She's her best friend. Mark gets a fair number of her secrets, too. In TFTNG - Cypress and Acanthus tell each other everything. Otherwise, there's a lot of secrets in The Garden [contains quote post or other embedded content]25 Aug 2026 13:51 +0000at://did:plc:phpcwckmaj4ryloxsscm5e7m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtvxnjfx7k2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/vampireantihero.com/post/3mtvxh2a5vc2z#QueerPrompts TFTNG - There are people of all types in this series. I don't know that we have anyone who's aro, it's definitely not said on page, but Avery and Lykaia have one of the tightest platonic relationships ever, and most of the characters rely on found family.

Legend has it that Alphonse would come to address the people on the Solstice in the early days.

Maybe a little bit of "I wish we were more," but not jealousy. (Funnily enough, there is a bit of a jealousy arc in Aloe, which is NOT romance but has an ace-spec romance subplot.)

I'll talk about Cypress for this one. Typically moonrise is peaceful for them. He's an at-will shifter (something unique to my universe) so there's no forced change. He likes to spend a full moon is with Acanthus, curled up at their feet.

(lol) Lykaia from Aloe is tough as nails, and she endures so much to get to where she is. But she's still happy, and still trying. And that's really admirable to me.

"Rebecca" is a name that means someone who loves deeply and is fiercely loyal but bound in place. "Elena" is literally a bright, shiny light. "Blaise" and "Estelle" are variations of things that are burning.

Cypress is inspired by Acanthus. S3: Rebecca is inspired by Vincent Van Gogh in particular. His letters are so tender and optimistic, despite his rough life. YP: Phoebe is inspired by the night sky and stars.

Where it does, people tend to relate it back to the blood. "Neshia's blood protect me. Chiara's blood, what a scare." This is few and far between, and slowly morphed away from the Four and more into, "Your strength is your blood."

My goals are simple this week - - Edit chapters 11-20 of Aloe - Finish the Uncanny and Uncouth cover - Have feedback to someone for a beta read I've been slowly chipping at. ♥ - Get the article finished for my newsletter next week.

I do think there's several couples that people will ship. If anyone ships Acanthus with François or Cypress with Nekane, I would be really upset. S3 - I'd love it if people shipped Rebecca and Elena.

It's boss/underling, fuckbuddies, literal food source and consumer, and pining "I want you but I can't have you". There's also an element of trauma mixing together messily and Stockholm syndrome.

At least, none that are widely known. Most of the stories about the Kingdom of the Four in modern day come from journals kept in the Library, a database of Supernatural accounts, events, artifacts, and old possessions that are kept safe by Corbin James.
