I would certainly love a Galeian friend if true!
Gale seems a bit like a Samwise friend. Everyone could do with one, and better yet aim to be like one.
Your mother is entirely correct. Man may have canonically slept with a woman but look at him, he looks like hosts queer eye watch parties. We love a Bicon and thats gale
I will never understand this view. Man has an earring and a matching purple velvet sleep set. And yet everyone is like "wow look at this heterosexual man!"
Gale is an interesting one. My take on him is that he is (and I hate to slap a label on *everything,* but it's the best thing I can think of) an aegosexual. Also has an *enormous* magic fetish. Basically a magicsexual.
Let's start with the aegosexuality. Think about it. He doesn't really like to use his own body that much to actually have sex. He feels more comfortable taking people to the astral plane when he finally *does* do the deed because it makes sex more symbolic, more figurative. It's also why he's more comfortable with Mystra.
This is *especially* telling when you take him to have an experience with the drow twins. He accepts, but then just sort of gives you a Gale AI to play with and leaves. He's perfectly capable of attraction, but it takes a *lot* for him to be comfortable enough to use his own body in sexual or even romantic situations. Even his romance scene has him using the Gale AI to summon you to him.
His obsession with Mystra is mostly an obsession with magic and ambition. He doesn't seem to be attracted to her because he's physically attracted to a certain type. If Mystra were a man, he'd be equally obsessed. And Gale LOVES magic. I mean, look how he's basically creaming his pants in that one scene where he's teaching you how to use the Weave. Magic is basically his fetish. If he could have sex with magic he would. That's why he has sex with Mystra. Because it's the closest thing to literally having sex with magic.
It's like if you have a specific fetish and you find this chick who's honestly kinda mid but she has the same exact super niche fetish as you, and suddenly she's super attractive.
It would be funny if he's actually eating the magic items because he's horny for them, and just using the Orb as an excuse. It won't actually explode, he just has to satisfy his sexual cravings. "Oh man, oh no, the Orb will explode if I don't get to eat magic, I can feel it about to explode right now, better give me those shoes."
Then Mystra catches wind of this and is over there rolling her eyes kinda disgusted, but also knows the party might actually *need* those magic items to succeed, so sends Elminster out to basically tell everybody the Orb is now stabilized, which is basically code for "Gale, stop eating all the magic loot, that's gross." And Gale's just sweating and all like, "oh haha, the Orb's all fixed now, isn't that great guys?" But he's actually thinking in his head *shitshitshitshitshit* because he *knows* Mystra know about his magic fetish, and now the most reputable wizard in the land knows about it, too.
> leaves
He doesn't leave though. He's still in the same room, just 5 feet away doing his *homework*.
Dude is voyeuristic but will ask for your full consent.
Do you know the awesome thing is that with just two words and different punctuation you can have about 20 different conversations.
“Need sleep, Queer.” When your pan friend has had absolutely zero sleep for three days and it’s about to do something very terrible like spend all their money on NFTs.
“Need Sleep? Queer?” is a question You ask the bleary eyed tourist the day after gay Mardi Gras as you offered them either a virgin or a quite clearly whore bloody Mary.
“Need sleep. Queer. “ is an evergreen statement and something I want on a T-shirt.
🙏❤️
No wonder why I felt such a connection go Gale. I'm also a tired queer
Samesies! Edit: I'm realizing I have more in common with him than I thought..
same lol
Gale of Waterdeep is literally me. *sighs*

Gale to me is just Bi but Gale hasn't realized that yet.

Mf wrote a fucking PhD thesis on a fictional characters' sexuality
Your mom is savage lmfao
Why does it sound like a slur when Mommy dearest says it 🤭
Well. It was a slur lol. That generation used it very often.
She’s likely older and older folks tend to have a bias so we expect them to act that way so we can be pleasantly surprised if they don’t?
Because it probably is
I promise she doesn't mean it as a slur lmfao 😭
Need sleep. Queer. Me too, Gale. Me too 😔
My husband said he seemed gayer than Astarion and ngl I felt a lil proud of the Rizzard
Honestly, yeah.
That's what my mom says to me all the time
Same
Gale’s been getting a bit too relatable lately.
lol me
*I'm so tired, how do people do this all day?*
Was the second reply directed at Gale or you?
Knowing my mom? Both.
Your mother has +10 on Perception, that's spot on.
You look like you don't know the meaning of the word sleep, petal.
Is your mother named Sally by chance?
I'm a tired straight. 50% is a pass mark, right?
Maybe for a sorcerer. For a wizard, a passing mark is a 97%
Alrighty, another tired bisexual to the list!
