Some Khadgar things

That are canon but are often forgotten when people talk about how strong and heroic he is. Or paint him like he’s super serious like most of the others.

 He sleeps on tables when working late. 

He used to spy on Council of 6 meetings when he was a KID back when who was on the council was top secret.

Gets frustrated, angry even, when people don’t admit their feelings for each other.

Knows how to properly cast spells while being intoxicated.

Pees himself when he laughs too much.

Is actually pretty ticklish.

Spent years learning things from A’dal and still doesn’t know what his pocket warmer is really for. 

Calls Orcs “strapping” while most every other human describes them as brutish or ugly. Guys listen he called Ariok attractive, Khadgar is Orc trash.

Berates himself and calls himself stupid over and over in his head if he makes a mistake.

Loves Mana strudels. And Wine. Did I mention he knows how to cast spells while intoxicated?

When things don’t go according to plan he goes “FUCK IT” and improvises and does some actually pretty reckless shit impulsively.

He’s reckless with his life because he feels like it’s worthless.

Spends his time trying to encourage others to be heroic leaders and doesn’t see himself as one.

Asks for help even when he doesn’t need it because he’s convinced he’ll just mess up.

Except when he feels like he’s being a burden then he’ll bite off more than he can chew because he feels responsible for how bad things are and ends up failing because he didn’t ask for help.

Knows what it feels like to not have someone around when help is needed and constantly is working on spells to make him available to everybody at a moment’s notice.

He collects artifacts and knowledge and items to study because he loves learning shit but is messy and berates himself for being a “packrat”, guys hoarding isn’t just a bird trait it’s also a sign of depression.

Everybody else gets to act and do dramatic things in revenge or grief while yelling that Khadgar can’t possibly know anything about how THEY feel or how it feels to be betrayed and Khadgar just goes silent and takes it because after years of getting this crap from almost everybody ever since he was a kid he’s just accepted that his feelings, his life doesn’t matter to anyone else so why the hell should it matter to HIM so yeah, he’s going to blow up a damn and barely escape drowning and not eat properly and let things get messy because who cares, right?  He’s Khadgar. Mr. Cool as a Cucumber and life of the party.  He’s fine. He’s always fine.  

There’s nothing.

Wrong.

At all.

Mana strudel?

i like how most characters in WoW leave the current story because they end up dying or getting imprisoned or going off on a different mission or something but Khadgar just sort of got sick of shit and left

in case you were wondering what khadgar’s been up to in bfa

[archmage-khadgar]

Him killing you would not cause a paradox in his timeline. I don't know what would happen if one of us died at this point in time. I think we're safe to die without destroying any timelines now? But I have no garuntees.

So. It won't cause a paradox in his timeline, and I think that it is unlikely that it would cause a paradox in your timeline. However, there are lingering effects from that that might cause a paradox.

Like your Medivh raining vengeance upon the head of his alternate self. That would almost certainly be a paradox. However, he might also decided to kill that timeline's Khadgar later, having already been able to kill you. Which would be another paradox.

Are you afraid of paradoxes?

Hmmm. That depends on two factors.

1. Is it a paradox that will break things like the timeline?

2. Am I or someone I care about stuck in the paradox?

If it won't break anything, paradoxes are fascinating to study and entertaining to watch! If it will break something it needs to be stopped and, if possible, avoided at all costs.

If I am stuck in a paradox I can usually get myself out. If someone else is stuck, however, I usually need to get them out. Even if it's a harmless paradox, it's still usually pretty difficult to get yourself out of, and I or other people tend to need that person.

So... hmm. It's not really that I'm afraid of paradoxes as it is that I am a little wary and have a healthy respect for them.

[archmage-khadgar]

Huh. Well let's see.

From Azeroth, to the alternate Dreanor, to the Azeroth connected with that alternate Dreanor? A Khadgar speaking with a Medivh one Azeroth over? Hmm. It has been proven that a Medivh from the point in time the alternate Dreanor happens does know about us being his future apprentice, so him meeting a different Khadgar and being aware of them being Khadgar should not necessarily cause a paradox.

Now, discussing the future of that Alternate Medivh and what you have done with your Medivh might cause a paradox, depending on what you talk about, so I would be careful of that.

Technically speaking, if you were killed in that meeting, it would not be a paradox. It might cause a paradox from your Medivh swooping in for revenge, but in itself it would not be a paradox. You killing the Alternate Medivh at that point in time would be a paradox, and most likely break some very big things in that timeline.

Petition for Plague Deviser Marileth, Khadgar, and Oculeth to meet tf up and have a Scientific Discussion.

[archmage-khadgar]

Not a single table was free!

Khadgar: I just tried making a reservation at the library.

Jaina: You don’t need a reservation at the-

Khadgar: But I couldn’t get one.

Jaina: Please stop talking.

Khadgar: It was fully…

Jaina, softly: Don’t.

Khadgar: Booked!

“I still wake up in a cold sweat at night from nightmares where I am surrounded by hooded faces. A veritable choir of forms swaddled in blue, chanting over and over, ‘Alexis, apexis, apexis, 4986 crystals for Khadgar.”

[archmage-khadgar]

I will admit, 4 of those are grandchildren, and at least one is more of an apprentice. But I still consider them mine!

(I’m alive. I swear.)

[archmage-khadgar]

Oh, 15 is probably a rather low estimate for the maximum number of children. I at most have....oh.... about 5-7, but I'm sure there's one of us out there with far more than that!
