Me: Astarions romance is amazing. Itās about reclaiming bodily autonomy and discovering your worth beyond what you can do for others. Itās about finding intimacy in emotional connection, then discovering how that emotional connection can let you enjoy sex, rather than forcing yourself through the motions of two bodies mushing together. You can be more than your worth to others, you donāt have to live on your flight or fight instincts, and you donāt have to provide pleasure to āearnā love. It is ace friendly and deep and exactly my jam, exactly the kind of sex/intimacy exploration I would write for myself.
My brain: yeah cool anyways weāre gonna write Gale fic
