My Introspection To Astarion Romance As An Abuse Survivor
I really loved the good ending with Astarion. And I appreciated the fact that approval was so hard to achieve. Because Astarion was a complex companion whose personality is split between masking and hysteria. His dramatic attitude felt like borderline instincts, he had completely forgotten who he was before the abuse and so he was experencing his personality with toxic high and lows. I also loved the fact that there were so many options about "stay silent", "listen". The whole romance really helped me to heal because as an abuse survivor I was able to see my story within him and I got really happy there are so many people around the world trying to understand his character.
