I joke that one of their love languages is "bothering" each other, which probably counts as PDA. Astarion usually initiates it by poking Dandy's cheek or booping the tip of her nose until she glomps onto him in revenge like an adorable Hobbit-sized koala. 2/2

Dandy's a big fan of hand-holding. Unless otherwise occupied, she & Astarion are either linked at the arms or playing with each other's hands, sometimes both.
They don't make a habit of anything beyond that b/c even Lae'zel made fun of them for being too chaste. 1/2

So I just found out that LilyPawStudio has a new keychain plush.... It's an adorable purple bat named *drum roll* #BittyBat! Is that not perfect?! I think I might have to get him.

#Tavember Day 14: Trade
Music is Dandy's trade! While her sisters have trades with physical wares to sell (painting & ceramics), Dandy peddles in illusion-tastic light shows accompanied by lyrical verse & charming stage presence!
She can also bake though she's never done it professionally.

One side of Dandy is a fairytale princess who loves to sing so sweetly that forest creatures gather to listen.
The other side of Dandy can be angry. Very, very angry. She can and has sung so sweetly that it took a man's breath away... literally... like wrenched it from his lungs...

2 Truths and 1 Lie: Can you guess which is which? :D
💗 Astarion sometimes hides things in high places so that Dandy has to ask him to get them back down.
💗 Dandy and Astarion weren't physically intimate until their honeymoon.
💗 Dandy threw a shoe at Astarion's head at the Grymforge.

#Tavember Day 12: Sociable
Dandy is incredibly sociable. She makes positive acquaintances very easily. Part of it is from Halfling conviviality, & part of it is from natural gregariousness. She thrives when she's the centre of attention, but, b/c of BG3, she's seen the downside of that.

Okay, okay, nobody panic! Breathe! The book is here! I'm going to be live-reacting to it as I read by replying in this thread and will be using the tag #ABOHSpoilers for those who wish to avoid being spoiled.

#Tavember Day 9: Treat
The answer to all of the above is BOUQTHI (sweet rhubarb pastries common among the Hin)! Authentic bouqthi are rarely found outside of Luiren, and Dandy will eat a dozen or more if nothing distracts her, especially if it's her mom's recipe.

Fionn, Dandy and Astarion's son, is an alchemist and artificer with a fondness for carnivorous plants. His favourite is a highly aggressive specimen that he's raised since he was a child. It really is a miracle he still has all his fingers.

#Tavember Day 8: Age
Dandy is about 50 years old during the events of BG3. The genes of the Hinfolk are very kind, so, much like Frodo in LOTR, she's a 50 year old who could be mistaken for someone much younger. Her physical and mental ages are on par. She's seen some shite in her time. 1/2

#Tavember Day 6: Self-Image
Dandy has a very strong self-image. What you see is what you get: She tries to be as genuine as possible (people are wary enough of Glamour bards as it is). She doesn't see herself as a hero; she wants to be seen as a good samaritan and tries to live up to that ideal.

Eventually, Dandy's going to get to be a mom to two li'l dandelion puffs. She's spent most of her life in a "big sister" role, so the reality of parenthood is going to an adjustment. However, she's got a lot of love and patience in her heart that make her a natural nurturer. 2/2

#Tavember Day 5: Mother
Dandy's mother, Daffodil, is a bit like Mrs. Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, except she's much less "Get my daughters married!" and much more "My daughters must have financial independence!" Overall, they get along very well -- it's a healthy, supportive relationship. 1/2

Astarion makes jokes that Dandy only has 1 hairbrush (which he views as wholly inadequate, given that he has like 5), but she has to spend way more time doing hers just because of sheer volume. "Wash Day" for her hair is more like a day and a half with drying time. 2/4

Obligatory MST3K quote: "Body-care and Grooming: They're Cops."

The new DnD Forgotten Realms books (Heroes of Faerun and Adventures in Faerun) were delivered EARLY! Oh my gosh!
It's going to be about another week before the digital add-ons (Astarion's book) will be out, but I am excited to read these and see what secrets they hold!
