Comments like these are sad to read. This was supposed to be a happy patch!
Finally signed up just to say thank you for your comments and thoughts. It's so important not to feel alone in this. Every time I see people cheering for making Astarion even more abusive to Tav I just lose my mind from heartbreak. I can't understand people hating their fellow fans so much. This update indeed was supposed to be a joyful experience, not witnessing re-writing the favourite character on the go to turn him 180.
Thank you again. -hugs-
Awww, thank you too! We are definitely not alone in this!

Since I mentioned Haarlep earlier... I just remembered that if you go through with the whole ordeal with him, AA is actually sorry for Tav and feels bad about their bodily autonomy being violated. But now, when the abuse comes from him it's fine.
