the concept of Lae’zel and Wyll basically teen-parenting gith baby Xan is both the sweetest and funniest thing I can imagine

Yes, Astarion made a living out of lying to people. But he is not charismatic. This acting and lying does not come naturally to him. His facade falls apart the moment you poke at it even a little (he is soooo blatantly using Tav in the first act of the game, he's trying to be subtle but failing at it so so badly. He can't even lie about the boar he ate convincingly!)

Wyll, even though he might seem a little dorky at times, is genuinely a delight to be around. He's endearing! He makes people laugh!

Fanon: Duke is an inherited title.

Canon: Dukes are elected in Baldur's Gate.

Fanon: Astarion is sleeping.

Canon: Elves (and drow) don't sleep — they go into a trance.

Fanon: The Weave is the source of all magic and Mystra controls all magic.

Canon: There are many different kinds of magic and the Weave is only one of the many mediums (albeit the biggest and most reliable one) that allows people to channel arcane energy. It's not a source; it's a channel. Many wizards and many more spellcasters who aren't wizards can cast magic without ever having anything to do with Mystra.

Fanon: Baldur's Gate is supposed to be an awful city filled with crime, corruption, and murder. (Comparisons to Dragon Age 2's Kirkwall).

Canon: Baldur's Gate is not meant to be any more corrupt or evil than the rest of the Sword Coast. It is the biggest, wealthiest, and most diverse because it controls all trade passing through the Chionthar. Because of its size, location, and diversity, its flaws are magnified compared to similar cities such as Waterdeep, but it is by no means especially more cursed or violent. There are plenty of murder cults in other cities as well.

Fanon: That Strange Ox is so cute uwu

The number one thing I was most worried about was that he would be resentful or bitter about his choice. I mean, he gave up the chance to walk in the sun, to eat food, to be as close to human as he could, to be more than what Cazador made him.

But...no. He mentioned not being able to walk in the sun like once. In a sort of "well that fucking sucks but oh well" kind of manner. The way he spoke to Tav was so...bewildered, like he was breathing for the first time. He truly felt relieved that he didn't go through with the ritual. He truly admitted that it was a moment of complete lust for power that was teetering towards madness. And right then I have never regretted my choice.

He's so ready to tackle life's hurdles as a mere vampire spawn because he's doing so as a free one, with the person he loves right by his side. Struggling is part of living, and as he said to Tav, he wants all that life has to offer.
