Psst hey, did you know that "Ravencourt Manor" in Halloween Scrooge is a real place? It's a house called "Ravenscliffe Castle" in our home city of Hamilton, Ontario! It was actually up for sale again recently too... Anyone want to give us $7 million to buy it? 🤣 (imagine the property tax $!!)

different flavours of flirting you've already seen in 3 Seasons 😏 makes you wonder how Briar will flirt... #otome | #amare | #3Seasons

Yuto, smiling with eyebrows raised, standing in the midst of a winter carnival. the textbox reads "I wouldn't rule out a second go, but I feel more secure with my arms around you."

Rye, wearing a sly expression, standing in the spring office. the textbox reads "Well, you don't have to call it a date if you don't want to. I thought you liked bold and direct romantic gestures."

Sol, blushing and flustered. the background is a sunny beach with NPC silhouettes lounging. The textbox reads "Oh! I was staring, huh? I just thought you look great--I mean, it looks great on you... But you also look great."

If you can guess the number I'm thinking of between 1 and 10, I'll tell you some small but ultimately meaningless prediction about your insignificant life."
