Respectfully, who are you?

Hello there;

My name's Rosie and I identify as a lukewarm disaster. I'm 33 years old and a mother to an actual human child?! (I know, who allowed that? Insanity is what that is.) Apart from that, I am a kindergarden and pre-school teacher and I spend a lot of time walking through the woods and spending time outside.

Are you the one with the mile-long fanfics?

Ah! So you've heard about my projects, I am so honored. A word of warning though: I am a slow writer. Like, snail pace, to be exact. Be prepared!

My current writing adventures are:

Fuel On The Fire (a Reth/OC adventure romance that I, very lovingly, call my personal Never Ending Story)

What We Owe To Each Other (a Hassian/Tish period & arranged marriage AU with an unnecessary amount of drama that could be solved by just talking to the other but who would ever do that?)

Do you take prompts & requests?

Generally? Yes! Absolutely! I am always open for ideas and especially if you don't expect a huge, multiple-chapter fanfic, I am very happy to write down some headcanons or short-fics. I cannot promise I will write every single thing, though, it always depens on the time of day and how much I have to do in real life. Just shoot me a message & I'll see what I can do. :)

What can you expect when you follow me on this hellsite?

-) The occasional headcanons about various Palia characters

-) NSFW musing about Reth

-) Just in general a lot of love for Kilima's best chef ;)

-) Lots and lots of fanart. I love fanart.

-) Apart from Palia, I sometimes also post about Baldur's Gate 3, Critical Role and ATLA. And, as of December, I also simp over those two gay hockey guys. You know the ones. The ones that are all over your dash ;)

An update on how things are going with "Fuel on the Fire"

Alright, seeing as I got several messages in the last few weeks asking me where the next chapter is, I feel like there is no way around it: I need to adress my elephant in the room. It probably isn't anyone else's elephant in the room, there has been an influx of reading material for Palia, which is wonderful, so I doubt anyone is missing my little manifesto ;) More under the "Read more" because I do not want to pester anyone who isn't interested in this.

But, if someone is, I do not want to leave you in the dark. It is no secret, that update have been coming slow for the past year or so. That is due to me pre-writing everything up until chapter 25 and posting it on a weekly schedule and then running out of material because I am, on top of being very good at procrastinating, a very slow writer. So at this point, I am writing everything on the go and post the chapter whenever I finish it.

Now, in the last very weeks, I have run into a problem: My life is a little too full at the moment. And so is my head. I have a shitton to do at work, this week was my husband and my sons birthday, I am a bridesmaid in my best friends wedding and we are having her bachelorette party next week. So there's a lot going on. And a new chapter for "Fuel" will take more time. I have no capacity in my brain right now for writing anything at all.

Do I want to finish the story? I do. I absolutely still do. My plan remains the same, my plotline is still working for me and I want to deliver this story with the same passion and dedication I have given to it for the past (almost) 2,5 (!) years. It will just take me a lot more time now and I hope that all of you, who read "Fuel" or maybe will start to read "Fuel", will offer me a flicker of understanding <3

Thank you and my deepest gratidude for all of the people who have taken the time out of their day to read my little fanfic <3

Well since you offered (and I have nothing better to do while grinding fish) I'm curious of your thoughts on this post I made about lyrics from my favorite band I felt fit with Reth.

https://www.tumblr.com/kennyswurvegurl/819918516415315968/i-think-reth-would-fuck-with-red-vox-as-long-as-i?source=share

Sorry for my late reply, we were celebrating my son's 4th birthday today :)

Now, I had to look up the songs since I didn't know them and listen to them a few times, just to get a vibe. Honestly, I gotta say, I have rarely read lyrics that go better with our favourite chef.

The first one is just so spot on and kinda of on the nose with the sheperd's pie and grenadine, it is frankly amazing. For Reth especially, I have a feeling like the whole song doesn't fit but these lyrics absolutely do. Because other than the singers, I feel like he would have such a hard time even daring to believe in anything at all. He wants to but nothing has ever come to him easily and them loving him feels dangerously easy. It is so tempting to believe in the daydream of a quiet life filled with love... It is a theme I actually put into my Reth fanfic: him having that feeling that it's dangerous to believe he could have a better life, not just because he fears he's putting his partner in danger but also because he knows his life will never be his. So he only hurts himself if he falls into the trap of believing he can have love and happiness.

The third one I feel is going into exactly that theme. "A broken heart is just the start of what could go wrong". And in that case, he means his own broken heart but also that of his partner that he will eventually have to break. But like I mention, with the whole cartel business, he is actually lucky if he just ends up sad and broken emotionally because if things go wrong, he could end up with broken bones. Or worse: His partner could end up physically hurt. Reth wakes up at night, crouched on the storeroom floor and bathed in sweat, the remnants of those nightmares where his partner gets hurt haunting him.

Now, the second one, fits because we all know his flirting and his confidence is just a facade. He's playing a character that isn't him right until the second you actually show him kindness. He doesn't know what to do with that, he breaks underneath the tiniest amount of affection because he craves it so much. For once in his life, he just wants to do something right. He wants to be accepted and loved. And yes, I know Tish loves him but do you really believe Reth does? Because I do not. I feel like that little voice in Reth's head will always tell him he failed her and he will always believe those nasty words.

I hope this is what you were hoping for because, well, I already warned all of you: I am obsessed with this pixel man. And I have a lot of thoughts. I also never learned how to keep things short and compact, so you get a whole novel.

Have a lovely night & thank you for giving me more opportunities to talk about the soup man <3

You can hijack my posts any time btw it was a delight to wake up to

@kennyswurvegurl

Aw well I am very glad to know that ❤️ You know, I just can't contain myself when it comes to the soup man 😅 Also, if you (or anyone) ever wants to talk about Reth, my inbox is always open.

[corvidesque]

can’t get anything done in palia because all i do is spend hours standing and staring at reth while vividly imagining Scenarios between him and the player character

[kennyswurvegurl]

Ok i know that Reth keeps his schedule after the level 5 quest resolution for Game Reasons but i wonder what his time would realistically look like with his freedom from debt. Does he still bartend the underground for fun? Work with Zeki on anti-cartel plans at night? Does he finally sleep in his own bed at home? Or does he keep doing his deliveries and duties cuz the cartel won't let him go that easy and he doesn't want them to know anything is up or something. I want answers please. Friendship Update When. For Everyone.

[piltoverfinest]

I am here to hijack posts about Reth again. Sorry, I hope this is alright. It's just...I love him.

Okay, okay, okay. So, Reth is my man, my heart and soul, so I have a few headcanons. I feel like Reth has been in his "hustel mode" for so long that he probably falls back into his schedule out of sheer desperation. He has no idea what he likes doing, has no idea what to do with his freedom and yeah, he has some things he would want to achieve someday but ha, those are silly dreams, right? He's just a dude? He can actually DO things????

I feel like he goes back to bartending because that is the only thing he know he can do. He's good at that. He doesn't mind doing that. Also, I can see him feeling a kind of debt towards Zeki because he paid his cartel debt. And yeah, Zeki did that out of the good of his heart but Reth can't believe that. Noone just does something like that right? And also, now that Zeki helped him, he needs to help Zeki in return. So that's how he ends up spending much of his time trying to figure out how to put an end to cartel business with Zeki. It takes him months to actually start using his time for himself. It takes all of Tish's effort to get him to let go of his rigid schedule and relax for once in his life. He starts working on his recipe book, he experiments in the kitchen. He actually plans a date with his crush and makes it there. Reth starts living slowly, tentatively, always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Please...someone stop me. I love this stupid pixel man so much. I want him to be happy, I just do not think it would come easily to him because he has spent so much time in fight or flight mode, on the edge of sanity.

I love, love love, love Vaelus and I love how Ashley plays her 🥹 I especially love when Ashley forgets to pick up the dice before each of her turns at the beginning of the episode 🤣🖤

Question, do blogs that openly love a specific character enjoy being pm-ed or ask-ed about them and asked questions about said character? Or is it uncomfortable when that happens

[benkeibear-deactivated20250330]

I would actually LOVE if that happens lol. Ask me the wildest questions about my skrunkliest blorbo

[inrethssoupflask]

I’ve been thinking about this for a while so I just want to go on record and share my prediction about a future update to palia that 1.) makes inyrevn accessible to players and 2.) probably makes the central quest figuring out what happened to reth and tish’s parents, because obviously

if you would be so kind as to reblog this if you feel insecure about your writing skills.

[paliaconfessions]

still love how reth will joke about having a quickie in the back room and our character can be like "yeah sure" and he CHICKENS OUT. he's all bark no bite and it's cute.
