hello again, i come back here bc for some reason it's less scary than commenting on ao3 LMAO NEW SCAR LORE DROPPED WHO ELSE CHEERED!! of course he's an elf, it makes so much sense now ahhh. but also he's half human........ i feel so bad for him, he knew this whole time that his own magic limitations will kill him eventually :( and that's why he doesn't want people to get close to him because he doesn't want them to hurt when he's gone, i'm not crying at all . he's such a good character oh my goddd i seriously love him so bad. also grian not sleeping for three days straight and looking at his glyph the whole time:( he cares abt scar so much man. that scene where he's talking to grian at the end made me emotional, he's never really had someone care about him him this much until grian appeared in his life :( sorry this is just a scar love letter tbh lmaoo, i would take a bullet (or in this case a dagger) for him the way you write all the fantasy lore and the little details makes me insane btw, all the stuff about how magic works and how different magical creatures act is so interesting to read :D AND YAYYY MUMBO AND GRIAN KISSED!! (while scar was literally dying) gay people win hehe. they are so soft with each other... mumbo casually calling grian "love" is so cute oml i care about them a lot<33 mumbo being like "yeah i don't care about scar at all" and then doing his best to save scar's life after he almost got killed, he's actually a softie on the inside . and scar and mumbo decided to start over, gay people win again!! it made me sad when mumbo said they hate each other and scar got all quiet and told him he doesn't hate him, mumbo doesn't know that scar loves him ahhh. i hope they get some boy best friend bonding time soon, they deserve it hehe also seeing that you updated the series made me so happy, i'm infected with the brainrot now i have to think about them All the time. as always i'm looking forward to next updates and i hope you're doing well and not overworking yourself too much!! <3

Ha, I can understand that, commenting on AO3 makes me so anxious like jkgfdjk

NEW SCAR LORE NEW SCAR LORE let me tell you every time I write Scar Lore(TM) I get so happy because I love writing about him <3 He's my boyy <3 Haha I tried so hard to drop hints that he isn't just human without outright saying "yeah mans ain't human" and the closest I came to that was Grian actually asking Mumbo "Is Scar human?" cuz Grian is very perceptive (*cough cough*) and something didn't add up for him lol- And yep, he knew this whole time poor boyo... Hahaha now I wonder where he got the idea that it's better to have never loved at all than to love and lose... >:) Grian has lost so much he can't take losing someone else and he's gonna feel guilt about this for the rest of his life </3 hahaa Scar may have had some people in the past he could talk to... buuut teenagers are not the best about things like this, and their coping mechanisms mayy have had a rather negative effect on Scar, in the long run... hehe but that's a story for the future~ AND SAME I would die for this man (which is how you know I am absolutely giving him a happy ending, also because I hate bad endings)

Hhh thank you~ I'm one of those "if they're all the same then what's the point" writers so it's important to me that they all act differently <3 I mean come on what's the fun of writing about an Avian, a half-Elf and a Vampire if I can't even be like "cultural differences my beloved <3" and also throwing (future) boyfriends into the deep end of Elven culture lmao let me tell you how soft I am about the first time Scar lets Grian play with/brush his hair-

I am so feral when people call their S/O "love," it's one of the endearments my ex gf used (and we're still on great terms so the endearment isn't ruined for me and it still makes me so soft haa <3) and I definitely knew I wanted Mumbo to use it hjfgdskjfdsj <3 ALSO yes first kiss on the low after a stress-filled adrenaline-rushed terrifying moment, always the best <3 haha

Mumbo's the Vampire who mourned a bird he hadn't even known existed three seconds ago, there is no way that man wouldn't have done whatever he could to save Scar <3 B/c he might not like Scar at this point but Scar certainly hasn't done anything worth dying over so- AND YEAH STARTING OVER it's literally the only way these two can go forward cuz their relationship is already negative ten steps back, Scar why <3 Oh and yes I cackled deviously as I wrote that Mumbo: I know we hate each other but Scar, who literally has a massive crush on Mumbo, big enough that Grian picked up on it just from brief mentions of Mumbo: Excuse me what But also Grian's feeling guilty about it u_u Like "oh I'm a terrible friend" hjfdskjfds but as we find out eventually Scar is not only oblivious but he doesn't have a jealous bone in his body... Meanwhile Grian and Mumbo are both very jealous people hjfgdsjk which will be fun in the future when Scar has absolutely zero awareness about people flirting with him, I freaking love this oblivious half-Elf man- Since deciding to post the story this way, rather than all at once (which, with how vastly different in tone/conflict some of these sections are, is I think a good thing-) I have been writing so many bonding scenes for them because I need them in my life <3 It takes a bit for them to actually get past the old habits but they're gonna try dangit <3

No worries! I'm not overworking myself, writing is a passion of mine and writing is one of my favorite things to do during my breaks/before and after work, so <3 Only thing I have to watch out for is my eyes hjfdsjk <3 Thank you so much, I'm really happy you're enjoying this story! They live in my head rent free <3 I'm having so much fun writing it, and I love to hear any brainrot or theories/predictions or anything you want to share <3 I'll try to resist giving out too many spoilers~
