I say it mostly because, in my head, her father would have held sexist views as well ( e.g. him wanting Mat to be the next leader and not Bella, although there are other reasons why he wanted this/he had other plans for her that he felt were more...fitting lol. Not benevolent or misogynistic, cus he loved his kids in his own way, but still). So if she even smells that shit, she might lash out a bit.

@Qia

I don't think she will experience that. Asterion isn't someone that is like "women can't be leaders!" And he wouldn't disrespect her for being a woman in power. He would be disrespectful if she showed no respect or care for him. At the end of the day, give or take, his basic foundations go off from respect. However, that being said, he definitely as a sprinkle of sexism in him.

Like he will be nicer to Bella or give her more leeway compared to someone like Zarek or Glyde or whoever.

I dunno if 'sexist' and 'kind' should be in the same sentence. I think Asterion is more of a traditionalist. 🤔

@Estylwen

I would say that you might be mixing up misogyny (hatred of women) with sexism. Sexism has broader definitions and even if Asterion's perspective/habits/beliefs are not necessarily bad. They would be categorized as a benevolent sexism which can still be very problematic even if they are not perceived in such a way. Favoring towards women. Versus malevolent or neutral sexism towards men.

If you look up benevolent sexism then watch Asterion's interactions. You might be surprised. 😂

<Snipped quote by The Savant>

I feel like once he meets Bella for the first time it might not go...exactly like that xD But perhaps I'm wrong/my understanding of him is wrong.

@Qia

We will have to see. Watch him kill her with kindness 😛 joking joking. However, asterion is a girl believer of respect. If respect is mutual. He'll be friendlier.

Ah, so that’s why he was so sweet with Hailey and Ayla.

@ERode

There would be a problem with Hailey. He sees her as a child. 😂 Maybe a little biased with Ayla. However, it has been stated. Asterion is sexist. He's gonna be kinder and gentle with females right off the bat. 😛

So basically someone who he can pick up and keep to himself for protective reasons of course :P

@Qia

Oh no. She can totally be capable of protecting herself if she so chooses. He just likes that appearance and aesthetic. But yes, he does enjoy being the protector and the lighter she is. The less of a hassle it is to carry her around even though he would be fine carrying most around.

A big chested nurse feeds asterion liquid food rp

@LanaStorm

No, no. It'll probably be him and Erik interacting then probably being informed about the war that's happening and maybe him ordering defenses. We will see. I'm gonna speak to Est about an idea I have too.

Also I feel like asterion appreciates subtle curves and petite and frail appearing feminity versus busty and large.

... Think of Audrey Hepburn and that's Asterion's type.

Hopefully gonna get a filler post out today. We will see.

<Snipped quote by The Savant>

oh so the whole "I have something planned for your characters" was a lie?

@Qia

I have... very vague and unrestricted plans. If they go that way, they go that way. If they don't. They don't. I might hint an influence here or there but nothing is truly a plan.

<Snipped quote by The Savant>

It's ok. I have nothing planned. I'm a go-with-the-flow kinda gal you know?

@Qia

I am a go-with-the-flow type of person to and that scares me more.

<Snipped quote by The Savant>

Baby steps then. Baby steps.

@Qia

What is that even supposed to mean? You know what... nevermind. Surprise me, I guess. I don't even wanna know.

@flux What comes next is:

@ERode

Asterion fully supports this and will 100% help Matthias accomplish this.
