Spawnstarion

Gods, I would love a DLC where we get to find a cure for Spawnstarion. I need that. Until then my headcanon must suffice.

Resist Durge and Spawnstarion is the best romance experience of this game.

2024 February 1, deleted_account, Reddit:

I find it incredibly sweet and I have Spawnstarion repeat that line a lot to my Tavs lol.

2024 March 10, somethingaboutme, Reddit:

(Baldur's Gate fandom slang) The vampire spawn version of Astarion from the video game Baldur's Gate 3.


Wyllstarion

Wyllstarion is like crack to me. I wish it was more popular.

2024 April 30, Passenger_Prince, Reddit:

I ship Wyllstarion hard. Astarion would make an amazing duchess.

2024 June 16, Healthy_Breakfast_24, Reddit:

I’ll take those Wyllstarion fics if you don’t mind 👀

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Wyll Ravengard and Astarion Ancunín from the video game Baldur's Gate 3.


Bloodweave

Blend of blood + weave, referencing Astarion being a vampire and Gale a wizard (the Weave is a source of magic in Forgotten Realms lore).

Gotta love some tender Bloodweave.

My favourite part of bloodweave is they can either help fix each other or be ambitious lil shits together.

2023 May 17, ferretatthecontrols, Reddit:

Just play as Gale, then you have no choice but to choose someone else (I recommend Astarion for Bloodweave goodness.)

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Astarion Ancunín and Gale Dekarios from the video game Baldur's Gate 3.

humie

From human + -ie, originally popularized by the Warhammer franchise, where the word is used by the "ork" race to refer to humans.

The orks and "goblins" of the WHFB world do not have any advanced technology, and are in fact even more backwards than the primitive humies on the planet.

1997 July 7, P. Troy Routley, “40k comes b4 FB... PROVEN!”, in rec.games.miniatures.warhammer (Usenet):

A lot of times she doesn't even seem to care about pets. Just wants her humie nearby to sit with and watch the deer. Some people wonder if cats actually love anyone but I know my Loaf loves me someone fierce. She's my fuzzy adventure companion.

2022 December 11, @wizardofcause, Twitter:

There was a time my friends and I did a fantasy race quiz. One got elf, one got dragon, one was an incubus, and I was the sole humie. At first I was disappointed but then thought “In a fantasy world I’d be pals with three immortal beings of incredible power as a dude.” And smiled

(fantasy, slang) A human (especially as opposed to a different sapient species).
