My wife and I have been discussing Ascended Astarion and how the fandom seems to view him (since she recently ascended him in her durge run) and here are some main points:

He's pretty cringe and edgy

He seems to have lost braincells along with his soul

He's different than a true vampire, so we can't fully base all his actions on that lore

Outside of bg3 there seems to be no records on what an ascended vampire is in DND lore (from what we've found)

Even so, for true vampires it says that their love turns into obsession (debatable to us if this is a good or bad thing. We love obsession)

He does turn you into a vampire and we're confused as to how people seem to think he doesn't (he bites you and let's you drink his blood)

People are allowed to love AA

#cherry chats #bg3 #astarion #ascended astarion #baldur's gate 3 #ofc we haven't finished the whole druge route yet #but i do agree with her that a lot of the fandom seems to be so set ln hating people that like aa #you can decide to not like aa #i def prefer spawn astarion #but i can see the appeal #also yhis is just about his romance kinda
