Mike Walters' adamant insistence that he's Not A Good Person, his chewing out of Dexter for being a bad portrayal of a "psychopath", his quick decision to become The Sort Of Person that wins woe.begone (with little thought for the existing Mike he'd be replacing), Cannonball calling him a "real sociopath"... there's Something there. I get the sense that this isn't the first time Mike's been called a sociopath/psychopath/[insert derogatory term for various personality disorders here]. I also think he'd disagree with those assessments (and back up his disagreement with reasoning), but not necessarily with the sentiment behind them.
Mike's readiness to give an impromptu logic/evidence breakdown of any moral conviction he holds (e.g. criticism of police) might tie into this as well - guy who makes an effort to choose his morals consciously rather than subconsciously, because he doesn't trust his subconscious? - but that might also just be "the writers wanted to say that".

wyll has a specific thing for rangers and here is my evidence
has flirtatious class-specific dialogue at the tiefling party but ONLY for ranger and ONLY above an approval threshold
calls minsc 'the beloved ranger'
becomes a ranger in the hells if he breaks his pact with mizora & loses his warlock levels

I haven’t been insane about Vi enough lately so time to pour out some random thoughts. free association thinking time:
been thinking about her “It's my savings. I wanna be rich, okay? So I can travel, eat well, buy cool stuff… So no one can say I can't do something!” And none of the following will really be insightful or revelatory because it’s just what she says here but. yeah! that’s vi! the main reason she’s so big on money is because she has to be to get what she wants out of life! it’s what lets her say no to people telling her what to do, and that’s important to her because she has no choice but to be independent and support herself. because no one else will. No one at the Hive had anything positive or supportive to say about her being an explorer until she went out and did it (to a ridiculously successful degree, too. I have to wonder if/how it might’ve differed if she was on a regular accomplishment level team. not the one leading them all to the mission to the Hive). she never had a choice not to be. I could also see that being a little part of why she starts out not really being a teamwork person. past experiences have taught her she can’t rely on anyone else for support. (does make me wonder about what if she’d met Chubee before leaving the Hive. obviously she still would’ve left, but how might even a bit of support have changed other things?)
I feel like we don’t talk about the fact that The Beemerang Is Also Knives enough
ok so at one point there was this post talking about people with money and how it affects their life like. if you can afford to get a nanny then you can only do the fun parts of childcare and when you stop feeling like taking care of the kid you can just hand them to someone else to take them away. and again likely not especially revelatory but I would guess that’s the kind of way queen bianca handled the bees as her daughters (she does care about them. absolutely. but not in the same hands-on attached way as we usually associate with parents) and thinking about how that kind of treatment would then apply to vi....hm
in universes where discussions of Gender and Pronouns etc happen I think she has moments where she gets frustrated with the everything of Being Referred To and Having Complicated Identity She Hasn’t Quite Figured Yet and is like. gender is cancelled how dare you refer to me. but especially anyone else calls me a girl ever i will be stabbing them
also I think a lot about what circumstances she finds out about gayness/Gender being things. and whether she’s thought about it in herself before and whether she’d been dismissed on it/told it wasn’t a thing etc. most circumstances she ends up angry about the finding out times because of (un)consicious internal conflict stuff
underground tavern stuff implies she was definitely doing quests and stuff for money with them precanon. would kill to know what specifically it was. but also the first talk with utter implies that she was doing stuff off that questboard as well which is even more intriguing. utter’s spy also implies you don’t have to be an explorer to do them but otherwise you would think you did I feel. so again very curious what was up there
