I know it's from before the plot really took shape, but the description of Merle feeling "dizzy and faint" when he casts Detect Magic to try and understand more about the umbrastaff...

don’t think about the fact that magnus tried to warn people and stay as long as he could with gundren in phandalin because he subconsciously felt guilty about all the lives lost due to the sevens relics and specifically the gauntlet that caused lups disappearance.

the thing they dont tell you about listening to the adventure zone for the first time is that you'll miss them for the rest of your life. taako magnus and merle will be held in your heart wherever you go. when you binge it and get caught up to the eleventh hour in 2016 and you're a sophomore in high school shoving your sweatshirt sleeve in your mouth to stop yourself from laughing you have no idea that you'll be coming up on christmas 2022 and it's been six years and a goblin that looks like common and sounds like kelsey grammer will still make you laugh. you hear "are you naming your god damn wizard taako?" and that's it for you. you're in for life.

I love the implications of the seven birds being from a more technologically advanced world than faerun (knowledge of TV, understanding of machine guns "count the shells", using microphones ect) because how many things was Lucretia not able to erase? Across 99 planes, it's impossible that she managed to get everything. And how well was she really able to introduce the more medieval concepts of faerun into their memories?
What did the THB think everyone was doing just waving swords around rather than pulling out guns; did they just accept it and move on? Imagine Lucretia trying to explain them to a weapons development department of the BoB to equip her employees. Lucretia, a records keeper, who cannot have a great understanding of the inner workings of firearms. Vaguely describing rectangles that explode to a reception of horrified looks.
Or Taako repeatedly asking Sazed to supply him with various kitchen utensils he insists are vital for the recipe that just Do Not Exist. Magnus, complaining that he can't play little games on his stone of farspeech, while everyone around is completely baffled at the concept. Everyone around them not only not getting their pop culture references, but being fundamentally incapable of understanding them.
I just think there is something so funny about them functionally time travelling and then promptly forgetting they were from a different era at all. And just. Having to get on with it.

listening to justin talk about taako’s childhood/early adulthood during the temporal chalice rewind and him saying that taako has just like- been alone pretty much since he was twelve, he didn’t have anyone watching his back. and im remembering griffin introducing lup. i don’t remember specifics but i remember him telling us how taako begins to remember that he wasn’t alone, that she was there with him the whole time and 🥺😭
ALSO I WANT TO KNOW THE BOYS’ AND CLINT’S REACTIONS TO THE DESCRIPTIONS OF STATIC AND THE REVEAL OF THE STOLEN CENTURY

"Magnus you earned this happy ending, you worked so hard for it. It should have been yours. But it hasn't happened yet, not yet, not here, not now"
