Hello, lovelies! I'm sorry for the slight delay on this month's rewards. April was a hectic month in every sense! Anyway, here's the April all-patrons reward!!! 🙈🙈

School plays are a VITAL part of Sri Lankan school culture. TFL takes place in a boys school (We don't have many coed schools in major cities), and that means every role is played by a dude XD 

Sarith's stature guarantees that he's chosen to play the king :3 IDK the big kid always gets picked to play the king. I think he'd make a great king tbh. The crown he's wearing is historically inaccurate. The actual crowns worn by kings are pretty hard to recreate using glitter and cardboard, so they probably ended up making a weird Sri Lankan- Medieval Western hybrid.

Pretty guys like Ashen end up having to play female roles. Ashen is here in good faith, but we honestly don't know how good of an actor he is. 😂😂 Also what's with Sri Lankan costume designers and their obsession with netting? I've got a personal vendetta against using netting in outfits 😭😠Ashen also seems to agree with me and looks like his outfit is super itchy. 

Adhil is a guard because he can keep a poker face and still play his part that way. He can't see without his glasses but absolutely refuses to wear contact lenses, (Just like me 😭) so we have a historical character with some very modern-looking eyewear XD

Finally, Jehan plays the court jester because the dude's MADE for that role. He probably avoided Ashen's fate of being picked for a female role by showing off his skills. His hat is a signature look for jesters, thanks to a famous comedian in Sri Lankan history who rocked that look 💕💕

I might post this for the public if I hit 50K on Webtoons, but for now, this is Patron-exclusive! (And this is high-res because I love you)

This is really cool, and I love the explanation. Poor Ashen does look itchy!
