I made that comment with personal experience in mind 😏🐍

I wish I’d been wrong about your mom before, and it’s not right that she treated your siblings that way. Your dad, on the other hand, was always this way. He said it himself about your mom. He wasn’t changed by the circumstance of living in the woods, he just hid his real self until your mom was trapped. He’s getting what he deserves.

NOW then. That’s out of the way. You e probably realized that Jacek is going to be just fine with his newly bifurcated tongue…some might say he’s even better than before ;)

Totally agree with you there. I feel like Jeremy may have been leveraging powers that weren’t his to frivolously use on his own “revenge”.

I agree that was the inference, but I think Jeremy is also just real fucked up and is incorrect about how Cas does feel. Still, hella problems with women though.

And yeah I think Cas has processed and recognized that whatever did happen was likely a failure in parenting and not with Fiona. Hell, it’s not like being the heiress is a walk in the park dream job. It’s hard work and can easily be deadly and requires essentially dedicating your life for the sake of the land.

Between Casi-nova-mir and the sauna incident….well. 😏

And you just got your soul back too. Old Scratch there is tricky and opportunistic.

As far as your mom goes, it’s hard to just blame her for what’s happened. From what you’ve written it to does sound like she loved you all dearly. But in reality there are only so many hours in the day, and as your moms successor she needed to spend the time with you to teach you what that meant. Sadly that means less time for your siblings and as a kid that’s hard to reconcile. I can see Cas maybe wanting to avoid the topic, but if you asked him directly he might shed some light.

No matter what though, lots of us have shitty upbringings and somehow manage to not be serial killers. Jeremy made his choices and seems to have been deeply disturbed even before he moved out- at this point he has absolutely nothing to lose.

110% this.

Thanks I hate it 😩

I don’t think Cas is a serial killer- my read on Jeremy’s comment was that they both turned to “distractions” that treat women as disposable.

There’s a liiiiiittle bit of a difference between indiscriminately seducing and sleeping with women regardless of impact or regard for them as people, and literal murder. Like how he was party to ruining the marriage of that girl Fiona went to high school with- yeah she made the decision too but, uh, the Novak family sure seems to have a level of allure that most humans don’t.

Anyway, Casimir’s seduction activities are a far cry from Jeremy’s serial killer activities, though both seem to be rooted in issues with women.

Fiona, this might be a hard conversation, but I think you need to talk to Cas about your childhoods. I know you love your mom deeply, but I get the feeling that you may have been treated very differently as the next heiress and steward of the family land.
