Y'all ever think about how Gale has daddy issues?

Y'all ever think about how Gale is very close to his mother?

Y'all ever think about how Gale deeply admires and respects his mother?

Y'all ever think about how Gale and Tara only talk about his mother, and not his father?

Y'all ever think about how the way Gale's father is seemingly, purposefully, never specifically mentioned implies that he walked out on Gale and Morena when Gale was young?

Y'all ever think about how Elminster was a young Gale's replacement father figure? (Gale was 8)

Y'all ever think about how Elminster, hopefully unintentionally, primed Gale for Mystra's grooming/abuse?

Y'all ever think about how Elminster used to be Mystra's lover?

Y'all ever think about how Gale was also Mystra's lover?

Y'all ever think about the fact that Gale knows Elminster used to be Mystra's lover?

Y'all ever think about how it was Elminster who told Gale that their ex-lover, and their literal goddess, wanted him to kill himself?

Y'all ever think about how the way Elminster told Gale their ex wanted him to kill himself was the Faerun equivalent of a video call?

Y'all ever think about how Elminster couldn't even be assed to deliver the "request" to Gale in person? (He used a simuclarion? Idk how to spell it, basically a shadow clone)

Y'all ever think about how Gale has never had a stable, healthy, normal, loving, relationship with a father figure?

Y'all ever think about how deeply and intensely Gale feels his emotions and feelings?

Y'all ever think about how Gale says he thinks he'd make a horrible father?

Y'all ever think about why Gale thinks that he wouldn't be a good father?

Y'all ever speculate on how Gale's reluctance to see himself in a paternal role might have something to do with everything mentioned above?

Because I do.

Gale is a great dad, but even great dads need a break sometimes.

Baby #2 in the oven ✨What if the masterpiece are their kids..

Went on vacation so now I had to do a warm-up sketch.

[durge-marzio]

the first of many dadkarios posts to come

Marzio fought tooth and nail to keep this egg and raise it. This is a big moment for him.

i can never figure out how I want to draw gale’s face outside of my chibi style and it’s driving me up a wall

Gale-

[doodaddlesart]

it's the Dekarios clan! Gale is a girldad™ and no, I am not taking questions. This is Gale and Seiya (my wood half-elf monk Tav) and their spawn, Hana (oldest) and Jin (youngest).

Hana is responsible, sweet, calm, curious and wants to follow in her fathers footsteps in illusionary wizardry.

Jin is chaotic, temperamental, hyperactive, destructive but sensitive - they learn at a very young age that she is likely a sorcerer of the wild magic variety...

(This Gale didn't bother with the crown so he still has the orb (though stabilized) but regardless if it's gone or not, I feel like it'd have SOME lasting effects on the body & perhaps it manifested in come chaos magic lol)

I have more of these but they're not looking like how I want >:0 If this one gains interest, maybe I'll share the rest another time.

Protective Gale Dadkarios Thoughts

A/N: I am once again thinking about Gale being a father and it's giving me emotions. This man makes me soft guys!

Okay, first things first, this is more in keeping with my Single Mom!Tav, Gwen, headcanons (found here)

Basically Gwen had a tiefling child, Clara by a previous marriage. She and her husband divorced and after Gale and Gwen got married they had a daughter named Morgan

As I've kind of dove into here; Clara and Morgan have a hard time conceptualizing their father as an adventurer

Yes, obviously, he was, but to them he's just their dad; the one who makes bad jokes and cooks and reads them stories, it's not necessarily real to them

So imagine for a moment, Clara walking through the market with a little Morgan in tow

Clara old enough at this point to go by herself, but Morgan is obessed with her big sister and Gwen insist Clara bring Morgan with her

Clara begrudgingly agrees, taking the coin Gwen gave them to buy some things for dinner while Morgan tugs on her sleeve asking if they can get a treat

Clara is too distracted to notice at first the sound of horses hooves galloping toward them. The store keeper in front of them suddenly drops with an arrow to the chest. The rest is chaos.

Clara doesn’t know what to do except grab Morgan and start running back towards home. Morgan is scared though and too little to run properly.

Clara then ducks them between a few barrels just hoping nobody notices them. She only is just able to catch her breath when she feels a hand on her shoulder.

She starts to yell ready to start biting just like her uncle Astarion told her when she sees her dad kneeling down next to them.

Morgan throws her arms around him and Clara isn’t that far behind

Gale hugs them both asking if Gwen is with them. Clara tells him she’s back home. She then sees something in her dad’s eye she hasn’t seen before.

His jaw is set and there is something calculating in the way he looks out at the choas on the other side of the alley way. He then kisses them both of the forehead and tells them very calmly to stay hidden, he’ll be right back.

Morgan starts to reach out to her dad, but Clara holds her back. Something in how he said it makes her actually feel the necessity to do as he says.

Still, she can’t help it take a peak as she sees her dad step out of the alley with nothing but his staff.

The next thing she sees is a display of magic she’s only heard in stories.

The fire that rains down isn't done out of fury, but cool precise calculation

Time might as well have stopped

Gale isn't being extravogent or showing off, this is a wizard at full power cleaning up the mess in the most efficient way possible

When the dust clears, Gale stands in the middle of it all without a scratch on him

He then turns back to see Clara and Morgan peaking out of the alley way

He wants to chastize them for not hiding properly like he said, but he can't bring himself to do it, espeically when Morgan comes charging into his arms

Clara isn't far behind and he gathers them both to him

Everything is alright now, time to go home

Morgan is really too little to understand what she just saw, only that it was scary and the safest place she can think to be is in her father's arms

Clara honestly can't help but stare at him; she didn't think he was that...well, cool

Of course, this illusion is shattered the second he makes a bad joke in some attempt to get them to smile

At the end of the day, he's still their dad; soft, safe and warm

The Adventures of Dad Gale, his silly bard wife Emmy, and their baby girl.

Being a first time dad is hard, sometimes you need a little extra support. And a strong stomach. (By OrangeKittyEnergy) ~

Feeding the baby is his favorite pastime. But so is cuddling his wife. (By Sh0_Sh1n on IG)

Early morning cuddles in bed. The baby was up all night, so might as well have her resting with them. ❤️ (By OrangeKittyEnergy)

A peaceful morning in Waterdeep. We can only hope he doesn’t drop that book on Emmy’s head. More importantly, the baby. (Art by Karkyna_ on IG)

Playtime during changes makes the baby less fussy. (Art by Karkyna_)

Emmy and her ridiculousness strikes again! (Art by Karkyna_)

Gale Dionysus with the Hades UI n stuff because idk thought it would be fun. I just didn’t want to post this with the main drawing.

Background isn’t mine, it’s from hades 1. ✌️

[freaky-deaky-cookies]

Hi could i request, Gale and a tav elf sorceress, gale doesn't like sorceresses because he sees them as not real magic users and I was wondering what a relationship between the two of them would be like

Gale x Elf! Sorcerer! tav 

Most of his ‘dislike’ would stim from the fact that he himself had to work extremely hard day in and day out to achieve the level of magic he does have

Seeing it come so naturally to a sorcerer would really intimidate him

Like, he knows that he is (was) Mystras chosen but he worked so hard while Tav can just do it

When meeting Tav at first, he wanted to demonstrate his abilities to show them he can/is just as good as them. He is THE Gale of Waterdeep, dammit.

Despite the rocky start, Gale and Tav would bond over magic.

Gale may even start suggesting that she “hone” her magic more, recommending she study particular books, or trying to analyze how her spells work. In return, she introduces him to a more carefree, intuitive side of magic, encouraging him to let go of his rigid rules every so often. 

By the end, Gale may still jest about her being a ���wild magic user,” but it’s said with a wink and a smile. He no longer sees sorcery as inferior, but rather as an important facet of the magical world. He comes to understand that there is no one way to wield magic—it’s about finding the path that works best for the individual. They share a bond that, while rooted in their differing magical practices, is ultimately about mutual respect, trust, and love.

I don't know if the bruising has always been on the orb's location, but I do like it now that I am seeing it. It's more indicative of the fact that he didn't just get an edgy boy tattoo when he got dumped by a goddess.

Don't you just hate it when your husband laughs at you for using your gigantic pregnancy belly as a table? 🙄 like jeez man let a girl live
