Stardrop Tea

Grab your favorite mug and settle in! This week on Stardrop Tea, Hilary and Shirley are diving deep into the question: Who is finally getting a bouquet? 💐 With the massive 10-year anniversary update on the horizon, we’re speculating on which two NPCs are graduating from "just friends" to full-blown romance options. Is it finally time for the Wizard to find love beyond his tower? Can we finally marry Robin and give her the life she deserves? Does Marlon need someone to share his monster-slaying stories with? Or are we finally going to get a library date with Gunther?Editor’s Notes:Free masks: https://maskbloc.org/ Shirley’s mask pick: WellbeforeHilary’s mask pick: evolvetogetherResources & Links:SandyWizardMarlonSlime HutchAdventurer's GuildMarnieGunther✨ Don’t forget to rate, review, and send us your thoughts!Insta @StardropTea.podcastEmail: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠stardropteapodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merch: https://stardropteapodcast-shop.bigcartel.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/StardropTeaOriginal Art by ⁠⁠⁠⁠Brianne Burnell⁠ | Original Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠egward⁠Hosts: Shirley & Hilary!
