Was it love from first sight?

For you as a player and for your Tav/durge? I fell for Astarion from one picture on instagram, I knew nothing about bg3 back then, and I just knew I must to meet him! So I always imagine my character to be more or less like me- "oh who is that perfect stranger holding a knive to my throat? Thats the ONE for me, am sure, he must be" 😅😅😅 What are your stories? Am curious to know. P.S. sorry if flair is wrong, I didnt know which to chose, my first post here.
