So, about a week ago I get a message in the cast’s group chat:
Erin: I think Ian has been secretly reading Tumblr all these years because I think this is close to the actual plot of our show.

“What are they on about?” I wonder to myself between plotting ways to murder everyone’s characters and forgetting the names of important NPCs.
To Tumblr! Where I find this (if you need it, I’ve put a transcript at end of this post):
Listen, you can’t *prove* anything. Probably. This Dave isn’t even a Great Wizard! “Archmage” is totally different!
(Good, now they’ll never figure it out. Airtight! >.>;;;)
In all seriousness, I had never seen this post before (and haven’t logged into Tumblr for years), but it was too funny a coincidence not to share with all of you.
Dudes named Dave are just holding up the world in all universes. Fuckin’ Dave…

the king has abruptly fired 60% of his wizard staff, so he’s about to be abruptly surprised at who floated 100% of his formerly floating sky castle

I heard they're planning to maintain their levitation rites with autonomous constructs from now on, saying wizards are going to be totally obsolete within the season... so, ah, I'd invest in falling island insurance.

#ironically the castle has only stayed floating becuase Archmage Dave was holding all the institutional knowledge from the original team
#and also maintaining the Leviation Widget which is crucial to maintaining the gyroscope spells that stop the castle from flipping over
#anyway Dave was axed because he wasn't 'innovating'
#because instead he spent all day every day maintaining the Widget
#hope His Majestoy enjoys sitting in his throne while his house does a barrel roll
