Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #3: Seven Deadly Sins πŸ”₯ (πŸŒ²πŸ‚) [Part 1]

Hi Evergreen and Hickory Patrons!

Here's our long-awaited ramble on the Seven Deadly Sins, although I also included a historical one that was culled from the mainstream listing. I just think it's neat! (To me, old-school acedia differs from our modern sloth.)

 

We'll be pairing up cardinal sins with our beloveds. Perhaps, there will be a post on the lesser known virtues in the future...

A Flurry of Feelings (Beckett Version)

[Alternate Text: A close-up on a snowflake that shows its beautifully intricate shape. It's kept in focus while the surroundings are left hazy, possibly suggesting a forest in winter. The title 'A Flurry of Feelings' is in simple white font that matches some of the ice crystals that aren't as see-through as the snowflake itself.]

Extended Progress Update: 20 February 2025

Hi Returning Visitors,

Key highlights of this update and reminders:

  • It seems we've found a new synergy between the two websites along with our new alpha hosting system being a definite improvement!

  • Marjorie's section has only grown thanks to how I added more variance in my simultaneous branching, but we'll get into why in a moment. πŸ‘€

  • Working on Patreon content earlier than usual to then buckle down and finish this chapter sometime next mont...

Let me provide context on just one of many character exchanges that may come up during the Corvin family dinner: Should pineapple ever be on pizza? You'll be wanting to read this light-hearted scene considering everything else that might go down while on Corvin land. >.>

Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #1: Mal Tried πŸ’”

The art of romance takes on many forms that often depend on the person and whom they're trying to woo! πŸ’ž

One's love language, personality, life outlook, dating history (trauma), and more can impact how they show their interest, if they even choose to in the first place. We're going to focus on none other than Fernweh's enigmatic server. Whether or not they're a…

Hello Returning Visitors!

I hope you're doing well. πŸ’š

I have a feeling many of you may still be exploring Fernweh, but it's time to get into next month's content!

Before that, our epic patron has implemented a fix for that rare error message that popped up for a few of you! Initial testing has shown that the message about a chapter file being 'empty' isn't popping up. Even if it does reappear, a page ref...

Author's View: Visiting Marjorie 🌻

Hi Hickory Patrons! πŸ‚

I've been eagerly awaiting sharing this post with you since it relates to a key moment in Book Two: visiting Marjorie with your beloved(s). I'll be walking a fine line with spoilers, but this post is primarily about the location, especially its significance and how it ties into the second book. Fernweh has an unnerving tendency to be simultaneously breathtaking and grim.

Before we go further, I wanted to share...
