30 is finally posted! Last week was kinda weird, sorry about that.
@Cinderpaw11: The teasing is only kinda semi-intentional, honest! Originally I'd toyed with making the Pan/Lorelei story its own thing (a novella, or something), which is why we don't get too much of it whenever it appears. Eventually I discarded that idea, tho (woulda been a lot of work for little payoff, & the story's too closely linked to Vulpine's themes to withhold that way), which bodes well for us finding out the rest....;)
Agreed on Musk being an enormous buttface, tho. Rhea presumably cared for him at least a little, though that wore off when he began expressing some...undesirable behavior that we'll end up seeing in Trick's chap. In theory, the Reynard cares for his closest partner as well, tho we know from Toma that their relationship's become strained (& the cracks in their partnership will continue to show as we go along). As for who Musk's story parallels, I'll say this - small kit, big paws.
Sprite's been a cute lil goober for most of the story, but she definitely has room to grow up - sooner rather than later, with the pressures of taking care of her lil family entirely on her own on her shoulders. We'll see how that goes.
Tbh after figuring out Trick->Holly was a thing, I kinda pondered whether or not it would be mutual if Grint were removed from the competition, but ultimately I concluded that Holly prolly doesn't swing that way. Unfortunate for Trick, but that's life!
That's all for this week, I think. See you guys next time. :)
