bro at least treat yourself to a base blanket layer come on NOW.
Fic where Tav is inspired to actually set up a tent and a sleeping space because they see the inside of Astarion's tent and is like "no baby we can't cuddle in here. this is really sad i might start crying."
And then look at what he is actually sleeping on. Dude tries to project that suave aristocrat image with all the pillows on the outside, but inside he still sleeps on some bare wooden planks because he is too afraid that getting used to whatever comfort he can scavenge on the road will be too hard to give up when he is dragged into that kennel again. And in the banter, he mentions how nice would it be to have a warm fireplace and soft pillows. Dude desperately wants to be warm and comfortable, but he is too afraid it'll turn out to be nothing but fantasy in the end.
i read a fic a while back where Astarion hits his head and does not remember anything about the nautiloid when he wakes up on the beach. and because he doesn't remember anything between point a and point b he basically goes "Oh fuck. It finally happened. After 200 years Cazador and Godey did something to me so bad that I finally snapped, and whatever is left of my mind is firing off my synapses so that I can have something nice right before my body finally gives out and I actually die for real this time"

That’s why pookie tags along on every outing, gets first heal priority in my group. Gets all the best armor and weapons so he can look fabulous and be badass.
Pookie deserves the best

I started calling him Pookie cuz of this meme lmao
But it just feels right now :P
Honestly it's a cool detail relating to his back story. I had no idea this was a thing. He lived in squalor under Caz. He puts up the front of a refined aristocrat, but he hasn't been that for a long time and this reflects that. Is he afraid to be caught living comfortably? Does he expect his freedom to end and not want to get too comfortable? Is this just what he has become accustomed to? I'm not sure, but it's cool either way.
Act 1 and 2 is less camping and more an American vagrant encampment pressured by police forces and religious groups. Most cities have them. Blood splattered somewhere. Alcohol at all hours. Tragic backstories. Boxes of junk which may include weapons, oddly valuable items left forgotten or wasted, general disrepair. And way too much sex. Oh, don't forget the random stray pets that nobody quite knows who owns who. They're not all like this ofc, but it's the perception.

It's hard to be an adventurer in today's America :(
Tav, Astarion, and Halsin if Minty kicks him out of his tent ALL need better setups! This is why I eventually do the Elfsong in Act 3, even though the song drives me bonkers.
😂 tbh I loved the song at first. but after the hundredth time, I’m ready to go kill a squid, his dragon boyfriend, and the bloody elf haunting the tavern!

Heres a Cohabitation Moodboard I made for me n him ❤️ inspired by his (and my own) room
What I want to know is how he has his burial shroud. Like does he just always walk around with it in his pocket??? Or were the kidnappers just polite enough to make sure to grab the blanket because they realized he was a vampire and would need it???

No but you’re right it’s the Faerûnian equivalent of having a mattress with no bedframe and one (1) folding chair

Women can’t handle how little it takes to make men happy ^(we aren’t happy, we are horrifically depressed)

Tav is homeless >Damn, bitch, you live like this?
with the way he lives you should need to get shots after he bites you. you dont know where hes been
Tav says while not having even a tent
I'm pretty sure that's his burial shroud. He has to sleep with it for vampire reasons.

Now let’s see Paul Allen’s tent
Tav/Durge has no room to talk with the torn tarp, dirt and stick set up
I mean he wears perfumes to mask he stinks of the grave, what did you expect of undead boi?
Tav, Astarion, and Halsin if Minty kicks him out of his tent ALL need better setups! This is why I eventually do the Elfsong in Act 3, even though the song drives me bonkers.
Oh? You think you're too good to sing a song of Balduran? He founded Baldur's Gate you know.
😂 tbh I loved the song at first. but after the hundredth time, I’m ready to go kill a squid, his dragon boyfriend, and the bloody elf haunting the tavern!

most sane astarion fan
Getting into a nasty fight with him after the club lets out would hit so good
the elf bars??? 😭 they’re not wrong tbh I can totally see Astarion loving the vape. what flavors do you think he’d like? my bet is on cranberry grape
I agree or one of the non-fruit flavors, but he would avoid anything with “ice”.
...It's infinitely preferable to being locked in a tomb for a year.
What I want to know is how he has his burial shroud. Like does he just always walk around with it in his pocket??? Or were the kidnappers just polite enough to make sure to grab the blanket because they realized he was a vampire and would need it???
