Professor Dekarios: Class, today we’re going to work on conjuring highly-detailed illusory spells. I must warn you that we’re going to have quite the long day ahead of us, however, I do assure you that the result of such study will be more than worth the effort involved! Allow me to demonstrate… *lifts hand palm-up, conjures a perfect likeness of his partner’s face*

Professor Dekarios:

*stares longingly at illusion*

*stares longingly at illusion*

*stares longingly at illusion*

Professor Dekarios: *dispells illusion, begins packing up* …class, upon further review I think it best if you attempted your first efforts at this technique from your own homes, therefore class is dismissed for the day.

GALE????

Imagine a scene from Bhaal’s perspective, sometime towards the end of Act II. Where Bhaal knows Scleritas has located the Dark Urge, they’re together, and they’re traveling towards Baldur’s Gate.

And Bhaal is giddy/triumphant because his favored spawn is making his way back to him, and will soon rejoin the plot to massacre Faerun via the Absolute. He just can’t help but summon Myrkul and Bane, because he wants to gloat.

“BEHOLD MY GLORIOUS SON, WHOSE VEINS COURSE WITH MY UNHOLY BLOOD!” he cries gleefully. “LET US SEE WHAT HORRORS HE HAS WROUGHT UPON FAERUN AS HE MAKES HIS WAY TO MY TEMPLE, AND RECLAIMS HIS RIGHTFUL TITLE AS SLAYER!”

Then he conjures a projection to show all of the Dark Urge’s actions since escaping the Nautiloid, certain it’s going to be a bloodbath…and instead it’s just [montage of Durge and Gale holding hands, flirting, smooching, gazing lovingly at each other, more smooching, Durge plucking a wildflower and tucking it behind Gale’s ear, still more smooching, smooching with tongue, hugging, Durge playing with Gale’s hair, Gale playfully pinching Durge’s cheeks, smooching & moaning, and finally the full-on Astral sex scene]

And we get to watch as Bhaal takes 800,000 points of psychic damage

Can I just say a huge THANK YOU for the BombSquad / HeatWeave content! Such an under appreciated ship but unloved watching your clips ❤️❤️

❤️ Aw thank you!! Very excited to hear from a Gale x Karlach fan! From my last count, there are…um…like a couple dozen of us total 😂 So as Gale would say—always a delight to speak with you!

For me, I always enjoy love stories with a nontraditional or unexpected pairing, and a Wizard and a Barbarian are definitely unexpected. (As Gale himself says: ‘She’s a little rough around the edges…but I suppose I can be smooth enough for two. Heh.’) But I think Gale and Karlach also have a lot of similarities and compatibility that tends to get overlooked, especially in regards to shared experiences that would deepen their understanding of one another.

They both have kind hearts, they both want to help others, they’re both unshakably loyal with their love, they’re both extremely passionate individuals, and they both have had to experience the trauma of being discarded and left to die in a ‘ticking time bomb’ scenario. In addition, their particular skill sets align and complement each other in unexpected ways. For example: what cracked me up the most when doing my Karlach origin run is that Gale’s approval of her shot up faster than it did with my original Tav—because Gale is all about avoiding violence whenever possible, and Karlach’s barbarian intimidation was PERFECT for that. So, we’d come upon a tense situation with some thugs, Karlach would scream BACK OFF at the top of her lungs to frighten them off, and Gale would stand there watching with hearts in his eyes.

And in addition, their party banter is super cute, with them teasing each other back and forth about Gale’s obsession with books and Karlach’s complete aversion to them. They also share a couple lines about drinks and ale, too, so I’m sure they would have a blast together spending time at the Yawning Portal.

Finally, we already know that a romanced Gale happily goes to Avernus with her (and finds it rather charming, which is just the ultimate Gale thing to do) but this line from a romanced Karlach in a Gale origin run just really solidifies why I adore these two so very much:

Gale: My future's no more certain than your own. But when I dare to imagine having one, it's always you I see beside me.

Karlach: I'm seeing you at a desk. Pile of books up to the ceiling. And me barging in with a brace of rabbits for supper. You start chopping carrots. I stoke the fire. And every night is the best night we've ever had.

The Difference

2024, England.

When a portal appears in your living room and Gale Dekarios tumbles out of it, you think you are going insane. But truth is stranger than fiction, and things are rarely what they seem.

A story of love and its complications, the boundaries between reality and fiction, and the cages we build for ourselves.

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…?

Cue Tav, perfectly miming this:

Gale:

HE DID WHAT

Me, September 2023 *squinting at Reddit*: What the hell is a baldur

Me, April 2024: I have now determined the exact location of the metalworkers guild Gale and Tav would use to craft their traditional Waterdhavian fused wedding rings

i haven’t known peace since i became aware of gale dekarios and pulled him out of that rock.

Ah, my friendly anon, I know your pain!

You may want to sit down and brace yourself, but I’m afraid this is it for you now. Gone are the days when you could simply go about your life without thinking about the wizard 24/7.

He is inside your brain now, safely lodged in there like a sexy tadpole, and he’s not going ANYWHERE.

Having a shower first thing in the morning? Oh, I wonder what it would be like to shower with Gale.

Listening to a random song the radio? Oooh but the lyrics just remind me of Gale.

It just started storming outside? A rough tempest I will raise.

Embrace it, my friend. Descend into madness. You’re in good company.

Gale at the end proposal scene, completely besotted, watching Tav mutter and possibly even drool a bit in their sleep, and still being like: Gods, they are perfection itself! I MUST ask for their hand in marriage, I need to lock this down sooner rather than later…

Tav (snoring loudly)

Gale: 🥰 Locking this down today.

Tav (mouth agape as they sleep, a goofy look on their face)

Gale: 😍 LOCKING THIS DOWN AS SOON AS THEY AWAKEN
