Had To Think For Gale's POV For A Moment There Whew - Tumblr Posts

What's Stelle's and Gale's favourite trait of one another? i adore stelle btw

Oh thank you!! Stelle's my favorite child for sure (don't tell the others)

Stelle -

Physical trait: Gale's eyes. Not just cause they're baby cow eyes, but because Gale's eyes convey so much. They're expressive and honest. She may end up hearing and understanding his words differently, but when she looks at his eyes, she'll know what he actually meant.

"I love you" - but does he really? One look in his eyes and it's a clear answer: yes, he does.

Non-physical trait: Gale's willingness and eagerness to just be present. Stelle craves security so much. She's experienced loss, she's experienced grief, and she tends to push herself more than she needs to in order to protect the light, protect the people, protect nature - but is there anyone there for her?

And before meeting Gale, she was completely alone, with only nature and her duty to her oath and the Morninglord as her comfort, which was fine at the time, but once she experienced Gale's love and care? She just broke. To know that someone wants to be there and to stay when she's lost loved ones and left behind by others? It still makes her cry thinking about it.

Gale -

Physical trait: He probably also likes her eyes, but more than that, I think it might actually be Stelle's scar on her face. I like to imagine he probably likes to touch her face and feel the texture of it. It's a testament to what she's been through, a reminder her strength and resilience that he loves. It reminds him to make sure to shower this woman with love, making sure she knows that every flaw, every imperfection, everything about her is loved by him.

And it reminds him that she's imperfect and mortal. It's not like Mystra's perfect projection, her godly mystique, but it's real, and it's perfectly Stelle.

Non-physical trait: Her warmth. She may stumble sometimes when trying to do the right thing, but she always wants and always tries to be kind to people, even if they have different backgrounds or beliefs. She wants to make sure people feel loved and cared for, though often forgetting to give that same love and care for herself, so he enjoys stepping into that role of giving her that same love and warmth in return.

When you put two nerds who have an eagerness to please and show love to others while neglecting themselves, you get Gale and Stelle basically

I hope this was a good answer! And that I made sense 🫠
