made a small personal edit to a piercing mod (changed one pair of earrings into a single earring and then changed the stone color) and... yeah i think i really like this:

gale decides to leave his earring at the foot of mystra's statue after the confrontation at stormshore tabernacle, as a small form of catharsis for himself after having defied his goddess and ex-lover. elenion doesn't press him about it because they know how difficult this all must be for him, and they've got so many other things to worry about anyway. sometime not too long before their wedding date gale tells elenion he wants to get a new earring to represent a new chapter in his life (and also because he keeps trying to stim by dangling his earring and forgetting it's not there anymore) and elenion takes gale to their favorite jewelry shop so he can pick out something nice. gale goes in with nothing specific in mind but an earring resembling a gold sun catches his eye and he chooses it to go with his husband-to-be's favorite pair of silver moon earrings. that's the headcanon i've decided on!

#baldur's gate 3 #gale x tav #gale dekarios #oc: elenion silverdew #otp: you put the stars to shame #i have thought... so much about this okay #and a lot of people seem really insistent that gale needs to remove/replace his earring IMMEDIATELY because it's a reminder of his ex #but like she's not just his ex. mystra is also the literal goddess of magic and as a wizard magic is his LIFE #unfortunately he can't completely forget her or stop worshipping her #i do wish he got rid of the earring after stormshore tabernacle whether you romanced him or not #because you helped show him there's more to life. it'd be like how SH changes her hair even if you don't romance her #but he doesn't need to replace it right after that (or at all if he doesn't want to).#he needs time and patience and the space to wait until he's ready and then decide for himself what to do #which is why i imagine him not getting a new earring until maybe a couple weeks before he and elenion are to be married #ANYWAY. gale may not be a particularly sun-coded character but to elenion he is their sun and stars ☀️✨#they have never met anyone more bright and warm and beautiful than gale dekarios 💜💜#also whoops. i once again wrote a tag essay instead of just writing my thoughts in the post!#creme don't look
