Gale Dekarios quotes Shakespeare in battle.

#WIZARD CITE YOUR SOURCES WHERE DID YOU READ SHAKESPEARE #HOW IS IT DIFFERENT IN YOUR WORLD FROM OURS PLEAAASE #'what fools these mortals be' is DIRECTLY from a midsummer night's dream #and he references if not directly quotes the tempest #titania and oberon exist in faerun yes but greece and the greek pantheon does NOT #WIZARD EXPLAIN #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #gale of waterdeep #gale dekarios

I don't remember if I ever made a post about this, but for a long time I thought Griffin made up the whole clone pod thing to give Barry an excuse to get his body back again and then eventually also Magnus, and that that was a cool little world building thing. But I found out a while go that no, apparently it's a real spell called Clone from the Player's Handbook. 8th level necromancy wizard spell.

Also, it takes specifically 120 days for a body to form completely, which means that technically, Barry could have popped into his body again since before Petals lol

In the spell description, it also says that you can make the body younger, and I love the fact that he had that option but chose to keep himself the same age anyway

Also, since Magnus first gave Garfield his blood during the interlude before Crystal Kingdom, technically his body would have been ready since around the Eleventh Hour, and Garfield decided to just hold on to it for another few months without doing anything with it lmao

OH SHIT WAIT-

GRIFFIN THOUGHT MAGNUS WAS GOING TO TAKE THE CHALICE AND THAT HE WAS GOING TO DIE DURING THE MISSION TO GET IT BACK FROM HIM

HE SPECIFICALLY MADE IT SO THAT IF HE DID DIE, MAGNUS' BODY WOULD HAVE BEEN READY TO GO THEN TOO

Man I love how that whole arc played out in canon, but I so wish we had gotten to know what would have happened if Magnus did take the Chalice and how that would have played out

#With Magnus' body being ready by TEH though; that also means Garfield requesting his sideburns was him just being a dick lmfao #I also love how it's been about 2 years since I've started listening to this show and have relistened to Balance countless times #and even now I can still find new things to think about it and also read other people's thoughts that I've never considered before #oh; also; I just realized that I didn't clarify how I knew specifically when shit would have happened; but I don't think it's that #important to add to the post #if someone asks; I'll reblog with the answer or maybe just make a whole new post about it; but essentially I figured out the rough timeline #of when all of the arcs happened canonically based on the offhand comments Griffin made about how long it's been between arcs #which; figuring out when Petals happened was a fucking nightmare because he didn't specify how long it had been since Rockport or Midsummer #and I kept missing how long he said it was between Crystal Kingdom and Petals; but I eventually did catch that and figured it out #and gang; it is a *long* stretch of time between Rockport and Petals lol #taz #taz balance #barry bluejeans #magnus burnsides

2023 reads / storygraph

Everyone’s Thinking It

YA contemporary that follows two estranged Nigerian cousins at an elite UK boarding school

one is an aspiring photographer who gets her polaroids stolen and distributed around school exposing students’ secrets - and is blamed for it

the other is in with the popular girls, and tries to ignore the personal sacrifices she’s making to fit in - namely her 'friend' whose makeup is a little too close to Blackfishing

both try to investigate who is behind it so they can get their life back on track, but they’ll have to work together to solve it

bi MC / love interests,

#Everyone’s Thinking It #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #I enjoyed this a lot!#I liked the audiobook and how it had accent code switching #I don't have too much to say about it I guess #also it's a midsummer night's dream retelling i found that out half way through haha #bisexual books #(both m/f)

Egeus: Lysander has used ARTS AND ALLUREMENTS against my child!

Audience: Okay, how did he seduce her?

Egeus: He gave her poetry, sang outside her window, gifted her jewelry, sent her flowers, sent delicious snacks, and thereby STOLE her heart.

Audience:

(I borrowed "arts and allurements" from Lady Catherine in Pride & Prejudice, the actual quote is "hath bewitched the bosom of my child")

#HOW SINISTER!#He seduced her by being awesome #arts and allurements #lysander #hermia #a midsummer night's dream #egeus #shakespeare #lady catherine de bourgh #summer reading interlude

🍃 A Midsummer Night’s Faery Tale by Wendy Froud and Terri Windling

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Sneezle is a young tree-root faery who has had the misfortune of falling asleep every year and not witnessing the Midsummer Night’s Faery Celebration. This year he’s determined to stay up and stay useful no matter what.

This was such a charming story with charming pictures of Wendy Froud’s creations. I loved how the sets were built and how much care and skill went into each doll. You’ll fall in love with Sneezle and Twig and Titania and each faery you meet, but watch out for the ones who lurk in the shadows.
