I think one big reason why we don't consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.

For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I'm lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don't get that at all with modern light pollution.

When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.

Whenever I feel down or think my story isn't good enough or that I don't possess the skills to represent these characters (or even my OCs), I will come back and reread this. I love that this person is deeply involved in the world of DnD and doesn't once say this or that is right or wrong.

Are there things in my story that aren't 'lore-friendly'? Probably a lot. Is my interpretation of Gale (and others) going to be 'the' way? Hells no! And not everyone is going to like my work. That's okay! That in no way invalidates what I see in my mind and what I write.

So to my fellow writers (and art makers), keep doing what you're doing!

Galemancers I love you.

I am not an active,nor skilled, user of social medi in general and tumblr was not exception. I am ordinary the lazy reader who hit "like" and "reblog" once in a while. 

But habits exist to be broken, right ?

I have lurked in shadows long enough, and that is worthy of being said.

Galemancers I love you. You are brilliant. 

I have read so much posts taking about headcanons, writing process, or how much it is normal to fall for a fictional character.

So, no, you are not normal. You are unhinged, half crazy, and obsessed. But most of all you are creative, invested, imaginative, sensitive. And courageous enough to hit the "publish" button to treat us with your drawings and stories. 

And there is the most precious of gifts. So be thanked for that. Be thanked for giving the world colours and music. And be thanked for celebrating love on all is forms with each of your publication. 

There are two very important things that you might know.

First and foremost, as it seems that anxious writers are the common breed amongst you (us ?). I never wrote fanfic. But I play Dungeon and Dragons since four decades, mostly as a Dungeon Master, so I am not a total stranger to writing process. 

Your story, your words, your vision, your feelings. Each time you start a new story, you create a new world. Your style is good. Your headcanons are right. And your Gale is THE Gale. You are right, you are legitimate, and we readers are just guests, who you give the privilege to visit your story. And the only thing we are entitled to do is thank you.

So thank you. You are all wonderful. Please, don't be normal. Or rather don't care about what is considered normal, just be yourself, what you show is beautiful. 

Second. I was wondering recently about how the word Galemancer was created. And assumed that it is from Gale and Romance. Which was kindly confirmed by @optimisticgrey in her infinite wisdom and knowledge. 

I think it is pretty accurate, but not comprehensive. Please indulge. 

We are on Toril right ? So, unless I am misleaded since decades. Necromancers don't romance zombies (well, they can indeed, but....), Chronomancers don't romance hourglasses. And Chiromancers hopefully don't only romance hands (I hope some of you have mental pictures by now).

The -mancer sufix is related to magic, the first ancient greek meaning is tightly related to divination, but the modern common sense encompasses mastery and manipulation as well.

You are magic users. All of you. You use the raw material of Baldur's Gate and shape it into something new by a mere act of will, skills and knowledge. Te same way wizards do with the weave.

You are closer to fully understand Gale than you might suspect. 

You are miracle makers. Each of your post, each of your line, is a miracle. And a miracle is something we need.

(This post is dedicated to @optimisticgrey , my guide and mentor in the fanfic bubble, so, so, so much more.)

I love how this shot of Jax sulking away got people theorizing and making miles long posts about his Sad Backstory™ and Trauma™

ONLY FOR IT TO TURN OUT THAT HE IS MAD THAT HE DIDN'T GET TO CAUSE CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION.

Man, I love you Gooseworx, you don't disappoint, you absolute madwoman.
