Why did Yael cheat on MC 🤔 ?
Sorry, anon, I thought I'd answered this.
Officially and technically, they didn't. For starters, the two were absolutely never going to work in terms of status and official relationships being recognized. The Marked was never going to be allowed to marry Yael, and knew this. The whole thing is sort of a miscommunication, at the very least.
As children (so when MC was at their worst, health wise) Yael was sweet and there was a promise to marry when they were older. Yael, however, did not take a promise they made as children seriously, whereas it brought the Marked a lot of comfort. Especially as Yael was charming/personable/flirty and, perhaps intentionally perhaps not, encouraged MCs feelings. Especially because Yael wasn't serious about anybody ever, but again a soft spot for MC.
Until Yael met their wife. Then suddenly they were very serious, and the Marked saw what special really was, with Yael.
It's a bit of a grey area on how shitty Yael truly was, as well as MC. But this all went down during some of the most tumultuous and heartbreaking time the MC had, considering as all of this drama was happening and bitter petty feelings were flying around, their dad was assassinated.

(Trigger warning: allusions to non-con, mentions of overstepping/ignoring boundaries. Nothing explicit or detailed but I still want to put warnings just in case it's triggering to anyone. Putting it under a read more to be extra careful. I just needed to vent a bit because this has deeply upset and infuriated me)
Made the mistake of opening my Twitter tab (I try to stay away as much as possible b/c I am wary of Valleydream Bloom spoilers) and the first thing I saw was a screenrecording of a café interaction where Sylus explicitly says that he isn't into choking. Which doesn't surprise me personally since, you know... this exists
He very clearly does not play about this shit. And rightfully so. His boundary just got crossed, and he doesn't tolerate that even from the person that he has longed for in his dreams. Which, again, rightfully so. No one has the right to overstep a person's boundaries no matter who they are to that person.
I figured that Sylus not being into being choked was common knowledge. Like yes, Sylus has kinks. And he is into BDSM. But that doesn't mean that he likes everything under that umbrella nor that he doesn't have explicit boundaries or limits, which some (mostly Booktok) seems to believe is the case with anyone being into BDSM or being kinky in general when that couldn't be further from the truth.
Anyway, boy was I wrong in my assumption. The reaction this "revelation" has garnered from a number of people is both surprising and disturbing tbh. It's one thing to be surprised but to say shit like "He's lying" or "Maybe he doesn't like it right now but I can change his mind" is just wild and frankly disgusting. On a number of levels.
First off... calling Sylus a liar. You know, the same man who literally never lies. Not even once throughout his relationship with MC. One of his core traits with her is that he is always genuine with her. He may evade certain topics like telling her explicitly about their past but he doesn't lie about it. He doesn't pretend they don't have a past together or that MCs visions aren't real. He has never lied to her and I highly doubt he ever will. It's not in his character. Never has been. And no one who cares about or understands his character would claim differently.
But most of all it just baffles and upsets me how quick and eager some are to dismiss Sylus' boundaries – Sylus, who is fundamentally a character all about autonomy and agency and consent. Who is celebrated for respecting MC's. And yet when it comes to his own? A lot of people like to act like he doesn't have them or that they can be tweaked. And I'm not just talking about the comments on this specific post, but in general I've seen kind of a lot of people adamant about controlling Sylus, or that claim that he would do literally everything MC would want. Even if it makes him uncomfortable. Which would be OOC for both characters.
Another reason why this is so upsetting to me and that I've talked about before is that Sylus is a character who's agency was forcefully – brutally – stripped away from him at a young age and for literal millennia. He has spent a good portion of his existence sealed away or locked up. That's a major reason why having autonomy agency and control is so important to him, and why he sets such clear boundaries for himself. Which MC would never cross because she loves and respects him as much as he does her.
And actually, I think this part about being treated brutally in the past is a major reason why Sylus is very cautious about being touched in certain vulnerable areas (neck, chest, head). He is just so used to being attacked and treated in a violent manner. Which breaks my heart.
Anyway, vent over. I just needed to do make this post for my own sake.

“CALL ME BABY”
Desc. What kind of fathers the LADS men would be. The kinds of kids they have. The brief dynamic amongst the children.
Featuring. Xavier, Zayne, Sylus, Rafayel, & Caleb! All x Reader/MC (separately)
w.c
A/N: Not me making problems for children. Also, the break my nuts game is a real game. My auntie was watching over some kids that were friends of a friend and they were jumping off the couch onto a firm triangle cushion trying to “break their nuts” crazy work btw, 10/10 parenting somehow
Xavier. He get’s a boy and a girl as twins. The older one I see taking on his more stoic and responsible attributes. The second kid, taking on his sleep everywhere traits but is a bad bitch on the down low. Second kid’s just unmotivated and unbothered.
Imagine it like this, if they were to grow into a high school setting, the archetypes of the first kid would be a student body president or have a role in the student body (they’d be arguing with Zayne’s kid for that role). Then the second kid would be just a “average” student with extra brain cells but wouldn’t want to put them to use. As they’re much more content with going to sleep and not exhausting as much energy as possible but when it comes to being relied on, end up being very reliable.
They def bicker a lot but not as much as Rafayel’s kids (Which we will get to later).
Xavier def treasures those kids. They would take on his hair but your eyes and have features that mostly resembled you with his cosmetics. He and second kid would get along fine and would cuddle together growing up because of how much they SLEEP. Imagine second kid clinging onto Xavier when he has to go to work. All like “daddy no! Don’t go!” Grumbling and gripping onto Xavier’s shirt.
Xavier’s oldest and him bond over simple talking, quality time in… cooking for you.
“But you’re banned from the kitchen.”
“Says who?”
“Mom.”
“She won’t even notice.”
“She will if the house is gone by the time she gets back.”
“I wasn’t aware the house could teleport. It must have been an oversight when I bought it.”
“Dad.”
Oldest kid loves practicing against Xavier with the sword. Second kid gets too dejected easily and does not truly want to do Xavier gets his fun out of oldest child. Teaching his oldest kid all the tricks he learnt and if anyone tries to get too close at school he gives them permission to defend themselves. If you know what I mean.
The oldest kid inherits Xavier’s light evol. They def train together. The second kid doesn’t care but they’re like a naturally talented and gifted sort of genius who doesn’t have to try. I’d say they’re really good at the sword with bad evol control or have skilled evol usage with a lack of effort or skill in sword fighting. One or the other.
The kids ask about how you and Xavier fell in love and Xavier’s always so sentimental when he tells the story. His rendition. Something you haven’t heard from him before but did now. First kid is sitting obediently at his side and looking up to the face of their father listening intently. While second child is lazing with their head on Xavier’s thigh as Xavier brushes their hair.
Zayne. Zayne feels like a girl dad or a boy dad, but with only one child. Honestly if he has a girl first, it’s a single child. If he has a boy first, then he has a young girl right after but when the boy is 5-7 so they have a pretty decent age difference.
Girl dad Zayne loves his baby girl. So, so much. She’s taken on your features, your hair, your eyes. I guess the only thing she has of his is the cold personality. Though not really cold, just shy and then with your chipper excitement whenever she lights up at anything she loves. Is also a lover of dessert. You have to yell at them both when they sneak away extra macaroons.
Zayne knows it’s wrong but can’t help it when she gives him the puppies of eyes.
Zayne’s son has almost all of his colors save for his features. He’s inherited the eyebrows for sure but the other features are yours. Sculpted soft nose and cushy cheeks. When he was born, Zayne couldn’t help but ghostly pinch at the chub of his newborn son. Almost looking akin to that cheery little seal he would always craft out of his evol.
Zayne’s daughter loves her big brother so, so much. She walks to school with him while holding his hand and skipping with the biggest, toothiest smile on his face. Whenever you give her candy she always saves a piece to share with her older brother and loves to tease him with sticky candied fingers. She adores being twirled around by him in the air and it always ends up with you having to warn them to be careful not to fall. She’s the only one she has such an easy time showing emotion with (besides you guys).
When she gets older she stops trying to be so reliant on him. Especially in public, she’s so independent and self reliant to everyone else, but at school she gets all embarrassed and shy when her big brother comes into class to remind her that she forgot her water bottle. Or that mom told her to eat all the veggies packed in her bento. Her classmates all awe at him and how cool her big brother is.
Zayne’s son is hardwired to look after his wittle baby sister. He can’t help it, she’s so cute. But also as he grows older he begins to wish for time to himself and independence from having to be an older protective brother. With so much weight on his shoulders he begins to act out and at some point claims that his dad only cares about his baby sister and that he doesn’t love him. (He’s a pre-teen give him a break).
All is resolved of course after a talk and that Zayne assured him he loves him, and pinching his cheeks.
Zayne’s son being the cool VP that hangs around and lets the kids chill from the rules while Zayne’s daughter in her generation is the president and is def more strict.
They both inherit Zayne’s snow ability but to your Evol versatility. Zayne’s son specializing in more imaginative moving creatures while Zayne’s daughter specializes in ice in the form of intricate and sturdy sculptures.
Rafayel. Rafayel has a girl, and a younger boy. No questions asked. Only like 3-4 years apart. The older girl is a sassy version of him, if not sassier. She has his hair, and his eyes. Although the big bug eyed version of them where it feels like she’s constantly staring into your soul. Constantly has them tied in adorable little pigtails at the side of her that swish back and forth when she shakes her head “no” especially when she was a toddler, a little pout on her face, lower lip jutted out as she crosses her arms with watery eyes peaking up at you both.
She is in fact a daddy’s girl, but very much still loves you. When she was younger she’d fight you over who got to cuddle dad in bed until Rafayel just tucked himself in the middle and cuddled you both. When she’s older she’s much more content with just you, and in fact finds her dad’s possession of your time to be really annoying. She wants to go shopping with you, for you to do her hair. For you to bake with her.
If anything, she kinda feels bad when she was younger for preferring her dad over you and wants to remind you that she loves you, too. Especially when you had her brother. Who took up most of your time. This was when she truly noticed the loss of your attention.
She kinda bullied him a lot too lol. But not too harshly, usual sibling banger of chasing each other around with a knife and threatening death. Then consoling and begging not to tell mom or dad. With her is the only time he’ll ever fight or argue back. But in a shy “leave me alone!” Kid sort of way. They bicker and banter back and forth. “Go climb a tree! Bug eyed freak!” “I hope the sharks eat you! You’d taste better than the grass!”
Rafayel’s son is much shyer. With one eye the color of Rafayel’s gradient hues and the other one of yours. He’s quite different than the both of you since you’re both so bold, especially with each other. He’s sensitive, and very shy. When he was younger, he’d often liked to be held by you and would bury his chubby face into your neck. He likes hiding behind Rafayel’s leg in public when he has his art galleries cause he still likes to see the pretty art his papa makes.
He loves to paint, Rafayel and him bonded that way. Rafayel somewhat got him out of his shell when his son was gifted the most talented artist award in kindergarten. In middle to highschool, Rafayel’s son gets pretty famous for being such a talented artist (but often gets compared to his dad and how he can’t live up to the original). Oh well, guess that’s why his older sister is there to beat them all up.
Younger son has evol doing with painting. The elements he paints come to life for a momentary period of time. He’s still learning to use it. Older sister has Rafayel’s fire evol. She’s more of a fighter though like her mom rather than a “dainty” artist. However, she fights with a force and grace of that of a well practiced and skilled dancer.
Sylus. Twins. Two girls. One boy. Just a five year age gap. His little girls are fierce and bold. Just as daring, sly and cunning. He spoils them SO much. They come back from weekend shopping trips from different parts of the world, sometimes richer in fashion and sometimes richer in mind. He definitely takes them to explore other cultures and they bring back souvenirs from their travels.
His girls love to hang onto Sylus like little monkeys. Very adventurous. If one of them is climbing his leg, the other one is hanging off his arm as he holds it up like a branch. Even as they get older to beg him for something they use this tactic.
As for his son, Sylus likes to sit with his son. It’s kind of strange cause the little boy is so quiet. Sylus likes to clean his guns with his son. Having the little child sit on the couch just staring blankly at his father reload and clean a gun. Of course, safety first.
His son inherits his animal loving trait. Horses? Check? A strange forest water creature? Check. A beaver? Strangely yes. Cats? Especially cats. If he goes outside expect him to come back with at least one cat that managed to follow him home.
“Who is that?”
“That’s Mochi and Miles. They’re brothers, Mochi is really nice but Miles is really mean.”
He looks up at you with those puppiest eyes, “Can we keep them?”
Before Sylus was more adept as a parent he had Mephisto watch over the twins in the crib. He had a special crib made with a perch sturdy enough to hold between two cribs so the crow could look over them all at once.
After you found out you scolded him, “what is a bird going to do if they’re in danger?”
“CAWCAW.”
“He’s going to do that.”
Luke and Kieran love the girls. Twinsies!!! They play house with them, feed them, albeit they’re both very clumsy in trying to feed the stubborn kids. The oldest is definitely very impatient and eats as fast as possible to go play, a choking hazard. The second one is patient and eats slow while transfixed with the TV, also a choking hazard with how distracted she gets. They both are very worried, very paranoid, very protective.
On the playground a little boy comes up to give Sylus’s second daughter a flower, all blushing and unable to meet her eyes as she’s more confused rather than thankful. But take it anyway. Luke and Kieran watching the whole thing interrogated the poor kid.
This kid is someone in Second daughter’s class that always remains behind the scenes throughout the years. In middle school he’s a pimply nervous kid and gets a completely glow up in high school that has every girl blushing but he only has eyes for second daughter.
Kieran and Luke refer to the son as little monarch. Throw him up in the air and like to shadow box with him. They’ll come out from the shadows and as Sylus’s son is throwing a punch, they’ll dramatically toss themselves backwards and groan in pain.
First daughter is chatty as FUCK. Wanting to know everything about her baby brother while second daughter watches and observes.
“Mommy, what does he eat?”
“Milk.”
“From a cow?”
“No.”
“From your nipples?”
“Whe-where did you learn that?”
“Did we drink from your nipples too?”
“Sylus!”
Sylus’s son is much more deadpanned, reserved, less excitable than the girls but just as adventurous if not more bold because of this personality difference. He gives off little shit energy. He’s a menace who does what he wants and loves to piss off his older sisters.
However, he’s a mommy’s boy. Prefers to spend days with you whether it be action based, training in the ring or relaxing, spa based. He loves both because he wants to spend time with his mom.
Very often it’s Sylus showing you PDA and all three of the kids BLEGHING at the sight. Although they acknowledge that they’re very lucky to have healthy, loving parents.
The oldest twin and son takes on the more physical attributes of both their parents. They both love boxing. While Sylus’s second daughter is more elegant and dancer-like. She’s more nimble and lean. Definitely took acrobatics when she was younger.
Second daughter takes on Sylus’s evol but in a ribbon leverage sort of manner. Kind of like Spiderman in movement and functionality but with evol strings. Son takes on mother’s attribute of physical combat with Sylus’s build. Think of the “BEAT HIS ASS” audio and that’s the vision you get whenever he fights. He grows to be way taller than his sisters. Older daughter is a combination of both, a master of none but a jack of all trades. She’s got skilled abilities in fighting, and evol manipulation but it’s her father’s manipulative eye that she’s got the most handle over out of the three.
Caleb. Caleb would have twin boys, one girl. Six year age gap. He’s hoping for a kid to look like you, but the twins share his resemblance. It’s extremely uncanny. The only thing they’d have is your nose bridge and eye structure. Otherwise it’s those beady lavender’s staring right back at him.
Metal arm Caleb is especially careful of holding the kids, definitely letting his more fleshy one being the one to hold his kids. Especially before they can even crawl, open their eyes, etc. He really wants to hold both kids in both arms, he’s strong enough to but is too afraid of hurting them. As they grow older they get used to their daddy’s “robot arm” and begin to ask questions about its origins and how other daddy’s don’t have robot arms.
They’re also very mischievous. Grabbing each other’s hair, especially as infants who can crawl. The youngest in retaliation always grabs the oldest’ hair and never lets go until he gets a toy. Or as they grow older, throwing dirt in the other’s faces, stealing a portion of their food but never taking each other’s portion of dessert because that’s sacred. Not as bad as Rafayel’s kids but 100% more physical.
They’re also both sort of manipulative. In the cute little shit way and less of the egotistical man sort of way. They want simple things like candy, not world domination (yet). They both also fight over your attention, and fight their dad for your attention. Caleb makes it very well known his little shits can’t have you at night but you will most certainly tuck them in.
The kids always BLEGH whenever he calls you pipsqueak or anything super endearing. With such love in his voice and heart eyes, a hand around your waist and leaning down to kiss your forehead. Such a love they cannot fathom just yet as they repulse is disgust at the affection.
“Momma we can kiss you way better than papa can.”
“Yeah, papa’s icky right now. He’s got cooties and germs all over him.”
“Your momma loves my cooties just fine.” He teases them with a flick to both their foreheads.
He loves flying paper airplanes for them, especially when they were toddlers. The way the two of them would toddle after an airplane mid flight with wide soft lavender eyes. Caleb also regales to them old “war stories” about being on the fleet.
They think he’s the coolest when he’s telling them these types of stories. They also try to play fight with him, all about how their evol is way stronger cause they’re younger and he’s a sad old man. He obviously beats them, never lets them truly win and it’s only after about three times does he let them succeed in “defeating” him.
The boys are just menaces, playing dangerous games like jumping off the couch like a ninja or climbing on each other’s shoulders. Jumping from the couch onto—albeit—soft cushions to play the “break my nuts” game they made up on a whim.
You and Caleb are both exhausted but happy. Yet there’s just one more thing he wants…
When Caleb gets his daughter she looks just like you. His hair but your eyes and your features. He loves her so much, adores her. The very first day you gave birth to her he wouldn’t put her down. His finger presenting itself to her tiny soft grabby little hands as she grips onto his larger finger tightly. She can’t open her eyes yet but her mouth is agape with the tiniest and most adorable little “o” as if she’s perpetually yawning. His mini pipsqueak.
The boys are rough players, and very loud, very destructive. You both cannot have nice things for long. You wonder how they’ll be.
When Caleb presents to them their baby sister they become quiet. Unknown with the little creature that sits so small and quietly in their father’s arms.
“Why is she so wrinkly?”
“Why is she so small?”
“She’s shaped like a potato.”
“She’s wrapped in a blanket, and you were small and wrinkly once like this too, y’know.” Caleb teases with a small grin.
The second oldest talks at normal voice level—loud—and Caleb has to shush him for fear of waking up the baby. They don’t think it’s much of an issue but after that they have to deal with crying in the night at fuck who knows hours and second oldest is a light sleeper so he definitely hates having the little potato around.
The boys hate how they have to tiptoe around her for the longest time while she’s this size. They’d get to a point where the oldest decides to rebel and the second son follows his lead and they both start screaming and hitting pots and pans. They’re such menaces.
Poor little Caleb’s daughter, with her baby ears and sensitive sleep schedule. He obviously yells at the boys and makes it very clear they can act like this again when she grows older.
They sort of resent her for a small period of time but grow to become fond of her when she’s a toddler. She cries less and sleeps through the night. Through exposure she’s gotten attached to her big brothers and sits by them whenever they’re watching a movie or follows them whenever they erratically walk around the house roleplaying as far space pirate.
They’re both very attentive and aware of what will hurt her, albeit not because they were taught to be Caleb but because they’ve learned to care about her safety over time. She fell down the stairs once? Her crying broke their hearts. Oldest kid kicked the stairs in anger and started crying because he hurt his foot. Second kid kicked the stairs for hurting both his older brother and baby sister, also started crying because he stubbed his toe. All in all, don’t kick the stairs.
As she grows older the boys tease her and kind of leave her out of things when they play together. They’re not exactly mean or cruel but they grew up together and prefer their boy time with one another. However, it doesn’t mean that they don’t feel bad about preferring playing sometimes without her. After they’re satisfied they also return to her with an apology and promise of the new big adventure the three of them will be on together.
When her hair’s longer, Caleb takes extra care to brush it, style it and takes care of her like he did for you when you were both younger. His little princess.
Don’t even mention boys or the possibility of her dating, it’ll break his heart knowing no one is good enough for his little girl. Not to mention the way the twins would erratically and immediately be threatening death if that boy were to do their sister wrong.
The twins inherit his abilities of gravity manipulation evol and the third inherits your abilities.

ACottonSock's Sims 4 Mods Masterlist
Tumblr media
I'm not well versed with The Sims 4, but after my recent video where I mentioned revisiting it after many years (like we're talking 2015/16), a few viewers asked me to put together my mods list because they want to enjoy Sims 4 too and had no idea where to start.
Last Updated: 12/17/24 - swapped out default eyes for the 'Atmospheric Eyes'. Added 'Auto Check Toddler & Infants Tweaks' by LittleMsSam.
Click "keep reading" to see the entire compiled list!
CAS and Default Replacements
Body Hair Replacement (Luumia Edition): Replaces EA's terrible body hair textures with Luumia's textures.
Default Replacement Cutlery: Replaces the EA fork and spoon textures with nicer ones.
CAS Room - Plant Lover: Really pretty CAS background room.
Atmospheric Eyes: Default replacement eyes.
Remove EA Lashes: Removes EA's chunky eyelashes so I can overlay my pretty ones.
Cumulus Clouds: Overrides the default clouds in the sky to be a lot high texture and prettier. I use 'Alfsi_clouds_cumulus02_mesh'.
Cherry Tree Override: Replaces the default cherry tree to a better texture.
Luumia's Body Hair: Body hair that appears in the 'tattoo' category. Looks very realistic.
Luumia's Vanilla Skin Default: A nice smooth default replacement skin.
Popcorn Ceiling Default: Changes the ceiling texture to be the classic popcorn ceiling.
Stand Still in CAS: Stops the stupid animations when Sims fidget around in CAS.
More Columns in CAS (4 columns ver.): Adds more columns in the CAS catalogue.
CAS Modifiers Bugfix: Supposedly fixes the receding chin issue that appears when Sims age up in CAS.
Gameplay Mods
MC Command Center: Adds greater control to your Sims 4 game experience and NPC story progression options.
MC Woohoo: Allows various common Woohoo options to be available as settings.

More Layoffs: Increases the chance of a layoff happening to your Sim.
More Names Variety (+Expanded Random Names): If your sims visit Sulani, San Myshuno and Mt. Komorebi often, the game will generate sims to populate festivals, streets and to take part in activities. These townies do not get their names from the same list you have in CAS (randomized) but have separate lists of culturally appropriate names. These lists are short (some only 10 names long) and you may have noticed some repetition or have grown tired of seeing the same names over and over again.
Better Elders Mod: Adds new social interactions, social events, and gameplay options for elders.
Dental Care: Sims can get cavities, have bad breath, need and receive braces, toddlers can teeth and teens can have wisdom teeth extracted.

This includes a detailed variety of 25 anxiety, developmental, learning, mood, neurological, personality, body, eating, and mental health conditions affecting infants to elders as well as 4 addictions affecting young adults and older.
Eye Care: Adds basic eye care to your game. Regular eye exams, contacts, and eyeglasses can help identify and then mitigate these issues. Laser Eye Surgery is also an option for some conditions.

hi there.
i just finished playing the demo on itch and so far i really like the story, lore and the characters.
beside this i also have some things, i didnt like/critique:
1.) i was playing as a intimidating&cold MC. unfortunately the flavour text (aka the story/text between choices) didnt really reflect this. the whole time i was reading it felt like the story was written with a caring MC in mind and the cold-option was only added last minute to have a "counter" to the caring-"personality".
2.) following up i didnt really like how mordred was introduced and because of this his following scenes. i really wished that there was an choice about how MC´s opinion is about children. for example, i dont think my cold MC would be so overexcited in meeting a child. and even if children were her "weakness", it would be a choice i, as the player want to make. i mean, there is a choice we can make about how touch averse our MC is (disclaimer: not complaining about this), but no choice about their stance towards children? and yes, i understand that mordred seems to be important to the story and thats why there cant be a choice like "i hate you/children". here is an idea: before meeting mordred the player gets the following choice, where we set Mc´s opinion about children. we have the options: you love children/\you are fine with children/\you dont usually like children much, but mordred has something special. this choice and potentially MC´s personality (cold/caring) would influence how MC reacts towards mordred. as another example; at some point you can ask gwyar about mordred and the text then states: "Everything Morien just said melts your heart. Since you’d like to get closer to him you ask, “is he passionate about anything?”" this like i already said, feels quite forced to me.
also another issue i had with mordreds first scene was the choice on how to react to the gift he gives MC. there are 3 choices, which imo boils down to: thank him overexcitedly/\thank him excitedly/\thank him with a smile. once again in my opinion none of these fit with a cold MC. and just to clarify, this isnt something specific towards mordred. in general there should be options for all personalities in important situations; and not all of them need to increase the counter in them. so if someone wants to play a caring MC, they should still be able to take cold options without risking to change their personality.
3.) more options for the purpose of roleplay. i explain it at the following example:
during ch.2 after the meeting with the nobles, you meet arthur and he asks you how it went. currently there are 2 options: either "it went well" OR "it didnt go well". i propose adding 2 more, so that we have 2 "it went well" and 2 "it didnt go well"-options. in that case one of each could lean more into the cold personality, while the others are more caring. none of these would increase the respective stat and wouldnt change the following text/outcome. lke i said, simply for roleplay purpose.
i apologize if it comes off as too hostile/insulting. its just these points for me are rather big/important and i admit, if the demo was longer i would probably had stopped it early.
anyways i have one question: maybe i missed it but are all mounts dragon of different kind? so is the venegard mount a water dragon?
thank you for your answer.
I am glad you liked the overall story! I'll answer each point as best as I can
1)unless it's a general feeling that persists through the whole game, I'd be very grateful if you (or anyone with the same grievance) could give me some specific examples, just because it would be easier for me to edit the text and try to make the cold character trait feel more integral.
I structured the cold/caring intimidating/unassuming traits to be equally important to each Hound, so I'd hate if one of those trait was preponderant over others. Note however that some reactions are set, for example:
2) I mentioned this a good while back so many of you might not know, but it is canon that MC is soft for kids. Your suggestion honestly would be implementable, but unfortunately it wouldn't make much sense with other set encounters MC has/will have with children in the story (one example being the ship kid). Although, one thing I can promise is to revise the text around Mordred and perhaps add choices that let MC be less outwardly attached to him, and maybe take this relationship slower (so to be more cautious of Mordred, at lest at first, also considering his relationship to Arthur).
3) very honestly, the reason why I do not provide many choices like some other IFs is that on one side, the Hound is slightly more set as a MC, on the other side (the most important reason) I cannot offer more variations than I currently have - because I already struggle to write and I don't want to overwhelm myself. Perhaps in the future I can edit the game and add more things, but for now I am at my limit, I'm sorry.
4) don't worry, I actually like receiving critiques, it helps me be more objective on my work and potentially improve on some points. The House mounts are all horses, though with peculiar characteristics: the Pendragon mount has dragon like scales, while the Venegard mount is basically a Kelpie

contains hcs for characters and the world homicipher takes place
may contain spoilers for the game
a lot of character lore and world building (if you have different interpretations than me please let me know !!)
yes most of these are angsty asf i am SORRY okay
I'd like to make it clear that only the creator knows the truth of these characters and the world they're in, this is just my interpretation of it
Tumblr media
» 𝚃𝙷𝙴 '𝙰𝙽𝙾𝚃𝙷𝙴𝚁 𝚆𝙾𝚁𝙻𝙳' . . .
Most of the characters were originally human—except Mr. Scarletetta, who I believe created this entire world. He designed it as a trap and exists as an almost godlike glitch entity
The other characters went through the same thing as MC and fell into his trap, and the more monstrous they appear, the longer they've been trapped there
I believe Scarletetta—considering most characters and assuming my headcanon is correct—lures in individuals who are either deeply damaged or repressing their true selves to conform to society
Given that the story is set in Japan, where social norms emphasize politeness, humility, and cleanliness, these types of people would make ideal targets. Those who are damaged often have low self-worth, making them easier to manipulate, while those who suppress their true selves in such a structured society might be drawn to something raw and chaotic—like the decayed ruins surrounding the elevator and Mr. Scarletella’s striking red color scheme (as red represents violence and is psychologically an enticing color to the brain)
The characters were certainly in a better state when they first fell into the underworld. However, I headcanon that the longer someone remains there, it not only alters them physically but also affects them mentally, bringing out their most primal, repressed instincts and scrambling their memories
Tumblr media
» 𝙲𝙷𝙰𝚁𝙰𝙲𝚃𝙴𝚁𝚂 . . .
(Just Mr. Crawling and Scarletella because they're my favs and I have the most thoughts about them, but there are other characters in the next section !!)
Mr. Crawling:
Mr. Crawling is so unique because, at his core, he is genuinely a good person. Even as the underworld strips him down to his rawest instincts, thoughts, and emotions, his inherent goodness remains
However, he does kill—like when he takes the life of Mr. Stitch—showing that even he isn’t free from violence. But that brutality isn’t necessarily bloodlust or anything of the sort, but rather to protect MC out of the goodness in his heart
I believe Mr. Crawling descended into the other world more recently than some other characters— along with Mr. Hood, MC, and The Bride. While the other characters retain only a spark of their humanity, if you were to place him in a normal human body and remove his monstrous traits, he would still feel entirely human even as he is now
Mr. Crawling has very low self worth— he endures so much pain from MC: she nearly kills him, strikes him in the head with a crowbar, and dodges a flying chair, letting it hit him instead. And that’s not even counting the emotional pain she inflicts. She terrifies him, manipulates his emotions, and, despite everything he’s done for her, ultimately abandons him in multiple storylines. She makes him believe he is loved, only to leave him behind
Mr. Crawling protects MC and makes it his goal to get her home because he doesn't want her to transform into a monster the longer he stays down there
Mr. Scarletella:
Mr. Scarletella was never meant to be good—I don’t think there’s any reality where he is, even if he weren’t a glitch, a monster, or even if he were human
His nature is inherently selfish; he doesn’t truly care about the MC—he only wants her identity because he’s desperately grasping at anything he can
The reason Mr. Scarletella created the other world is the first place is because he just wants something to hold onto that even slightly resembles an identity and/or human connection but he doesn't understand those things so he does it all wrong
Mr. Scarletella is deeply lonely, as he never interacts with the other monsters (except for Mr. Crawling, but that’s not a positive interaction—Mr. Crawling just saves the MC from him)
In the Scarlet Rain ending, MC exploits Mr. Scarletella's obsession and isolation, making him her servant under the guise of giving him an identity—she names him
Mr. Scareletta, desperate for something to cling to, accepts it, misinterpreting it as love, because he doesn’t truly understand what love is—he just needs something to hold onto
Tumblr media
(fine i'll give you a break from the angst, i guess, so have some random headcanons)
» 𝚂𝙸𝙻𝙻𝚈 & 𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃𝙷𝙴𝙰𝚁𝚃𝙴𝙳 . . .
Mr. Silvair gets his root touch up at the hairdresser and actually isn’t a natural platinum, he's a natural dirty blond
When Mr. Machete was human he used to bully kids on Roblox
Mr. Crawling loves when MC braids his hair or plays with it
Love Languages:
☆ Mr. Crawling- Physical touch and words of affirmation ☆ Mr. Scarletella- Quality time and words of affirmation ☆ Mr. Hood- Acts of service ☆ Mr. Machete- Acts of service ☆ Mr. Gap- Gift giving ☆ Mr. Silvair- Physical touch
Ms. Blue-Clad and The Bride were friends when they were human and shared a fashion Tumblr blog
Mr. Crawling would love taking bubble baths if they had bathtubs in the other world; he can stand for a short amount of time, but it's painful for him so showers don't work well for him
Mr. Hood is the oldest of all the characters and Mr. Chopped is the youngest (except for Hooded Child, of course)
ALL of the other characters know about the Mr. Crawling and Mr. Scarletella beef they all see it
Mr. Stitch finds it entertaining and Mr. Hood wants them to just shut the fuck up because he's sick of it (real)
Tumblr media

i'll be adding more to this as i think of more headcanons, i just like rambling on about this game :)

Thoughts on gumwrightworth?
In short:
Tumblr media
I ADORE these three,, so mushing them all together is the PERFECT thing. I also have A Lot to say on this so hold on, this is gonna be a ride.
I firstly wanna talk about all the pairings separately. I do not feel like going over why Wrightworth is good because it has been repeated to DEATH and everyone who has internalized it knows everything I could possibly say about them already, so I shall refrain ☺️.
Gumworth is SO GOOD THOUGH,, and I’m happy to find the Gumworth people of Tumblr through me stealing someone else’s blog banner XDD. Edgeworth is such a tough boss, and Gumshoe’s admittedly a little dim at times, which isn’t an ideal trait for a detective. But somehow they just work so well together 💞 Gumshoe tries SO HARD to help Edgeworth,, and genuinely cares for him to an amount that is WILD for just being a boss-employee relationship. He has an adoration for Edgeworth, and has been there for him since his very first case.
Because of the longevity of their relationship paired with the implication that he and Edgeworth are CONSTANTLY placed on the same case,, I refuse to believe that Edgeworth DOESN’T care for Gumshoe in some way or another. Besides his adoptive family (which are not the type of people to be all lovey-dovey), Gumshoe is the only person to stick with him throughout his entire prosecutorial career. He’s seen him at his absolute worst and still has this unshakable faith in him, which MUST have some value to him considering all of the doubt that’s been cast not only on his career, but his overall moral standing as he put one innocent person after another in jail in his Bratworth era that he did everything to rectify after his year-long sabbatical post 1-5.
People tend to overlook Gumshoe’s sadness during that disappearance, like NO ONE KNEW EDGEWORTH WAS ALIVE. A lot of people (myself included) tend to focus on Phoenix’s feelings during the second game, as he is the mc and he get his thoughts on the matter WAY more than we get Gumshoe’s. But he’s clearly distraught as well, and how couldn’t he be? We saw how much he cared for Edgeworth during case 1-4,, and again he works with him constantly. He must’ve seen the way Edgeworth’s spirit dwindled from the day he was arrested for Robert Hammond’s murder to the day he left that letter, and feared the worst. He may have blamed himself for not showing Edgeworth he was there for him to the extent that he wanted to, and that kind of guilt would be EXCRUCIATING to live with for a year. There’s a bit of leeway with Phoenix in this situation, as Edgeworth shut him out time and time again because they were technically enemies in court, and he also isn’t one to want to relive his past. But Gumshoe was meant to be his sidekick, his confidant (his silly rabbit /ref). He would feel like he failed his job in absolutely every way if he thought Edgeworth couldn’t trust him enough to open up even a little when he was struggling the most.
Angst aside, their relationship runs DEEP. And as much as I love Wrightworth,, I love exploring every avenue in terms of shipping and it BOTHERS me that more people don’t see their potential. Like I think them and Wrightworth are tied in my mind for best ship in Ace Attorney.
As for Gumwright,, PEOPLE DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR POTENTIAL ENOUGH AND THAT BOTHERS ME. One pet peeve I have whenever I see Gummywrightworth is it feels more like traditional polygamy than more all-way polyamory. It feels like Edgeworth’s the glue binding them together, and that Gumshoe and Wright don’t feel any type of way about one another,, and that is SUCH A CRIME. It is SO NICE to think about the juxtaposition between the Gumworth work relationship and the Gumwright one, and in turn how different they would both be in a romantic setting. Whereas Edgeworth doesn’t particularly need Gumshoe’s help most of the time and loves to do everything and make all the deductions himself, Wright often NEEDS Gumshoe’s help to progress because he has access to things Wright often doesn’t. Whether it’s evidence, reports, prosecution’s strategy, or real-time forensic analysis,, Gumshoe has COME THROUGH for Wright time and time again. His help is absolutely invaluable to Wright’s investigations, and without him as a resource quite a few of Wright’s clients likely would’ve been declared guilty. But that’s not to say Wright is useless. It’s just that Gumshoe oftentimes has that one missing piece that Wright needs.
The way Edgeworth and Wright both interact with Gumshoe is also very different. Edgeworth’s a little more dismissive of Gumshoe (particularly in AAI 1+2), and he often scolds Gumshoe for his missteps. But while Wright at the beginning is often pushy in order to get Gumshoe to help in the first place (as he’s instructed not to help the defense), but when he actually begins helping, Wright is quite kind to Gumshoe. Although he recognizes that Gummy’s a little dumb at times, he still values his insight, as Wright can also be a little dumb about things that should be obvious to someone with a law degree. It’s like they’re two halves of a braincell coming together to bounce around for a bit during the PW Trilogy’s investigation segments. I just. THEY’RE SO NICE TO EACH OTHER 💞 of course they’re aggressive to one another at first, but as they take on the same cases they grow friendlier and closer. And when they’re in a trial,, Gumshoe treats his testimony like a game. he always needs to announce that Wright’s “not gonna get him this time!” I just find them really cute,,, and I’m disappointed in this fandom for not considering them as a pairing more often. Like if you guys are not gonna write enough Gumwright fics, I will DO IT MYSELF.
Now the differences and similarities between these two pairings come together to form Gummywrightworth, and it is beautiful. It brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it. The three of them have faced the bulk of their hardships in the first trilogy together, and because of this, they would all grow so close to one another. None of them seem to have many other people to cling to who would understand their troubles,, but they all understand each other because they were THERE. They were all there for one another during the good and the bad times throughout the trilogy, and they all celebrated together when it was finally over. Not to mention I think that Gumshoe and Wright’s puppy energies could help mellow Edgeworth out a bit. It’s a well-balanced relationship with lots of history to back it up,, and the three of them all work so well together, and it’s impossible to tell me they all don’t deeply care for each other. They are so amazing.

↬|Lucifer|
He’d be a more sadistic and dominant yandere. He’d have more of a tendency to punish you for ‘bad’ behaviour- and he’d have a pretty low tolerance for any disobedience at all. Lucifer being the Avatar of Pride, the first sin, he’s going to be extremely arrogant, and have a strong need to maintain his image. Expect lots of praise and doting, but also expect a dominant, sadistic and possessive yandere with a high expectation for obedience.
┣━━━━━━━━━━━━━┅┅┅┄┄
↬|Mammon|
Mammon would likely do some things differently than a classic yandere. But he surely would use his power and influence to control and manipulate MC, rather than resorting to physical harm or violence. He would also be more subtle in his approach, using psychological methods like gaslighting and isolating MC from their friends and family, rather than overt displays of violence or harm. Additionally, Mammon's personality as a greedy and selfish person would likely affect his behavior as a yandere, causing him to prioritize his own desires and needs above MC's.
┣━━━━━━━━━━━━━┅┅┅┄┄
↬|Leviathan|
Levi would likely bring his own unique quirks to the archetype. his otaku interests and shy personality might lead him to use more subtle and manipulative tactics to keep the MC under his control. he might try to appeal to MC's otaku side, using references and inside jokes to try and connect with them. he might also become extremely protective and possessive of MC's favorite anime or manga, seeing them as a shared interest and something to bond over. You have to do homework every night and if you don't, you will be punished. Like reviewing new anime or summarizing his favorite mangas...
┣━━━━━━━━━━━━━┅┅┅┄┄
↬|Satan|
As Satan is not a traditional yandere, he may have his own unique traits and behaviors that differ from the classic portrayal of a yandere. For example, he might be more cunning and manipulative than other yanderes, using his intelligence and charm to control MC. He might also have a stronger desire for control and dominance, seeing MC as his personal possession and property, rather than just a romantic partner or love interest. He may also have a darker and more sadistic side, taking pleasure in causing pain or discomfort to MC as a way to assert his authority and power over them.
┣━━━━━━━━━━━━━┅┅┅┄┄
↬|Asmondeus|
Asmodeus could exhibit some different behaviors from the classic yandere. He doesn’t just use violence to keep MC under his control.. He has his charm and good looks, which he can use to his advantage. He’s the Avatar of Lust, after all.. which means he has more at his disposal than the average yandere. He would probably try to manipulate MC with his natural charm, sweetness and compliments, trying to make them submissive and compliant through positive reinforcement instead of brute force.
┣━━━━━━━━━━━━━┅┅┅┄┄
↬|Beelzebub|
He could have access to a different set of resources or magical powers that allow him to keep MC under his control in ways that other yanderes couldn’t. Additionally, his demonic nature may give him a distinctly devilish flair.
┣━━━━━━━━━━━━━┅┅┅┄┄
↬|Belphegor|
He'll probably be a lot more sarcastic and sassy with you, and he's also very mischievous so he'll definitely prank and tease you a lot, and most of the time he'll have a witty remark to say about nearly everything. He's also not the *stereotypical* yandere with the yandere "glares" at all. Instead he'll be a lot more smug and playful most of the time, especially when he's messing around with you. But if he gets protective of you or jealous he's definitely become possessive and more intense, *especially* when you're alone.
┣━━━━━━━━━━━━━┅┅┅┄┄
↬|Diavolo|
He would likely be more possessive than aggressive, using persuasion and manipulation rather than overt violence to control MC.
He might try to justify his actions by claiming that he only wants to keep MC safe and happy.
He may use his position as the future king of the Devildom to make sure that nobody intervenes in his relationship with MC.
┣━━━━━━━━━━━━━┅┅┅┄┄
↬|Barbatos|
Barbatos may have some unique traits that set him apart from other yanderes. For example, while most yanderes are known for their extreme possessiveness and obsession, Barbatos tends to be more subtle about it. He may not always be outright violent or aggressive like some yanderes, and instead, he may use more manipulative tactics to keep you under his control. He may use words and actions that seem innocent on the surface, but could actually be meant to make you more dependent on him.
┣━━━━━━━━━━━━━┅┅┅┄┄
↬|Simeon|
He may be less aggressive and more subtle in his manipulations. He may use emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and other psychological tactics to make them doubt herself and their instincts rather than resorting to physical violence or abuse. He may have a more sophisticated and calculating approach than a classic yandere, who often tends to be more impulsive and reactive.
┣━━━━━━━━━━━━━┅┅┅┄┄
↬|Solomon|
Solomon may do things differently from the typical archetype. Here are some possibilities, As a sorcerer, he may use magic and spells as a way to manipulate and control MC, rather than just relying on physical force. He may be more subtle and strategic in his methods, using mind games and manipulation to subtly keep MC under his control, rather than relying on overt displays of jealousy or possessiveness. He may also have more intellectual and analytical traits, making him a more cunning and calculating yandere than what is typical.

aaahh, worked up the courage to comment here. First, I want to appreciate the passion going into Loser’s Bromance. It feels like the characters are authentic—real people that you can have a conversation with IRL. I love how all of the characters are variations of common tropes in media ( e.g: the childhood best friend, the know-it-all nerd, etc ) and how you make them have complexity that separates them from their superficial self. I also have question: what are the Lls’ opinion on each other ?
thanks for commenting!
i'm really glad you think my characters are well-written! Sometimes I feel that some characters are a bit stiff and too anime-like in the way they talk (Tomohiro, Kotose, Kotoha, Yumeki, etc) and only mc and Yanagi have realistic convos, or that their affections toward mc don’t make sense. I have to spend a lot of time mulling over whether the progression of their romance is steady enough and set “checkpoints” for what has to happen and when to set up what.
But also, I derive some of their character traits from people I know irl, bits of myself, and traits I like in fictional characters. They’re patchwork pieces of things I find interesting. And aren’t we all patchwork pieces of the things we experience? Just because Kotose is a tsundere asshole doesn’t mean he can’t laugh and smile with mc (and get shy about it)
---
Interesting question 🤔
Tomohiro: generally doesnt like any of them
Kotose: this guy keeps nitpicking mc. if mc finds him annoying, then so does Tomohiro. He's confused as to why mc is warming up to kotose, though. Why don’t you wanna study with me?
Satsuma: calisthenics >>> weightlifting. Mc was afraid of him, why does he accept his nickname now? I’m supposed to be the strongest in mc's eyes. Tomohiro doesn't like his dark brooding aura. Associates him with the reason why mc can’t do judo full-time.
Yumeki: thought he wasn’t worth worrying about because he’s such a shy little wimp. He even gets dragged around by tomoe. Though after that incident with the pictures, Tomohiro is starting to suspect him in a way similar to how mc suspected Yumeki was with the girls.
Yanagi: who's this weirdo that keeps harassing mc? he needs to stay back. tomo's ready to fight if necessary.
Kotose: also doesnt like the others, but not really out of jealousy like Tomohiro
Tomohiro: well, he's kinda jealous because Tomohiro has known mc for so long and gets to be close with him. Doesn't like his carefree and lax behavior. The way a nerd despises a popular kid
Satsuma: barely remembers when he freed Kotose and mc from the closet. Doesn't like that he eats in the library and his nonchalant demeanor.
Yumeki: finds him strange, doesn't want him near his sister or mc. He tries too hard to please people that it’s sort of annoying. The way he talks is also weird, and he needs to grow a spine. Stop making trouble for others!
Yanagi: i won't spoil, but you know it won't be anything good.
Satsuma: hes just a chill guy
Tomohiro: weight lifting >>> calisthenics. This sadistic maniac needs to stop injuring my precious teammate. He seems arrogant and too hot-blooded.
Kotose: one of mc's friends. Doesn't mind becoming friends with him, too. Maybe if he ate more, he’d be less angry. shouldn't he be a little more grateful that satsuma helped him?
Yumeki: awkward manager, pities him. He respects Yumeyo, as well as mc’s attempts to be an upstanding person, so he’ll also look after Yumeki. Like mc, he’s more understanding of Yumeki's slip-ups and doesn’t think anything odd of it
Yanagi: mc's strange friend who doesn't speak much. he said they met at Momiji, but satsuma was watching mc most of the time, and he doesn't recall a moment when they could've met.
Yumeki: tries to be on his best behavior around all of them. he's scared of everyone.
Tomohiro: Tomoe’s cool but kind of intimidating older brother. Is this who mc learned to be so cool from? his comments can be a little mean sometimes, even though he's smiling...
Kotose: kotoha's scary brother. Yumeki can never seem to please him. He always shoots down his ideas at council meetings. feels like he's walking on eggshells around kotose. how is mc friends with him?
Satsuma: please don’t kill me. Same fear that mc had. He seems nice now, though. If yumeyo is chill with him, maybe he’s not so bad.
Yanagi: tbh, i don't think any of them would like yanagi. he might be the first LI to incite yumeki's anger.
Yanagi: so these are the guys that mc is romancing? interesting
Tomohiro: not yet
Kotose: not yet (no matter what, i'm smarter than him)
Satsuma: mc said all the other guys have bigger weiners...is this giant meathead one of those guys? did they actually do..? was mc not joking when he said that???
Yumeki: not yet

I find it really funny that my blood moon mc was all calculating and level-headed, but my vampire mc is super brash and makes the worst possible decisions (and is also pretty cheeky while werewolf mc leaned more towards dry humor) even though stereotypically werewolves are hot-headed and vampires are calculating. How set are the mc personalities? Because it felt kind of natural to go this route based on the first couple chapters in each book. They really feel like their own separate developed characters. Are there any notable differences in how you write their personalities?
I never intended to give the MCs their own distinct personalities. I tried really hard to write them as 'blank slates' so players could project their own characters onto them.
However, I found it impossible to leave them entirely blank. I can't write a story starring a character I know literally nothing about.
And so, I gave them both a couple of non-negotiable traits. Things that allowed me to give the character presence in a scene, while leaving enough up to the reader to decide.
Blood Moon's MC is:
Competent, caring, and has killer cheekbones. They're clever enough to puzzle things out and aren't afraid to use some rougher language to get their point across (hence the fuck fuck fuckity fuck moments). Blood Moon's MC also has a dry, witty sort of intelligence which allows them to be a little sassy, if the player wants to choose those options.
Thicker Than's MC is:
A touch more pessimistic, persuasive (going to far as to be manipulative if the player chooses certain options), and pretty damn smart. They're much more likely to think strategically and to react to situations quickly. However, they're not as steady as Blood Moon's MC is, reacting more emotionally at times. They also have mummy issues.
Which, now that I think about it, pairs well with Blood Moon MC's potential daddy issues.
Thicker Than's MC also has their own fuck fuck fuckity fuck moment which I'm not taking out no matter how many times people point it out.
Anyway, all this to say, I never intended for these characters to even really be characters, but they sort of emerged as characters despite my best intentions. The player's choices still matter a lot though. Both MCs can be shy, sassy, suave, or strong-silent-types, depending on what the player chooses. They can focus more on problem solving or interpersonal connections. They can try to be leaders in their communities or stick to the sidelines.
Part of the magic of writing IF is I can see all the different ways these characters could go... and I love hearing what players thought and felt while making those chooses, filling in the blanks of those characters.

long ramble, progress update, & potential release timeframe below:
hii! i got a lot of coding done and i think im finally satisfied with how the game looks (for now…)
here are some screenshots of what some of it will look like on mobile!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the friendship and romance levels shown in the relationship menu are just random as is the blurb for Aesop’s thoughts, they’re just for the example! (also characters thoughts are hidden by default, you click to reveal, then hide, them)
the stat bars were giving me hell but i finally figured them out with the the help of some forums and tumblr posts
i liked how in when twilight strikes by evertidings, the menu buttons (i.e. profile, stats, relationships) are listed at the top of the page so i took inspiration from that! and the many IFs that have a splash (?) screen at the beginning with the title
compared to when i started using twine (i think august 2023 was the first time i gave it a try), i’ve learned so much and there’s still so much to learn as well, i think coding has become my favorite part (making things looks pretty hehe)(with the help of amazing templates & ppl smarter than me, they do the heavy lifting fr)
with all the coding done (appearance wise) it’s lock in time for the revised prologue and chapter 1
the prologue has undergone a fair bit of change with the help of feedback & i’ve (hopefully) better established the setting and story.
some things that have changed besides wording and sentence structure, etc.: being able to choose what you did as a job (ex. working at the family inn) and meeting a new character (more like an old friend?)(no spoilers:))
some things i’ve been considering (SLIGHT SPOILER FOR CH.1 MAYBE): merging the revised prologue and chapter 1 into just the prologue bc chapter 1 differs a bit from the other chapters, but then the prologue would maybe be too strange timeframe wise? it’s a time skip after the events of the prologue (is that considered a spoiler, i don’t think so but???) that connects to the next chapters so maybe it’d just be better as its own chapter? or dropping the revised prologue by itself along with the updated ui/appearance then chapter 1 sometime after, or dropping the revised prologue and chapter 1 together, idk these are all just ideas i’ve been thinking about maybe i’ll do a poll
if you have anything you’d like to see, for example a specific job your MC worked, certain personality traits, or something like that, feel free to let me know & i’ll take them into consideration! i think now is the best time to add things bc it’s early development days & it’ll be easier to do so now than later
i’ve also decided to lean a little more into the supernatural aspect which i’m excited for (one specific thing really, i can’t wait to get to it🤭) the story’s world itself is fairly grounded in reality (as in the supernatural is unknown to most) but i’m looking forward to exploring it more
what you’re probably reading this for: depending on how i end up going about the prologue-chapter 1 merge decision & whether anything is added from requests/feedback, i’m aiming for a june release, july at the latest (fingers crossed). now that the appearance and function coding is complete (besides stat/choice tracking & other story related things), finishing the writing and coding it in is all that’s left
my schedule has done a 180 & some things are less than ideal at moment but it should all (hopefully) go smoothly from here! should anything change, i’ll let you all know
anyways, that’s all i have to say for now! ty for being patient & for reading this mess, i appreciate you all :)

My MC loves rasing plants. Can you give any tips on how to incorporate that into the story?
Plants can serve as powerful symbols, metaphors, and plot devices, adding depth and richness to your stories, and are a great thing to include in your narrative! Whether you’re writing a lush, vibrant garden scene or a barren, lifeless landscape, incorporating plants into your writing can help you create immersive and memorable settings, but they can also serve to develop complex characters and worlds by considering your characters’ relationships with them or incorporating them into your world’s mythos.
The symbolic meaning of plants
Plants have long been associated with various symbolic meanings across cultures and traditions and can symbolise various themes and emotions. We have an introduction to the symbolism of flowers in this Tumblr post; however, here are some more ways you can think about how to incorporate the symbolism into your own writing.
Consider the real-world cultural symbolism you want to draw from. Symbolism that is common in one country, and one period of time may not be the only way to represent something.
Think about the health of the plants. For instance, wilted flowers can symbolise decay, loss, or the passage of time.
A character’s relationship with a plant can reveal aspects of their personality or emotional state, especially when combined with that plant’s symbolic nature.
The growth or decay of a plant can parallel a character’s personal growth or decline in line with the character trait that plant represents.
Consider researching whether a plant has multiple symbolic meanings and whether you can use that to give your characters depth.
Use plants to develop characters
Plants can also be used to develop characters by reflecting their personalities, backgrounds, or emotional states. For example:
A character who meticulously tends to their plants may be detail-oriented, patient, and disciplined.
A character with a neglected or overgrown garden might be struggling with personal issues or feeling overwhelmed.
A character who keeps a specific type of plant, such as a rare orchid, may have a unique backstory or quirk.
A character’s favourite plant or flower can reveal their cultural background, memories, or aspirations.
An allergy or aversion to certain plants can add depth to their personality and create potential conflicts or challenges.
A character’s knowledge of plants, such as their medicinal properties or cultural significance, can showcase their intelligence, education, or heritage.
Writing plants into world-building
In the setting of your story, plants can play a crucial role in world-building. Consider the following:
If writing genre fiction, create unique, fictional plants that have specific properties or uses within your world, such as a plant that glows in the dark or one that can heal wounds.
Use plants to create a sense of atmosphere or mood. A dark, foreboding forest can evoke feelings of danger or mystery, while a lush, vibrant garden can convey a sense of peace and tranquility.
Consider how the climate and geography of your world would influence the types of plants that grow there. A desert setting might feature hardy, drought-resistant plants, while a tropical setting would have more lush, exotic vegetation.
Incorporate plants into your world’s mythology or folklore. Certain plants might be sacred to specific cultures or have legendary origins.
Show how plants are used in daily life, such as for food, medicine, clothing, or shelter, to add depth and realism to your world.
Create atmosphere with plants
Plants can be powerful tools for creating atmosphere and setting the mood in your writing.
Consider the sensory details associated with plants, such as their scent, texture, and appearance.
Use vivid descriptions of plants to immerse your readers in the setting and convey the desired emotional tone. The presence or absence of plants can also symbolise the overall state of the world or society.
Use plants to create contrast between different settings or to reflect changes in the story’s tone.
If your characters are associated with plants, show how their stories develop and change by reflecting those same changes in the plants that surround them.
Plants as plot devices
Plants can serve as powerful plot devices in your stories. They can be used to:
Create obstacles or challenges for characters, such as a poisonous plant or a rapidly growing vine that blocks their path.
Provide clues or solutions to mysteries, like a rare flower that holds the key to a puzzle.
Serve as a catalyst for character growth or change, such as a character learning to nurture a plant and, in turn, themselves.
Represent the passage of time or the changing of seasons, mirroring the story’s progression.
They can be used to create suspense and foreshadow future story beats.
Serve as a symbol of hope or resilience if they survive and flourish despite harsh conditions.
Research plants for authenticity
When incorporating real-world plants into your writing, it’s essential to research their characteristics, habitats, and cultural significance to ensure authenticity. Things to look for might include:
Research the specific characteristics, growth patterns, and care requirements of the plants you include.
Consider the climate, soil type, and seasonal changes that affect the plants in your story’s setting.
Use reliable sources such as botanical gardens, gardening books, or online plant databases.
Incorporate sensory details such as the texture of leaves, the colour of flowers, or the taste of fruits.
Avoid relying only on stereotypes or generalisations about plants to maintain authenticity.
If you’re writing about a specific culture or time period, research the plants that were significant to that context and how they were used.
Visit local gardens, parks, or natural areas to observe plants firsthand and gather inspiration for your descriptions.

Hello! So, I want to write a story in a mild fantasy setting(mild bc there are other sentient races but magic is not that common) and I want to write my main character as a person with intellectual disability. But I wonder if, by having ID, they wouldn't be able to be a good fighter (this is a core trait). I also don't know if stress and trauma can lead someone with ID to end up losing their abilities to function (the MC has PTSD). How can I make this work?
Hey!
A person with ID could be a good fighter - with some caveats.
Most important here would be: what is the severity of their disability? That's how ID is categorized; mild, moderate, severe, and profound. If theirs is severe and especially profound, I would probably lean towards "no". But for mild and moderate it should be fine.
Other thing: what is the cause of their intellectual disability? ID can exist on its own, but it often has some kind of syndrome attached to it. The less different issues they have, the easier it would be for them to fight. If you look at intellectually disabled professional athletes, almost all of them will be in the "mild ID with no other disabilities" bucket, though there will be some with Down Syndrome (majority of people with DS have hypotonia, but it's such a common disability that there are actual bodybuilders with DS). For someone with e.g. Rett Syndrome, fighting would probably be off the table due to all the other symptoms.
Last thing would be the type of fighting. Most would work fine, but some kinds of combat wouldn't be the best choice - for example, making them a sniper wouldn't make much sense; there's too much math and very quick decision-making involved with it, I think.
Stress and trauma would work the same for someone with ID as for someone without it when it comes to PTSD. So if it's severe, it could cause significant problems like completely losing the ability to function. The only major difference is that an intellectually disabled person would probably get stressed much more easily when it comes to triggers, maybe also worse emotional control and such. But it depends on the person a lot.
You mentioned that magic isn't too common in their world, but if they happen to use it, I think it would be great to show them struggling to learn magic, or being behind on what someone their age should be able to do, etc.
I hope this helps,
mod Sasza

☆彡Progress Report # O1
Hello! This is the first progress report for my upcoming IF Rains In Heaven. These progress reports will be posted periodically (either once a month or once every two months) to update everyone with how writing and coding is going.
☆ Deadlines and Goals Summary ☆
Current Word Count: 6.1K Prologue Progress: 99% completed Chapter 1 Progress: 50% completed Writing Completion Deadline: December 31st 2024 First Demo Completion Deadline: End of March 2025
Keep reading for a detailed report
☆ December progress ☆
As of today, I have written 6.1K words for both the Prologue and Chapter 1, unedited and uncoded. I'm almost done writing the scenes where MC first meets and gets to know Ethos, Oliver, and V. I should be about 50% done with writing Chapter 1.
Outside of story writing, I've been making changes to the personality and behavior statistics I plan on implementing for the MC. The statistics are now more aligned with traits someone may develop as a result of childhood trauma and abuse. I've also edited the story outline, moving certain scenes that was supposed to be in Chapter 1, into their own chapter. This was because I believed Chapter 1 would be too long if I inputted what was planned instead of splitting it. Now, Chapter 1 and 2 will be set when MC is 5 years old - the start of everything going downhill - and Chapter 3 will time skip to their current ages where MC is 20 years old. I am also contemplating make a small change to m!Y's name so that instead of Yaran, it would be something like Yale. Not sure yet though.
For the remaining half of December, I will continue to work on writing Chapter 1 and also placing the final touches to the UI on twine (i.e. saves, accessibility functions etc.) so that I can work on coding more freely in January.
☆ Goals for the New Year ☆
Coding of the prologue and Chapter 1 will (hopefully) start in January and last until the end of February. I do have classes then so the amount of work I put into coding each day will be limited.
The goal is to have the demo out and running by the end of March, but my personal target would be beginning or mid-March. I have no set date yet.
I'm also deciding whether to ask for beta-readers. I've never been confident in my writing and it would be helpful to have some people identify errors that I missed.
☆ Chapter 1 Teasers ☆
Chapter 1 (and 2) will officially introduce you to 4 out of 6 romantic interests, though that is not the main focus. These two chapters will mainly be focused developing skills, formulating opinions, detailing appearances, and the downfall of your relationship with your family.
Chapter 1 specifically, will be quite a rollercoaster. It starts happy and pure, but the ending turns dark and heartbreaking. You might be in for a ride!
☆ Final Words ☆
In the meantime, I will be answering any asks about the story and/or the characters. Some asks will take longer for me to respond to but I'll be sure to answer all of them, even if it's to say “I can't give you an answer that won’t spoil the story”. I'll also try to start posting character profiles for the characters. Probably starting with Nolan. Let me know what information you want to see about the characters!
Thank you for all the love I got in the past couple weeks. It hasn't even been a month and we’re at 400+ followers! I’m happy to know that many of you are excited for my IF and I hope I reach everyone’s expectations. Just a reminder though that this is my first time doing something like this (creating an IF) so please be patient and kind with my work.
Hope everyone has a happy holiday!
Dated: December 14, 2024

Thank you for all your work on this! It's quickly become one of my comfort IFs and I'm very excited to see what the rewrite brings! I also absolutely LOVE the idea of the new mechanic, especially hearing that there may be a possibility of prolonged pining. It's all just *chef's kiss* mmm, mmm, mmm so good! I did have some questions about your plans for the new mechanic. Will each RO have their own threshold for when the romantic choices come up or will it be pretty even across the board? Will MCs with certain personality traits have an easier time getting the platonic levels to rise and get to the romantic choices than others?
For anyone who doesn't know about this yet, there is a certain threshold to trigger the romance choices with each RO. Once you have a certain amount of platonic points with them, those will become available. I have not yet set an amount, but it will be pretty even amongst them (though the romance itself has different paces).
It is also true that you can simply raise their platonic stats without ever romancing them. (You can basically play as aro, aroace)
MC's personality doesn't impact on their ability or ease in getting closer to the ROs, because the choices to raise platonic/romantic points are the same for everyone, just posed in different ways depending on your Hound's traits.
