In honor of our favorite enigmatic server's birthday, I want to share some sweet and spicy facts about them. 👀
Oof, the W likes to pretend that they don't have much fluffiness to them, but let's disabuse them of that notion. I can only spare a few.
-They have almost messed up their prized motorcycle to check on an animal beside the road, and they do regularly look out for strays.

In honor of our favorite enigmatic server’s birthday, I decided to unravel just a bit of their mystery as a birthday gift more to you than to them. (Mal would probably prefer to use the word ‘expose’.) I altered my plan to address the A. Cor...

Hello Returning Visitors,
I have been eagerly awaiting this poll opening! These narrative influence types of polls can be a fun way for you all to leave a mark on the story that you will be able to recognize when reading it in the future. TFS's plot naturally has many layers of secrets and interlocking mysteries, but I have tried to set aside certain things that can change to let you all have some degree of impact.
I'm sure you have a guess about...

Answer:
"Neither," R immediately answers. "I even question the validity of calamari."

At the risk of sounding a little cheesy, I can say that B genuinely enjoys every opportunity to do something with the MC. (Okay, maybe not the more reckless adventures, but you know what I mean!) I don't want to infringe on any headcanons, since I'm sure many of you have some ideas about things your MC and B have done ...

Question: "In the same vein, how come the Verners are so important throughout the city?"
Answer:
You all will get to visit the Verner mansion in Book Two, which will help you begin piecing together why this family has such prominence within Fernweh. It's safe to say that they have a certain sway over the town. In Book One, we see the pressure on R along with their Verner heir privilege that characters such as Chief Bowers and Dr. ...

Question: "What is Fernweh's biggest architectural landmark?"
Answer: Hmm, the Verner mansion probably doesn't merit being called a landmark despite its incredible architecture; yes, do imagine R scoffing lightly in the background. They disagree with my assessment.

2023-04-23 12:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostQuestion: "How important is family for J, do they actively initiate family activities especially with A?"
Answer: The Corvins instill the belief that family is everything. (You all will be meeting J's parents in Book Two; this should provide more insight into what/who shaped J as a person.)
Because of this, J tends to put their family first even at the expense of what they themself want, although there have been some departures fr...
