#but birthdays should be celebrated

[kraeki]

Happy birthday to the only man that actually has “aura”

Who’s calm as you like except when he has to deal with English referees

Who’s not only a world class footballer

But also a world class model

And the best captain we could ask for ❤️🧡

No, they just celebrate Jim's birthday with the crew every day because Bones is a big softy even in a time loop

Sneaky God Gale Still Loves You

I want to take a moment to offer some reassurance to any of my fellow Galemancers who got the worst Gale romance ending—the infamous ‘Sneaky God Gale.’ (credit to @airydandelion, who I believe first coined the term and who did a ton of valuable research as noted at the end of this post!)

This ending happens when you think you’ve convinced Gale not to ascend. You turned down his offer for godhood in the boat! You didn’t push him towards the crown at all (or so you thought)! And most importantly, he seemed convinced!!

Then you get to the ending on the docks and suddenly he’s all: “that crown tho…🥵” And he leaves.

Worst of all, he won’t even offer to ascend you at the epilogue party.

So what gives?!

Putting aside that this happens because 1. There are some extremely subtle and not-great dialogue options pushing him towards the crown which should’ve been better written/more obvious, and 2. Gale ‘I’m-many-things-but-not-coy’ Dekarios should have been clearly displaying his intentions towards the crown in order to give fair warning to the player, I do still think we can explain his behavior.

The most important thing to remember is that he is not gaslighting you! He’s not smooching you and giving you those big lovey cow eyes while smugly thinking about how he’s going to dump you.

When Gale offers you godhood in the boat, it’s literally called the ‘Be My God Proposal’ in the data files. It’s a proposal. And what a proposal! Because he’s not just offering you a marriage where it’s a short span of mortal years together until death. He’s offering you a literal eternity together.

…and you turned him down.

You did it for all the right reasons, your heart was in the right place, BUT…Gale is uncertain. He loves you, but do you really love him? Just him? He’s still not sure he’s enough for you. You weren’t vehemently against the crown, you seemed to waffle. And you turned down his proposal…an eternity with him was something you did not wish for…

So when he gets to the brain stem, and then the docks, and he still feels uncertainty in his heart, well—it makes him very easily swayed by the orb’s hunger for the crown.

But he still loves you.

When you get to the epilogue, he doesn’t offer you ascension for the simple reason that you already turned it down. He respects your choice, and he’s not going to try and coax you into it; your desires are different than his, and that makes a life together impossible.

But he still loves you.

Well, but, you argue, why can’t we be together as a mortal and a god? Like Gale was with Mystra?

He would never expose you to such risk, because he still loves you.

‘Ok fine,’ you say. ‘Sure, he’s still got his kind heart buried underneath the arrogance. But even so, he chose to leave. There’s no absolute, definitive proof that he still loves me!’

Sneaky God Gale absolutely, 100%, still loves you! So go do yourself (and him) a favor and fix that ending:

You can use this amazing, incredible, fantastic guide created by @airydandelion to ensure you pick the right dialogue choices to get the Gale ending you want!

If you are on a PC and do not want to go back many hours of gameplay to replay/redo the dialogue choices, you can use this mod to convince Gale to stay human with the dice roll at the brain stem.

If you’re on a PS5 (which does not currently have the above mod) my best suggestion is to use the cheaters ring. This is a PS5 mod that essentially lets you cheese all combat and speedrun the game, saving you a ton of time if you need to replay Act 3 in order to get your human Gale.

Whatever you decide to do, you can go forth secure in the knowledge that Gale was 100% truthful when he told you this:

I'm a day late but HAPPY BIRTHDAY NERU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!! <3

I wasn't going to draw anything initially (srry girl, I was retweeting the art other people made for you tho lol) but something in me wanted to celebrate it properly and I don't draw Neru a lot, so I decided to go for it! Time lapse and traditional under the cut.

I completed the traditional drawing on her birthday at least, hehe. But in the digital, I made a lot of corrections.... Lmao.

1 hour for traditional + ~6 hours yesterday + ~3 hours = 10 hours? I was lowkey kinda gunning it within a day or two which I know isn't a healthy approach to art lol but time was running out and I decided to draw something so time-consuming and I didn't want to pass the date by too much.

Anyway, I like Neru a lot. Younger me really adored her and even if I'm mostly raving about Miku and Teto nowadays, I will NEVER replace Neru lol. Her being around is important to me so I definitely don't want my like for Neru to be underestimated. I'll draw more of her for sure! 💖

wine party au!!!!!!!!! god i love those snarky assholes so much! and their three thanksgivings. so perfect. i imagine obi-wan has a wine pairing for each course and anakin has a 5-gallon bucket of sangria from whatever half-drunk bottles of wine he found in the fridge mixed with whatever fruit was on sale.

oh for sure obi-wan takes it all very seriously as if one of the people he invited was going to do a full new york times write-up of his thanksgiving preparations. meanwhile anakin, in his mind, takes the important stuff seriously which is that everyones there and everyones fed and everyone has enough to drink should they want to and as host he has to do the least amount of dishes possible, etc etc

he probably crafts a thanskgiving delicacy cocktail that's just purple and red koolaid mixed together with a shit ton of vodka and with a cranberry garnish. obi-wan has never been so hungover in his life, which suchs cause anakin's thanksgiving comes before obi-wan's, so obi-wan is very hungover and trying to carve a turkey while thinking very meanly about stabbing anakin with this big long knife instead

and also like. just imagine their christmases lmao

yeah ummm today (december 12th) is my headcanon birthday for rouxls!! can he get some nice words

[yuwuta]

twin aus are fun bc sukuna is sooooo ugly and yuuji is soooooooo pretty and beautiful and lovely <3 completely understand why sukuna ends up the deliquent loser twin bc why would anybody choose him when <3yuuji<3 is right there

[emp-t-man]

just kiddiiiing i thought of the something of substance like five minutes after posting that hope is not lost :)

anyway. we know that doug eiffel had never liked sharing his birthday with christmas, on account of it often resulting in him being overshadowed by the holiday. and we also know that in the finale, he gets his memory erased, leaving him to question whether or not he still is doug eiffel.

we can assume that he learns about his previous aversion to his date of birth through listening to his logs, or if not, through minkowski or hera telling him about it. And knowing how much his past self hated having his birthday fall on december 25th, and knowing that without his memories, he is inadvertently yet undoubtably separated from that man… i think he, minkowski, hera, and lovelace agree that his “re-birthday” should be celebrated on the day of his sacrifice. the day that the new doug eiffel was born.
