gale: *gets a paper cut from one of his books and starts bleeding*
astarion from the bed next to him: whore
They worship each other
Inspired by sating the hunger by Velwyn and rule #8 - otherside
The Allegiance of the Ascended Vampire and the New God of Magic
I think we're sleeping on bloodweave body swap. Gale and Astarion both having to deal with a different kind of hunger and then having to help eachother with it.
And on the plus side Astarion can finally see himself and see what's on his back
I made a bloodweave playlist... if you even care
astounds me how much hate gale gets through astarion lovers on tiktok bc ‘i don’t like him bc astarion doesn’t like him.’ which is WILD bc as someone who has romanced both, i just KNOW if companions were able to pursue a relationship with one another, you would never be able to detach astarion from that wizard’s teat long enough to take either of them anywhere
this started off as studies but then I got really bored and now it’s…… yeah
"gale is too good aligned to get along with astarion-" if you play the dark urge and get the scene in act 2 where you literally try to murder him he fucking tells you "at least there's plenty of enemies out there for you to kill! a feast for the violent at heart :)" entirely fucking unphased. you cannot tell me he would give a shit if astarion straight up started eating people as long as there was some vague reason for it. he's literally straight up telling you as long as it's aimed at foes and not friends he doesn't care if you engage in gleeful butchery for crying out loud
Love seeing bloodweave go from "hhhhhh look at my blorbos- does anyone else see the vibes?? anyone???" to a thriving community

Do you have any soft Gale/Astarion headcanons you're willing to share, please?
A few! But the most prominent ones living in my head will always be:
Astarion will bring all kinds of small things he finds that remind him of Gale and gift them to him. This sweet roll he…acquired from the market vendor? He knows it’s Gale’s favorite. The flower he found growing by the road? It’s his favorite color. That pebble from the docks? They are shaped just like his eyes!
And with time, Gale needs to acquire a bag of holding because he won’t even entertain the thought of getting rid of any of those small things.
Also, when Gale sees that Astarion is unhappy? He’s not straight up asking what’s wrong, he trust that Astarion will share his burdens when they become too much to bear, so he’ll just sit with him, either in silence or spinning an unbelievable tale or two to cheer him up. It works every time.
That’s me basically saying I headcanon their love languages to be gift giving for Astarion and quality time for Gale, I guess ^^
Thank you so much for both your time and for giving me an opportunity to talk about them! 💜
Astarion and Gale could definitely work through each others issues and help eachother I’m sure of it.
Didn't know my world was dark until you came
And you wilted with the lack of sun
Falling prey
To the weight
And dissaray
Now you know how it felt
Now you know why I needed it
i need gale to write a disgustingly saccharine poem about astarion and astarion to be utterly disgusted by the fact that it actually almost makes him cry 👍
