Mimir just standing there vibing

Thank you so much for your very kind words!!! I’m so glad you’re loving the alpha build! 💖

Hi there, that’s been answered here and here! :) And right lol, Mimir just lives outside chilling in her tent basically unaware of anyone in particular except the people who make it an effort to make sure she gets fed 😅

This is so cute omg, I didn’t know this but it’s such blessed info! 🥺 It’s much cuter than the original reason why I chose the name, which was related to “Mimir’s Well” in Norse mythology (in which the sometimes-oracular god, Mimir, had a well whose water gave the drinker great wisdom and knowledge; though the god was also morbidly beheaded and would whisper secrets to whoever carried around his severed head)… Fun fact, the word “mimir” is also thought to be related to the modern English word ‘memory’ and is sometimes rendered as “the rememberer” or “the wise one”!

But I like your version better lol! 🥺

Ugh, so true

Hi there, it has been answered somewhere, but if you already checked that tag, I’m too lazy to go hunting myself! 😂

(Edit: Actually, just kidding, it was answered here! Still don’t blame you though, it’s not easy to find! 😂)

Essentially, because Halek views his life as having been unfairly governed by a prophecy that he adamantly doesn’t believe in and heavily resents, he’s not a big fan of Mimir, self-proclaimed Seer and prophetess, who regularly issues dubious-sounding claims about the future with the caveat of “but it may not come true because there are lots of different potential futures and I just happen to see all of them” and stakes a lot on her identity and ability to tell others their futures. She’s just an unpleasant reminder of everything he roundly dislikes and rejects about his life right now, so while it’s not really her fault and it’s not technically personal, he does not like being around her or even in the same room as her. He doesn’t outright comment on this much, so no one’s really noticed, but yeah, he pretty much hates her lol and thinks she’s a shyster.

Thanks for the question, and I hope you’re having a great day as well! 😊

Hi anon, thanks for the new year’s wishes–I’m sending them right back! :)

And good question! Whether or not Mimir says anything to you depends on your relationship to her, so I’m wondering if you were just off by a point or two in your second run: you need 50 or higher with Mimir for her to make that comment, so that’s probably what it was!

Hmm, good question!

I imagine Croelle as the mysterious emissary from a third nation, a real Bad Guy nation that MC’s country has also been at war with, maybe because they took a relative of MC’s (a cousin? ZORI?) as a political hostage and have been keeping them at their court for a few years while the war between countries wages on. MC’s country and Croelle’s country are both now nominally at peace with “England”, which is how he can show up in… Season 3? Mid-season finale of Season 2? and MC has to tolerate him because they’re both on foreign soil, but they’re like mortal enemies because of the bad blood between their nations. But Croelle has mysterious motives! Maybe he’s actually a spy masquerading as a diplomat, maybe he’s a mole in Bad Guy Nation for the Queen but absolutely no one can know about it, maybe he’s an assassin sent to kill MC while they’re unprotected by their own people in London but falls in love with them, who knows… there’s just a lot of political drama and court intrigue going on surrounding him, but MC just sees an enemy and acts super hostile towards him! But the Queen demands that he be treated with civility for reasons unknown to the ton, something that inspires much attention and speculation from the nobles and from Lady Whistledown! If you want to go with a Croelle x MC AU, they can be the enemies to lovers trope to the extreme!

At this point the AU is morphing more into a fantasy court intrigue/court politics story rather than like historical fiction/Regency AU, but whatever lol

As for Mimir, I imagine her being a fortune-teller who’s sort of very beloved and fashionable in the town, kind of like Madame Delacroix. Like it’s very edgy and trendy to go to her and have her foresee a love match or gauge the compatibility between couples, or to even buy a charm from her for good luck in romance. It’s like the newest pastime among the young aristocrats. Maybe certain mamas and hardline conservatives disapprove, but the young people are obsessed with it and are always giggling together like “did you see Cressida Cowper going into Madame Mimir’s shop?? whoever do you think she could have been seeing her for?? perhaps Lord Lumley??” She’d probably get involved in the main story when Shery realizes she can no longer deliver her Lady Whistledown pamphlets to the printer without being noticed, so she visits Madame Mimir instead (as many young ladies do without anyone batting an eye) and passes the pamphlets secretly to her, which Mimir does in exchange for Lady Whistledown writing glowing things about her shop!

Naolin towards Mimir:

Halek towards Mimir:

MC is one of those anime protagonists who can kamehameha stuff into oblivion but has social anxiety scheduling an appointment with the doctor over the phone 😔

Me trying to figure out who [redacted] is:

I’m so happy you love and support Mimir anon! #PROTECTMIMIR

MC gets jealous because Chase is assigning all of the weird, wacky nicknames to cryptid Mimir 😂

Mimir: *drops some insane lore*

Mimir: …ok bye *immediately crawls away on her hands and knees and decides to take a quick nap right in front of a group of strangers*
