Summary:

When the Institute sought to redefine mankind, Danse and the Sole Survivor both got caught in the crossfire. Together, they're trying to pick up the pieces of their past and build a new future. Their bond is stronger than steel; their loyalty runs deeper than blood. But a new menace is spreading across the Commonwealth, a desperate search for answers only seems to raise more questions, and even the ties that bind them may not be enough to hold them together. Can they survive the rise of the AntAgonizer, or will the ants inherit the Earth and trample their world underfoot?

So I was telling someone about new OCs I'm making and mentioned "you know how I love Wife Guy Sylvain who will show off his cute wife at all times" and ... it made me wanna draw Sylvain and Bernadetta again.

Y'know, puttering around with my recordings, I think I really am going to give Davrin's romance with Ver a pretty serious twisting around. Rewrite some things a bit, change things around, keep most of the "slow burn" of it intact- but also add in the "friends with benefits" elements that I feel match what he says in the check-in scene after the point of no return better.

I think I have a post from like, months before release, when all we knew about the character was "charming Warden (who may or may not have been the Storm Coast team's commander in '41)", about how I sort of expected his to be the romance that starts off more casual (with the expiration date all Wardens have, it's not surprising that someone who's been one for at least ten years would be hesitant to enter any genuine emotional entanglements, platonic or romantic), and then for him to find himself falling for Rook unexpectedly (and kind of against his will) anyway.

And from some of that late dialogue, I still think that that may have been the exact intention, initially, but maybe they didn't want to create too big a disparity between the different romance paths, or like they didn't want for it to come off like they weren't taking him as seriously as the rest, so the path sort of ended up getting a bit... I don't wanna say "subdued", but I can't think of a better word lol. Brought to match the pacing of the others and the overall story more, that's more like what I mean.

.... Anyway, I kinda think I wanna have them sleep together for the first time either after his personal quest (no more distractions, clearly established romantic interest in- and some commitment to one another, but with still an opportunity to angst about everything else) or preferably, that night after drinking with Lucanis.

I'm leaning towards the latter thought, specifically because it'd be clearly a very, very bad idea.

It'd be far too fast, far too early, I got that scene like right after the Cauldron, so deep in the thick of his personal quest- plus, the mutual interest was barely expressed like one day prior to it, and there was alcohol involved. Which all kind of makes it perfect, because it's an awful time to toss that complication in there.

But, it gives me an opportunity to have the both of them keep thinking that it being just a casual, physical thing is what the other wants (despite the "well, I could see us heading somewhere, someday" of it), and to have their feelings developing sort of in the background of it-- and then!!!!! that forest kiss can also take a role more like another complicating factor, with the "heart of a halla" line being a bit more ambiguous.

Like, casually kissing your booty call/situationship/FWB you've been secretly falling for, it's a bit more touchy-feely than the previously established [they were not established] guidelines [there are no guidelines] suggest is appropriate [none of this is appropriate], but it feels right, and that alone makes it feel weird and confusing, ykwim?

But, then the whole "Most of my life, I've gone it alone. With you... I never want to go back." thing makes more sense being where it is, after his personal quest, to me at least. Because that sounds like a confession, and with being free from worries and the griffons safe (with Eldrin, in that game), there's a great time to have a long-ish, actually serious conversation about what this is and where it's going.

.... That would also mean that some of the bed scene dialogue doesn't make as much sense ("Is this all just for show"? "Just like I imagined"? Girl you know exactly if it's for show and what his hands feel like, you've been getting dicked down semi-regularly for weeks), but I can work with some tweaks to that lol. The final parts of it, about planning the future and getting soppy still make perfect sense, it's just those lines in the leadup that need some minor tweaking.

Idk, I really liked the in-game experience I had, and I love me a good slow burn, but I can't deny that it's more my style when "slow burn" doesn't also mean ".... so sex is a thing that happens only at the very end, when all feelings are resolved". I like it adding more uncertainty and confusion into the mix, and giving a sort of "oh, this is different now" feel to that first time once the feelings are also resolved.

(The date though, I wanna keep where and how it is exactly, because he mentions he got the tip for the picnic from Evka and Antoine, and I find it really cute to imagine him just sort of looking at them after speaking with Valya like.... "... they probably have the right idea of it, don't they. While we're here, let... let me just go ask. How to, uh. Do this whole. Romance thing, I guess. Make it sound, idk, casual. And chill. We're... chill." Never mind that Evka and Antoine are literally one of the most romantic couples any of them know, but yknow, nbd.)

(And then it goes all the way sideways? Love it. Love the "hey so this tea I thought would be a fun, cute thing for us to try made her trip absolute balls for a while, so maybe this outing is not a great opportunity to like, talk. Seriously. About how I may or may not be falling a little bit in love with her. And by 'little bit', I mean 'up to the very tips of my ears'. Nbd, just gonna... postpone, spilling my guts out for her perusal, I guess." of it all. A+, no notes.)

Ask Game for someone’s OC(s): ✨🍀🍎🍩 svsss ocs?

OOOOH DAAAAA MOSHANG KIDDOS!

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

I like making fankids... my cringe fandom achilles heel... and it would be funny if they weren't like golden halo protags and were instead kind of cringe.

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

OH THE MONEYSHOT!

My hot take is that moshang would earnestly do their best to parent but have a lot of baggage that would make it challenging to emotionally connect with children (in addition to 2-3 very time consuming logistical jobs taking up their time.) They're definitely the best parents in SVSSS but the bar is in the Abyss. They love them, but they're not always the best at showing it in a way that they understand.

Oldest son and crown prince Xuejiao (proud, spoiled, inclined to be lazy, prone to crippling migraines that render him indisposed and a bitch) gets along best with Qinghua. Both of them collect palace gossip and like to micromanage; Qinghua gets back into writing and Xuejiao enjoys proofreading while lounging on his father's bed like he owns the place (not the smutty stuff, though, at least he's not supposed to read that.)

He and Mobei Jun have a respectful but distant relationship. I think deep down XJ has some shame that he isn't as proactive about preparing for and fighting for the throne as MBJ, but as a teen he doesn't want to enough to do something about it so he just avoids those feelings by avoiding his father. They're both very aloof and really need a sticky extrovert to bring them out of their shells..

Tiehan by all accounts should get along best with Qinghua because he's the BAAaAaAaAbY and he's small and smiley and very very talkative. But that's all superficial, and underneath that thin layer of cultivated silliness he's as mercenary and brutal as any demon. Mobei Jun is happy to have a child that jumps at the chance to go on hunting trips and put down minor rebellions with him (XJ is NOT leaving his chaise lounge to go OUTSIDE, THANK YOU.) He tramps around in muddy shoes and brings beasts into the palace. Qinghua feels a little guilty that he really can't stand to be around his youngest for more than an hour at a time.

🍩 -Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?

Other than Various influences in the Northern court that initially conspired to try to poison the crown prince as a baby (those influences are no longer present, or living, and have been rendered unto a soup like homogenate) the closest thing either has to a nemesis is probably the head disciple of Bai Zhan Peak that Xuejiao was inflicted on. She's a jock and a bit of a bully but in her defense her new shidi (who she was NOT consulted on the admission of into her cohort) is arrogant, spoiled and completely disregards her authority. And she can't beat his ass too badly because Liu Qingge himself specifically brought him in to train (at Shang Qinghua's prostrated begging request)

It's always the lot of the Bai Zhan seniors to have beef with half demons, it's how things are done.

My FL main went through some really weird, organic development over the...oh god, I think it's been five years since I started playing now.

So my main is named Skadi Larkin. They are a little bastard. They started out extremely 2D; I named them after my favorite Norse goddess and the protagonist of the book I was reading at the time. I originally wanted to make them female like both of their namesakes, but the second I saw the third-gender option, I thought it was too good to pass up. This is where they got their primary base characterization as a mad scientist who wanted to Cause Problems.

Then I started the Nemesis ambition and forgot which option I'd chosen for who I was trying to avenge, so they lost both their lover and their older brother under tragic circumstances (only the lover was killed by Nemesis's antagonist, though).

Then I got an Exceptional Friendship and had to give my tragic backstory in order to gain entry to the House of Chimes. Skadi pulled said tragic backstory (orphaned in a hansom accident) more or less out of their ass, but it did establish that their parents are dead.

Somewhere down the line, I realized that technically Skadi is a linguist, since the Correspondence is a language, and I made that their profession on the Surface as well.

Around this time, I started working on character designs for my fan comic. I got really into messing around with skin tone, and somewhere along the line thought it would be fun to draw Skadi (who was originally white) with darker skin, and it stuck.

Then I abruptly realized I was taking a lot of options that increased my Melancholy, and almost all of them were based on the Surface. So now Skadi has a longing for the Surface.

I left the game for a few years, but somewhere during this stretch of time, and I don't know how this happened, but I decided Skadi was now Native American; specifically, Metis. I changed their design to incorporate a sash woven in a style characteristic of the Metis, which also added a bit of color to their design (which was mostly black or grey at this point).

During this time, I started incorporating Skadi into my fan comic. This would eventually lead me to actually flesh out their backstory in greater detail. When I started playing the game again, I also created my first alt by total accident (long story), and I decided to weave her backstory with Skadi's.

So Skadi is in the interesting position of being an Indigenous person who is what we'd probably consider Two-Spirit today but they'd just call "Bollocks to that gender crap". They never belonged on the Surface, since the Metis are in a bit of a liminal space compared to other tribes due to their interesting background (the Metis are the descendants of French settlers and Indigenous inhabitants, mostly Cree), and Skadi exists in a liminal space within that liminal space due to only being half-Metis and raised primarily in white culture, although they still maintained a connection to it through their late mother. They also never belonged because no one else on the Surface outside of the communities they already felt isolated from would ever accept them for their gender. London gave them a chance to express one of those, but not both, and despite knowing that the Surface hates them just for existing, they still long to return.

2, 4, and 5 for the otp ask game, for Harrakty and Pavarti and Khloe and Ralph!

Bonus question: What was the moment they knew they'd fallen for their partner?

Oh thank you!! :0 More questions these are so fun!!

For Ralph and Khlo!

What would they do if the other woke in a manic state after a nightmare? Ralph would straight up cry if Khloe wakes up freaking out. He would hold her, unsure of what to do, because Khloe's secretly the strong one of the two. If Ralph wakes up freaking out and manic Khloe would also go to hold him down, but she would definitely be a bit more calm and soothing to him, hopefully able to talk him down from his state.

Which is more protective? Who needs to be protected? They're both ravenously protective of the other. Khloe has already squished a person with her telekinesis for harming Ralph, and Ralph has done a lot of "domino-effect" protections of Khloe. Both are sweet babies who need protection: Khloe is slowly becoming a bit of a figurehead of the resistance, and Ralph just got booted from the Nos Warrens for picking his girlfriend and coterie over helping a fellow Nos in need... someone help them plz.

Describe their cozy night in! Answered this one! <3

What was the moment they knew they'd fallen for their partner? Ralph and Khloe got off relatively on the wrong foot - Ralph being a little creepy to the new blood, though Khloe snapped right back at him. Despite this however, the chemistry was very strong between the two and it didn't take long at all to get over that initial cringefail. They liked each other from the start and it was a couple of weeks of teenage tiptoeing around it until Khloe - after figuring out how what she needs to make a telekinesis concoction - asked Ralph to help her hunt for a very specific blood resonance. During the hunt, they talked and cracked jokes, and unfortunately listening to the big guy make her laugh made her want him hook line and sinker. After the hunt (and having to burn their clothes due to trudging through ATL sewers) they consummated their relationship first then immediately followed it up with agreeing to be boyfriend and girlfriend! That was the initial spark, but later when Khloe had to do a lot of technical legwork to connect with her missing sire and Ralph immediately helped her no questions asked was probably when she knew she could always lean on him and trust him. <3 Ralph pretty much followed the same timeline liking and loving Khloe-wise! Though his deeper love moment came when they were fighting a Fullblood Tremere, he went and pulled a chair leg to make a stake, and Khloe immediately hopped on the back of the Fullblood to keep her in place so he had a clear shot to the heart. That's when HE knew Khloe was someone reliable.

For Parvati and Harri!

What would they do if the other woke in a manic state after a nightmare? We know exactly what they would do! Parvati is Ravnos, and during the Week of Nightmares Summer 1999, where the Ravnos Methuselah Zapathasura awoke and inflicted madness upon his bloodline - Parvati went on murderous rampage. Being a low generation, she was a force that could've wiped out the entire temple and then some of the surrounding block. Harrakhty sprang into action the moment he was informed, doing everything he could to incapacitate his darling without killing her. He used his own low generation abilities as well as his Sobek form to combat her, and when they finally had her torpored he never left her side until things were calmed and she was free of her temporary madness. Harrakhty realized that his many blessings granted to him - success, a beautiful lover and equal, ecstasy and power - were fleeting if he continued to rest on his laurels... they're finite if he didn't keep building his empire. This is the inciting incident that allowed the bargain to make Kahanni - Harrakhty and Parvati's trueborn daughter.

Which is more protective? Who needs to be protected? They're both incredibly powerful Elders who have built their relationship on seeing the other as an equal - though Harri is certainly the more outwardly and loudly protective. Parvati is always on alert in the presence of others, so Harri may have more actual shows of him protecting his wife, Parvati is the bodyguard who ensures Harri is never a snake in the presence of... other snakes who would harm him.

Describe their cozy night in! A big cozy pile of cushions and blankets and perhaps a few unfortunate(?) blood dolls that are too high to understand the gravity of the situation they're in. A perfect night in indulging and enjoying each other completely... the blood dolls are little toys who MAY survive if the king and queen are distracted enough.

What was the moment they knew they'd fallen for their partner? These two are our enemies to lovers. Parvati is older than Harri, and has wandered the Earth a few more centuries than he has. Born in the jungle as a shovelhead and wandering Bronze Era India and its jungles, Parvati eventually returned to civilization and housed herself in an old temple where the locals in the closeby city immediately understood what she was and began preparing her offerings. Though she knew it was too good to be true, she did indulge herself a bit before she overstayed her welcome and drew the ire of the ACTUAL local vampires who had pull over the peoples - the Followers of Set cult. The cult was annoyed by such a slight, and sent one of their promising Ancillae - Harrakhty Hamdi - to take out the pest. Of course Harri came across Parvati within the temple and was overwhelmed by such a gorgeous creature... though that didn't stop him from initiating battle. However it wasn't until he had her "defeated" was when he realized she had escaped him long ago through powerful Chimerstry. Over a few centuries they play a cat and mouse game, too prideful to give up the hunt but having too much fun fighting an equal they never make the final killing blow. Finally, one night, they take too long and the sun will soon rise and torpor looms if they don't get out of there. Harri and Parvati both know - especially after experiencing a few moments of deep connection through telepathic Auspex through Parvati - that they care for the other. Harri asks if they can trust each other to lie beside the other through torpor, and to wake together the following night. They stay together, wake up and make love instead of fight, and they've been a couple ever since! Thank you that was probably my favorite!!

Day 18 - Swap (gender-swap check)

Ryoga has a congenital ability to exchange sex and he and Mika use it constantly to joke with the household. Often annoys Naoki as a brother-peer at first, and as the one who got the beautiful father's (and aunt) genetics in the form of large boobs at second.

So Ryoga spends most of his time in gloves.

Fun fact: Mina was very worried about what names to give her children at the beginning, because Royga's ability started working from the moment of the complete formation of the infants bodies in her belly (the last two weeks of pregnancy), and babies before and after birth were constantly switched their sex with each other, until they started acting more separately from each other. + In fact, before the manifestation of Ryoga's abilities they were both sexless(as all newborn slimes), and the ability mixed something in them and in the end their bodies can change as all slimes do, but cannot return to the original sexless form.
