I was reading one of your other posts about Astarion and you mentioned some things about his predatory instincts. That reminded me of something I thought of before in regards to Astarion's big approval boost if you let him bite the first time you have sex with him that I don't see get discussed much. Not only was he dealing with being forced to sleep with his victims, but he was doing it while being a starving vampire. He would have been struggling to keep control while getting up close and personal for extended periods of time with people filled with fresh blood on top of everything else, and then may have had to watch Cazador drink from them while he got his rotten rat as they "dined" together. Do you have any thoughts on this and the bite in the clearing?
Hello, and thank you for your message! Iâll try to answer as best as I can according to my understanding of the characters, and I hope it will help (and sorry for the many digressions!)
Thereâs quite a lot to unpack here, but Iâll try to be as clear as possible. Iâm going to put some links to some of my older posts and to quote myself, so if you havenât read those posts yet, Iâd recommend you discover them to better understand my opinion here.
The Urge to Feed, Cazador's command and self-control
I think thereâs something to be specified here: When Astarion was under Cazadorâs power, he could not bite at will. Even if he wanted to bite his targets, it was physically impossible because Cazador forbade it. Vampire spawns cannot go against their masterâs orders and will, and we know this was one of the rules:
In Astarion Origin, we understand that the bite night happens not just because Astarion is hungry (as you can see, he can go hunting beasts instead), but because he wants to see if he can go against his masterâs rules, if he can actually bite a thinking creature.
But indeed, once he stats to drink, after so many years of starvation + the ânaturalâ bloodlust of vampire spawns, itâs hard to stop. He has to âfightâ the bloodlust if he doesnât want to kill his companions. But before biting them he can easily decide to not bite them.
So what does it teach us? That without Cazadorâs power on him, Astarion can rather easily keep his fangs for himself, but when he starts drinking, itâs hard to stop. And I tend to believe that itâs something he has to learn, a form of self-control (which is at the core of this little fic of mine).
So when he was sleeping with people back then, he didnât âstruggleâ to keep in fangs for himself, because he simply could not use them. That said, it was probably extremely torturous, as you said, to be so close to a living creature and being unable to satiate his painful hunger.
Another thing: apparently Astarion couldnât watch Cazador drink on his targets; they were taken away and brought to Cazadorâs chambers (and dungeons) when Astarion was done with them, and Astarion probably never saw his master drink from them.
Which isn't very surprising since Cazador never "killed" the victims and didn't want his spawns to know about it. So he took the victims away and told them that he simply fed on them.
 Now there are several jars of blood in Cazadorâs study, so I wouldnât be surprised if the bastard filled his glass with humanoid blood while he âinvitedâ Astarion to dine with him . Another way to torture him indeed.
In that regard, the âdine together" is also interesting. In act 1, if the PC tells Astarion that from now one he will feed from them, Astarion uses the âdine togetherâ expression⌠Because here again, his diet remains controlled by someone else, or at least, thatâs how he may see it (even unconsciously).
It's obviously sad, especially since the PC cannot know all this at this point. They offer Astarion to feed in order to help him and make sure he's happy, and Astarion does his best to pretend he's ok with this situation.
But having to rely on someone else to feed must be quite complicated for him, whether he consciously acknowledges it or not. Hence his contradicted and conflictual relation to biting.
But beyond the ptsd of having to "wait" until someone let him feed, there's also a lesson on self-control here. I'm not saying it's easy for him, I'm just saying we can see that Astarion is capable of controlling his "urge to feed on people".
As I said HERE: âObviously heâd prefer to not have to rely on you to feed. Of course, he can still bite your enemies even if you told him he can feed on you, but thatâs a question of game mechanics. If the PC tells him he'll feed on them, they never explicitly tell him he can feed during the fights. [Fortunately, you can have your own headcanons about it, and fill the gaps with your imagination.]â
Another detail: Even as a feral, starving spawn he could still keep himself around rats and didn't ultimately jump on the rodents. In fact, when you read his thoughts during the bite night, you can see that it was his master's orders - That Cazador "commanded" him feed on the rats, whether Astarion wanted it or not.
He can even recommend the Gur children to try the rats- meaning that he suspects they didnât instinctively went for the rodents, although itâs clear that the children are torn by hunger, to the point that they canât focus.
To me, those two examples indicate that even starving and "feral" vampire spawns won't always eat whatever creature they can find: if they're disgusted by a stinky rat, they won't ultimately eat the rodent, no matter how starving they are. So they're still some kind of "self-control" at stake here, at least when it comes to beasts.
But I would add that it's still possible to keep control with thinking creatures too: Except for the bite night, which is, again, more like a way for Astarion to "test" his freedom than an urge to bite the PC, he perfectly controls himself around the companions. I'm not saying he's not struggling, but he can even joke about it and play with the idea in a rather light way during the "tasting party" discussion.
He's even hopeful for the spawns in the cells, explaining to Sebastian that they all can learn to control themselves around people.
And don't take me wrong: I'm not saying it's easy for a vampire spawn to "resist the urge" to bite people - there must be a lot of struggles here that Astarion never mentions during the game. After all, Chessa makes it clear that her hunger is so painful that she can't even focus, comparing herself to a "beast".
And I wouldn't be surprised if Astarion went through the same state as Cazador's spawns (especially during that year in a tomb - but not only). But when the adventure begins, he can easily hunt animals from day one, and so does he. Of course, feeding on animals doesnât give him the same strength and level of happiness, but it can still satiate him to a certain point. The bear's blood is strong enough to make him "drunk" after all, even if it doesn't taste as good as someone's blood.
He insists that the other spawns were not doomed to become a threat for the entire city - because he could learn to deal with his hunger, why could they not?
Now that they're free, there's no fatality anymore: it becomes a question of choice and personal responsibility.
Again, not saying there's no struggle in learning to control their "instinct" when a tender neck walks around - but it's clearly possible, and Astarion has proved it since Act 1. The vampire spawns weren't allowed to feed on people under Cazador's command, but they could feed on beasts - and yet, they didn't spend their nights hunting cats and rats. Beyond Cazador's command, there was also some self-control at stake back then.
The Hot vampire Fantasy and his conflicts with the act of biting
We also know that Astarion as a conflicted relationship to biting as a sensuous act. I already talked a lot about it here and here (I'd recommand you to read them to better understand my points).
On the one hand, feeding feels amazing, and if he trusts the PC and is attracted to them, there would obviously be something very enjoyable in this sort of intimacy.
But on the other hand, the act itself puts him in a position he struggles to appreciate: that of the hot vampire, a stereotypical role that turns him into some kind of walking fantasy, with people attracted to him for what he represents and not for who he truly is. A role he takes on more or less willingly during most of act 1 and a part of act 2, because he uses it as an asset, and also because he doesnât really know how to do otherwise.
As I explained in the posts linked above: when you discuss how you're going to keep him fed, heâs probably conflicted if you tell him he can feed on you (hence the absence of approval and of disapproval). In truth, heâs playing the âhot vampireâ, like he was taught to, because thatâs what Cazador expected from him. Thatâs maybe what some of his sexual partners expected too (even though he couldnât bite them back then).
When you tell him he can feed from you, he sees it as a sexual transaction: if he wants to feed, he has to indulge in a form of intimacy with you. BUT your character doesnât know it; at this point you have only very little information about his past and his torments. You canât know that he sees that way and he does everything he can to make you believe heâs happy with that option.
And the PC understands everything only in act 2, after the encounter with Araj: Vampires are sexy, being bitten by a sexy vampire is a kink, and he doesnât really feel comfortable about it. To him, it feels like being used, even if he gets something from it. In other terms, it's like prostitution, it's about giving you some sort of carnal pleasure, of physical intimacy, so he can eat properly. And he's struggling with that concept. In Act 2, he no longer wants sex to define him, for all the reasons we progressively learn about.
But in act 1, it's too early for him to really acknowledge that. Besides, he needs you to want him.
The first night in the clearing
Now, the clearing scene....I already talked A LOT about it here, so Iâll start with quoting myself:
âBut I believe that, as the night unfolds, he finds himself enjoying it.
Maybe itâs just me, but I tend to feel like heâs getting more like his playful and silly self when you let him bite you. Whereas if you trust him to not bite, he keeps on performing, in control, like he was told to do by Cazador.
If you let him bite you, you roll on the ground and he looks pleasantly surprised. And I think he starts to have fun here. And I think he can enjoy it even if he dissociates. As I said, the switch is automatic when the brain finds itself in a situation that represents some kind of danger or discomfort. For two hundred years, Astarion experienced sex in a way that was all but comfortable, sex he didnât really want. It makes sense that his brain automatically switches off. Even though heâs having a good time here, intimacy itself is a trigger, no matter how much heâs enjoying it. Itâs instinctive, just like flirting is instinctive to him, paradoxically.â
Now please, look at his different reactions to the PC's words about biting them.
Itâs clear to me that he kinda âlets goâ when the PC presents their neck, if only because they express a real trust in Astarionâs ability to control himself and they want to share this moment of intimacy with him.
At this point, he begins to trust the PC, and heâs surely attracted to them.
But that night is all part of his plan, and when the PC meets him in the clearing, heâs obviously wearing a mask: that of the seducer, that of the âhot vampire fantasyâ. But look at his face when the PC lets him bite them, and they roll on the ground: heâs surprised, and he looks genuinely happy with how the situation unfolds; and I believe it's not just because his plan is working. After all, if the PC doesn't offer their neck, he keeps on performing in a more "classic" way -> plan is still working.
But when the PC tells him not to bite, heâs disappointed and puts an end to the meeting. Why? Because with that remark, the PC makes it clear that they donât trust him. Heâs ok with the PC if they donât offer their neck, but if they warn him to not bite them, it not only creates a distance, but it also feels like the PC has no trust in him, considering him a âmonsterâ who needs to be kept on a leash.
Whereas, if they offer their neck, they prove him that they trust him (which is not only perfect for his plan, but I tend to believe that he might even genuinely appreciate sharing this intimacy with them, even if it's "tainted").
Of course, it doesn't keep him from dissociating (and I already talked at length about it in the post linked above), but I think it makes the experience much more enjoyable than what he expected. In any case, we know he sees this night as "special" and obviously enjoyable in spite of it all.
Did he compare his experience with the PC to the many experiences he had before with his targets? Probably.
Are there common points between them? Surely.
Is it so different because the PC lets him bite them? I wouldn't be so sure.
Although I'm convinced it makes the experience even more enjoyable for him, it's not that important for his general "plan" at this point.
After all, if the PC doesn't offer their neck during that first night, he doesn't disapprove, and doesn't put an end to the romance path. the neck offering simply allows him to believe that the PC trusts him - which explains the approval boost, but it doesn't determine how he feels towards the PC generally speaking. Don't forget how conflicted his feelings are when it comes to biting.
Now, are his "vampiric instincts" triggered by physical intimacy? Possibly, but that falls in the land of headcanons. If you want it to be a thing, it can - but there's nothing explicitly canon about it in the game.
And I do agree that it seem quite contradictory, since we also know how being the "walking vampire fantasy" bitters him. But Astarion himself is conflicted; for the first time in 200 years, he's free to decide for himself...
It makes sense to me that the man doesn't exactly know what he wants or how he feels about intimacy. That's why he prefers to take a break from sex after the confession scene. He needs to figure out what he actually wants to do with his intimacy - and it involves the intimacy of biting his lover as a kinky thing (that's why I like to imagine that from late act 1 and until the graveyard scene, he only bites their wrists when he needs to feed -> less intimate than the neck).
In any case, now that Astarion is free, it's also his responsibility to understand what he wants. That's what healing is about, defining his own boundaries and sticking with people who respect them. It's a long, chaotic path, with ups and downs. He'll probably make mistakes along the way, but those mistakes might also help him acknowledge what he truly wants for himself and his intimacy.
As he explains to his siblings, the choice is rather simple: Can you be more than what Cazador made of you (a staring, feral "monster", who uses their body to lure victims)? or can you become someone who is more like your "true self"? which implies, finding out who this "self" is, beyond starvation, beyond their "vampiric nature/instinct" and beyond the lessons Cazador forced upon them for so long.
Again, freedom means being responsible for yourself. That's why I'm not found of the idea of "infantilising" Astarion in his healing journey, even in act 1 when his motivations are questionable. Because that's also how he learns to find his true self, through mistakes and regrets, which ultimately lead to genuine apologies and open-hearted confessions: a first step in the rediscovery of his true identity, of his needs and feelings, without Cazador's shadows hovering above his mind.
So let's go back to the clearing: The PC "offers" their neck. They don't ask or command, they give him the possibility to bite. He doesn't have to. You can argue that he still feels like he has to bite them because he thinks that's what they expect of him, but the approval proves otherwise. You offer him to drink, he accepts because it feels good. It feels good to be satiated, it feels good to be trusted, and it probably begins to feel good to be with this person he begins to appreciate somehow....
Even if it's not all that clear to him at this point of the adventure.
I hope it makes sense! Feel free to ask if something's unclear đ
Okay, I'm posting something on this account for the first time in like, a decade to clarify what I meant by making this ask. No one follow me for this you're not getting anything else. And if anyone that followed me way back in the day is still around and didn't sign up for BG3 vampire content, sorry and keep scrolling
So, I did the original anon message. Thank you for answering, and I appreciate the detailed analysis! I think you misunderstood me though.
By "struggling", I didn't mean struggling not to physically sink his teeth into someone's neck. He can't even if he wanted too! I meant struggling to keep his composure and continue to act like a normal elf person that wanted to be having sex.
He mentions that in the worst periods of his hunger, he was "all but robbed of speech and reason". Even though he probably wasn't quite that far gone when he was picking people up, his thirst levels would have been made worse by being so close to someone. Imagine being starving and having to put your mouth on a steak?
Yes, Astarion has exceptional control for a vampire. I am pretty sure that this is how he got it.
He couldn't physically bite anyone. That doesn't guarentee that there were no times when he was a young starving spawn that hadn't developed that control yet when someone he was with suddenly saw him go feral and hiss at them, try to lunge forward but end up struggling against his own muscles contorting and constricting on him as his body just wouldn't physically let him do it (and yes, we have evidence in game that this is how the compulsion works). Or, even just suddenly go moody, or yank himself away from them or shove them off when he couldn't take it anymore and then have to try to recover. And what would Cazador have done to him for breaking the illusion?
I think Astarion got his control the hard way. From having to "keep smiling" through it over and over again, and discovering the consequences for failure.
Not only was he being forced into prostitution, but the act of going through with it would have been incredibly painful in the best of circumstances. Because he had to keep performing all while dealing with the hightened effects of vampiric thirst.
I think that Cazador did this on purpose.
The bite in the clearing
So...I kind of disagree with you on this one. I think that part of it definitely has to do with you trusting him, but the jump in approval is way to big for that. Especially because of his issues with the whole "sexy vampire" thing I think that by letting him bite you, in that specific moment, you are letting him act out a fantasy too.
How many times when he was with someone did he think about sinking his teeth into their neck? It was so close, he could smell the blood rushing through him. We know he dissociated. How many times did he distract himself with that fantasy, of being able to feast, not having that limitation on him.
So he goes into the clearing ready to act his part. Ready to perform like he always did. And for the first bit, he does. Then, suddenly, that warm neck is in front of him, and this time he doesn't need to hold back. You remind him that even though he's doing THIS again, Cazador's orders no longer work on him. That he has more power in this situation then he ever did before, and he no longer needs that control.

In the past I've often snickered at the setup in Cazador's mansion. Dude requires Astarion for the ritual, and the idiot seals the doors before his last sacrifice can join the party? Man, what a chump. Can't plan his way out of a wet paper bag etc.
But everything we know about Cazador suggests the opposite. This guy needs control. He plans everything, to the finest detail. Obsessively, even. So what if there's more to this door situation? What if Cazador is herding Astarion and/or his companions down a very specific route?
Think about where the party has to go to gain entrance. The kennel, where Astarion was chained up and tortured for days on end. They have to pass by the bedroom where he was used and abused. It's like Cazador wants to remind this wayward spawn of his proper place in the world, of his true worth â or rather, lack thereof. Worse yet, Cazador makes sure Astarion's newfound friends pick up enough clues to piece it all together, should he have tried to keep his shameful past a secret.
Then there's the "guard dogs". A new addition, Astarion tells us. Werewolves â who can make new werewolves by biting their victims and passing on their curse.
Now, vampire lords can summon and command wolves. What if that extends to werewolves? What if Cazador put these ones in the party's path in the hopes that Astarion's companions would get infected and turned into werewolves, so that Cazador could add them to his menagerie of mind-controlled servants? Not at the level of vampire or spawn, oh no. Something lower than that. Something more fitting for those who had the audacity to stand against him at the side of his own rebellious spawn.

The search is continuing for the child, who was reportedly last seen by her father, 37-year-old Wesley Mathews, at about 3 a.m. Saturday in the 900 block of Sunningdale in Richardson.
Her father allegedly told detectives he directed the girl to stand next to a tree behind the fence at their home after she wouldnât drink her milk. The tree is across an alley from the home.
Mathews reportedly returned to get his daughter about 15 minutes later and discovered she was gone, according to an affidavit.
The man was arrested Saturday on a charge of abandoning or endangering a child, and he was released from jail Sunday night on a $250,000 bond.

Some tips for those staying home to weather the storm [note: not everyone can afford to leave, or has anywhere to go to escape the storm. not everyone who stays lacks common sense, they just donât have the funds, the transportation [disabled, no car, etc.], or family + friends to go anywhere else]:
Take a shower now, then fill your tub with water. You might need that water later to flush your toilet.
Make sure youâve got an axe or something like it, because if you live in a low-lying area and the flood waters get into your house, you might end up needing to bust a hole in your roof to get out.
DO NOT SWIM IN FLOOD WATER. Flood waters carry sewage, diseases, toxins, and things like water moccasins, brown recluse spiders, floating ant beds, and more. It is not a pool.
Make sure you have extra batteries to power all of the things. Radios, flashlights, etc.
Make sure all of your devices are charged, and purchase charger packs if possible. Thereâs a high chance that we all lose power, and it could be out for weeks. Make sure your devices are able to last you for as long as possible.
Make sure youâve filled your gas tank.
If you live in a low-lying area, make sure all important things like legal documents, photographs, and electronics are up high. If you live in a two story, go ahead and put them up there.
Donât wait to evacuate until the last minute. If they say you need to leave, then LEAVE. If they havenât, decide RIGHT NOW whether to stay or not. You donât want to be caught out in the streets when they start to flood. Because they WILL flood.
A lot of hurricane/tropical storm/flash flood-related deaths happen after the storm has passed. People try to venture out into the waters and end up drowning. Make sure you have everything you need so you donât have to leave your house for a few days. It will NOT be safe.

When my mom told my Dutch grandmother that she and my dad were divorcing, my grandmother ordered a margarita (at Swiss Chalet) and then told her about women she had known who were spending their lives waiting to become widows
some people think that school food isnt all that bad and that weâre just whiny teenagers
u fucking get a rock solid jug of rotten milk then tell me that weâre just whiny teenagers
Our school would actually recycle pizza (it was pizza by definition only. However, it tasted and looked like cardboard with watery spaghetti sauce and the cheese youâd scrape off of a manâs ball-sack who hadnât showered since 1989). If you didnât eat the âpizzaâ from yesterday, theyâd put a layer of new cheese on it, bake it again, and serve it to you. One time, I swear they re-cheesed/baked a pizza for a straight week until someone actually ate it. They were never seen againâŚÂ If that sounds like Iâm telling you a horror story, thatâs because I am.
We had supposed french fries; it was legit very raw and cold potato fried in stale breading. Most of teh meat wasnât actually what they said it was and if you asked what was in something just in case cause of allergies or religious beliefs, they would actually fucking give you detention for hurting the lunch peoples feelings.
Supposedly, our school served âspaghettiâ which looked more like cooked up worms [not kidding, they did NOT look like fucking noodles bitches] and the sauce was more of this meatyâŚtomato juice concoction and the parmesian cheese? Thatâs a fucking joke, it was nothing but powder! No, not like the stuff you get at the stores I mean it was like one of those baby powder type of thing, thatâs how bad the parmesian was! Needless to say people got heartburn, and thrown up because of it. They still serve it.
IF YOU FIND ANY EXPIRED/ROTTING FOOD IN YOUR SCHOOL YOU TAKE IT TO THE PRINCIPAL AND DEMAND THAT THE FOOD BE REPLACED FOR HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS. IF THEY REFUSE TAKE THE EXPIRED FOOD TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THREATEN TO CALL THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.Â
My mother did this when I told her our school was serving expired milk- it hadnât even turned yet, it was only a few days older than the expiration date and the school GOT IN TROUBLE with the school district. After that they NEVER served expired foods again because the health department came down HARD on their asses. As an establishment providing food, they are required BY LAW (In America at least) to uphold proper health code violations. The school and even the school district CAN be sued if their food is proven to be unhealthy to consume and they do nothing about it.Â
So PLEASE donât just throw it away. TAKE THE EVIDENCE WITH YOU.Â
One time we found BUGS in our salad bar. Another time our chicken sandwich was Raw and another time they got the entier middle school sick off expired fish.
PLEASE be cautious if you are a minor in fandom spaces. Block without thinking, stop interacting if you ever feeling unsafe, and trust your gut no matter what. If someone is making you uncomfortable cut off contact. You owe them nothing. There is nothing wrong with only interacting with bloggers your age. With adding âDo not follow if you are over X ageâ and blocking those who ignore the rule.Â
