[ex1ledbrethren]

odd question but whats all the main character’s favorite colours in a lamb in the woods ꒦ິ^꒦ິ

glenn’s is purple, max’s is green, and sami’s is orange :)

[ex1ledbrethren]

How would Max react if he got a kid who’s already been SAed?

he’d be kind of disappointed, as long as they were a virgin still he’d treat them no different, but if they weren’t then he’d see no reason to wait to escalate things, like he does for Sami and Glenn

What does Sabel think of each of Toju's family members?

Also, take care of yourself and rest ❣️

Ishra - Sabel feels like he was a bit of a pushover with raising Toju, but doesn't blame him, Toju being the only Omega in a family of Alphas, he would expect nothing less than for them to baby him. Sabel sees eye-to-eye with Ishra and understands he just wants the best for him, they're on the same page with most things, and he respects him.

Detlev - Sabel feels mostly indifferent toward Detlev, though they have a friendly rapport since they've competed against one another in tournaments. he also thinks Detlev is a big softy and definitely enabled Toju's behaviour, though not nearly as much as Corvus

Corvus - Sabel does not like Corvus. He thinks Corvus set Toju up for failure, and is the reason Toju was so set on the fact he'd never have to mate, seeing Corvus as having perpetuated a notion that was just objectively untrue from the very start, and having done so for selfish reasons. He also believes that Toju and Corvus bonded in a manner that was more than just siblings, and Corvus was essentially tricking Toju into believing it was more innocent than it was. He respects Corvus for not having mated with/"defiled" him when Toju sought him out while in heat, but he still doesn't necessarily trust him with Toju, and he is jealous of their closeness, and sees it as manipulation on Corvus' part, mostly because of his own belief that an Alpha and Omega that arent related by blood could never maintain such a close relationship without there being some ulterior motive

bonus: Tobias, just cause - Sabel likes Tobias, and he thinks he's a good role model for Toju, even if they're similar in age. Sabel appreciates that Tobias is both mild-mannered, and respectful of Alphas, while maintaining a confident demeanour. He only wished some of that had rubbed off more on Toju, but ultimately, he approves of their friendship

i am officially an employed king, things are looking up 😌

in other news! bbf chapter is done, it just needs to be proofread and touched up some, and the next altts chapter is being worked on, i've also connected some of the dots for the ending and have been doing a lot of work on the outline so i'm feeling pretty confident in it again :)

will let y'all know when im close to posting anything <33 sorry the waits have been pretty long recently, wish i could pump out content like i used to, but the brain just isn't doin it at the moment

[ex1ledbrethren]

I’m sorry. But first xan I say:

What is it with people being so rude. Can you not?? Exiled has worked tirelessly to give us what we have rn and surely you all understand that they are a human being?? They can’t just pop out a new chapter 24/7. Have some patience. Exiled is a talented artist and so takes time to make sure what is produced is always perfection (which it always is). Have some decency people. Please.

Anyway. Little rant over sorry. But I have a question about Max. Does he have any disorders or mental health conditions that “make him” do what he does? (This is in no way justifying the vile man) I’m just curious.

😭😭😭 thank you, you're very kind, its okay though, don't worry. people being rude doesn't really bother me all that much cause i know the majority of readers are just patiently waiting, which i appreciate 10x more

to answer your question: yes, he does, but i will never name them most likely, as i wouldn't want to create stigma by attaching a diagnosis to such an awful person. though, his mental illness doesn't make him do the horrible things he does, it just makes him more impulsive, unstable, and lack empathy. max would still do these things regardless, he'd just do it differently

[ex1ledbrethren]

if i could just clone myself that would fix so many of my problems tbh

[ex1ledbrethren]

do you think you’re gonna post another chapter of ALTTS anytime soon because you did say you would post one this month? Or were you just getting everyone’s hopes up?

yes i just purposefully haven't finished it because i love disappointing people, and myself, you caught me

[ex1ledbrethren]

Sorry to be that person but what is CSEM?

all good, it stands for Child Sexual Exploitation Material, also known as CP but that's an outdated term as it implies child pornography is a legitimate category of porn

[ex1ledbrethren]

MAX WANTS TO FUCK HIS DAUGHTER????? but he was always like " noo I'd never do anything bad to my bbg 🥺🥺 "

yep. in the first book, i mention that he diverted the urges he had to sexually abuse Isabelle by watching CSEM

While Max didn't lie, he would never do those things to Isabelle (it's one of the very few things he's incapable of justifying to himself) he still had those urges toward her

[ex1ledbrethren]

If Max kidnaps a child with psychopathic traits, how would he make his dynamic work? Would he resort to brute force and intimidation, or would try to reason with them? Think could be an interesting dynamic #notreallyforthekiddoprobably

that would definitely be an interesting dynamic. max would pick up on the manipulation tactics pretty easily, he'd see a lot of himself in the kid, and it would intrigue him to a degree. he'd probably have a lot of fun with them tbh... he'd have to use a fine mix of mind games and physical force

[ex1ledbrethren]

What does Max really think about LGBT people? Because he seems open to talking about these things, but at the same time, he looks like he's going to vote for Trump. Bro this mann 😭😭😭

He just does not care really, he sees his beliefs as being the objective truth, but he doesn't moralize them, so its easy to set them aside when it benefits him. more times than not- especially when it comes to strangers- he understands he benefits more from just going along with whatever strong belief the other person holds, even if he disagrees

eg. Max will always see Sami as a girl, but he's smart enough to never tell Sami that

Max is also the kind of guy who wouldn't vote for trump, but not because he's a giant racist pos, but because he's bankrupted 6 companies and even max knows better than to vote for a guy capable of bankrupting casinos lmao

[ex1ledbrethren]

How progressive is Corvus? Like he believes that omegas and alphas are equal, what about other aspects of social and political life? Is he against monarchy?

How much power does an alpha have over their beta mate?

Ps god, i still hope toji is infertile (yk like an idiot)

Tysm!

as progressive and open-minded as Corvus is, the only thing he believes Omegas should be limited from is combat. he wouldn't be supportive of Omegas being in the military, at least not in a position where they would be in active combat. otherwise he believes Omegas should have the same rights as Alphas, and it should be their right to make those decisions.

Corvus doesnt care too much about the monarch, either, but he is also from a pretty privileged perspective, being the son of a duke, he doesnt really understand much about the life of a peasant, and he's not that politically aware to outright hate a system he ultimately benefits from. he's ignorant in that regard

an Alpha holds no power over a Beta other than them just being naturally physically superior (though a trained Beta vs untrained Alpha could outmatch the Alpha)

LMAO don't worry, he's also hoping that. you're welcome! thank you for your interesting questions :) i enjoyed them

[ex1ledbrethren]

Is Toju gonna have some type of omega-mother/father figure? Idk why it started to exist in my mind, but I thought about it for a while

Like if he couldn't get a better alpha father, than maybe getting an independent omega imp typa parent will be great for him 💀 (Wanted to at least make a happier scenario in my head for him, because he's my poor boy #Tojuplsdontunaliveurselfbeforethestoryends) (well, and more wild slay omegas uknow)

mmm, kind of but not really? nothing permanent anyway, but he does end up in situations that would certainly foster that kind of nurturing/compassionate relationship he needs. i can't disclose too much information surrounding those events, however, would be a pretty big spoiler
