taako has a shirt that says “i think wizards should be able to vote” and every time he’s out in public some good samaritan stops him to make his day with the news that yes, in fact, they can, and he just loses it. complete fake-joy sobbing mess in the street. he thinks it’s the funniest thing in the world until magnus refuses to go out in public with him anymore
I absolutely cried. (this is what I imagined when Griffin said “A pair of hands”)
[image description: an illustration of Hurley and Sloane in their dryad forms, sticking out of the trunk of a tree to each grab an incoming blade with one hand. They both have light brown wood-grained skin and bright green hair adorned with small pink flowers. Hurley is shorter and stockier than Sloane, and her hair is pulled into a bun. Sloane is slender and her hair is loose, hanging down her back. They both have small, determined smiles on their faces.]
Is it possible that affecting an exaggerated voice of some kind is just Elf Culture in the world of the adventure zone? because it seems like it’s not just taako. when the boys meet elves, talking in a natural register is the exception, not the rule.
with lup, it could just be “oh that’s a family trait,” but Magic Brian, Edward, and Lydia all have very similar vocal patterns. And Jenkins, who I almost forgot was also an elf until I relistened, has a different but equally ridiculous voice.
all i’m saying is, maybe taako wasn’t goofing when he said he was glad to hear magic brian “talk normally”
