Dear diary, these are the reasons to love Astarion...
1) His appearance. Facial features, thick hair, a fit body.
2) He’ll look after you and keep you safe.
3) He never broke, even after all of Cazador’s torture. Pookie has such a strong spirit!
4) It’s never boring with him. Adventurous, playful, and outgoing.
5) His facial expressions are very expressive, ranging from sweet to cocky.
6) You’re the one closest to his heart. When you’re together, nothing else in the world matters.
7) His voice. His laughter. His intonations. Thank you, Neil.
8) He pays attention to his appearance and style.
9) He’s confident and persistent.
10) He’s a clown. Silly, sweet and adorable.
11) He's very experienced, so he knows exactly how to make sex enjoyable.
12) Faithful. After what he’s been through, he’s not interested in casual flings anymore.
13) He’s flirtatious, cheeky and teasing.
14) Because of his care and faithfulness, you feel at peace with him.
15) He inspires you to create. There’s beauty in him, in his pain and in his joy, like a living work of art.
16) His duality. He’s both a victim and a predator, a clown and a poet, a cynic and a romantic. You want to comfort him and love him one moment and kick him the next, because he’s such an dork. He isn’t perfect, but it’s that very imperfection that makes him real.
17) He doesn’t try to help everyone. I like that he’s honest about things like that. He’s not afraid to be cruel when it’s necessary, and he doesn’t pretend.
18) He’s very dramatic, passionate, and romantic.
19) He knows how to embroider. It’s really sweet for a man to have such a “girlish” hobby.
20) His body is smooth and graceful. There’s an allure about him that’s impossible to ignore.
21) Deep down, he’s incredibly sensitive. Behind the humor, the cruelty, and the bravado hides a delicate soul.
22) When he’s truly loved, he can be incredibly generous and kind.
