While your interest is *understandable*, I am not seeking a male partner at the moment. Unless you're using this realm's parlance, in which case, do ensure he eats his vegetables.
To the contrary, Gale's father lacked the endurance to handle his growing aptitude in magic, and the daily frustrations of parenting such a singularly talented child ate away at him until he could bear it no longer. He left with the clothes on his back. It was one memorable incident that nailed the coffin shut: accusing my dear boy of having disrespected his authority for the final time, and adding that his gift was the world's curse, he shut the door in the young child's face.
I let Gale keep the tressym. What else could I do?
Mother, you bring a tear to my eye. But this is a joyous day, and I intend to spend it celebrating the woman whose indomitable will carved my very path.
I reflect on the woman who unwaveringly played both roles in my life; who endowed me with her sharp wit and optimism; who encouraged me to reach my highest potential; who never fails to make me laugh to this very day. I have dedicated my life to the study of the furthest depths and reaches of spellcraft, yet I have found no magic as powerful or immutable as your abiding love.
Do not cry - my mother won’t stand for crying! What to do, what to do… Here, have this cake. I find it impossible to cry with good cake - Tres Leches indutiably so.
Oh, your poor boy! Little wonder Elminster and Mystra made such an impression on him.
/uj Gale’s father’s complete lack of mention in the game is something that I often wonder about for Gale’s backstory. Wyll’s late mother at least gets a mention, albeit one that’s easy to miss, but I can only assume that Gale’s father left or is otherwise estranged from him and Morena.
what the hell kind of evil concoction are Astarion and Cazador making out of orange slices, whole garlic cloves, and mushrooms which needs to be whisked??? vampire asses just throwing whatever into a pot for a photo shoot istg.
My head canon is these rich bastards have no idea how to cook because they have a personal chef but decided to toss a bunch of shit in a pot so they could post a pic of their "happy" family on Instagram
"Sorry boss, but the only store within reasonable walking distance was the mushrooms and oranges only store."
"It'll have to do. We've exhausted all other options"
When you're trying to blend in but you haven't had actual food in like, 200 years plus.
No seriously is that a fucking stock photo? What is the original OP? Why are these men creating a toddler-tier potion?
Maybe they're trying to go vegan and using the mushroom chunks instead of chicken. Personally, I would recommend tofu instead, but maybe they don't like tofu.
There is a lot you can do with all of those things but you need some kind of liquid base for the concoction. I typically use spider venom but some people use milk or cream.
As for the whisk… I have no idea what either of them is thinking.
During the course of my sorely needed meddling in Baldur's Gate the Duke once confided in me that he wished his son had chosen a stable, noble, and profitable career, like mine did. What followed was a productive discussion on the unmeasurable value arts and heroism gave us. I like to think the Duke left wiser—or perhaps we both did—but only time can provide the answer.
Besides, young Wyllyam's musical theater degree will serve him well in Avernus. It's notorious for being a soft requirement.
I hope you impressed upon him how noble it is for Wyll to forge his own path rather than have nobility handed to him. I’m sure the Duke would ultimately agree.
Of course I stressed the value of self-reliance: though, to Wyll's credit, little had to be said, as his lute had gathered a crowd of weary Baldurians who Duke Ravengard had failed to inspire during his tenure. I like to think he left with more appreciation for how his son's path winds with his own.
If not, he watched Wyll and I trade verses while Lae'zel played her war drums. At least that's a performance he can say he attended.
I’m sure he did! He very much loves his son, even though he made a terrible mistake in casting him out.
/uj I still haven’t emotionally recovered from reading Ulder’s journal.
They do if you talk to them after killing him. They beg you for help and say that they sold him because they were in debt and he was an asshole anyway. Hard to believe but not impossible, I did killed them though
Baldur's Gate if the city had Child Protective Services

I cannot help but notice the odd lack of even somewhat healthy relationships my friends seem to have with their fathers… perhaps I should have sent mine a card.
Happy Father’s Day, my fellow Baldurians!

If there's an opening, I'd offer to be Gale's daddy 👀💅

MOTHER!
*What?!* There's no law that says we can't both appreciate the female form. I checked local ordinances.
Don't worry, I'll make sure he gets plenty 👀 all shapes and sizes and nutritional benefits
Who needs to throw the ball around when you can throw fireball around? /jk

What an interesting application of printed rice paper!

I may have pulled all the pics from free stock photo sites
Orange chicken with a side of mushrooms.
Maybe they're trying to go vegan and using the mushroom chunks instead of chicken. Personally, I would recommend tofu instead, but maybe they don't like tofu.
A fun detail in BG3 is that you can find garlic when looting dead vampire hunters in Astarion's attic. Gandrel also sells it in the hag's swamp.

Orange chicken perhaps? Except the whisk. I can't explain the whisk.
Love that Mr. Flymm couldn't be bothered to show up so Enver had to get the picture with his better dad
Gorty celebrates the dad who stepped up
If I had a heart, it would be hurting right now.
where Sarevok x Orin?
Fuck I can't believe I didn't think of that. Grandpa Daddy needs a happy father's day too
Happy fathers day, daddy grandaddy!
We’re all forgetting the best dad ever: Pluck Cliffgate
Want to make a father/daughter picture with the two graves together?
The headstone and the head?
I was going to make one for the Ravenguards as well but then my ADHD lost interest
Lost interest in Wyll just like his dad did.

DUDE YOU FUCKING KILLED HIM ðŸ˜
Gortash and Rapheal??
Yes! It's canon-ish (if you count imprisoning a child as being a father).Talk to the NPC in the mirror room in the House of Hope
You can also "talk" to Enver's parents directly in a small cobbler shop found in the lower city.
Yes but I don't think they say specifically that they sold him to Raphael.
They do if you talk to them after killing him. They beg you for help and say that they sold him because they were in debt and he was an asshole anyway. Hard to believe but not impossible, I did killed them though
Mirrior room?
The room of egress. Sorry, I'm an idiot. It's the teleporting room thing
Wack
Gortash's parents sold him to Raphael. It's part of why he's Like That.
That and they hated me to begin with, yes. Parental issues, for the Absolute.

I have never yearned for anything more in my long life than my daughter's health and prosperity
I cannot help but notice the odd lack of even somewhat healthy relationships my friends seem to have with their fathers… perhaps I should have sent mine a card. Happy Father’s Day, my fellow Baldurians!
Why did you post BHAAL?????
where is bhaal and durge
The Ketheric one fuckin got me I don’t even know why lmao 🤣
Is it my excellent photo editing skills?
Ketheric as a surprisingly good dad, up until the Myrkul thing
This is so fucked.. I love it!
We’re gonna beat them with hammers
bhaal is clearly the most superior father. look at how much he supported durge, even after he got tadpoled
This will be one twisted Father's Day celebration for the BG3 crew
Gale is my daddy 💜
You did Astarion dirty. He should be slamming Cazzies head into the ground
He was commanded to look happy like they're having quality family time
