#chapter 6 shenanigans

[fir-fireweed]

Pffft! I’m doing a final check on chapter 6 and came across this funny snippet. This is for all of you who, like me, forgot that you named your pet Tellus. 🤣

Omg we get to kiss the RO's in chapter 6? 😧😧

ARE WE GETTING THE ROMANCE LOCK IN? 😧😧😧😧

You get to kiss all but one of them. You can probably guess who the holdout is, lol. But I did make their scene as delicious as possible without a kiss. 😏

It’s not the lock-in, but it is a fairly significant scene in terms of progression. Romance lock will be in either chapter 7 or 8.

"“I like names,” Bayram continues. “There are many words to describe a person; why not names, as well? Imagine a world where we didn’t have any. Barren, as a desert.”" VIATICA REFERENCE!?!?!?

Lol, yup! There are Viatica references in every chapter of Cantata!

Except chapter 6. You’ll get a reference of a different kind in chapter 6. 🤭

Maaaaa'aaaaam.

I don't choose the lady ROs. In anything. Ever. I love their characters in the stories, I just don't choose them.

So... imagine my surprise coming to a certain place. And seeing a certain Corinne in the bath... What have you done to meeee?? What in the actual sorcery did you write her with!? I love it. I feel. Um. Confused? In a good way :3

[fir-fireweed]

The scene with Corinne was so perfect AAAAAÀAAAaaAAAAAAA you melted my brain. I have no words, best chapter by far. Can't wait for more!!!!!!

Yay!! A Corinne romancer! 🤗

Her scene was fairly tough finding the right balance. She’s very respectful of MC and not forceful, but on the other hand, she needed to show at least some initiative.

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

decided to start a bayram play through and boy does he have me BLUSHING at the camp site scene 😫😫

Wait’ll you get him in the bath. 😏

[fir-fireweed]

I just wanted to let you know that I am very normal about the bath scenes.

And that I didn't reread all of them multiple times over the course of the last few days.

That's all.

As a newly converted Bayram fan #whatever-the-hell-we-are-on, my go-to attunement is fire. I really love the idea of a more naturally touch-averse fire attunement making Bayram have to slow himself down a little and work to attain MC's affection and touch 😌🙌 (the MC being very much into this slow burn obviously)

Welcome, new fan! I believe you’re #8. 😆

I approve of making Bayram work for it, lol. 👍🏻 There’s an intimate scene in chapter 6 where touch aversion comes into play. Not as much as I’d like—that’s one of the things I plan to expand on before public release. 😉
