Lastly I want to say thank you everyone for your support over the past couple years! And a big shoutout to @oncotd_guide, who took it upon himself to provide descriptions for the characters posted in the last year.
Thank you all very much!

For clarification: The account will still be here, and will still be posting occasionally - just less frequently. I'm thinking I might break the format on occasion too, maybe revisit some old characters or go more in-depth. We'll see what happens!
