Do you collect the OG Monsters High Dolls? As in the 2009-2014 era of MH ghoulies?
oh no i don't sorry. I never really got into gen1 or gen2 monster high back then, like i tried to watch the series but it wasn't my cup of tea.
which is why i was surprised when i ended up actually liking gen3. (tho if it wasn't for frankie - i'd probs would've passed on the show)
#defo was much more of an ever after high fan !#asks#ottabox#tho its a shame cause the g1 dolls are hella cute#but it be hard if id try to start now - considering resellers make g1 dolls hella expensive

Tell me about your Detective(s)!!!
Their romances, bff, whether they are shy or bold?
(also. Gimme gimme some references. 🕵🏼)
I fear that you are about to start discovering that I am the most indecisive person on the planet and the fact that I ever made it past the very first decision in book 1 is a miracle itself
But thank you for asking!! because I also love to talk 😈
I currently have 3 detectives (kind of, two of them are *this* close to being sent back to my lil sandbox)
Rose (Rosie) Palmer:
Rose is my favorite and actually both my Nate/Mason detective (She was my first detective and I did Nate's route first, but when I started Mason's next I was like.............I don't want to make anyone new, I love her). In Nate's route, Mason is the bff and in Mason's, it's Nate lol I just love them too much. Despite being an only child, she's what I call the Big Sister Friend, because she'll "bully" you mercilessly then turn around and defend you within an inch of her life from anyone else who even thinks about hurting you. (as a big sister, I feel qualified to bestow this title upon her) Her top two professional skills are Science and Deduction. She's bold until someone (Mason) calls her bluff.
She's *mostly* the same in both routes, but somehow in Mason's, I never got a skill above 70 in book 2, so I assume that's why she kept getting the shit kicked out of her in book 3. She's definitely a people pleaser, "no I'm fine!" (screaming internally) type gal. So her relationship w/ Rebecca is like, right in the middle because she's like "yeah sure whatever" while clenching her teeth, just to avoid an argument. There's a lot of anger simmering just below the surface, but she doesn't want to take it out on anyone. And she's a lot like Adam in that she's going to (and wants to) be the decision maker, so when it all goes to hell, it's on her. She's going to worry about everyone else before herself and soon she is going to come apart at the seams. Overall, she has a strong sense of duty, cares a lot, and is funnier than me. Her true bestie is actually the legend, Vieno.
I don't have any good visual references of her yet because frankly this is the first time I've ever let my detectives exist outside of my own head, but please accept this offering of a song from my wayhaven playlist (update: oops just kidding now they're real and viewable)
Rose: "You First" by Paramore, "King" by Florence + The Machine
Nate x Rose: "Midnight Rain" by Taylor Swift, "Can't Take My Eyes off You" by Frankie Valli
Mason x Rosie: "Bleed Magic" by idkhow, "Work Song" by Hozier (bonus: "Cruel Summer" by Taylor Swift)
ok moving on
My Adam detective got an actual non-generic name 3 seconds ago, because like I said, indecisive🫠
Eleanor Drake
Eleanor is SO lonely and bitter, I want to hug her. She's a "rebellious youth" detective because she spent her teen years trying to do increasingly outlandish things, just trying to get her mom to notice her and maybe even have to come home. And now she's in love with Adam and playing the worst game of "He loves me, he loves me not" of all time. She's pretty by the book these days, her highest stats are combat and people, and she didn't encourage Tina or Verda to search for the truth, so she's LONELY lonely by book 3. Her bff is Felix!! She needs someone to lean on and brighten up this miserable existence I have crafted for her.
Eleanor: "Motion Sickness" by Phoebe Bridgers, "Matilda" by Harry Styles
Adam x Eleanor: "Dancing With Our Hands Tied" by Taylor Swift, "Heaven, Iowa" by Fall Out Boy
Barbara (Barbie) Cooper
This is my newest Felix detective (I had another but we were not vibing). She is sunshine personified and her name is Barbie because I created her the same day of the Barbie trailer drop. Her top skills are People and Deduction, she's so bright and enthusiastic that Adam constantly feels like wearing his sunglasses around her, yet they're also besties. She's very good at playing mediator when clashing opinions arise. She's the type to do things properly right up until someone she loves is in trouble, and then she'll break all the rules without thought. She has a good relationship with Rebecca, but I kinda want to start destroying it with every secret Rebecca reveals..... She's also a WIP that may need to be reworked idk
Barbie: "Choreomania" by Florence + the Machine, "Last Hope" by Paramore
Felix x Barbie: "Shinunoga E-Wa" by Fujii Kaze, "She's so High" by Tal Bachman
Thank you again for asking!! I feel strangely sweaty about finally sharing my detectives out loud lmao
#ask#long post#I'm so sorry I just started rambling and I could've kept going but we'd be here all night#me reading my response: did I say everything or nothing? maybe I should add 5k more words just to make sure#I'm afraid to share my full twc playlist bc I do *not* have a very....obscure taste in music#I might go scouring picrew later to see if I can give these babes form#I don't have a LT detective yet bc I'm not emotionally prepared#twc detective#the wayhaven chronicles#twc#i could make a new nate detective too bc.........i think i like rose better with Mason 🤔#maybe ill flip a coin#ottabox#me rn: did i even answer the question i just started typing and blacked out

You are so threatening, like a DM when they say "Roll for perception. Ah. The room *seems* to be empty as you step inside. An overbearing sense of dread consumes you, but you see no threat."
I adore Fernweh, and I am slowly working my way through all the ROs. It's taking forever, because I'm trying to unravel the little secrets and symbolism you injected into everything! Sometimes I'll be like "...Nah, I'm sure that's a face value thing." But two minutes later I jot it down anyway because I don't trust you.
👀
So far my favorite playthrough has been with my MC Dahlia (devotion, love : betrayal, instability) who romances B and ignored all my klaxon bells to woo W.
Hello @ottabox,
I hope all is well with you! 💚
The preview of this ask in my notifs is still one I remember because it was just the first part of your sentence, so I was like: 👀 about the rest. (Then I kind of hoarded the ask like a dragon with treasure for a while.) Thank you so much for sending this in. I can't get over how you're jotting down notes while reading the routes to make connections; there really is symbolism/foreshadowing/wee baby plot threads that are more like ill-formed fuzzy worms in everything. It's going to bring me so much joy when you'll be able to connect more!
(Also, I support you not trusting me. I wouldn't either if I was reading TFS. 😏)
Oh, that's a very unique mix! Romancing B (the touchstone of familiarity the MC brings back with them) but then being pulled in by the W (an enigmatic stranger with a questionable aura). Your MC's name sounds beautiful, and I love the meanings behind it. They seem very fitting with this particular path. Thank you for your kindness along with taking the time to notice the foreshadowing and depth! :D
#asks#who do queue think you are?#i'm still like !!! when i learn readers either take notes or have a memo app for TFS; that's so cool! <3#fernweh saga

The Woman I Love (Madera Lavellan/Cremisius Aclassi)
A surprise fic for @ottabox! I was going through some of my older writing and found the other Mads x Krem fics and got a desire to write more for my favorite rarepair! <3 I hope this is good!
Cremisius Aclassi’s greatsword whistled as it cut through the air, finding the enemy without trouble. The Saarebas dropped in an instant, his head now separated from the rest of his body. Blood stained the ground, but the mercenary didn’t seem to notice. His focus was on the fight, on his next opponent, on keeping the enemy from getting the upper hand.
From his peripheral vision, Madera Lavellan, the former Herald of Andraste, disappear from sight, cloaking herself as she approached one of the Qunari fighters. Her sudden appearance startled the warrior and she plunged her daggers in his chest before he could act.
The Iron Bull’s hollers echoed in the space surrounding them, his weapon coming down on the heads of those who got in his way. When the last Qunari fell, the Bull’s Chargers gathered together. They had been beating back the last of the attempted Qunari invasion ever since the Inquisition was disbanded. This had been the final group in Ferelden and Krem hoped that the Chargers could at least rest for the time being. He had sores on his feet that weren’t going away anytime soon.
“That was fucking awesome!” Iron Bull clapped a hand on his back, nearly knocking him off of his feet. “What do you say, Krem? A drink to celebrate?”
Krem smiled at his boss, knowing that Bull would keep them up well into the night ‘celebrating’ and decided to pass. “Maybe later, Chief. I’ve got some things I have to do.”
Bull’s gaze found Madera. The tiny elven woman was cleaning the blood from her daggers as she supervised the throat cutters. He nodded and grunted his understanding. Patting Krem on the shoulder, the former Qunari spy left him to do whatever it was he needed to. Krem and Mads hadn’t spoken about her reunion with Solas. Her former lover had broken her heart and Krem had spent the last two years mending it. She had told him that she loved him. But with Solas, things could have changed.
Madera glanced up as he approached, her emerald eyes wide with surprise. “Krem? I thought you’d be celebrating with Bull and Rocky by now.”
With a smirk, he shrugged and pulled his helmet off. His hair was damp from sweat and without the helmet to keep it in place, the strands were now falling into his face. Madera reached out with her hand and brushed the hair out of his eyes.
“I was going to, but I had more important things to attend to.” Taking hold of the hand that was still suspended midair, he pressed a soft kiss to the inside of her wrist. Krem felt pride as blush crept onto her cheeks. He could still get a reaction. That was a good sign.
“Oh? And what would that be?” Madera’s fingers lightly traced his jaw before dropping back down to her daggers.
Krem watched as she sheathed them, trying her best to gain control over herself. He loved that about her. No matter what happened to her, no matter how embarrassing or sad, she found a way to smile and make those around her smile. It was a gift and Krem was thankful that she had chosen him to share her life with.
“Mads- we haven’t talked about the Exalted Council.” He didn’t want to mention the apostate, he disliked bringing her pain when it came to him, but he had to ask. “About Solas.”
“There isn’t much to talk about. Bull was there. I’m sure he told you.” She wouldn’t meet his eyes.
With a sigh, he put a finger under her chin and turned her face so that she would look at him. “Madera… please. Talk to me.”
She bit her lip as she processed what he was asking. Then she nodded, her choppy auburn locks bouncing with the movement. “It was… difficult. I admit it. It didn’t go as expected. There are things he said that I can’t even fathom. Things that he wants to do that I will never let come to pass. I may have to … to kill him.” Her wide eyes glanced up and Krem felt his heart break at the fear he saw there. “I don’t know if I can do that, Krem.”
He pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly as she came to grips with what the future may hold. She could lose Solas completely and while that would hurt her, she knew that if it meant sacrificing the apostate’s life to save the world, she’d do it in a heartbeat. Krem pressed a kiss to her hair, the familiar scent of elfroot greeting his nose. “I love you.”
She pulled away and smiled up at him although there were tears in her eyes. “I know. Without you, I don’t know how I would be able to handle this. You’ve always been there for me, Krem. As an ally, as a friend, and now, as the man I love. I don’t deserve you, but I’m grateful to have you.”
Krem wiped the tears as she gazed at him. “Permission to speak freely?”
She nodded.
A smile appeared on his face. “You are a liar, Your Worship.”
Shock crossed her face. “What?”
“There is no way you don’t deserve happiness and if I can bring that to you, than I’m honored to be the person who makes you happy.” Krem bent at the waist and pressed a kiss to her hand. As he met her eyes, he raised an eyebrow in challenge. “Care to dispute that, amatus?”
Madera giggled, taken aback by his words, but happy nonetheless. “Vhenan, do you always talk to your boss in that tone?”
Krem laughed. Wrapping an arm around her shoulders, he pulled her close and proceeded to walk towards the camp where their friends waited. “Didn’t you hear? You aren’t my boss anymore.”
“Ah, yes, I’m just the-”
“The woman I love,” he continued, finishing the sentence before she could. He leaned down and kissed her. The feel of her soft lips upon his had always been his favorite thing and he couldn’t imagine a day where it wasn’t.

My main SS, Cal, was very much in love and happy with Nate, but she was kind of bored with their relationship, cause he was super vanilla in bed and he was appalled when she asked if he'd like to do something more adventurous.
Damn it Nate, it’s just a grapefruit....
