while it’s perfectly fine to have your own headcanons that are non-canon compliant — by all means, go wild. recognizing pieces of yourselves in fictional characters can be a very healing and validating experience. this is nonetheless a casual, well-intentioned reminder that gale, in fact, does not have bpd.
bpd is a pervasive pattern of instability affecting interpersonal relationships, self-image, and mood. the disorder is marked by impulsivity beginning in early adulthood and is present in a variety of contexts. a diagnosis requires at least 5 of the following 9 criteria to be met:
Fear of abandonment
Unstable or changing relationships
Unstable self-image; struggles with identity or sense of self
Impulsive or self-damaging behaviors (e.g., excessive spending, unsafe sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating).
Suicidal behavior or self-injury
Varied or random mood swings
Constant feelings of worthlessness or sadness
Problems with anger, including frequent loss of temper or physical fights
Stress-related paranoia or loss of contact with reality
source: [x]
i highlighted the criteria that do apply to gale in one way or another in a pretty purple.
i personally believe that it’s rather harmful to equate his relationship with mystra with her being “his fp”. she is a deity, his goddess, and the source of his powers, who is in in full control of the magic he wields.
Tumblr media
gale: mystra commands all magic. salvation, if such a thing exists, is hers to bestow or withhold.
gale has been effectively groomed and conditioned to serve and revere her at every turn since early childhood. imo this comparison really undermines a lot of crucial points in gale’s story that deal with his overall trauma and abuse. after all, you wouldn’t call shar sh*dowhe*rt’s fp either.
gale doesn’t revile mystra, nor does he commit benevolent deeds solely motivated by the secret hope that she will somehow notice and take him back. when you meet gale in the game he has already fully come to terms with the fact that he has been abandoned by mystra with no hope of reconciliation whatsoever. he also had some very fitting lines in ea regarding this topic that i'm sad haven't been repurposed in the full release in some way.
gale: [the tadpoles] don't know that some things are impossible. they don't know that... they don't know. player: what is impossible about what you're being shown? gale: forgiveness. gale: it is mystra i see. and yet it cannot be her. there was a time when i would have believed - but no longer. gale: suffice it to say she would not bestow upon me the favors promised in these dreams. that is how i know they are delusions.
he has already reached the stage of acceptance. moreover, gale only starts to realize that mystra might have been in the wrong for requesting his death once the tadpole squad & tav speak some sense into him. and even then he doesn’t ever show that his emotions regarding mystra are anywhere along those lines. he is instead rightfully angered that she only saw value in his death, after he had been worshipping her loyally for years.
Tumblr media
gale: i worshipped mystra loyally for years, and in that time she granted me the barest sliver of the power i was ready to wield. gale: even with the fate of the world at stake, she had little more to offer me than the means of blowing myself up at a more convenient time. she's done nothing to help us.
Tumblr media
gale: you abandoned me in my hour of greatest need. i had no obligation to help you in yours. gale: because you had no right to ask that of me. you cast me out, remember?
gale doesn’t display rapid changes in mood either. he is a character who is generally very composed and has been known to remain nonchalant even in the face of utter horror. tim downie himself even commented on this once. source: [x]
the only instance i can think of is his sudden switch from resigned-to-death to utter-eye-sparkling-enthusiasm once he spots the crown of karsus. apart from crucial story reasons that i won’t touch upon in this post, i’d also like to add that it’s a rather common phenomenon for people who have just barely survived a suicide attempt to suddenly be filled with zeal and unbridled energy. he doesn't display impulsivity without thorough consideration when it comes to its acquisition either. he considers this a golden opportunity and is positively enthusiastic and elated that this might prove an alternative to him ending up in a cloud of netherese smoke. nonetheless, he knows what he is doing. evident in him actually succeeding in ascending in one of his endings.
Tumblr media
gale: this is no passing whim, trust me. if i can obtain that crown, it will affect us all. it is not a decision i'll take lightly. gale: it's our future that i'm thinking of - we can't rely on anyone else to do it for us. gale: for now - we've learned all we can.
neither are his relationships that we do know of (namely elminster, tara, and morena) frequently changing. they are marked by years of mutual respect, care, and consistency. there is nothing unstable about them. while it's important to note that his relationship with tav is still in its honeymoon stages during the main game, there is no inclination of any push-and-pull dynamic between them whatsoever.
gale isn’t preoccupied with keeping up some sort of benevolent act in order to win (back) affection — he genuinely IS a good person and he proves this at every turn. moreover, to have a tressym become your familiar you must be of Good alignment.
Tumblr media
(taken from tumblr user galedekarios's post.)
there is never a moment where his ideals or alignment suddenly change. in fact, i’d argue that he and wyll are most consistent in this regard when compared to the rest of the companions. gale makes his moral standpoint very clear from the beginning on and also explicitly states that he believes that in order to survive this entire ordeal it would be selfish of him if he wouldn’t be willing to compromise on his morals. this isn’t a sudden bout of ✨muahahaha wizard hubris✨ that he barely contained to hold in before, this is yet another act of selflessness — it is what he’s willing to do for the group and subsequently, the welfare of faerun.
Tumblr media
player: i love unsavoury things. don't feel guilty on my account. gale: that's good to know. although i should say i do what i do out of a sense of utility and pragmatism, not a love of the unsavoury. gale: we're up against the greatest threat faerun has ever faced. i don't mind getting my hands dirty if it gives us a better chance of surviving. gale: whatever advantage i can gain for us. i will. and i refuse to feel guilty for it, no matter how much mystra's chidings might echo in my skull.
this is him, once again trying to be useful in whatever way he can. to give them an advantage, a slither of hope against seemingly impossible odds, so they might make it out of this in one piece. gale wouldn’t approve of those actions under normal circumstances, but their predicament is as far from any definition of “normal” as it can get.
gale is no fool, he realizes this is essentially about survival. he knows that he has no option left other than to tolerate, which is why he can be convinced to not immediately depart tav’s company even if they choose to commit atrocities. this is no character flaw of his or him displaying a previously dormant openness for cruelty, this is about recognizing the necessity.
Tumblr media
player: you don't stand a chance alone. you're free to go. i dare you. gale: gods damn you - you're right. few things are more powerful than the will to live.
Tumblr media
gale: i thought the orb to be the greatest of my sins, but i see now that there are darker depths to which i might yet sink. you may be content to sink into that abyss, but i assure you - i am not.
gale doesn’t lead a split existence. he has a very strong sense of identity. he knows what he wants, what he doesn’t want and he isn’t shy in expressing his boundaries either. which he has especially shown when it comes to his relationship with tav. i originally had intended to touch upon this in another post entirely but: i firmly believe his entire Gale of Waterdeep™ persona is more of a performance than him struggling to find a sense of identity and trying them on for size. it is an intentional decision to separate gale dekarios from the great wizard of waterdeep, to create distance and make sure his family name remains untarnished in case things should ever go sideways.
Tumblr media
gale: i agree. and on the plus side, if i get myself into any truly cataclysmic straits during the remainder of our journey, my family name will go untarnished.
there is also a deep-rooted feeling of unworthiness and his firm belief that love and praise are conditional resources that he will only be granted through his talents alone, naturally. presenting himself as gale dekarios, the man, would mean highlighting his shortcomings and very human flaws, while distracting from the aspects of himself that are deemed praiseworthy, the ones that actually matter: his magical prowess.
i personally believe that part of the beauty of gale’s story is him realizing just how “little” it takes for him to be truly content. he gets his happy ending, with someone at his side who truly sees him, understands him and unabashedly commits to him. they worship and adore him in return — and it is well deserved. he isn’t reduced to be constantly and restlessly searching for some unattainable ideal to fill the gaping void within himself. he doesn’t secretly thirst for more power still or believes that in being with tav he is settling for something. instead, he is finally happy to just be. be and be accepted. teaching a class of unruly wizards and coming home to his spouse each day already fulfills him.
Tumblr media
gale: that's how i feel with you - content. it's a rather unfamiliar feeling, i must say. not something gale of waterdeep ever craved.
even if he doesn’t pursue a romance with tav, he reaches a realization of “oh, it appears i am not irredeemably flawed and only able to reach true redemption through my own death. what i needed was actually with me all along.” throughout their journey and through his friend's support. i think that’s a very powerful and comforting message. he is very well capable of finding peace within himself.
Tumblr media
devnotes: his default state is that he returned to waterdeep and became a professor of illusory magic at his former school, blackstaff academy. general vibe here is that this is a gale who's found peace with himself - he's a great teacher, one his students are mostly in awe of.
to repeat myself: sharing your headcanons is all in good fun, nor should you ever be discouraged from doing so. this is your personal tumblr experience, after all. but i personally think we should be mindful of unintentionally perpetuating negative stereotypes, such as narcissism being a general indicator or being deemed a classic depiction of bpd. i think we can all agree that the continuous longing for acceptance, connection, praise, and approval is something we all have in common deep down, regardless of whatever disorder we may have. [insert victoria justice meme here]
gale may be many things to many people, but he is no entitled narcissist.

Valentine’s Day Headcanon/Drabbles
I’m very slow with requests but I’m currently working on them! I just wanted to write something for Valentine’s Day. Also I don’t usually write Date Mark but since it’s Valentine’s Day I think it fits
Characters in Order: Darkiplier, Damien, Googleplier, Date Mark, Illinois, Eric Derekson, Jameson Jackson
Category: Fluff
Pronouns: They/Them, not used directly
Warnings: Writer’s favorites are obvious, swearing, somewhat spicy reference in Illinois’s but it’s not much
Darkiplier
- This is one of the only holidays he actually plans for and looks forward to
- He actually takes the day off for once to spend time with you
- Would wake you up with your favorite breakfast in bed
- After you’re done eating he cuddles you for a while
- Then he takes you shopping. He’ll buy you pretty much anything you want
- (He’d think it’s really sweet if you got him something too though, so you should do that. It doesn’t have to be expensive)
- Takes you to your favorite restaurant for lunch
- Y’all go for a walk and go to the library/zoo/aquarium (or whatever you prefer)
- He takes you to a fancy restaurant for dinner
- Y’all cuddle and watch movies when you get home <3
Damien
- Y’all stay in for the most part
- Cuddling and movies all day
- He got you flowers and a small gift
- He’d be happy with anything you got him <3
- Makes breakfast and lunch for you
- (Though he will love it if you both cooked together)
- Took you to a nice restaurant for dinner
Googleplier
- He didn’t really understand Valentine’s Day?
- He does his research though
- Goes probably too hard with it
- Ends up planning way too much
- When he wakes you up, he excitedly tells you about everything he planned
- …you very gently let him know that all of his plans would be incredibly stressful
- He’s a little sad at first, but he doesn’t want to stress you out, so he changes his plans to be a couple things
- You get each other some gifts
- You go out to your favorite restaurant for lunch
- Y’all spend the rest of the day cuddling
- Takeout for dinner
- He’s honestly really flustered the whole time
- Even if it isn’t exactly as he planned, he’s still really happy with how everything went <3
Date Mark
- This fucker lives for Valentine’s Day
- The whole speech he gave during ISWM about all the things he planned for the date?
- Yeah, since that didn’t happen, he saved it for today
- He’s actually a real sweetheart when Actor isn’t using him as a character
- Gets you a bouquet of roses, a teddy bear, a box of your favorite kind of chocolate, one of those heart lockets with a picture of both of you in it, and a little heart that he knitted for you
- He sobs of joy and appreciation when you get him something, no matter how small it is
- He takes you to dinner, the fair, and a movie
- And you both hold hands <33
- Y’all binge watch shows and cuddle for the rest of the night
Illinois
- He may be a flirty bastard
- That’s it that’s the sentence
- He does plan an adventure for the day!
- …y’all don’t really leave bed for a while though
- Most of it is cuddling!
- He ends up just taking you to the zoo or aquarium
- He almost cries in public when you get him a gift at the gift shop
- Dinner at the zoo/aquarium food court isn’t the most glamorous, but it was perfect for both of you
- Afterwards you watch cheesy romantic movies until you fall asleep
Eric Derekson
- He made plans! He’s just incredibly nervous to tell you!
- For this reason, you made sure he knew that you’d prioritize any plans he had, but you still had your own ideas
- He shyly brought up that he wanted to have a picnic
- You loved the idea, and your lunch was spent on a blanket in the park <3
- You got him a gift and it made him feel so loved it was great
- He got you some flowers and something you’d had on a gift wishlist
- He was so afraid you wouldn’t like it but he was reassured when you hugged him
- The rest of the day was just the two of you being sweet and romantic with each other
Jameson Jackson
- Gentleman of the year, honestly
- He crocheted some hearts and a little plushie for you
- Turned on some music and danced with you for a while <3
- He made you breakfast, and you make him lunch
- Y’all watched some of yours and his favorite movies for a while
- You gave him some flowers and chocolates
- He loves the classic gifts <3
- You order from y’all’s favorite restaurant for dinner
- The rest of the night is spent chatting and watching movies

fuck it, headcanon time. the psychology siblings and the von karma siblings are insufferable to watch tv with for different reasons -- athena and simon can't stop pointing out mental illness symptoms and diagnosing characters, while franziska and miles just tear into every tiny mistake together with relentless, scathing criticism. people ask the von karma siblings what's the point of watching something if they hate it and they're like "i literally never said that?? i love this show what are you talking about???? i just think that it's inexcusable that the crash mat was slightly visible in that one frame and that the continuity errors with the characters' clothes in that one scene were-"
