#some ppl apparently only recognise abuse if it's loud and visible

[galedekarios]

if you are trying to whiteknight mystra, maybe, just maybe, don't blame the child she groomed or try to argue that grooming actually exists on a spectrum

or say that gale already had a bit of an ego before he was found by elminster and chosen by mystra, i just

like idk what to tell you, but... he was around eight years old when that happened...... that'd translate to second/third grade,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and that might have to do something with the consequent actions he took over the years and growing up into an actual adult.............

just a thought..........................................................

#who do you think whispered in his ear that he was destined for greatness #no child thinks like that not a one #also idk how often it needs to be said: #but gale didn't know the book he opened contained a part of the karsite weave until act iii in the actual game #anyhow i'm tired of ppl trying to be like NUANCE and then they try their damnest to handwave that gale was groomed #and that that grooming influenced his actions #and no #mystra not shouting at him or making him kiss her feet or whatever in act iii #doesn't mean she's to be commended or that what gale went through is 'lesser' ughughguhghuuuuu #some ppl apparently only recognise abuse if it's loud and visible #ch: gale dekarios #vg: baldur's gate 3 #series: baldur's gate #text: personal #grooming cw #abuse cw #fandom critical #tbd
