i'm speechless. this was beyond gorgeous. people complaining about this being "pretentious" because the author uses "big words" are either reading too quickly or are mad that their vocabularies are so limited. these words are not uncommon in writing, and they're not obscure, and knowing/using them does not make the author pretentious. you just need to expand your vocabulary.

looking forward to reading khaw's critical role piece. laudna is my fave character in all 3 campaigns and i am certain they'll be able to do her story justice. until then, i will be checking out their other works!
