Wanda couldn’t look at you when she was speaking. You could see she was trying to find the words, but you didn’t know how to help her.

Natasha knowing what her wife is trying to say tries to take over.

“ Before I met you I was a little jealous. Seeing the love of my life light up talking about someone who was quite literally thousands of miles away, was a hard pill to swallow. I haven’t known you as long as Wanda, but I can see now why she had always spoken so highly of you.”

You want to interrupt the red head and say anything back to her, but you don’t. They had said they wanted to tell you everything before you spoke so you intended to let them.

“When Papa sent me away, I resented him for it. It was a great opportunity and a show of good faith, but I was angry with him because I didn’t want to leave you here. I thought we had grown quite close, little krolik. You were the best part of all my days. So much so that even thousands of miles away I couldn’t shut up about you. Even after I fell in love, you’d always find a way into my mind,” Wanda plays with her wedding ring as she speaks.

You look between the two woman silently urging them to continue.

“I’ve been many places, lived many lives, and have met many people, but I've never met anyone like you. There’s this light inside you that you keep so close to your chest. I can feel it behind all the walls you put up. I see it in how intensely you care about your family and I admire it. I admire you,” Natasha isn’t scared to take your hand in hers.

Wanda continues, “It’s hard not to admire you. If Natasha has seen it in these few months, it’s safe to say I’ve always seen it. I saw it before you put all these walls up, when you let it be known to everyone. I think that’s what startled me so much when I came home. I felt like a soldier come home from war to see his home was no longer his.”

The woman begins to get emotional. You reach out your other hand for her to take, not knowing what else to do.

“When I saw Wanda interact with you for the first time, I felt something. It wasn’t jealousy or hatred or anything like that. It was this overwhelming warmth. Seeing her hold you as if you’d disappear, seeing her smile as big as our wedding day, it made me happy,” Natasha recounts.

Wanda sighs, “When we were in my old room at the dinner I was terrified. I thought you were going to tell me the same thing everyone else had when it came to you, but you didn’t. You held me, dried my tears, and I think things really started to fall into place for me then.”

“I met Wanda when she was technically on a job. She was leading and in charge of operations. I had seen her get angry or upset on multiple occasions, but I don’t know if I ever saw her as mad as that night. I could almost see the steam coming out of her ears when she had Pietro against the wall. As far as I knew, I was the only one who could calm her down, but then you did it like it was second nature.”

You speak quietly, “She’s always had a temper.”

You think the woman will roll her eyes, but she doesn’t, “I have and you have always been there to calm me down. I don’t know how to say this, Y/n. When I met you, you were just my little brother’s best friend, but then you became my friend and then a part of my family. You were so delicate back then, you weren’t even 18 for Christ sake.”

Natasha tries to help her wife find her bearings, “But by the time she left you were 22 and you had grown into a young woman.”

Wanda shakes her head a bit, “You had done a lot of growing, that I didn't want to see, that I was trying to ignore because I didn’t want you to think that I had intentions of taking advantage of you. I felt like at the time I was too old, you were too young, and we were too close.”

You look at her with confusion on your face. There’s only one thing that she could be talking about in your mind, but this can’t be happening.

“What are you saying Wanda?”

For the first time in the conversation her eyes meet yours. You see the fear in them, the uncertainty, the desperation. Her hand let’s go of yours and finds itself on her bouncing knee.

“I don't want to ruin this and I'm so scared of losing you, but if you would’ve died in that alley not knowing that I’m in love with you it would’ve destroyed me.”

You feel your heart beating against your chest. Your mouth opens and closes a few times as you try to find your voice. You find yourself stuttering for the first time in years, “Y-you w-what?”

Wanda stands abruptly trying to run from the conversation. This makes you panic and try to stand as well. However, you forget about your ankle and yelp at the weight you put on it.

Wanda’s arms are quick to steady you before you do anymore damage to yourself. She’s close to you and you swear you can hear her heartbeat.

“D-did you s-ay-” you give up frustrated with your reappearing stutter.

Wanda’s grip on you tightens slightly, “I’m in love with you.”

“Wanda I- you’re married,” you look back at Natasha only to find her staring at you.

She stands from her place on the couch, and closes the gap between the two of you.

“I have my own feelings for you Y/n,” Natasha is confident as she speaks.

Her assertion makes you turn red, “Y-you also?”

Natasha smiles sweetly, “Maybe not love just yet, but I could see myself falling for you.”

This situation was short-circuiting your brain, it felt like you were dreaming. This couldn’t be real. As you stood between the two woman it felt like less of a dream.

“I loved you before they sent you away,” you blurt out to your friend’s sister.

Once you start it’s like the words just pour out of your mouth, “You were way out of my league. You’re still out of my league, I mean does it get more taboo than falling for your best friend’s older sister. You’re just so easy to love, but I never thought I had a chance and then you came back with a wife; a very beautiful, very intelligent, ex-Russian spy of a wife, and I just knew I didn’t have a chance.”

“The chance is now. Admittedly, we don’t know how something like this works, but I think we can figure it out together,” Wanda levels with you.

“If you're interested,” Natasha adds on, leaving the ball in your court.

“It would’ve been nice if you guys had told me before I got a cut on my lip. I could’ve done the whole dramatic kiss to cut you off,” you tease them.

Wanda rolls her eyes, “If I could shove you and you wouldn’t fall over, I would.”

“You talk to every woman you’re in love with like that?”

Natasha chimes in, “You get used to it after awhile.”

You share a laugh and when it dies down Wanda speaks, “So we’re doing this?”

“I want to try, but I don’t want to ruin your marriage,” you speak honestly.

“You won’t,” Natasha declares with certainty.

“How do you know?”

She thinks for a moment, “The love Wanda and I have for each other is endless, I’ve never for a moment thought anything could break it up. We’re not changing the way we love each other, we’re just adding you into the already existing dynamic. Eventually it should end with the three of us loving each other endlessly. Does that make sense?”

You nod slowly, “It sounds perfect.”

Natasha places a kiss on your cheek like it’s second nature to her, “Good.”

Your ears heat at the contact and before you can respond Wanda places a light kiss at the corner of your lips.

The movement leaves you wanting more. Against better judgement you try to lean down and kiss her. You succeed in placing your lips against hers for a brief second but as you pull away you almost fall again.

Natasha is the one to steady you this time. She teases you, “Someone is eager?”

“My ankle doesn’t want me to be great.” you pout.

Natasha hesitates, but delicately she touches her lips to yours. It’s as quick as your attempt at kissing Wanda.

“Your ankle won’t stop us, bunny,” Wanda looks at you with shining eyes.

Your face heats at the nickname that’s only familiar to you in the woman’s native language. The women chuckle at the pigment of your skin.

“We’ll see who’s laughing when my lips don’t hurt and I can kiss you properly,” you try once again standing on your own.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Wanda lets her eyes fall to your lips.

You roll your eyes, “Stop teasing, and help me get ready for bed. This has simultaneously been one of the best and one of the most painful days of my life. Truly unforgettable.”

Natasha speaks first, “I’ll get some stuff ready for a shower.”

“I’ll help you to the bathroom,” Wanda finishes.

It’s an all too similar feeling as you find yourself perched on the bathroom counter with Wanda standing between your legs.

Her fingers play with the end of your shirt. She looks at you for permission and you give her a light nod.

Slowly as to not aggravate your injuries she takes your shirt off. She’s careful as she unwraps the bandages from your torso.

“You’ll need help in there,” she speaks softly as her eyes scan your body.

“I know,” the pain starts to catch up with you.

Leaning forward slightly you rest your head on her shoulder. She smells good and it calms your nerves.

Wanda can’t help herself as she speaks up, “Isn’t this a familiar scene?”

You raise your head off of her shoulder and smile, “It’s ringing a few bells.”

Natasha enters the restroom with some towels and pajamas, “I’m going to get some food going, if you guys are alright in here?”

Wanda nods, “I’ve got her, Nat.”

Natasha nods and proceeds to exit the bathroom, “Just holler if you need me.”

Wanda steps away from you to turn the shower on. She’s back in front of you in no time.

“How do you want to do this?”

You feel nerves as you speak, but you try to sound objective, “I think you should join me. Not because I want to see you, not that I don’t want to see you. Its just I can’t really stand and-”

She quiets you down by pulling her own shirt over her head. Her feet pad against the bathroom floor as she makes her way back over to you. Wanda’s hands place themselves on the top of your pants. Her movements are slow but sure as she begins to pull them down. She takes extra care when they're around your ankle.

Once they’re off she takes a step back swiftly removing her own pants. The only thing left on both of you is your underwear.

The sound of the shower rings heavily in your ears as you watch Wanda take her bra off. You can’t move even if you want to. Your eyes glance over her chest before following her hands path lower. She’s not teasing as she removes her panties.

Once again you find yourself with her standing between your legs, but this time there was significantly less fabric in the way. She reaches behind you back to place her hands on your bra clasp.

“Y/n, do you mind if-"

“Take it off,” you finish for her.

She does as you say, a shaky breath releases from her. Your bra falls off your shoulder, but you keep looking in her eyes. Her hand slides down from your back and her finger hooks around your underwear.

“Take it off,” you repeat in a hushed tone.

She follows your instructions. Her eyes snap back to yours. The two of you stare in silence. There’s an underlying tenderness to the moment.

Wanda’s hand reach for your waist, “Ready?”

You nod and she assists you off of the counter. The water hits your skin and you sigh. You enjoy the heat against your bruised skin. Wanda’s hands stay in place for a moment just keeping you steady.

It's a silent delicacy as Wanda soaps up a towel and begins to gently clean your skin. You marvel at the lightness of her touch.

She turns you around so you face her. You look down at her and can’t help but brush your nose against hers. You hear her breath hitch. Carefully you use your hand to guide her’s across your body.

Neither of you dwell as she cleans every inch of you intimately. You lean against the shower wall a bit so Wanda has room to wash herself. You take in the details of her body as she cleans herself.

She gets out first and then helps you put the pajamas laid out for you on before dressing herself.

“I love you,” you say it easily when everything is done.

Wanda places a kiss on your forehead, “I love you too.”

Wanda helps you to the kitchen table. Your eyes find Natasha moving about in the kitchen.

“Almost done, I know you’re tired lisichka. We can eat then get in the bed,” Natasha speaks to you.

“Thanks Natty,” you look at her with your hand on your chin.

“Did you re-wrap her torso detka?” Natasha asks her wife.

Wanda snaps her fingers, “I knew I forgot something.”

“Take over here, and I’ll do it?”

Wanda agrees to these terms. Natasha goes to fetch the medical wrap and quickly returns. You’re sitting down, so Natasha kneels to be level with your torso.

Carefully with tentative hands, she lifts up your shirt. Her hand finds the small of your back, to encourage you to sit straight. You follow her instructions.

“Tell me if it’s too tight, okay?”

You’re looking down into her eyes and you momentarily get lost in them. The hues of green draw you in like emeralds.

“Baby,” she says again a little more firm.

You snap out of it and nod, “I’ll tell you if it’s too tight.”

She brings the wrap around your torso multiple times, each time looking for any extensive discomfort in your expression.

When she’s done with your torso, she quickly does your ankle. Your ankle was more sensitive, so she made sure to be extra gentle.

“All set, lisichka,” the woman places a kiss on your forehead as she stands up.

“Food is ready,” Wanda announces bringing plates for the three of you to table.

At this point exhaustion was knocking at your door. You eat in comfortable silence and once you’re finished, they help you to bed.

When your head hits the pillow, you almost fall asleep instantly.

“If I didn’t want to kill him for what he did to my father, I’d kill him for this,” Wanda says to her wife.

“The men involved have been dealt with already,” Natasha relies to her Wanda.

“You work fast malyshka,” Wanda places her hands on Natasha’s hips.

Natasha looks at your sleeping figure, “I’d move at the speed of light for either of you.”

Natasha ends her statement by kissing Wanda.

“I love you,” Wanda pulls the woman closer to her.

Natasha smiles pecking the woman’s lips once more, “I love you too.”

The two of them climb into the bed, making sure to give you adequate space due to your injuries.

“Why does this already feel so natural?” Wanda questions.

Natasha answers instantly, “It’s just meant to be like this. This feels like the final piece to our little puzzle."

Wanda was more than content with that answer, closing her eyes, unable to fight rest.

Somewhat like before, but entirely different at the same time, the three women lay together.

Angel Dust Turns Human - Pg2

Part 1

I'm so sorry about the quality, idk what size the canvas should be when it comes to comics, this is technically my 1st one☹️. I PRAY it doesn't look crappy on other people's end💔

Anyways, I had drawn these 2 pages (technically 4ish with how I spread them out) within 3-2 days bc I just rlly wanted the idea to get done already🤲 Sorry if the pacing wasn't that good when I introduced Alastor - again, I don't know how to convey that in 'comic form' (?) since this is my 1st, but I tried😔 (it probably needed more frames/pics but I was rlly lazy).

If you couldn't tell (☹️), Alastor & Angel Dust have some backstory (!!!) - Alastor didn't realize until he saw his human form, which looks very different from his Hell form. The majority of this is in Angel's pov, so this is kinda unreliable narrator, in a way. I need to mention, idk if anyone's written/drawn anything w a human in Hell, but my first thought was they'd definitely pass out from the heat usually portrayed - hence the heat exhaustion; Angel kinda passes out before he could fully react. Btw, I don't like how I drew Angel on pg6 so let's ignore it🙏

Also, Alastor pronounces his name as "Antoní", or An-tone-nee, with emphasis on the last sylabel, which is why it's spelled with an accented "i" - I just forgot to use that when I wrote the dialouge💔

My fav thing to draw was him holding Angel's face and carrying him, Parental Alastor fans RISE✊️!

Quick Update

Hey everyone, sorry for the very low updates with asks and on the IF itself. This semester had been brutal and plus with my job, that both have robbed me of all my free time.

But yesterday on the 18th was my birthday and a day or so before that it was the 2 year anniversary of my starting OMWAT. More than anything it floored me that so much time has passed and how little progress I have made with the story.

For the longest time I have been stuck in a rut of wanting to make just so much more progress than I have been currently able to and it's been pissing me off more than anything.

Each time I update it's usually only like a few 5K or 6K words, I mean, two years and I am still on chapter 1? Ugh.

I am not just complaining here either, if anything it's pushing me to find more time and just keep updating whatever I have done so I can actually see the progress as further motivation.

Right now the dashingdon page has a new update I just dropped where I finally wrap up chapter 1 act 1, and start act 2.

FYI a LOT of it is clunky and unfinished but I really think I just gotta keep micro updating as I go, for my own sanity.

If you decide to wait until much more is done that's all good with me too, I am very sorry about the long waits in between updates for this IF. 😅

--------

Quick update change list:

The IF is now at 61k words

Fixed some bugs

Added chef profession path

Chapter 1, act 1 is done; we know will zoom through MC's development years with June all throughout act 2 (a lot of it is not done!), act 3 is when the heartbreak happens

Added a secret trait that you can only find under VERY specific conditions, no special dialouge has been added to it yet but that is planned for the future

Added the starting mechanics for MC's sexuality, only one option for it is shown for now, later in chapter 1, act 2 more of it will show up to cement MC's sexual preferences

Took off the secret lock on chapter 1, act 2

Introduced 1 of the the 2 possible childhood best friends for MC

We now begin to mold who your MC is during chapter 1, act 2; a lot of it isn't done but you will see the first of many snapshot moments of their development years.

--------

Here is a quick link to the game if you want to see the small update: Link

Rambling again about Narinder!

> 100% realizing no matter how you look at this cat. Trust issues and emotional constipation are his issues.

This is without deviating from the cannon lore you get from dialouge. He has been locked away for a number of years by siblings he once trusted. Yes, he had Aym and Baal to keep company but look me in the eyes and tell me he comes out emotionally stable during that time.

Parts I semi headcannon, is that one a millennium of being locked away, makes physical touch weird to him. It's not a negative weird but a "it's been too long I know this is good feeling but it's too much" weird. It would take him time to readjust to any form of physical touch that wasn't explicitly under his control.

He won't admit to this either, but rather come up with the excuse that one does not simply touch a god. The whole Narilamb ship in my head is literally. Lamb helps Narinder through what is touch. What is living again. Lamb in story is aware their god is just "a little" fucked up. They love him anyway and want to see him happy. (Another ramble for another time, but Lamb in my story intended to bend the knee. Lamb is the opitiomy of "so long as you're happy")

Part 2 of headcannon, he very much has that bad, "I will ignore till I'm not mad" habit. It comes easy as he survived 1000 years in Purgatory. What's a few days... decade or two of silence to the one that betrayed them.

It's such a slow rekindle to be on speaking terms with the Lamb again.

Though I like the idea of revenge right off the bat, cuase he's angry. There is something that feels fitting to a stew of anger he's really had no way of releasing prior. He reacts in retaliation in the moment of betrayal, but after indoctrination, he's spent. From god to a more mortal like form, it takes a toll.

So he stews, while the Lamb is now dealing with the fallout. Passively watching and ignoring the lamb if they come to talk to him.

(Though if the Lamb skips routine, the Cult watches as he begins stalking the grounds for them. Of course, he doesn't miss their ramblings. He hates their guts. 🙃)

There's more in this head stew of mine, but for another time, cuase words are hard >3>

╰─▸ ❝ (un)revealed ❞ - ,, yang jungwon

pairing bf!jungwon x gn!reader ୨୧ genre fluff, non idol au, highschool au ୨୧ wc 1,4k warnings kissing, neck kisses req; prompt 4 (placing their chin on the other’s shoulder); dialouge 26 (“i love how you look in my shirt.”)

it was a friday afternoon as you walked alongside jungwon, you didn’t reveal your relationship to your friends, so jungwon reached for your hand, intertwining your fingers once you were far enough away from the school building.

“you coming this saturday?” he asked as you stopped in front of your house.

“mhm! gonna text you around 2,” you replied, placing a gentle kiss on his lips before releasing his hand and heading inside.

he nodded, returning the kiss, and observed as you walked toward the front door. before entering, you turned around, flashing a bright smile and waving him goodbye.

as saturday rolled around, you woke up quite late. around one o'clock, you began packing your belongings into a backpack. a few months into your relationship with jungwon, you both started spending weekends at each other's houses, the only time you could be as affectionate as you wanted. it wasn't that you didn't want your friends to know; it was more about your preference for a more private relationship. neither you nor jungwon felt ready to be the center of attention when you walked together. plus, jungwon was quite popular, so you couldn't help but feel a bit worried about how his 'fangirls' might react if they discovered he was in a relationship with you.

as you packed, jungwon texted that he would pick you up. when you grabbed your phone, you got distracted by the tiktoks he had sent earlier. you watched them, laughter filling your room. another text from jungwon brought you back to reality, informing you that he was already there.

you quickly got up and grabbed your backpack. seconds later, you were rushing downstairs, almost stumbling as you put on your shoes.

as you opened the door and prepared to head to the gate, you bumped into jungwon.

"hey, hey. i knew you missed me, but this much?" he laughed, wrapping his arms around your waist as your bodies collided.

"hi," you chuckled at his words, looking up. "i didn't want to keep you waiting.." you said, your lips forming into pout, that jungwon quickly kissed away.

pulling away, jungwon took your hand and began walking toward the gate, holding it open for you.

"how was practice?" you finally asked after a few moments of silence.

"it was fine. nothing interesting happened, to be honest. some people were missing, as always, so we took it easy. you know, the usual saturday practice," he replied, now looking at you. without a word, he took your backpack and slung it over his shoulder.

"thank you," you smiled at him, quickly looking away, feeling flustered. "but the competition is coming up soon, isn't it?"

"yeah, that's why i don't understand why they're neglecting practice like this," he said, and you could hear the mix of frustration and disappointment in his voice.

since jungwon was the leader of the taekwondo crew at your school, there was always a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. he would even get scolded if some members didn't show up or if they didn't perform well in competitions. you sighed.

"i don't understand it either, but what more can you do? you're working hard enough."

jungwon didn't reply. instead, he gave your hand a gentle squeeze, signaling that he didn't want to discuss it. 'understandable,' you thought. he talked about practice every day with the coach and then with his team members; it was probably stressful enough.

you arrived at his house, and as soon as you stepped inside, maeum greeted you. you knelt down and started petting the dog.

"hi, baby!" you cooed to the dog as he rolled onto his back. "i missed you too, my pretty baby."

jungwon stood beside you, a soft smile on his face as he watched you both. "so, now you love my dog more than me?" he finally spoke.

you gasped dramatically. "maeum, baby, did you hear this? your dad is making me choose between you and him!"

you looked up at jungwon with a mischievous glint in your eyes. soon, you were holding maeum in your arms. "of course, i'm going to choose you, baby!" you declared, running away with the fluffy ball in your hands.

"hey!" jungwon yelled after you, tossing your bag on the floor and giving chase.

the living room was filled with your laughter, yells and maeum’s barks as jungwon still ran after you.

"we need to run, maeum! your dad is a crazy psycho!" you yelled, and soon, jungwon's hands caught your hips.

"there's no escaping now; i've got you," jungwon whispered directly into your ear, his voice soft and gentle, sending shivers down your spine. "give me a kiss, and maybe i'll spare your life," he added, followed by a quiet chuckle.

“maeum, what do you think? should i kiss him, do you think he’s scamming us and he just wants a kiss, but then he will still kill us?” you whispered to the dog in your arms, getting nothing in the answer, but just a blank stare from maeum.

seconds after you felt jungwon’s warm breath on your neck, soon after the sensation being replaced with his lips. you froze, as he placed short kisses on your skin. “time’s running, y/n.” he whispered into your ear again, then placing his chin on your shoulder.

you could feel your whole body getting warmer, your cheeks burning at this point. maeum jumped out of your arms, softly landing on the sofa next to you and jungwon took the opportunity of that, turning you around. 

“c’mon, y/n, give me a kiss.” 

the rest of the day, you both spent in jungwon’s room as you studied for upcoming history test. the silence was interrupted by jungwon’s groan, as he flopped down onto the pillows.

"i've had enough of this studying, my head's pounding," he complained, prompting you to glance over at him. "can we please take a break?"

you smiled, stashing your notes and books away before settling down beside him, burying your face in his neck. "we've done well so far, and i don't think an hour of scrolling through tiktok will hurt us," you said, watching as jungwon agreed by reaching for his phone and opening the app.

and there you were two hours later, still laying down. finally, you decided to sit up and stretch. after leaving his room, you headed to the living room to retrieve your backpack from the front door. returning to jungwon's room, you placed it near his bed and began to unpack.

“taking a shower?” he asked, raising his head to look at you. 

"yeah," you replied as you searched through your bag, trying to find your pajama top. "i think i forgot to pack my sleep shirt. mind if i borrow one of yours?" you glanced at him, slightly anxious about how he would react to your bold question. you noticed his soft smile, as his cheeks tinted with a gentle blush.

“sure, second shelf in the closet.”

with that, you made your way to his closet, carefully selecting the shirt you intended to wear. you settled on a simple black one and quickly headed to the bathroom.

as you stepped out of the bathroom, jungwon was no longer in bed; he was nowhere to be found. when you closed the door to the bathroom, placing your clothes on the bed, you heard jungwon voice.

"come to the kitchen!" he called out, prompting you to head in the direction of his voice.

there he stood, right in front of the refrigerator with it’s door covering the entry to the kitchen, so he couldn't see you.

“whatchu doing?” you asked, approaching him and smoothly slipping beneath his arm, which was resting on your shoulder.

"just making food before we..." he trailed off, his gaze finally falling upon you. once again, you noticed his cheeks taking on a rosy hue. the corners of his lips curled upward slowly. "wow, y/n, you look amazing in my shirt," he complimented, causing you to blush in return.

"thank you," you replied softly, moving closer and allowing yourself to bury your face in his chest.

he chuckled, shutting the refrigerator and wrapping his hands around you more properly. he then planted a gentle kiss on your forehead.

the remainder of the evening was spent on the couch, watching a k-drama. as one episode ended and the next one was about to start, jungwon turned his attention to you. "i think you should wear my clothes more often. i'll give you a few to wear to school," he suggested, leaving you pleasantly surprised.

"what?" you exclaimed, looking at him and noticing the mischievous smirk on his face. "but what if people connect the dots?"”

he leaned closer, embracing you tighter. "i don't care. i'm ready to let everyone know you're mine."

Can I ask, what made you think of the "date to die for" thing.

I mean, what did you think when writing the story? (I love your games.)

So way back in 2021, SFL was first conceptualized as part of a game-jam style game collection (Dread X Collection 2), where the theme was adapting Lovecraftian lore. That version of the game you can play for free as Sucker for Love: Prelude on steam. After that iteration, our publisher signed Akabaka for a three game contract

The Sucker for Love story was loosely planned from the start as a 3 game narrative, with interconnected stories following different protagonists and their romantic encounters with the Outer Gods. The original plans were to first expand Sucker for Love: Prelude into a full, dating-sim game, with the protag, Darling, attempting to win a kiss from multiple detailed Eldritch ladies. Cthulu, the King in Yellow, and Nyarlathotep are 3 of the most recognizable lovecraftian gods with a lot of lore to pull from (along with Azathoth and the Black Goat of the Woods.) For SFL First Date, to keep the scope of the game smaller, Akabaka focused on just those three.

The second game was always planned to be a foil to the first game, where the player could go deep with a single Eldritch goddess instead of wide, so the player could get to spend a lot of time with their love interest. For SFL Date to Die For, the Black Goat of the Woods was a complex but interesting character to adapt from Lovecraft's writings. (That's a whole post on its own...) But for a series about "dating sexy versions of eldritch gods", the Black Goat of the Woods fit really well as a datable love interest, when stripped down to her core trait of being the all-mother with a powerful aura who drives everyone in her proximity to madness with desire.

Originally, the protagonist was planned to be a disaster lesbian, sort of a female version of Darling. But in the actual writing of the plot and dialouge, Aka kept hitting a major plot hole: if Rhok'zan has a powerful sex aura that make everyone go mad with lust, wouldn't Stardust basically get vaporized from her already next-level lust being magnified 1000 fold? The solution was surprisingly simple though- the only human who could survive Rhok'zan's aura even for a second would be an asexual person. (An aside: I think that's something really special about DTDF actually- Stardust truly is the only person that could have saved the day, BECAUSE of her asexuality- not in spite of it. Her asexuality is as central to her story as Darling's all-consuming lust is to his ☆)

Also as a foil to SFL First Date, the second game was planned from the start to have a heavier focus on the 'horror' aspect of the series, and a focus on cultists as a real, present danger. Main inspiration here was The Dunwich Horror, where the threat comes not from the Outer Gods, but from the rabid town of cultists who want all outsiders dead.

So with all of those aspects set, the rest of the narrative for Date to Die For came together from there :)

(As for the third game, the plot has been mostly set for a while, but yall will have to wait and see~)

dost thou have any tips for writing Daniil and Artemy? I’ve been struggling with them for so long and it’s making me procrastinate

I’m deeply flattered you think I know what I’m doing when I write them LMAOOO

Character dynamics have always been my favorite thing in the world so I’ll just list out the basic things I do when writing any character.

Before going in I ask myself two things about the character I’m writing. 1. Who are they? And 2. How do they hide it?

Every character has a personality, and with Pathologic characters in particular, one of the core tenants is that nobody is a reliable narrator. They each have a front they put up that is different to their true desires and intents. This is especially true of the healers (whom we see in different lights in each route in p1)

So for Daniil, he puts on this front of being very uppity and uncaring and logical, but he’s actually a deeply emotional character, driven by his feelings a lot of the time. He completely breaks down at the end of Bachelor route to the point of wanting to destroy the whole town because he feels so alone and betrayed. He is NOT a ruthless logical super doctor

Artemy, on the other hand, is a lot more bonkers than people give him credit for. Like even in p2 where he’s much softer there is definitely the remaining hints still (see his dialouge with grief if you choose to take organs from his man instead of saving him on day 1). Artemy is very driven by a sense of love and duty, but he’s also heavily desensitized to violence and in p1, it’s the solution much of his dialouge initially goes for. You can see in changeling route that he just fully goes in to it and spends most of the 12 days trying (and failing) to kill Daniil. That kind of contrast is, I find, much more compelling to write into his character than just a kind and good kind of dad type of guy.

I hope this helps at least somewhat, but really, I don’t know what I’m doing I just write things lol

Hi since I see you post evidence, and I don't have a Byler account I want to post anon here. On Netflix there are season recaps for stranger things. The dialogue they choose to include is all about the upside-down plot points and to remind us of couples they kind of just do shots of them. In the season two one there's a shot of jancy kiss and lumax hand hold. In season three recap there is a shot of jopper hand hold, but there is no dialogue added based on couples. Yet in the season three recap, while it is still central on refreshing the plot, adds the mike and will fight in with the dialouge AND clips of Will destroying castle byers. Then in the Volume 1 recap it highlights the mileven fight. I just thought it was interesting that they deemed Byler rain fight as an IMPORTANT plot point. There are obviously Byler scenes in the season 2 recap, but it is admittedly all Will talking about mindflayer stuff to refresh people's memories on what happened. This is just so interesting because there is no other meaning behind the Byler fight. It has nothing to do with the upside-down plot but they kind of put a lot of the dialouge in with the scenes of Will. Was just wondering what your thoughts on this might be because I find it interesting. Maybe it is a stretch but atp I will analyze anything in the next 300 days til S5 comes out.

I should probably watch the recaps before answering you, but i'm kinda lazy right now so i will answer without watching it, lol. I think this is just another evidence that Mike and Will relationship will be a major plot device on season 5. More than what people think Mike and Eleven relationship is at this point. About waiting 300 days for S5, i think you won't need to wait this much. I bet that the first volume will release in august-september, but the final volume definitely will release on november.

I like the idea of wholesome military Yuu. Probably accidentally makes people assume they're mean or scary but it's just a gym bro. During overblots they took everyone down so easily because of past trainings. Very cool scars they boast about but everyone looks at them horrified.

"Oh this from the time I got grazed with a bullet, very cool huh?"

"What.."

-also is it cool if I name myself 🍰 anon? I feel like I lurk around your ask inbox a lot, it's totally fine if I can't!

Please read all the dialouge in a fucking duke nukem voice.

This giant person approached Idia after they heard Idia mumbles self depreciating things abt himself himself under this breath. Idia is frozen and he hears boss music. "Hey man, stop putting yourself down, it's not cool. I know you can't see it but your character and strengths are pretty cool. I hope you can lean to see it in time." And refuses to walk off until Idia says something nice about himself, in which then Yuu daps him up and says "nice one dude"

"Hey man what are you? A dude, a girl a they?" "I don't have pronouns or gender. Those damn alien bastards stole them from me."

Ruggie being baffled at this mfer who makes bank back in their world be so frugal and down to earth. One day they say to Idia "you play retro games for nostalgia, i play retro games because i cannot afford new ones, we are not the same." And Ruggie tries to call them out.

"Actually I donate most of my millions to charities in need and enjoying sponsoring education for young children in less fortunate situations. Also, those damn alien bastards stole all of my newer consoles and deleted my save data."

They don't like Octavinelle. They're posers protecting a restaurant by Mediocre blackmail and threats of violence. "Booo where im from corporations make sure to stage your suicide by shooting you three times in the back of the head for speaking up about child labor"

They esp hate Azul. "Mindless corporations like yours forced me and my comrades across sea to commit atrocities on innocents and die over oil. You are not a cool dude, bro." Or just.

"You claim to know how to fight and use magic yet only fight against those who are weaker than you. This one is for my ignihyde friend that was bullied by you." And the trio just roll their eyes before getting steamrolled by this mfer in a real fight and almost end up in the ER. This is the same person who said "those damn shrimp bastards will pay for frying my rice and trying to break into the kitchen.

They advocate equal rights and just a good dude. Everytime they speak you hear a hard-core guitar riff. They are simultaneously the smartest yet stupidest person everyone knows. Everyone agrees that they're cool as hell tho. They hand Yuu a cold one and take off their glasses to wink, but underneath their glasses, they have another pair on.

They are just a walking shitpost

2) yeah i checked my blog and dont think I have cake (slice) anon??? Your cool, welcome aboard

[sweet-herbal-peach-tea]

i saw your theories on the new TKATB update when going through the tag and it gave me some thoughts!!

looping into your theory that the MC isn't the first Soulmate that Sol had makes me think that it could wrap into why he possibly believes in the gods. Like...losing someone you loved yet meeting someone else who is just so similar? a second chance?? it has to feel like a miracle for him, or a gift from God. It could also loop into his belief in soulmates and reincarnation (if that was mentioned, I still haven't gotten though all the content lol) it's no surprise this boy's crazy!! he's gotta feel so blessed

anyways so sorry for the random blurb, your theory made my hamster wheel of a brain spin for a second and I had to say something

Hi!! So these theories are from the original Days 1 and 2, not the revamp. I have a lot of thoughts regarding my previous theory about reincarnation, especially considering a lot of the dialog options changed (including old dialouges that I used to support my original theory.

I mentioned this to a friend but we both thought of Sol and MC originally being raised potentially in a cult esque religion w/ Sol's parents being followers/heads. Especially considering his implied loyalty to religion.

So many thoughts! Not sure if I'll write them all down like last time 😭 had definitely a lot of feelings about this update. Especially with the newish(?) written direction Sol's character seems to taking
