I Am So Normal About Anton And Billy But Every Time They Show Up I Take A Ton Of Pictures Of Them From

If you ask me how I feel about Anton, I can't put everything into words, so here's some images I found on Pinterest to help me articulate.

Update:

I AM A LIGHTER FAN.

Guys I think I'm morphing into a Lighter fan. Updates coming soon.

Why am I treating tumblr like my personal diary?? 💀

Always got some vent or some thoughts in drafts. I keep forgetting this is a website. Online. On the internet. Where other people can see everything I say.

Random little Avantris details I never pointed out before but won’t leave me now (not specific to any particular campaign, and little to no spoilers of any campaign mentioned)

In Beneath Dark Wings, I love that in Felix’s introduction, Andy was basically over here like “This is Felix, my beautiful baby boy. He’s running from the government and I love him dearly :)”, while everyone else was essentially like “this is my character. And that is all I’m gonna say about them”

In Edge of Midnight, Richie just. Fingerspelling H-E-X every time he uses Hexsblade Curse. Tho I think I’m just partially happy I can understand it lol

The fact that some of them do research on their characters beforehand??? The ones I’ve mostly noticed this so far is Andy, Mikey, and Richie, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the others do research for their characters too. Like with Andy knowing about Tieflings Virtue Names (like Shepherd); Richie seemingly looking up actual Latin for the Heart and Harvest oneshot (idk if he was actually changing IN Latin, but it sounded better than just taking the names of some spells and just adding -io at the end); etc.

Some of the characters just straight up looking like their player. It’s most obvious with Marius (Andy) and Gideon (Mace), but I feel like Gricko shares some resemblance with Mikey, Jornir with Richie, Kana with Maya, and Victoria with Kelsey (tho with those last 2 I feel are slightly skewed bc they actually cosplay their characters for CoS). The only one I’m having trouble placing is Derek, but my mind also keeps telling me that Frost vaguely looks like him so idk.

The DMs constantly asking each other questions like “what stat would you use for this roll” or “how hard should i realistically make this DC for this roll, and why”. And the players consistently replying with legitimate answers to these questions, and reasoning for these answers.

Also the worldbuilding feels so…idk, collaborative? Like, I’m pretty sure this world is of Mikey’s creation, but the others seem to build onto it constantly and so seamlessly and I lowkey love it??? Also makes the world feel more alive somehow, and I’m not sure why.

The sheer amount of differing personalities between characters???? Like, it’s so easy to just make every character you play just have your personality, but the cast, for the most part, don’t do that. Of course, there are some semblances of a player’s personality that won’t go away regardless of character (most notably with Andy and Mikey, I’ve realized), but the majority of the personality is very different. The best example I can give is Mace’s characters—at least Gideon, Yorgrim, and Taishen—they’re all Mace (Taishen more-so I think), but they’re very different characters. Richie’s characters are also a great example of this (Clayton, Kremy, Jornir, Briggsy, Toa).

Also how interactive they are with the fandom as a whole??? They interact with their fans, fanart, they keep up with what ships and characters are popular and why. Idk, it makes them feel a lot more real to me.

This was supposed to just be me pointing out little details in different campaigns, but it turned into me actually realizing just why I lowkey love this fandom? Not just the media, but the fanbase, and how they interact with the fandom. Idk, this has been one of the healthiest fandoms I’ve been in in a WHILE. Like, no, it isn’t perfect, but considering that some of my most recent fandoms included all sorts of controversy and content creators being shitty people, this is an upgrade lol.

Oowhejgdkshskiwkdhwu I'm normal everyone needs to see this right now

Idk about you but I’m loving Outer Ring NPC fashion

Gricko, never takes anything seriously, is an ass post of the time

Kremy: "Let's use Torbek for the drugs in his veins for money!"

Gricko:

I only played the demo for this game and already it's affecting me in ways. I might go feral before it fully releases oml.

I'm going to give you 4 exams in a row back to back, forcing you to focus on studying for one of them and neglect the others, causing you to fail at least one of them after becoming too burnt out from the other 3 to study for it even a little.

I'm on episode 11 of Edge of Midnight.

I don't know what I was expecting, but it was certainly not this. I have no idea how I managed to eat anything today but I did.

But oh my goodness episode 10 and 11 have been the most uncomfortable episodes so far😭
