Thinking of checking it out more in depth but I guess I wanted an opinion first since it seems to be so large

Would you recommend checking out the In Mortality AU?

absolutely!

you might want to ask @didasgomas abt a good starting point tho, bc theres a lot of plot threads out n about rn

[missr3n3]

Me: I'll just put that those two Tenebrae magically reached this place several counties away from Nox because they're just so silly and spooky. No need to make up yet another explanation for why

Also me: No. You're going to create a whole ass new building to explain why they are there and not in Nox so early in the timeline AND IT'S GOTTA BE NOW

Boom, White Cross Manor

you could've taken my approach n just gone "fuck it. demonic hellfire magic did it."

thats basically how i wrote chapter 14 lol

[missr3n3]

I will neither deny or confirm, but day 8 of October Practice will answer anon's question

anon has something to look forward to, then!

n im not bothered at all! im just a lil slow to respond bc sometimes my brain. feels like soup 💀

Dropping this here because otherwise I'm gonna be mentioning you way too much (And also because no one has had any reaction at just how many wives this fucko has had /j)

What can be said about the wives of Asher Appleford

The first wife, Helena, was a refined and modest beauty, but also wise beyond most, and beloved by her husband and all others, but such gift was also her downfall. By her intelligence she peacefully dominated the land, and by way of her intelligence, she was violently dominated with death.

The second one, Ursula, was a charming and affable woman, who came forth in sympathy to take her predecessor's position, and although she kept him happy, her husband always longed for his first beloved. Due to unthinking curiousity, she ended up locked, and in her tears and desperate actions, her husband found an excuse to get rid of her. Just as much as he longed for real love, she died longing for escape.

The third one, Rosanna, was barely seen and rarely liked. A very pious woman who had been cured by him, but who was vigilant about all those beneath her, for no one in the household worshipped as much as she did, and soon enough, her husband came to hate her. For all her intimate confessions to Heaven, she gave nothing in intimacy with her husband but the dead fruits of her salted and desolated body, and in search of an antidote, she met her end.

The fourth wife, Rebecca, lasted little, being the youngest and most beautiful, but also powerful and proud, fearing no person or threat, for she believed herself impenetrable to harm. Her pride was finally healed when a broken promise provoked her gruesome death. In wrath she would be consumed if any person dared touch her, and in someone else's wrath she met her demise.

The fifth wife, Erica, was of low birth, but too of admirable perseverance and honesty, and brought back happiness in her husband's life, despite her frail health. She was of great ambition, and wished to know her husband as much as he knew her, in hopes of building an even greater life together, but such ambition lead to tragedy, when she found out something she lacked preparation for, and was crippled for it. She lacked the knowledge to salvage herself, and died at another's lack of mercy.

The sixth bride, Adaline, spoke little, but was of serene and warm presence, and the most excellent companion in private. Her husband could always find peace in her, thus she lasted long as his lover, but her downfall came all the same. Though her death was delayed due to her desperate persuasion, it eventually came for her, for in all her anxiety, she might reveal what she saw. She was hidden away in shadows, and she would forever be overshadowed by the one after her.

The last bride was Eva, her husband's childhood friend and the only one to outlive him. Having known him since small, she suspected nothing of him and followed his only request in good faith. All she saw amazed her, and all she did captivated him in return. She was the light of his life, and the only one with whom he raised children, despite the fact they were not theirs. She was a woman of hope and kindness, and she held onto that hope even after her husband died.

(Let's see if this awakens anyone's theory senses /lh)

Redone cdta Iowa counties

With a few more details under the belt, I decided to redo the cdta made-up Iowa counties (a.k.a redo this post )

Do keep in mind that I took a lot of creative liberties when doing this one, so it may not be exactly to the point compared to how the creator imagines it!
