Because we know that but not where he picked up Truth Teller- thanks Sarah.)

Sjm 101 - Character Deep Dive - Azriel; Emo Boi part 1 07.02.2023

The start of Azriels Character deep dive or my talk therapy? I don’t know I’ll let you decide. Count how many times my throat catches as I both swoon and hurt for our Shadowsinger.

Sjm Chaos - Aka; The Reason Why I Lose Sleep At Night 22.11.2022
