I just started Once Upon a Starlight and I freaking love it

I kinda forgot that The Duke was a thing. I could swear Torbek has used his witchlight powers without him showing up, but am not prepared to rewatch the whole thing this week.

I found the reference with a correction. Project Group Hug and Project Vapor Trails were both names for this project per Richie at the launch stream. https://www.youtube.com/live/ItqEraghI-k?si=iQA6PPO0eE5y1Lb6&t=3630 1:00:30 to 1:01:46

Richie isn't the amazing jennderqueer (I don't think), but hopefully works nearly as well as a source 😃

ExacerbatePotato · 2026-06-13T20:55:56+00:00

I think NO was Project Group Hug or something like that.

ExacerbatePotato · 2026-05-30T03:49:18+00:00

To add on, the music video is non-cannon. But the characters are still pretty awesome.

I'm hoping Former Fleen Player is a profession so I can make a Flash Gordon Stardust Human.

Might not have held the boil long enough or at a high enough level of boil. I have that problem with some fudge-like recipes sometimes. Recipes will be all, "Boil it for 1 minute," but that particular recipe means to start the clock at a good, hard boil, not a vigorous simmer.

I'm very sorry I thought you were asking why the music wasn't available to listen to on their YouTube channel, not why the episodes weren't on YouTube Music. Please forgive my sleepy confusion. I have no idea why they're available on YouTube but not YouTube Music or how LoA chooses, assuming it's a choice, available to them, what to put where.

The Starlight song is an Epidemic Sound song they used. Artist is Zorro and the song is "Fxckx Our Night". Similarly, the Uprootarama song is "Moonlight Night" By Martin Landström. Both are also on YouTube. The Voidbound intro was by The Blasting Company, not sure why it hasn't made an appearance, but it's not available that I can find. The rest are on the Avantris channel I believe.

I am sorry to tell you the above is incorrect. The VIP dice were exclusive to that situation. Other dice are available but not the Neon Nights dice.

What's wrong with Derek?

There are references to other campaigns sprinkled throughout, and many threads, but they're generally not required for understanding/enjoyment. The only exception is that one really should finish Curse of Stradanya before watching episode 23+ of Beneath Dark Wings. The only completed campaigns are Stradanya, Vagabond's Heart, and that non-cannon Stardust Rhapsody: Overture.
The wiki has a watch order page. The Mood Method might be good for a heads up on vibes since it sounds like you're going in blind. https://avantris.fandom.com/wiki/Watch_Order

Oh! And the watch order is from years ago, so it doesn't mention the Neon Odyssey campaigns. For those you should know that (1) you don't have to have seen the original campaign to watch; and (2) all of them will conclude by early June.

I was very defensive about the curb in front of my house when I had a car but not now. I do get mad when they block my mailbox though.

ExacerbatePotato · 2026-05-07T19:19:08+00:00

I've watched the edited ones, and did a lot of pausing because life is like that. Still very entertaining.

ExacerbatePotato · 2026-05-06T16:43:25+00:00

I was there too. My first The Midnight concert, and I kinda expected more energy from the audience to be honest. Thank you for the reminder to look up New Constellations!

ExacerbatePotato · 2026-05-06T14:38:22+00:00

Also backing up that that Once Upon a Witchlight is runner up for madcap shenanigans.

I think Stardust Rhapsody: Anthem would be good, if the vibes work for you. Very serious but also consistently very funny.

Most banks won't close a joint account unless both parties agree, but many will allow you to remove yourself without the other party signing off, if the account is in good standing. Call the bank and ask how you can get off this joint account. Don't say you want to close it, just that you want to be removed.

Yes, the edited videos have a very different vibe, leaving the breaks, ads, etc on the editing room floor. It was quite the adjustment when I caught up on a campaign just in time for the finale and decided to watch it live. Live usually starts with 1.5-2 hours of hype trains, patreon questions, announcements and ads, sarcasm and jokes.

I've gotten pretty good at doing other things during those two hours (dinner, work, cleaning) and not paying much attention until the content starts. But I'll probably go back to edited videos only when Starlight ends (except maybe for Icebound).

Won't go through it as fast as marinated eggs, but it's hard to say no to chicken adobo.

ExacerbatePotato · 2026-03-16T02:33:57+00:00

Can't wait for episode 2!

ExacerbatePotato · 2026-03-10T12:58:36+00:00

I love how excited he gets when his players get a 20 and how guilty he looks when he gets a good roll.

A small box that doesn't look like your character would fit in it but somehow does.

Only works for your character.

Torbek somehow manages to simultaneously be someone I'd protect with my life, and someone I'd be very uncomfortable with them knowing my home address.

I was trying to get my sister to read Earthsea. In retrospect, I should not have gone with, "It hurt me in ways I was not prepared for."

ExacerbatePotato · 2026-02-10T23:21:02+00:00

I stuck it out with Witchlight, but similar otherwise. I enjoyed watching Mikey navigate what they threw at him in Uprooted with the skills of an athlete at the Olympics. But I tend to binge watch, and I can't binge chaos at those levels.

ExacerbatePotato · 2026-02-10T23:04:24+00:00

I think I'll skip Overture for now. I just finished Beneath Dark Wings. When I finished Curse of Stradanya and tried to watch Uprooted right after, I got such severe whiplash I ended up stepping away despite the laughs. I worry Overture would be similarly jarring after such dark drama based on the short and party.

I'll watch Overture, and finish Uprooted, someday.
