When ya make wine, you just leave it there for agesssss until it's super yummy. So your brain is like wine.

This must be the most particular reasoning for not feeling guilty for not writing but it actually worked (? Thanks Nonny <3

I haven't written anything in two days...

OC ask meme (or you can just fill it all out yourself for fun…not that I do that or anything)

works for either fantasy or modern settings…tbh mostly just the things I want to be asked about my own ocs

1. Describe your OC physically- what do they look like? What notable features do they have, or what’s your favorite part of their design?

2. What role would your OC fill in a friend group?

3. What is their stance on religion? Are they a devout believer, against the idea of gods, or somewhere in between? Do they make their practice or their opinions public, or keep it private?

4. How do they act when they’re sick, and does it change depending on who they’re around or how sick they are?

5. What’s one hill your OC will die on (anything from a guiding moral position to a strong opinion about combining mint and chocolate)?

6. How did you choose your OC’s name?

7. Lots of people don’t have a favorite food when put on the spot, but what’s a food or drink that your OC would never turn down if someone offered it to them?

8. What’s something that your OC owns that means the world to them? What’s something they own that they don’t like, but can’t bring themself to part with?

9. How do they fare in cold or hot climates, and which do they prefer?

10. Share a sentence of dialogue from your OC that you think represents them well.

11. How are they seen by people around them - family, close friends, colleagues, or strangers?

12. What does their bed and/or desk look like? Tidy or cluttered - are they both the same, or is one neat and the other messy?

13. How do they deal with pain (physical or emotional)?

14. How comfortable are they relying on other people, and what situations would change their comfort level?

15. How does your OC take up space? What do they do with their hands when they talk, or how do they sit in chairs?

16. Point assign D&D ability scores to your OC (STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA; out of 27).

17. What are three moments in their life that impacted your OC the most?

18. If they can or would drive, what would their car be like?

19. How do they connect with the people around them? Love language, how they offer comfort, etc.

20. What kind of clothing do they feel most comfortable in? What kind of clothing do they wear most often?

Related to the previous post, I have no idea how there are so many traditional authors having the problem of one or the other protagonist having no personality, it may be a nasty or inconsistent personality but NO personality at all? It's the kind of thing you have to put in extra effort to get wrong.

Two things I didn't realize how difficult they were until I did them myself; making playlists for characters and writing ambiguous scenarios

[heavyisthecrownif]

is it shitty of me to think and plot for another interactive fiction while i'm still in the process of finishing up the demo for Abyssal Depths? maybe yes. but will i stop? no. i apologize, but indulge me in this. (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ

[heavyisthecrownif]

Maybe absolutely I'm getting ahead of myself but my predictions for the reception of the first chapter go something like this: dad's lore goes brrr/can [REDACTED] be an RO in the future?

[heavyisthecrownif]

Something, something, and if I make playlist and moodboards/pinterest boards of the RO's? (Anything as an excuse not to write /hj)

[heavyisthecrownif]

Wait how does the hair color work ? You said Sasha has black hair and the queen has brown hair but in game crowns hair is selectable and it says they have the same hair color as the queen ?

That's right, when it is mentioned that Kieran's hair is like the queen's it refers to the texture, not the color. I was afraid it would be confusing, I'm going to rewrite it just in case 🫡

[heavyisthecrownif]

Not complaining about your lack of self-control xD

Thanks for update.

Hey, at least this is more harmless than when I make lousy economic decisions /hj

Hope you enjoy the mini update!

[heavyisthecrownif]

Uh, I confused it (I mean eyes) with other IF. It's hair and skin that are customizable. Never mind

Dw! Eye color can be chosen in the next chapter! ^^

[heavyisthecrownif]

What do MC's siblings look like? We know that Dellahn is the image of his father and has the eyes of his mother which are selectable for the player. Somewhere in the game was mentioned that Candelaria has black hair (I assume from her father). What about others?

Dellahn is tall and broad, not as tall as his father as he has yet to finish growing, but he will get there eventually, (for the moment, currently in the game, when he finishes growing, he is the same height as Sasha at a glance) he also has black hair and is the only one who shares the same black eye color as the queen, his hair is curly and he has the roundest doe eyes you're going to find.

Candelaria shares eye color with Sasha, Kieran and Crown, which is selectable, and yep, she has black hair because of her father, her hair is also curly, she is a bit short for her age and sturdy, I would say her eyes are somewhere between monolid and almond shaped.

Kieran has wavy brown hair, almond-shaped eyes and is a little taller than average with a slouching build.

The twins are quite similar to Sasha and the queen except for a couple of features in particular (whose will they be? 👀), Lyrian has black straight hair and Rosette is the same color as the queen and Crown and wavy, I know it's not a real type but I can't say they have anything besides puppy doggy eyes.

I haven't really thought about their skin colors, so I'll leave it to your imagination.

(I noticed that if you choose you Crown to have black hair that leaves Kieran as the only one with a different color 😭)

Thanks for the question!

[heavyisthecrownif]

Wait wait wait anon got a point- because my Crown is a Malautk, and they all sound like divas from the description alone (bonus points for the Wosht'ka)

Oh, believe me, they are.

Incredibly they were even worse in the early drafts but I feared that could be misinterpreted to mean that each Crown had to be limited by the behaviors typical of their heritage and discarded it.

[heavyisthecrownif]

If all if authors don't share the same brain then why are almost all red-headed ROs childhood friends? /j

I NEED EVERY IF THAT HAS A REDHEAD RO (bonus points if they're a childhood bestie)

[heavyisthecrownif]

Ik, ik. I know we agreed that the update with AMAB Crown would come along with the first chap, but for that I had to fix the prologue and I have no self-control so here it is.

It also has something like a thousand extra words between corrections and so forth.

[heavyisthecrownif]

How does Azzy feel about an experienced crown ?

Already answered here and here!

[heavyisthecrownif]

I mean, I expected it, but damn.

Okay, so the first chapter will be out in a week or two.

So, there were a couple of unforeseen events, nothing serious but the launch of the first chapter in the end will be later than I thought
