Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #3: ~Balance~ 🔥🎂 (Patreon)

Me, trying to write something wholesome and fluffy after allowing the ??? to wreak havoc on the MC's emotions by bringing up past trauma and/or scaring them: 

[Alternate Text: A GIF of a man talking into his cellphone with an unsettled expression. He says: "I was so worried, I baked a whole cake.".] 

The balance between the nightmares and then the potential hurt/comfort RO moments can be delicious, but I'll admit the last section I wrote even made me on edge. 😂 The horror will vary across the series to keep things dynamic and engaging; however, the trend of the ??? escalating things is a constant in TFS. That need to push and bend and twist is their nature. 

While I can't give the MC a cake, I can let B scoop them up in a hug or R cradle their face, etc.

Somehow that momentary relief from the RO(s) can make the next bout of dread or encounter more harrowing if your Returning Visitors believe (know?) it won't last.  It's a balance! 😌
