THIS IS JUST MY ITCHY LIL BRAIN, but Astarion's disdain for certain racial groups comes up a lot (and we talked about it together!!) I wanna know how that plays into their relationship, if at all.
Because she's so incredibly headstrong, I wanna know the THINGIES

What is Astarion’s favorite physical feature of Rav’s? What silly things make him think of her when they’re apart?

I love Astarion's and Bruno's relationship so much.
Also Astarion losing his mind because both Rae and Rav are failures at stealth for varying reasons.

both point to garbage and say "it's you" to one another.
Rav loves the fine lines on Astarion's face that only show when he's genuinely smiling. They're such a special treasure to her.
Astarion is fond of her off-key humming. He loves that she can even manage to screw up humming. It's used to

then semi-forcibly when he joins the Cannoli clan proper. 😂 Think Bruno ever gonna approve of a boy who can't knead dough? Nah brah.
Rav's stealth skills *do* improve thanks to Astarion's guidance (aka omg fucking listen RAV!)... she just refuses to use them. 🫣

Before they find a solution to Astarion's sun issues, Rav makes sure to close all of the curtains every morning before the sun comes too far into their home. She also feeds the stray cats every morning.
Astarion brings Rav snacks throughout the day. After a feeding sesh with a rough outcome one -

Paying a visit to the estate of a noble who had become a tyrant to the surrounding settlements, ending up having to... dispatch, shall we say, said tyrant, and then breaking into his (former) wine cellar and enjoying some time on his (former) balcony.
It was Astarion's idea but Gnash was into it.

I think that's a great point. Fenris *likes* Hawke, he likes things about him/her and I think you feel that. Astarion's affection feels unfocused to me, because there's so much range in who you could be that the game can't get too specific.

Went into Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous with no idea what to expect. Came out of it with a romance route on par with Astarion’s

Both him and Rae make sure each other are alright, explicitly so.
Often times their aftermaths turn into another run, too. And another.
There is no routine to Rae's & Astarion's aftercare though. They fall into place as they see fit, and try to give each other the greatest comfort. (4/5)

#tavqotd They lounge, they get into their robes and cuddle, they talk, sometimes they read together in silence, sometimes they read to each other, sometime Dirge just falls asleep in Astarion's arms.

precious sapphires.
It becomes one of Astarion's favourite possessions. Ever. For the tenth Day of Love Rae & Astarion spend together, Rae takes Astarion, unbeknown to him, on a ship heading for to the City of Delights, where the Day of Love originated.
They spend a month of indulgence there. (4/4)

In canon, it's Astarion’s honesty. That moment when his plan is in shambles and his mask is broken was when Mal found himself as down bad for him as he can possibly be.
Trust isn't something Drow give lightly. And Astarion gave him his without a second thought.

Well Halsin was the first to know, he actually informed Orya that she was pregnant to begin with (Druid things and such 😂) After that they told her father, who they found at this point, and Astarion’s mother, who he reconnected with!

What does Domi think of Astarion's and Ro's dressing style?
Do Vincent and Shadowheart practice any prayers, rituals etc. of one another's faiths?
Do El and Rolan have magic-related squabbles?

u can really tell the vast majority of neil fans just project astarion's traumatic backstory+personality on him which is funny considering he didn't get why astarion wouldn't want to do the brothel foursome pre cazador+called rolan stupid for "letting" lorroakan hit him. he's literally just some guy

They have had such a wonderful Valentine's Day! 💖
When they're not snuggled up at home, they like going out for dinner and dancing.
I couldn't resist this lovely ych from @brabblesban.bsky.social
A beautiful scene! They both look amazing!! Love how Astarion's outfit matches Florencia's too. 💕
