Hi Everyone!

I hope you're having a bootiful day/night. πŸ‘»

Author's View: Mal Always Keeps Score 😱

Hi Hickory Patrons!

I hope you're doing well. πŸ’š

Originally, this Author's View was entitled: 'A Trend Emerges πŸ”ͺ or πŸ›‘'. With the alpha drops now being accelerated so one complete branch will be released each month, I realized it might be best to let you all spot the trend naturally. I was going to tease some out of context lines and go into the RO's protective tendencies along with some lore with their names/families. That is still on the table ...

Question: "We know about MC's Mom's side of the family, but, are we going to learn anything about their Father's side? I'm curious because not only does it seem MC's Father took MC's Mother's last name, but MC's Father and his family is never mentioned (or hardly mentioned in the case of the Father himself). If this is too spoilery then a simple "yes" or "no" or "it's up to headcanon" works for an answer too if you like. Thank you."

Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #2: πŸ’œ

Some of you might have had a guess about whom this post was about as soon as you saw the purple heart emoji. It's about JR. 😌

Specifically, another literary parallel as to why the JR route is called the 'JR' route.

There is a hint in one of the songs on their playlist that is a Romeo and Juliette theme because there are some parallels with that tragedy and the route in TFS. So far in Books One and Two, you've seen glim...

This is hinted at during Mal's RO excursion and will be something that can come up in Book Two, but I will tease you all anyway.

Question: "To all of the ROs: Do you believe in love at first sight? Soul mates?"

Answer:

There is a high chance that your MC has watched (er, tolerated? Binged?) The Titanic or The Notebook at least once with B, who does 'believe' in both ideas. However, they view these things as happening to other people or stuff that's meant to be in movies, a nice ideal. They would need to experience this ki...
