I only call it poly for Halsin because thats what everyone else does and its easier to use the term.

I thought he was gonna be like the others, but just open to be in a threesome. That it was a fun silly option, nothing serious. Not that it was gonna be his whole character.

My whole argument is that Halsin isnt poly, never was poly. Poly is just the excuse, not the reason. Wether you want to call it poly/RA/insertanyothertermhere

Halsin is just treated like a side piece regardless. Hes not in a relationship with Tav/Astarion or Tav/SH. He just joins them for sex.

They only try to push this non monogamy for him because his whole "romance" was centered around him being a side piece and they have to try and justify it. It doesnt feel like a natural part of his character.

Kind of like the phone guy in SH3 when they did the HD collection. He diddnt have DID before, but he does in the HD collection. People dont hear a character with DID they hear people in an office making the decision "Wouldnt it be cool if this guy had DID"

Thats how Halsin feels for me. He doesnt, and has never felt, non monagamous. He feels like someone decided that for him after the fact.

He is not my side piece. He is my beloved.
