still wish shadowsight died instead of bristlefrost. not out of any particular malice towards the character I just think HE was the one most consistently tangled up with the imposter.

he was his first target, and continued to be throughout the arc. rootspring had the brambleghost subplot for a bit; and bristle HAD been pretty involved through the imposter manipulation until root needed a reciprocating girlfriend.

not saying it's impossible for bristle to sacrifice herself instead, but the character we got in end...well it felt like she didn't earn the grand finale y'know?

also with shadow gone we wouldn't get sadboy angst over a dead lover or whatever (I have no idea how prevalent rootsprings grief has been in asc btw. if at all.)
