i think about merle's and the wizard's relationship often. merle himself is probably traumatized from all that he had gone through, we all forget bro is old as hell. possibly centuries old. all jokes aside, i'm sure he does feel regret for putting the wizard through so much. maybe he did so because he himself didn't have it in him to fight anymore.

do you just ever wonder how he was feeling when the wizard was declared enemy of the spiral? marleybone and polaris are members of the council of light. imagine the great turmoil that this caused in there. the CoL would be obligated to help them hunt the wizard given that they're allies, but they're all conflicted. confused. the wizard had only done good, right? why are they an enemy now?

merle hasn't personally heard from the wizard in years, he's just piecing things together based off the stuff he hears about. he doesn't know their relationship with dasein. all he knew was that he was the embodiment of nothing. he's heard that there's two brand new worlds that spawned out of nowhere. he's worried, but the wizard had outgrown him long ago. there's nothing he can do now, even if he wanted to. a part of him feels like he failed them.

i genuinely feel like that out of ALL the ravenwood professors, regardless of school, the yw becomes closest to cyrus. the entire malistaire/dragonspyre and azteca ordeals, it all caused the two to share a mutual understanding and develop some sort of a connection. perhaps something more of a father-child connection than what the wizard had with ambrose. (or older sibling/younger sibling, whatever ur interpretation is)

cyrus stopped seeing the wizard as some random child, and the wizard began to understand why cyrus is the way he is. anyone in his shoes would have turned out the same way. cyrus' silly attempt at trying to get the wizard expelled at the beginning? it only makes them laugh now.

whether or not the yw is a myth wizard, he was proud to see them graduate regardless. but he also felt a deep and profound sadness because of all they've gone through.

might sound very silly but i personally headcanon dasein to be of the sun school solely because two of his iterations in sybil's memory were sun

unless there's something in-game that confirms otherwise, i had always imagined that suzie, artur, nolan, ceren, duncan, the other students we saw in cyclops lane, and the wizard are all in one class and attend classes together save for their respective magic classes. there was lizzo in firecat alley but it was explicitly stated that she was a third-year so they couldn't have been in one class.

i've always wondered WHY it was only suzie and ceren from all the other ravenwood students we've seen that actually attended the wizard's graduation ceremony? mr. lincoln said that a graduation ceremony at ravenwood doesn't happen often and that he "can't recall the last time it happened" but wtf happens to all the wizards studying there then. do they just... stay at ravenwood forever lol. or did i miss something

it was also stated that the wizard's graduation is "long overdue" so my headcanon that's going to stray from canon a bit, is that basically yw's class graduated way before the yw themselves did (duncan is a bit iffy cause i forgot when exactly he defected to the schism) while yw was away in khrysalis doing spiral-savin' stuff, and ceren and suzie just stayed behind helping at ravenwood. that's how i can make it make sense to me idk!
