Buying a sequel book as an A-mancer is like being a bumblebee throwing yourself at a glass window pane trying to fly through like "this time. this time. this time"

something something rebecca can't stand to look at amelia's face for too long because of the coldness and detachment she sees in her eyes, rook's eyes. he never looked at her with anything but love.
something something rebecca can't stand to hear amelia talk for too long because sometimes she'll say something brave and admirable, and it's like rook is speaking to rebecca through her. it's too much to bear.

Quick question for people's twc detectives: in what ways have they changed for the better after meeting and joining ub? And have some aspects of them changed for the worse?👀

insert joke abt glutton for punishment etc etc but truly i am that dude who reaches the end of every wayhaven book like waow...detective/A have come so far 🥰....
#something i think sera is very good at as a writer is introducing obstacles to romantic progression which feel like natural building blocks#introduced earlier and inherent characteristics to the respective RO#without the actual progression of the romance arc feeling stalled and static#unfortunately i AM a bit of snob abt the view that A's arc is going in circles#like for one. the primary hallmark trope associated with this route is the will they won't they back and forth tug#that's like. what the route revolves around and what distinguishes it from the others#(N is the romantic fairytale scared of failing this expectation and being rejected if truly known)#(F is the friends to lovers arc where the confict is primarily external to F themself but they are dogged by a fear of loss)#(M is the route where the RO only has context for FWB - regardless of if your detective is also doing this! - and thus has no lens to#really understand and identify falling in love for the first time)#A has like. progressed a shocking amount since Book 1. like everytime i reread i kind of get jolted remembering what the starting point is#you've gone from complete denial of attraction (both internally and externally to other characters)#-> denial of attraction externally but not internally (also warming a lot more to the detective openly)#-> acknowledgement of attraction fully that snowballs into a lot more open physical/verbal affection until you hit the roadblock of#'if i lost you i can only imagine a repeat of agonising loss' <- a formative experience of which A STILL hasn't moved on from or truly#allowed themselves to grieve and move past the survivor's guilt of#to then book 4 where its like. okay but what if you literally have to confront the reality of inevitable loss hurting you regardless of how#openly you attach yourself to the detective and also you feel directly responsible for because shouldering guilt is the only coping#mechanism youve entrenched yourself into since losing your family a 1000 years ago#and that's just a very basic read of the romamtic arc. A's arc also got shit like. trying to disassociate from the thing you hold#responsible for the death of said family. and in doing so simply refuse to recognise its continued existence within yourself#(arrogance - emotion etc etc) + everything going on w the monster motif#sorry i am insane about the vampire romance series#the wayhaven chronicles#tunes talks wayhaven

I’m pretty sure someone (@wayhavenots I think) has already talked about this but I think Wayhaven would have had more of a punch if the detective was an investigative journalist instead. The Bobby drama would be crazy, the guilt of having to hide this huge secret when your job is literally to uncover secrets, plus, you can just be nosy as hell instead of being a cop. I am seeing no downsides to this.

It's done! Attempt number two at book making is complete! It's still just Ethan's Wayhaven Book 1 run. I did a big overhaul of the typeset compared to the first one, which I was trying to make small to minimize the page count. This came out about 130 pages longer and the text seems to breathe much better now. I also added a couple of basic graphics, a moon in the chapter headings and little moons as section headings. I used variegated red embroidery thread for sewing the signatures for just a pop of ominous color between the pages. It is a game about vampires after all.
Working with paper instead of cloth for the cover was a mixed bag. It looks gorgeous in a way I couldn't do with cloth but it was harder to get just right and I'm not sure it will hold up the best long term. But as a second attempt, that's ok. I tried new things and learned new things this one which was the goal and overall I think it's a more attractive finished product, or at least more visually interesting.
The breakdown on mistakes is under the cut. It's mostly for my benefit so I can remember later but please learn from my learning if you would like!
First off here's a comparison of my first and second attempts.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The paper I used for the first wasn't exactly 8.5x11 as noted before and I think it was even narrower than I realized before I tried to trim the pages. It is a significantly shorter book! Also the typeset differences. I'm really happy with how the new one came out.
Mistakes and improvement for the future.
Paper, Paper, Paper - I didn't even attempt to use interesting paper for this, just regular printer paper. Not needing to worry about trimming was so nice. I bought 9x12 sketch paper thinking it would fit in my printer, it did not, and I wasn't going to trim every single page to size so I have that now in my crafting pile. Maybe I'll make some blank journals with it. I do like the slightly off white color and heavier weight of the paper I used the first time and if I put in a fancy paper order I'll take that into consideration.
Paper: Part 2 - I want the scrapbook paper I have to be heavier and the cardstock to be lighter. Once I put glue on the paper it was so hard to work with because it wanted to wrinkle but also felt like it might tear if I tried to smooth it too much or reposition it. I ended up backing the piece on the front cover with a piece of printer paper and that seemed to help.
Mull - I've been using cheesecloth. I didn't starch it last time so I tried that this time but also saw something about putting glue over the whole piece of mull first then attaching it instead of holding it over the spine and dabbing/brushing glue on top. Bad choice. The mull is a mess and it isn't flat on spine, it was weird and stiff and there's slight gaps in between signatures as a result. I couldn't rip it off though so it is what it is. Won't be doing that again in the future though. Minus the mull issue I was really happy with the textblock though.
Endpapers - Again fighting the thinner craft paper. I should have sewn these on but I didn't. However I couldn't add them later because of the mull issue once I realized that so they are fully glued to the first page for added strength instead of being tipped on. Making them then and sewing them on takes more time but might be the better route to go in the future.
Gluing - I feeling like have terrible gluing technique. Things feel too wet but then if I use less or add some water for easier brushing on it doesn't stick as well. I think this is just a practice thing but considering how much gluing there is, it is a little frustrating.
Labels - Tried that for the first time with paper. Not sure how I feel about it . I think it looks alright but mostly it was about the paper quality and durability. Story of this build.
The Casing In - It was not great.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The back is alright but I really messed up the front cover. I think I pushed it too far back into the hinge so the cover doesn't quite close all of the way and is why there's such a large fore edge wrap space. I also think I made my spine piece slightly too narrow so that didn't help either. Ah well. Warping could also be from needing to glue the extra backing paper to the cover paper first and it's just too much glue pull in one area with nothing to balance it.
She's done though and once again I'm carrying over lots good knowledge for the next one. If I saw it sitting on someone else's shelf and they told me they made it I would be super impressed so I should give myself that credit as well.

It is objectively more funny to think that M has multiples of the same clothes because they are the least irritating on their senses, BUT ALSO i cannot believe that M wouldn't dress up sometimes with their love for keeping up the "aesthetic".
Tl;dr: M's outfit must: 1. have an alternative vibe to it, 2. be comfortable and easy to move in, 3. cover most of the body.

Where's that one ask that says that if Unit Bravo had the opportunity to become human again, M and N would take it and A and F wouldn't?
Because this kinda aligns with that:

When you go to save Sanja with either N and M or A and F, these are the options that show up (respectively).
*this is the option that checks the people stat btw
