#just me ranting about scenes and characters that rhyme and my poor choice of attachments

[thefallenangelsgang]

I really should stop trusting Nikkie. I keep getting burned

If you told me a year and some change ago that the silly little DnD group I happened upon was going to have some of the most gut wrenching stories and performances I've ever seen I would have told you to kick stones.

But Holy FUCK

(Cut for Gen Spoilers of EOM and OUAW. Don't read if you haven't seen up to EOM 19 and OUAW 53)

First it was Twig being dead from the moment I met her.

I started listening to Once Upon a Witchlight October 23, 2022. I met Twig in August the next year. Twig died for me on October 24, 2023.

The Irony of my second year of LoA starting with Twig dying was not lost on me.

Absolutely wrecked by that (and caught up on OUaW) I turned to Edge of Midnight and subsequently fell deeply in love with the cast and the NPCs.

Apparently not learning from Twig (I still had reason to HOPE dammit) I fell head over heels for the way the party immediately loved Anya and Collette. The idea of ANYTHING happening to them really fucking sucked.

and then Nikkie traumatizes Collette and sets up Anya as being in grievous danger and I'm so blind with wanting something to go right for the characters, because some of them genuinely NEED it for their arcs before they fall down a path of no return, I can't see that Nikkie has been using Anya this entire time.

Anya has been Mother Midnight this ENTIRE TIME.

Well fuck, Mace and I are 0-2 on favorite NPCs

And I vow that I'm not going to get hurt again, fool me twice and all that jazz.

But I am still attached to Twig and something is WRONG

I am taking the hallucinations with a grain of salt but there is a connection between Twig and Baba Yaga and the hags that isn't looking pretty

and I am so deeply afraid that its going to be another Anya situation. but I can't stop loving that little war criminal Twig.

Just PLEASE be savable Twig, that's all I ask.
