That was unexpectedly hilarious in a very BG3 way.
The mock-academic voice works really well, especially because it keeps escalating from “dry legal-philosophical essay” into something completely unhinged while still sounding serious. The ending lands because of that contrast.
A few things I liked:
- the faux scholarly structure feels believable for a Faerûn-flavored satire
- the moral/legal framework makes the joke last longer than a one-note meme
- the final reveal reframes the whole piece nicely
So glad to receive your reply! Thanks for the compliment.
I wrote this because I was genuinely contemplating how to perceive the coupling between a druid and a chimera. Then, I saw that look of sheer hurt on Gale’s face when he’s asked—at Halsin’s invitation—if he’d be open to a threesome. I thought, why not speak in Gale’s voice? Even though this is absolutely the fault of Tav/The Dark Urge, he’s just a desperate wizard blinded by love and panic. So, lol, it ended up being written this way.
