1. the githyanki's pact for the red dragons is with tiamat, who lives in avernus and was formerly its archduchess

2. hanging on to the astral prism containing orpheus would have been the ultimate insurance policy; vlaakith can't stab tiamat in the back if it means tiamat might expose her and free the prince of the comet

3. wyll made his pact with mizora to fight off a cult of tiamat that was attempting to summon her

4. "the astral prism was stolen from tiamat and zariel subsequently tasked mizora with retrieving it to make the queen of chromatic dragons shut the fuck up" makes more sense than "shadowheart and the sharrans stole the prism for??? reasons???"

5. shadowheart was being groomed as the eventual chosen of shar; finding the nightsong should have always been her mission

6. this brings wyll's backstory into the plot in a more active way and gives him an internal conflict to struggle with

he cried for an hour, sobbing about plans and our future, straight up told me he's not going to "be able to" use any new pronouns or names i try, got better for a little bit but is obviously near suicidal right now, periodically sobbing and just generally incredibly upset. he spent like an hour yesterday going back through his phone and finding pictures to show me if when i was skinny with short hair in highschool and talking about how cute i was. he's acting like I died or something.

as expected, he's really focused on how this all is going to be hard for him. i can expect no support, but i wasn't really expecting support from him anyway. it still hurts, though. he's trans too and you'd think that'd mean he would be more accepting but he's also got some mental illness he's not interested in working on so i guess that cancels out.

imagine you are an out trans woman in an engineering position, and have been medically transitioning and out at the company for at least several years.

a newer (cis male presenting) hire from a different department who you had a good conversation with on your first day and who has been otherwise really bad at keeping in contact wants to figure out how to contact you outside of your work's teams chat to ask about your experiences with transition in the workplace
