You win, Bentley

2014 "Caer's Story":
Hints:
“Design quirks” hint
For one, I can’t see blue. Regardless, I used the blue color in the palette because why not. 8D
I also don’t like doing spots. They’re a pain in the butt for me to do, but if I’m going to not listen to someone it’s going to be me not listening to myself. So… blue spots.
Also, I have this bad, bad habit of making complicated designs. If it’s too simple, I get suspicious and start thinking it’s not done, so I just keep going until it’s darn near impossible to draw. xD Whoops?
”Shouldn’t have trouble seeing much” hint
The eyes glow. xD I would have said that it wouldn’t have trouble seeing in the dark, but being vague is more fun~


2015 "Lir's Story":
Hints:
Pretty much every Supernatural GIF I used was an attempt to point to Winchester (and got a little clouded because I always use Supernatural GIFs), which his connection is explained below~

2016 "Soláthraí's Story":
Hints
“Seeing you guys turn into amped-up hint-hungry little monsters from these puzzles... ”
“The jolting, halting paths and the huge vaults into the unknown, I'm loving it~~”
“Relentless, I tell you.”
“Burning all of your time looking backward in order to look forward only makes sense if you're looking in the right places, no?”
“(Pande28: Good detectiving, now amp it up a notch and burn the nos. You'll get there!)”
“(you guys are rock stars at this!)”
This photo [Rockstar, Monster and Amp tabs]
-- > All of these are references to energy drinks. Every single bolded word here is the name of an energy drink and you all have no idea how hard I was trying to not just throw these at you. xD
I ended up tagging the more obvious ones with letters, which probably only make sense to me. That’s the z b x d thing. I figured if you all were searching for transparent text, I could at least do that for you… well, it ended up going nowhere, lol. I said nothing useful was in the transparent text… I didn’t lie.
And, energy drinks, of course, lead to Red Bull. :D Which, I don’t drink, so there aren’t any of those tabs in the photo. Aheh.

2015, Bentley used gif's as a hint to point to someone. This year, the gifs might mean something as well?
He told us to look up his previous staff pets to learn their stories, and then said "Look harder" and "Look beyond what you see"
Maybe, instead of looking at the stories just for background, we can look for patterns in the stories, or look for patterns in the hints. Instead of just looking at everything as a whole, we can look beyond what we see at a glance, and we might find something there?
I'm going to see if I can get the time to read up on everything, but hopefully this might shed some well needed light?
Or maybe I'm going in the completely wrong direction...

You are the warmest thus far. Right idea, at any rate. Have a cookie. C:

Some people use puns, some use code; double meanings are my typical verbal weapons of choice. This is why I am very precise in my words (stealth =/= creep, for example), and why I choose the particular words that I use.
