Astarion 3, a quick poll
- The Vampire Ascendant 13
- A Loved One Saved 26
Hello everyone! This is a special little poll for something I'll be working on in my off time.
I'm sure you're all at least partially aware of my two audios around Astarion, the ever-loveable vampire twink of Baldur's Gate 3. It's time for part three.
In line with how the game lets you decide, there are two ways to take this final act of the story. I'll explain in detail for those of you not too familiar with the game, and give you an idea of the tags that'll be in either audio.
Option 1: The Vampire Ascendant.
In this audio, the 'bad ending', Astarion's story takes a dark turn as he becomes a 'Vampire Lord', an evil reflection of himself who digs into his own worst instincts and becomes controlling and demeaning. The hints of genuine romance in the previous two audios are replaced with showy possessiveness and a feeling of superiority on the behalf of Astarion.
This audio would be heavily MDom leaning, the listener would be a lesser vampire under Astarion’s thrall, and there'd be lots of feeding, as well as a general feeling of corruption and toxicity in the relationship. While the narrative's grim, it's certainly the kinkier option.
Option 2: A Loved One Saved.
In this audio, the 'good ending,' the narrative will basically be focused on an odd domestic bliss. Astarion is once again vulnerable to the sun, but he and the listener are making do as he comes home to her after night has fallen. There’ll be a touch of humour around things like matching up sleep schedules, a bit of back and forth on the ups and downs that have faced them so far, followed by some genuine lovemaking and adoration.
TL;DR: Option 1, corruption, possessive MDom, lots of feeding, pet names, physical but not loving
Option 2, romance, affection, lovemaking, a bit of feeding because you deserve a treat, body worship, simple but loving
Just to clarify, I'll be doing these steadily in the background while my normal upload schedule continues alongside it, regular poll will be up on Wednesday. They'll come out on a "when they're done" basis, but I'll be taking your guys' ques on which one to do first. They’ll both be done eventually.
