some gale thoughts:
there is a constant pressure on his chest, sometimes restricting and suffocating. sometimes heavy and unbearable. there's always some level of discomfort. around where the orb sits is discolored and bruised, there are other spots along his body that are the same bruising. these do not disappear until post-game when the orb is gone from him.
he's almost always making some sort of noise, mainly talking- to whoever will listen but he also hums ( when cooking ) and mutters under his breath when thinking / rationalizing something out. 99.9% of the time he's always thinking about something. ( how much he reveals about himself personally differs with his approval of you, naturally. ) i love that he canonically talks in his sleep.
books books and more books. everywhere about his area in camp is covered in them, which he's happy to loan out so as long as they return in the same condition. he's also more than happy to infodump on any given subject and will ask questions of the other companions if he doesn't know much about the subject or is just curious ( though if the subject is sensitive he'll leave it alone. ) / please play chess or mind games with him, he loves that sort of stuff.
his libido is slightly higher than average and he's a very attentive partner, prioritizing his partner's pleasure above his own ( act 2 astral scene?? showing off All Of That. ) he likes everyone and has little preference. though he does have particular inclinations ( liking how tav smells, 'musk' / looks in battle, etc. one of the reasons why i enjoy him with lae'zel because of how she'd look in battle- covered in blood and all fierce. ) ( as long as you're nice, exceptions being the aus w/ a darker gale / god gale. )
how mystra saw gale vs how gale saw mystra is incredibly different. in my opinion!!! -> for gale, mystra was everything but for mystra, gale was just another chosen- impressed by the way he wielded magic but an indifference to him in regards to his humanhood. ( no hate, i just feel you can replace gale with anyone that sought to use the weave in challenging new creative ways and mystra would feel the same about them as she did gale. )
gale does not regret the time spent under her attention ( nor elminster's ) and while he still speaks of her in the positive for the most part, he no longer hold her on such high a pedestal, even throwing the occasional shade. the opinion above is something he picks up on after tav convinces him in the positive that he doesn't need to blow himself to atone for his folly.
gale is a bit of a proud individual but there's a lack of confidence in his person, not of his skills. this mostly has to do with falling out of mystra's favor. he is someone that wants to be needed even if it is something as simple as his opinion. the 'let me be useful and prove myself' sort of mentality that dips into unhealthy on occasion.

AS SAID BY GARRUS VAKARIAN, updated version
* assorted dialogue from the mass effect trilogy, adjust as necessary
i can't find any hard evidence.
good luck, [name]. maybe they'll listen to you.
i'm coming with you.
sometimes it feels like the rules are only there to stop me from doing my work.
i just couldn't take it anymore.
maybe i can get the job done my way for a change.
if you're wrong, we'll pay for it. but if you're right, and we did nothing, i think we'd regret it a whole lot more.
i thought you were dead.
it sure is good to see a friendly face.
at least it's not hard to find criminals here. all i have to do is point my gun and shoot.
my feelings got in the way of my better judgement.
i'll make you a deal. you get me out of here alive, and i'll tell you the whole damn thing.
nobody would give me a mirror. how bad is it?
don't make me laugh, damn it.
some women find facial scars attractive.
i'm fit for duty whenever you need me.
when i got to the meeting point, no one was there.
kill you? no. but i don't mind slowing you down a little.
what do you want from me, [name]?
i know you want to talk about this... but i don't. not yet.
it's so much easier to see the world in black and white. gray... i don't know what to do with gray.
my instincts are what got me into this mess.
never knew you had a weakness for men with scars.
well, why the hell not? there's nobody in this galaxy i respect more than you.
if we can figure out a way to make it work, then... yeah. definitely.
you're about the only friend i've got left in this screwed-up galaxy.
you don't ever have to worry about making me uncomfortable. nervous, yes... but never uncomfortable.
i brought wine.
your hair looks... good. and your waist is... very supportive.
hopefully that's not offensive in human culture.
i want something to go right. just once.
think you can win this thing, [name]?
i'm pretty sure we'll still need giant guns... and lots of them.
so... is this the part where we shake hands?
the scars are starting to fade. i remember they drove you wild.
i've been doing some more research on human customs.
glad to know my romantic skills made an impression.
let's not go there.
i can afford the good stuff.
what about you? i'm starting to see some wear and tear.
don't forget to come up for air. and not just because all these people need you. because i need you.
if you're suggesting i'm scared... game on.
still trying to make me blush, huh?
i'd be lying if i said i didn't hope it would inspire a certain... mood.
it seemed like you needed time to... figure us out.
the worst part about the galaxy going to hell would've been never getting to see you again.
not saying you don't know how to handle a gun. just saying some of us know how to make it dance.
i've actually seen you dance. no comment.
i know there are other things you're good at.
probably not a lot of air in here. an hour if we're lucky.
so tell me. think a girl would fall for that?
it gets even better when you try it in bed.
you don't lack for places to get lost.
did we break anything last night?
you'll find a way to win. and when this is over, i'll be waiting for you.
if this thing goes sideways and we both end up there... meet me at the bar. i'm buying.
forgive the insubordination, but your boyfriend has an order for you.
come back alive. it'd be an awfully empty galaxy without you.
we're in this 'til the end.
we didn’t kill these people. and we’re going to shut down the bastards who did.
looks like we’ve got a siege on our hand.
if anyone needs fresh clips or a bathroom break, now’s the time.
oh crap!
guess he didn’t like the food.
looks like we got the jump.
pretty extreme, but those were desperate times.
we won’t get a second chance.
that was me, sorry.
nothing like being stranded.
we’ll do more than that.
just the usual minor flesh wound.
what would these people have done if we hadn’t shown up?
i was there when you two had your thing, remember? just get a room and work it out.
stay angry. we’ll need it to get through this.
drinks will be on me.
one of my favorite places to fight!
i’m hard to kill. you should know that.
it’s gonna be bad all over.
for whatever it’s worth, i’m with you.
you’ve waited long enough for this day.
just wait��‘til this war is over.
you came along and warmed my heart with your winning personality.
maybe you’d like to go work for them instead?
how do i not have one of those?
surprise on our side for once. i like it.
brutal, but it makes a certain kind of sense.

PROMPTS FROM THE MANDALORIAN SEASON 1
* assorted lines from a few of the first episodes, adjust as necessary
i can bring you in warm, or i can bring you in cold.
it's not slow at all, actually.
this is all i have.
i'll take them all.
sadly, we'll never know.
oh, this feels a lot better.
"stay off the ice." that's the understatement of the millennium!
now we just need to get the door open.
that's all you can give me?
save the theatrics.
that was fast. did you catch them all?
they do not belong here.
can we talk about this later?
i have a suggestion.
so much for the element of surprise.
that is not what we agreed upon.
i'm simply being pragmatic.
you know, you're not so bad.
i don't have time for this.
well, then i don't know if i want your help.
i like those odds.
this is gonna take days to fix.
they don't like you for some reason.
they stole from me.
i'm surprised you waited.
explain it to me again. i still don't understand what happened.
i can't thank you enough.
this is what was causing all the fuss?
i will take you to them.
i gotta get one of those.
how do i know i can trust you?
why would an enemy help you in battle?
get out of here! we'll hold 'em off!
i'm not interested in your excuses.
that would be a great honor.
any idea what they're gonna do with it?
you know where to find me.
that's one impressive weapon.
i didn't want it to come to this.
step aside. i'm going to my ship.
you want some soup?
this has been a real treat.
until our paths cross.
now, don't touch anything.
do you mind if i ask you something?
i'm gonna miss you so much.
bad news. you can't live here anymore.
you think you can do better?
this is more than i signed up for.
so you think i'm some kind of mercenary?
how'd you end up here?
it's very nice here.
i don't belong here.
