#Tina Poname

[seraphinitegames]

I gotta be honest with you, I keep rereading the demo so I can pick every option cause I’m so desperate for a content 😂 it’s so good and it’s got me frothing at the mouth for book 4!

But I do have a question. If we choose not to tell Tina or Verda about the supernatural does that mean that’s it and they’ll never find out? Or will they learn eventually?

I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I can't wait to get Chapter Two uploaded for the demo! There's a lot of juicy stuff in it that I want to scream about to people when you finally all know, hehe! :D

If you don't tell either of them, then they'll never find out. That's a route I wanted to put in there for people who want a story branch to more sort of…chill a bit from all the supernatural for their MC, lol!

So like their life is all supernatural now, but if your MC needs it, then they can still have some of their old 'normal' life left with Tina and Verda to fall onto when needed.

Thank you so much for the ask and lovely message! <3

Random TWC book 3 detective sketches. And yes, she can cook but can’t reach the damn top cabinet ergonomically made for 6ft tall vampires who don’t even need to cook shit for survival

Bonus since I really loved how she looked in the gown, I made a sketch comic that I’m contemplating if I should even finish it

I'm on book two, and for some reason I can only think of Tina looking like Ella Purnell

I love her (both Tina and Ella)

Playing book 4 and this scene is so cute. Zuri was so relieved that Tina was still excited to see her here🥹

Its making me think about this post, specifically how the Zuri/Tina dynamic contrasts the Zuri/Bobby dynamic despite being pretty fairly similar.

The lines were (are?) blurred between them too, but they had 'old married couple' vibes instead of 'weird lack of boundaries' vibes. Their relationship is as close as these two can get to A and N's dynamic considering that they're, well, not the same lol (they definitely don't have as many years on them, and I think Tina is more secure than any of them).

They've know each other since high school, with Tina making sure that she wasn't one of the many surface level friends Zuri had (and Zuri is a sucker for anything that makes her feel wanted, so there maybe possibly was a bit of a crush on her side, platonically or otherwise).

She's been there for the deterioration of Zuri and Rebecca's relationship, the bittersweet holidays and birthdays, the descent from people pleaser to performer (which Tina didn't question too much because 'hey, shes ultimately doing nice things for people right?'). Both of them witnessed the ups and downs of being flighty teenagers in a small town.

Then they went to university and everything went to shit, with Bobby playing a significant enough role in it for there to more obvious hostility between them (they were a trio of friends at some point). They ended up having a pretty big falling out after getting their honours degree, with them rekindling their friendship after they've both moved back to Wayhaven - which Tina did after her honours and Zuri did after dropping out of her masters.

So they've for sure seen each other at their best and their worst - and Tina knows Zuri's best could be a little better. Their relationship has definitely grown though, with Zuri being more vulnerable with her than she's been in ages from the moment they got back on track. Zuri doesn't have to dance around her. Being known by her isn't the anxiety inducing tightrope walk that it is with Bobby.

But she knows how much she hurt Tina and still carries that guilt with her, so she isn't as secure in their relationship as she could be. She's terrified of losing her.

So when she gets sucked into the supernatural world, it feels like there's a barrier between them again and it makes dealing with everything she finds out in book 1/2 feel heavier than it already was. Tina could feel it too, and it started stressing her out... until she figured out what it was. Then they were both able to breathe easier, despite being worried about how it would impact each other. Tina doesn't have all the details, but she knows enough to watch out for her a little (and enough to give her LI a good talking to about her concerns lol). Their relationship starts feeling like their adjusting to a new normal instead of growing apart.

But then Zuri becomes an Agent, and a new person enters the picture. And she's starting to feel like she's being replaced. Just a little. By someone Tina seems invested in in every way - in ways she couldn't be with her. Someone she can't bring herself to attempt to trust. Suddenly, that distance from before feels like nothing compared to the chasm between them now (this is Zuri’s perspective though, so it isn't the most reliable lol).

Seeing Tina light up like that helped assuage some of those fears though.

Ok seriously why we can't tell Tina that Pierson is an agent. Why? Just so we can have some cheap "drama" and "broken trust" in the next book? Is this another way of forcing the player to forgive Rebecca bc now we're in the "same" situation (which could have been easily avoided if the author gave us the option not to lie)? I seriously don't understand why should my MC, who already told Tina about the supernatural, choose to lie to her now. For at least one of my Detectives this is more OOC than suddenly accepting to ditch his old work and become an agent of the shady agency he doesn't trust (really why give us the option to express this distrust in all of the books only to throw it out of the window).

Maybe you my good people saw or headcanoned some good reasons as to why MC should be ok with all this shit, pls help me.

TINA VS MASON

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO

[sunshineandviolets]

the kind - hearted, gentle baker with a smile as sweet as the treats she serves & the bubbly, outgoing hopeless romantic who seems to be unaware that what she's looking for has been right in front of her this whole time...

Haley & Tina // The Wayhaven Chronicles

[thefirstcourtesan]

Tina knowing and Mason as bff on Adam’s route is the best. They are telling Adam what he needs to hear, especially M. “I’m not as cruel as you” hit hard.

[mycurrentobsessionis]

Detective: Tina, I let Bobby into my apartment at 3am and he kissed me. What do I do?! Tina: He is not the love of your life! He is literally just a guy! Hit him with your car!

[seraphinitegames]

Big ol' spoilers for Book 3:

First, my apologies if you have answered this before, I pay attention to the asks but also miss some.

Onto the question: Since MC is getting the promotion, and Tina is to become Wayhaven's detective, does that mean she'll also get the liason position? Or was that position just for MC because of their unique circumstances? OR is it secret spoilers for Book 4?

(P.S. Thank you so much for writing this series. It is absolutely my favorite if series, full stop.)

That was a unique circumstances position just for the MC, yes. It may be a position that Tina is offered at a later stage (if MC already told Tina about the supernatural), but that would be after Pierson has made their assessment of the risk Tina poses to the Agency and supernaturals, etc.

Thank you so much for the ask and lovely message! <3

the wayhaven chronicles: tina poname

her pretty features contrast against the heavy belt and boots she wears.

[avadmortain]

Oooh deba is so pretty! I've kind of been picturing Tina as looking like may calamawy in my head personally./lh 👀

Its been a while since I've read Wayhaven so I kind of forgot what tina looked like apart from the curly hair. But I was watching a TV series that had may calamawy in it at the time of reading wayhaven so that's probably why. 😅

she is!!! she gives me BIG tina vibes with this fun flirty easygoing aura she has going for her:

and i just had to look her up but omg she’s so pretty!! esp her curls gosh they’re beautiful <333
