sorry I can't stop thinking about how bards are the perfect sort of class for characters that become genre savvy or aware they are in a narrative because they are trained to see story beats, trained to see the foreshadowing and red herrings in stories in order to tell them well. they are singers and storytellers and magic users that use magic to bolster tales, this is their bread and butter, so when faced with these things in reality? they might not want to acknowledge it, but they will have a sense of something not being quite right.

#bg3 #bg3 oc: era #it's the slow horror of wanting to be free of the tadpole only to have more and more tasks being piled up on you #tasks that heroes in stories would achieve #tasks that are weightier one after the other #first the refugees then the druids then the duke and the goblins #saving not one but two missing leaders (haslin and the duke)#investigating the possible treachery of another leader (khaga)#finding out there is a new religion with a mysterious god rising and somehow #the thing that iskilling you is what makes you part of that religion #these are all odd in a separate manner but together? they tell a story #a story a bard might begin to piece together unable to deny it but horrified by the implications of what it is to come #because bards are not meant to be part of the story #they are meant to be OUTSIDE of it
