CastleAudios FAQ!

Commonly asked questions about the channel and its characters

⚜️I want to listen to the channel but I don't know where to start?

I always recommend starting with Beth's playlist, then Claire, Genevieve, Rachelle, Celine then anyone else that catches your eye! Of course, if you want to hear everybody in order so you get the whole plot, check out my Glenwood playlist!

⚜️All your audios are labeled F4A, will you ever make F4M/F4F content?

I want my content to be enjoyed by any and everyone! Making F4A content is the easiest way for me to do that.

⚜️The trauma... The drama... The conflict... Why must you do this?

What good is a story without conflict? I do promise that I'm not just some angst train, I'll always strive to balance out the bad with the good. I'm a sucker for happy endings!

⚜️Who is CW?

CW (Or Camille W. as she is credited in my video descriptions) is my partner and the visual director for the channel! Almost all the character icons were created by her and she frequently does mini channel takeovers in order to share lore and (affectionately) bully me. We've also begun sharing her live reactions to my audios, so you can enjoy some content from her on the channel at well!

⚜️A lot of your listener characters have more than one name, why?

Listeners usually have about two names, one for their romantic partners and the name that others call or refer to them by

Claire's listener: Ranger / Hotshot

Beth's listener: Seer / Beautiful

Genevieve's listener: Knight / Sweetheart

Abby and Rose's shared listener: Open Wielder / Bud / Dear

Rachelle's listener: Mage / Doll

⚜️What does __Insert Listener Character__ look like/dress like/do/ and what's their backstory?

Unless specifically referenced to in the audios for the sake of plot, any information about any listener character is strictly up to your interpretation! I love hearing what you guys think for each of the listeners and all your theories so I wouldn't want to hinder that with one "right" interpretation. I won't be answering any submissions along the lines of this question.

⚜️I've seen you on Twitter/Tumblr/Tik Tok and now I'm scared to post...

Don't be! I made these social media pages so that I could interact and engage with my audience, so please don't be worried if I see your posts about the channel! I love all of it, truly. And don't worry, I wouldn't have come onto the internet if I wasn't fully prepared for what might be waiting there. (I know you have drafts. Post them, cowards (with love))

⚜️Can I make fanart/fanfiction/fanedits of your channel?

I'm gonna be honest, I cried when I first got this question. YES!! Please make whatever you like and please share it with me! You are all so creative and wonderful, I want to see your work! If you make any content that is inspired by my work or make anything within the Glenwood universe, I only ask that you credit me in the description.

⚜️Will Celine get her own listener/romantic route?

Celine will not be getting her own listener. She pops up sporadically in other character's playlists as well as the mega episodes where all the characters are bunched up into one audio. She will be interacting with multiple characters and listeners so she'll never be away for too long. She is a married woman and has a loving wife, so there won't be any romancing on Celine's part. That being said, she has two hands, so go wild.

⚜️Where is Glenwood located?

Glenwood is located on the Southern East coast. Not too specific, since I don’t wanna base it off of any real towns!

⚜️I've noticed hints to Abby/Rose/Wielder becoming a canon poly couple, is this true or should I not get my hopes up?

It is canon that the Library Trio will be endgame, we just need to be patient while we get there!

⚜️What is the Endax Chronicles?

The Endax Chronicles will be a prequel series to Glenwood starting in March 2023! It takes place nearly 600 years in the past and will deal with the war between Vampires and Blood Mages. It will be more of a High Fantasy series compared to Glenwood's contemporary style. We've been given hints to this conflict in Rachelle and Celine's audios, but this will reveal the truth.

⚜️Do I need to listen to Endax Chronicles to understand Glenwood or vice versa?

Nope! You can listen to one without needing the other, they should be able to be enjoyed separately.

⚜️Exactly how big do shifters get in their wolf form?

They're considerably bigger than normal wolves, thought not exactly as big as horses. When a shifter is fully transformed, they stand at about the same height as an average person. Certainly not something you want to be on the biting end of, but just about the best cuddle buddy you would ask for.

⚜️Will we ever get Claire/Celine or any other pairing aside from the endgame couples?

Unfortunately not in the canon storyline! But who knows? Some non-canon audios could always be a possibility!

⚜️Will you ever make merch?

Honestly, we haven't seriously considered making merch for the channel since we're still pretty new to the whole content creation business, but if that's something people would want, we can make it a reality!

⚜️Where else can I get your content?

As of right now, I am only on YouTube, Tumblr, Twitter, and Tik Tok with various degrees of activity on each platform. However, later this year we will be launching the CastleAudios Discord server as well as a Patreon!

MAN CASTEL YOU ALSO NEED SOME LOVE TOO

Do you have any favorite shows or movies?

What your favorite color?

Do you like any sweets?

Salty or sour?

Uhhhhhhh

do you think a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable EXPLAIN YOUR ARGUMENT

And do you like pineapple on pizza? (Answer carefully)

Ooh okay!

Love the Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass! Other shows I like would be BBC’s Merlin, the Tenth Kingdom, Psych, Marry My Husband, and Hell’s Kitchen. And in no particular order, some of my favorite movies are Wolf Walkers, Bullet Train, Treasure Planet, Atlantis, RRR, The Fall Guy, and Sinners!

Favorite color is Green 💚

I have a big sweet tooth but my favorite are chocolate covered pretzels

Salty!

I consider Tomatoes morally as a vegetable. My reason: I would never add tomatoes to my morning smoothie nor would I want to add them to a fruit salad but I would miss them if Jersey Mike’s forgot to put them on my sub

I think Pineapple belongs on the pizza of whoever wants it! No judgment from my end. It’s never the first topping I’d consider for myself but I have most definitely enjoyed a pizza with no tomato sauce, pineapple, and black olives. I’ll never apologize for my love of the sweet and salty combo

[castleaudios]

Not really a question but I just wanted to share a head Canon to idk say to the void, I think Ranger would make a like loop of their heartbeat for Claire, for Claire to listen to when stressed. Since in one of there audios Claire calmed down after feeling/hearing Ranger heartbeat, you know what I mean. It seems fitting for them. Also love your stuff claire/Ranger has infested my brain for the past two years.

I really like this! It does seem very fitting for the two of them

[castleaudios]

Hii Castle it's so good to see you finally back in action! I hope you have an amazing day and amazing more to follow!

1. Did we finally achieve the trio of seer, ranger, and Evie?

2. Would it be cannon that knight is actually quite fond of sugar?

3. Which character you created is most like you?

4. What are the character's red flags AND green flags?

5. I remember in one of your posts you said that Claire got suspended one time for walking knight and evie to class with a bat so is it that Knight used to just get picked on a lot?

6. Is Knight just a scary person when you first meet them? They seem like the type of person to be kinda standoffish😭

7. Is rogue ever gonna be on good terms with knight and evie?

Thank you so much!

1. Ranger might not have the official title of Mate yet, but the “Mates of the Greene Pack” trio is alive and well!

2. I’d say so. Sugar still annoys them to no end and Knight definitely still leans into the bit of disliking them the most out of everyone in the Court, but it’s all mostly an act after finding out just how in love Sugar is with Liza. They still don’t particularly love when they flirt with Genevieve but it’s all in good fun!

3. Of all the Glenwood characters, I’d say I’m most like a mix of Beth and Rose

4. Oooh that’d a long one since there’s so many characters at this point but I’ll give a handful!

Beth: Red- Let’s her emotions get the best of her. Green- Will always gift you personal or functional presents.

Evie: Red- Will eat the last bite without asking. Green- Will never let you feel left out, always makes space for everyone.

Abby: Red- Will let eating meals be the first thing she gives up if she starts getting busy. Green- The most attentive and active listener

Harper: Red- Avoids conflict to the point of losing contact with people. Green- Incredibly patient, open to compromise

Chloe: Red- Has no concept of “Time and Place”. Green- Very emotionally perceptive, will always give you the larger portion of food/drink.

5. They did get bullied a lot or would actively get involved if they saw someone else getting bullied.

6. I like to think Knight’s always been more introverted and not as easy to approach as the rest of the Pack, but once you get to know them they are super soft. They’ve definitely been described as scary in the past, even when they’re not trying to be.

7. Depends on what you consider good terms! I don’t think Rogue is ever going to be friends with Knight or Genevieve, at least not in the traditional sense. At more I think they will all come to a mutual understanding and go their separate ways.

[castleaudios]

What has been the hardest to wright/voice act in?

Rachelle is typically the hardest to voice act because of the mental work it takes to get into her headspace

But the hardest script I’ve written is probably the most recent Ethics Evaluation for Seer, writing all those scenarios was exhausting!

[castleaudios]

I'm a sucker for love stories so I wanna know, what was the moment all the glenwood couples knew their partners were the one? I'm especially curious about Celine and Lydia as well as Claire and Ranger.

Ooooh my hopeless romantic heart loves this question!

Beth/Seer: Beth knew after only a few months. After Beautiful had come over to help Simon prep dinner, Beth finally understood what Simon meant when he talked about having Beth’s mom as a Mate. Seer knew whenever they came over to Beth’s place and she’d built a whole closet full of migraine recovery equipment (heating pads, eye masks, blankets, every medicine on the market) along with just about every pamphlet SIGHT had on supporting Seers.

Knight/Genevieve: Knight knew on the day of their High School graduation; there was no future they wanted without Genevieve in it. Evie knew the day Knight stole Claire’s motorcycle so they could make it to the opening night of the musical she was the lead in (she still made sure they apologized to Claire and promised to never do it again).

Rose/Abby/Dear: Rose realizes whenever Claire thought the three of them were a couple and she really didn’t want to argue that fact. Even if she hasn’t let her feelings be known, she wants to keep Dear and Abby by her side in her life. Abby knew it was more than just a casual crush on Rose during the third sleepover whenever the three of them ended up cuddling on the couch, all she could think about was wanting this to last forever. She knew Dear was the one when they cancelled their plans to go out and insisted that they stay up with Abby all night to go through her content now that she knew about magic. They spent the whole night sorting through Abby’s research notes and drafts to help her figure out what direction she should go in going forward. Even though Abby felt guilty, the fact that Dear recognized how important the channel is to her meant everything. Dear knew after watching Excalibur sleep on Abby’s chest and whenever Rose felt safe enough to introduce them to her Case Worker.

Chloe/DewDrop: Dewdrop after Chloe introduced them to her family during the holidays. There was this exhilarating rush they got whenever Chloe would introduce them as *her* partner. They never wanted that rush to end. Chloe knew after they survived their first long road trip together as a couple.

Claire/Ranger: Ranger truly believed Claire was the one after that first month in the Den when they were still regaining their memories. Claire would bring them anything they wanted from their home and would stay up with them all night. There was never a single nightmare Ranger had that Claire was not there to soothe them. Claire is still working on convincing herself this can last forever, but seeing Ranger play with Isla or ramble on about baking is making it a whole lot easier.

Celine/Lydia: Lydia knew Celine would be her one and only until the end of time after years of watching her govern her Court during its early stages. To see someone work so hard to bring order and peace to the lives of so many people, there was no one else Lydia could imagine dedicating her life to. Celine knew Lydia was her one and only when they were traveling the Sơn Đoòng cave in Vietnam. Lydia closed off the massive cave and created a whole sky out of magic, just so Celine could see a sunrise again.

[castleaudios]

hihi !! hope ur having a good day or night castle !! I rlly adore the story and world you’ve created !!!

I please request..possible knight scraps.. for the knight fans.. (cough cough me cough) they’re my favorite listener🥹

Hi there! Thank you! 😊

Always happy to talk about the favorite younger sibling.

Knight has a note in their phone full of all of Evie’s favorite things, preferences, take out orders. It’s organized by season so they know all her preferences year round. They’ve been updating it for years and even though nearly all the information is second nature to them, they still like to add to it.

It took them three tries to get their driver’s license. Beth says it should have taken them four.

Evie likes to take pictures of things that remind her of Knight and Knight saves every single one in an album on their phone.

They’re one of the best trackers in the pack.

Even though they know it doesn’t hurt her, they don’t like seeing when Claire over exerts her magic and gets the darkening around her eyes and fingers.

They hate immersive theater, the idea of being put on the spot gives them anxiety. They’ll still go for Evie because she *lives* for that stuff.

Surprisingly very fashionable, Beth likes to take credit.

They prefer to be shifted in their wolf form rather than their human form.

Claire and Knight go on sibling outings every few weeks, Knight usually picks where they go and what they do.

[castleaudios]

Did you know in Boise idaho theres a street called Glenwood? I found saw when driving around and wanted to see if you knew.

I’ve seen so many towns/streets/businesses with the name Glenwood! Though I did not know about Boise so I will add that too the list! Any time CW and I go on trips we try to find if there’s a Glenwood near us.

Whenever we were looking for our first apartment together we almost ended up in a place right next to Glenwood Dr!

[castleaudios]

have claire and ranger in the hockey au seen heated rivalry? if so, what do they think of it?

Yes they have. They found it very inspirational 👀

[castleaudios]

Hi Castle! How did Abby find out about magic in the AU?

A chance to talk about an AU??? Yes please

After about 6 months of working there, Abby accidentally walked in on Rose while her latest client was still recovering from having their mind rifled through. It could have been brushed off except for Abby suddenly hearing Rose’s voice in her head telling her to close the door. It was a moment of carelessness on Rose’s part and Abby was already perceptive enough as it was. Only instead of leaving the office and closing the door, Abby stepped inside and waited for Rose to be done. She watched while Rose finished the rest of her meeting and let the client stumble out the door several million dollars poorer- all while never speaking a word. At the time Rose figured she could have a little fun with Abby before firing her and looking for a new assistant. Maybe she’d hire a vampire to take care of the memories of that day, or of Abby’s time at the office altogether, it didn’t really matter to her beyond being mildly inconvenient. So she beckoned Abby to come towards the desk, still only speaking in her mind, and gave a half-hearted answer to whatever problem Abby had barged into her office for to begin with. She thought it was cute when Abby not-so-subtly tried pinching her own arm and decided to peer into her mind a little more.

Abby wore her heart on her sleeve and her inner monologue, while loud and cluttered, was no different. So if Rose poked around and Abby’s secret fantasies about her boss happened to rise to the surface, well that really wasn’t Rose’s fault, now was it? And it was cute watching Abby try to keep a straight face while suddenly all she could think about was Rose and, more importantly, Rose’s *comments* on how she thought about Rose. It was only a few minutes at most and when Rose was bored she instructed Abby to take some files back to her desk to organize and to close her office door behind her. Abby did as she was told and realized that neither she nor Rose had opened their mouths once.

She put two and two together after about a day because, as insane as it sounded, how else could Rose be so good at digging up dirt on people? Even people who dropped in to the office without warning who Rose wouldn’t have had *time* to do research on. She always just seemed to… know. So Abby did what she believed to be the smartest thing she’d ever done and kept her mouth shut. She didn’t mention what had happened to anyone, not anyone in the office, no one in her personal life, not even a journal tucked away on a shelf she never looked at. She didn’t breathe a word about it to anyone and kept doing her job as if nothing had happened.

And nothing else happened for the rest of the week. She wasn’t fired or demoted or taken out into the woods in the dead of night with a shovel. She just kept doing her job as Rose’s personal assistant. Then the month passed and still nothing. Abby kept doing as she was told and didn’t try to think about how Rose watched her so much more closely now.

More months passed and nothing changed for Abby except for the fact that, if anything, she was spending *more* time in the office. Rose kept seeing clients and the business kept growing more and more, so meetings got longer and Rose needed Abby by her side to take notes and run errands almost constantly. Abby did her best not to think too hard about how some nights she’d be asked to stay at the office and just sit across from Rose as she worked on the latest contract. Nothing to do but let her mind wander and then desperately try to reel it back in. And she definitely didn’t notice how sometimes when Abby’s mind would wander a little too far and she’d desperately try thinking of anything else to distract herself, it looked like Rose had to cover a smile or her pen would conveniently stop writing.

With all the evidence piling up that most certainly didn’t make her sound like a crazy person, Abby started thinking a little more instead of less. She’d coincidentally remember a dream or make a mental comment about a particularly unpleasant client while in Rose’s office and wait to see if there was any change to her boss’s expression. There rarely was, but once in a blue moon Rose’s eyes would dart over to Abigail like she was shocked, or impressed, more likely than not just exasperated because even when Abby doesn’t open her mouth she’s still a chatterbox.

After Abigail’s 1 year anniversary with the company, she started getting anonymous emails, calls, DM’s all offering her exorbitant amounts of money for any information on Rose, or anyone high up in the office. She ignored them all; blocked, deleted, and moved on to trail behind Rose to her next meeting. This went on for weeks. New emails and new numbers, offers of wealth morphing into outright threats. Again, deleted and ignored. She knew that at this point she probably should have gone to the police, to Rose at the very least. But so many people would talk about how no one had ever lasted so long in her position, how she was the *only* person to make it so far and she had only gotten their by carrying on and keeping quiet. So she stayed quiet until the last email showed up in her inbox.

From Rose, herself.

The office was sent home early that night, the entire building shut down except for the private office on the top floor. Abigail had stayed late dozens of times but this was the first time that even the security team had been told to go home. It was just Abigail and Rose, truly alone for the first time.

Rose offered Abby a promotion. Even higher salary, better benefits, and the expectation that Abigail would be carrying out all her normal duties until her replacement could be found. Technically Abigail was a PA under the company, but this promotion would make her Rose’s subordinate in strictly personal affairs. A round-the-clock assistant at Rose’s beck and call at any time, any place, all on Rose’s dime. The details were left intentionally vague but all Abby knew was that she would be attending to Rose for whatever she needed or wanted and was expected to be as discrete as she had been up to this point. (Abby had guessed many of those offers and threats were all a test but she didn’t dare say that out loud, what was the point anyway? Rose already knew.)

Abigail said yes and her immediate promotion was accompanied by a Non-Wielder Liaison License, procured by Rose pulling several strings to make sure it all happened under the table. Abby was expected to learn everything she could about the magical world in order to best serve Rose and she took to the work instantly. Any questions she had were answered and any roadblocks to her education would be conveniently removed without her ever having to ask.

Rose had long since decided that Abby was more useful as an assistant if she was kept close and given a few extra privileges in order to keep her entertaining. Plus it would have been so inconvenient to try and find a new assistant, at least for now until an up and coming Open Wielder would apply to work for her.

And the rest is morally questionable history!

[castleaudios]

Hi again! I hope you and CW are doing great! Much love to both of you! <3

I wanted to ask about Seer or at least people who have somewhat the same magical abilities like them. We know that there are flashes of the future that happen at random, and some of those flashes are bad events. My question is, if people who saw glimpses of the future were to become obsessed with preventing a sequence of bad events, would that negatively impact the future more? If so, does SIGHT or whoever from the Bureau punish those who do? Or is it encouraged to prevent bad events? Seems like a really heavy responsibility 😓

Hi! Thank you so much!

If a Seer were to become obsessed with avoiding every negative future they see, there could absolutely be negative consequences. There’s the whole paradox that the more you fight to avoid one future you only make it all the more certain and that’s what SIGHT tries its best to avoid. The Seer would be less likely to be punished by SIGHT and more likely be required to take counseling to alleviate the guilt of responsibility. Bad things happen every day and even if you see it coming, that doesn’t mean it is on your shoulders alone to bare the weight of it, which SIGHT tries to instill during a Seer’s training. It’s better to plan for recovery than prevention in matters of fate, and it’s a bitter pill for a lot of Seers to swallow. Nearly 35% of the Bureau’s budget pertaining to mental health is used by SIGHT for this very reason

[castleaudios]

HAIII I came with many questions so sorry if it’s too much 😞

What is everyone’s pet peeve?

Aside from Claire, Knight, and Abby does anyone else have siblings? If so are they the oldest, middle, or youngest?

Is Diana ever going to get a voice?

Does Diana know about the pack and them all being shifters?

Is Diana a NWL?

Would you say that Ranger feels like Diana is like a mother figure to them?

How did Ranger get into DnD?

Not too much at all!

Oooh okay some pet peeves:

Claire/Rose: Open-mouthed chewing.

Beth: People who think being insanely late to everything is a quirky personality trait.

Evie: Fur on every surface (for obvious reasons)

Celine: Too much perfume/cologne, especially when it’s contrasting scent profiles on top of each other

Rachelle: Needing to repeat herself

Harper: Customers who micromanage but don’t have an actual vision for their piece (they don’t know what they want but they’ll make Harper go through 17 prototype designs figuring out what they do want)

Chloe: Customers who think making “Happy Ending” jokes during their sessions is funny

Liza: Anything Sugar does/says/thinks

Abby: AI companies harassing her for collabs

Simon: Dull knives

Liza has a younger sister who lives pretty far say but they do their best to stay in contact. Chloe is an only child but grew up with a bunch of older cousins who she treats like siblings!

I’d love for Diane to have a voice in a future audio but right now I’ve got no set plans. Plus I like this ethereal vibe she’s got going on since she’s been so prominent as a character but has remained off screen/audio.

Diane does not know about the Pack and is not an NWL! She’d probably make a great confidant and wouldn’t have any problems keeping the secret (after getting over the whole “magic is real” thing) she just isn’t close enough to anyone with magic to be approved by the Bureau.

I’d definitely say Ranger sees Diane like a motherly figure, they value her advice and opinion above most people’s.

I like to think that Ranger got a lot of hand-me downs either from cousins or friends of the family growing up and one of those happened to be some older D&D books/figurines. They didn’t realize there was a whole community surrounding it until Isaiah brought them to a convention for the first time.

[castleaudios]

Hi Castle! I hope you’re doing good and having a wonderful day/night/afternoon! Who are the gamers of Glenwood and what games are the girls and listeners currently playing (if any)?

Hello! Thank you, it has been a wonderful evening over here ☺️

Ro and Tristan are playing Borderlands pretty consistently (not well) but they started their friendship early on with Mario Party/Mario Kart

Evie gets bored quickly of farming sims but likes to wind down during the day with Dreamlight Valley!

Knight and Beth used to trade off playing Bloodborne but they are both terrible backseat players. Knight has also enjoyed playing Horizon Zero Dawn!

Ranger enjoys mission based open world games but doesn’t want anything too stressful in terms of combat. They were introduced to Slime Rancher and became obsessed immediately. They don’t play often but when they do it is absolutely gonna be an all-nighter.

Chloe has played Date Everything multiple times and Dewdrop always likes to chill with some Botany Manor or Tiny Book Shop on their Switch.

Abby spends her life looking at a screen so she doesn’t partake but Rose is shockingly good at horror games. Her and Dear play Outlast together while Abby hides under a blanket. They’re both trying to get her to livestream a play through 👀

[castleaudios]

I like to think that Claire gains a little bit of comfort weight now that she and Ranger are together. Ranger takes great pride in this

[castleaudios]

Hi Castle! Question about Abby. Do you think In the future we might get an episode where we finally meet Abby's family or just get more about them in the future?

Hi!

Oh I would love to get Abby's family on the channel for an episode, for now I think we'll just be hearing about them more until I can wrangle some other folks to voice them!

[castleaudios]

Hi, what is Claire's opinions and feelings on her biological family? Has she ever tried looking into them and/or reaching out to them?

Claire's biological parents were killed in a forest fire when she was young. They had no extended family so that's how Claire ended up in foster care and then with the pack. She sometimes thinks of them but at this point she can barely remember what they looked like. She has no photos or momentos, so there's never really been anything for her to cling to. It's hard to miss someone you never met, and even harder when you have no one or nothing else to remember them by.

She's fully accepted the pack as her family, so has no desire to look into a past she has no connection to anymore.

[castleaudios]

Hi Castle! Welcome back!

I’ve been working on drawings for the wolf forms of the pack and I’ve been wondering a couple things,

. What type of wolf/wolves are the pack? Are they all the same type of wolf?

. Where are Claire’s scars on her wolf form?

. And do any of the other pack members have any (canon) scars on their human or wolf forms?

Anyways that’s all!

Hope you and CW have a wonderful day!

Thank you!

The pack is a mix of various Gray Wolf subspecies, since many of them are originally from the Northern West Coast area. Only variation is Ro who I see as a red wolf!

Claires scars rest in the same places as her human form, but they're much harder to see because of all her fur. The most obvious scar she has is a notch in her ear.

Simon as a few scars along his back from sliding down a rockface in his younger years. Hazel has a small ring of scar tissue around her ankle from getting caught in a snare. Beth has a number of tiny scars along her fingers from scissors, needles, etc.
