#I am sensitive to this now bc my friends keep talking about Gale like he’s the Normal One

idk if the op of that last post MEANT to forget him and I don’t wanna be rude by commenting on their post but 😭 when u talk about how the bg3 characters are all part of unbalanced power structures that they’re recovering from Gale SHOULD be included. maybe it’s not as obvious as the others, but a relationship with a goddess like Mystra also does not leave u normal. he can’t even ask her to help save his life, but she can ask him out of nowhere, after years of silence, to blow himself up or deliver an unspeakably power magical artifact to her. all to earn her forgiveness for his very human, very understandable mistakes. and they were supposed to be romantically involved??? you cannot convince me that was a healthy, equal relationship in which Gale had any power whatsoever
