Brite Pearl Island - ACNH

Lou plays Kingston, Jammer, Amethar, and Fabian with such history and presence in the world that grounds things, even as they get so fucking wild

Siobhan’s characters have such a heart and earnestness to them that makes them lovable, even when they’re kinda low key dirtbags like Misty (or how Ruby gets for awhile)

Zac’s, oh Zac’s. They’re so beautifully dim, but also pure and just want to support anyone they attach themselves to. They help people be better, even without actually trying, like with Gorgug and Ricky.

Brian and his characters are all rooted in determination and kindness. Theo, Kugrash, and Riz, even Cody, all know what the right thing is and give so much of themselves to the act of being good for people they’re sworn to, people they’ve just met, people who the world doesn’t always think of.

Ally’s characters are often comic relief, but there’s a strong thread of rebirth across Pete and Kristen. (I haven’t finished Shriek Week and am a few episodes from finishing Crown of Candy as I write this!) When they become who they know they are, they become so much more free and a better person as a result, even as they fuck up along the way.

Sofie, Fig, Ruby, and Saccharina all yearn. It’s never quiet, but Emily plays it so earnestly and it’s so affecting that you can’t help but be charmed by her…and also she plays the most batshit chaotic people in existence, who the hell let this woman play D&D.
