gale is actually the character of all time for swinging wildly between suicidal depression and delusions of godhood. he's ready to die and you give him a crumb of ass and hes like what if i just ruled the universe actually. this should be a huge red flag but then, you only need to ask him to stop once and he's like "ok" and the next day hes like "are you mad at me :("

his pose is from a leyendecker illustration and I was inspired by art nouveau for this one!
the top scroll has parts of these lyrics from Sympathy for the Devil, I like the version by Ghost
Pleased to meet you, I hope you guess my name

The Barbie movie reminded me about how when I was little my parents were upset that I kept making my Barbie dolls kiss, so they bought me a Ken doll. The next day they found me having a funeral for poor Ken in the garden, he had died of tuberculosis. All the Barbies were in attendance and I buried him under our rose bush. The Barbies were too poor to afford a headstone (it was 1875) so I didn’t mark where the grave was and I never could find him again. He’s probably still there.
This game really touched my heart... and gave me so much inspiration... this is my tribute
