Idk who needs to hear this, but I keep seeing "reload every time Astarion disapproves" memes and felt the need to do a PSA.
Stop.
You don't need to. If you want to be a goody two shoes and help everyone ever and still get the guy, you can. Most of his approval/disapproval stuff counts for like 1 point.
There's really only a couple of major decisions that give the MAJORITY of his approval. And chances are, if you're romancing him youre going to be doing those naturally.
Im sitting pretty at exceptional and have been for two acts. My character argues with him constantly and annoys the hell out of him by helping people left and right.
All jokes aside, you can check your specific approval score by flipping over to the far right tab of the character screen. Your rating will be in () and you can see just how much youre gaining by torturing that bird and decide if it's worth it in the long run XD.
Rivals to lovers with him is so rewarding, don't fear the disapproval. Unless of course you're going villian/villian and in that case hats off to you.
“I don’t have kids. I’ve only learned through these characters how painfully vulnerable one becomes and how much your life depends on their life being OK. It’s a fun fantasy to fulfill, and I’ll play as many dads as I can get.”
All of these represent who I am as a person and what it’s like to talk to me on a day to day basis
#37 minutes of parent-child bonding time
Yeah, I'm fine

can you imagine joel’s emotional whiplash? he’s laying there shivering, preparing himself to die alone. only to have ellie run back to him, holding his hand and comforting him. the way he stopped shivering??? like for a moment he’s thinking it’s going to be alright. and then ellie pulls out that dusty ass unsterile needle and thread??? the look in that man’s eyes??? that was pure: “oh yeah no i’m gonna fucking die”
When you read a fic for smut and it turns out to be well written with a good plot.

I CONNECTED THE DOTS
Watching the "you can't swim?" "You think we have swimming pools in the QZ?" "No, smartass" scene and thinking about how later Joel is (potentially) going to spend entire episodes helping Ellie cross water she cant swim in and then (potentially) jump off a bridge to save her from drowning because he loves her so much 🥲
THESE PICTURES OF JOEL OMFG, THE MONSTROSITIES ID LET THIS MAN DO TO ME OMD
I don't know how else to be with someone. No matter how much I'd like to.
I used the photomode mod to take a look at Astarion's love confession scene. Normally, the camera is focused on Tav when choosing what to say.
These are the expressions Astarion is making off-screen while you are hovering over dialogue options.
