#Theo Solomon

[thefallenangelsgang]

this is the MCM oneshot right?

[namig42]

New BG3 DnD one-shot just dropped! (Like two days ago, but I'm watching it now)

I've had a terrible 24 hours, but Neil, Sam, Dev, and Theo all put a massive smile on my face when I really needed it. I'm so grateful to the cast, this community, and the fact that it's still going strong 💛

i love him so much I asked what he'd call a romanced tav and he drops shakespeare on me hello???? and he starts with. tavtastic. i love him?

[Video description: A video of Theo Solomon, voice actor of Wyll Ravengard, speaking to the camera, doing a big gesture anytime he says "Blade of Frontiers". He says: "Hello Tav, my name is Wyll Ravengard, the Blade of Frontiers! And, Tav, I've heard you've taken a— a liking to me whilst playing BG3. Well, I'm not too surprised because... I mean, who else would you romance? You certainly do have good taste. Now, we need to think of a nickname for you, Tav. Hm. Well, there are the generic ones, or a play on words— Tavtastic, for example. But, Tav, I'd rather read you some poetry. Or recite you some poetry, as it were. Shakespeare once said in his most famous sonnet: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. You, Tav, ignite the fire in my heart. Your face shines brighter than the sun in the sky and your eyes glint like diamonds found in the dirt. You, Tav, are special to me, Wyll Ravengard; I would go above and beyond to protect you, over the hills of Faerûn, just to see you smile. Lots of love, Tav, from me, Wyll Ravengard, aka: The Blade of Frontiers! Lots of love."

An answer to the questions we were all asking: Does Wyll know how to have fun? Does he have lots of fun every day??

Enjoy this small Wyll propaganda video!

(small note: i am so sad that my game - ops my mods - broke again so I had to uninstall before I could replay act 3 and record more wyll lines, but at least I managed a three minutes video!)

(ALSO I KNOW THAT IS NOT A BEHOLDER, i forgot to put a note on it in video)

If Wyll Ravengard has a million fans I am one of them. If Wyll has fifty fans I am one of them. If Wyll has one fan, I am dead and it's Theo Solomon left holding down the fort.

Taking a moment to pause on the Halsin-exclusive content to bring you some Wyll Ravengard 🔥 Requested a Cameo from Theo for a pep-talk to overcome feeling disheartened by slow progress and staying positive in the face of unrelenting evil. What he delivered was amazing and I just wanted to share it here. Highly recommend getting a Cameo from him, if you can!

(Can we also talk about how beautiful he is??? And his voice??? 🫠🫠🫠🫠💕)

[miraculan-draws]

Theo performs SO MANY of Wyll's lines with this sort of like...not-quite hushed campfire intimacy that just makes you LISTEN!! It's hard to describe—its almost like he's closer to the mic, which is probably untrue given the rigs I've seen in the behind the scenes shots but still.

There are very SPECIFIC scenes that stand out to me with the other actors that hit the same tickle-spot for my ears: Gale's act 2 confession ("I love this time of night"), Shadowheart's Selûnite Act 3 ending ("I don't deserve to be anyone's daughter) and Astarion's graveyard scene ("Maybe. But he did take it.)

But I hear it from Wyll just in normal camp conversations. Even super early!! The story about the farmer and the devil in ACT ONE is spoken with such carefulness, so is his warning about Mizora coming for him. And like!! It's very cool when you think about it from a mechanical standpoint. He has the highest charisma. He knows how to make you pay attention. It feels intentional, and it's cool to imagine it is even if it's just as likely a very lovely tonal quality in Theo's voice.

What's happening with Theo Solomon is so, so frustrating and needless and disgusting (more info can be found at this post), and I also want to acknowledge the treatment of Wyll's original voice/mo-cap actor, Lanre Malaolu.

Malaolu gave an excellent performance! His delivery and the way he incorporated mannerisms and posture into Wyll's physicality was amazing. The original characterization of Wyll was written very well and matched the general tone of the wider party/narrative.

And to suddenly have Larian, years into the project, rewrite the character entirely and then re-cast it? To have other actors talk about how Wyll just 'wasn't working' as a character? All because of fan criticism that places ridiculous (and often contradictory) standards and expectations on black characters. Even if the re-cast resulted from scheduling conflicts (as Malaolu couldn't come in to re-record), we lost Malaolu's entire performance because of a rewrite that was simply not necessary.

And after disregarding Malaolu's years of work into this character, the same criticisms that Larian caved into are thrown at Wyll's rewrite, and the same disregard is being seen with Theo Solomon again and again. As someone who started playing early access when it first came out, fans' treatment of Wyll and his actors hasn't gotten better. It's actively gotten worse.

Wyll is truly the only sane person in this party. (Dialogue from The Muppets.)

[a-rogue-tiddy-bot]

Love the way everyone cares more about players disrespecting BG3's fave white male character than they do about giving respect to an actual living, breathing black man. Theo Solomon deserves better.

[finnick002]

Theo's such a cutie 🥰🫡

If you didn't know the story behind the leather helmet - Theo gave Wyll this helmet in his run and mocked (affectionately) the shit out of how ugly and funny he looks. Then he gave his Tav, Theodore, the exact same helmet and called them pairing helmets. It's become a meme in his streams now.

More Theo photos from DragonCon coming soon!

[limpfisted]

in stream we have learned that:

theo made up the blade salute himself! to make his mark on the character

larian wanted wyll to be “somewhere between idris elba and daniel kaluuya” and theo thought he wpuld fit the role

he originally was in a play that did really well, decided not to go on tour, n then ended up doing bg3.

he thinks wyll would be a fire fighter in a modern au, but his first answer was bouncer

he said mizora had regina george vibes lol

he says we need to bring back rizz like wylls

his favorite vicious mockery quote is the one abt toenail tasting

he was very gravious abt the panel n said that he usually just hangs back and is more “chill” in group interviews and orefers “stuff like this” one on one on twitch and stuff

he remembered p much everyone he met at mcm, he said he appreciated everybodys love for him n support

he personally complimented havadoodle’s art multiple times, n said it was so popular they had to run n get more!

his favorite line is the ICONIC “provoke the blade, and suffer its sting.”

he answered my question PERSONAAAAAALLLY (#famous) and said wyll would dress up as thor for halloween n go from house to house giving ppl sweets

theo says wyll wouldnt kill anybody if he didnt have to, he says wyll would kiss shadowheart bc shes so sweet, and marry laezel bc opposites attract! (so true)

theo kept calling his red smoothie “astarion juice”

THEO SAID HIS TIME AT MCM WAS ONE OF THE BEST WEEKENDS OF HIS LIFE, he says hes felt so much love wahhhh

wyll could sleep with a teddy n theo still has a blanket from when he was a kid.

they will be doing more streams ahhhhh
