ok i have been making my way through the drizzt novels (only on book 3 so far) but it is sooo funny to see canon!drizzt compared to likeβ¦ the ttrpg zeitgeist of him??? Like basically when I heard about him before it was likeβ¦ oh he is super edgy and has a ~tragic backstory~ and players make βdrizzt cloneβ characters when they want an edgy character.
Which yes he does have a tragic backstory and is edgy but also has a mushy gooey center??? he loves his friends so much??? Heβs not even an edgy loner bc he wants to make friends and connect to other people so badly but is too scared and shy about it! he followed a group of gnomes to hear their voices bc he is lonely! his best friend is a big kitty!! He tried to befriend a skunk!!!
