Quick reminder that our favorite wizard has +4 strength over both Gale and Astarion, +3 over Wyll, and +2 over Halsin. He'd have no problem picking you up and throwing you into bed.
So, we all love Gale’s mirror image/simulacrum, and how the ‘certain measure of Gale’s personality’ that he retains is Gale’s sweet, dorky charm…but is Gale himself aware of this?
I don’t believe we ever see Gale actually interact with his mirror image, as it always appears as a replacement when Gale is elsewhere.
It’s possible Gale has always just assumed he’s created this 100% straightforward, serious mirror image who radiates scholarly intelligence…because surely, that’s the aspect of his personality that it would pull from, right?
Imagine if one night, after Gale and Tav are married and living in Waterdeep, they start reminiscing about their romance. Tav brings up their first night together, and mentions how surprised they were to see Gale’s mirror image standing in his place at camp.
Gale is pleased, and says with a gentle laugh that he hopes Tav wasn’t too intimidated by his simulacrum’s stoic nature.
To which Tav responds oh no, not at all! They loved how adorable he was, and they still remember the cute pose he did to represent Gale’s personality!
Gale (perplexed): …darling, whatever do you mean? What pose…?
I think we are not talking enough about Astarion's low grunts of pleasure during the kisses. and his long satisfied sighs afterwards
and in case if you were wondering there are two types of moans and sights for each kiss. the ones where he grunts more, and the ones where he sighs in the end. one of those versions on the video 🤍
