#Gale is fascinating I want to study him under a microscope

[agentwashingcat]

The point where Gale's act 3 romance scene became less about talking him down from his wizard hubris and more about assuring him that you love him as the mortal man he is rather than the god he could be came for my throat like

you think being with Mystra left him with some insecurities because I think being with Mystra left him with some insecurities

your take on butler's acting is baffling. what is even more baffling is how you can be so into clegan despite that insane take. how do you do it, i'm morbidly curious. oh and how can you bear turner & butler's friendship, as an avid turner fan and butler hater? those two love each other, doesn't it crush you? i want to study your contradictions and defence mechanisms under a microscope, they're truly fascinating in a slightly nauseating way

I dont hate him as a person I just don't care about him? he can't act for shit and I complain about it here because I won't stop getting asks about it it doesn't consume my every waking moment I licherally don't think about that man except when he's right in front of my eyes on screen? or in a ask im getting lol why would it crush me? I'm a well adjusted (well. in certain areas anyways. in THIS area for sure) adult human being why would I give a shit if two actors are friends??? we are all real people in real life lol also I just pretend gale masters of air is so deeply repressed he can't show even the slightest emotion ever. just completely dead inside shit to protect himself and them. hes doing health ledger in brokeback mountain just. really badly to me. plays into my cards perfectly. idk why yall are having such a hard time with the concept lmao

Feed my BG3 hunger.

I wanna know for those playing with CustomTavs that will romance someone in the game, who are they wooing? And why? How do you imagine their dynamic? In tags or reblogs are fine! I'll start;

Delight- Warlock, Tiefling, Criminal

I literally cannot unsee her romancing Astarion.

Their pasts just line up and mirror so well, as do their current situations, and while she's not outright cruel she's definitely not a Good Guy. She finds him funny and over the top, and is entertained by his poor lying but drawn in by his vulnerability. He finds her contradictory but also funny (laughing together about the walking undead husband was a sweet moment between them lmao) and is starting to find her smartass comments and teasing endearing. They don't just become good lovers, they become good friends, and they will be wonderfully morally grey and chaotic together.

Briallen- Half-Orc, Sorceror, Folk Hero

This bitch can fit so much Survivor's Guilt inside her!! I think she will really fit well with Halsin all things considered. She is, down to her core, a genuinely good person who wants to protect and help, even if she sees her heroism as a selfish act to punish herself. I can see her being drawn to Halsin's strength, confidence and wisdom and I can see him drawn to her bravery, selflessness and serenity. But hopefully he will be able to curb her extremely low sense of self-preservation and she will show him that she will accept him in his entirety with no strings. Two folks who really admire each other slowly falling head over heels for each other!

Iker- Human, Ranger, Soldier

Gale. Not just because he's a magebreaker and I love the whole enemies/rivals to lovers, but because Gale is a wonderfully complicated person and turns out Iker finds complicated hot. I can see Gale intially finding his standoffish and straight up cunty behaviour annoying/vaguely amusing at first, but become increasingly curious about the person he used to be before everything. Iker looks at Gale and they think "Fuck. He's hot. Damn mage." and becomes fascinated with the fractured man beneath the perfect veneer. Idk about Gale, but Iker is actually the devoted type and in the future won't care what he does as long as he lets them stay by his side. Unhealthy obsessions all round let's get on it cunts.

Rowan- Half-Elf, Wizard, Scholar/Sage

I am truly a bit stumped with them BUT I can see them making poor decisions and falling for Wyll. He's got secrets and they're a curious sort who naturally wants to uncover them, for good or ill. They trigger Wyll's protective instinct, as they are particularly a bit naive about the wider world beyond their studies and dig sites and he's as soon to find them crouching down in the middle of a battle protecting a suspected artifact as he is to find them completely closed off to the world with her nose in a tome. He would find their completely objective opinion about his situation surprisingly refreshing and they want to study him under a microscope (oh and he has a very nice smile they can't seem to say no to). They'll make him better, he'll make them worse lol.

Zlatan- Githyanki, Cleric, Outlander

Oh Shadowheart for sure. Not only does he find her beautiful, he's intrigued with the fact that such a kind person (objectively) worships such an evil goddess. He's always been fascinated with outlier cultures and beliefs, like the drow. She would obviously be wary of him at first, but will be pleasantly surprised by his easygoing and cheerful nature yet shocked by his daredevilry and adventurousness. When she finally lets down her guard and they get closer, I can see them having actually quite a romantic dynamic between them.

Delshad [Name WIP]- Dragonborn, Fighter, Noble

I'll be honest, I was inspired by the Panel to make a hot af dragonborn to sweep Karlach off her feet. I'm weak. He is literally Just Some Guy. He's polite, he's softspoken, he likes embroidery and he will Fuck You Up when pressed. He would find Karlach very, very cute once she trusts him with her more romantic side and he can withstand her sparky tendencies with all his scales. She would appreciate the fact that he's pretty non-conforming in terms of his status and his gender stereotype and that he's only a gentleman with her FOR her. Very sweet, very soft relationship ahoy!!

Tav [Name Undecided]- Gnome/Deep Gnome, Rogue, Urchin or Charlatan?

Now this Tav is very much a recent and underdeveloped idea, because I saw The Prettiest gnome Tav the other day and I had this image of a cute gnome lady Absolutely Down Bad for Lae'zel because she loves big strong hot mean women. I imagine a very messy, horny dynamic since this Tav despises any authority on principle and Lae'zel comes from a society very much built upon obeying authority, but I can see Lae'zel finding Tav's dedication to chaos and getting things done her way or no way quite attractive.

Ooofff, I went through those con recaps because to put it in a nice way: I’m a slut for any type of qaf info especially from cons since they’re so rare. And it’s always fun reading about what the actors are/were like. But like reading the recaps about 2012 Cologne, it reminded me that I love this cast so much but Hal I’m ehhh about. Like there was a part where he in M&G discussed how he thinks Mikey was also in some way bashed or something similar to Justin which okay, whatever, i have my opinions on that and he has his which is cool. But like reading about how he spoke over his costars/Randy at a panel and answered a question that was literally targeted at the gay actors about being gay and he talked about his gay friends. Then I’m suddenly kinda happy that I missed SOME conventions because that made my secondhand embarrassment go through the roof. But them reading other con recaps makes me hope that they somehow bring a convention back to life.

Give me Randy and Gale!! And give me Peter because he’s always the life of a party! And now after hearing how Randy is on his podcast, I feel like now he would be completely different at a con (to some degree).

Hey anon!

Yeah, it was fun to read about people's experiences as it's not very realistic that any will take place nowadays, which is a shame :(

The fandom does seem to be less than enthused shall we say about Hal. From what I've seen he is very extroverted and likes to be the centre of attention and would play up to that in interviews, you do you, whereas Gale/Randy are notoriously private. He wasn't particularly close to them and has said some questionable things about the on set experiences and has quite strong opinions. I think he just wasn't a lot of qaf fans cup of tea.

Everyone has their faves, for me Randy is pure sunshine and wickedly funny. Gale is wonderfully strange, I wanna study him under a microscope, his thought process fascinates me no end.

I will say though I have no clue what he means when he says Michael was bashed as he literally never was??

I have suffered through watching a con or two to get Gale/Randy content and almost didn't make it out alive, I literally wanted to die at some of the questions. My god, they would never get away with asking those things these days, which is the plus side to if they ever held another because I would hope people would ask more intelligent, thoughtful ones. I think Gale and Randy struggled a lot because essentially they were the most popular characters on the show and their own personal opinions didn't always tie in with the fans interpretations so they would then get upset. Alongside the intense attention which was difficult to cope with. But I think they would definitely be more prepared and relaxed should they do it again. I personally loved Randy being blunt as fuck, as he's entitled to his opinion too and I don't take it as seriously as some fans do!

My dream lineup would be the one that got cancelled lmao as Gale, Scott, Peter and Randy all were close and got on off set, so it would've be a riot for sure!
