Still in awe that Shadowgast actually happened and that we got to watch it unfold. From the honeypot to Caleb sweeping Essek into his hug with Veth during their brainstorming session, to the forehead kiss on the boat, to Eiselcross again and again and again... these two absolutely closed individuals for whom genuine care and affection were only ever drawn out of them by the most sunshine-y people on earth (Jester Lavorre) who manage to make a space for love that's all their own, drawn even from a well they thought was empty??? Whaaaaat the hell man. I'm going to cry.

My hot take of the day: people that make headcanons about Caleb being schlubby/stinky/messy mid-post campaign weren’t paying attention to his character. When he’s not horrifically depressed/actively trying to hide his identity he’s shown to pay a lot of attention to detail when it comes to aesthetics whether it’s his or other people’s. He’s actually very organized and fastidious and clearly has a taste for the finer things when he finally gets the funds/mental capacity to be so

One day I will stop having a nervous breakdown long enough to coherently write down why I think Essek definitely smoked thru wizard grad school and still sometimes does. Im certain this is a vision that has been seen by others it has to be
