#I WAS NOT EXPECTING THESE TO BE SO LONG but yknow i shouldnt be surprised. this is HERMIE were talking about

[hermanunworthy]

❤️‍🔥🧸 for hermie!!

OH GOOD CHOICES

❤️‍🔥 romantic hc: hermie fantasizes more often than theyd like to admit about being carried bridal style. at first they think their fascination w the pose is bc they wish to be able to lift someone like that onstage, thinking that being able to literally sweep someone off their feet would make for a wonderfully romantic scene in a play. they ask for help learning how to do it from normal one day (only bc they know hes on the cheer team and can easily lift people, no other reason), but after hermie tries and fails to lift a costume mannequin that isnt even that heavy, normals just like "ur being too awkward w it!! u gotta do it like this!!" and lifts hermie up effortlessly and hermies just like. oh 😳. hermie from then on is like "uhhhh well now u gotta keep teaching me" even though they know theyre probably just not strong enough to learn how to do it but it leads to them practicing how to do that and then normal ends up showing them other tricks and stuff and hermie tries to teach him stuff too and it basically leads to them learning to dance and stuff together and hermie slowly realizes oh they just really like being held. by normal. WHY DID I JUST END UP WRITING AN ENTIRE OAKWORTHY FIC PLOT WHAT fellow writers get on this ‼️ (bc i have too many other projects to do)

🧸 childhood hc: hermie discovered their love for dc when they decided to ditch class one day back in sixth grade. they were like "hehe im so sneaky and dastardly for not doing as i was told" but really all they did was sneak to the school library. but they were like "im not gonna read regular boring books.... im gonna read the books w PICTURES" and then picked up a batman comic randomly. at first they were just happy about the fact that they were breaking a rule but then as they read they realized they were actually getting really invested in the comic. becoming particularly fascinated w the villains. they ended up coming back to the library during lunch every day and just eating lunch in there (since they didnt have anyone to sit w anyway) and reading batman comics. if they werent able to finish one during lunch then they would just smuggle it in their backpack and take it home w them. they realized they actually liked reading them at home better though bc then they could pace around their room dramatically reading aloud. they never ended up taking them back either so their entire comic collection at home is just stolen books (their parents tried to buy them some of their own to try to discourage their theft but they threw them away bc "those ones dont count")

everybody is so hyped for only friends and I think I am too but I am also scared? because it is way too hyped, it can't live up anymore? And I know many people look forward to the red flags and all but I do enjoy a healthy relationship like aye and akk, but I am still looking forward to it but also I am very scared. And like i need my happy ends lol and I want first and khaos character to end up together just because they have an insane amount of chemistry.. I don't know. I am scared.

i mean, i get that to a certain extent but frankly i think the hype makes it more fun. everyone is so excited about every little detail it’s nice :’) i like seeing people lose their shit. maybe we’ll be disappointed but maybe we won’t! and wouldn’t that be lovely

id say based on everything were being given going into this expecting any of the relationships to be healthy is a fool’s errand lmao. again, we take em as they come & perhaps get pleasantly surprised

the ending…. i dont know nonny i think it’s too soon to say. basically, we barely have anything to go on right now so it makes sense people are defaulting to thinking of their actors but. sanray aren’t firstkhao! firstkhao will still promote together n be friends no matter what happens, and we’re here to see them do sexy sexy drama, and so how that drama ends up matters only if we eventually think sanray deserve it. yknow?

personally. my dreams for sanray is like….. san (who is, according to first, very forthright abt his feelings) leaves as we see in the trailer bc he’s sick of being second place to smth that’ll never happen, and then ray gets in trouble / needs bail or whatever and san comes to help him despite everything and ray apologizes (per khao saying he grows a lot) and they try again, for real this time, as scary as that may be. and also san should fuck other people to bother ray in the early days im a big ship mixnmatch advocate. like haha if we’re just fwb then this shouldnt bother you :’) but it does of course it does. i WANT that longing look across the club that you know youre not supposed to be giving dynamic

i dont know if “don’t be scared embrace the chaos” was the response you expected from me, haha. i’m sorry nonny! im very excited for only friends :’)

IN CONCLUSION: WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH LETS TURN THIS SLAPPER UP

[isaacathom]

god im thinking about so many stories now... tdoc could be pretty fun, especially if the soul loss ‘mechanic’ is clearly established. youd get the one by accident (the mentor at the beginning who had previously killed a demon lord), then probably one of the protags later deliberately, because the reaction of a soul being spent would distract The Fuck out of the demon lord, and they were willing to pay the price if it meant the demon lord would die.

third time would presumably be the team up on the demon king where a group decide to all go together, hoping their combined soul will be enough to weather the impact killing such a powerful demon would cause. it does stand to reason that the impact of killing a demon king would be far stronger than killing a mere lord. so i feel like on the one hand, the team up should work, but kill all the participants, who get maybe a few moments in the aftermath to look at each other and the reinforcements and know they did it. like. demon lord saps more than half, right. lets say... 60, for sake of example. hence why tryig to kill a second one a) doesnt work and b) causes such a powerful reaction - you burn through your soul and it fucking explodes, almost.

so, say theres... 4 demon lords. and 3 heroes (as the 4th hero expended their soul to ensure the death of one of the lords, having killed either #1 or #2). each expending 60, they have 120. or if its 75, they have 75 of a soul. so either the king takes double, or the king just takes a full 1. if the former, the trio are dead no matter what. the reason they’re still able to kill the king is because of the soul reactions, which still deal damage, which means that the amount expended is... less? sort of? like, trio stabs, they get 30% in, n1 explodes and takes it to 40, they get 65 and then n2 takes it to 80, and n3 takes it home and their explosion seals the deal. all roughly simultaneously, but you get the idwa, right.

however, if we assume it only requires 1 full soul to take a demon king down, then the 120 version has a chance to make it if their souls are weighed as 1. which is also neat! thats the other hand! i like the idea of the trio surviving with the barest sliver of a soul each, dazed and in pain on the floor of this kings throne room, victorious and alive. unable to really appreciate what theyve done because theyre convinced its the end, that with each flutter of the eyelids the void approaches. passing out exhausted together at the foot of the throne, content in the knowledge that they won, and waking up confused some days later with no understand of how or why they were allowed to live. itd be guilt inducing a little, to know that if theyd teamed up with that 4th hero to attack the dragon, they wouldnt have died there, in that city that wasnt their home. but how would they have known that it would work? the choice to team up with pure desperation, the decision to injured warriors trying to gain something out of their seemingly inevitable defeat. their friend would not begrudge them the knowledge they had gained.

and idk! i guess it would depend on what kind of vibe the ending should have as to how fatal the attack should be. the worst ending, emotionally, is the one where only one of the trio makes it out, because while that makes sense if the final attack is viewed sequentially, like with the dodgy math above, it doesnt FEEL like that in the moment. so the survivor would feel like something is deeply unfair. and that stuffs interesting, but i feel like the survivors guilt-y angle can be explored just fine with the ‘trio survives and feels guilty about h4′ and its less... depressing overall. since killing the demon king shouldnt really be depressing. i feel like survivors guilt on that kind of scale is fucking depressing, if you catch me. it sort of sours that victory even more. if all three live, they can at least console each other. if only one lives, theyre alone in that experience. that fucking blows. i dont wanna write about. and while the ‘they all die’ ending is sad too, thats less depressing and more bittersweet. pyrrhic, etc. that feels like a sacrifice, done knowingly and with intent. not... by accident, or intentionally except one of you fucks up (sort of). right?

the two endings of ‘everyone lives’ or ‘everyone dies’ are good, i think. theres strength in both. itd be a matter of the tone of the rest of the story. and i feel like i gravitate towards sorta... lighthearted? not like joyous, at least two people are straight up dead here, but like... aware of joy. seeking joy. and that could go both ways for the ending! because there is a joy in victory, even if you don’t get to benefit from it. and the trio wouldnt, if they die there in an exhausted heap. but they won. and thats enough. and theres joy in that! theres a joy in knowing youve done well, and others are free. but the thing is that even if the trio live, they are convinced they wont. they all pass out on those stairs. i could even fucking fake out the audience by having the nex chapter from another character (preferably one who has been introduced previously as a friend or some such) a day after the kings death, where the trio arent mentioned until near the end when that friend goes to visit them. or something. it could be a fun fake out, but not purely for the sake of fucking with the audience, since it would mirror the assumptions the trio made when they committed to killing the king. they committed to dying together, successful or not, and they fully expected that they would never see the free world they made. they almost certainly imagined that freedom many times throughout the story, and especially at the end. the surprise is theirs as well. i think thats neat! though the fact the trio survived is probably telegraphed by the fact there is a chapter after their sacrifice at all? since ending on them collapsed at the throne feels like a fitting place to end it if they didnt make it. or even if they did! leave that idea hovering in the air. i dont know! i like the idea of exploring some of the immediate consequences of their success (such as the fact that island is almost certainly gonna vanish beneath the waves now) regardless of their fates. the destruction of the building they were in. all these bits. how everyone else finds out the demon king is dead, that sort of thing. that stuff is interesting, even if the long term effects arent going to be explored. the aftermath is interesting.

idk! i guess i just wanna explore what victory means? to both those who achieved it themselves, and those they did it for. so their ‘death’ would cover what they felt about their victory, their weariness and their elation, etc. and the chapter thereafter (essentially the last one) would be what the victory meant to their loved ones, regardless of whether they made it out. if the 4th heroes family/friends remain involved, including them would be especially important for highlighting the loss in winning, and even the friends/etc of the trio who did it, because even IF the trio made it out, theyre still out cold, souls and bodies drained. yknow? thered still be that threat in the air of will they die anyway? will all the soothing tonics and gentle hands in the world be enough? noone knows. everyones probably convinced that if they survive still, theyre at deaths door, hanging on out of stubborn desire to see their victory just once, but lacking the energy to make that happen. futilely trying to wake up. yknow? since many of those people would be familiar with the soul depletion thing, given the death of the mentor at the start of the story and the death of the 4th hero during its middle. noone has any reason to believe theyll survive, even if they really want them to. so if the chapter ends with that friends going to visit them where they lie in the hospital, sitting by the bedside of one and stroking their cheek and telling them gently of all the light theyve brought, and then that quiet soul stirs and gazes wearily at that friend, thats a surprise for everyone. it still means something. that the story would end very shortly thereafter, probably with a final line from the friend with some ~gravitas~ (like, yknow “you won. we’re so proud of you”, which i think works on a couple of levels) still leaves things open, its not unambiguously positive, but there joy there. theres satisfaction. theres a sense that no matter what happens to the trio, they Won.

god idk im just feeling gay as fuck thinking about the ending even though the friend is almost certainly not dating any of the trio, its just. the vibe. of adoration and respect. of that tenderness. god. its 1am it hits different at 1am to think about that kind of thing. god.

i gotta stop but this shit fucks

#My life in a nutshell

Now its time to finish up Luke’s route in Red String of Fate, woo!

I missed screenshotting it, but there’s a bit of a Really Cliche Romance Novel Scene where protagonist faints from overwork and Luke catches her and stuff. i was surprised they didnt give us a big CG image of that, though!

Really fuckin creepy line that someone thought was romantic: 4

OH COME ON!! JESUS! Like she’s FINALLY realized that he loves her, and she’s been all ‘oh no i must resist feeling the same way’ and we’ve had like three scenes of ‘oh no just being within one metre of each other makes it hard not to kiss’ and just COME ON! STOP BEING AN ASSHOLE! Like, its not that she somehow owes him romance because he saved her from fainting or whatever, but its been clear for an hour now that she actually recipricates and is just like ‘but i would NEVER BE HAPPY WITH HIM because DESTINY SAID SO’ And now you’re having crazy freakouts of over the top romance drama because he HELD YOUR HAND WHILE YOU WERE SICK, like seriously just get it over with already this is like Fakeouts: The Story! It would have been fifty hours shorter if they just talked honestly with each other and GAVE UP THIS STUPID DESTINY THING. And yes I know its only like two hours long! i would have fuckin regained days of my life if they goddamn talked about their problems

Also its really repetitive how they keep having like.. one scene talking together, then almost date, then get embarassed and run away, then are angry at each other for a week, then they become friends again, then it repeats...

Also a minor continuity error cos she said earlier that she never knew her grandparents, when she met his grandma

AND THEN FINALLY JESUS CHRIST THEY START TALKING ABOUT THINGS Tho I’m kinda pissed that its STILL not her realizing her mistakes! Instead he confesses first and he explains why she’s wrong and then she’s like ‘oh no i cant believe you’ until he makes an impassioned speech about love and stuff. Like can you just apologise to him for being so weird and rude about destiny?? It sucks cos the protagonist clearly isnt meant to be a rude person and overall she isn’t, it just feels weirdly OOC whenever she suddenly has these rude moments that the story doesnt seem to recognise as rude...

Aww but man I still got the feels at the big confession scene, yo I feel bad I’m judging so much of this game so much!

AWWW COME ON Seriously Luke AAAA he’s so fucking understanding and nice here ‘lets try dating and if you still hate me because destiny then i’ll let you go’ I just feel super sad that he HAS to say this, it feels like he’s being a total doormat and he’s like.. had to make peace with the idea of horrible tragedy sadness, when he shouldnt have

YES, FINALLY, GEEZ, THANK YOU seriously I am SO relieved that like.. my criticisms of the plot were all INTENDED AUDIENCE REACTIONS by the writer! that it actually does criticize Destiny in the end, and she hooks up with a not soulmate! Even if it is a little bit funny that ultimately the red string didnt have any purpose in the plot except to be a barrier between her and a rather ordinary romance plot.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO oh come on why did that last line have to be there he doesnt need to prove anything! he wasnt the one who was in the wrong here!

awwwwwwwww I am still really happy at the happy ending, damn... Even if it was frustrating that she’s still doubting if they can be happy right until the end, I’m glad it cuts straight to six years later and them being FUCKIN HAPPY AS FUCK, YO Also i always love when a happy ending in a dating sim isn’t JUST them getting together, yknow? I love that it says that he became a successful poetry writer and she became a famous journalist writer and they are like the ultra writer couple of joy and talent. WOO!

And then the bad ending route is... a little odd? Like no matter if you pick all the wrong options and be a total jerk to him, the bad ending route is just ‘we’re just friends instead’. And even though they’re ‘just friends’ the plot plays out the same way, right down to her eventually realizing she’s in love with him and vice versa. Like they don’t actually get to be just friends, its just the same plot with her turning down his confession Because Destiny. Also its very odd that the entire plot branches at such a weird point! Two entirely separate routes for the two boys, separates off at the very first choice you ever have, which is a really random thing you wouldn’t expect would make you destined to end up with some dude. I didn’t go to Aaron’s party, thus I never saw aaron again???

But I do like that Luke takes it well and protagonist tries to let him down easily. I was worried there was gonna be a more cliche angry bad ending thing where turning down a guy means that you can’t ever be friends again. I like this! I can still feel sad for him without being expected to hate the protag for not loving him!

But its also super sad that in this ending protag never realizes she was wrong, just because she never finds a boyfriend. like, you couldnt still listen to your best friend’s big impassioned speech about screw destiny?? So its super depressing seeing her going on with her dumb plan to fly all across the world and try and find some stranger with the other end of her thread, who probably doesn’t even speak the same language and would think she’s a crazy stalker... And like if this ending still took six years?? She kept working herself to death for six years before she could afford that plane ticket??? But it was still very sweet that Luke decided to come with her and help her in her nonsense plan to find another man. Seriously I am SO glad to have a tsundere type shoujo love interest that DOESNT do any asshole jealous bastard behaviour that’s romanticized as if it’s true love... But still its a very sad ending even if there’s sweet best friend time. And it was a shame that we didnt get much else best friend stuff during the route, and it still played out as if she loved him no matter what choices you make, only changing the resolution.
