• Oberon has a girlfriend in the first chapter (and only in the first chapter) whom he supposedly loves so much he'd run into a burning building for her but then he's like. She dead. Omkay. I'll mention her sometime but I'm moving on. I have hot sisters who are the "examples of feminine perfection" and if they weren't my sisters he would have "lusted after them".

• somewhere Corwin with pretty tame "if only she were not my sister" and wholesome butterflies in stomach when Deirdre does him a kis on the forehead is facepalming through time and space

• Her name is Helda and the only line spoken by her is a sleepy sound and the only fact known about her is that she had a house, banged Oberon and is a deep sleeper after partying. Yeah. Also she's my favorite character

• in like the first chapter Dworkin comes over to Oberon like "hippity hoppity your time is my property you're in danger let's get out of here" and Oberon comes down to him after waking up from afterglow with Helda and he like

• he's um

• naked

• and also the afterglow took place in ahem a bED SOAKED WITH INSENCE SWEAT AND PERFUME like fucking do laundry people

• like he gathered his clothes when he was coming down to answer the knock but only put his pants on after talking to Dworkin for some time

• so it's like

• he's standing there talking serious drama with Dworkin and throughout he's just naked

• to quote one of my favorite reviewers , it's nudity that's pointless to the point when it's actually kind of surreal

• he also points out every article of clothing he puts on

• Dworkin comes to get him in a pumpkin-shaped carriage

• Oberon sees it move without horses and is like

• his sis Freda who meets him in the carriage she like

• she's a fashion disaster she wears a round red hat and her "slender fingers are covered in rings"

• "Why was my childhood so lonely and alone?!" ©©©©©

• Oberon's Shadow home country is called Illerium and the town he's residing in is like called Kingstown

• these goddamn prequels

- April Spellcest Challenge: CAOS Reimagined [UPDATED!]  -

In case you were looking for an excuse to rewatch CAOS in preparation of Part 2, this month’s challenge is to reimagine CAOS episodes with a Spellcest twist.
