#and for all I know demos will be the one to be absolutely crushed the same way Sib was crushed in arr

[hythlodaeus-mynewoldfriend]

Demos is readying to see something new and is going along with things on his own terms now. He always coped better with life and the hardships that came from all that happened, he’s come out a lot healthier and opening up more to people and expanding his world, so for him he’s ready for this especially since by the time it happens it’ll have been 2-3 years since the end of EW and the scions have departed to him returning to the msq in 6.4.

Honestly this expansion couldn’t have come at a better time for Sib as she was the most broken and suffered the most throughout, but where she differs is she never truly confronted any of it. She got the tools and the first steps but has stayed in those early stages of mental recovery. Once cleared to go back out into the world she takes up more of an identity as an anonymous adventurer because she never got to actually accomplish what she set out to do in ARR before being tossed into the life of a hero, she spends a long while needing to find herself beyond the titles she’s been given her whole life that she clung too so tightly. With the current storyline happening she’s having to actively confront the trauma of losing her brother and the ramifications of finding out the truth from her father that he didn’t die right away, she’s having to take these tools and skills she’s learned and learning and apply them because she’s still repressing and putting on a face. She’s not as over everything that happened as she’d lead you to believe so her having this relatively lower stakes situation is good for her to really truly start work on recovery from all that trauma and learning how to live a life again knowing these things dont just go away and will be with her always and being able to keep going forward as a real person, as her true self.

From where we sit at the moment, Dawntrail feels strange tonally for my WoL. The one-two punch of Shadowbringers into Endwalker left her broken in many ways, and Alahra is still ultimately the weary wanderer of the Shadowbringers finale, duty-bound to continue on but not always sure that she can. I'm thinking a lot about whether she'll be ready to journey to the New World with the exuberance Meteor displays in the teaser trailer

So a question for all you WoLs out there:

Is your WoL ready for this new adventure? Have they managed to move on from the weight of Endwalker, or do they still bear scars from it?

[ramblinscramblin]

I LOVE THE KISSING HCS!! You wrote all the characters super duper well!! May I request reader is super busy and doesn't have enough time for mercs? And how the mercs would react? >,>

(Esp sniper, I feel like once he finds someone he trusts, he becomes the most clingiest man..)

→Mercs with a Busy Reader!

Genre: Fluff, a bit of angst

Characters: all the mercs!

Yes!! Thanks so much for the req anon, here we go! I decided to do an established relationship for this one, hope that’s alright!

Scout

Oh this will not be tolerated.

Scout is near impossible to ignore when he wants something, persistent beyond belief. If he wants your attention he is going to do whatever he has to do to get it.

The times where you do have time for him he spends most of it whining about how little he sees you.

When he’s not doing that though, Scout is constantly checking to make sure you’re having a good time with him. Going out of his way to make you laugh more than usual, and doing stupid things to get your attention.

Really afraid of you getting bored of him, and thinks you being busy will make you forget why you like him.

Abandonment issues are a bitch.

He is pretty pathetic, but he’s too proud to say any of it out loud, so he keeps it to himself. Just follows you around like a lost dog when you’re around, talking your ear off about all the things you missed while you were busy.

Doesn’t allow for a second of silence, just trying to keep your attention as much as possible. He’s so used to feeling like he has to work for attention so he’s not any different with you.

“Oh, did I tell you what happened with the teleporta’ the other day? It was wild, straight up I…” he continues rambling on and on.

At first you mistake it for genuine excitement for spending time with you again, but eventually you realize how disjointed his rants are and how anxious he sounds. He’s hardly even breathing in between sentences.

“Scout, scout! Slow down, relax,” you say in a light chuckle, grabbing his hand. Rubbing your thumb along the back of it. “Take it easy babe, deep breaths.”

“What? What happened?” He asked cluelessly, probably didn’t even realize he was doing it.

You just give him a big kiss, and then another for good measure.

You reassure him how much you like him, and how you being busy doesn’t change that at all. Once you start being all sweet to him he will turn to mush in your arms whining about how you’ve been neglecting him.

You make sure to give him some much needed attention that night.

Demoman

Demo HATES it when you’re busy. He’s way less clingy than Scout is, and definitely less pathetic about it, but it gets under his skin in a crazy way.

Will probably plan a cutesy date for you two. But when you get pulled away again? God he’s crushed.

Drinks to deal with it, that’s the only real way he knows how to deal with big feelings, so this is no different really.

You come back to an absolute blubbering mess, it’s almost impossible to understand him, but you definitely get the gist.

Felt so rejected that you left from the thing he planned for the two of you, and you feel SO GUILTY. You had felt bad before, but Tavish is pretty good about hiding his hurt so you figured he’d be okay.

You drop everything to stay with him that night of course, and the two of you share a nice quiet night together.

As soon as he wakes up he starts apologizing, remembering how he acted the night before.

“Oh my god, m’ so sorry,” he said the second he opened his eyes.

You kiss his forehead “no I’m sorry. I’m so so sorry for skipping out on our date.”

“S’okay,” he mumbled, just happy to have you here now.

You make it up to him by having a really romantic date night with him.

Sniper

Yes anon just like you said he is the clingiest man.

Shows it in weird covert ways though, just following you around like a shadow. Sometimes you kind of forget he’s there.

Doesn’t want to really say anything because he knows it’s not like it’s your choice to be busy, he knows you rather spend all your time with him. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that he feels super neglected.

I imagine he’s pretty secure typically, but he might become nervous that you’re getting tired of him. Won’t show any of that, you’ll probably never know about it.

Frequently calls his parents about you, they get annoyed at his lamenting. But they’re happy he finally found someone he can tolerate.

He doesn’t mind alone time in relationships honestly, but it gets to a point where it’s too much for him.

This is really the only time he’s the one to initiate physical contact, pretty much the second the two of you are alone.

(Given of course that the two of you have already been together for a considerable amount of time).

“Sniper I’m so sorry I’ve been so busy—“ he cut you off by wrapping his arms around you and kissing your face all over.

You yelp in surprise but ultimately just let him get it all out of his system, fighting it would be unwise. Not that you’d want too.

Once he’s done he pulls back staring at you intently “so I take it you missed me,” you say a little slyly.

He shrugs a little, leaning down to kiss your neck “maybe a lil’” he says softly.

You’re not getting away from him for a long time, may as well just accept it.

Solider

Solider isn’t clingy, and can exist perfectly fine without you.

Not like he wants to though, much prefers life with you in it.

Will act cranky without you though, much harder on the other mercs when you’re busy.

They literally beg you to spend more time with him, he’s killing them.

Extremely excited when you give him some much needed quality time

“Cupcake!” He exclaimed crushing your spine as he picked you up into a big head.

“I missed you too, love,” you struggle out, “but if you could please— you’re crushing me.”

He’s smiling the whole time as he complains about how terrible his teams has been treating him, loves it when you sympathize for him.

Absolutely mopey if you get pulled away again.

So long as when you’re with him you aren’t distracted and there are times when you are with him then he doesn’t take much offense to it. Considers himself to be a fairly busy individual as well, doesn’t mind going your separate ways. My man is secure af in relationships.

Engineer

Engineer, too, is a very busy individual, so he doesn’t take much offense to it.

But he gets tense without you, your his rock and he loses himself in his work if you’re not around enough.

The two of you have to make a mutual agreement to not get so wrapped up in your work.

When you two are together you probably just spend a lot of time enjoying how quiet and calm things are when you aren’t buried under projects.

Maybe you even make some space to get work done together, like taking whatever you’re doing into his workshop. If you’re going to be busy, may as well be busy together.

“Hon, could you pass me that wrench?” Engie asked, holding one of his machines in place.

Without looking up from your project you pick up the wrench “here you are dear,” you say casually handing it to him.

“Much obliged,” he responded, and the two of you returned to your own little worlds.

Parallel play goes crazy.

Pyro

Pyro doesn’t like it one bit.

Things feel calmer when you’re around, and when you’re not, they can feel quite discorded and lonely. They feel like you’re one of the few people who actually may understand them, so when you’re not around they tend to feel pretty lost and upset.

It’s not like they need you, but you make things more manageable for them.

You come back to a big fire I bet, as that’s Pyros only real way of expressing their emotions.

You feel really bad for leaving them all alone and try to make it up to them with a lot of cuddles and kisses. It almost works.

You really do have to make up with them, not just because you love them but for the sake of all the flammable things and people in the area.

You guys spend a lot of quality time together after that, and Pyro keeps you from ever going too far. Not that you mind though.

Medic

Medic gets very passive aggressive when he’s not given enough attention.

You might actually think you being buys is not a problem at first, the way he continues to insist that he doesn’t care. But after enough under his breath comments it becomes glaringly obvious that he actually does care.

He gets really huffy and cold when he feels neglected. You’re gonna have to do a lot to win his favor back.

“Come on, I said I was sorry,” you say with a frown.

“I said I don’t care,” Medic huffs

You roll your eyes as Medic turns his back on you, you sigh a little "okay well, I care. It was so very cruel of me to neglect you like that. I'm sorry my dear."

Medic presses his lips together to hide his smile "well you had better be!" He exclaims crossing his arms.

Pretty needy after that, you have to be on top of quality time with him from that point on.

He really does try to be understanding but he's a high maintenance partner and the two of you knew that going into things, so you have to just accept that fact.

Flowers and chocolate may be in order to get back into his good graces.

Heavy

Heavy is also pretty secure.

He's needy, but he is secure enough to not take it personally.

When you are around him he doesn't do any thing special beyond being a little bit more touchy with you, it's usually pretty unnoticable, but if you look it there.

You were telling him a story once from a time when you spent a long time away from him, and he stroked your arm as you talked.

"Heavy--" you say beetween a chuckle "--that tickles."

"Well maybe Heavy misses you while you're away," He says lowly as his fingers trace down your arm and to your hand.

"Oh you're such a sap!" You exclaim.

Heavy won't say it (because he doesn't want you to feel pressured) but he would absolutely love it if you surprised him with a romantic date night when you came to see him after a week of being busy. He doesn't need it, but it is very much appreciated.

Really doesn't want to come off as clingy and will go to great lengths to not be seen as such.

He totally is though, whoops.

Spy

Being the romantic that he is he likely finds some creative way to get your attention.

Maybe he let's himself into your room and sets up a romantic night in for the two of you, your favorite food and wine, candles and roses, all the works.

Pretends it's all for you and your benefit, Spy of course is too high and mighty to actually miss anyone. Even if that's what it really seems like what is happening.

"Wow I can't believe you did all this for me," you say gently, sitting at the seat that Spy pulled out for you.

"Of course, the very best for you mon amour," he says pushing you in towards the dinner he set out for the two of you "I know how very terrible it must've been without me."

His expression his smug as he sits down in front of you, picking up his glass of wine "sure, this is all definitely for me," you say teasingly, before he responds you continue "I wish you had told me before though, I don't exactly feel romantic date night ready."

He assures you that you look perfect, and if not conviced he certainly knows something else you can change into to look even better.

Spy just goes right into grand gesture mode when anything in the relationship happens.

Spy thinks very highly of himself, so he's not really worried about you getting bored of him or how much time you spend together.

Needy in his own way though.

Eek! I hope this is okay anon I've been having the worst writers block,,, sorry its so late I hope u like it! ≧◡≦

[phoenixeclipse-lmkau]

so as it seems that you seem to be busy with life, it seems only fair to drop what idea crumbs I have to help tide you over while you deal with life.

imagine this if you will, in one of the many days they spend travelling, reader spirit and the cubs have found a hot spring to relax in after harsh and cold weather, and everyone is taking the time to clean and enjoy the warmth. the cubs are out of sight, assumingly having fun in a further part of the spring, and reader and spirit have bonding time talking about their pasts, helping clean each other’s hair and whatever else girls do in a girls night.

during all of this, the conversation ends up on readers family and how she is worried about their reactions to her being missing. spirit asks about her family, and reader respond; mum, dad, any applicable siblings and pets. and spirit asks if reader is married/mated/whatever term spirit is familiar with. reader says no. fiance? nope. boyfriend? nope. so… any crushes? none on any real people but do fictional count? spirit says sure, tell the stories of your fictional crushes

so

do you remember the ask?

where you said that reader has a crush on sun wukong and macaque?

what are the odds reader has figured out that she is in jjtw and not generic chinese/eastern fantasy?

from her perspective, they would absolutely be fictional with what little info she had. so she spills all the info about them and their adventures and why she had a crush on them, only for spirit to go at the end:

“you know that they're real, right?”

“wat”

“and warlords?”

“???”

and so spirit informs her with what info she has on them, their battles and conquests, and what exactly they tend to think of humans and do to them.

“best to avoid them at all costs, and keep your knowledge between us”

and so, everything said is kept secret between reader, spirit, and the six eared macaque who immediately spills the secrets to sun wukong.

his ears still work, even in the form of a cub, you know?

what would they focus on, her knowledge about their future, or the fact that she has a crush on them?

anyways hope life gets better and you get good sleep soon.

Eek!! Thank omg the feels!!

Spirit would totally try to keep Reader away before she even finds out who the cubs are. (I'm still trying to think of a reason that she hasn't clued in on Macaque. Oh, maybe most people just can't see his ears. They why would reader? Damnit I'm ranting my own questions for my own au!! )

They would totally be concentrated on how she likes them. A few exchanged words on how she knows about them sure and the future. But mostly, their darling likes them!! So why is Spirit telling her to stay away!? No that won't do at all.

They will be righting that... by righting that Wukong will probably give Spirit several scratches. He's a monkey cub. They can't really hurt her and adult monkey demoness.

At least not yet anyway. I gotta say that Spirit is putting a target on her back. Of course, they have figured out that by now, they can't kill her. That would absolutely wreck Reader's life in a bad way. They saw how she reacted with Spirit getting hurt.

But Boi, they will be very vocal about how she had crushes on them once they return to normal. Oh boy, they will be over the moon!

She can definitely expect (though unknowingly) to get lots of Monkey cuddles tonight.

Of course this also brings up how she'd react to knowing that they are real and warlords!? Okay so finding out that they're real is scary enough. She may have a crush but that doesn't mean she isn't also afraid. They killed people after all. Sun Wukong fought against the celestial realm and almost won! And to her limited knowledge of the jttw storyline Macaque had almost as much power as he did.

Of course in the original Macaque was cannibalistic apparently. (I haven't read that part. I know more of lmk than jttw but I'm trying to read it, slowly) HE IS NOT CANNIBALISTIC IN MY AUS! Why because I said so.

But Reader doesn't know this and so she is absolutely terrified. They were also last spotted where she had appeared when she came to this world. Did they know who she was? Did they hear her? She of course pushes these thoughts away, she shouldn't be ridiculous.

"They are the Demon Monkey Warlords. They don't just hunt humans, they hunt for their territories and valuables. They won't go out of their way to hunt you... unless they get curious or they might. No, no don't cry!"

Let's just say she will definitely be stressed, luckily her little monkey friends are their to give her some stress free snuggles.

Thank you! I got to write something today cause of this. I am still working on other asks I have. But for now, this is what I've got. If anyone has ideas like this... send them my way. This made me really happy.

Thank you!!

I loved this ask!! Thank you!! Hopefully, I'll have some time this weekend to finish writing out the responses for the asks I have in my inbox. And hopefully work on the next part some more. Hehe~ the monkeys thought they could- shoot no spoilers.

[childrenofcain-if]

I absolutely love how my MC for D and C are vastly different. For C, my mc is definitely a bit of a menace and a boldfaced flirt, and i lived for it. Where as for D i chose a very shy sweet mc and how they treat them made me go "awww" then "fucking hell" because i know the pain will eventually come 😭

I wanted to thank you for the gay panic from V in the update because, honestly, it made me feel like a 14yo with my first crush and how insanely confused i was at that. It really made me feel nostalgic to read and i smiled at how far we as a society have actually come in terms of how accepting we are even in countries like my own where there's still so much shit surrounding sexuality as a whole. Shoutout to the South African in the demo 🙌 lmao i never see my people mentioned, so it was cute 🤣

And i am so obsessed with W... well with everyone, really. You've made a whole list of ROs that each need their own save slot because it's very hard to choose a route. I really enjoyed the update. 😇

oof you’re certainly not underestimating the pain that is to come 😭 NO ONE IS SAFE FROM THE ANGST WAVES, THEY CAN RUN BUT THEY CAN’T HIDE 😈

i’m so happy you liked V’s section, honestly theirs was the sweetest route i could write and hopefully i did it justice. there’s different responses to the budding feelings based on their and MC’s gender and i was hoping it was clear 👀 MC has the potential to be V’s bi awakening after all. it is still going to be painful for them to completely accept it tho, unless you’re going for more traditional route with both the characters being the opposite sex.

ahh i see alison has one more appreciator to add to the list! shoutout to jo’burg, especially, because that’s her hometown 🫶🏻

thank you so much for your comment ahh, i’m so pumped to keep writing and get the story going so y’all can see what tragedies i’m cooking up 🤭

✦ 3VOLS : ISSUE 1, RAFAYEL

Featuring @maimochies, a well known Love & Deepspace author, as the spotlight creator!

IM NEW, WHATS "3VOLS" THE MAGAZINE?

This will serve as a "mini masterlist" where we compile links of works from different creators based on the character. And yes, its not limited to fanfiction. This is open to artists, graphic design/gfx creators & editors. (Basically, if you've created any kind of creative media related to the character)

MAIMOCHIES. WHO IS SHE?

mai is a rafayel enjoyer and a love & deepspace author! she has been writing in her corner of the internet with the pretty rafayel themed blog. have you seen her around? well, we have interviewed her recently with 4 simple questions. let's get to know mai better!

what got you into making love&deepspace content? are there any creators who inspired you to do so?

mai : funny enough ages ago when the first demo trailer came out for love and deepspace I didn't even know about it!! I happened to stumble upon a short clip of zayne and saved the video on a whim because he was attractive >·< then, as fate would have it, the game's official trailer popped up on my fyp and I got hooked, downloaded the game and haven't looked back since <333 l&ds is still new to the tumblr scene but I absolutely adore my mutuals' takes and fics on the boys!!

as a rafayel fan—what is your favorite headcannon of him? this can be your own or others

mai : hmmm… I think my favorite headcanon about rafayel is that he secretly cares a lot more than he lets on. lingers outside your apartment to make sure you've gotten home safe, always sending you a goodnight and good morning text, oh so conveniently shows up with a warm ready made meal when he knows you're having a particularly hard day, he cares deeply but he's scared of showing it.

if you could describe your favorite character with 5 words, what would it be?

mai : a gift from the stars

[canyoufucksoniccharacters]

It's time.

Alright, this is gonna be a long one. Not only am I covering the canon, mainline game Sonic, but his offshoots as well. Specifically, I will be covering Sonic in the mainline games, the Paramount movie version, Sonic Prime, and a tiiiiiiny tiny little itty bit of Archie. IDW is, from what has been implied as of the past about year and a half, canon; and it will be treated as such (with some caution, of course.), so it's not going to be handled separately.

Let's do this.

Alright, let's start as early as absolutely possible. There have been several, several statements regarding Sonic's age; the earliest of which was courtesy of our good old friends over at...

There would be a certain (mildly loud) funny video here, but Tumblr's weird barely present copyright protection probably kicked in. Anyways...

In the Sonic The Hedgehog cartoon, also known as SatAM, we get 2 tidbits of information. In the 2-part special called Blast From The Past, we see that Sonic and Sally are about the same age, both being kids of just about equal maturity. Later, in episode 24, Sally states that her age is 16. So, far as we could tell, Sonic was 16, or around that range. Now, we know that these cartoons aren't canon, but they definitely did have an influence over the canon of the series. Fun fact for you, Sonic's love of chili dogs was made up by the cartoons, and later adopted during the modern era by the games. Ain't that neat?

Chili dog related tangent aside, this was the only source we had for Sonic's age at that point. I've seen some say that he was stated to be 15 in the manual for Sonic 2, but upon trying to verify that claim I came empty-handed. The manual does mention Tails being 8, but no mention of Sonic's age as far as I could tell; and the same goes for every other Classic Series game. Except for...

Sonic Jam, the Sonic game absolutely no one cares about! In part because it's not much more than a game compilation and tech demo that served as the stepping stone for Sonic Adventure 1. Sonic Jam includes profiles for Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Eggman. This is in both the Japanese and English version, and both contain ages for the characters! Tails is listed as 8, Knuckles as 15, and Eggman as "??" or Unknown, in the case of the English version.

This brings us to Sonic, who I will be using the Japanese profile for.

The part that says "年令" translates to "Age". So, here it says that Sonic ranges between 15 and 16... Whatever that means. In the English version, it just says 15. Either way, all these make sense for these games. Sonic's characterization back in the day was all in on the rebellious teenager angle, an effort to give him an air of edge and coolness that other platforming mascots didn't have, which did admittedly win people over during the heat of the console wars! Sonic was absolutely huge when the series was new, to a degree that other mascots just couldn't match up to. Of course, that dropped off over time, but that's a discussion for another day, and not on this blog. This blog is about gay sex, not the videogame industry.

So, Sonic is either 15 or 16, most likely 15. All is good here, everything lines up, other than maybe the fact that Amy was listed as 8 in the Sonic CD manual, but that's probably fine considering back then her crush on Sonic was treated as a one-sided admirer type thing, rather than an actual romantic interest (That was usually reserved for Sally in media that actually cared about that kinda thing, anyways.)

So, fast forward to the Dreamcast; Sonic gets a redesign! Longer limbs, green eyes, and overall less chibi-like and seemingly more mature appearance. So, you would assume he's older, right? After all, him an everyone else around him got the same treatment, except for Eggman who... Seemingly just became a smidge more realistic. A smidge, anyways. You can only be so realistic being shaped like Gru.

Well... Yeah! It would look like it, since no further statements about his age were made, and in the Archie comics, they actually aged him up a year to justify his change in design. Archie isn't canon, obviously, but it shows the direction that was taken; as the players aged, so did Sonic, no matter how much people got up in arms about the green eyes for some strange reason.

... And then Sonic Heroes came along.

Perfectly fine game, mind you! One of the more polarizing ones, sure, and some of the writing could have been a smidge better (specially on Amy's side of things), but overall not really anything egregious. But for our sake... This hellspawn was born.

Ah, the Sonic Heroes US manual. The root cause of incredibly stupid Sonic shipping discourse; as well as the really, really inaccurate Sonic Channel ages.

All vitriol aside, let's look at what it has to say about our blue blur.

... 15? Really? When our previous estimate was also 15-16? Are you actually telling me Sonic 1 to Heroes all happened within less than a year? Amy got aged up from 8 to 12, which... Either age would be a bit concerning considering they're still pushing the whole romantic interest thing, one-sided as it may still be. That aside, it makes no logistical sense for Sonic to still be 15 after he's literally physically shown to be older.

On top of that, this same manual ages Espio down from 17 (In the Chaotix manual) to 16, and Vector up from 16 to 20. Vector I can believe, but uh. Aging down isn't exactly a thing that most people do.

What's worse, this age was then listed in the official Sonic Channel website... Even after they made a game where the first thing you see is Sonic celebrating his birthday. Meaning he had to have been 14 before that game to stay 15, which is contradictory to say the least. Additionally, there's a potential time gap of 5 months between SA2 and Heroes, only ever referenced in the Playstation 3 PSN release of Sonic Heroes.

This age was never once modified, even after Sonic Forces' 6 month timeskip, meaning Sonic had a birthday party, was locked up for 6 months, and somehow didn't age a year during all that. Nor after the several infrastructure-demolishing incidents such as an entire city being flooded and wrecked, the planet being shattered into pieces, among others.

And you wanna know something funny? In Sonic Generations, Classic Sonic is explicitly stated to be Sonic from the past, which checks out considering how he behaves less maturely and is proportionally much smaller. And then in 2015, the Classic Sonic style guide comes out.

15.

15.

15.

Somehow. Some. Fucking. How. Classic Sonic is listed as 15... While Modern Sonic is listed as 15 too. Oh, Amy is also listed as 12, by the way. Despite that being her (ALLEGED) age in Sonic Heroes.

Unless they're from different universes or something, there's no way-

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE

Yeah, so, Sonic Forces released 2 years after that guide. And it tried, emphasis on tried, to retcon Classic Sonic into being an entirely separate character. This was, however, later undone by Sonic Origins both re-establishing the Classic games as taking place in the past, on top of a TailsTube episode saying as such; that Classic Sonic is, indeed, from the past. It's even stated that Modern Sonic is who Classic Sonic grew up to be!

IDW doesn't make our job any easier, either. This is information from when the Tangle & Whisper story was ongoing;

However... I'd take it with a grain of salt, as it's from before IDW was considered canon, and back when Sega was much more strict on the mandates and what they did and didn't allow in Sonic media. Plus, this was still the age listed on Sonic Channel, before they removed it.

Oh yeah, that. Why don't we talk about that?

On October of 2022, all the ages on Sonic Channel were removed.

This... Was a good move. SonAmy is still being pushed ever so very slightly, with Amy's crush still being present in a recent short even if she's much more mature about it now, which would make their age difference less than ideal. On top of that, the ages really just didn't line up chronologically speaking.

So, where does that leave us now?

In this interview, Takashi Iizuka is asked about Sonic's age; to which he responds that "He's a teenager."

"Teenager" is a bit of a loose definition, probably on purpose. Generally speaking, the range for teenager ranges from anywhere to 13-19, to 13-21 depending on who you ask. Some people make the cutoff at 18, though that's almost never done when it comes to scientific material.

So, let's recap. Sonic is still considered a teenager, but he's always been considered one, all the way back from the Classic series. So, we can safely assume Classic isn't 15; either that, or he was, and the modern series takes place during anywhere from 2-6 years, which I could believe. Either way, he's at minimum about 13-14, as he's a younger version of Sonic who hasn't hit a growth spurt yet.

Then, we have anywhere from 1 to 2 canon birthdays for Sonic, depending on whether you count Runners as canon or not (which I would admittedly not at all fault you for not considering it canon, considering it's a mobile game; and a discontinued one at that), as well as a 6-month timeskip during Forces, potential 5-month timeskip during Heroes (which isn't the most unbelievable proposition or anything, considering it would be a bit weird if Shadow was presumed dead only to show back up like a week later), and a bunch of events that have caused severe structural damage to key locations in the world, namely during Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Adventure 1 as the 2 biggest examples. Oh, and Sonic Forces throwing absolutely everything into disarray on a seemingly global scale, which would take quite a bit of time to be fixed, specially considering that's still an ongoing process in IDW.

On top of all this, it's outright shown that these things don't just happen every week or whatever, things happen off-screen, characters get time off to do their own stuff, and from the looks of it, Murder Of Sonic The Hedgehog is canon, as nothing there conflicts with canon and it's officially endorsed. Which means WE HAVE YET ANOTHER FUCKING BIRTHDAY PARTY, FOR AMY THIS TIME.

Further proving the point i just stated, let's look at the geographical Prison Island. This is what it looks like in Sonic Adventure 2.

A big, mechanical prison complex made out of nothing but cold hard metal. Filled with robots, not a single trace of nature in sight. Said nature however is not too far from these military bases, though! These forests are also on the island.

So, these are the two main parts of Prison Island. Abundant nature, and military facilities. There's very little difference once the story progresses further, though, as the island...

Fucking explodes. (Clip from Sonic Adventure 2 Real-Time Fandub. Credit to SnapCube.)

So, why is this relevant? Well, we revisit this location in Shadow The Hedgehog! The game, not the guy.

As we can see, there is no longer any difference between nature and construct. The base has been completely abandoned, and overtaken by the nearby forests, with greenery sprouting all over it. Now, it's not impossible that plant life in the Sonic series grows a bit faster than real plants, but methinks that an entire military base doesn't get overtaken by nature this hard within a month. There's entire new trees, grass and plants growing all over what was previously pavement, not even the walls are safe! Every single area is either covered in toxic waste, plant life, or both. Plant life that, again, needs time to grow. So there's likely a pretty big chunk of time between Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow The Hedgehog, even though they're only separated by 1 game, Sonic Heroes.

Add that to the many many reasons these things can't just happen on a week by week basis! On to my next point...

No, proportions don't really mean anything in terms of age. Sure, Vanilla is quite big, and so are the conductor and his wife, but Rouge is undoubtedly an adult and her proportions are more or less the same as everyone else. So all they help distinguish is between children (Tails, Cream) and non-children. In this exact screenshot we see that Vanilla is much taller than rouge, almost being at eye level with each other despite Rouge sitting on an elevated surface, while Vanilla is standing. This height difference is also present in the games, although we rarely get to see them next to each other.

So, all this taken into account, the fact Sonic has been a teenager since the Classic series, the fact there's been a few timeskips and at least 2 birthdays, several events that would need some time to recover from, specially with a still-ongoing recovery process after Forces, the fact Elise is allegedly 17 in 06 (which would make her whole romantic subplot with Sonic even more uncomfortable than it already is by default if he was any younger than say, idk about 16 years old at the least), among many other reasons that I may have forgotten to mention, the chances of Sonic being 15, hell, even 16 are very, very slim. At the very least, he's got to be about 17, and he could honestly be as old as 19 or 20 (depending on whether Iizuka meant he's of adolescent age or a teenager).

So, if you do still view Sonic as a minor, that's perfectly fine, and honestly believable; but with all these facts stacked up, as time goes on, it will be less and less likely that him being underage will be a real possibility. This isn't the Pokemon anime. There's actual structure, lore, and a proper sense of scale; and something like Sonic's age being frozen at 15-16 just wouldn't make any sense.

All this to say, Sonic is, most likely, no longer a minor. There's some wiggle room where he could be one, but 18-19 is the most likely option, specially considering how Frontiers was comfortable with pitching his voice down. Yes, it was for the sake of the game's tone, but Tails's voice for example didn't have that much of a difference to it, because he's a child and it would be weird for a character to sound so much older than they actually are- and this goes for Sonic too.

So, in conclusion, after extensive analysis and every source I could find for Sonic's age taken into account;

You can, most likely, fuck Sonic The Hedgehog.

...

BUT IT'S NOT OVER YET.

We need to take both his other iterations into consideration, as well as address characters whose fuckability status depends on him. First, the alternative versions.

Movie Sonic

This one's a kid. On top of acting much more immature and inexperienced, outright described as irresponsible- hell, Tom even says "Whether you wanna hear this or not, you're still just a kid. You've got some more growing up to do before you're ready to be the big hero". He acts like a kid, is referred to as a kid, and hell, it makes sense, the movies so far have adapted Sonic 1-3&K, the games where Sonic was still just starting out his adventures.

Prime Sonic

This one's... More uncertain. He's definitely quite immature and inexperienced; though he feels more... Reckless than anything else. More of an attitude problem than an age problem, really, considering how Amy and Shadow act, two characters who should be about the same age as him, but that act much more maturely for the most part.

This one's pretty up in the air, I'd say, considering how Prime seems to be comfortable having their own versions of the cast (going by how different Shadow seems to be and how he has seemingly no attachment to Rouge, who is one of the people he trusts the most in canon).

Oh yeah, I haven't watched season 3 yet, but I doubt it changes much of anything about this judgement.

THE SONIC-DEPENDENT ONES

THE ROBOT SONICS

While they're all likely able to consent (... Okay, Mecha MK. 1 is a bit more dubious on whether it's sapient), it would probably be unethical to fuck something that's made to look like someone who's a minor. While they were made when Sonic was definitely a minor, he isn't one anymore, and the resemblance is still there to pretty much the exact same degree, so there's really no ambiguity here.

You can fuck them. Go ham, robot-fuckers.

SCOURGE

Look, we're not covering the mess that Archie can be. But from what I gather, Sonic is, at most, 17 pre-SGW. And this is just an alternate version of that Sonic, who likely didn't go through all the uber weird shit that makes Archie Sonic's age a nightmare to deal with. So, no, unfortunately for a lot of you, you probably can't fuck Scourge. Fortunately, though...

SURGE

Surge's age is, according to this post by IDW artist and writer Evan Stanley, around Sonic's age. So, what goes for the hedgehog goes for the Tenrec, you can most likely fuck her. Go ham.

... Elise?

She was 17 during 06, and some time has passed since then, and it would be weird if she had any bigger of an age gap with Sonic, plus plenty of time has passed since 06, so... I guess you can? I don't see why you would, but power to you, I suppose. Can't judge.

MIGHTY AND RAY

These two have been here since SegaSonic The Hedgehog in the arcades, which happens even before Sonic 2 does! Ray is never once really implied to be young, no matter how much he may seem like Mighty's Tails equivalent (Which... He's not meant to be. He was made before Tails.), and he's most likely about even with Mighty, who is most likely the same age as Sonic, seeing how they're meant to be parallels (down to Sonic's sprites being rehashed for his sprites in Chaotix), and the Japanese manual for Knuckles' Chaotix listing him as 16.

They're here mostly because Mighty is a partial Sonic counterpart, and Ray tends to be anywhere that Mighty goes these days, so they might as well be treated as a package deal.

So, yes, you can most likely fuck them... Even if we have absolutely no idea what their modern versions look like. Seriously, where the hell have they been? At least we know they're fine, considering it's been stated that they're off on their own adventures these days.

Aaaand... That's it! That's all the Sonic-dependent characters I could think of, at least ones that I think don't really merit their own posts. TL;DR

Metal Sonic, Mecha Sonic, etc: Fuckable Scourge: Unfuckable Surge: Fuckable Elise: Fuckable Mighty: Fuckable Ray: Fuckable

The "Fuckable" marks should go with an asterisk, as Sonic's status is "Most Likely Fuckable", but still.

Phew. Finally done. I've spent pretty much all goddamn day writing this. Hopefully this is useful for someone. Hopefully. God knows it'll make my job easier.

I'll just go write the alt text and go eat something, this took... Way longer than I'd like to admit. See you when the post goes up.

Go ham, you beautiful horny bastards.

Edit: Future OP here! I had to remake this post because the DIC bit earlier somehow triggered some weird copyright stuff on Tumblr, basically hiding the post from anyone who isn't directly looking at the blog. In the meantime, I added that bit about Prison Island to further add to his potential fuckability. So his margin for being a minor is even smaller now! How fun! Anyways, now I'll be seeing myself out for the time being. Thanks, and have fun.

New LACUNA COIL Album To Arrive Before End Of 2024

In a recent interview with Brazil's Sonoridades Inc., singer Cristina Scabbia of Italian goth metal veterans LACUNA COIL spoke about the progress of the writing and recording sessions for the band's follow-up to 2019's "Black Anima" album. She said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I can't really tell you a lot. I can tell you that we are progressing very fast. We are almost, like, 100… We completed, let's say, the demoing. We still have to record the rest of the songs, but we will soon — probably after the tour, after the [May 2024] North American tour. And if everything goes as projected, before the end of the year [it] will be released. And that's already a big news, because we always say, 'We don't know. Maybe.' … I absolutely love the songs. I'm part of the process. But I'm very pleased."

Asked if LACUNA COIL's 2023 single "Never Dawn", for which the band partnered with CMON, the renowned board game publisher behind the popular game "Zombicide", will be on the upcoming album, Cristina said: "I think it will be. I think it will be, 'cause it will make sense. And it also fits with the other songs — it really fits with the other songs. Many heavy songs."

LACUNA COIL has just completed the "Ignite The Fire" U.S. tour with support from NEW YEARS DAY and OCEANS OF SLUMBER.

Last month, LACUNA COIL released another new single, "In The Mean Time", featuring Ash Costello of NEW YEARS DAY. The song's title is a reference to the mean times the world is living in, as well as a reference to the state the band itself is in, between cycles.

When "In The Mean Time" was first made available, LACUNA COIL said in a statement: "'In The Mean Time' is a reflection on how much our society has generally 'lost the plot'. We are living in really mean times filled with unhappy people: lonely, anxious, depressed, destructive. The pressure that crushes from the outside doesn't allow us to see things with the right clarity.

"This song is like group therapy: not a lamentation, but acceptance that once broken, it's hard to put oneself back together again.

"We need to take our minds off all the inescapable toxicity and find that there's so much more to this life… and know that in the meantime, everything cannot be aligned.

"We invited Ash Costello from NEW YEARS DAY to feature on the track and we're thrilled she came on board adding exactly what we needed for this song with her warm voice and charisma."

Costello said: "I am deeply honored to join LACUNA COIL on tour for the first time, to have the incredible opportunity to lend my guest vocals to a new track and appear in the music video. Working alongside the powerhouse vocalist Cristina has been a privilege, and I may be biased in saying that 'In The Mean Time' has quickly become my favorite by LACUNA COIL. Its message about embracing individuality and not conforming deeply resonates with me."

Last July, LACUNA COIL released the official lyric video for "Never Dawn".

LACUNA COIL has spent some of the last couple of years promoting "Comalies XX", the "deconstructed" and "transported" version of the band's third album, "Comalies".

"Comalies XX" was made available on October 14, 2022 via Century Media Records.

LACUNA COIL celebrated the 20th anniversary of "Comalies", by performing it in its entirety at a one-night-only concert on October 15, 2022 at Fabrique in Milano.

"Comalies" was originally released on October 29, 2002 through Century Media Records. The LP, which featured the band's breakthrough single "Heaven's A Lie", has reportedly gone on to sell over 300,000 copies in the United States alone.

hey, guess who's back!!

HAPPY NEW YEARRRR

incoming bugs nowwww she starts backing up, suitcase dragging tightly next to her. "Maybe I'd genuinely like to know."

You start to notice that something isn't right when you approach the suitcase's corpse, shoving the agent aside by her shoulder. You're expecting to see cracked vials of genetic material, crushed electrical equipment, reams and reams of paper cataloging a genetic sequence, maybe. Instead you see the sleeve of a sweater and a burst tube of leaking toothpaste. There's a few pairs of boxers strewn in the road, little personal odds and ends littered around. 

Oh, this moment makes me feel so bad for her. Sorry for being an asshole, will continue to be a villain and a pain in your ass tho <3

The OverSight agent is apologizing to the sedan's driver, scurrying around to gather up her stuff. she tips the suitcase's lid over with her foot, piling items in hurriedly, sloppily. 

Giving her a quiet confirmation, you turn your focus back to R.. She's still facing you, suitcase slack in her hands, cautiously waiting for a response. Is this intentional? Even after reading it again I’m not sure 

Actually checking the code it does not seem to be? 

Giving her a quiet confirmation, you turn your focus back to $!{R_name}. $!{R_heshe}@{R_plural 're|'s} still facing you, suitcase slack in ${R_hisher} hands, cautiously waiting for a response. FEEDBACK SECTION Reney is such a cutie tho, she's def my fav from the demo rn. I've been wondering if we don't become a super hero can we not romance her? ALSO ALSO, I love how you did the new fight system. It's so much better than the old one, because it was annoying when you wanted to do something but couldn't because you didn't choose the right genome/parts. This system feels more fair imo. I enjoyed so much the comments about our powers/enhancements. It really makes each character we play as feel unique and totally different. I was surprised how much attention to detail you had when it comes to our powers. Of course, if I'm bored and see a fast food I'd want to look at what people ordered using my supervision. There are many little moments like that which add up and make the game a much better experience. It signals to a player that our choices actually matter and do impact the story, which is something that doesn't happen as often as it should in interactive fiction. Even though this is just the demo, I see a lot of potential. More general life stuff, Good luck with your internship this year. Try not to overwork yourself and remember to take rests. We can wait for updates. I hope 2025 will be a good year to you! and if you do ever open up beta applications i'll be the first to apply LOL

HAPPY NEW YEARSS WAHOO🎉 (I say seven days after the holiday)

Capitalization errors fixed! And I FINALLY found the discrepancy in my code that was displaying Sullivan's name as the default "R." They are now actually Reid or Reney in text. Thx for bringing my attention to it 🤘🤘

On ur comments & feedback-

You can definitely romance Reney even if you stay a villain, I love that dynamic. Feel free to keep being mean to her. She'll get back at you soon enough.

I'm super pleased that the new fight system is working out!! Good to hear that the flavor and variation from the different powers still comes through. I'll be lengthening the first Sullivan fight and changing the optional prologue combat to fit the new form.

Cheers to the the well wishes, same to you!!! (>_<)> Thanks again 4 all the bug help. I'll probably move to a closed beta once I reach later chapters, in which case u will absolutely be welcome aboard.

[frumfrumfroo]

Haha I've read your blog for so long I must've read one of your Rian Johnson!TROS posts in the past, so I'm sorry for sending a repetitive question; I had never encountered this idea that even Rian's TROS wouldn't have been good!

It's weird to think though, if he had made TROS, it would've come out later and had a 2020 release, which wouldn't have had a big cinema opening. But then maybe Disney would've delayed until 2021. Wow, I wonder how different the storytelling landscape would be by now? I feel like I'm seeing lots of properties explore Reylo-adjacent relationships in the TROS way - the good old punitive romance, bad guy and a girl resisting him nobly, or giving into darkness - and it makes me so annoyed lol.

I think it was not that long after tros I got an ask about it, so it's definitely years ago lol. I don't mind! I just hate when I know I wrote down some thoughts already and can't find the post T_T

I didn't even consider that! We would have been waiting a long time. Still, it would have been absolutely worth it if it meant we got an appropriate ending. It would have been worth their while, too, because imagine how much more receptive people would be to their various money-milking shenanigans if they hadn't put a bullet through the heart of sw and taken a dump on the entire GFFA. The stench of tros is on everything now.

Yeah, and that's nothing new. That was always a very popular way of tapping into the romance market and the hype those tantalising Gothic pairings effortlessly generate without actually committing to its genre conventions or doing anything remotely challenging. They don't care about pissing off the romance audience because that's not their target demo, they just want to piggyback off how huge and mobilised that audience is and know they can get away with paying them crumbs. 'Subverting' romance conventions is always seen as the Artistic and Mature thing that Real Writers do, because romance has been pushed even further into the genre ghetto as 'geek culture' has become mainstream.

And, eternally, 'subverting' redemption is True Art because that's 'realistic'. We must all remember to crush any flutters of hope we may find ourselves experiencing and see the world as a grey, cynical wasteland where people can't change and nothing will ever get better.

Man, I'm having a bitter one today. Sorry about that. Thanks for sticking with me for so long!

[theo-grayson]

Anyone who's taken a look at my notes knows I Fucking Ramble, so don't look here unless you wanna see me share way too many thoughts about Our Life: Now and Forever (including way too much about my personal life)

Guys. Oh my god. Where do I even start. Maybe with just:

Little things I love about the demo

I am a sucker for character customization, and this game delivers that in spades. You can choose so many different things, from your appearance with a doll maker/picrew type thing, your gender and pronouns (with a BUNCH of customization), to what your bedroom looks like, to little stuff like what kind of drink you get at a restaurant. This was present in the first game too, Our Life: Beginnings and Always (OL:BA), but it's more in-depth here, and I love it. And I love that you can see your little avatar when your character speaks. I feel like it just flows so nicely, and it makes me wanna replay it with different characters. Of course, you also get many different dialogue choices, and there are so many choices to pick from. I LOVE it.

So, I absolutely adore OL:BA, and I love Cove with my whole entire heart. But man, inside of me there are two wolves: one of them is a Summer Disliker, and one of them is a rabid Autumn Pinterest Girlie. I ADORE fall, colourful leaves, mushrooms, rain, etc etc etc.

So seeing that Our Life: Now and Forever (OL:NF) takes place in a sleepy town in the AUTUMN?? With scenery like THIS???

I want to live here in real life.

The art style in general is just so beautiful. The colours, the softness of it all, the spritework, the cg art: everything is so stunning. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing too.

On a different note, the extent to which you can customize your relationships with Qui and Tamarack is so cool. You can go through a slow-burn romance, as neighbours to childhood friends to crushes to partners. You can have a cute love-at-first-sight childhood crushes story. You can avoid romance altogether and have a chosen-family dynamic. You can have a poly relationship and date both of them. Not ONLY that, but even the way that they interact with you can be customized;

That's so cool!! You can choose whether a character looks up to you or takes care of you, or whether they prefer to compliment you or tease you. And you can choose the same kind of thing when you interact with them in turn! A visual novel having this level of depth in a relationship is so awesome. The game will even remember things: like, if you react negatively to certain types of interactions, the characters can remember and act accordingly in the future. That's so cool!

I like that this story seems to be a little bit more serious than the last game. OL:BA has basically zero stakes, and very little serious conflict. That's not a bad thing at all, it's very much supposed to be a comfy, indulgent game. But OL:NF begins Step 2 by showing that the main characters have drifted apart as they've grown older. Not only is that nice realism, but it also adds both possible comfort potential (bringing your old friends back together and having good times) AND possible whump/angst potential (watching who used to be your best friends drift apart completely). The (optional) jealousy mechanic could also add to this. Obviously the game isn't finished yet and I could totally be off the mark, but even if this kind of thing doesn't end up happening, the fanfic potential is also there!

I really like how complex the characters are. Even as kids, they have wants and motivations and flaws, and they're so likeable. They change throughout the story, because not only are they growing up and older, but they have their own experiences and personal struggles. And speaking of characters:

Quick thoughts about Main Characters

> Tamarack Baumann

Oh my goodness. Ohg. Tammy. She is so so important to me. She is so sweet and supportive, and she's so pretty. Look at her. Oh my god I love her.

I absolutely adore Tamarack, and part of it is that I relate to her in a couple ways. I grew up as the insecure fat girl. I love frogs and toads. The cello is my favourite instrument, and I would love to learn to play one day. When she first said that she lived with her Omi and Opa, I literally gasped in real life, because I lived with my Omi and Opi for about a year, when I was her age.

> Qui "Autumn" Lin

QUI!!!!!! I love them so dearly, their mannerisms and the way they speak are so so endearing. They change a lot throughout the story, which is going to be so interesting to see. And they are ALSO so so pretty. Oh my god.

As a trans person myself who is definitely playing as a trans MC, I'm so curious to see the interactions with Qui, since they struggle with their own gender identity as well. Also, when they do figure out their identity in Step 3:

What??? That's so cool!!!

In which I get a little bit too personal:

This is probably tmi but I don't care. To make a very long story short, I had a really shitty traumatic childhood. Especially around ages 10-15. Even disregarding that, I was always a 'mature for my age' child, who followed all the rules and was terrified of ever stepping out of line. I never got the chance to be a normal kid.

So, getting the chance to go through this game, being able to experience growing up in such a beautiful area, with a supportive family and no trauma and friends that care about you. It's just. So nice.

-

Anyways. I'm gonna go now and make a bunch of OCs to play through the demo with and make different choices, because the hyperfixation is truly all-consuming

[yanderefarm]

You know whats the actual best thing? Cannibalism as a metaphor for love. When love is so burning and deep that you absolutely have to sink your teeth into them. You may potentially have noticed by my asks but I often have some kinda violent thoughts fueled entirely by adoration. I actually have occasionally realized I actually had a crush on someone cuz I felt the need to brutally murder them(usually biting their throat out or wanting to dig my hands into their organs, sometimes both). I just have big feelings and I need to express them by biting those I love. So thank you for the bits of cannibalistic content, I would love more.

-🪼

i feel like this is gonna come as a surprise but im actually not that into cannibalism. and i don't have the autism that makes me bite people.

graphic blood and gore are actually really triggering for me. despite my love of horror and freak shit. if you notice i try so hard not to use the word blood in my writing it's because just the word is a massive horrible turn off at the best of times. so I'll write the cleanest gore you can imagine. (i wouldn't write this stuff if it was triggering for me to do so. my brain doesn't make sense. dw about it im taking care of myself.)

so you can imagine being a sensitive lil baby with a horror addiction it's really hard for me to enjoy some content. cannibalism is one of those. i used to like it more as a teenager on antidepressants that made me completely numb to most things. I've always kind of been a fan of art depicting humans the same way meat in a butcher shop or a grocery store would be. i love that concept.

so like a little while ago i played the demo of this game called frost bite. its about a hot butcher who eats people and oh man. it reignited the tiny flame of love i have for treating humans like meat casually. i mean im on the side of vampires treating humans like cattle. im weirdly down for this whole premise.

so for me i don't really see the cannibalism as love. probably because whenever cannibalism is love its much too messy for me to handle. i do however think there's some romance in eating your partner's body in a casual way. treating your own partner like they're meat.

the romance of your partner watching you cut a steak made of their body and then enjoy it, savor the flavor. or like the op of that gambling anime. thats the real good horny shit.

name something hornier than this. u can't.

anyway that's all to say i will continue to provide the cleanest cannibalism and gore dw. nom nom

[dalekowrites]

Hiii, hope you are well!!! First i want to say that i really really love your two demos. And i hope i'm not being annoying or rude for saying this. But for The In-Between, i still don't know who supposed to be the RO. Or it's my bad that i miss about this information entirely. Or is it suppose to be a secret? I mean we have met good and evil Ale, Chiara and her friend, Cinzia. But after 6 chapter, i just can't see the romance part for MC. When i think that i want to romance the good Ale, then i read the scene and his POV that he like or at least have an interest in Chiara and Cinzia. When i want to romance evil Ale, it just look like he want to use us really and the relationship percentage start from 5% and not many choices that can increase it. And Chiara obviously say that she has a crush to evil Ale. Then who likes MC??? Maybe it's my fate to be single in reality and fantasy world 😂😂😂. Jk, i mean it's ok too to have a story without much romance and more focus to the MC illegal business instead if that's ur goal (*Cough... but maybe you can reduce the POV of other characters regarding their successful romance stories like Good Ale and Cinzia, i'm being petty i know. Forget it lol). It's ur IF afterall so i'm not gonna criticize ur work and just continue to like and read it. Thanks for share ur WIP with us!!! And sorry for my bad english. Have a nice day. ❤

Hi!!! Absolutely no problem at all, in fact, your question made me laugh super hard because it's so legitimate, but I didn't think it could be that much of a nuisance, I'm so sorry!

I'll tell you the reason straight away: this story actually began as a drama-romance novel, so it is designed for a slower build-up than traditional interactive fiction. This is also why the narrator is omniscient!

I'm not going to tell you yet who the romantic interests are (I love reading the guesses about it!) however, know that one will be crystal clear by chapter 10, the other by chapter 11. I can't wait to hear what you all will think about them, I have some strong opinions about the ROs 😆

I'm about to publish the roadmap for the next updates, so check the blog in a few minutes if you're curious about it!

Thanks for the question, and don't apologize for your English (what other languages do you speak? Maybe we have some in common ☺). Until next time, have a nice day you too!! ♥

[drinkyourvillainjuice]

About the Altruists fan ask: why would Kay think her fans are degenerates? (I mean her IRL fans probably are but i think that's just the target demo for IFs lol). If it has to do with the sheep stuff, do you think that speaks to a larger problem in the DYVJ universe? Like do you think parahumans with unusual bodies in the public eye would face more objectification, fetishizing and exploitation? Its always intresting to think about the broader implications In fiction and how that can shape story.

Basically, Kay is generally insecure and would be quick to jump towards the worst case answer that plays on her body image issues.

"I'm a villain" -> "what kind of people like villains?" -> "it must be because of my appearance" -> "they're fetishizing me"

Kay wouldn't think about how she has cool, kinda flashy powers and is exciting to watch. This is all new to her after all.

I'm not sure how much I'll be able to delve into some things in the broader DYVJ worldbuilding because Dime necessarily has a very strangled perspective on a lot of things. I'm hoping to include some stuff a bit more organically throughout the narrative to explore how parahumans are viewed and to an extent commodified* (thanks, DPR!) But yes, I think unusually-bodied parahumans definitely get treated differently in the media and online.

I do think villains genuinely get fanbases provided they're not absolutely reprehensible. The presentation of masks is such that they're often treated in a larger than life, celebrity manner, so assuming that your villain isn't just murdering people left and right, they'll probably have some people thinking they're cool/badass. (and getting yelled at on the internet for it)

*(there's potentially a little bit of discussion if one hangs out with Mal in the current patreon update, and I still want to adjust something from the flashback chapter as it's currently trapped underneath a highly Beth-specific interaction and I think it helps paint the setting a lot!)

# Did she have to say it like a supervillain?? Seriously, all she needs is a white cat and one of those swivel chairs and she's in touching distance of becoming a criminal mastermind. "Beth, if you're going to start muhahahhaing, please at least give me some warning, okay?" She blinks. "…What?" "Only supervillains talk like that." Beth raises an eyebrow. "I have no idea what you're saying." "Have you seriously never listened to a villain speech?" "No, due to the fact that they are criminals and hence unlikely have anything of value to say." For a second you just stare at her. Bombastic villains proclaiming they'll crush their enemies (and then laughing evilly) are like a staple of your weekly online watching. It boggles the mind that your best friend neither watches what are probably the most interesting news stories, nor has ever picked up on your own habitual browsing. "So let me guess this straight. You've never heard Glamoura gloating that she'll restyle an entire city? Hallucinogem giving one of their 'diamond membership addresses'?" Beth throws up her hands. "$!{mc_name}, I do not know who either of those people are!" Your jaw drops. You get so caught up in quizzing an increasingly-baffled Beth about various villains (and then, in utter disbelief, heroes) that by the time you reach your destination, you've distracted the both of you away from the topic of crushes.

☆Simp's Masterlist☆

I specialize in fluff, hurt/comfort and (strangers to) friends to lovers! Basically my fics are 90% fluff and relationship building, and just a tad bit of angst for the feels~

Code:

⛓Angst

🌸Fluff

🌹Romantic

🍡Platonic

(🌹/🍡 can be seen as either)

Note: some stories have all of the above, so the order of the emoji is the same as the order in the story. For example: 🌸🍡🌹⛓ starts fluffy and platonic, ends with romantic feelings and angst.

Most of my fics are gender-neutral, They/Them pronouns used! I'm much more comfortable writing gender-neutral and male readers for personal reasons ww

Love ya'll <3

[lunatic-pudge]

Demoman SFW Alphabet

Drunk, one-eyed bomber makes my heart go awooga. And then I see Sniper and go OH MAMA!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A: Affection (How do they show affection? And how affectionate are they?)

Demo is definitely one of the most affectionate of all nine mercs. platonically and romantically. It's his way of showing that he loves his friends, lovers, family, ect. He's a big ol's goofball and I do be loving him

B: Best Friend (What would they be like a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Top tier best friend. You see how his friendship is with Soldier. Loves going out on vacations and to events with friends. I feel like he'd have a small gambling addiction so stay away from casinos. He is decent with giving advice, but you should wait for him to sober up or be sober cause you know he ain't giving good advice when drunk

C: Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

He's like Sniper where he'll just lay on top of you, except unlike Sniper, Demo doesn't care if people around. He's absolutely a PDA man. Got no shame whatsoever. He'd probably beg you to love all over him when drunk. Needs lovins cause he got some self-image and confidence issues. Plz love him

D: Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking & cleaning?)

Would love to settle down and have a family. Can't cook for shit, and his cleaning skills are meh. But he'd gladly be your house husband if you ask. Though, his alcoholism will be a big problem though. He would need to cut back, definitely can't quite cold turkey cause that would kill him. So it's somrthing that would need to be worked on to bring it down to a semi-reasonable level

E: Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

He wouldn't take a break up well. He's just a little bit mellow dramatic. He's a very attached and clingy lover so break up take quite a mental blow on him. He'd be like Scout with a tub of ice cream and the drama shows. It'll take a few months or a year for him to get over the relationship, then he's back to his normal self

F: Fiancé(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Just say when bbygirl and he'll have a ring ready. I feel like it wouldn't take him long for him to wanna get married. He's just patient and will wait for you to be ready. He'll let you get the ring of your dream, no matter how expensive it is.

G: Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Gentle when sober. Doesn't like to be too rough with his partner, he'll feel bad if he hurts them. When drunk, he's a little more reckless physically, emotionally, he's just drunk and confused. Has absolutely no idea what's going on. When drunk, he's more bold with wanting attention and lovins. If you tell him he was a little too rough with you, he'll apologize and make up for it

H: Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

HUGS ALL AROUND FOR EVERYONE. If you or anyone else is in arms length of Demo, they're getting a hug. He's got that warm, slightly bone crushing hugs that just radiate love. Will pick you up and swing you around. Blabbering about how much he loves ya

I: I Love You (How fast do they say the L-Word?)

Takes a few months and happens when he's blackout drunk. He never intended for it to come out so soon and when he was so intoxicated. He won't remeber it until you bring it up when he's sober. Poor baby will be so embarassed but will tell you how much you mean to him

J: Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Very jealous very easily. He doesn't mean to be so jealous. He just worries he's not good enough. Will follow you like a lost puppy. Holding onto you asking for reassurance that you love him and only him

K: Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Another messy kisser, especially when drunk. It just kinda happens. Likes to try and be a gentlman by bringing your knuckles up to his lips and kissing them. You can kiss this man anywhere and everywhere and he'd be so happy. If you kiss his eyepatch he might end up crying though

L: Little Ones (How are they around kids?)

Loves kids. Wants to have some of his own someday. He's a great big brother sort of figure but would probably end up teaching the kids some basic chemistry and how to make a bomb. He's also someone who will spoil kids rotten. Toys, treats, and much more. He's someone who gives out king sized candy bars on Halloween if he remembers to buy some

M: Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Every morning starts with a confused and disoriented Demo. Has no idea what time, year, or day it is and where he's at. Is probably confused as to why someone's in his bed with him. If there was a whole ass breakfast buffet, he'd eat it all without a thought processing in his head. Very hungry baby in the mornings. You're definitely the one who wakes up first. He's someone who won't wake up til 5pm

N: Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Likes to stay up late, doing God knows what, probably drinking and being clingy. Has a comfy ass king sized bed with some of the nicest blankets and pillows you could ever dream of. May or may not be a stuffed animal or two lost in his bed. Also never makes his bed, sees no need to. If you don't take him to bed, he'll pass out in some random spot

O: Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait awhile to reveal things slowly?)

Is naturally an open person. Will tell stories about trying to blow up the Luch Ness Monster, leaves out the part where he accidentally killed his dad. Mourns over how he lost his eye. Lots of stories from this man.

P: Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Is surprisingly a patient man. Rarely is he ever impatient. Reacts differently when certain people anger him. Can be easily calmed down though so there's not much to worry about

Q: Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every detail in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Unfortunately, due to the constant alcohol consumption, his memory is shot. Can only remember so much before he starts to blank or mix things up. So please don't be mad at him, he's trying

R: Remember (What is their favourite moment in your relationship?)

Demo's favorite memory of you two is when you both went out to the beach for a little get away from everything. Hanging out by the ocean, enjoying the calming ambiance that surrounded you both. He sat behind you, arms wrapped tightly around you as if you'd float away if he were to let go. One of you two would occasionally break the silence with words of affrimation or little observations. Demo would also occasionally leave little kisses on your cheek, neck, and shoulders. Snuggling up to you, trying to be even more closer if physically possible. Just a nice moment between you both he likes to think about when times get rough

S: Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Very protective. Would blow someone up if it meant protecting you. He's essentially a gaurd dog for you. And if he finds you protecting him. OH BOY. That would turn this from an SFW alphebet, to an NSFW one

T: Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, and everyday tasks?)

He's trying as much as his liquidfy brain can let him. He usually will have you come up with the main ideas for a date and he'll work on the finer details. Might even break out the suit he has stored away for you, and boy oh boy, does he look good in a suit

U: Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

We all know what his bad habit is. It's the alcoholism. But he also struggles with his self-esteem. That's what happens when you have a mom who never has anything good to say about you. He thinks nothing he does is ever good enough, no matter how much he tries. He kinda scared to talk to a therapist about it though

V: Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

This is tough to say. With Demo, he cares about his appearance when his self-esteem allows it. Like, he does put time and effort in his looks, but that's when things are going good? If it makes sense. We've all seen how disheveled he was when he lost his job. So it's really just depends on his mental state

W: Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Ablsolutely devastated.  You're his world and his happiness. He doesn't like it when you go on missions and such without him. He'd be even more of a mess if you were to break up with him. So when you go on a mission, you'll have to make some allotted time at night to call him where he's a sobbing mess, talking about how much he misses you. Please tell him that it'll be okay and you'll be back soon. He's a sad puppy when you're not around

X: Xtra (A random headcanon for them)

Demo would've been one of the smartest mercs if he wasn't an alcoholic. Maybe not Engie smart, but pretty darn close. Knows all there is to know about organic and inorganic chemistry. Has learned that from his parents when he was just a young lad. Was at the top of all his classes when he was in school. But everything staered to fall apart the more he drank. He regrets letting it get this bad but he doesn't have the strength to break the cycle

Y: Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Now, with Demo, there isn't much to say. He's usually content with most stuff but he definitely wants someone who keeps up with their hygiene. He can't stand when people are filthy and disgusting. That's one is his biggest icks

Z: Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)

He's got an erratic sleep schedule. He sleeps when the scrumpy decides it's bedtime. You usually have to pull him to bed so he isn't sleeping on the ground, or squished between the fridge and stove. How did he get there? I dunno. Drunk people do weird things

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who should I do next? I duuno. You tell me.

And man, I really love Demoman, I do. It's just hard cause he's an alcoholic and I grew up with a Father who is so damn close to be an alcoholic. So it makes it hard to truly love Demo cause I get reminded of the shit me, my Mother, and siblings have had to deal with. :(

[maleyanderecafe]

Could I have some recommendations for the kind of "I'll be whatever you want me to be" yanderes? Willing to change their appearance and personality for their darling? I've already played 14 days with you and absolutely loved it, I really love yanderes like that!!

I'll be combining these two asks, but yes, these kinds of yanderes (I call them mimic yanderes, since they mimic the type of things the darling likes) are always fun to see. Just shows how desperate they are to become someone that you'd love.

14 Days with You - I know one of these ask already states it, but Ren's thing is to become what the MC likes, down to appearances and personality.

John Doe + - specifically in the updated version, John Doe attempts to become a more appealing version for the player, whether that succeeds or not is dependent on you.

My Childhood Friend became an Obsessive Husband - The male lead, Ricks becomes a Duke because of his love for Isabel, and because that's what she really liked when she was younger.

Hatsukoi Lovers - this one is kind of old, but its a story about Wakaba who dresses up like a girl and acts cute to become the kind of girl that Mamori likes despite being a guy. Fairly comedic.

Oredake Minaito XX Shichauzo - sort of, similarly to Hatsukoi Lovers he dresses up to be cuter so that Keiichi will like him better. This is mixed with a bunch of other things as well.

Duality - sort of, it's not really shown in the demo yet, but Keith is the type to try to become more like the person the MC likes if they don't like him. This includes being more like Tenebris if he was chosen over Keith for any reason.

Perfect Mine - Heo mimics his brother's behavior exactly so that Nabi will like him, much to his detriment and dismay.

Secret Alliance - Yul crossdresses as a girl named Yuri so that Sian doesn't notice he's actually her ex boyfriend, and also because she has an extreme phobia of men. He tries really hard to act as a perfect girl to get her attention (at least for a while)

Nameless: The One Thing You Must Recall - Yeonho kind of has this since his arc is sort of forcing himself to do things that the main character likes despite how much he dislikes it.

Parasite in Love - exactly what Nial is considering he's a parasite. He's taken the form, personality and general attitude of one of her crushes, as well as uses the things she love to manipulate her.

@tsukaramachi also has her oc named Yuuto that does the exact same thing, though in a less intense capacity.

I think there are a lot of other ones that have more small moments of trying to turn themselves into being more appealing towards the main character, but these are the ones I can think of? Hopefully they are similar to what you all are thinking of.
