Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #1: Outlandish Choices! 🍞🤪

While writing some of the more outlandish choice options in TFS, I'm like this:

'Snap, Crackle, Pup' (Silas)

[Alternate Text: An image of red and blue fireworks lighting up the pitch black night sky; there are also faint sparklers of gold too. 'Snap, Crackle, Pup!' acts as the title in a mostly blue font that has a lens flare effect as if it's reflecting the red and gold from the surrounding light show.]

Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #3: Respect is Earned 👀

In light of "Never Can Say Goodbye" publishing, which features J. Corvin's POV when the MC had to 'depart' Fernweh, I wanted to mention an important character detail.

Have any of you noticed that the Fernweh Gang refers to the TFS grandfather quite differently? This was further hinted at in a line from J's writing. It's below:

Author's View: Not-So-Secret Admirer (JR + Mal Jealousy!)

[Alternate Text: An image of a traditional retro diner's black and white checkered floor that focuses on some red leather barstools. It is similar to the Fernweh Diner's design aesthetic. The title 'Not-So-Secret Admirer' is in red font with a shadow.]

I mentioned this writing in the other Hicko...

Author's Choice: The Returning Visitor's Abilities 👀 (Part 1 of 3)

The three abilities are: Empathetic Impressions, Retrocognition, and Extrasensory Awareness. The Skills Page in the Stats suggests your MC has some innate, fledgling competency with all of them; however, there is one that's their primary skill. (It is the one that once freaked out the TFS grandfather during a winter celebration. 👻) It is also the ...

Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #2: A Funny, Incorrect TFS Quote

S, being righteous and considerate: If you kill a killer, the number of killers in the world stays the same.

R, without glancing up as they continue to pet their cat's tummy: Kill two. 😌
