💔 If Tav Refused Gale's Proposal...

An alternative outcome that gives a little more insight as to what Gale (& Tara) has been up to these past six months.

[@SpaceAusten]

*thank you for making the hard choices so we don't have to* Also Tara sees Gale as her kitten, confirmed.

[@Kimbersism]

A pleasure to serve you fine folk 💜

[@Martha-Novalin-]

I'm surprised Tara wants grandchildren. She is the perfect size to get terrorized by them. But still very cute. :D

[@madamefluffy4788]

@@Martha-Novalin- Some cats make the best companions for small children. (so many videos out there with cats snuggling up with babies or just letting small children hug them - it's incredibly precious).

My girl is in love with my two year old son. I was so nervous when I was pregnant, she had always been a very independent girl who occasionally “allows” me to love on her lol but with my son it’s like he’s her chosen one. He’s so gentle with her, and she’s obsessed with him. He loves taking care of her and every morning he feeds her as his “chore” and she waits for him and plays with him in our yard. They are best friends and i feel so blessed 🥹 I can’t tell if she thinks he’s her baby or her owner, she even lets him pick her up becsue she trusts him that much (i discourage it bc you never know but I always catch them outside with him holding her and petting her and im shocked with how she’s just content. Cats for the win lol!!!

[@Kimbersism]

@@Destinyisforlosers24 Aww, thank you for sharing! 💜🥰that is so sweet, I love it. I have a little boy in kindergarten with special needs and our cat is great with him. I even catch him sleeping in his bed with him a lot of nights.

[@Oak568]

Why is Gale so adorable? I just wish there was an option to rekindle the romance in the epilogue, that would be lovely.

[@Powered1Buttercup]

Fuck it! In my head one of my tavs breaks up with him because she’s not sure about relationships in general but does rekindles it in the epilogue, like she figured everything eventually 🥺

[@carpediem5882]

Bro, I'd like to START romances in the epilogue, lol😂, after having known them as friends and at a point where we are all in an healthier place.

[@ladyknightsong4811]

When Tav goes to talk to his students and stay in his tower, I like to think they rekindle their love and Tav decides to marry him 🥹

[@Kimbersism]

YES! Totally could happen still.

[@eji]

So cute... it feels like they could still rekindle their feelings after this...

[@Kimbersism]

Absolutely, they could go home together after the party and pick right up where they left off.

[@elenalizabeth]

I just love Tara’s sass 😂😂😂

[@Ace_Maus]

Now I want to write of fanfic of Tav and Gale falling in love again after meeting here. Now that Gale has made a life for himself on his own terms, healed a bit, they can make something more solid and stable. x3

[@Kimbersism]

You totally should!!! I've been writing fanfic of my own...

[@jackieb.1863]

Beastie imma need a link when u finish it causeee that sounds amazing!!!

[@Kimbersism]

@Ace_Maus was writing some fanfic and was wondering if you ever did, too? 😏

[@meeshee37]

@@Kimbersismare you thinking of sharing what you’ve written at any point?? I really appreciate accounts that truly love Gale like yours, I think you’d do him justice 😊

[@Kimbersism]

@meeshee37 yeah, actually was talking to others about sharing it soon. I have to get it ready to show tho, its very rough. Where do you like to read fanfic at?

[@glevissigs]

Sad that there is no option to ask to get back together ❤ and Tara really is adorable! Haha, the "where are my grandkids, Gale?" vibe is too real :p

[@Kimbersism]

I want them to add that option in so bad... and I wanna give Tara those grandkids!

[@jazztastic2521]

Can we just appreciate that you can pspspspspsps Tara?

[@DarkWingsAscending]

How could you do this to Gale???!!! Dang, that hurt, but interesting to see. Thanks for making the hard choices so the rest of us don't have to!

[@Kimbersism]

You're very welcome. This was hard for me to do! I seriously put it off for two days, but I needed to know what would happen.

[@AnonymousFREEZEpOp1]

Astarion stan but damn his proposal was so cute and the rejection handled like a true gentleman. Maybe i will have to give Gale a chance

[@katieli2894]

This man is too perfect 😭

[@elenalizabeth]

Omg I totally knew mumma Dekarios wanted grandkids 😂 it’s why she didn’t like him with Mystra (because she couldn’t get grandkids from Mystra), and why she wouldn’t mind you as an Illithid or other “non-compatible species” (Dragonborn etc) because you and Gale could still adopt her some grandkids then 😂

[@KitsuneHB]

So... Astarion can hope, Mrs Dekarios will accept him? :D I play as Astarion atm and romance Gale. But I'm not sure if he would be a good dad ... I doubt it, to be honest. :D

[@chartreusemaiden604]

😂😂😂 I think it was more like Sheldon's mom from the BBT. Her kid was a prodigy but also just too much of a weirdo. He finally gets his first girl mom is excited but it's a goddess and she's like 🙄. So him getting a REAL person to that WANTS to date her son. She's probably like "I have got to see this." She'd be asking us. "Are you sure?" 😂😂😂

[@elenalizabeth]

@@KitsuneHB nah Astarion loves when you help out kids (and cats) so I think once he deals with his trauma, then he would be a good parent

[@CyanidePusher]

Screaming crying and throwing up, I hate you for this but also thank you so much for uploading that which the rest of us will never choose 😗💕

[@Kimbersism]

You're welcome? lol I get it... I had to pump myself up for 2 days, and I wasn't sober when I did it, I'll confess.

[@aranyaphoenix]

My jaw dropped. This is the first time I see Gale get turned down without throwing a passive-aggressive tantrum for it. THE CHARACTER GROWTH! MY GODS!

[@pativi6643]

Thinking back, he was passive agressive only if you break up with him for someone else. But then a lot of companions do have passive aggresive remarks in this regard, even Karlach. When you were partnered with him in Act 3 and break up he excuses himself and tries to hide crying :') He does seem in a better place mentaly by the end.

[@StClaire25]

I unwittingly walked into his act 2 romance scene and rejected him. He was much more mature about it than I was. I felt like a monster

[@SC-qy5fe]

​@@pativi6643 I'd be passive aggressive if I was broken up with for someone else too. Hell, my fiance broke up with me two weeks ago and asked to just be friends. Trying to smother the passive aggressive tendencies is really hard when you're the one who was broken up with.

[@luvondarox]

Man. This makes me wish there's a way to rekindle things at the party.

[@mintkit1064]

Omg I love Tara so much. 😂😂 she always has me in stitches

[@XRemARx]

why is gale so wholesome lmao

[@Tyrrlin]

Thank you for making the hard choice so we don't have to! Gale is so precious I just wanna hug him forever.

[@Kimbersism]

You're so welcome, this wasn't easy for me! lol, I put off making this video for two days because I knew it would be rough.

[@thagooeyjuice]

This made my heart hurt omggg..

[@Kimbersism]

mine too, I'm sorry. I had to know what would happen tho!

[@waterdeepwhiskey]

Thank you for making the hard decisions so we don't have to, except for one outcome where I romanced him as Durge, lost to Orin and did the 'Romeo and Juliet' conclusion. I then reloaded the Orin fight, won and said no we're not blowing up Gale option.

[@Kimbersism]

You're welcome! Romancing Gale as a Durge is fun, really didn't think he would go for it.

[@pipwolverine]

I could never.

[@Kimbersism]

It was only theoretically breaking up with him, I immediately reloaded and made it all better when I was done. My fingers were crossed the whole time! lol I'm a monster.

[@pipwolverine]

@@Kimbersism Alright, I forgive you

[@rurukitty405]

Even though I'm a devout Astarion simp, I would hug that man regardless. He's my bestie after all 💖

[@queenofdaggerstarot3060]

How did you do this without crying

[@Kimbersism]

Who said I did this without crying? lol, I totally did, and my palms were sweaty the entire time... like I was breaking up with a real person.

[@Trymie98]

Do you know how hard it was for me to watch this? My curiosity was killing me to know what happens, but… UGH!!!😫 I literally peeked through my fingers to watch it because my heart was hurting so much! Now THAT is a sign of an amazing game!

[@amarantelock4598]

I felt the pain when you waited to long to click the break up lol, but thx for doing what i can't.

[@Kimbersism]

It took me a few days to force myself to record this one. I just had to know what would happen once I saw the option.

[@kmcd477]

I just replayed my first two play through to see the new ending conversations with him and in the one where I didn’t romance Gale and he didn’t ascend all he says is “Marvelous party isn’t it?” Where was this dialogue? Why can’t friend Gale go and become the best professor in the land?

[@Windfoxm]

That's unfortunate that you didn't get this conversation. I had a friend Gale and it triggered for me. I wonder what conditions have to be met to trigger it.

[@w3bcor3]

maybe his approval of your tav was a little too low?

[@Kimbersism]

Hope you got it figured out. When I replayed mine, everyone was treating me as though I had turned into a mindflayer even though I wasn't so i started my campaign all over again.

[@guitarmama06]

And I thought it was painful to "imagine his head on a pike" just to see what would happen the next morning (I quickly reloaded _that_ save). But this... Although, it *was* quite funny listening to him talk about his pupils. And the _psst. Shoo, Tara_ was too funny.

[@CandyKoRn]

Tara is so adorable!!!!

[@Livin-86]

Ugh he is so cute ❤

[@saal0]

Tara is amazing though holy shit

[@cannyvalley8522]

That painful smile he gives us when she hugs him... What if you hug him at 2:20 I wonder, maybe it will give you a chance to say you made a mistake?

[@Kimbersism]

I wanted to do that so bad, but I don't think it's an option. I hope @Larian can add it in later, though!

[@ckurova]

Now I need to know if Astarion has a dialogue like this if you break up with him at the end!

[@Kimbersism]

Ooh, that's valuable knowledge!

[@hopemccue]

I wonder what game says when you pick the option to confess that’s it’s been to quiet since him and tav broke up at 5:21

[@Kimbersism]

I confess I too am curious, I may have to go find out... 🙄

[@gothicangelamy1992]

Omg what fit and dye is he in when you reject him lol he looks incredible ❤️

[@Kimbersism]

It's the Magnificently Realised Ensemble, dyed probably indigo. It's my go-to Gale dye of choice.

thank you so much!@@Kimbersism

Is gale… still in love with you?

[@Kimbersism]

Possibly? I like to think so, and that maybe there is still a chance for them.

@@pativi6643 you didn't get that part? Elminster hooked up with Mystria after she dumped Gale. Minsc's reaction is funny. Sad situation for Gale though.

@@chartreusemaiden604 Oh. It's the other way around. Elmister is over 1200 years old. Mystra (back then she was the second reincarnation of the Goddess of Magic, the current one is the third one - mortal Midnight who ascended only about 130 years ago and took the name Mystra to avoid confusion; the first Goddess of Magic was Mystryl) was his first lover. Elminster also was a lover with one of the daughters of Mystra if I recall correctly, lol. That guy is something else. Anyways, Mystra took a lot of her chosen as lovers. Gale wasn't her first, nor last probably.
