[tee-dohrnii]

I'm not a writer! But because I'm not sure when I can finish the young Stellarweave comic, I'll just share what I had in mind for it. Thank you @emmy-dekarios-bg3 💜

All I ever wanted was

to be wanted by you / to stay by your side.

Because if you don't,

Who will?

Writing Game: post the last line you wrote and tag someone for every word in the line.

Thanks for the tag, @abysskeeper! <3 Have a waaaaaaay in the future sneak peek for the modern AU that @obvious-apostate and I are co-writing, Between The Cracks:

Jenevelle slipped her phone back in her pocket, picked up her evidence bag, made sure the spyware was active on Lorroakan’s computer, and stepped out of the office, intent on finding Rolan and getting a copy of the office key.

There are WAY too many words in that sentence, soooooo... gonna tag @kitoanthony @miradelletarot @obvious-apostate @greyias @storyknitter @elveny @queen-scribbles @angstmongertina @commander-krios and any other of my writing mutuals who I may have missed! <3

Okay but what if his students and friends actually know that he really likes these things and brings them up in conversation in front of him to see how he tries so hard not to react while gripping the edge of his seat in annoyance? What if they purposefully give bad takes to see his reaction, all while believing that he thinks he's so good at hiding his love for 'nerdy' things?

Nothing wrong with anyone's modern AU fics where there's no magic but y'all gotta remember something about Gale. This man's whole characteristic is that he is a big magic expert. He will tell you straight up you're not versed in magic because he's that sure of himself as a magic expert. You can all make him as sophisticated and bookworm and sexy and professor like as possible and give him something else he's an expert on all you want but you're missing an opportunity.

Make that man a closeted magic the gathering and d&d nerd who insists that wizards are the superior class. Make him get heated during a game. Make him so competitive and closeted about his passion for d&d and magic the gathering that he profusely struggles internally trying to keep his graceful composure professor persona in front of students arguing over the best spells and classes in D&D.

I’d love your thoughts on the gale romance endings like your thoughts on the proposal and the romance endings eg going back to waterdeep or going adventuring - thanks 💕💕

Note: This was the perfect Valentine’s Day ask! It’s uhh now the day after Valentine’s Day, but I did write most of this ON Valentine’s Day, so we’re going to say it still counts 💜

Anon, thank you for setting me up so perfectly to gush about Gale’s romance endings! Here is everything I love about them:

I love the whole entire proposal scene

I love that Gale is so down bad for Tav that he can’t even wait until their Hundur sauce dinner date before he proposes

I love Gale being so excited he wakes up first and just lies there thinking about marrying Tav

I love this part:

I love how, back when they were in the Stormshore Tabernacle to meet Mystra, Gale says he’s always wondered ‘what it’s like to be nervous’, and then when he proposes to Tav the dev notes say this:

(I also love how even the dev got nervous and misspelled ‘proposing’ as ‘promosing’)

I love the fact that Gale’s proposal isn’t polished & practiced & smooth, but instead, heartfelt and genuine and imperfect and sweet

I love the way Gale melts with relief when Tav says yes

I love how the romance goes full circle from this:

To this:

I love that they didn’t end the scene with Gale down on one knee, but instead ended it with Gale and Tav standing equal to one another

I love that Gale’s proposal remains 99% the same if Tav is an Illithid

I love that when Illithid Tav questions whether Gale really wants to marry them in their present condition, Gale replies: “Your ‘present condition’ is that you’re the one I love,” and he absolutely 100% means it

I love Gale’s entire epilogue dialogue

I love that Gale will happily stay in Baldur’s Gate to help rebuild, or go adventuring to other places, or start a book club in the Underdark, or go to Avernus, and no matter where he goes he’s happy because he’s with his beloved:

I love how if Gale and Tav go back to Waterdeep, Gale gets to be a Professor of Illusion and he adores it

I love how even as an esteemed Blackstaff Professor he still gets involved in (or directly causes) various wizarding shenanigans

I love how Gale is still a little bit insecure:

AND a more confident flirt:

I love Gale’s kiss and nose boop SO MUCH

To summarize: I absolutely freaking love the proposal and romance endings and everything about them

And YES OF COURSE I love Tara I could never forget that!

This your tav and Gale?

Close! Maybe instead of hyperactivity, it's overthinking and spiraling until Gale gives her a little smooch to calm her down

But more often than not, it's more like this:

Because Stelle's usually more shy and reserved around others but is randomly affectionate with Gale. It gets him every time

[tee-dohrnii]

I'll do it myself

Bonus:

The struggle of being a short race - don't want to be too hard on Gale's bad knees, but either he kneels or she needs to get some chair or box every time

💘 Click for a *MAGICAL* VALENTINE from Gale! 💘

TAG, YOU'RE IT! Share three pics of your OC, then send this to three of your mutuals on anon to keep the game going!

Really thinking about this again right now
