 0% regrets in going that route on my personal playthrough as it makes sense on my Tav's journey.

I love corruption arcs and evil characters because of how intriguing they are.


From my own reading of evil (because ascended is too long) Astarion's character, becoming a vampire corrupted his love towards Tav.
It's clear that Astarion sees Tav as someone who understands him, like he says after the spawn attack your camp "They(spawn) don't have someone like you"(paraphasing can't remember it word to word).
In his mind Tav is the only one who accepts him as he is, someone who will stand up for him and truly love him.
In the evil Astarion's mind having Tav as *his* is given. No one else can have Tav.

When you break up because you don't want to become a spawn, he starts saying how it would have just used you up until you were nothing, seems to be something people use to point out how Astarion doesn't love Tav as his evil version.

Now, I can't speak for the writers and what they intended with that scene, but my *personal* reading of it is:
Astarion tries to hide how hurt he is. That it doesn't affect him at all when it actually does. He is deflecting and trying to prove to you that he "doesn't need you" because his pride is hurt.
"How could this person who said they loved me, leave me? Well, jokes on them! I never really loved them. I was always just using them".
Basically any egotistical person when person they love leaves them.

Now, it's still toxic, obv. It's corruption arc in fantasy. But just call it "just toxic" is doing it a disservice, imo.

(and for the kids and people who think we should always hand hold people: Exploring and enjoying toxic relationships in fantasy setting, is not the same as approving them in real life. That should be obvious.
Fantasy allows us to explore these topics safely and discuss the complex psychological narratives being told to us without having to subject real people into these scenarios.)
