"There are things in our nature we might unwittingly pass on, yes. But, I do not believe them stronger than the things we choose to pass on. If you are asking whether love and joy are beyond you, just because of the taint in your blood... No. they most certainly are not."

one of my favorite games of all time is baldur's gate 3. *warning: spoilers ahead*
i have been playing since early access days 2021/2022. i got it just for fun since i like d&d n rpg games, n to mess around in the character creator in. little did i know what a huge impact it would have on me.
by far my favorite playthrough of the many i have done was going on the dark-urge-resist/romance-unascended-astarion journey. there is so many things to gush about with this game, but this specific run hit me in a very vulnerable n personal way.
to me, resisting the dark urge, n redeeming astarion n convincing him to not ascend was drenched in themes of generational trauma/abuse n breaking harmful patterns.
this is going to be a long post so i will try to organize sections into cuts for the sake of condensing
