Can we talk about how RQ!Einsten is like that because he has the magical equivalent of a brain injury and used to actually know a lot about magic instead of just teleport? About how the other academics and Harlequins were dismisive of him because of it and how he was afraid to tell the party about it because he was ashamed? About how still he is one of the few that survives and he is helpfull and how the party loves and suports him from the start and are always keen to thank him and say how great he is and they do it not out of pity but because they truly see how great he is and all of them love him and don't see him as less or dumb and just genuinally loves him and see him as familly? Can we talk about that?

Jonny: This is my main characther Jonathan Sims, total original name, no relation to myself Jonathan Sims.

Alex: That's my great brand new NPC irish poet and playwrigther Oscar Wilde. Yes, one day he'll write Dorian Gray, thank you for asking.

Everytime I remember RQG Oscar is not a D&Dads Taylor Swift situation but he truly is an alternative universe version of real historical Oscar Wilde I have to pause for a second.

And while this is true for all historical NPCs, the fact Oscar is basically a party member at this point makes him in particular weirder for me (and Eisnten at s3 but I grew up with Einsten look alikes and fictionalized Eistens in tbh a weird amount of cartoons and educational math games my school sometimes tried to make us play on their one PC).

And that came up again twice in like 10 minutes I literally was listening to RQG and uploading some PDFs that I got recently in my phone (by totally legal means not even a bit related to the guys with parrots and skull crossed flags and ships) into my kindle and it got into An Ideal Husband and my brain just broke. Literally broke. And when I was better from the "oh yeah that's a thing" and reopened the podcast, Alex goes "Wilde is wearing the fur coat of the famous pictures of irl Oscar Wilde" and I just had to control myself to not laugh out loud like a weirdo.

The most insane thing about Howard Carter is that based on his inteoduction he is actually suposed to be a fictionalized version of a real british archeology of the time (so basically thief, stealing other people's cultures). I sort off knew that because and that will now haunt my dreams: Carter Kane from the Kane Chronicles was named aftter him (he says so in the book) but I was unsure cause the fandom does not act like that.

Like when tagging him no one goes "rqg Howard Carter" like they do with Wilde and Einsten and Currie. There's no distiction. Like no one would say "I love how Emília Earhart is a gnome just to show how special she is" and add no clarification.

I mean literally when talking about Carter's and Wilde dinamic Wilde gets the "rqg Oscar Wilde" tag but Howard is just Howard. And like Howard Carter isn't as famous and honestly the name is more common than Wilde's or Earhart or fucking Einsten. That being said my brain is now imagining an actuall irl very british very regency and very colonial archeologist getting in the RQG world.
