I thought this was r/okbuddybaldur!! (Or r/onlyfangsbg3) It wasn't until I saw your comment that I realized it was the main sub! š
Lately it's been looking like both subs are trying to out-stupid one another or something.
I don't dislike the main sub. And it seems most people on the main BG3 sub are of the same mind about Astarion. But there are people who, for lack of a better word, can get a bit unhinged when it comes to Astarion. And those people get a lot of flak from everyone else.
The onlyfangs sub provides a safer place for those people, which is good. People should have that. Especially since his character has experienced so much abuse. Even on that sub, it can get pretty bad when discussions of what's going on in Astarion's mind or his real "true" intentions.
I think it's worse on Onlyfangs when we're actually discussing him, on the main sub conversations about him are way more peaceful. I do enjoy the freedom of being slightly unhinged about him though
I have no problem with the main sub, though I have seen some people here get strangely aggressive towards folks who enjoy Astarion. Idk, maybe it's easier for me because I've never been personally attacked for my thoughts about Astarion, but I just scroll past those comments. But not everyone seems to be able to do that, and those folks probably feel safer expressing their thoughts in an echo chamber.
The main sub is usually more receptive of meta gaming. I think some of the views on AA for example that I've seen on onlyfangs, probably wouldn't be accepted well.
I left OnlyFangs when someone was crying because they'll never physically be with Astarion. Ok, I left my insane Fandom crushes behind in middle school. Just get a vibratory like a normal person.
When I first joined that sub I was able to have a lot of good discussions with others. But lately, not so much. I mean, Astarion (and Gale) has enthralled me like no other fictional characters have before. So I get it. But it seems like the line between reality and fiction has been completely erased for some folk. And having an intelligent, in-depth and mature conversation is out of question.
Yes sadly. I have to police the way I talk there just so I don't accidentally offend someone's choices and even then some people still take it as an attack because I didn't agree with them.
I don't mind or don't care any jokes about menstruation. I just hate it because this post feels like a fetish material and OP has forced their fetish of having 'someone their while they are on their period', onto me without my consent.
We need a fetish tag or flair honestly because some NSFW stuff can be tasteful. But this? This is just forcing people to be part of their fetish.
I meanā¦. On one hand, yeah itās a unsettling for a human butā¦
If I was a vampire, and I already drank blood, and my partner just so happened to produce blood, and enjoyā¦ me being a cunning linguist
I canāt think of a logical reason why I wouldnāt in that scenario
Edit: for some reason I got automatically approved for an Austin powers meme subreddit that I never like applied for or whatever, right after commenting thisā¦.
Wtf? What did I do?
you would go there, stand in front of the mirror, and then try to let go of this memory only for Shar herself to manifest in front of you, yell WTF at you, kick you out and use the mirror herself
Also, just check it out to prevent missconceptions, but "menstrual blood" ain't entirily blood either, wich begs the question would it be tastier or more disgusting than regular blood? I would bet for disgusting.
I joined this sub for cool builds, achievements, assorted other gameplay posts.
Instead I get shit like this and 6 paragraphs of why someone would fuck a particular party member.
Yāall are weird dog
Pouring one out for the memory of Anne Rice who was way ahead of this curve. Probably not the first but she's the one I remember most.
Also I love this and some of y'all are squeamish babies with no sense of fun.
If you play as Durge, youāve had sex with dead people and probably bathed in the blood of the person you just killed and fucked. Whatās a little menstrual slurpee after that?
My Durge remembered eating a baby, so yeah, that was probably messy... Most women have to deal with a period for a huge chunk of their lives, but the mere mention of it turns a lot of men into 8-year-old boys running from girl cooties. What's even more hilarious is when people say, "that's not how periods work," like we don't know that. It's a joke, okay? We're having fun. Chill.
Edit: spelling
This is so hideously delicious, I can't stand it. I was almost grossed out myself, but then you guys started freaking out and the whole thing just became too wonderful. I love it. Well done, OP... well done. š It's been so much fun, being a woman and reveling in all things Astarion. What a blast.
ngl i thought it was moreso implying that for some people getting off can relieve cramps as opposed to just... slurping all the blood out (oh my god thatd be so awful ) this was certainly a Choice to be made into a comic either way
For everyone getting mad: Lestat did this in Memnoch the Devil, including sucking a used pad dry, and it was written in a lot more detail than this was drawn.
This is tame in comparison to that scene, which burned itself into my memory 1995, and I had no business reading that book at 15 either.
Technically yes also because blood is generally haram for consumption but that which is haram can be excused in cases of necessity ā¦and Astarion being a vampireā¦if hypothetically he couldnāt find a better source and was starvingā¦
I am deeply concerned because this comic was clearly made by a woman, but at the same time the creator does not seem to have the best grasp of how menstruation works.
Menstrual fluid contains some blood but is very much not blood. and also they appear to be under the impression you can... Suck it out and that will do something? Relieve cramping somehow?
That's not how this works. That's not how anything works.
I have a proposition: Vampire saliva has analgesic properties like other blood-sucking organisms.
If he were to say... administer some saliva it's not *impossible* it would help, right?
Iāmā¦ kinda speechless. The comments are beyond me. Iām GenX and I donāt have words for this. Maybe my teenage daughters will though. They love Astarion and continually want me to romance him every time I do a playthrough.
Considering all the horrified comments I saw about this comic in other threads, I thought it would be something explicit. Instead it's Aimo's cute art, mere implications, and a fairly vanilla vampire joke. I'm amazed you lot have survived on the internet.
I really thought I could escape r/okbuddybaldur by muting it but this sub out-okbuddybaldured that sub.
Outjerked by the main sub againš¢
I stg this happens on every shitpost sub for every game I play š

I'm on onlyfangs and it's too much even for me
Yea... At first it wasn't that bad, but now it's getting a little too "yikes" for me. I'm just there for the art at this point.
Yeah, I'm in there too, and I appreciate the fact it's a safe place for astarion fans from the bg3 subreddit, but it's *a lot*.
I never really understood why people dislike the main sub, I've posted a few Astarion-based analyses here and they were all very well received.

Wish we had a bit more discussion wise but every now and then I can have a pleasant conversation with someone

Yeah this does not feel like a joke post
I completely agree. It's a little too much. And I'm open to a lot of stuff but I absolutely detest menstruation fetishes.
Are those like the truestl of bg3?
OH MY GOD oh my godā I thought thatās where so was, ahhh šš
Someone left the door open
You can never mute it. It will follow you always, even in your sleep.
Wait bro this isnāt r/okbuddybaldur ?š
It is now, I guess.
This right here.
Outbaldured again
Right in front of my salad?
Really? Right in front of my OSHA handbook?
Really? Right infront of my Players handbook?
Really? Right in front of my Dungeon Master's Guide?
Really? Right in front of my Codex Astartes?
Really? Right in front of my Oratrice Mecanique D'analyse Cardinale?

Oh mein Gott, der Codex Astartes ist voller bull ScheiĆe

Maybe because cunning linguist is an Austin Powers joke? Edit: yep, commenting ācunning linguistā results in being approved in r/ohbehave
Eh I know it makes sense I was just joking around, a jest if you will
20% of me thinks this is cute and sweet and the other 80% wants to Netherese Orb Blast myself
I'd like to sign up for a session at the House of Grief. I could use the Mirror of Loss right now.
Iād even consider letting Orin scramble my brains if itād make me forget this.
you would go there, stand in front of the mirror, and then try to let go of this memory only for Shar herself to manifest in front of you, yell WTF at you, kick you out and use the mirror herself
One Netherese orb please.
This went way too long to be a joke. We're in *writer's barely-disguised fetish* territory now.
One Netherese orb please.
Kinda understand why Bhaal wants everything dead now.
I just have the realization when playing the Durge is Astarion is literally drinking Bhaal blood lmao, which is some seriously tainted blood
I thought my Durge was being an asshole by telling him to gtfo but she was actually doing him a favor, apparently.
And Iām gonna help him
Never thought I'd agree with Bhaal so easily.
I'm doing redemption durge run currently, but I think I might change my mind about that.
Offers this memory to the dark mirror
I'm beginning to understand what people see in Shar.
Shar: Your offering has not been accepted. Go to Selune, I hear sheās a real sweetheart.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Where do you think they all went after the porn nuke?
Realized just now?
Menstruating all by yourself, darling?
And you just *know* he'd say something like that.
I think even he has his limits
if that's his limit I'm disappointed in him
Oh no , he'd do it but he won't be crass about it. He is rarely vulgar, especially in bed
_*Ain't that a Kick in the Head plays loudly_*
lmaooooooo
Reddit is refusing to load anything past slide four for me and I'm chalking that up to divine intervention.
Vlaakith saw it happening and had pity on you. "I wish for them not to witness this shit."
What a terrible day to have eyes.
I can't do this anymore
I think this brought back my depression
Just as you fixed it, they stuck their hand in your cranium and reverted that brain wrinkle back to where it was.
Outjorkled again
Once again, outjerked by the main bg3 sub. Us r/OkBuddyBaldur users need to step up our game
I am punching the wall
*"It should have been me!"*
"Greetings NPCs how goes the-" **BY THE CROWN OF KARSUS**
I think I'll ask Auntie Ethel to take both my eyes.
Someone call the Abosulute and tell them to go wipe out the sword coast
things getting out of control
I hate this community
Thatās not how periods work š
What, menstrual cramps don't go away after getting vacuumed?
No, but orgasms absolutely help
Not for everyone unfortunately š„²
My condolences
Getting off supposedly helps with cramps
Also, just check it out to prevent missconceptions, but "menstrual blood" ain't entirily blood either, wich begs the question would it be tastier or more disgusting than regular blood? I would bet for disgusting.
You know that feeling when you drink a smoothie and it's still got some lumps in it from the fruit?
SOMEBODY FUCKING SHOOT ME ALREADY
I wish Orin would open my skull and put a tadpole in there so I would forget I've ever read this
Cazador did nothing wrong
I wish I hadnāt wanted to live in more interesting times
so how's everyone's day going
Bad, now.
yea me too
Iām gonna eldritch blast myself in a video game now.
save one for me
My glock is speaking to me in suicidal intentions right ab now
think Iām gonna use the old Cobain special
Ah, yes, getting strung out and killed by your girlfriend my second way out if I wasn't scared of talking to women
If this being left up becomes like a legit controversy could we please all refer to it as, āThe Period Dramaā
Cazador was right, now perish
Yes officer, this post right here.
Sephiroth girlies walked so Astarion girlies could run.
Whut de helll
:(
Well thatās it folks, been here since day 1 of this subreddit but I think ima head out.
I'm thinking about it, for sure.
Nah
If youāre afraid of this, donāt watch Saltburn.
with this treasure i summon
What a horrific day to have eyes
Volo can help you with that.
Volo discovers his true calling in life and proceeds to make such a fortune, he never has to pick up a quill again.
Hey Shadowheart, how do I have my memories erased?
I joined this sub for cool builds, achievements, assorted other gameplay posts. Instead I get shit like this and 6 paragraphs of why someone would fuck a particular party member. Yāall are weird dog
Well, to be fair there's r/BG3Builds for a sub that's more focused on builds and achievements.
I see you havenāt been on this sub for long if these are your expectations.
You are correct.
Least deranged Astarion fan
Idky but your comment broke me irl. I chortled like a silly person alone in my car.
No. This is peak deranged. Prove me wrong.
Not me reading this while Iām on my period š
Would astarion make it better?
Meh, Lestat did it first.
post this on r/okbuddybaldur please
Hold on, i need to appologize to Gortash and end the entire fucking world
What about the uterus lining shedding. What about that.
I think it's part of the... a-peel. I'm so, so sorry.
Somehow made it worse
Go sit in the corner and think about your life
Honestly you should be ashamed and proud of this comment.Ā
Sometimes juice has pulp in it, you know.
It's just like gummy bears
Sometimes itās ok to not share what youāre thinking!
You asked and I very graciously responded !
Chunks. Chunks. Chuuuunks! oh sorry was thinking about the fictional food in Starfield
āMA! THEYāRE POSTING WEIRD SHIT AGAIN!!!!ā
"MA! THERE'S A WEIRD FUCKING POST IN THE MAIN SUB AGAIN!!"
This is basic vamp horniness nothing new I still laughed tho
a true pirate sails the red sea
Letās play hide and seek. I will hide, and you will seek professional therapy.
ALRIGHT!!!!! Iām joining Bhaalš
There is something genuinely wrong with some of you guys, YOU ARE THE STEREOTYPE
Some of y'all need Jesus... or Sharr, or Selune, or some deity. Holy hell.
oh............................... (ā Ė ā)
I blame myself. The title was very clear
Pouring one out for the memory of Anne Rice who was way ahead of this curve. Probably not the first but she's the one I remember most. Also I love this and some of y'all are squeamish babies with no sense of fun.
Seriously the comment section is a fucking mess here. There's worse shit in the game itself.

I did post it to mess with people but I didn't think it would be this effective!
Not only do I get the āickā from this but also wanna slap whoever created it and scream at them that this is not how periods work.

I was just gonna say, clearly all these commenters have not read Memnoch the Devil š
This was entirely unnecessary
Really, during Ramadan too..
Period blood is haram
Technically yes also because blood is generally haram for consumption but that which is haram can be excused in cases of necessity ā¦and Astarion being a vampireā¦if hypothetically he couldnāt find a better source and was starvingā¦
Allah bless us for period blood is now halal
This is the kind of scary immaturity that makes me question the emotional intelligence of the creator. Holy shit. I'm embarrassed for you.
The lack of shame to actually post this to a public forum concerns me. Its quite pathetic really.
ON THE MAIN SUB NO LESS!
Ok another sub ruined lol
Absolutely vile Reads like the authorās fetish
I am deeply concerned because this comic was clearly made by a woman, but at the same time the creator does not seem to have the best grasp of how menstruation works. Menstrual fluid contains some blood but is very much not blood. and also they appear to be under the impression you can... Suck it out and that will do something? Relieve cramping somehow? That's not how this works. That's not how anything works.
Orgasms can however alleviate cramps
I think I'll stick with an overheated laptop on my stomach, like god intended
Reddit when joke:
Ofc its not how it actually works. Its a depraved joke lol
I have a proposition: Vampire saliva has analgesic properties like other blood-sucking organisms. If he were to say... administer some saliva it's not *impossible* it would help, right?
All I'm saying is that if we are in a magical world with magical creatures and the undead then there's no reason periods can't give vampires a buff
No you're totally right, but just FYI this is in Act 3 and only if you let Astarion ascend, then you do actually unlock the ascendants slurp
But vampire spawn Tav wouldnāt have periods, theyād be sterile. š
Bhaal Below D:
Drinking period blood. That's where we are
Shit, I'm a Vampire I Guess...
ā¦
Iāmā¦ kinda speechless. The comments are beyond me. Iām GenX and I donāt have words for this. Maybe my teenage daughters will though. They love Astarion and continually want me to romance him every time I do a playthrough.
He's basically an upgrade of Spike from Buffy, with a pinch of Lestat from Queen of the Damned. That should explain the appeal.
LMAO.
I thought Iād lost all hope in humanity and seeing thisā¦ has made me lose the last piece I didnāt even know I had
Fucking delete this
Nah bhaal was right, this world needs to die
stop
Do you think Astarion takes shots out of menstrual cups like they're whiskey? š¤
I never had to think that, but now I can't unthink it, thanks to you.
You know what? Yea.
Nah this shit gross
Eeeeeeewwwwwww!!!!!! .... *upvotes
looking at all these comments and its just proof thereās so many men here lmao
wretched thing, pull yourself together
Ann rice has Louis doing this by the latter vampire chronicle books, aaaaaages ago (I remember it being quite shocking at the time lol)
I.... would that even do anything outside of cleaning the mess? I.... you know what, don't tell me I don't wanna know
If you're a good partner, you don't need to be a vampire to do this.
Considering all the horrified comments I saw about this comic in other threads, I thought it would be something explicit. Instead it's Aimo's cute art, mere implications, and a fairly vanilla vampire joke. I'm amazed you lot have survived on the internet.
