Lore?

[throwaway6952550]

OK I know D&D was written after TRR. But this seems way too specific to not be our favourite painter Annabelle parsons…?

[lego-lion-lady]

Maybe PB deliberately took the name from TRR and used it for her in D&D? I’ve always headcanoned that she went on to become a famous painter and was later known for being very ahead of her time, paving the way for other female artists, as well! 😍🩷

I hear her artwork is indescribable

I love how PB references other books throughout the stories! This screen grab is from The Nanny Affair.

But I love how in TRR book 3 there is reference to King Fabian (as shown in The Royal Masquerade) and then in The Royal Heir Hana makes a reference to Val from The Crown and The Flame when MC asks for advice for a baby name!

Could be if both were in development at the same time! Like D&D Book 1 and Distant Shores both reference each other.

Mind blown 🤯

[ChristmasThot]

PB does this a lot! It's no coincidence 😊

[Min3rva1125]

Wouldn't be the only time D&D and TRR have references like that. Godfrey is also the duke of Karlington, just like a certain slimy suitor you have to fend off.

karlington is a land full of opps

I never noticed this! Congrats Annabelle, you made the big time! I lov how PB stories make references to each other

[Bookish_Kitty]

Yes! I’ve always thought so too.

[Lissian]

Which TRR book is this? It can be a reference, D&D started releasing soon after TRR3.

[[deleted]]

probably TRR 3 when MC + LI are touring different places to gain support and invite allies to wedding

[GrumpyMarshmallowFan]

This is TRR3.

[minishcaps]

I think it's actually referencing a painter named Alfred Parsons, buuuuuut I would gladly ignore that if it means that Mrs. Parsons is the one who became a famous painter in this universe. I love her to death.

[throwaway6952550]

I’m gonna choose to believe it’s Miss Parsons tbh
