"He was her warmth. She was his peace."

Asha doesn't remember anything about her past, all she remembers was that she was always so cold. But when she's with Gale, he brings her such warmth with his touch, his kiss, and even his words. Moments with Gale make Asha forget the darkness inside her trying to claw its way to the surface... After losing Mystra's love after his accidental betrayal, Gale was constantly worried about the orb, now stuck in his chest, killing himself and many others by exploding. But after meeting Asha and traveling together, Gale fell in love again...and finally felt at peace.

So is “The Horror and the Wild” Astarion or Gale coded? Is “That Unwanted Animal” Astarion or Gale coded? Is Almost (Sweet Music) Astarion or Gale cod-

The knowledge that Gale is basically obsessed with Tav/Durge regardless of the nature of their relationship changes a man. you will never look at him the same way once you're aware of this even if u start a new character you need to just accept that Gale is gonna be weird about them. And i'm just expected to be normal about this, okay thank you 😭

im inclined to disagree as a gale liker but the underlined segment is kinda dumb to me bc if youre that involved in the roots of the game then you should know this isnt really an accurate summary of his character at all. like, really overly simplistic. & he isnt anymore annoying than astarion or laezel who are just straight up malicious in act 1

It’s heartbreaking to me how easily Gale abandons his plans of becoming a god when you romance him, because it shows that he never actually wanted to become a god in the first place.

When you ask him how he’s feeling after discovering the crown of Karsus he tells you that he’s excited about what the crown could do to improve both of your lives. His plans aren’t clear but it’s obvious that he wants to use it for himself. Of course there’s some selfishness there, perhaps a desire to get back at Mystra, but there’s a good part of him that sees this as a way to impress you, to become worthy of you.

But to convince him to let go of the crown in Act 3 you simply need to tell him that he matters, that you love him for the man that he is not the god he wants to be. You need to convince him that he’s always been enough and that he always will be, so long as he stays true to who he is. And with high approval he accepts this without question. While he feels uncertain about putting all of his faith into one person, he’s still relieved and happy to do so.

You have opportunities before the Outer Planes scene to tell him that you care about him, most notably in Act 2, when you can tell him that you want to spend the night with Gale the man, that you don’t need him to wow you with cosmic sex. While this clearly means a lot to him it doesn’t translate as “I am exactly all that this person needs” in his mind yet.

But when you have the Outer Planes scene and he tells you of his plans, if you gently bring him back down to earth, kiss him and tell him he’s perfect, he’s wholly convinced. While Tara might have told him many times some variation of this, you are the first person, and most importantly the first lover, to tell him and show him. The fact that you met him with diminished powers and the Netherese orb and still fell in love with him speaks volumes.

It shows that his ambitions are not born from hubris, rather, from a profound insecurity that could only be the product of his defining of his life, his value, in relation to the literal goddess of magic and, obviously, falling short. Conjuring visions of Waterdeep and the Outer Planes, it’s all his way to convince you that he’s worthy of your affections, you who in most cases cannot do that at all. But he bases his worth completely upon his magical abilities, it’s no surprise then that magnifying them to infinite proportions is his way to remove his fear of losing you, since his greatest weakness, his humanity, is what drove his previous lover away from him.

And that’s absolutely heartbreaking.
