Ever since episode four of GIGGS dnd I’ve been chewing on this idea, and I want to share, so here you go! Spoilers for GIGGS DND up to episode four
So as everyone knows, Mr. Wizard is Scars character, and it’s definitely not his real name. Every time he meets a new npc they call him a new name, and he’s clearly changed it multiple times. Mr Wizard is a very silly character, and he seems to take thing in stride and explain things as he goes. And when he meets the fae king during episode four, he just… folds. When the Fae King asked Mr. Wizard what his name was, giving two aliases, he speaks in the smallest squeakiest voice we’ve heard yet. He almost responds like a trauma vitctim, and while I would be able to forget about that, somthing he said to max really stuck out to me.
Max asked why it mattered if the fae king knew his name, and after a pause, Mr. Wizard responds in the same quiet voice, “there’s a reason names aren’t given freely max. In time you’ll learn that.”
I believe Mr. Wizard had his real name taken by a Fae, and because of that control, the fae made him do something terrible to his family. Scar alludes at the end of the episode that he wants to dig into the fact that Mr. Wizard keeps mentioning family, but doesn’t seem to have any. And I think he never told anyone his real name again because of this fear.
and that brings me to max. Max keeps cycling through names, trying to ‘guess’ Mr. Wizards real name.
And I’ve been thinking about the two of them, alone, and in passing max refers to him by one of those random names. But this time its not random. It’s Mr. Wizards name, his real name, and the last person to ever say it was that fae.
And Mr. Wizard is shocked, upset, and most of all scared.
”you got it.” He would whisper, staring at Max.
Max promised not to tell, and although he keeps cycling through names, he makes sure to use the real one, every once and a while.
God I'm in too deep, please, someone help. The reason i typed all this out is because i do not have time to draw it lol
