Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #1: Achievements! ๐Ÿ†

Some of you are casual collectors of achievements, while others might enjoy the hunt for them! (You can also always turn them off with how I have the books coded. ๐Ÿ˜‚) Regardless of your play style, it's my hope that the achievements catch your attention! There are hints within them and often some humor, but I've been noticing a slightly disquieting trend in Book Two's.

They're kind of mean.

Question: "I wondered about this for a bit, but R [...] seems to be a rather dominant partner. How would they handle a similarly assertive and daring MC? Would there be more tension between them or will they have to figure out how to co-exist with their similarly assertive nature? I'm curious about how the dynamic might play out in this case."

This post is going to spotlight: Milton Callaway, the first Fernweh born and bred (sorry @ baby Bambi) character your Returning Visitor encounters in Book One! I feel it's timed perfectly with our other post about additional character name meanings. He's an important character!

During the first book, Milton can provide a minor scare and lean into the horror hallmark of a small town cop coming upon the main character. F...
