20/7/22: Edited to include Aabria because I’ve seen her in more than one thing now

And Annie. Oh Annie Wintersummer, with all her guilt and fighting so hard to control things that are so far out of her control to keep those around her safe. The way she processed her emotions in this arc was so therapeutic. There were a couple of times she legit made me cry on the bus when I was listening to and from work. And her conversation with Charles was beautiful, that she was beginning to see that she was worth love and care, that she can find that within herself, not just from others, but also that she can rely on others too, she doesn’t have to carry everything alone, she’s got her party, she’s got Charles. I don’t even have the words to describe it all but Gus did a very good job with all of that and I hope he knows the positive impact that his character has had on people. I know I am not the only one hit so strongly by her journey.

Oh yes!!! DnD podcasts were my gateway to paying (though I knew of its existence and wanted to get into it long before, I just didn't know how). I'd have to say my biggest influences on DMing are Griffin McElroy and Matthew Mercer. Also, Haley and Gus from Unprepared Casters are super inspiring too, and I have a feeling will provide the balance I need between TAZ and Critical Role in terms of energy and techniques.
