Growing up Skyrim was my favorite game and also a means to distract myself from home and relationship problems. So, when I heard this quote after so long I immediately thought of Astarion😌✨
These games both have such rich story and lovely characters🥹
I didn't fall in love with a God, Gale. I didn't even fall in love with an Archmage.
I fell in love with a man from Waterdeep, shovelling the shit with the rest of us. I fell in love with a man who would sit by the pot for hours, making sure it wouldn't boil over. I fell in love with a man who I imagined I could kiss, not because he showcased his potential power, but because it looked lovely when he blushed.
Can Gods blush, Gale?
Can they?
OOF this one HURT!! It's non-canon to my playthrough, Gale is very much still just a guy and happy enough that way, but that one Everything Everywhere All At Once quote has been stuck in my head ever since I saw God!Gale for the first time. Gale's folly indeed.
(id: a comic panel. a yellow box reads "the god of ambition, leave your offering." a shadowed figure stands in front of a large statue of ascended god gale. they're looking up at him, tiny in comparison, and a speech bubble coming from them reads "in another life, i would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you." end id.)
"All you have is your fire. And the place you need to reach. Don't you ever tame your demons. But always keep 'em on a leash." - Arsonist's Lullabye by Hozier
Got inspired by those midsummer nights dream pics, you know the ones
I dont have context for this other than I’m insane with tav thoughts but via discord chat i decided the background for this would be at some point post game Mamzell struck a deal with Mrinthyr to come by every so often and set up a little booth or table to sell ✨ special fun herbs and potions and perfumes ✨ to clients (or employees) 😘
Not sure what the context for Halsin being there would be. Maybe Sharess’ Caress is having some special event and he got invited as a plus one (or temporarily hired by Mamzell as muscle to scare off any troublemakers)
Anyway Mamzell has a specific dress code vibe hence the outfits. Ive decided this just now so its canon in my mind
