i'd still be tempted to play them but not past the travelercon arc because. god.

i got into CR2 when i was having a really rough time and temporarily dropped out of school and it was around the point where i was figuring shit out about myself. i dropped it around travelercon less so because of the show itself and more because the fandom was an unrelentingly toxic place to be in

like i was big into beau/jester, so lmfao, it was hard finding people to follow who weren't just. the worst. i always kind of meant to pick it back up when things calmed down and there were some things i saw vicariously that i was super into like the whole lucien arc and the reveals about the ancient flying totally not netheril cities, and essek and yasha

but then i have to mentally wrestle with getting past the whole "it was just lust" thing and like, that felt like such a fucking slap to the face lmao. i get why they basically retconned the whole beau and jester thing because the fandom was such a hell to be around but god. wow. they really just reframed it like that.

i'm pretty sure if i actually watched it i'd find things to enjoy about it but it's so many hours after i've already spent literal weeks watching something that already kind of massively disappointed me on multiple different fronts - even though i made a bunch of friends out of it and got into dnd out of it and like, got into dimension 20 as a result

every now and again i just think of it and feel sad
