Need I remind y'all that Nana Morri slowed down time in order to keep Fearne trapped for over 100years and that Relvin was the parent that stayed

Is anyone going to point out that both Imogen's Mum and Fearne's parents feared what being Ruidusborn meant for their daughters but took radically different approaches to fix it? Liliana decided to join Ludinus and aid in destroying many people's lives and potentially bring down the apocalypse, while Birdie and Ollie tried to stop whatever was going on with Ludinus and the Feywild, and figure out what the deal with the moon actually was. Like Fearne's parents aren't perfect and made some mistakes, but at least they aren't helping someone commit genocide. Liliana acting like it's the only way to save Imogen is certainly something, especially when contrasted with Birdie and Ollie.

“That's okay. That's okay. So, all right, so I have another dad. You have someone who helped give you life, yes. I don't know if I'd call them a father.”-Fearne/Birdie

"My Unseelie suitor, and sire of... my child, whispered of the import of our union. And when it was time... he brought me to a hilltop, in Exandria, to give birth to you under the red light of the moon Ruidis."

Fearne is Ruidis born.

Personal opinion but I don't think Nana Morri gets enough heat for magically stretching Fearne's time in the Feywild.

The hag turned 6 years of Fearne's life into a century and sure, her cold feelings towards Birdie and Ollie leaving are valid but WHO TURNED DOWN THE FUCKING THERMOSTAT???

[copperhawkthoughts]

Fearne’s mom’s backstory is basically the plot of a Dark Fae Booktok Romance trilogy

Book one, The Sorrowlord’s Delight, is the standard tropey “untameable, sexy young woman faun swept off feet by handsome, charismatic, evil misunderstood vampire werewolf demon prince fae” and ends with Birdie & Ollie’s climactic escape from the Sorrowlord’s keep to live happily ever after(???)

Book two, The Songbird’s Flight, starts off as the promised domestic bliss epilogue with Birdie & Ollie building a happy little nest, but quickly takes a turn when the heavily-pregnant Birdie is kidnapped by her ex and her labour is induced in a weird and frankly kind of unsettling, I-am-still-reading-a-romance,-right?, ritual involving evil mages and the evil, haunted red moon. The climax of this instalment is somehow now a heist(??) as Birdie & Ollie team up with Morri to save infant Fearne from her father’s clutches. The book ends as Birdie makes her dreadful, necessary bargain with a deeply grey Morri to keep Fearne safe.

Book three, Fate’s Daughter, is widely panned. The narrative’s frequent and seemingly non-linear timeskips in the first act prove confusing, as the story switches back and forth between scenes of Fearne growing up with Morri over the course of nearly a hundred years in the span of a couple chapters, while spending several more following Birdie & Ollie on the increasingly implausible run from the Unseelie Court over only half a dozen years. No one is sure how the math works, but it proves a convenient - if, again, unsettling - device for aging up the baby from the last book into the sexy ingenue the genre is more suited for. The latter half of the book focuses heavily on Fearne’s adventures, all but abandoning Birdie & Ollie, and ends on an unsatisfying note with several major plot threads hanging.

No one is really sure if or when book four is coming out.

Current Critical Role theory (ready to be wrong) is that Birdie either fucked or made a deal with a Devil. Fearne either has a demon daddy or is tied to a contract or both. Which explains why Nana Morri is so obsessed with her potential fates and basically stole her.
