Goddammit I do not want to engage or start shit in the main tag, but how someone can choose the 70+ episodes of slow burn as their example for how fandom affects game play. What the fuck.

And how can you not buy it from Vex’s part, she has been pushing this since the early thirties, I had trouble buying it from Percy’s part for a bit. Ugh

And Taliesin has kept straight who Percy has heard during the resurrection. Matt told him he heard Vex, that’s what he told the cosplayer as far as we know, and that’s what he’s said on the show once the time was right.

And half of that is Talks Machina content, so the person who posted this can’t even have missed that Laura and Taliesin said the characters have been stewing on this for over 70 episodes or maybe even pre-stream. Gaaaah.

I mean. The fact that they have an audience has always affected some things, like the fancyness of the battle maps, the showiness in the battles, and the inability to pick your nose. But if you really want to see the audience affecting them, look at the live shows.

(And yes, that’s also when the title happened, but you could see Taliesin getting it ready the episode before that, and there was no way of knowing they wouldn’t get to the point where he can use it then. If anything, the cast seemed surprised they cut off before getting to Syldor.)

…And this is why we should keep ship hate out of the main tag, kids.
