As a certified Wines Fan, what's your take on Wines allowing the Viric dreams of it to be sold? Even when you're not Cards!

oh man it's been ages since I've talked about Wines...obviously it is Known that I'm extremely fond of the Wines Viric dream (I've already done it again this year ofc) and the Cards option in particular. I've got 9 fics worth of thesis on that. A WARMTH WITHOUT WHICH THE COLD WOULD BE UNBEARABLE are you kidding meeeeeeee

Anyway. I feel like it's Wines finding a backdoor into the sale situation, since it's always competing with Spices to have control over dreams. People being able to buy a Viric dream about Wines is now a way for people to associate Wines with dreams. I don't know a ton about Parabola lore, but I feel like there's a chance that this would give it at least some tools for a greater foothold, if it played its cards right.

Speaking of Cards (hehe), nobody knew to expect Cards existing before it happened, so Wines wouldn't have planned for that when it first allowed the sale of those dreams. I imagine in some ways this is the worst case scenario for Wines. It's no secret that Wines is like, at most three degrees of drunkenness off from venting to literally anyone around, but there's a difference between "emotional mess ready to vent to people it doesn't respect or care about" and "someone who is ostensibly on a peer-ish level now has a view of possible intimacies and might sincerely Feel Something about that".

Now. Why wouldn't Spices do this? Because Spices is more paranoid. Spices would identify that this is a theoretical emotional vulnerability and hiss and spit and screech about it. Wines is a hedonist who tries to dull its emotions and probably doesn't think it *can* be hurt, especially by something random humans are dreaming up. It's not like those dreams could ever come true, right?

#this one goes out to the cardonnayheads out there.#the unrepentant artist #crines #<- because not just my blorbo but all the cardses who have had intercourse with wines

established cards/wines and once cards is acceptably batsexy enough spices tries to hit on cards to humiliate wines by stealing its lover

but cards looks at it with an open mixture of pity and disgust and literally says "yikes" and this is why spices hibernates until the next Summer Catastrophe when hopefully everyone will be distracted enough to forget how cringe it was

#fallen london #mr cards #mr spices #crines #cards now has cringe leverage over spices and that's very powerful #however they have to decide if it's worth it to use that leverage when wines will be soooo obnoxious about it #when you've gotta balance your blackmail (important for your low standing among your awful coworkers who culturally respect blackmail)#against how fucking annoying your lover is about this one particular guy (gender neutral)#wines: do you know why spices has been sleeping for six months #cards (sweating): uhhhhhh who cares amiright #wines: EXCELLENT point! we will drink to that!!!#cards: thank fuck #wines: what was that?#cards: I SAID WE SHOULD FUCK #i love to put horrid spacebats in silly situations. i think i am so fun for this.

it just feels so good to take a snippet you wrote bc u got hit with it just before falling asleep and get to slip it into a proper fic

#fallen london #mr wines #mr cards #cards/wines #crines #i just think i am so silly and clever and correct all the time

cards: come on, you have to have some advice manager-city: i really don't know why you think i can help you with this cards: we're both falling in love with people we never expected to care about! it's not *that* different manager-city: i'm settling into a marriage that we tricked a sentient plot of land into so that i could follow the fate of my once-lover who i sold my city for, which caused him to hate me for eternity because instead of healing him, the masters turned him into a city. you have a crush on mr wines. it's really not the same. cards: i feel like you're not taking me seriously manager-city: that's because i'm not

#fallen london #mr cards #manager of the royal bethlehem #i don't quite have enough confidence to do a fic that's Just This bc i'd worry about getting the manager's voice right #but a cards/wines fic that's just cards talking to people who are really sick of them being dramatic would be so funny #me lining up the manager and tristam and lettice like ok everyone you are going to have to deal with a master bitching about their love lif #cards/wines #crines

if i wasn't supposed to be weird about cards/wines then failbetter shouldn't have written that trance dream. why did they write that trance dream. why would they do that to me.
