my friend @vilemoonwitch just told me about the fact that gale is the only li who doesn't need to be persuaded to stay with the protag or just leave them outright if they chose to become a mind flayer in order to defeat the absolute.
in fact, very little changes for him. he still proposes, he still wishes to take the protag to waterdeep:
you'd really wish to marry me, in my present condition?
and all he says is, "your 'present condition' is that you're the one i love. and your current form is merely a reflection of the depths of your sacrifice. it only makes me love you more."
the love and devotion gale has for the protag are something else entirely.
I didn't know you felt so strongly, Gale.
(affectionately) you look very throwable
I'm crying I love Batstarion!!!!!

I have learned new information. This is from a post about how to get the most disapproval points from companions.
Can’t stop laughing at the idea of Gale stomping his feet in anger, not because Astarion is a vampire but because he’s lying about it
his eyes are actually so round and soft I’ll die
