accidental foreshadowing: the hits
Magnus, in Refuge: Listen, either they die or we forget about them, so, either way. ..
***
Griffin: It’s like an airlock in a spaceship
Travis: Which of course we’ve been in before.
Griffin, very nervously: ….no? probably- probably not…
Clint: Maybe in the backstory!
***
Magnus, indignant for all the wrong reasons: Hey, we don’t know shit about history! We don’t even remember where we are right now!
***
Taako in Rockport Limited: It’s BARRY. How quickly you forget, huh?“
***
Travis after the first inoculation, in Moonlighting: Did we remember anything about the umbrella we found in the dungeon or any of that?
Griffin: No.
Travis: Huh.
***
Magnus: “I go and stand where he (the drifting mysterious incorporeal red spectre) is, and I jump around like ‘hey guys look I’m in a red robe!”
***
Travis: hey, are the voidfish’s powers like…selective?
***
Griffin, dodging like crazy: I mean, I imagine Barry’s voice sounds pretty different when he’s engulfed in flames.
***
Griffin in The Eleventh Hour: I imagine it’d be very disorienting, dying like that and then not dying.
Taako, nonchalant: Just another day at the office, baby.
***
BONUS from Rockport Limited; i just know this one was a two-year-long brick joke thanks griff
Jenkins: Remember, don’t leave anything behind, and you can’t take anything.
Magnus: Well, except memories.
Jenkins: The memories will be obliterated…no, no, no. I’m kidding. Nothing could destroy memories.
i relistened to the adventure zone: balance just to feel something
John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats: hello McElroy brothers, merry christmas
Griffin McElroy: you too, John Darnielle!
John Darnielle: griffin, here are some chocolates. travis, for you I have this new microphone.
Travis McElroy: thanks John! what thoughtful gifts.
Justin McElroy: do I get anything John Darnielle?
John Darnielle:
HEY I’M LOSING MY GOSHDANGED MIND
Op you forgot the funniest reply

So uhm
I think Justin’s Firbolg may be a changeling??
So-
a quick disclaimer that I am running off Balance brains. Which is to say I was in the fandom as the theory about “Lup” being Taako’s secret twin sister because it could be short for “chalupa” was going around. And that was literally all the evidence we had at that time. And then it turned out to be TRUE, so my predictions may be a bit zealous.
But my thoughts also come from the fact that Justin the McElroy is incredibly intelligent. Taako and Duck were very deep, complicatedly wonderful characters that snuck their way into our hearts from jokes and bullshittery. He gave them serious thought, and while I’d be perfectly fine to take Bud at face value as this gentle giant is lovely, I can’t help but assume more.
Changelings are an interesting thing in dnd. As the name implies, they are shapeshifters. However they make themselves distinct from doublegangers and other shapeshifting monstrosities by sticking to a singular identity. Sure, if something goes wrong they’ll skip town and take on a new one, or if they have managed to make a career out of their born talents, though even then their casual life will often consist of the one form. More so, whith their shifting nature, they tend to see themselves from the third person. They tend to make what people expect them to make and will try to figure out the wants and needs of those around them to create the most pleasurable thing for their environment.
Now Justin is playing the most firbolgy firbolg that could have ever firbolgged. A quiet, nameless, tame but threatening druid. And while a firbolgy firbolg is adorable, the fact that Justin seems to have gone out of his way to make the most commonplace giantiod in this very uncommonplace game makes me suspect. Further more, this game is being ran by Travis McElroy who is a slut for a good story and even more so for a good twist!
I know so far I’ve only spouted speculation. So how about I talk about what originally gave me the idea-
Justin cast a spell to speak with the little animal.
“Speak with Animals” is a useful spell but one totally unused by firbolgs. Because Firbolgs can already speak to animals. Animals and plants specifically.
Now he could have just forgotten. Oldest brother who knows how expansive their silly Dungeons and Dragons podcast has gotten and how eager people will be for Graduation. Bean Boy professional entertainer who delights in pulling the rug under his brothers to surprise and delight the audience with his podcasts within a podcast. Hell Travis probably forgot too. Travis who is absolutely IN LOVE with Dungeons and Dragons and has made himself an active part of the community after Magnus. But you know who definitely would not have forgotten?
The fans. The Dungeoneirs who were either already big fans of the game or were encouraged to try it after Balance. Fans who are not afraid to talk to the brothers, and brothers who are not afraid to take advice from them. To laugh and joke at their mistakes and comment about them. But it was never brought up.
Bud also just uses curios language when he speaks of himself. He talks about himself like he is himself a character. Explaining what he, the firbolg, does and does not do instead of simply explaining that he is or isn’t interested in doing something. How do I explain this-
In the third episode he keeps saying that firbolgs do not lie. He doesn’t just say it like “hey this is a cultural thing I’m not prepared to break”. He says it like suggesting that he, as a firbolg, could lie would be absolutely absurd. Like they are stupid to think that he could, as a firbolg. He’s not appalled by the act of lying. But as he is totally absolutely don’t even worry about it a firbolg, HE cannot lie.
I’m sure he was raised among them. I imagine either his father had sex with a changing (as in earlier additions they were fey, the Firbolgs are fey touched and it is generally accepted cannon among DMs that a changeling and whatever else will produce another changeling with a 50% chance) or was found as a baby. Misshaped, pale and unwanted, raised by a nomad clan of life loving druids. I imagine his want to leave the clan and come to a school for sidekicks is linked to his true race. Changelings do make good minions and perhaps he was told he would learn more about himself here or have himself put to good use.
I’m not sure if it’s true or not it was just a thought I had and now I can’t shake it. But hey look- if Angus is a silver dragon then I can have my “abandoned at birth and crafted himself around those that actually loved him and gave a shit and learned to love the world around him too and got magic from it” baby Bud!
I guess we’ll see what the McElroys have in store for us!
“Barry’s name was originally Sildar Hallwinter” taken very literally. Walk with me.
Sildar Jean Hallwinter. A stuffy name that belonged to great grandpa. “Jean” said all fancylike as in “Jean Valjean”.
Heck it. That’s a mouthful. Parents called him “Darry”. Darry Jean Hallwinter.
Misspelled as “Barry” on his introductory IPRE nametag. It stuck as a joke, then became the only thing people knew him by. Barry Jean Whatshisface.
Haha “Bluejean”. Cause he wears Bluejeans all the time. It’s hilarious.
Barry J. Bluejeans.
#i’m fucking yelling good god #he just starts introducing himself as barry bluejeans by the time he gets to ipre #then at he and lup’s wedding #‘do you take sildar hallwinter to be-’ #‘do i take fucking WHOM’
I’m dying
you in his DMs. i’m erasing his memories so that he and the rest of my family can be happy and safe while i try to fix what we did. we are not the same. oh god, magnus, no. magnus, i’m so sorry. it’ll all be okay, just lie down, i don’t want you to get hurt. magnus, i love you so much, i love you all so much-
I haven’t drawn anything for taz in Years but I’m in love with these new characters so I had to try my hand
quick drawing of [NO NAME FOUND] from taz graduation!
✨ kofi link in bio if you’re feeling generous ✨
yeah you got me
hey yall so i was doing some looking around on the internets and its turns out
that the surname newton means ‘new town’
which is interesting bc that means you could translate ducks name to
“duck new town”
but that doesnt really make grammatical sense so really you could say
“new duck town”
which sounds better but isnt quite there yet so hmmm what suffix that means town could we use to make this all come together oh i know!
maybe, perhaps....
“new duckberg”
