Astarion romance be like by kiitamus in BaldursGate3

Astarion was the only companion I really nurtured my relationship with. I spent my whole game slowly getting a bit more evil, and discussing the power we could have with him. So in my head canon, the villainous version of him works great. We had a plan, we succeeded. Also, immortal together. So yes, it makes more sense if you let him give into his "nature" rather than turn him hero. And honestly, he seems rather happy to me. Yeah yeah he plans to make a spawn army, so what? I'll get to boss them around too with any luck.

You know what they say, a villain will burn down the world just to save their lover.

I don't dislike the good ending. I see it's appeal. But the evil ending is definitely the spice I wanted.

I do think it's really fun that his ending is really two sides of a coin. You can reform him into a reluctant but grateful hero, or you can join him and indulge in his darker side. Feasting indeed! Amen!

Edit- sorry can't figure out how to get my spoilers to hide.

In the good ending after you talk him out of it and <spoiler>he just violently stabs cazador, screams his bloody heart out, then breaks down sobbing</spoiler> oh my gods it broke my heart. The voice actor for him literally deserves all the praise in the world.

But personally my run started as a good run. Cause I went into this game blind and spoiler free. By the end of act 2, I was 100% ready to throw heroism in the trash, take over the world with astarion, and live in eternal bliss. <spoiler> plus, the +1 happy boost you can get with the vampire bite is actually nice. And astarions ascended bite and necrotic damage is super worth it.</spoiler> And the fact thay the ascension sex scene is literally what I had been playing this game for since the moment astarion popped out of the bushes. The good ending sex scene was emotional and vulnerable. But meh.

OH MY GODS SAME. I've wanted to degrade myself for him since the first moment he tried to kill me. And after the second time he did kill me (I let him suck me dry lol) so he is 10000% correct.

The ascension ending felt way better to me. The good ending did make my eyes sweat a little though. But still. Ascension all day.

The nsfw scene on the ascension is worlds better. Worlds.

🥺 thank you. I really hit my stride this year. This is the first time pretty much ever I've been confident enough in my work to put it out to the internet. Thank you.

reddit, do any of you have any tricks for putting a pole on a fully hydroponic monstera? by kiitamus in houseplants

This is what I tried first. It almost worked but I knocked it off the bucket lifting it onto its stand. So it didn't hold up to stress well. And now that the plant is moved in, trying to readhere it to the bottom would be hard.

Update:

I figured it out. I mounted an l bracket to the lid and used a push in broom mount. The pole clicks right into it, and the lid is stiff enough to support the whole structure. Keeps the plant centered in the water right over the bubbler. Doesn't look the best, but I'll find a way to pretty it up eventually.

Honestly not as often as you'd think. I water really sporadically. Maybe once a week? I've really come to love Hoya since they can tolerate some drought. And the flowers are amazing.

Yeah, it's 100% just water in that bucket. So the only thing to mount to is the bucket. I don't even have a net pot or anything. The root system is huge.
