🍄‍🟫The whole tadpole problem forcing Alister to be in close proximity to other people and to rely on them was probably the best thing for him. He learned to interact with people, and was able to make deep, meaningful relationships with them (both platonic and romantic). He’s more sociable now

You know who I’m gonna suggest😂

intentionally used it a few times to share his goal dreams with Astarion (once they were official). He’d always end up showing more than he meant to, but Astarion found it to be sweet.

mistreated. When he starts to sleep with Astarion every night, the nightmares lessen, and now he only gets them occasionally.
🍄‍🟫Alister’s tadpole would on occasion share a nightmare or two with the whole camp, but they were always polite enough to pretend it didn’t happen. He has also +

where his canon is now, he’s achieved two of those goals, with the first one looking like it’ll some day be achieved as well. As for literal dreams, Alister typically has nightmares. He can never really remember them, but they tend to be distorted versions of real memories he has of being +

verbally “spar” with each other by picking targets in a tavern and seeing who can manipulate their mark into doing a set task the fastest, but that’s done more for entertainment than for training😂

allies are people he truly cares about, if it seems like a battle is turning for the worst Alister will have no problem flying away to save himself.
🍄‍🟫Despite Karlach and Lae’zel’s best efforts, Alister refuses to spar, as he finds no joy in it. Occasionally, he and Astarion will get drunk and +

get himself out of any situation he’s gotten himself into. When combat is unavoidable, he’ll hover in the air or on the outskirts of battle in order to avoid being hit, fighting almost exclusively with ranged spell attacks, and swooping in close to heal only when absolutely necessary. Unless his +

You know I always support sexy😂

🍄‍🟫Alister didn’t really get many “treats” as a child. The way he’d treat himself is to fly up to the roof to spend time alone, flying and dancing in the air to “play” with the stars

Yes! Though he’ll often try to hide it, like his (not so) secret plushie collection

Alister and Astarion have a big age gap (around 115 years), but mentally speaking I think they’re very similar.

the age of 10, Alister had to start acting like an adult at a young age. There are times where he very much seems like an old soul. However, being forced into adulthood early can also stunt you in some ways, so there are also times where he can be very petty and immature😂.
🍄‍🟫Physically speaking +

scared most of the party, but Astarion and Karlach both weren’t shocked. Poor Karlach had to burn her hand holding Alister back so that Astarion could kill the bastard himself. Now it’s something that Astarion knows to look out for, and can almost always stop it by holding Alister’s smoking hand❤️

just wait until he’s burned himself out, and deal with the ashes and consequences later.
🍄‍🟫The camp starts to suspect when Alister’s fingers began to smoke a little when talking to the Gur hunting Astarion, Araj, and Gortash, but there wasn’t full fire until the fight with Cazador. It kinda +

in the form of fire, usually only covering his hands, but it can grow to cover his whole body if he gets out of control. If the situation is bad enough he’ll go animalistic, burning and tearing through the offender in a murderous rage. It’s hard to get him back when he’s fully lost it, it’s best to+
