As someone who read the second half of the Drizzt series as it came out (yes I'm that old lol), I just know you have thoughts about him/the books so PLEASE share! So glad there are so many younger DND players getting into it and keeping our lovely boy alive <3

YOU'RE SO RIGHT ANON I DO HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT HIM

i just!!!! love him!!! so much!!!! he's such a treasure

idk if this is me just overthinking things but the fact that he's THE dnd hero but he's also like. a petite little guy and his defining character trait is being KIND and he loves his friends and he's very physically affectionate (which feels kind of crazy to me that the early books came out so long ago and he was always like that??) and his best friend is his cat and he likes to have FUN and he treats swordfighting like dancing and he STILL sought the approval of his family even after years of abuse aND HE JUST LOVES EVERYONE SO MUCH

he's truly the fantasy protagonist of all time i love him i need to kiss him on the forehead

#ramble #legend of drizzt #i love that people just Know how i feel about him akdfhdfh #i am nothing if not consistent #spoilers ahead for these decades old books lmao #and also it's wild to me that he has VERY obvious ptsd/survivor's guilt but nobody outside of the drow make him feel less than for it???#ngl it was a slog getting through the opening of book 1 but then he started drawing on the floor with his feet and i was in love with him #i am SO excited to take him to mcm in may #i never do cis male characters but i'm also a short king so i feel weirdly comfortable akdhdfh #i'm cooking an essay in my brain about the drow bc i have so many thoughts #disclaimer: i do practice media literacy. i know these books aren't perfect and a lot of dnd lore is. bad #there's a lot of it where i'm like 'hm i don't feel good about the real world connotations this has'#tbh i think all you can do is say 'this was problematic then and it is now so let's acknowledge that it happened and not do it ourselves'
