A while ago, one of my friends mentioned that sorcerers are his least favorite magic class in D&D, because there’s no story/personality in how they acquire their powers. Not like a warlock actively making a pact, a wizard actively studying, a cleric actively following their god, etc etc. There’s no agency for the character, and he thinks they’re boring.
I disagree. I love sorcerers! Their magic is inherited/natural, yes, but that’s exactly what makes them interesting. Because how do you use the arcane power you’re born with? How do you feel about it? Do you appreciate it? Do you take it for granted? Do you consider yourself superior because of it? Do you make it part of your core identity? Do you try to run from it, wishing that it didn’t exist? Do you feel the burden of horrors in your past you’ve inherited without your consent? Do you feel trapped by the promise of your blood to live up to your ancestors? Do you work hard to embrace it? Do you hate yourself for what you have no control over?
There’s a lot of shit in life we can’t control. Things we’re born with. Blessings, curses. Sorcerers are interesting to me because they can be stories about identity — who they are, who they are not, and who they want to be.

Can we just talk about how Merlin writes Arthur a whole ass speech out of his own free will without any indication Arthur wanted him to do so. It's almost like he wants to lessen Arthur's stresses and worries. Almost like he cares. Certainly not a man inlove. No sir. No man in love would write a speech for the friend just because they thought they'd be nice. No absolutely not.
(Idiots in love)

Out-of-context quotes from a Daernika session!! We finally finished the one-shot that we started uh…… over three years ago. aaaaaaaaaaaaa
—————————
“Oh, did I mention? I should probably mention. In the green resin walls, you see hundreds of corpses.”
“I made two Voxes by accident.” “I wouldn’t turn that down.”
“Oh thank god, I’m not going first. …Wait oh no, I’m not going first.”
“I don’t do much damage and then I attack using my friends.”
“He forms into a mouth that tries to latch on to Vox.” “I’d like to request that he ceases this activity.”
“I’m the only non-divine entity in this pit, and as such –”
“It’s protected in the cube, but it’s on my increasingly-bloodied person.”
“As a minor action he’s gonna use Soul Corruption. Don’t worry about the name, I’m sure it’s fine.”
“I have chromatic robe star weaver armor, which is the most extra name possible.”
“Ah so it’s Mephistopheles’s turn, in Vox’s body.”
“Does he still have the crown?” “Yes, on the head we will be referring to as ‘Head 1.’”
“My second sword is a bit worse, but more importantly I would have had to do all my math manually, which is the real tragedy.”
“Should I break out the classic creepy tendrils power?” “Fight fire with fire, fight worm with worm.”
“Aidina is floating in the air surrounded by red fire.” “Big yikes.”
“Vox is Boromir, Aidina is Frodo, Nakoma is Sam, Mephistopheles is Gollum.”
“All the dogs come out, and so does a giant fly, but you’re used to it by now.”
