A Scream In The Dead Of Night. A Missing Engineer. And A Highly Guarded Breakthrough. Something Woke

✨My favorite ship dynamic✨

Henrick from @madeofmagicandblood upcoming if!

I can't with these deliciously written scenarios- I'm- so...somft 😭😭❤️😭😭❤️😭❤️ i wanna hug and love the feck out of them all, squish their cheeks and give lots of kisses

... I'm so sorry for spamming your inbox I'M JUST REALLY INTO YOUR GAME AND YOUR CHARACTERS AND THEIR PERSONALITIES ARE SO-👌😩

Can we have a scenario where someone was insistently flirting with RO (and making them uncomfy) and MC, taking matters in their hand, just strolled over to RO, smooched their cheek while saying something "sorry, my love, were you waiting for me long?"

(in crushing stage, but the crush at this point was reciprocated so much that it was nearly physically painful to watch these two dancing over the topic)

Romancing 💕

Painful romance (featuring the GotD ROs)

Note: It's perfectly fine! I'm actually really happy to have someone so interested in the story and the characters, it really makes me motivated to write the story to completion :D I'll be referring to the flirt as Person A so there's not much confusion. :)

This got pretty long so the rest of the ROs are under the cut :D

Alistair isn't one that really gets flirted with much. He may flirt back with other people or entertain them, but if he's already interested in someone he's definitely shutting down any and all attempts towards him. If in the chance that someone is as persistent as person A is he'd be pretty pissed in trying to shut them down, pretty vulgar about it too. When MC comes strolling over, he'd be even more irritated since he thinks that MC might take this in a different light but when MC kisses his cheek and says those words, this man's going to get an incredible boost of confidence. He'd immediately have his arm wrapped around MC's waist, pulled flush against him and murmur "Damn right I've been waiting long". When he addresses person A, he'd me a little less irked and more cocky (more than usual) and speak to person A in a really formal manner (he's still the heir of course) while lowkey insulting them before he'd pull MC away.

Emrys shows his disinterest in the way he looks and speaks to people. As an heir, he's chosen to not be as crude as Alistair and not as hesitant as P. He'll definitely drop some lines like "I have somewhere to be" or "It would be interesting to talk about but perhaps not now" all the while sipping wine while looking away. He also stands at a distance so to have someone blatantly push themselves onto him, he's pretty much unsure of what to do if he's used all the tips and tricks he's learned to avoid conversations and people; which is a lot, let me tell you now. To have MC come to his rescue, he admits isn't a good look for him but he immediately makes it up by reacting appropriately. "There you are, my love..." He'd whisper. He'd place his hand on the small of MC's back and smile fondly at MC before he turns to person A, he'd address him as coldly as possible. Em can only take so much and he has very little patience with people to begin with so this isn't exactly unwarranted, "I have shown my disinterest in you and your topics. Please leave us be before something unpleasant happens. I am asking nicely this time." Doesn't really wait for a response before he drinks the rest of his wine, gives the glass to a servant before he turns to leave with MC along with him.

P isn't as formal as their siblings and acts based on their emotions majority of the time. This doesn't mean they are good with them. They'd try to be as polite as possible in turning down the person while being direct, even trying to walk away from the situation. They don't really do well with confrontation and are very impulsive so they might blurt out that they're already seeing someone even if MC and them aren't a thing yet. When MC comes to their aid, they're definitely going to melt and be very thankful. They'd try to wrap their arm around MC's shoulder or waist but because of their nerves, they might just hold MC's hand instead. They'd look at MC to have a jolt of confidence before turning to person A and just outright telling them to leave. "I don't like you in any of the ways you're implying. I have someone that I adore and they are the person beside me right now. Please leave... Or else you'll be thrown out." They usually don't use their position as a royal in order for things to go their way as they really really hate being a royal. But, this time, it's necessary. They won't be as calm in their escape since they're literally running through the halls with MC behind them.

Yeriel has had a fair share of people trying to flirt with them and each time they've never really shown any interest in them. That also comes with pushy flirts like person A and they've learnt how to deal with it. Entertain them for as long as possible without promising anything. But it dawns on Yeriel that person A is incredibly pushy and doesn't take any vague answers or replies that deny them of what they want. There are only a handful of things that make Yeriel uncomfortable but this is definitely added to the pile. They'd be really polite in shutting person A down, saying that they're already interested in someone. When MC comes to the rescue, they'd definitely feel relieved. It would take them a while to respond to person A because they're literally just staring at MC with heart eyes and just admiring them, one hand gently caressing their hand that Yeriel unconsciously reached out for. When they do address person A they'll still be polite and wait for them to leave. Yeriel's not budging, they're glued to place, their thumb still gently rubbing over MC's knuckles the whole time.

Flirting is something Seiraya is sure they're good at. So when person A flirts with them, Sei is flirting back out of habit. None of the words they say mean anything though and most are just the cheesy stupid flirtatious remarks that Sei is sure would turn someone off and leave them alone. Bad move, it interests person A more. Definitely bothered and concerned to the point that they'd just do an awkward/nervous laugh at the comments. When MC comes to their rescue, they're definitely relieved. Will be surprised at the gesture though which immediately catches them off guard and they'll end up stuttering a bit towards MC like "O-oh... you're... you're finally here...." Their voice might crack a little too. They'd have to clear their throat, give them a minute, before replying to person A like. "Sorry... You're cute.... Not cute enough though." And boom they're turning their back and pulling MC away from the person and the situation. They're very flustered actually.

In short, please go easy on the ROs. They've never really fallen in love before.

Honestly, if i had a sibling that had been kidnapped and the only possible way to rescue my lil' one would be through other kids? I'd done the same 😔 so yay², K is human, their actions are real and emotions are valid, love them!! (And really, really love that punching them doesn't gain hate-relationship, as one can be angry but, after knowing why exactly K did so, one can sympathize)

Oh, A, baby, no...😔 One of my MC's are gonna treat her right!!! She deserves the world.

Lex is a douchebag. Deadass! M is so worried and anxious cause of his powers, my darling😭 (to create such a brat that can gain a dislike of readers just through a small dialogue and scene? That, my friend, is an art)

Thank you for the chance to punch K and then romance them immediately 🤣🤣🤣!!

Can I request 4 and 6 for the ROs?:)

Haha! Thanks for giving the story a read. I was pleasantly surprised on how popular K was as a RO. I was worried that readers would say "That's the person that used me. To the stake you go K." But I'm happy to see all the love K is getting.😍

4: What is their favorite book?

Oh boy! That's a hard one for L. Reading is their favorite hobby...

L: The War of The Spider Queen saga with R.A. Salvatore as editor.

K doesn't read much but when they were young they read that little book named The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein and they really liked the story.

A is another one that doesn't do much reading but her favorite movie is Legally Blonde and I am unsure if she knows that it is based on a book by Amanda Brown.

M doesn't read. jjjkdsdsdfgf! He is a big fan of wrestling and he will read anything about Andre the giant.

Z will read any books about spells and any inspirational books about power. Favorite book: The Art Of War by Sun Tzu.

6: Have they ever been cheated on?

L: No, since they have never been in a relationship.

K: No.

A: Yes, all the time. Most of her relationships.

M: Yes, one time and it was Lex. But M thinks he deserved it because of what he did to Lex.

Z: Not romantically, but they like to think that their parents betrayed them.

all of my genshin paintings in one post! because why not! 

A woman’s “poesy ring” with initials, from 1592, made of gold and rock crystal. On the ring’s inner surface is inscribed, “The cruel seas, remember, took him in November.” From a love token to a memorial/ mourning ring, a fate that often befell many wives or mistresses of sailors. 

the interactive fiction community really needs to learn some lessons about respect and boundaries istg.

first y'all complain about characters romancing each other outside of the mc, then you whine about characters sexualities not matching what you wanted, and then some of you have the gall to throw around unwarranted plagiarism accusations toward authors who are offering free demos on behalf of a paid author who's very work is littered with tropes and who didn't do anything truly unique with their own story except build off pre-existing tropes.

now some of you are harassing an author who is trying something new, who just wants to have a little fun with the interactivity part of interactive fiction?

i am begging some of you to please grow up and learn some common sense. don't like the premise of this game? then don't play it. find something else to play and move on. a lot of people on your dash are blogging about it and you don't like that? blacklist the tag or unfollow them!

sending these authors anon hate or whiny, entitled asks trying to guilt them into feeling sorry that they hurt you (newsflash: they didn't!!) by simply telling the story they wanted to tell is not only childish, it's also extremely rude and absolutely unnecessary.

these authors are sharing their work with us, often for free, and no one is forcing anyone to read or play anything. engage with the content you want and ignore the content you don't like, it's not that difficult of a concept to understand.

high school is soo funny in hindsight. the entire time you're there thinking it's the most important period of your life and then the second you're out you're like well that was fucking stupid

this is gonna sound stupid but i’m amazed at baby capybaras bc they really truly are baby capybaras. there r so many animals you guys. so many where the babies look like tiny primordial creatures compared to the mature ones but baby capybaras r just little capybaras. they just start out like that. you know what i mean
