Shadow love

best choice? give Shadow the Moon lantern

Shadow talking to a mindflayer

If you ever romanced both you know Astarion doesn't exactly say no (to POLYAMORY with Shadow), just "I am scared she will hurt me (phisically)" which Shadow would never do (based on multiple good runs) and Shadow says "you don't understand how fragile he is" which to me means it's not a no but a judgment and at the dame time SHE PROVES SHE CARES ABOUT HIM. I so very much would like a console mod to have the option to talk to them like, to Astarion "you know? Shadow is always so sarcastic but she cares about you and NO she aint violent PLUS she is a classic romantic which WOULD NEVER start anything with sex, she takes it slow" and Astarion craves to be cared for, and, in Act 2, to take it slow. So, I really wish I could be like "you two dumbasses now talk it out. Y'all stop using sarcasm and TALK" and I don't know I think they are even better then TAV x anybody like, they both are flirty with each other in Act 1 and in Act 2 they are both in a "take it slow/really romantic phase".

I am more of a third wheel here actually I am strating to think they should be together, problem is? If you start as Shadow (as an origin) I guess you would have to say yes to strating it off with sex (too out of character).

I ship them a lot.

In conclusion, they would need somebody to go "stop it with the sarcasm" and,you know, at least they should slowly become the best of friends.
