The more I enjoy BG3 the more persistently my brain is like: What about writing a fanfic in which Anders and Fenris end up in Faerun with tadpoles in their brains and can communicate telepathically which finally lets them understand the other's point of view?

Hilarity points for Fenris seeing a world in which mages are free and not every single one of them is a bloodthirsty evil creature and being completely shocked by it. Also Gale and Anders becoming besties.

Even more hilarity points when Anders realizes Gods are real here. (Not that they're not real in DA universe, but in Faerun their touch and power in the world are far more visible and tangible than Elven Gods who didn't walk Thedas for several thousand years already).

I feel like Shadowheart and Fenris would become besties. I also see Lae'zel as a strong contender for Fenris' friendship. Possibly Astarion if Fenris realizes that his flirting is all just a mask very quickly. If not, then I feel like Anders would be the quickest to notice as he used to hide behind a similar mask in Awakening, so it should be easy to see.

*looks at Karlach* I feel like she would adopt Anders and Fenris.

*looks at Wyll* Hmmm... I wonder if Anders would relate to Wyll after it's revealed that he is contracted to Mizora, because listen: as a Grey Warden Anders drank Darkspawn blood, so technically he took the bad thing about Darspawn and turned it into a good thing. Wardens can be heroic, but most of them are misfits that got a second chance so joining with Justice would probably be more of a point of relation here than being a Grey Warden, even though as a Grey Warden our dear Darktown Healer has a lot of good deeds to his name. Anyway, I feel like Anders could find some relatable elements in Wyll's life.

Meanwhile, Fenris could probably find some relatable elements in what happened to Karlach. Fenris' slave status, as the warrior and "prized possession" of his Master is very similar to being sold to Zariel and forced into becoming a soldier in a Blood War. They both also used to be bodyguards to people who are evil pieces of shit. And of course he could relate to Astarion when it comes to slavery and his general bloodthirstiness in the form of killing his enemies on sight.

Dunno about Halsin, Jaheira and Minsc. I feel like Anders may have gone insane from seeing a man talking to a hamster, tho.

erm I just wanna talk about how I know in my heart that gale is actually really funny and if the events of the game weren't so life and death, especially for him, we would've been able to see his funny side far more than we currently do and honestly I feel robbed

#I just know it #and it's not the type of haha comedian style funny #it's just like the way he talks I think he'd be extremely sarcastic and generally more chill #if y'all watched the video fo the cast playing dnd - some of the things Tim said as gale i was just like #omfg I could totally see gale saying that under less dire circumstances #I think i'm trying to say he'd be funny in a charismatic way and not a slightly awkward way #anyways #serena the yap-atron 3000 #I'm supposed to be working on a discussion post for class but alas I am thinking about the wife of waterdeep #wife #gale dekarios #bg3 #shitpost

Get to know your Tav

This is my most recent Galemancer Tav, I still haven't picked a canon Tav yet. We're still in Act 1!

Malisstra Silverhair (She/her)

Daughter of Elistraee, Servant of Mystra| Half-Elistraean Drow | 🌟Knowledge Cleric of Mystra🌟| "Gale, with you I forget my goddess"

What is your Tav’s…

Name from: Her name means student/acolyte(isstra) of Mysteries(Mal) in Drow. Silverhair refers to her silver hair, obviously. If she lets you call her Mal: she'll probably die for you, too

favorite weapon: She started with a rapier, but the moment she found Phalar Aluve in the Underdark it became her favored melee weapon. The fact an Elistraeen weapon acknowledged her made her feel connected to her mother, despite ending up a Mystran cleric instead of Elistraean.

style of combat: She's a dex cleric so a mix of archery, spells and occasionally melee if it comes to that. She's happiest towards the back near Gale though. Hmmmm...🤔

most prized possession: Her earrings are from her mother when she started her adventure to be an itinerant cleric. She told Mal she only need to look to the stars to find both her mother and Mystra within. When she's feeling overwhelmed emotionally positive or negative Mal will fidget with them as a result.

deepest desire: To find love and friendship. Serving Mystra can be rather lonely if one delves too much into their academic obsessions at the cost of socialization. Mal, much like Gale or Lenore, has fallen victim to this pitfall.

guilty pleasure: Smut and comfort trash books with negative societal value. Drizzt fanfiction? oh yes! Manuals on sexual applications of spells that's filled with detailed pictures? It's um....academic I swear!

best-kept secret: Her faith to Mystra is strong, but she fears it's actually a love of books/knowledge/magic that tether her to Mystra. Not pure fervent devotion to her Lady. Sometimes she wonders if She should've followed her mother's footsteps after all. Her growing attachment to Gale and watching how he's treated by the Lady of Mysteries will test her faith indeed.

greatest strength: She's incredibly passionate and filled with big emotions. It drives her to do good and see the beauty in life. To ponder the mysteries of the realms.

fatal flaw: She's incredibly passionate and filled with big emotions. Sometimes they are too big. Sometimes she fails to contain them and makes rash decisions at the cost of herself.

favorite smell: The mixture of weave, ink, and old parchment.

favorite spell or cantrip: Faerie Fire. Her mother taught her how to channel her innate faerzress to cast it, and Mal loves how beautiful it is.

pet peeve: When people can't tell her apart from a moon elf. Or worse, get all racist when they can. Even more petty, people whose eyes glaze over when she tries to explain something.

bad habit: Is the thing in anyway a book? it's going into the chest. She'll catalog and organize it! She hasn't in fact, cataloged any of it. It's all in a pile tall as an owlbear and with Gale/Mal making the mess worse, it'll take Deneir himself to sort it.

hidden talent: She's not half bad with a flute, and can keep up with Wyll in dance. If she wasn't such a NERD in another life she might've followed her mother's footsteps and trained to be a sword dancer.

leisure activity: Playing her flute or reading trash books(in secret of course!).

favorite drink: Wine! And she's embarrassed that she's a bit snobby about it.

comfort food: Whenever Gale makes something Waterdhavian. It reminds her of the time she spent in(ok well mostly under technically) Waterdeep when she was a child.

favorite person: Don't tell her mother but it's a tie between Gale and Mal's mother. And Gale's winning by proximity. Gale's from Waterdeep and they love to talk about the City of Splendors over a glass of wine. Not to mention wine, books and magic. Gale meanwhile is fascinated by Mal's Elistraean upbringing.

favored display of affection: Little acts of service. A patient ear. A light cantrip for reading. A shoulder to lean on. A warm drink on a cold night. Little displays of magic.

fondest childhood memory: Her mother teaching her faerie fire. It made her fall in love with magic.

Thanks for the tag @hotnerdywizard. I'll not tag anyone, but feel free to do the questions if you wish.

I like Gum, any secret Gum-fo™️ (Gum info) for us?

I have like a HUGE lore.... for him..... it's all I think about at work 😭 and before bed. And every time I'm showering. He's consumed my brain like a parasite.

The tldr is: Gum comes from a pretty outdated crèche and after a tragic, preventable death of someone close to him, his world view is rocked and he kinda falls out of like traditional Githyanki beliefs. Which is super dangerous. Graduates his crèche to go to the astral only to end back up there as their cleric where he's abducted and brought on board the ship for the game.

He ends up getting w gale after awhile and it's really nice but kinda complicated and sad. Gales whole thing involving Mystra is a like pretty big deal since Gum is one of her clerics, but additional to that like. A lot of their early dynamic consists on like. Gale finding self worth and Gum learning to set boundaries and not allow his choices to be set by predetermined expectations on himself :(

Post game they move to waterdeep with Astarion. Arabella sometimes comes by too. They return the crown, gum doesn't join laezel in fighting. Gale becomes a professor while Gum kinda learns to find a place for himself that doesn't involve dedicating his entire person into worshiping a higher power.

It's messy and deeper than that, there's a whole gender thing and body autonomy thing. Lots of cultural differences. But that's the short version!!!

#I have so many iPhone note pads of like #3/4 started fics and like #character bios for him.#I can talk at such lengths about him but I hesitate on an ask bc game spoilers and also it's LONG #but thank you for showing interest I love him so much??? I love to talk about him so much???#he brings me so much joy 😭🎉
