I think people are not understanding that to get Astarion’s approval up you don’t have to be mean you just have to be chaotic. The man is a toddler let loose off his leash for the first time in 200 years he doesn’t care about being mean he cares about being funny
When Astarion says “I prayed to all the gods. They never answered” and Wyll says “the only thing a god’s ever given me is a cold shoulder” and when Minthara says “there are no gods left for me”
if you even get it.
Sometimes i just rotate her in my head, then make her sad :)
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.
they're so soft

wyll is forever my number one <33
"I remember this! I choked on my own spittle during the recording and left it in!"
Give me a shot to remember and you can take all the pain away from me ‼️
(I think about bloodweave a healthy amount)
Tara interrogating our Tavs about our intentions towards Gale and insinuating that we'll meet a terrible end if we ever hurt him and we're just sitting there thinking "I am receiving the Shovel Talk from a flying cat, what even is my life now."
Astarion invented romance, he said so himself
