I wish Forspoken had more stupid little side quests like Borderlands…. I’d love to deliver burgers to the people of Cipal or crash a Breakzombie wedding
😭 im so sad bcuz im working on a forspoken fic and im rlly hitting my stride and writing some really fun stuff. but its like. a *long* one and its gonna be at least another half year before it sees the light of due to that and
the circumstances.
i hope i can get some more freyden one shots out there in the mean time at least because i love them so much...
Just saw a comment on a reddit post that suggested Frey's shoes are still so well-kept because Cuff protects them extra well. We do see traces of his magic around her feet as she runs, after all.
Like... Frey has put a high personal value on those shoes. Another thing she "wears," just like Cuff. I wonder if he's actively doing that out of a sort of respect, or if it's more subconscious :)
I got inspired by @phoenixiancrystallist and @cruelfeline to draw a bit more Forspoken! This is another AU design that popped into my head where Susurrus was better contained and Frey was born and raised in Athia. She actually pulls his consciousness out of Cinta when she's born, but is still more naturally adapted to containing him.
In this setting she obviously learns more from her mother, gaining better swordfighting ability and the Junoon royal fashion.
She does eventually (willingly) reabsorb all of his pieces when she becomes an adult. Until then, the newly-freed Cinta helps the other Tantas manage their piece of Cuff, a nickname Frey now gives him after seeing his more artificial forms on her aunties :>
And yes Bird!Cuff is still around. Because of course he is.
Huh! Got new dialogue after resting at camp I've never heard before. Frey asked if Cuff could hear all the bugs and he's like "I hope that's what they are..."
So that's three bits of insect-related dialogue XD
