Hello! Fantastic game so far, I just finished binging what I could and had an absolute blast! However I was curious to know if you're aware that you really like using the word "Minstrations" in the NSFW scenes? Like a lot. And unfortunately I am barely literate most days and I don't know what you mean by that in that context. Would you be able to explain what you think that word means? Thanks!

✦゜ANSWERED: Please read my pinned post and have your age somewhere on your profile!! Once that's done, you're welcome to ask this question again!

I'd like to watch firsthand all the B-mancers viscerally SUFFER when their baby ducky turns out to no longer love them, all strings cut off. I'm only saying this because I am in love with that bee too, and I need that pain to be mutual for everyone, lol.

>.>

Anon, maybe there can be a Bee support group during Book Two since you all will be getting some varying degrees of angst, but...

Do you truly think B could no longer love you and completely close off? 🥺🐝

Instead, what if B loves you so much, that they try to tamp down their misgivings about the situation? They might feel guilty about even having a single negative thought about you or this imprisonment homecoming to Fernweh. It could be far easier for them to direct some 'hate' towards themself than to stop loving/caring about the MC. I can't really tease too much since it's best if you experience it in-game; there are many conflicting feelings.

I can say that I've already written sections that are a departure from the first book to begin introducing this dynamic for B-mancers. It isn't all angst; this is important for B's character arc/backstory, etc, so I'm sincerely excited for all Returning Visitors to explore this. 💚

(But especially those who are besties with B or romancing them.)

Thank you for your ask!

I can’t remember if someone else has talked about this, but i’ve got a brain worm so it’s gotta come out:

I cannot stop thinking about how impossibly cruel it is that Freya was banished to midgard; separated from her people, humans, and even her own twin. Freya, as a goddess of fertility, beauty, love, sex, war, gold & seiðr, as well as a leader of the Vanir, would have been surrounded by others. I can’t remember if this is canon or just my HC that i’ve adopted as actual canon, but Freya might have stolen away from her duties as a child to play among the flowers in Vanaheim. It would be a poetic tragedy if the activity she chose as a child became the bane of her adult life.

When Odin bound Freya with the roots of Yggdrasil he took everything from her. Everything that made Freya, Freya was taken away and locked up or given to someone else. She was [just] the Witch of the Woods when we met her, Odin took her entire identity. Her people believed she abandoned them for Asgard; that Freya, ever loyal to Vanaheim, chose the tyrants over her own. No one in Vanaheim knew she was trying to escape back home when Odin trapped her in Midgard.

By the time of the Journey, Freya’s been bound to Midgard for 120 years (per Atreus’ timeline in Lore & Legends.) Almost two whole lifetimes without anyone except Hildisvíni and Chaurli. Stripped of her home, her titles, her friends, her family and her ability to defend herself, Freya is nearly entirely alone and trapped in a realm that is not hers. That’s 120 years without human contact, without touching another person. The woman is literally touch starved, and for a goddess of love, fertility & war? That is devastating.

In Norse mythology, Freya gets half the souls that die in battle and, correct me if i’m wrong, she gets first pick of the souls too. and our Freya no longer has her warriors in Fólkvangr or her valkyries. She is alone. (Sans Chaurli & Hildisvíni, of course)

With her “warrior spirit” taken from her, Freya’s alone & defenseless sans magic to hide herself. She’s been almost neutered in a sense, a forced sterilization as punishment for having the audacity to leave. This leaves her no choice but to further isolate in order to protect herself. The desolation, begun by Odin when he corrupted the valkyries, means the only inhabitants of Midgard are essentially raiders and draugr.

And Freya cannot fight anything. Not even to defend herself.

The cruelty of this act cannot be understated.

If it turns out Ms Verner is, deep down, as adorable as her son, I'm gonna pull my hair out by its roots and flap it in the wind

Hi Anon,

Lol, her adorableness would have to be very deep down. 😌

I personally do hold a degree of affection for her.

That's because I know what she went through to become how she is, and I also outlined/created the TFS prequel that features a younger Ms. V as one of the key characters you interact (and can flirt? befriend? 👀) with. (I only give the barest hints about it here in my About since it will naturally need to come later in the series. I have a lot of love for it though; Fernweh's tangled roots run very deep.) 🌲

That being said, you will be getting some special insight on Ms. Verner in Book Two.

Best wishes! 💚

He'd never meant for this.

Lan Wangji - Hanguang-Jun, was a terribly difficult man to read. Zhìjiàn was terribly stubborn about putting in the effort. There are very few things in life he'll be stubborn over, he doesn't want to impose, he doesn't want to overstep, he doesn't even want to ask. But he tries to read. Beyond even what he might need to understand why whenever someone else recognizes him it doesn't end well.

They do double-takes and Zhìjiàn will disappear, haunted by the echoes of someone mumbling 'gosh, must have been a nightmare'. He'd never been equalled to something like that - he'd rather not be parallel to something at all.

But here Hanguang-Jun stands, so perfectly prim, so perfectly proper, and Zhìjiàn can only feel himself tense at the bow, at the assessment, the statement, really. A tightness to his lips, an ache not his own, but rather a mirror of whatever it is that has Hanguang-Jun stare the way he does.

So he tries to read... and then, sometimes... he tries to ask.

It'd be easier to continue pretending he isn't curious.

"Hanguang-Jun," Zhìjiàn starts, he'd love to explain, he never does anything without good reason, he doesn't break promises, he keeps his words whether or not anyone wants him to. But here, here he skips over an explanation as to his being late: because his being late is caused by enough thinking he feels somewhat confident in... asking.

"I have asked about you," a gentle voice, a light tilt to his head, Zhìjiàn always speaks to people as though they were... fragile... or he too much of a bad omen. "You are... well-respected. And important. Why do you spend your time waiting for me here? I'm no one."

A reflection. A death. A mourner. Wouldn't it be better to not see Zhìjiàn again? He's not whoever Lan Wangji sees and looks at when he thinks Zhìjiàn isn't trying to read.

thinking about sebastian squeezing me really tight and telling me things are gonna be ok. even if i'm really scared. he cradles my face and wipes my tears away with his thumbs and lets me lay on his chest. he's softly humming so i can focus on the sound of his voice as he strokes my hair and plays with the little pieces of glitter stuck between the strands. or he'll infodump about jazz just so my brain can try to focus on that instead of the things that are scaring me.

since i still cant sleep he plays something relaxing on my piano by my bed. but i still cant sleep bc i just wanna keep staring at him. and he's just shaking his head and smiling at me while playing the same lullaby over and over. "you're supposed to go to sleep." well maybe i dont wanna. maybe i wanna stare at my boyfriend's pretty face all night. hm?? what then, pretty boy??? you ever think of that?? you ever consider the fact that you're too beautiful for me to look away from??? you fool. put those baby blues away, they are dangerous.

but then he gets serious, holds my hand and kisses it, and repeats that everything is gonna turn out ok. he says it with such certainty. things will work out. and he stays with me just like that, holding my hand and whispering soothing words until i finally fall asleep.
