KINK LIST
astarion
this is just a short selection of ic character preferences (including some headcanon). some of these contradict each other because he is a contradictory guy! if you want to know whether or not it's okay to offer or include a kink, i have a more comprehensive list of what i will/won't write. Turn-ons: Power; cunning; intelligence; good looks; violence; people who assert their own agency in the world especially if it involves breaking the law or ignoring taboo; morbid jokes; cruelty; gossip; luxury; nobility; pampering; blood. Astarion also loves being complimented, praised and prioritized. Turn-offs: Poor hygiene; anybody boring or meek; insults to his appearance; infringing on his autonomy; eating noises; callow youth; children in general; fetishizing the vampire thing.
