myrrh / lavender and sage

asra x reader x muriel

contents : comfort smut, pwp, praise, sub reader, dom characters, ooc, grammar/spelling mistakes probably, super indulgent

a.n. : um.. sorry for disappearing for god knows how long <333 heres a snippet of a smutfic in writing for my bf to make up for it ! i'll probably post the rest when i finish it if this is received well <3

the night is still young, and you sigh as you relax into the many furs adorning muriel's worn mattress, limbs aching after a busy day at the shop. 

asra saunters over to your relaxed form, smelling of herbs and spices and holding a steaming cup of tea, grinning when you open an eye to peek at his admittedly revealing silk lavender robe; it was a gift from nadia, handed over with a knowing glint in her eye. 

"like what you see?" he teases, soothing voice almost gliding over you like butter. he looks gorgeous with the crackling fire illuminating his already-ethereal features. you blink and he's seated on your left, his free hand guiding your pliant head to rest on his chest, before taking a sip of the tea and placing it on the nightstand. "rough day?" he coos, adjusting his tune as you nod and he reclines back, your head still resting on his bare chest; still listening to the steady beat of your hearts. 

just then, the door swings open as muriel hobbles in, shoulders sagging as he beelines it for the mattress, front door swinging shut behind him. the large frame of your shared lover looms over you and asra before he climbs into bed on your other side, relaxation visibly washing over him as he reaches a beefy arm around your waist and softly kisses the crook of your neck. now, it was your turn to ask; "long day, love?" returned only with a grunt from the man tracing his slightly chapped lips along the most sensitive spots of your throat. 

you shudder, and you feel muriel's lips turn up against your skin, beginning to leave open-mouthed kisses against your hot skin as you keen lightly into your loves' hold. asra strokes your hair softly, scratching and massaging your scalp and leaning down to whisper sweet praises in your ear as muriel's arm tightens, hand sliding down to grip your hip.  

asra coos, voice breathy in your ear, before capturing your shuddering lips in a deep kiss. when he pulls back, the hand tangled in your hair pauses and grips the locks as he gazes half-lidded into your eyes, even as you let out a soft moan at the stimulation. "do you want to keep going?" he asks, and even muriel pauses in his ministrations for your answer. 

you bob your head rapidly as his words finally breach your hazy mind. you're so tired and all you want tonight is for your two favorite people to help you relax. "use your words, baby," asra tries again, honeyed tone never faltering. 

"yes--" you rush out, squirming in your lovers' hold. "please." you add, desperation laced in your tone; a soft moan erupting as muriel bites down on the meaty part of your neck.

asra surges into you, slotting his pillowy lips to join with yours and smiling into the kiss. he only pulls away when you can't go a second more without a breath of air, slowly slipping off your uncomfortable garments with deft fingers. he focuses his attention on your now-bare front, trailing lips from your own, down your neck, and suckling on the soft flesh of your chest, while looking into your eyes the entire time. 

you shudder as muriel busies himself with marking your shoulders and back, grinding deeply into the mattress as he lets out near-audible groans of pleasure.

It had been 12 weeks since you’d delivered you and Carmy’s first baby, and your postpartum depression was in full effect. It really had not much to do with your baby, and everything to do with you. You felt gross after you delivered, you barely even wanted Carmy to look at you which he took like a stab in the heart. 

When you came home, it wasn’t really different. Even though showering was…very painful, and you could really use the help and would appreciate that help very much - you couldn’t accept it. The idea of your husband seeing your naked body that you considered to be mangled and gross brought tears to your eyes. The idea of him watching blood run down the drain as you carefully rinsed your mangled bits he used to devour nearly every night made you want to throw up. 

There was still a tiny part of you that believed he did this to you, so he shouldn’t be upset with the result - but somehow that just made you more angry because what if he was upset with how your body looked now, and just wasn’t saying anything? And how dare he not like your body after all you’ve done for him, for your family?! 

You were stood in front of the full length mirror in the bedroom after you showered, observing yourself. You could have sex how, if you wanted. But you had convinced yourself you’d never let Carmy see you naked again in fear he would shriek and cover his eyes and run away, a bit dramatic - but still you couldn’t face the idea of your husband not loving you anymore because he saw what left you have to give after 9 months of hell.

You touch your now jiggly, wrinkly belly, pulling the skin back with your hands and sighing a bit, remembering how you used to look. Tears welled in your eyes, “you’re so fucking vain” you whispered in the mirror. 

“Baby?” Carmy nudged the door open and you shout 

“JESUS CHRIST!!! IM CHANGING! Shut the door Carmen!” 

He jumps a bit at your sudden outburst, a frown coming to his features “why?” He asked and shut the door behind him. You quickly grabbed your shirt, sliding it over your head and pulling it out so it wouldn’t rest over your belly. 

“Cause- cause I deserve privacy?” You snap, angry that he wasn’t just running away like you’d expected him - or wanted him to. 

“Privacy? From…y’husband?” He comes over and rubs your arms gently “baby- are you gonna tell me wha’s up?” He asked. 

Your lip wobbled, more tears coming to your eyes. You shook your head quickly and looked at the floor, squeezing your eyes shut and hot, thick, shameful tears roll down your cheeks. “I’m ruined now” you said, your voice watery and defeated. 

“What?” He wiped your tears and hugged you, rubbing your back “baby what’s been goin on? You haven’t let me see you in months. I miss you, y’know that, right?” He kissed the top of your head as you sniffle in to his shirt

“I- I’m ugly now an-and wrinkly and covered in stretch marks and- and all…different down there. What if you stop loving me?” You burst into sobs. He could barely contain the lump growing in his own throat as he hushed you and rubbed soothing circles into your back. 

“Princess” he said his voice cracking a bit and he led you to the bed, sitting and pulling you into his lap “I could never stop loving you. I would have to be warm and dead to stop loving you. Y’hear me? You, and little dude, are the only things in this world that matter t’me…and maybe the restaurant…but-“ he said, just to bring a tiny smile to your lips 

“Mmm? See there’s that smile” he wipes your tears “what’s been bugging you baby, show me. I promise, I love every bit of you, I love you more every day- I still don’t know how that’s possible, but you make it work somehow” he teased and you blush, hiding your teary cheeks in the crook of his neck as he rubbed your back and side soothingly. 

“You say that but what if you see me and you can’t help it” you sniffled a bit. 

“Not possible honey” he countered. “Cmon- tell me. What’s been buggin you?” 

“My belly. And - and my thighs are so big now. My belly is all…ugh. Wrinkly and has all these red marks on it. And my bellybutton looks all weird” you whine 

“This belly?” He rubs his palm over it “the belly that kept our son all warm and happy n’safe till it was time f’him t’come home?” He asked and you huff 

“Yes but..it’s not…normal anymore” you said and he hums in agreement. 

“Y’right, it’s better, it’s new, it’s gonna take you some gettin’ used to- but I love it. Can I tell y’somethin and y’promise not t’be mad?” He asked and cuddled you into him more, kissing your cheek and hairline, wherever he could reach. 

“Mm” you hummed, sniffling softly 

“Your body now is the most beautiful it has ever been. Because it’s yours. It’s my wife’s body, my beautiful Mrs.Berzatto, it’s your belly, and your thighs, and your new different pussy you’re so afraid of” he said playfully in your ear to which you giggle a bit, cupping his cheek and looking at him with tear rimmed eyes. 

“Y’not just lying to make me feel better?” You asked and he shook his head 

“Nope- all the truth babygirl. Why would I lie t’my best girl mm? My only girl” he kissed your lips gently and rubbed your hip over. 

“And - and you really like it?”  You pouted 

He raised his brows in the ‘are you fucking with me’ Carmy way, “want me to show you?” He asked and you felt heat in your cheeks, looking down shyly. “Okay-“ he laid you back on the bed carefully, pushing up your shirt. “I think-“ he starts kissing from your ribs, over your sternum, down, down, over your belly, making it a point to kiss each little dimple and mark 

“I fed you and little boy sooo good while you were pregnant, so these? You can blame me. But I love them as selfish as it makes me” he kissed over your hips. “And these” he squeezed them with his hands “mmm fuck I looove these- I can’t wait to hold these while I’m fuckin’ you mm?” He traveled his hands up your waist, squeezing gently and continuing to ravish you in kisses. 

“And these” he gently squeezed your breasts together in your nursing bra “are fucking amazing. And a literal life source for our boy. An’he’s growin so well. He’s in the 95th percentile, he’s so healthy, and chunky. Y’doin amazing babe.” He cups your cheeks. 

“The most important thing though baby is you. You’re still my beautiful, kind, thoughtful wife. And I wouldn’t change anything about you, not a single fuckin’ thing, hear me?” He kisses you deeply. 

You felt more tears running down your cheeks, but it wasn’t fear or sadness this time that brought them, 

It was gratitude.

Devlog 2024-02-09 (Episode 4 - Part 1 is out NOW!)

It's Friday! And this is a special Friday because it's a RELEASE Friday!

That's right! Episode 4 - Part 1 is now live!

Update Edit: It's also a sad day for my family. I lost someone dear to me this morning, someone even dearer to my loved ones, and my heart is aching with them for our loss. I wish things weren't the way they are. I wish I could do more to ease their suffering.

Project Details:

167,666 words in total. (That's roughly the same length as the first two Harry Potter novels combined)

825 possible choices.

Patrons can get their version over here (win|mac|lin) or here (android), and everyone else can get the full game on Steam or Itchio!

Episode 4 - Part 1 continues the story after the dramatic conclusion from Episode 3.

It introduces several new characters, several new and redrawn backgrounds, several new portraits, several new music tracks, an overhauled story controller, a new free-roam mechanic, a new star system navigation interface, a lore gallery with unlockable entries, a system for players to load custom-made stories written by other players into the game, a seasonal event (Spooktober Heist), and nearly 40K additional words of content (some being intimate content for Kiaria, Lochem and Khalil).

It also includes two very special player portraits! Thanks to the amazing ladies from Wanderlust Games, you can now play your Mah'Abeu as a younger version of Damon or Ayame from Andromeda Six! (Seriously, if you're hearing about Andromeda Six for the first time– You're about to fall in love. Go check them out and support them if your wallet allows!)

We've been working extremely hard to bring this release to you, and while we've added a ton of new things, we would have loved to add more. Sadly, we had to draw a line in the sand and release what was available.

Some of the things that we could add before the deadline that were requested by our beta testers:

MC is more knowledgeable about the Cephilusk.

Added a location hint during free-roam sequences.

Made Kiaria more Kiaria when dealing with current events.

Your Mah'Abue now crafts the notice being sent to the crew.

Several more personality options (with more on their way)

Most free-roam scenes now have the crew members touching on or hinting at the current situation.

Fixed some logic bugs with Sonia's scene.

Adjusted Andreas' scene with an additional choice if he becomes too much.

Added some additional logic and checks to the response you can give when the crew/your LI asks about how you are coping. (Might still expand on this.)

Your Mah'Abue now has more control over how they handle Nikau.

Added Lindi's music track.

An additional intimate scene for Khalil

Some of the things that we couldn't add before the deadline that will be added very soon. (over the next week or three):

Implementing some more of the Beta Tester feedback requests.

The start of Tabitha's character arc.

A free-roam scene for Lebeny, along with an additional intimate scene.

Adding a semi-intimate, more risque scene with Matthias.

Adding additional character expressions to some of the free-roam content.

Additional music tracks where there is only silence.

Missing Lore Descriptions, replacing the WiP notice with actual content.

The new trailer for Episode 4.

Some of the things that we couldn't add before the deadline that will be added down the line. (more than a month from now)

Additional backgrounds and characters.

Continuing Episode 4, including the much-anticipated Matthias Elevator scene.

Additional Lore items to unlock.

More free-roam content, more character content (Reyna and more), more intimate scenes.

Character relationship arcs (and intimate scenes) for Raymond, Matthias, Veera and Tabitha as a prioity.

Character relationship arcs (and intimate scenes) for Cephilusk, Andreas and TBD a little further down the road.

As always, despite the hours and hours and heaps of financial resources poured into the project, Infinite Stars is still entirely free! If you like what we are doing and can afford to show your support, please consider joining one of our paid Patreon tiers!

Infinite Stars wouldn't be nearly as cool as it is without the support of our amazing Patrons who believe in us!

If you can't afford to support us, that's cool. We still love you, and having you enjoy our game fills our hearts with joy! If you like the game, share it with your friends or give us a positive review to help with the visibility algorithms.

Have a peaceful weekend, enjoy the release, and go hug one of your loved ones!

Fandom Stuff

I am in a lot of different fandoms tbh. what im mostly focusing on will be different based on my mood. RN it's mostly Chonny Jash.

Fandoms I'm in:

The Magnus Archives <- my hyperfixation rn <2 I go insane over Tim, I miss Sasha, I am Staring at Jon, and Martin is literally me fr /silly.

Chonny Jash/CCCC (Chonny's Charming Chaos Compendium). <- I have a lot of Mind thoughts. I have thoughts about all of them tbh, but Mind thoughts specifically.

Camp Here & There <- SYDNEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY<2222222. thats all i have to say. ALSO ROWAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN<2222222

Undertale & Deltarune. <- Always at least a little mentally ill about both of them, esp Undertale. I would kill and die for Chara, Flowey, and Susie btw

Helluva Boss <- Most active for a day or two whenever a new episode/thing comes out.

Hazbin Hotel <- A reblog here and there. It was okay

Good Omens <- I like Crowley a lot. Put that guy (gender neutral) in Situations

Avatar: The Last Airbender <- Love all of the characters from ATLA tbh. Great show 10/10 no notes

Five Night's at Freddy's <- This was my first fandom! So it has a lot of nostalgia for me. I liked the movie, it was fun. Favorite animatronics are Foxy and Mangle bc I'm basic like that.

Gravity Falls <- Haven't re-watched it in a while but I still hold a lot of fondness and love for it. sitelen tawa ni li pona mute tawa mi (this show is very good from my perspective)

Cult of the Lamb <- I like this game a lot! I think it is very fun and I like the fanart that people make for it. I replay it alot bc ona li musi tawa mi (it is fun to me). #1 Shamura lover btw I would kill and die for them. if I was a character in the game I would be one of Shamura's disciples, just so we're clear

The Owl House <- When the Owl House was coming out Hunter got a chokehold on me and forced me into a hyperfixation on the show face-first.

Other Stuff

I am physically incapable of shutting up sorry (i am not sorry). Unless I get locked in gay tumblr baby jail (hit the post limit), then i shut up.

As you could probably tell from the other sections, I know a little Toki Pona. My Toki Pona is not very good so please forgive me if I say something incorrectly. I may sometimes throw some of it in tags n such to practice.

I reserve the right to call things kijetesantakalu that are not technically kijetesantakalu based solely on vibes. foxes and seals are kijetesantakalu tawa mi

AO3 LINK -> HERE

Notes: Hello, hello, hello. Welcome back to our fics. We decided to make our speciality/favourite reader once again: inhuman. Reader is a doppelgänger. They are gender-neutral (they/them) and the doorman. Title is from the song: Guts by graveyardguy. Comments are appreciated and sought after.

@rppik (editor/co-writer): this was my monstersona awakening hope you fucks are happy,

Before the outbreak, you never thought you’d have the chance to infiltrate the human race. Your very creation goes against all humane ethics and the deceptive morality therein. When it comes to their pursuit of scientific advancements, government protocols and principles regularly fail to limit their ambition or the lengths they will go to. With their greed for results, you’ve become a lurking by-product of their hard work and study, just like many of your kin.

To mimic another is forbidden by the humans but praised graciously among the Doppelgängers. To be a carbon copy of these pitiful creatures, fooling everyone around you, is sought after. Many are killed or taken back to containment for being unable to fool them, after all. Those that fail and have not perished must learn from it and evolve, just as you have; you wouldn’t have landed this job otherwise, after all.

A card slides through the slot, identifying the person across from you. Next to the little plastic thing lies a piece of paper with “ENTRY REQUEST” typed across the top page. You look over the paper, noting that everything looks correct. A glance over the identification card checks out, too.

“So, does everything check out?” Angus Ciprianni asks, sounding quite happy despite the fact that you’ve been stalling this entire time.

“Your neck,” you say, not taking your eyes off him. Or rather, off his neck. It’s all there is to look at through the window.

“What about it? It’s completely normal,” he insists, sounding confident in his words. You stare a bit longer, internally sighing at how stupid your own species seems to be. You can’t help but humour them at times, taking a multitude of moments in indulging in their need to try and fool you.

“Mr. Ciprianni’s neck is not that long, I’m afraid,” is all you say as you click the red button. The alarms sound as you dial the D.D.D to take care of the— quite frankly— stupid issue at hand. A knock at the window alerts you to the finished clean-up protocol. With the grate over the window lifting, you give a nod at the biohazard-dressed agent. You’ve done this dance so many times that there’s no need to even talk with the simple-minded fools; that is, at least, in your opinion.

With the agent gone, someone occupies the empty window, shoving their documents in through the slot. It’s little Anastacha at the glass, staring at you with tired eyes. You give the young human a small nod, looking over her documents. The lack of buzzing under your skin already tells you that she’s not another Doppelgänger.

“Whatever, can I enter? Mmm...” You slide the information into the opening, letting her take her information before unlocking the door for her. It slams shut, locking back up for the next person in line.

The work you do is repetitive. If you were human, you’d have allowed your vessel to work hazily on autopilot instead of being on full alert. Truly, there is nothing but humans to let through and your species being slaughtered in the name of the government’s “justice.” Perhaps if they hadn’t gone dabbling with things they shouldn’t have in the first place, this issue would not exist.

----------------------------

The end of the day approaches, with there being fewer humans to let in as time progresses. You see more Doppelgängers, sending them each to their deaths or capture. It's not a particularly troubling task, as your kind has no fondness for another, unless it’s in the name of some sort of courtship; you wouldn’t know much more than that, as you tend to avoid such topics with the humans you’re in charge of looking after. As far as you know, you have no feelings nor care for such a trivial matter, and neither does the majority of your species.

You’re about to lock up, looking at the pile of clothes and blankets in a pile; it’s too far from the window to be seen. It’s a place you’ve claimed as your resting spot, having nothing else to do other than be the doorman for this human living complex.

You don’t need much, unlike your squishy counterparts; Doppelgängers can survive just about anywhere amongst humans, and comfort or care is not needed in any capacity. The only thing that matters is blending into their way of living, slowly taking over despite there being no real purpose to it. Well, beyond them being a good source of sustenance, and blending in keeping you hidden as you consume them in their entirety.

It’s just as you’re about to click the button to have the shutters come down, signaling the end of your shift, that you get that buzzing feeling.

In front of you stands one of Mr. Mosses’ Doppelgängers, staring at you with pinprick pupils. The dark caverns that are his semicircular eyes and gaping-open mouth drip with an unidentifiable inky-looking liquid; his lips are upturned into a huge, void-like grin as he stares straight at you.

“How can I help you?” Your face is empty of any emotion, unlike your fellow kin’s.

“Hooooonn…” He drawls, still watching you. He leans towards the glass, his eyes still on you. “Hoon hoon hoooooooon…”

You’re not quite able to understand him or his speech. In your time as a doorman, you've never before met a Doppelgänger that couldn’t speak like the humans. He taps the glass a few times, repeating his single word over and over, almost like he’s attempting a conversation; it’s just one you can’t decipher.

“I don’t understand,” it’s a statement that sounds harsher than you intended it to be. You shouldn’t be indulging in this Doppelgänger, especially since he’s not trying to give you any documents or trying to get in. Or maybe he is trying to get past the door, but it’s hard to know with his limited speech.

It isn’t until a bloody mass is pressed against the glass, smearing its gore on it, that it dawns on you that this is not an attempt to kill you or the humans in the complex— it’s a mating proposal.

Doppelgängers do not share their kills with others unless it’s some form of courtship; it’s much more bloody than that of the Homosapien species. One could say that the ritual of obtaining a mate is horrific when it comes to your kind; to woo another, you must give up the most recent kill you’ve hunted and bestow it upon the chosen partner. From there, it’s only a matter of the other’s acceptance or refusal. Acceptance means the mating ritual is complete, while refusal usually ends with one of the Doppelgängers dead at the hands of the other.

Very few of your kin take a mate at all, as there is no purpose to it other than appearing normal in human eyes. There’s also the added factor of Doppelgängers being very picky when it comes to kills they will accept, especially if they’re not going to copy the hunt’s existence entirely.

The semi-mute man on the other side of the glass presses the gore through the slot, more of the blood from it tainting the once-clean space. He stares, waiting for your answer. A small bud of something lights up in your being. It’s not love, oh, no. Maybe it’s flattery? Confusion? Awe at another so much as considering you as a possible mate? Whatever the feeling is, it’s enough for you to take the mass you’ve been given.

You can see the other shaking, perhaps in happiness, as you turn the offering this way and that in your now blood-soaked fingers. You look over the piece of kill you’ve decided is worth the courtship and take a large bite, the fluids flowing down the sides of your mouth and chin as you devour more and more of the flesh. The coppery taste of blood mixed with the sweet flavour of human meat leads to the entire thing being eaten in just a few bites.

You don’t look at the fake Milkman as you click open the door, allowing him the opportunity to enter the building and towards your little office. You have accepted his courtship.

April 26, 2024 Ask the Team Q&A

Below the cut you can find all of the questions and answers from the ask the team Q&A:

Q: I just wanna know if we can restrict outfits and/or clothes based on traits A: I feel like I have an answer for this somewhere, let me go digging know I have one for objects: Can you add tags to objects, so that specific traits interact with them? Rather than adding tags to objects, you add Trait Appeal to the interactions on those objects. For example, if you have someone who has the lifestyle Active, they are more likely to participate in interactions with high Trait Appeal for Active. Interaction tags are used by traits for other purposes, but you can make your own tags, apply them to Interactions, and apply new or existing Interactions to a Lifestyle’s Trait Appeal!

Q: Can we get any more info about demographics? I believe it's been said we can control population settings like gender, orientation, race, etc. Does this also extend to things like traits and income? Is it possible to even extend that to the clothing a certain group of people wear? Also can we set different demographics per region? Per subregion? A: You can control population settings using Population Presets-- Population Presets define a bunch of things like clothes, traits, skills, likes, dislikes, colors, age ranges for the life stages. Then, from the Demographics screen, you can select the proportion of the population for each Population Preset. You can apply clothing to specific groups of people and you can check out Willem’s latest tutorial to see that in-editor! Any demographic changes would apply to your entire population, not specific regions currently, but please do add a request if that’s something you would be interested in.

Q: How many people can you create in the create a character mode? If you cannot create enough for the family you need can you link relationships with other people in the world? A: You can make as many unique characters and save them to your library as you want, however our starting limit for a household is currently set to five people in the character creator– you can add more once you’re in-game. You can also update relationship types in game, either through entering a romantic partnership or going through the mod tools (using Live Edit mode for those who have watched our videos), however we are considering adding more robust options for people moving in and out of households later on.

Q: 1. There's a social media app (Social Feed) in LBY and that's how news get spread around the world. Can we post rumours/gossip on there too? Can they be false? 2. Do things posted in Social Feed affect our relationships with characters we know and don't know? 3. What features most likely won't be ready for Early Access release, but will be one of the first things to get added/changed/improved in Early Access? A: To answer your first question: You can post information that has been crafted to be promotable to social media, including specific actions or state changes (basically things that naturally show up in the timeline). You click on it in your timeline and hit "post to social media.” The content can be whatever you’d like. For our content, we have kept it "true" to avoid confusion but this is absolutely something that modders/creators can use to create chaos gremlin content, like scandalous lies.

Q: If we can ask more than one question, I have another two I'm interested in. No problem if it's just the one question per person. 1. What is the "Markets" section in the mod creator? 2. I've seen postboxes in a few videos now. Are they functional or just decorative? A: For your first question on "Markets": These are in game markets for creative careers like writing, where you can edit the demand/pricing around products. For example, a market might be Science Fiction Novels or Romance Novels, and the markets will go up and down and have a demand/price which changes over time. An important note: We have unhooked our first creative career (Writer) for the start of Early Access, as it requires new UX and some polish. However, we hope to test and edit this feature alongside you all during Early Access! If you’re looking for how to set up a shop, there is a Stores editor in the game right now, which you can use to edit or create new store lists available in online stores, through in-game store displays, and at cash registers. You can actually hook a store up to the object of your choice.

Q: One of my main question was asked that Rocio said she'd look into 🙂 yesterday about would we be able to build worlds in Unity engine them port them into the game? Outside of that, I'm curious if there's a medical system planned that could link to hospitals in the future? A: For your second question, on a medical system: We are currently focused on other priorities for the start of Early Access, however we will be balancing community requests for specific content like hospitals, based on what’s most highly requested. Definitely drop anything you’d like to see in the requests channel!

Q: How many subregions can we attach to one another and what is the largest map size for one region? A: Right now each region is its own map, however, due to their size, we have multiple “towns” in our first region, which serve as subregions. We'll go into further detail on this in future videos, but creating your own from scratch, which I think you're referring to, is separate in Unity and will be a big ol' guide post-Early Access launch. And for anyone reading this and wondering what we're talking about, check out our rundown of regions here: [lby-general-chat channel linked]

Q: What is the feature you're most proud of? A: We conferred for this one and ultimately, this is going to differ depending on who you ask on the team– however, in general: building a living, breathing open world was one of the biggest challenges that we took on as a team, and ultimately is something that everyone has put hard work into. We had to overcome a lot of technical, art, and design challenges to make the open world work on so many levels. Humans had to simulate, build relationships, collect and share social information, go to work and be believable, and so on. Basically, every little decision we made was impacted in some way by the open world. That is probably our biggest accomplishment as a team, but I'm also open to going around asking everyone individually if you are curious

Q: Have you thought about some iconic lore for premade families already? If so can we get a little hint about who they are A: We are working to add lore to the game (as you all have requested), however we're starting off by testing out a few environmental ways for us to introduce lore. While we don’t have any premade families yet, we are talking about some characters to start populating the character library at the start of Early Access, so please let us know if you have any requests for types of characters!

Q: Can you save characters to a library or similar so you can use the same character in multiple games? A: Yes! This timed really well with our most recent modding video where Willem shows you how. In case you haven't watched it yet, you can find Willem’s most recent video here: https://youtu.be/TBnlVLIGN8M

Q: The team constantly monitors feedback on social networks, often there are players with unjustified criticism, is the team satisfied with the feedback? Because it affects the release of the game A: As the community manager, I’m happy to answer this one! Something I learned early on in my time as a community manager is that criticism typically comes from a specific place of dissatisfaction. While the feedback itself might be unclear, the feeling behind it isn’t. So my job as the community manager isn’t necessarily to say ‘Players don’t like X’, it’s really to say why don’t players like X. If someone doesn’t like something because it impedes their gameplay, because it lowers their enjoyment, because it’s not intuitive– those are all different things to solve for, scenarios for the team to tackle. The tldr here is: I’m always happy to receive feedback! I would always much rather receive feedback that needs a quick interpretation from me than receive nothing at all.

Q: For the requests channel I wanted to know if the team would you prefer more singular specific requests? Ex. "I want beanies and pom pom hats" "I'd like to have baseball caps" "I'd love it if we could have bonnets" Or would you rather fewer requests but with more detail? Ex. "I want to see all kinds of hats. Bowler hats, top hats, fedoras, and berets to name a few..." I just want to know what the team would find most easy to go through, so that our requests are as constructive as possible. A: This is fantastic question, thanks so much for asking! To be honest, I think the most helpful for us would be to be as specific as possible-- Some folks may ask for specific things that are more/less popular than others and it's easier for us to digest and understand which when it's a more focused request.

Q: Will we be able to mod the number of traits to be more than 2 per category if needed? A: Currently it's capped at 2 traits per category, however if you find that you need more, please let us know in the ⁠requests channel.

Q: Will it be possible to have different stores attract (or repel) different people based on various things like age, likes, career, attributes, wealth bracket etc? So for example maybe you have a hot topic type store with only goth/punk clothes that attracts teens or goth/punk characters and then you have an upscale avant garde clothes shop that attracts rich customers or those with a snob/posh attribute. Would that be possible? A: Yes, however not something we're currently testing with. Character autonomously shop, so a store with only Teen clothes would only be used by Teens. But we need to dig deeper on this during Early Access to make sure we cover your suggested cases. Which we love by the way!

Q: Hi, you mentioned previously you can only create 5 at a time in character creation, how will this work with big family’s such as parents, children, aunties and uncles and grand parent living together and having that relationship tie ? A: Great question! You can add in characters outside of the character creator and assign them relationships through the Live Edit menu currently. We plan on seeing how this works for the start of Early Access and expanding upon it as we add more family gameplay, so we do hope to have more options for you down the road. Expect the Character Creator to get updates throughout Early Access

Q: Will my current characters simulate if I do a 10-year timeskip? Like start relationship, have children, and so on? A: Our current timeskip includes basic life events right now (including death), and it will exit the timeskip for a birth (once those are available). Other events will be added during Early Access!

Q: Hi! Can lots be placed directly next to each other/how close can they be placed? And can walls be placed on the edge of lots? I want to attempt row houses/dense building areas A: Currently lots can be placed next to each other! Buildings such as terraced houses will require further work during Early access (because lots overlapping or touching can look a bit odd). But yes-- you can customize Lot sizes, place them right next to each other, and place walls/objects on the edges.

Q: What is the population limit per region? A: Population is currently set to 90, but that number may evolve through early access. Population is a key performance driver, so we will include recommended population levels for folks with lower specs. This is a configurable value, though it comes with the caveat that it will impact performance. Things like the number of beds in the world and lots will impact how many people organically visit the town over time and how the town is populated, but you can add/remove those as you see fit!

Q: There's a social media app (Social Feed) in LBY and that's how news get spread around the world. I got a few questions about it. 1. Can we only post information we've seen, or can we post things other characters told us that we haven't directly witnessed? 2. Can we post fake rumours, can fake rumours be posted about us? 3. How do things that are posted on Social Feed affect the humans? A: Hi Vix! Could you split these up into three questions? It helps us when we're going back to answer!

Q: In Life by You will it be possible to run your own business or buy a community lot and also will restaurants, shopping malls, grocery store, convenience store, car dealer, electronics store, supermarket, department store, barber shop, bars, clothing store, motel, hotel, resorts and etc A: You can absolutely create your own community lots and add jobs to them via the editors (like your example of being an "owner"). If you're not wanting to create your own custom store from scratch, you can take objects from existing stores lists and place them on the lot to begin selling.

Q: What would you say the most challenging thing has been in the development of LBY? A: We would say the scale of it. A simulated open world where each object is interactable, plus having the entire game customizable by players and modders, all which with autonomous characters has been a massive challenge. Happily it all came together!

Q: Can you interact with the beach water at all? Such a swimming, surfing, boating, or fishing? A: Water-related activities are not currently in for Early Access, however it is content that is on our designers' radars and will be prioritized once we enter Early Access alongside other community asks. I think you've already mentioned it in the ⁠requests channel, but another good one for that channel!

Q: Can you turn aging off? A: You can currently via console command, we will look into adding aging off as a setting for Early Access! You can also edit your life stages to be younger or older during gameplay or adjust your population using demographics by limiting the age ranges.

Q: Are apartments planned for early access or the full launch? I'm just wondering because I've seen a description on the postbox item that mentioned apartments. A: Apartments aren't currently planned, however it is something we are aware the community is asking for! Like some of the other requests, it will be prioritized alongside those other requests based on what we think the community wants most.

Q: Do we always have to start a new game in the character creator? Can we not just start in a world and pick someone or build first? A: For now, the flow is: you start on a screen where you can select and customize your region demographics, then move into the character creator. Currently you need to go through this flow, but to get around this, you could randomize a character and jump in immediately-- either controlling them or any other person in the world. If you'd like to stick to building, you can also remove characters to build out that way. Noted the request in the ⁠requests channel for this though!

Q: We know about some of your team's thoughts on heavy themes such as nudity, misfortune, abortion and women health (as you are looking at it), Can I ask what is the team's stance on alcohol, smoking (ciggarettes, vaping), light drugs (cannabis) and gambling? Is it something too heavy for the game (even in terms of rating) or is there possibility of adding these into the game? A: We are a PEGI-16 game and will need to stick to the requirements of that rating when it comes to these particular topics. PEGI has specific guidelines around how thse topics can be portrayed. For example, some of this content is allowed by their guidelines but how its is portrayed is crucial. Mods created by others however are not subject to the rating-- just be sure you're tagging your mods appropriately when the time comes!

Q: Does the game come with a calendar where we can add custom reoccurring events to it like wedding anniversaries or some system to track that info? A: The game does come with a calendar system (which you can access viat the phone) which includes player chosen events. Wedding anniversaries are not yet in for the start of Early Access. But a fantastic suggestion for us to add during Early Access!

2023 Reading Wrap Up

Hiya everyone!

So 2023 happened, huh? Pretty chill year, nestled between COVID years and the wild start of 2024 we had in Argentina. So I completely forgot about Tumblrs existence except for Astarion fan edits! Here’s to a better year, productivity wise and every-other-aspect-wise.

Reading wise 2023 was fantastic for me. I read more books by more diverse folks and stepped outside my genre comfort zone (with good results!). So here are the details, with graphs!

2023 Goal Vs. 2023 Reality

Woah woah woah! This year I exceeded my goal courtesy of reading comics. I debated whether to add them to the list or not but in the end I decided that yes, I’d count them, seeing as:

I actually read them and they’re a book-adjacent media (are picture books still books? are graphic novels still books? yea they are)

I’m not competing with anybody so who cares

I don’t want to end up not reading comics because they won’t count towards my goal. Am I an idiot? Yes, a bit.

While on it, my average to finish a book is 6 days - averages are lies, some books I read within the day and one specific fantasy book took the entirety of November!

2023 Ratings

Look at all those 5 stars! Lucky me, enjoying stuff so much lol

It’s rare that I pick up a book without reading the blurb and reviews to figure out if it’s actually a fit for me, and on top of that I’m a positive reader: if the book has anything that works for me it’s likely I’ll enjoy it despite any defects, at most dropping it to a 4. Lastly, like in all things in life, having the bar reasonably low allows me to enjoy most things and not be disappointed all that often.

2023 Genres read

Whenever I pop into a bookstore I’ll beeline to the SciFi, fantasy or horror shelves. In 2022 I decided to diversify my reading by choosing either the winner or one of the runner ups of each genre in Goodreads Choice Awards, but kinda forgot about this in 2023 - still, my 2022 plan clearly made an impact as it’s not a 3 wedges pie chart!

2023 Part of a Series Vs. Standalone

Pretty balanced, but the real question is: did I finish any series? How many of those did I just start and abandon? At a quick glance… I only finished one series (ACOTAR), continued a bunch and started some others. I might have trouble committing.

2023 Author stats

These stats might be irrelevant for some people, but as a lifelong horror fan I realized I was reading mostly white men - decided to widen the pool a bit and it’s a smidge better - still have a ways to go.

2024 Goals

Based on these stats, I set some goals for this year:

Read more books: This one is basic, I’ve been increasing my goal by 10 every year so I’d have to set it to 60 but as I’m now tracking both manga and graphic novels I’m setting it to 90 books. Wish me luck!

Read more books by women and LGBT authors: my favourite genres are unfortunately dominated by white men, so this requires some legwork - for now I already have some women authors I’m interested in and will have to do some more research on authors before purchasing.

Read more BIPOC and non-global-north white authors: I swear I’m not trying to be complicated, it’s just that whiteness is a complicated term when including LATAM - would you say Borges was white or Latin American? Because he was definitely both. So what I’ll try is to include BIPOC or non-global-north white authors. This will also require legwork - small indie books don’t really hit the shelves here in Argentina, so I’ll have to both purchase more local authors and request more BIPOC authored books in NetGalley.

Finish a series: Self-explanatory - I’ll pick one or more of the series I started last year and finish it before starting a new one.

Read more manga & graphic novels: Already started on this one!

If you're still reading, thank you for bearing with me this far! In any case, I hope to use this posts as some form of track record and for accountability :) Wish me luck for this 2024!

Episode 4...

I almost forgot about this conversation, but thought it should be shared here.

This looks like a mess, but I have to post these as screenshots because the original comments have been deleted.

This cruel, aggressive person has been calling me crazy, monster, ill, sick, jealous and 'full of myself'. She has been twisting the truth and spreading lies and slander about me all over social media for years. I can assure you, I'm not any of that. I have no reason to be jealous of anything and I'm not crazy either! I just can't tolerate hateful bullies and liars. This 'adora' is not the lovable and innocent person, she pretends to be.

Never believe anything this rude and vile person and her tiresome sidekick say about me or anyone else!

They seem to have some sort of obsession of my watermarks, they literally drive themselves to the brink of rage over them... because that's all they can complain: I don't post ugly, plastic, over processed content 24/7 but good quality photos and videos. Besides it doesn't matter if 'the watermark is on his body' or somewhere else, it's still a watermark. It's hypocritical to make a lot of noise about something and still continue doing the exact same yourself.

I have been criticizing their work, because Aidan is a beautiful man as himself, he doesn't need their ridiculous improvements and ugly, unprofessional photo and video editing. The collages and videos are tacky and old-fashioned, I've seen those 15 years ago. Their awful plastic creations are a disgrace to this beautiful man, like this photo of Philip above. And I'm allowed to express my opinion as well!

This 'adora' and the tiresome sidekick are the only people who have been causing trouble in this fandom, stealing photos, gifs, videos, ruining every photo and gif with Remini and then whining in their support (FB) group when people don't like or dare to criticize their creations. They have a constant and unhealthy need to bring attention to themselves.

The admins of that FB group speak of 'freedom of speech' and 'freedom of thought' but at the same time the members who dare to disagree are kicked out of their prison-like group. The rest of the members seem severely brainwashed.

(click the photos for full view, these comments were published in mid-June 2024)

Photos 1 ja 2: Strange to speak of yourself as 'her'... And of course they are interest in my work, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this post... So my watermarks are the devil's work but theirs are just fine?

Photo 3: Cringe. Well, the fact is that none of the ATIs are very good at what they are trying to do, they just make a lot of noise about themselves. FYI graphics and videos have been part of my job for over 15 years, so I believe I have a better perspective of these matters.

Photo 5: OMG. More lies. And childish. I've asked people not to share my screencaps and edits from my private accounts. It's scary and sad that someone is so full of hatred... (gif @twelvepercentt)

- - -

I feel so happy and grateful that so many fans of Aidan Turner follow and support me. I don't have any need to compete of who is the fasted and who has more followers, views, likes etc. I just want to share content that doesn't make your eyes bleed.

I'm not going post much about this matter anymore, I'm ignoring most of their BS, but I felt this is something you have to see yourself and to defend myself against these constant lies. I've asked these people to leave my screencaps, edits, gifs, videos untouched but that request has been rudely ignored with obnoxious responses. Any normal person would have understood that request. And if they claim they never remove or crop my or anyone else's watermarks, that's another lie.

Greetings, fellow human. Can I request a one shot for Male reader x Jason Todd (already together) where they are training and while sparring readers hand ends up on Jason’s neck (choking him but not a lot because it’s just training) and Jason jokes that reader has a choking kink and reader says something along the lines of “I never said I didn’t have one” sorry if this is too long (and ignore this if you aren’t comfortable writing it) have a good day :)

The Original Sin - One-shot

Author Note: Thank you so much for the request I hope you like it. 🤍 Tags: implied sex , implied choking kink Pairing :Jason Todd x male reader Word count : 721 Edited - 20/06/2024

Y/n caught the Escrima stick that his boyfriend threw him easily “Look alive” Jason ordered swinging is own training stick with ease and obvious practice 

“Oh, so bossy, I like seeing  you all serious and in training mode” Y/N teased lunging forward with his stick pointing at Jason playfully 

Jason hits his stick against Y/n weapon, a stern look in his gaze  “don’t flirt with me, lower your centre” he demanded, causing Y/n to raise a brow and a flirtatious grin on his face as he did as Jason said. 

 They both get into a fighting stance Y/n holding his  weapon in front of himself ready . Jason  moves quickly hitting Y/n stick forcing him to step back. Jason followed after him hitting it again this time Y/n Met his swing the sound of their weapons hitting against each other fills the room. 

Y/N met Jason’s swing stopping it from hitting his, Y/N quickly changed the direction of his swing moving forward causing Jason to have to move back to blocking his harsh swings. 

Jason kneeled during a move to take out his legs but Y/n pirouetted easily pointing his weapon at Jason faces smugly  as they both pant “that the best you got babe” He teased smirking at him.  Jason looked at him with glare before quickly gripping the other boy's weapon with his hand and swooping His stick down to knock out his legs but Y/n jumped, dodging it easily . Jason moved and managed to get the upper hand  knocking Y/N down on the mat and took  his stick from him.  “You got cocky, that could have been the end of you” Jason said, throwing both weapons  into a corner.

Y/n rolled his eyes a smirk on his face “I don’t know about that” he said standing up and throwing a surprised punch which Jason dodges ,Y/n throws another one but Jason  avoids it again. Jason caught his arm  but Y/N managed to elbow him in the stomach making him pull away. 

Y/N spun playfully, walking away as he recovered, Jason went to swing at him but Y/N avoided it by ducking and getting behind him, kicking Jason's leg causing him to fall between Y/N legs, his arms wrapping  around Jason's neck neck getting him in a choke hold. 

“told ya babe ” Y/N teased as Jason struggles to get out of his hold. Y/N twisted  so he was leaning on Jason's back. He locked his leg in front of him, caging Jason slightly as Y/N held his face to the ground. Jason rolled over knocking Y/N back so  Y/N wrapped his leg around Jason's throats as Jason held his wrists captive. 

“ you know I’m beginning to think You like choking me” Jason said teasingly panting slightly out of breath as he struggled to keep his grip on Y/n wrists 

Y/N snorted a laugh and  squeezed a little tiger against Jason's neck  with his  thigh  “maybe I do” he said smirking.  Eventually both of their grips loosen allowing them both to roll and get to their feet still breathing heavily.

They both began  to circle each other as Jason smirks "if I didn’t know any better, I’d say you had choking kink” 

Y/n laughed and shrugged playfully “I never said I didn’t ” he said, flicking his gaze up and down Jason with a heated gaze which Jason returned as y/n smirked at him. 

Jason swallowed “that’s fucking hot” He whispered  before walking quickly toward  y/n and pushing him up against the nearest the wall and covering his lips with his own in a heated kiss he swiped  his tongue against y/n bottom lip for entry which y/n allowed him easily. Just as Jason's hand  began to pull up his boyfriend's tank top Y/n pulled away breathing heavily and heated as spoke with difficulty  “Not here Dick will kill us. 

Jason groaned and pulled his hand away from his stomach  “Bedroom” he suggested quickly his eyes staying trained on Y/n lips. The Other boy nodded and pushed Jason away “ bedroom” Y/n said walking away from him, Jason watched him go for a few second before walking after him quickly

          They say that the heart was made to be broken. It was stuffed down your throat in every bad poem you’d had read, in every story that never knew when enough was enough, it was a bitter pill that was overused. And yet, it had slowly started to make sense.

As you laid down in bed with Katsuki by your side, you could feel ice start to form over your heart. It was like frost over a window, and it took less than an hour for the cold to be all you could think of. Why am I so cold, when I used to burn for you?

You’d spoken to Fumikage again the night prior, and it was almost like your mouth became a faucet, and the droplets of words turned to a steady stream which couldn’t be shut off.

He had you inside one of his largely oversized sweatshirts, and you couldn’t have stopped yourself from leaning deeply into his heat.

“You’re so warm,” you’d whispered, leaning into his shirt-covered chest. It vibrated heartily as he chuckled. You’d gotten used to each other’s presence, and, while it had taken a long time, things were so comfortable the first names just seemed to flow. After all, how long can you stay acquaintances with someone you’ve shared a bed with? 

“You know you’d be a lot warmer if you dressed for the weather,” he’d whispered; it hadn’t taken long for Tokoyami to figure out that his new midnight friend was shocked by loud noises. He had many theories as to why, but he never had enough evidence to feel comfortable asking you about them.

“Why would I do that if I have a personal furnace with me?”

“Hah! Sometimes I think that’s the only reason you keep me around,” he teased her rarely, but when he did it would catch you so off guard that you would have trouble getting serious again.

 “No- I keep you around because you’re the only person I think I can really talk to,” you had looked up at the stars, oblivious to the stares he’d leveled on the back of your head. 

If only he could tell you how he felt, he would cherish you like the muse he knew you truly were- he was so much better than the evil spirit you associated yourself with. But, for now, he would have to disguise his compliments as well as he could with friendship.

“You were breathtaking during your presentation today,” 

“Oh! Uh- thank you, Fumi! That means a lot coming from you,” a smile had taken over your face, and it was as bright as the stars you oh-so admired. 

Tokoyami loved it when you smiled. He brought his arms around both of your bodies, and he pressed them closer together, as he rested his forehead on the top of your head, leaning slightly to the side as to not hit you with his beak.

“Aww,” you cooed at him and nuzzled closer to his chest, “someone’s feeling awfully brazen tonight.”

“No, not brazen. Just cold,” He lied. He hated lying, but he couldn’t exactly tell you the truth now, could he? What would he say? ‘I know you’re in a relationship, but I think I’ve fallen so deeply in love with you that if you told me the sky was green, I’d believe you without a second thought, and I’m worried you don’t know how much power you hold over me,’ 

You would freak out, and he’d never be able to hold you again. You would stretch your wings and fly away, as you were already hovering just out of reach. He knew it was wrong, it’s immoral to covet another person’s treasures, but when they treat them like paper-weights, is it truly wrong to try and save them?

He kissed the top of your head, “You’re too good for anyone,”

“Are you anyone?”

“I don’t know, am I anyone to you?”

“This seems like a dangerous game,” you had sighed and turned around to face him. You knew that the moment you looked into his poisonous eyes you’d be hooked. His eyes wouldn’t let you go without a struggle. 

“You’ve never been one to walk on the path of easy decisions and smooth pavement,” he challenged you, daring you- begging you to say something, anything to prove he stood a chance. 

“I don’t know. I feel like I’m taking the easy route in almost anything I do nowadays,” 

He grabbed your hands and held them in his own, “You’re hurting, it’s natural to shield yourself from anything that could harm you further,”

You were rarely left speechless, but with his intoxicating words and deadly eyes, it was hard to form a response worth saying.

“I’m starting to think you’re a bad influence,” You whispered, and you put your noses together.

“Believe me, that was never my attention,” he tilted his head lightly, and he was so close you could feel his breath on your lips; you were sure he felt the same.

You looked from his beak to his eyes. If he had lips you doubt you could have have been able to resist kissing him, but you was given the opportunity to second-guess yourself. 

His crystal eyes shined through the clouds, like the beacon on the pier, they always seemed to beckon you closer. They dared you to sail towards them, it was almost like they held the secret to the world.

“I can’t kiss you, Fumi,” you whispered. You eyes had clenched shut, as you tried to stop the tears that were beginning to show themselves. You can’t do this, this isn’t you.

“Why not?” He asked, his heart was falling apart, and it felt like he was being burned.

“I can’t leave Katsuki, he’s done nothing wrong,”

“He’s done nothing right,” he interjected as soon as you finished talking. “You shouldn’t stay with someone who makes you doubt your worth,”

Your phone rang from inside you dorm. You ducked under his sweatshirt and sighed. 

“That’s him, isn’t it?” He asked. He wasn’t mad, just very frustrated. 

“I think…” You looked away from him, “You should go to your room.”

You left him on your balcony, and you answered your boyfriend. He watched as you shut the door, you didn’t lock it. Did she want me to ignore what she said and go in? Was this a test? Or did she really want me to leave? 

“Dammit!” He huffed before going up to his room. Why did he have what he wanted, what he deserved? Bakugo couldn’t keep you, does he not see how sad you are with him? A real man would leave on his own.

That night, four people cried themselves to sleep. A prince who lost his princess before he even had the chance to pull out his sword, a storm that destroyed the peace-wrecking everything it touched, a lighthouse that only wanted to guide the lost back home, and a white dove that couldn’t stretch its wings- forever trapped in her cage. 

——————————————–

Bakugo’s hand rested on your waist as he slept. You had been watching a movie before he passed out, and he was un-budging. It always shocked you, how he used to keep you so warm.

He would hold you in private, as soon as you had a moment alone he would squeeze you tight like he never wanted to let go. It was such a powerful hug, that it almost hurt to let go. You had loved those hugs. 

Now there were no hugs, no stolen moments. Now he watched you freeze hogging all his warmth for himself. 

Could it be… that he gives his warmth to somebody else? No- you can’t think like that, Bakugo’s not a heartless cheater. He’s not you after all.

But was it cheating? Was it wrong? When Bakugo destroys everything you has created, how can you not learn to lean on the eyes that watch over you?

A soft groan snatched your attention. You looked over to the blonde boy, and he seemed to be stirring in his sleep. You quickly relaxed your body and shut your eyes.

He peered through his eyelids and reached out, running his fingers up your hip and the side of her torso and back down following the natural bend. 

“Babe, I’ve got to go,” he voice was so smooth, he was so close to having complete control over you, and he would never know. 

You hummed in response and stretched reaching your arms up. “Do you have to?” It came out as a whisper, and it was so soft that Bakguo’s heart fluttered hearing it.

“It’s past curfew,” He responded, getting out of bed and grabbing his school bag and jacket, which had been tossed on the floor when they were prepping for the movie.  

It’s now or never, girl! You’ll never get this chance again! 

“Katsuki?” You called out, almost regretting it when you locked eyes with him.

“Hm? What?” 

“I uhhhh,” Don’t lose your nerve, “I want to go on a date tomorrow!” 

“Sure,” He offered, has he always been so casual?

“Really?” It was hard to hide the surprise and disbelief in your voice, but your not entirely sure what you were expecting. 

“Yeah, of course. Why not?” He threw back, as he walked to the door. “Where do you want me to take you?”

“Somewhere sweet. I’d like to be able to hold your hand, so we could take the train across the region?”

“Anything for you. Goodnight babe, be ready by 6 tomorrow, I’ll see you then,”

“I’ll see you then,” 

Once he had shut the door, you started squealing in delight. You ran through outfits in your head, and a bright smile never left your face. You can’t remember exactly how long it had been since he had been taken out on a date, but it had been way too long.

Rejecting the offers that other boys had given you wasn’t something you had anticipated- you’d never thought that highly about yourself.

However, you grew to realize that class 1A truly did care about you, or at least they acted like it. It was strange to think people seek out your company, but the knocks on your door became a constant in your life, you became used to people coming to talk to you late into the night. 

You had grown accustomed to knocks on your door, but recently you haven’t been answering them. You’re not doing it consciously, but your late-night-chats with Tokoyami have taken you outside far more often, and you can’t hear the door from there. 

With the memories of the night before still present in your mind, you went and stood outside. You were out there for five minutes, and you grabbed a hold of yourself once again. You hadn’t felt cold outside for a long time- Tokoyami always kept you warm. 

Is he not coming? Did I ruin my chance to be near him? Can I even blame him for not wanting to be with me?

Though it might be harsh- as all things were when you were talking about yourself- you looked out to the stars, and you couldn’t pinpoint when things became so messed up; it was so sudden, or maybe it was just like that the whole time. 

But one thing was different, Fumikage was different. He was always there for you, he would listen to you- keep you warm. He was so different than what you was used to, and you would be lying if she said that she didn’t love it. 

He was so warm and so present. It never felt like he was shying away from you without reason, and you learned to bask in the light he shined on you, but there are two sides to every coin, and this was no exception. You could never get too used to him, because at the end of every day, you are with Bakugo, and the cycle continued. 

You rested your head on your palm and sighed. Why couldn’t something go right? And just when all apparent hope was lost-

“You know if I’m going to have to stop spending time with you at night, you’re going to have to invest in a sweatshirt,”

And you couldn’t bring yourself not to smile. And Fumikage couldn’t bring himself to look at you. 

“If you could have anything,” you whispered, “If the world was your oyster and you could do anything,” tears started to fill her eyes, “what would you do?”

He paused- the thought had never crossed Tokoyami’s mind. Why was she so strict in how she used her abilities?

“If every time you had said out loud ‘I wish-’ and whatever followed came true, how different would your life be?”

You had never been so serious with your words- and it caught him far off guard. Millions of thoughts ran through his head, and he couldn’t bring himself to say any of them.

“What is it that you wish, princess?” He finally approached you, grabbing your elbows and looking deep into your eyes.

“I can’t say it,”

“Why not?”

“Because,” your heart broke just a little more, “If I say it out loud, and it’s not already true- than I will have ruined one of the most important moments of my life,”

He paused and bit his tongue, “I hope my love is what you wish; because, you possess it completely,”

“I’m dating Bakugo,” you whispered soft enough that he almost didn’t hear it.

“And yet you love me,”

“Who could love a cheater?”

“We haven’t even performed the most innocent act of romance, how could you have been unfaithful?”

“Cheating with the heart will always hurt more than cheating with the body- I've betrayed more than our relationship I took advantage of his trust.”

“Than break up with him, so I won’t make a cheater out of you,”

“You say that like it’s easy,” and to him, it was the easiest thing- he loved you.

“It will be,”

“He loves me,”

“Then where is he?” Yes, it was a low-blow, and Tokoyami knew it. You had told him on many occasions that you wished her boyfriend would stand outside with her in the cold, but Bakugo thought it was stupid and a waste of time. He used to, he’d even met you on one of your sky-watching sessions. It hurt to think that he would use their past conversations against you, but where was he wrong?

“He’s probably asleep,”

“Then you should sleep, so that you may do one last thing as a couple before he loses the title,” The woman he was completely in love with just told him he has a chance, and he will never forgive himself if he ruins this.

“That’s harsh,”

“If love be harsh with you, be harsh with love,”

“Did you just misquote Shakespeare at me?” You couldn’t stifle the small laugh that escaped your lips. Fumikage always had a way to make you smile at the most peculiar of times, and trust him to throw the charged tension for a loop.

“Perhaps I did,” He teased you lightly, and shook his head. 

“If I broke up with him, if tomorrow night I was out here by myself, and every other night from now to eternity, would you keep your warmth for yourself? Would you get sick of me? I’m so fucked up, I don’t even know what a secure attachment style is. How long am I going to hurt like this?”

Tears had regathered in your eyes, and your lips had fallen to quiver. Your body shook, and it would never be known if it was from the cold in the air or the cold in your heart.

“Quote the raven,”

“Hah,” you wiped your tears with the palms of your hands, “You read poetry?”

“Only the good kind,” he thought back, and he knew their first encounter like the back of his hand. Had your lips been as prominent back then as they did now? Were you crying then too?

Your eyes flickered between his crimson eyes, as you searched for a sign, anything that told you that he wanted this too. He stepped closer, and his breath hitched. Was this finally happening?

They were an inch away from each other, and you drew your lip between your teeth, as Fumikage put his forehead on yours.

He murmured your name.

You hummed in acknowledgment, and you locked eyes.

“I love you,” he took a breath in before lacing his fingers into your hair, and he pulled you a little closer, and you kissed. Your shared heat shielded you from the painful cold that was biting at your skin. Time seemed to stop as you basked in each other’s warmth.

Even as his eyes were closed, your crimson lighthouse had finally done their job, you were home. You were hidden by the dark as night cloaked the world. And, in your own little bubble, you missed your ringing phone. And, in their own little bubble, you never heard the storm knocking on your door. 

And so, as the clouds give way and the thunder travels further and further away, the ship had managed its way to the lighthouse. And the princess had been freed from her tower while the prince laid in bed, broken and alone. And the pretty little dove was saved by a raven, and together they spread their wings and flew away.

And, with all things considered, can you really blame a person for getting involved, if it was love? Even if they knew someone could get hurt? Even if the dove is already in a cage, is it really so wrong to want to fly alongside her?

You held Tokoyami close that night, and you stayed together until early morning. Until the birds began to chirp and the owls had fallen asleep, and you finally realized that being in a relationship doesn’t have to hurt to be real.
