so. tara was supposed to be at camp at one point and have idle banter with gale:

"Despite everything that's been against us, we’ve carved out a corner of existence for ourselves. And that's more than enough for me.” He pulled her in, holding her to his chest where she could feel the soft flesh of his chest, the slight tickle of his chest hair, and the gentle beating of his heart beneath it. “So, what's next then? Now that we don’t have an elder brain to kill?”

Slate and Gale have a sleepy morning after surviving the elder brain, and Gales thinking of the future.

i watched tim's interview a while ago, but i loved this part so much i had to share it:

question: "what do you want people to take away from gale?" tim: "there's a real joy about gale, and also longing, and sorrow, and hope, and there's so much. he yearns to go back to waterdeep. he yearns to be in his library with his tressym, and he wants all those things. he wants a simple existence at the end of the day. yes, he also kind of wants to be the greatest wizard of all time, but there's also those elements of homeliness, of just kind of wanting to be at ease and calm within your space in a world that's actually gone insane and crazy. so, actually, i think there's a bit of gale in everybody whether they want to admit it or not. it's that yearning for a better thing. he doesn't particularly want to fight, he doesn't particularly want to do this. he's thrust into it. this is just where we are. we have to do it. it has to be done. we have to do this.  but all he wants to do is, you know, have a sherry and read a book. lead a quiet life in waterdeep, probably eat some cheese, sit on the veranda."

I really do love Baldur's Gate 3, but I'm so mad its set in the Forgotten Realms. I do not want to be invested in FR lore god damn it. There are far too many weird sex things. Like, I'm all for weird sex things if done well, but then I look at the drow, and just hmmmm, so much of it is just women doing weird sex things.
