Gale Dekarios

Gale Dekarios 😊

Thank you for the ask! So, let's begin my essay about my favourite wizard, Gale Dekarios of Waterdeep.

How I feel about this character – I love him, I adore him, he owns my virtual heart (my real heart being in the possession of my IRL husband). At the same time Gale is me, I can relate to him in so many ways.

All the people I ship romantically with this character – all my Tavs, on every playthrough. And Lae'zel, she would like his fascination with the Astral plane, he would admire her bravery and teach her what love is.

Maybe Karlach is a viable option, but she fits both in this and the second question.

My non-romantic OTP for this character – Astarion! I cannot see them in a romantic relationship, but they would make funny buddies. As I said somewhere already, they would be the type of friends, in which one is of often embarrassed of what the other said.

My unpopular opinion about this character – that he is not rich, only middle-class (maybe not so unpopular). And that his mother is a wizard herself.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon – practically everything I want for him I can make through choices in BG3, so it exists in canon. I wish he would never have been told to kill himself, my heart aches for Gale every time Elminster comes and every time he tells Tav about his "last night alive". And I wish he could adopt Scratch and bring him to the City of Splendours.

It partly answers the ask from @waterdeep-weavemoss

Gale as a professor be like

Make a list, write a fanfic, OP, we're here to share your kinks.

Don't have quotations as amazing as these, but my husband knows very well about my obsession, and he even helped me to put a big poster of Gale into a picture frame and hang it on the wall of our only room. I call him "a Gale at home" 💜

Me: You’re my favorite husband. And I’ll have you know, I have many to choose from.

Husband: Halsin and Lae’zel don’t count, babe.

Kiss all my Tavs, but one's turned into an owlbear, and the other smells of skeletons (babygirl is a necromancer). A challenge you'll definitely be up to!

Can my Tav kiss your Tav? 👉👈
