I was using this as a reference in my fanfic for Estinien’s backstory and thought it might help others too!

The picture is from this blog page. It is not mine. The blog also has some 1.0 information that might be useful for some writers.

I have been thinking and feeling (and hearing, har har) about Estinien a lot recently, especially his early life in Ferndale, and I have some headcanons to foist upon you all. I'm going to refer to his parents as Ma and Pa.

The Varlineaus were shepherds (canon), though Ma kept a garden (most homes in Ferndale did) with an apple tree. She taught Estinien and Hamignant a lot about caring for the plants she grew. (Estinien's forgotten some of it by now, though I'd like to think his memory could be refreshed.) Ma loved that apple tree and gave it a lot of special love and care. Otherwise she grew herbs, and food that was good for preserving and pickling because...

(More under the readmore)

Ma and Pa's generation saw a really bad winter hit Ferndale. As a result, they were big on preserving and pickling to ensure their family would never face starvation like that. Although Estinien isn't a disaster in the kitchen, his skills are pretty simple. (Sandwiches, eggs, steaming/boiling veggies, etc.) However, he inexplicably retains all that Ma taught him about the pickling/preserving/jam-making process; probably in large part because he always helped her and it was one of his favourite things. This also goes with a oneshot wolstinien fic I wrote in which Estinien remembers that Hamignant's favourite food was pickles. (As in standard pickled cucumbers.)

Shifting to something else a little, Estinien won't kill bees. Wasps/hornets/etc. sure, if he must, but not proper bees. Ferndale respected bees, nigh on revered them even, for their vital role in pollination. One of the other families in Ferndale were beekeepers, and they adamantly adhered to telling the bees. (Basic version: telling the bees is an old beekeeping practice of informing a beehive of major local happenings, especially births, deaths, and marriages. Yes, as in the beekeeper talks to the bees. In the case of marriages, the bees need to be brought a piece of wedding cake. Failing to do this is said to result in misfortune befalling the hive, and by extension, the community. Practices vary by country/region.)

In a similar vein, the people of Ferndale were fairly superstitious. With the population likely being mostly, if not entirely Elezen, they leaned heavily into being "long of ear" as a sign of good fortune and general physical attractiveness. At least once a day, Ma or Pa used to pinch Estinien and Hamignant's ear tips and give them a little tug to "help them grow". It was, of course, uncomfortable and obnoxious, but there was no getting out of it. This was practised across Ferndale.

So TL;DR, Estinien can make preserves, pickles, jams, even pie fillings if he wants (though not the crust lol), he's probably sleeping on some old plant-care/botany knowledge, his parents used to pinch/tug his ears, and he respects he hell out of bees.

Bucketlist concert! Finally getting to see one of my favorite bands live, Billy Talent ! Only their 4th US date since 2016! AND it's at the smallest venue they've played in over a decade! The last time they were in the US, they played in front ~7,000 people. This venue is a 300 capacity room!!

This pic is from the outside of the venue, that's how small it is!

I was going to post photos about my time spent in Northern California, visiting my parents. They live in a tiny town that no one has ever heard of called Ferndale. I was traveling all day Sunday/Monday getting home (from California fog to Michigan blizzards). 

Talk about timing. 

I was literally in Valley Grocery on Sunday, getting supplies to take on my flight back. My parents drove me to the Eureka airport and the Fern Bridge (at the time) didn’t have giant cracks running through it. 

It’s not every day you can turn on the news and say, “Wow! It's deja vu all over again!”

To make matters worse, because the entire area is out of power (and as of yesterday evening there was only one functional road into town from the wilds of Petrolia) I lost contact with them and then the aftershocks hit and ... hearing about the fatalities got me searching for airline tickets (again). Luckily they are alive and safe.

What’s even stranger is that a 5.7 quake struck Ferndale almost exactly a year ago, on December 20, 2021. I was talking to my brother (who was up from L.A. visiting) on the phone at the time. There was a pause in our conversation and he said, “Hey! The Centerville beach cliffs are collapsing!” And now this.
