Hi Returning Visitors,

I hope you're doing well.

It's time to dive deeper into Book Two's story. 👀

(As always, I selected a cat GIF that relates to this drop's content! This one has a cat lounging on top of a cardboard box before lazily rolling over and accidentally falling inside. The cat is fine, probably enjoying the dark confines of the box—mine does.)

Many scenes in this section link to your choices and romance route. 💞

That means a S-mancer will get a different collection of scenes than a J-mancer, although your choices with Mal and the ??? add more variance into these moments too.

I encourage replaying with new choices to best explore it!

You might remember I said I was going to remake our Returning Visitor character build. Well, I think I figured out a way to code this drop to keep your saves intact or at least most of them! You'll notice that there will be pages that ask you about choices from the first book (e.g., do your MC's eyes resemble their grandfather's?). These won't be present in Book Two, but I needed to pose them in our alpha to set variables for the content you'll be reading soon. 

You need to come across this message:

NOTE: If you're reading this, that's good!

If you don't, then please reload to an earlier save, such as one in the graveyard. You'll need to replay the cabin section, which won't take too long and might lull you into a false sense of security 👀, before getting into what I added. All of this is to hopefully spare seasoned patrons from a hard restart; however, next time, we will have to have one because ~new variables~.

Today's drop [35k words] for seasoned patrons features something deeply unsettling. Oh joy! 🥰

I won't be teasing its content this time around, but I hope you have fun, no matter the trauma.

✨ I will be direct messaging you on Patreon with the link and password information, so I request your patience, please, as I send out these messages when/if the benefit is available to you.✨

I'm grateful for your support/encouragement, and I'm eager to show you what I've been able to create for TFS. 🌲

Thank you! 💚

AELSA HOLY COW I finally had time to read this update and I am distraught! I'm so interested in the questionable interest!!! Being biddable is totally Rosalind's style! BUT I DON'T WANT TO HURT REAL R WHAT AM I GOING TO DOOOOOOOOO....

what's ???'s ring size? asking for a friend

ok, I know it's not actually Halloween evening, but it is Halloween and I played through nightmares ???Ruby and then SoloMal (let down Becca) and soloMal (let down Jane). WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW, ??? so vicious when an RO is let down and so utterly wrong as Becca. The wrongness just continues if you (ahem) take their hand. The candle, the spriggan, all the choices (ouch if you joke about burning with the spriggan). I am blown away by how responsive the nightmare is to *so many* previous choices we've made. And I'm looking at the jade candle! I am so looking at the significance of jade around the world! I can't wait to explore the other routes, I am hyped, I am going insane, I can't wait to see ???Sofia and ???Reese&Jane. ??? you can have ONE of my characters, just one, OKAY. HANDS OFF THE REST!!!

Firstly: This was delightfully creepy. I loved every minute of it. Perfect for Halloween! Thank you very much! Secondly: R! No Smoking! I don't care if you are Not-R. No Smoking! 😤 Thridly: Oh! J's letters. I need to go lie down for awhile and cry now. 😭

I'm trying so hard to be normal about ??? but. Hm. They (It?) are (is???) just so sexy. Chosen... for what? Are we talking ritual sacrifice or arranged marriage (both? 🤭). I love how ??? tries to imitate MC's RO but it just comes across as uncanny because it is not, in fact, human (or hasn't been in a long time?). And honestly, mcs who vibe with that are so valid. It's the allure of the incomprehensible! Anyway, I have so many theories regarding ???'s origin (I think they were just... a person until /something/ happened or was done to them but then I can't stop thinking about the mines and what might have been unearthed down there), and ugh. So many theories. I shall be patient and collect clues in the meantime.

Teo!

I started with my S-mancer and then went with my Mal-mancer, who was closest to B, and HOLY CREEPY B BATMAN. Why does ??? have to make B so creepy? S was off-putting, but B is a whole other level.

BeeZ. Alright, BeeZ are making me cry. The photo event where they hang out together & Zarina tells Beckett how he is SO much more than he gives himself credit for? I died, I cried, I sobbed. Beautiful. Then Beckett's hand on her thigh when he checks out the tree stumps & Zarina just zooms in on his lips? Perfect. I gotta be so real, Zar's heart skipped a beat there. Beckett may be serious, but Zar's just zoning out at that casual and careful touch on her THIGH; she wants to smooch him so bad. THE NIGHTAMRE SECTION THO OH MY FUCKING GOD. B's nightmare sections are /horrifying/. This one was THE most unsettling ones because of how /gruesome/ it became with Z's decisions. The "it'll hurt your pride" was such a slap to Z and I LOVED it. ??? is downright sadistic and it made Z react so strongly in anger because HOW DARE YOU HURT B'S BODY! Also the reminder of how they kissed and B's lips? Zar's so unhappy, she is glaring at ??? so hard. Zarina got so angry because she couldn't stop ??? from doing what it did to B's body. The gore aspects were incredibly written too, Aelsa. The horror drove me insane. Amazing. Gorgeous. Incredible. ReeZ. I gotta say, this felt so up Zarina's core in some instances that I had to stop for a second. ???!Reese is so hot wtf. The whole fight off between them was so cool. The mockery, the power, the reminders, the banter. ReeZ route here is peak ??? and Zarina divorce arc (xD). I love how, unlike B's route, Zar here is more determined to tell ??? to /watch/ her deny it because of how he chose to word things with Reese's face. Like 'yeah? bet'; also the 'masochist' comment like damn ??? u didnt need to show ur fantasies & how u want her to beg damn (/j). What drove me insane about are the discussion about the cage & if she 'prefers gold'. Zarina's name means 'golden/gold' & I WAS THAT LEONARDO POINTING MEME MY SILLY THOUGHTS BEING SILLY. Not only that but it speaks of possessiveness & my brain went 'beastification of Zarina' which for me is so fun for personal reasons hehe just for me <3 ALSO ARGHH ???REESE SMOKING AND SHOWING EXPENSIVE LIGHTER IM BARKING SO LOUDLY IM SO SORRY. zarina's a smoker who tries to stop but Fernweh about to make her want to smoke again. It was incredible. It fit so well. I just think about how awesome it was for my little canon in my head & how this was a callout to her smoking habits & it's like ???Reese mimicked her own behaviors outside of Fernweh (me with her story in my head). Like ??? mocks her further. Incredible. 10/10. Extra hot thank you.

Hello, hello, I am back. The yapper is back, tell your friend the yapper's back~! I'll separate this comment in 3 parts: general, BeeZ, and ReeZ because ADHD and I need Organization. Since I was gone for like 1 month, I'll cover everything from previous update + this one. Alexa, turn on "Hellfire" by Barns Courtney for peak Zarina's fire freak. GENERAL. The suspense, the horror, the mystery, and the sense of dread in these nightmare sequences? Incredible. I loved the language you used to describe what's going on. It gave me goosebumps and I genuinely felt scared and anxious in this nightmare. I'll mention here additionally that I loved how the way spriggan's death affects the environment changes & how it gave different scenes. I also played through Mal's route with my other OC Claire/Clara and GOD DAMN AELSA YOU POPPED OFF HOLY SHIT I SCREAMED HOLY SMOKES MY HEART I WAS NOT PREPARED BUT IT WAS SO O///O DAYUM. Mal pls one chance... (Sadly, Miss Zarina isn't getting close to Mal; their dominant energies clash too hard lol). I enjoyed how we can bring up how A's situation is with James. The diversity of choices is incredible, but gosh my heart hurts for A. I also cannot stop screaming about the doppel's appearance. The way the chained gate is? The visceral horror that shoots through MC? I need to know the tragedies, I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT OUR DOPPEL. The nightmare section was incredible because I'm claustrophobic so it felt so vividly how Zar felt climbing through it. She may power through it but I would cry. It was incredibly written & THE CANDLE PLEASE!! THE CANDLE!!! DOES IT HAVE GRANDPA'S SOUL?! I ALSO THANK YOU FOR THE 'LET IT /DEVOUR/ YOU' OPTION. IT IS SO ZARINA CORE HOLY SHIT. AND THE LETTERS. THE LETTERS FROM J. ARGHHH.

Saving this and reading it Halloween night (unless I get impatient 🤣)
