On wednesdays we miss It Lives🙏🏽🥹💚

If the ILW gang was part of the avatar universe, what kind of benders would they be ?

I love this so much

Jocelyn

Earth. She's all about routine, stability, physical strength, and going with the tried and true of what she knows.

Lincoln

Fire. It's a very emotional and passionate element, and the duality of fire's ability to hurt and its ability to create warmth and safety is very fitting.

Amalia

Water. She embodies both the comfort of water as well as its terrifying destructive power. She can be soothing or ice cold.

Abel

Air. He's all about curiosity and exploration of humanity and its past. Additionally, he's playful, lighthearted, but also dependable.

Extras:

Matthias

Fire. Powerful, destructive, passionate, and all-consuming.

Noah

Water. He can be introspective, calm, and alone, or he can be like a tempestuous storm that destroys everyone around him.

Connor

Earth. He is a steadfast, solid foundation that others can always rely and depend upon.

Sunny

Air. They're literally just the embodiment of the sunny warmth of air nomads.

Luis

Water. Mans is literally in love with the moon, what else could he be?

ILW // Here they are! All 7 different end cards you can get in the many many more variations of the niche endings available in the game.

Google Drive Link to the cgs here

I am beyond honored to have been allowed to leave my own mark in the game like this, and honestly never in a million years expected to actually become involved with the game.

Everyone is fine to use these as phone backgrounds but if you do youre legally required to tell me which one is your favorite.

Putting it under the cut for length, but here's a breakdown of each card;

Starting with the Evil!MC end cards, that are lovingly dubbed Judas' Kiss if you stayed with Matty, or Scorched Earth for MC's solo end.

The images really mostly speaks for themselves; the flaming heart, hand in atrocious hand if you chose to share the power with Matthias, but then when you put it next to the solo end is where it got fun for me. The heart is broken, its just you now, but the glowing eyes are smiling. My first time testing the judas kiss route I did not hestiate for a second to hit "kill him"

Next is the death card

I really liked the idea of (if your mc wasnt a huge dick anyway) that they give you a grave outside the cave, something for people to leave Rowan flowers and gifts. A classic grave didnt quite feel like it fit so I settled on a cairn. It felt very fitting with the Power being a respect for nature and such. I set it to be at night, with moonlight streaming down on the grave to give it a melancholic sort of feeling, with the sun charm sunny gives you strung off it, and then placed flowers at the grave to kinda show that people have come by because they care about Rowan. Meanings for the flowers are below and while not canon, I like to think each of the LI's left behind one of them; red roses from Abel, blue violets from Amalia, sunflowers from Lincoln and the marigolds from Joss, though really they were all chosen more generally.

Onto the blood end card! Which I named New Horizons, and not because of animal crossing. A winding road in the mountains at sunset; the road has been long, it has been hard and now youre choosing to move on. Symbolically what i wanted this card to be is that feeling of leaving everything behind. The sun is setting on your old life as you go to embrace the normal life that Blood MC wants so much. Youre on the top road moving around the bend, not sure where life will take you but that's alright, you have the rest of your life to look forward to figure out where you'll go.

Onto my own canon end; the Mixed end!

Lovingly called "Best of Both Worlds" because mixed rowan is playing that hannah montanna life. More seriously; this card in contrast to the blood end is not about leaving everything behind, but embracing what you are. The card itself is set at dawn to contrast this; soft yellows and pinks, morning dew and fog clinging to the forest floor with a streak of Power playfully dancing among the trees. Its the dawn of a new day, seeing everything in new light after the darkness of the past weeks/years rowan spent trying to understand themselves. It's my personal favorite end even if my mc and Linc gotta do long distance for a while. But to me its about accepting yourself; moving on from the grief of losing your family without alienating yourself from your memories of them and embracing that Power side of yourself without being changed by it. The life you built after being ressurected is your own and no one can take that from you.

Next up my almost canon end, that does live rent free in my mind because I love angst.

Closed gate shadow end, Far, Far away (yes this is a shrek/starwars/nerd refrence); its a fairly straight forward card, thought it does have one of my personal favorite little details. This is the second draft I made of it after this scene from Lincoln's shadow goodbye stuck with me; looking up through the trees at the night sky.

I really wanted to hide an eye shaped constellation in the stars but couldnt make it look good sadly :sob: But my favorite little detail are the fireflies and how some of them are cyan; touched by the power Rowan is now again a part of. Not canon, but I like to think these little cyan fireflies come to sit on the LI's heads next they wander too close to the woods (Fireflies by Owl City starts playing).

Shadow end is just. Its so beautiful really. From sharing your experiences with the wisps, how Rowan's wisp has been changed by their time as a person, how despite their grief they are not sad or unhappy, melancholic yes but this is where you want to be. Its a cosmic love, the joy of having lived, coming inside on a cold winter day to find your home warm and inviting, your family waiting for you to tell them about your day. The card itself is a little whimsical, hopeful despite the closed gate that the power will forever be part of the world, even if its been cut off. And this brings us to the other shadow ending card; the flower

Eternal Bloom, a ghostly hand reaching out to hand this flower over to the world, a final gift, a final goodbye. Maybe a promise of "I'll see you soon" but first and foremost, it is a promise of love.

Thats right babes. Its all about Love. Unfading Love.

symbolically there isnt anything hidden in the card, but thats also in part of it at face value telling you all you need to know; its about love! its a gift, for you, to remember me by. You have not forgotten me, and even changed as I am, I have not forgotten you. Rowan's change in personality after merging shadow was sooooo heart breaking tbh but ITS SO GOOD. You found joy in what you were, but its time to come home, take off your coat, hang it up, take off your shoes.

And it is all about love! All these cards (well, not all of them) were for me made from the heart, trying to keep in line for the different themes each end resolves to give the players something to remember each route by.

To anyone that made it this far, let me know which one is your canon card/which card you like best! And im kissing you on the lips I love rambling about my thoughts and if you got to here then you deserve a reward. So.

wip wednesday ✦

thank you @cadybear420 for the tag! ♡

i haven't updated any of my choices writing in... literal months, and while i am currently getting back into it, it's not for this fandom. nevertheless i found this wip which was supposed to be my june challenge entry, but then things happened™️ (june was a very sick month for me) and i ended up leaving it with only the very beginning scene written... still, i might finish and post it sometime lmao

this is pretty much my self indulgent mcflint first date/love confession fic, featuring euphemia's nosy ass third wheeling for them from the power dimension. takes place one year post-ilw, shadow ending + gate opened.

(i don't know who to tag since pretty much everyone prior to me was already tagged OOPS 😭 still, "tagging" everyone who wants to join in!)

below the cut because of length + not my best use of mood whiplash, but for those interested dw all the rest of this is going to be pure fluff

“I'm home!” A cheerful voice rang across the living room, followed by a sigh as Mercedes leaned against the doorframe, letting go of the shopping bags she had been carrying. “Oof, these things are heavy. Think any of you could help me?” Abel, who'd previously been sitting on the couch waiting for his sister to come home from her shopping trip, all but sprinted to the door and picked up a bag. “Manita, why? Just how many things did you buy? And what did I tell you about overspending?” Mercedes rolled her eyes fondly. “It's for you, Abel, not for me. And besides, it's not overspending if I actually planned what I'm spending on,” she added. “Since you couldn't decide on what to make for today's plans, I just bought the ingredients for everything you listed.” “Today's plans? Why are you saying that as if you're a part of it?” He put down the bag, placing it on the living room table near the vase full of white jasmine flowers he'd bought a few months ago. They're fake — after all, Abel has never been the best at taking care of plants, what with all his responsibilities and tendency to get distracted — but he doesn't think about that, nor does he like to. It doesn't matter if they're fake, they're still beautiful. And he got them because of him, the one person that's been occupying most of his mind, but whom he's never been brave enough to confess his real feelings for. He likes keeping things that remind him of Lincoln. He always did, and even now — especially now — he still does. “Because I am! I agreed to help you prepare the food and calm your nerves and do all that…” She paused to take a deep breath. “Sorry. You know all this time I've been really excited that things are back to normal with Lincoln, and—” “Wait, what? Nerves? I thought they were just hanging out, what's so important about this occasion?” Lola interrupted from inside the kitchen, not looking up from the bowl of cereal she poured herself. “You tell her or I tell her? If you don't, then I will,” Mercedes spoke, grinning and failing to hide the giggle coming out of her. Abel sighed. “Fine, I'll tell her. Because right now, you're starting to sound a lot like…” “Like…” A pang of grief and sadness, like a storm crashing into a beach that had been bright and sunny just a few moments ago, struck him as he thought of her. His best friend's younger half sister, the girl that had the same love for pirates, history and language as he had, the girl that never once left his side – anyone's side – even as he was going through his worst moments yet. Despite only being part of their lives for about a month – and despite sharing blood with the same man who ruined them, manipulated them, used them for his own selfish wants while claiming there's good behind his intentions – she knew her friends as if she'd spent a lifetime with them. And she might as well have. When comparing this girl's brightness and warmth to that of the Sun, the Sun itself fell short. She was a fighter, yes, but also a devoted and compassionate soul whose utmost priority was protecting and caring for others – not just her friends, but others in general, no matter if she didn't know them personally. And oh, how she loved peering into Abel's relationship with Lincoln. Even before Abel himself knew that what he wanted was something different from being friends again, she knew. She'd always wanted for them to reconcile and be happy together, she saw the spark inside both of them that no one else did. She'd gush to Amalia about how cute she thought they'd look together and smiled so bright when she saw them getting along, no matter how much they insisted they weren't. And now her wish came true, but she's gone. Why did it have to be her?

Six?!  *cracks knuckles and gets to typing*

@gogocatninja - The beautiful hostess of the Sunny Seaside Bar, J’inarah is a supporter of community events and the multitude of players she comes across. She’s very sweet and always ready with a signal boost is you need it!

@nightmaze - Ilwe and I started out as tumblr mutuals, but have slowly become friends over the past few months. Her gif edits are absolutely stunning (she has incredible talent with pixel art as well) and is always willing to go the extra steps to help people out. I’m honored to be able to call her a friend.

@aiswynd - An amazing supporter of my blog, aiswynd is always there when I drop an ask or with words of encouragement when I need them most. I may not know them well, but I am always grateful for their support!

@xilastae - New to tumblr, but one of my dearest friends in game, Xil has been a big help in getting me back on track. I’m still in game and posting things here for you guys due in large part to her support and friendship.

@ishgardianskypirate - Look at this prettyboy elf. Another one who fills their queue with not only screenshots of their amazing character, but with reblogs in support of the rest of the community, Fom is definitely worth following! And now that he’s got a doppelganger on Balmung, I’m determined to find him and say hello!

@rinhtimidating - I only recently met Rinh in game, but I can already tell that she’s an absolute doll and I look forward to getting to know her more! Mama Mornings, here we come!

QPR with Sunny pls. They're great. Absolute sunshine. Or are they as committed to the sun as Luis is with the moon?

same anon, same! So, Sunny's relationship with the sun is not as intimate as Luis's with the moon. They love the sun, because the sun gives warmth and light to everyone; they kin with the sun, as it were. but they're not "committed" to the extent where they have to shut doors on relationships they could have with other people. they definitely have a very special qpr with luis, it's not romantic but the two are extremely close and have a special relationship!

[itlivesproject]

i feel like harper's writing is not talked about as much as it should be and i just wanna say that ilw has given me a newfound love for them that ilb hadnt quite managed to do!

also i dont mean this to come across as demanding and greedy but a horny bitch gotta ask: had you ever considered doing a harper pov for ch23 for some sexy times👀 or had that never been in the plans? im aware, and thankful, of how much work it was to do all the devon routes (and ig all those sex scenes were much more, as weird as it sounds, anticipated than the ilb routes bc ilb already had sex but the cast were minors in ilitw. though i wonder if theres a 'diamond' option for devon to just hang out w their friends if they have no li or do they just go to bed?) i cant help but feel like ilb kinda got the short end of the stick somehow, compared to the ilitw cast who were more present in ilw even though its not their story anymore, but ig theyre more connected to the ilw storyline than the ilb cast bc they are from westchester while ilb not.

i still love the story a lot, its quickly become one of my fav 'playchoices' (heh) stories, i just kinda want to start a conversation more than criticise, if that makes sense.

thank you <3 i personally really love harper and i LOVED writing them so much. the ilb scenes were some of my favorite to work on.

to answer your question, let me first say that i am one of the few probably who actually prefer ilb to ilitw. so i went into ilw wanting ilb rights 😂 secondly, i will say that the crux of the answer comes down to technicalities behind writing variants.

interestingly, we actually were considering the idea of Elliot being part of the ilw crew when we first started and having a nerve score! the idea was that a) he's a guaranteed survivor so we wouldn't have to write variants around it and b) he had gone to connor when harper vanished and they were working together more actively in looking for harper. we ended up scrapping the idea however, because he didn't feel necessary. him in that role really felt like extra baggage, and there wasn't really room for a character arc for him. so we changed it to how it ended up being. we also were considering having one ilb crew member being part of the ilw crew as well, since at least two of them are guaranteed to not die and not leave, but that idea quickly got tossed because it was simply too many variants.

when it comes to ilitw, every single character has the possibility of being dead, so one of the earliest things we did was come up with a "contribution" for each character. we didn't want it to be like in ilb, when you just have this awkward one-off conversation with each one and they're all in the same room but not talking to each other for some reason?? so we decided to separate them out from each other more and make their contributions independent of each other. we also had to figure out what happens if they are dead and unable to provide their contribution.

Ava - obviously her contribution was coven leader. If she's dead, Sunny is the leader.

Stacy - she attends the dinner party with rowan and connor and allows you to bring your LI along with you.

Lucas - he helps work on the cure, and his survival is necessary to being able to fully cure the horrors at the end of the game.

Andy - he helps revived devon/noah in the physical therapy scene

Dan - he provides therapy to rowan which comes with some nerve gain

Once we had all these contributions, we had a really hard time thinking about what ILB crews "contributions" would be. And because they weren't from Westchester, it didn't make as much sense for them to be involved. Secondly, because someone's always guaranteed to be alive, the scenes of all of them together are actually a lot easier and possible to write, where ILITW's scenes like that are insanely difficult. so instead of having their "contributions," ilb crew's involvement was mostly considered by us as a group thing, and it was focused around harper's disappearance arc. We had discussed ways to make them more involved, but it didn't really fit and we felt like it distracted from the main story we were trying to tell. It was a tough balance to figure out how to make previous books matter and bring back old characters while giving the new characters the screen time and focus that they needed. I hope this makes sense!

I know a few people were disappointed that Harper didn't do much in chapters 21-23 but you have to understand that Harper could never be instrumental in their success, because they can be dead, and we didn't want to lock mc succeeding behind harper being alive or not. secondly, that ending scene had an insane amount of variants, from rowan secretly being a traitor, to devon/noah who was human and who was the ghost, to LIs dying and/or leaving, and throwing harper into the mix would have been extremely complicated for a character whose involvement wouldn't be able to fundamentally change anything, for the reasons i explained above.

Now, moving onto the horny scenes, we actually were planning on having ilb sex scenes when we first started, but when we realized how many sex scenes we were going to write (it ended up being a grand total of 21 lol) we were like. never mind 😂 the spot it was going to go was actually after harper was saved from the breach and you play as them. originally their leg wasn't broken and they weren't in the hospital, so that's where it was going to go. but as the scenes changed and we got burnt out from writing sex scenes, we decided not to include it, our rationale being a) they're in the hospital and b) they got two sex scenes in ilb whereas ilitw lis haven't ever gotten one. it definitely would not have worked for the epilogue, because I think it would have really thrown off the pacing to just take turns playing as each mc getting it on with their LI lol. but everyone is free to hc what harper and their LI did after that bbq heehee

[itlivesproject]

(continued in part 3!)

-abel simp anon🤍

PART TWO

[itlivesproject]

I'm curious to see if you have any Connor headcanons about his life after Jane's death and the ILITW group splintered, but before ILITW. What about his reactions to the aftermath to everything that happened on Homecoming depending on who lived and who died, and what he hopes to do with his life after ILW?

He wasn't too close to the group, so I don't think he would've been that affected. He would definitely have noticed that Stacy acted differently, but I think he'd assume it had to do with one of her best friends, Jane, dying. I think he tried to cheer Stacy up as much as possible. He noticed that Stacy no longer spent time with her friends, so he was the brother who would bring his little sister with him to hang out with with his friends, and if any of them complained about his tag-along sister Connor would get protective and they'd never complain about that again.

I think he did pretty average in school. Not horrible, but not great. He's more of a go out and do, work with his hands kind of guy rather than an academic.

After homecoming, he was definitely never the same again. Depending on what happened, he could've lost his sister and the person he was falling in love with. But even if neither of them died, he went through traumatic experiences with supernatural monsters and ghosts. I figure he tried to go back to living a normal life after homecoming (with varying degrees of success depending on how much loss he experienced). He decided to move back to Westchester and worked a couple of jobs to try to support himself and not rely on his parents, taking some hours as a mechanic and learning those skills and working part-time shifts at the local hardware store. If Stacy lived, he spent a lot of time trying to facilitate reconciliation and a healthy relationship between the two. If Stacy died, he wanted to be there for his parents through their grief.

He also never really moved on from the Power. Though he wasn't actively fighting against it at first, I imagine he did a lot of studying up on it, met with Ava (if survived) or Sunny frequently to talk about it as they got the coven up and going, and I think he took frequent walks through the woods to see if he found anything out of the ordinary. Once Devon/Noah finally came to him about Redfield Noah/Devon, he was immediately on board because he never really left everything behind.

After ILW, if he's with Devon he just wants to settle down with them, leave all this behind him, and have a family. If he's not dating Devon, he'd probably hope to eventually find someone but in the meantime, just be fully independent. He'd like to open his own mechanics shop so he doesn't have to work for anybody or rely on anyone and be fully independent in his professional work.

[itlivesproject]

Going with the theory someone posted earlier that the ILW cast is being haunted by their dead loves ones: Rowan is being haunted by Annie. Abel: his dead parents. Lincoln: his late mother. Jocelyn: Cody. Amalia: someone from her past she kept a secret. Connor: Mayor Green AND Stacy if she died in ILITW. Something (The Power? Luis? Marianthe? Matthias? Sunny?) is behind it all and manipulating Annie, Abel's parents, Lincoln's mother, the person haunting Amalia, Cody, Mayor Green, and/or Stacy.

Interesting……

[itlivesproject]

Hey! I'm loving it sm right now, but j wanted to ask if the other ilitw chafavgers will have more screen time later on? My MC dated Andy, and it feels kinda like the game assumes you either dated Connor or wanted to date Noah (like, this is my ONLY super MILD issue with it so far, but Connor mentioning MC dating Andy felt like an afterthought :( ) and I'd love there to be... Some consequence to the fact I dated and love my boy king kang

hiii, i believe this has been answered before, but trust me when i say nothing regarding the ilitw characters are after thoughts in this project. understand that ilw is its own entity, we want to focus on the new characters, the new Lis, plus we're continuing from what looked to be the crew dev/noah/connor put together at the end of ilb.

the connor screentime is bc connor is guaranteed to be alive, we can always just write him and not worry about it. But if we were to make Andy(or any of the other Lis) as big of a character as Connor, every single time he ever said anything ever, we would have to write an alternate version where he’s not there. (like what we do for ava/sunny)

Because Connor is a consistent presence, we’ve added variants if he is Devon’s LI. Yeah there are a lot more romance opportunities with Connor and Noah but again, it’s because they’re both guaranteed to be there and also Noah never got his romance moments in previous books so :((( he’s getting them now lol. 

If you don’t want any romance either of them, don’t make Connor your LI and don’t encourage the Noah romance. The other LIs will make appearances sooner or later but don’t expect it to be something huge like Connor because that would be… a nightmare to write and code for the alive/dead variants four different people, and you will be disappointed.

that being said, just be patient! and ty for the ask c:

FOLLOWED UP BY AN ILB MC MENTION???? you're spoiling us this week 💞💞 and she just so happens to have mysteriously disappeared ???? well I sure hope she didn't run too far pspsps come back ilb mc I miss u girl

the way this entire chapter was such a rollercoaster i- 🤚

definitely doing the ritual for noah because 1. I am a proud noah marshall apologist and 2. I do not trust annie for a SECOND

~ritual time~

I FINALLY MET SUNNY AND THEY ARE ADORABLE OMG (ava survived in my playthrough and I was so sad when everyone was talking about how cool sunny is, I felt like i was missing out)

I believe ava called noah a "rat boy" (I accidentally pressed off the dialogue too fast but I'm pretty sure that what she said) and it's SO FUNNY because that's something me and my friends say ALL the time

ty for the little hand squeeze abel u absolute cutie

NOAHS CONNECTION TO HIS HAT HAS SUCH A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART I DONT THINK YOU UNDERSTAND (I think it's the pure glee and childlike innocence that really gets me because our boy has been through so much yk?? his vulnerability juxtaposing the rough edge he projected as a human *LMAO SORRY the english student in me really came out swinging*) (surprise surprise this is another part that almost had me crying)

and the ritual...... didn't work? I honestly had no idea which direction you would take with this because you're all too hard to read lmao

I know I've mentioned I'm an easy crier before but DUDE the amount I cried when talking to both connor and ali(my ilitw mc) after their argument was uhh .. certainly something (good job I had tissues nearby) but listening to both their takes and feelings was so special, I really liked both those scenes

yet again, another incredible chapter guys, you impress us every week!!!

-all my love, abel simp anon 🥰🥰
