[hibiscusgravy]

OK discourse forum, thanks for MESSING UP MY POLL FOR NO REASON

[hibiscusgravy]

My fave theory: Rosie and trips and accidentally kisses Basil and he ends up getting the curse transferred to him and has to work out his trauma in the nightmare world while Rosie finds a prince (maybe Alys, maybe Basil’s magical sword who knows) to lift the enchantment

[LemonProductions]

Today I was a happy Lemon

HUNTER HUNTER HUNTER HUNTER
EEEEE BAKERY

[Cncbella]

YEEEES, I WAS WAITING FOR THIS THREAD

LETS START WITH THE QUESTIONS

Answers

@hibiscusgravy

What were your initial reactions to the first three chapters of BoR?

I LOVE IT!!! I REALLY LOVED ROSIE, SHE IS SO RELATABLE

ALSO SHE IS BABY, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE ADVENTURE

@hibiscusgravy

What moments, if any, surprised you the most?

I literally cried when Sardine showed up, he misses his Blair

@hibiscusgravy

Feelings and theories about Rosie?

I love her also, something tells me that somehow it was intended for her to wake up when she did, because her nightmare language is today’s language, so maybe she was meant to live in this time just a thought

@hibiscusgravy

Thoughts on the Court of Eraywyn? Who’s excited about Princess Astra?

I’m too gay to handle Astra, sorry Alys and Hunter, she got the throne

@hibiscusgravy

THAT CLIFFHANGER THO???

DON’T EVEN TELL ME, I WANT THEM TO MEET SO BAD, I NEED TO SEE THEIR RELATIONSHIP BUILDING

@hibiscusgravy

Any thoughts on confirmed and potential friendships and relationships? Y’all know I am a massive Vera / Jasper shipper but I’m also loving Parsley’s Basil’s and Vera’s developing friendship?

Hskdvhznsbsjsbsbjabsjs IT’S EXACTLY THE I-GOT-YOUR-BACK FRIENDSHIP THAT I WAS HOPING FOR, THERE WON’T BE ANY MASSACRES ON OUR GENERAL’S WATCH He might just accept it the title

@hibiscusgravy

How’s your point breakdown? What are you leading with for Rosie? Daydream or Nightmare points? How’s Basil’s Rage Meter?

I’m leaning towards daydream because Rosie is now my adopted daughter and I can’t let her suffer, sorry
The ragemeter is quite low because I had a feeling repling to the king with sarcasm would be the best, but I didn’t want to risk it, so Thyme bottled it up 🤷

@hibiscusgravy

FREESTYLE thoughts, yellins, cryins, theories, klajkdhasjkdhaskuis, FEELINs

Is Astra the book 6 MC?
I have a feeling because we know of the book 6 ship and she and her fiancee might fit in

Also, have a dumb meme, my treat

[Ashorefox]

1. What were your initial reactions to the first three chapters of BoR?

Can’t even describe how much these chapters made (and saved) my day .

2. What moments, if any, surprised you the most?

Okay, I lowkey didn’t expect Hunter to go all spiderman. This boy has some serious skills and now I’m constantly debating whether Angry Oregano or Gemini-Cakeman would win in a fight against each other?? (<— Of course theoretically)

3. Feelings and theories about Rosie?
Love her already, she’s precious and must be protected at all costs.

4. Thoughts on the Court of Eraywyn? Who’s excited about Princess Astra?

Oh Elements, Astra and her brother have my deepest empathy for having to deal with this sort of parents. And Astra seems like a great character so far, there might be potential for her to become my favourite female character - but let’s see how her character develops.

5. THAT CLIFFHANGER THO???

6. Any thoughts on confirmed and potential friendships and relationships? Y’all know I am a massive Vera / Jasper shipper but I’m also loving Parsley’s Basil’s and Vera’s developing friendship?

Vesper all the way.
A friendship between Basil and Astra would be nice and I shipped BasilxRosie before the publication of book 2 and I will go down with this ship .

7. How’s your point breakdown? What are you leading with for Rosie? Daydream or Nightmare points? How’s Basil’s Rage Meter?

Due to my 2 save files, I’m taking different routes in each.
Save file 1) Emotionally controlled Basil + Daydream Rosie
Save file 2) Very angry Basil + Nightmare Rosie

@hibiscusgravy

1. What were your initial reactions to the first three chapters of BoR?

There is going to be SO MANY WITTY COMMENTS I’m very eager

@hibiscusgravy

2. What moments, if any, surprised you the most?

I didn’t see the breaking off the alliance I mean I expect they wouldn’t be happy about Jasper but I didn’t expect them to go a full on no lol bye

@hibiscusgravy

3. Feelings and theories about Rosie?

We are essentially the same person expect I’m way for awkward about it

@hibiscusgravy

4. Thoughts on the Court of Eraywyn? Who’s excited about Princess Astra?

Djsjsb Astra is cool I like her I’m not shipping her but she seems like she could be a awesome friend to Vera

@hibiscusgravy

5. THAT CLIFFHANGER THO???

RIGHT??? Blade starting a convo first

@hibiscusgravy

6. Any thoughts on confirmed and potential friendships and relationships? Y’all know I am a massive Vera / Jasper shipper but I’m also loving Parsley’s Basil’s and Vera’s developing friendship?

I hope for a Vera Astra friendship they seem like a great match
I’m already a OTP Rosie X Parsley shipper you can’t stop me

@hibiscusgravy

7. How’s your point breakdown? What are you leading with for Rosie? Daydream or Nightmare points? How’s Basil’s Rage Meter?

My rage meter is low I was sad I didn’t get sarcasm rjsidnn
I’m more on the nightmare scale but my day dream points are catching up so we’ll see

@hibiscusgravy

HUNTER WANTS A BAKERY BIG AWEEE MOMENT IF THAT DOESNT HAPPEN IM FREAKING DJIWJSNS HUNTER CHEF BOY SPOON GANG
SPOON BOY GETS DOUGH
THANK YOU

[alexandra.e]

Just as I got ready to go to bed… How am I supposed to sleep now that Spiegel’s gone and done this??

[OreoBiscuit]

Oh my goodness!! I’ve been checking the author’s profile to see when the next book would be out. I loved the first book so so much and I know I’m gonna enjoy this one too.
Ok bye I’m going to read the second book now!

[Cncbella]

Also, my favorite theory in the moment is that they need Alys to break the curse, but he is locked away somewhere, so they’ll need to break him out

Also, they’ll need Hunter, but maybe getting Hunter back to Eraywyn won’t be a good aidea

[corvus.writes]

AAHHHHHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAH IM HERE JUST GOT A 75 ON A CHEMISTRY TEST BUT IM HERE

[Yarha]

@hibiscusgravy

1. What were your initial reactions to the first three chapters of BoR?

@hibiscusgravy

2. What moments, if any, surprised you the most?

Honestly just how sassy she is! She says all this dark stuff with a smile and I loved it.
Rosie has big Yarha energy.

@hibiscusgravy

3. Feelings and theories about Rosie?

When she was crying into the menu -

I’m also curious: Is her world subtitled? Has Caraboss cast some sort of spell to help Rosie get around? She can understand while speaking to people just fine because it’s written in a language she can read, but the magic doesn’t work for signage and stuff.

@hibiscusgravy

4. Thoughts on the Court of Eraywyn? Who’s excited about Princess Astra?

I don’t like the King and Queen. They are scheming and it makes me suspicious.

I have been waiting for Astra!

@hibiscusgravy

5. THAT CLIFFHANGER THO???

@hibiscusgravy

6. Any thoughts on confirmed and potential friendships and relationships? Y’all know I am a massive Vera / Jasper shipper but I’m also loving Parsley’s Basil’s and Vera’s developing friendship?

I’m loving Basil and Vera’s friendship.
I can’t wait to see how Basil and Rosie interact.

@hibiscusgravy

7. How’s your point breakdown? What are you leading with for Rosie? Daydream or Nightmare points? How’s Basil’s Rage Meter?

12 nightmare points.
Rage bar very low. I got some major customer service vibes from the situations he was in so I acted accordingly.

Daggerheart playthrough though:

@hibiscusgravy

8. FREESTYLE thoughts, yellins, cryins, theories, klajkdhasjkdhaskuis, FEELINs

I’m sad about Jasper being sad.

Nothing yet, but I’m sure I’ll be raving along with everyone else. How else are we going to get a 2nd thread to 6.8K+ reads?

Also, new story means a new nickname:

[Nessya]

1. What were your initial reactions to the first three chapters of BoR?

Rosie is too bright for me!

2. What moments, if any, surprised you the most?

I am surprised that I held Basil back with King and Queen of Erawyin

3. Feelings and theories about Rosie?

It’s funny that she is even clumsier than I thought but can be sarcastic too

4. Thoughts on the Court of Eraywyn? Who’s excited about Princess Astra?

Evil spawn, I can’t even understand how our outgoing and independent Astra was born from those two, Astra, you deserve all my love!!!

5. THAT CLIFFHANGER THO???
I can survive, eheh

6. Any thoughts on confirmed and potential friendships and relationships? Y’all know I am a massive Vera / Jasper shipper but I’m also loving Parsley’s Basil’s and Vera’s developing friendship?

I loved them all, Vera defending Jasper, goals!

7. How’s your point breakdown? What are you leading with for Rosie? Daydream or Nightmare points? How’s Basil’s Rage Meter?

19/21, but I have been tempted… to start a second version already and Low.

I didn’t pet Dagger because I thought I would stress her more

[Yarha]

@hibiscusgravy

Rosie and trips and accidentally kisses Basil and he ends up getting the curse

I still have a .gif ready for this.

[Nessya]

@Ashorefox

Due to my 2 save files, I’m taking different routes in each.
Save file 1) Emotionally controlled Basil + Daydream Rosie
Save file 2) Very angry Basil + Nightmare Rosie

Same

[Nessya]

@Cncbella

I literally cried when Sardine showed up, he misses his Blair

Yeah, my heart was attacked on that part…

[Cncbella]

PRINCESS DREAMBANE!!!

She already have a place in my heart with Daggerheart and Furylust

[Cncbella]

@Nessya

Yeah, my heart was attacked on that part…

[Ashorefox]

~Theory time with Detective Disaster™~

If I remember correctly, Spiegel once wrote in a post that TaT will have both real and fake weddings/engagements. Unlike the original Sleeping Beauty, Rosie doesn’t have to find true love to break her curse. So I also believe that Alys is probably playing a huge role when it comes to finding a prince to marry, but him not being the one Rosie will fall in love with (that would be Basil).
Hope this theory is too far-fetched and wrong - my heart wouldn’t take it

[Cncbella]

Also, I wanted to change Rosie’s hair color to other purple when Spie first showed her to us, but I couldn’t because now I’m too used to her with the light purple hair
