Bestie you know it's because they're two attractive men in close proximity to each other. When it comes to shipping men together, the tumblr girls are usually brainless and throw all morality out of the window. I mean, the fact that Sam x Dean was a popular ship at one point explains everything you need to know.

Going into the Star Wars tag to see so many people ship Obi-wan x Anakin is incredibly unsettling for me as someone who is older. Obi-Wan was a full adult when he met nine year old Anakin and practically raised him. He’s Anakin’s mentor, older brother, father figure. That would be like shipping Anakin and Ahsoka. It perpetuates a grooming dynamic. And it makes me so incredibly uncomfortable. There’s a power dynamic as well. Can someone explain the appeal? Because I’m all about the idea of “live and let ship.” But the fact that this isn’t just a silly unserious crackship, but people actually thinking it’s secretly canonical is scary to me.

I said I wasn't going to romance any of the male companions in bg3, but I romanced Gale for the first time and I have thoughts...

#shadowheart will always be my one true love #but Gale has me blushing and kicking my feet #like SIR #also romanced him AS shadowheart #I already romanced shadowheart as Gale and loved it #but it was definitely a different experience romancing him with her #still my favorite ship #and I think I kind of have a crush on Gale now lmao

If you don't like the idea of Gale being a father in YOUR game with your Tav or just with any character in general, then, girly by all means don't headcanon it. But actively trying to gatekeep the character, by shaming those who do, well....why be an asshole?

So listen, Gale girlies who want Gale to be a dad, (if this doesn't apply to you then scroll). Gale absolutely has dad energy. I've seen a lot discussion about the "I'm not exactly father material" line he says during act 3 and I'm not the first to say this, but I'm here to remind you that you can't take everything the companions say at face value, because these are complex characters and it's not always black and white. As others have said before, Gale not only has the orb in his chest at the time, but the tadpole, and your situation with him is uncertain and unstable. Of course he's not going to think of himself as father material in that moment. Why? Because it's something so far out of his reach. Gale has a lot of self-esteem issues, and I can definitely see him wanting to be a dad in the future, but unsure if he would even be a good one, but once he is a father, being the absolute dad of dads. Also saying you're not "parent" material, does not automatically equate to "not wanting to be a parent." These feelings can exist separately.

If I do recall, I did see a scene where Tara mentions something about Gale starting a family? Gale finding normalcy and having the things he could never have with Mystra makes perfect sense for his character, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Gale can definitely be seen as a father and would make a great dad. The people who claim so boldly that he wouldn't want children with Tav, are just projecting and they don't see these characters with nuance, they just hear the character say something in the game, and just decide with a gold medal in mental gymnastics that (you're mistaking his "dad energy" for "mother energy" which is actually just "malewife" energy) and spew their own biases out in "hot take" posts with every intention of ruining things for others. It's mean spirited, and should be ignored.

I see you all with your cute little headcanons, naming your Tav and Gale's children, and some of you with amazing fan art. I've seen you draw your little Tav/Gale families. It's precious and it's sweet. Keeping doing what you're doing, and don't let the gatekeepers bring you down. Seeing Gale as a father is perfectly valid.

K. Bye.

#gale dekarios #bg3 gale #gale of waterdeep #gale x tav #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #fandom critical #said I was going to stay out of bg3 discourse #but honestly this needed to be said #some of y'all are annoying #and yes I am calling out a very specific person with that “dad energy” “mother energy” is actually “malewife” energy line #also that post has like 500 likes #and if its any consolation #I saw a tiktok about Gale being dad coded and it has like 10k likes SO yeah. There's that.

My favorite people are the bg3 players who say Gale is a red flag or the most "flawed" character all while romancing Astarion, and even better, the ones who romance ascended Astarion and think he loves their Tav. Oh man, they're my favorite people ever. (sarcasm)

I cannot stand the baldur's gate 3 fandom. They are actively ruining the game for so many people. Just let people play the damn game how they want and enjoy it how they want. Stop gatekeeping and stop telling people how they should view the characters, or how they should play the characters, or how they should romance the characters. Stop telling people how they should play their game. I've seen so many takes recently that are actively SHAMING people for how they play their own game and how they perceive the characters. People play games like Bg3 to temporarily escape and wind down. But then I get online and see posts that make me want to yell into the void. I left this site for a year and I'm officially logging off again. I cannot tolerate or handle fandom anymore. People take fandom way too seriously and think it's okay to tell people they are playing the game wrong, because they have a different opinion.

Telling people they can't romance certain characters with female tavs, shaming people for having headcanons that make them happy about the characters. Getting mad because someone doesn't like your favorite companion. Shaming people because they chose to play the game a certain way. Like be so fr. I'm done.

#I forgot how much I HATE fandom #literally I thought the got fandom was horrible #the bg3 fandom is the most insane fandom I've ever been a part of #I don't want to be a part of it anymore #I just want to play my game in peace without your hot takes and chronically online opinions

people who've never been in lesbian situationship need to sush about "how it doesn't make sense for alicent/rhaenyra to have any feelings of longing or love towards each other because *gestures at everything*" you just don't get it.
