it’s sooo important that we remember how much of a dork caleb widogast is. ignore his cha stat he just uses that to threaten people im talking abt the man himself. dude finds a bag of jewels and does a little dance. he gets good news and says ‘that’s a bingo’ out loud in front of other ppl. how many times did someone be vaguely nice to him and he responded by turning “beet red”. his go to response to someone in distress is to hand them his cat, and even then he sits a little bit away and watches to make sure they’re being gentle w him. man is living proof that you can take a wizard and torture him until he becomes a brainwashed murder machine but you can’t make him not a fucking dweeb <3
the visceral gut drop of "—and in his place is a gently floating male drow—" vs the absolute giddy high of "—who is no longer Seth. Instead you see, a dark elf—" like, Essek Thelyss really is narratively That Bitch and he sure knows how to make a fucking entrance
just watched as Beau figured the whole Vess\Tomb takers\Molly\Lucien shit which was very sexy of her and i love her so much she is incredible and smart wow women
honestly, probably an unpopular opinion but i want more stories about ambition and intelligence that isn’t portrayed as evil. also I’m not raised religious and i don’t understand the big deal re: gods
all critrole roads lead to smut shop. except if u are yussa. if u are yussa all roads lead to whatever current existential threat that would LOVE to ensnare and devour a curious lil wizard. all the other ones lead to smut shops tho.
