It's Gale Time!!!

Come explore the Wizard of Waterdeep~

For the Attention of by HardingHightown (2282, General) Content Notes: None Pairings: Gale/Mystra, Gale & Mystra

Gale writes two letters to Mystra, one before the game, and one just after defeating the Netherbrain.

Reccer says: An excellent character study of Gale, and a refreshingly nuanced take on his relationship with Mystra.

Learning Curve by AccursedSpatula (149742, Explicit) Content Notes: Depression, Suicidal Thoughts, Past Abuse (Verbal and Physical) Pairings: Gale/Rolan

Gale invites Rolan to assist with teaching at Blackstaff for a semester.

Reccer says: So incredibly well written with very strong emotional beats

Weave Me The Sunshine by ACrowsRockCollection (110026, Explicit) Content Notes: None Pairings: Gale/Jaheira

After joining forces in camp cooking duties, Jaheira and Gale's relationship transforms into something else. As they reckon with the Absolute, the stew pot, and their histories, Jaheira is forced to ask herself if she could find herself caring for a *Wizard*?

Reccer says: The one, the only, friends-to-lovers longfic celebrating our cranky High Harper and the wizard from Waterdeep.

A Heart As Cold As Ice by Defira (207094, Explicit) Content Notes: Graphic Depictions of Violence (canon-typical violence) Pairings: Gale/Tav

The story of a drow warlock, Ryme'dra Ulutar, trying to escape from centuries of being wielded as a weapon, and Gale Dekarios. The fic alternates between Rhyme's past and Gale's present (during the events of the game).

Reccer says: This story features incredible worldbuilding and character development intertwined with a powerful, heartwrenching, entertaining romance. Rhyme is such a nuanced and engaging character, and the author absolutely nails Gale's voice.

Four of Swords by positivejam (3676, Explicit) Content Notes: Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings, Dubious Consent Pairings: Astarion/Gale, Gale/Shadowheart, Gale/Minthara

It’s Shadowheart that helps him dredge the Chionthar. It’s Minthara who pulls the crown from the deepwater muck. And it’s Astarion who places it upon his head. Another gift. No. A reward.

Reccer says: [pats fic] This one lives rent free in my head. Gale corruption arc! Subby, power-hungry Gale trying to rationalize bad choices! Ritual sex! It's really good, I promise.

A beast in the belly by librarypirate (730, Teen) Content Notes: Graphic Depictions of Violence Pairings:

Arcane hunger and intrusive thoughts, pragmatic and almost tempting.

Reccer says: Short and to the point, this depicts Gale's arcane hunger in a much more violent, primally evocative way than I tend to see in other works, and I've thought about it a lot since first reading this one.

Unintentional Surveillance by darkheartedrose (14821, Explicit) Content Notes: None Pairings: Gale/The Dark Urge

Gale hadn’t taken the tadpole into consideration when he’d started fantasizing earlier. Should have thought about the possibility that the parasite in his head may interpret his yearning in such a way that could cause it to resonate with Rhune’s.But he hadn’t. So now this was happening.

Reccer says: Quite literally sexting by tadpole, in the funniest (and smuttiest) use of that trope I've seen yet.

Both Sides Now by spacesunderstairs (5158, Explicit) Content Notes: Major Character Death Pairings: Gale/Minthara

Gale finds himself caught between two worlds and two names: the plain Gale Dekarios, or the wizard prodigy, Gale of Waterdeep. When he’s captured by a mysterious drow woman, he sees two futures: humility, or power– and the potential pleasures each path may provide.

Reccer says: A really excellent, compelling character study with plenty of spice and an extremely bittersweet ending.

To Life by vatisvera (2178, Teen) Content Notes: None Pairings: Gale & Jaheira

Wherein Jaheira tries to knock some sense into one of her newer “cubs”.

Reccer says: Beautifully poignant, well-written, made me cry (but in a good way!)

orphan hours by vertigo_cycle (4705, Teen) Content Notes: Gale-typical suicidal ideation Pairings: Gale & Astarion

Gale has a terrible time in the Shadowcursed Lands. Astarion attempts an intervention.

Reccer says: Really atmospheric, angsty, silly, and sweet all at once.

Suffer The Sting by ACrowsRockCollection (2001, Teen) Content Notes: N/A Pairings: Gale/Wyll

Bladesinger Gale spars with Wyll homoerotically.

Reccer says: THE TENSION. Extremely horny for a fic where nothing outright sexual is happening, with a dash of that signature Gale pining.

Something from my local BW3

[detective-like-i-give-a-damn]

gonna start reviewing my fast food purchases not because I think anybody cares but so I stop inadvertently ordering something I didn't enjoy last time

buffalo wild wings

what I ordered:

actually I got the potato wedges instead of fries

what I got: no sauce! my maple chipotles! missing! gutted

the chicken: tough. not cold at least. dribs and drabs of extra beer batter which was okay. I don't think it would have been compatible with the sauce I selected anyway.

the potato wedges: good portion size! makes bojangles commit suicide. they were crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside with no off-putting herbs like the ones from walmart. not a bad word.

the sauce: absent but I have had it before on their boneless wings. it was really tasty. that's why I wanted more. they don't sell the seasonal flavors in bottles at the restaurant, sadly.

My comic shop is closing, so I didn't get Boy Wonder #3 today and I'm kinda mad about it. The bigger shop didn't have it on their shelves either. I need to go to the Other comic shop I like(just slightly further than the one closing) and set up a pull list(and see if they have #3)

[yusuke-of-valla]

[cheemken]

The last ask really got me thinking abt Drayton and Iris now bc I have not stopped thinking abt Iris being the older one in my hcs PLEASE LISTEN TO ME THIS HAS PLAGUED MY MIND WHILE I WAS WORKING

Cause y'know, in my hcs if Iris is the older one then she is at least three years older than Drayton, so when Iris was taken in by Drayden, Drayton was around 2 at most, so for almost all his life, Iris had been around, his big sis, his playmate when they were younger, his mentor alongside their grandfather, she was like a role model to him

But also, Iris being a prodigy kinda messed w him a bit, cause she did so well w battles, she's already a strong trainer since she was young, at 12 she became Opelucid's Gym Leader, then a year later she became Unova's Champion, probably it's longest running Champion too present time

And he, well, he had to redo his second year at school, but he had smth at least, he became the champion of the school's own league, the BB league, he was proud of it, and Iris was proud of him when he became the school's Champion, and that was one of the highest praises he got. Ofc, his sister, who's the region's champion, being so proud of him for being his own school's champion, for being the strongest trainer in the academy, ofc he ate it up. At least someone was proud of him.

It would also be cool but also low-key sad if you squint if Iris actually trained Drayton more than Drayden trained him. And not like Drayden neglected him, ofc not, but Iris just had more time to do so since Drayden was also busy w being mayor of the city and being its Gym Leader. Sharing the champion title, Iris at least didn't have to worry much when she's not at the league, bc Hilbert can cover for her, so during her spare time, she trains Drayton

And idk it would make a bit of sense, he's good at battling, before Kieran really went above and beyond w his own training, Drayton was considered the strongest at the academy, he is Champion level, was a Champion, bc he was trained by a Champion

But also it would be funny since they look nothing alike that when Drayton talks abt her, people would be all "your sis sounds cool, but who is she anyways?"

"My sis? Wow, you really don't know her? You live under a rock or something?" Then he laughs and just "my sister, Iris, she's the Champion. Surely you know her. Who doesn't?"

"CHAMPION IRIS??? YOU TWO LOOK NOTHING ALIKE THO???"

"yes we do, look at the purple streak on my hair. It's the same shade as hers."

[cassioppenny]

i miss cheren tails. i miss him a lot.

[jaredthebc2]

Pokemon Presents always has me hyped and also intimidated

Cause on the one hand we get cool stuff on the other we could potentially get a BDSP version of Gen 5 and that's a scary thought
