BABES I'M FROTHING.............I am a proud supporter of the Demi Gale Agenda ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Gale demi essay when? 👀
WELL SINCE YOU ASKED XD (Seriously thank you <3)
First things first. The man is devoted. When he loves, he gives his entire heart and soul to his partner. He thrives on a deep connection, and we're all aware of the nerd rizz that drew us to him in the first place.
However, the man is also damn-near OBLIVIOUS when someone starts to flirt with him. It takes a literal mind-reading connection for him to understand that Tav MIGHT like him (because of course picturing kissing him with passion isn't enough to 100% confirm! /s)
"But Gale still has sex with the player" you might ask me. And you are would be correct, but being aspec/demi isn't just about not having sex with someone, it's a lack of attraction until a deep emotional bond is formed. And I do believe Gale forms that bond with Tav before sex happens in act 2.
Some may say that he's just holding back because of the orb, but with the way he seems genuinely surprised that Tav flirts with him at the Tiefling Party, I think he's just using the orb as an excuse to not move things too fast.
Even after the orb is cured, it takes some time (and some water-testing bold flirtations in the shadowlands) to confirm that they're both on the same page before he takes anything further.
When he finally does confess his true feelings to Tav, he doesn't just hit them with an "I love you." No no, that's too vague. He has to give them the full "I'm in love with you." just so they know he means it with his entire orb-filled chest.
He talks about how he wishes they had more time. How "if things were different" he would have taken the time to do things properly, because, as he also says, he cannot change who he is, or how he loves. (let me tell you, as an ace, that line hits HARD)
This is just a side note but if you tell him his kissing is 'out of practice', he says he wishes you two had more time to practice together, and the thoughts of Gale spending time devoted exclusively to kissing his partner, without the pressure or expectations of anything more... You see where I'm going with this (I hope)
Not to mention, even after feelings (and a feelings-cementing kiss) have been exchanged, and he knows Tav feels the same way, he still feels the need to deepen that bond even further before they take things all the way!
He takes them on a magical tour of his home T_T to show them where he came from through what little glimpses into his life he can share. He could just get down to the magical sex part, but he wants Tav to know him in every way.
Physically, emotionally, even spiritually! Gale Dekarios doesn't JUST have sex (unless that is what Tav prefers) he will fuse their souls together in the Weave until they are together as one. (Also, as an ace myself, I think the Weave Sex is fascinating in the fact that there's a way to bond with a partner without using physical bodies. I wish that were real tbh, it sounds very cool!!!)
He knows they don't have the time to act out whatever romantic timeline he had in his head when he first caught feelings (At the very least he hoped to take them on an actual DATE first) but he wants to make damn sure he expresses his love for Tav in the only way he can, with what little time they have left.
Anyway Demi Gale thoughts live in my head rent free, thank you for letting me rant about this on main.
A small tribute to BG3 :)
IT IS TIME
Writing a Baldur’s Gate 3 Fanfic of the whole game with my Tav (Tavian) and his misadventures with the whole bg3 crew. Though it might seem like it in the first few chapters he will not be romantically involved with Astarion but they do become besties who look out for each other. It warms my heart as I’m writing it because they’re both helping each other out because they care, but they don’t *have* to be in love. They’re supportive and get really close and can read each other so well. He’ll be going through and exploring his childhood of losing his parents to a devil pact they made with a certain poetic devil. It’ll also just generally be a lot of fun I think because I’m having a lot of fun writing it and having the characters interact so freely. It won’t be centered on romance but the adventures and bonds these idiots grow together.
Anyway, is this basically an ad for my new fic? Yes. Let me know if you guys are actually interested in reading it i already have 2 1/2 chapters written and the first chapter comes out on AO3 on the 19th of this month :)
