Writing Update 25/3 - 19

Chapter 13 is done. AAH!

Chapter 14 has much more exploring + potential discoveries about the world and characters, so it will probably take even longer to write, BUT since I’ve finished most of the work I need to do for next month already I’ll most likely have more time to write in April!

Only 2-3 chapters to go, a few more branching scenes in chapter 10 and additional stuff in chapter 7 and 9 to go and then the first draft of writing for TSS should be done~

I want to apologize for the lack of asks answered here as well; I’ve been quite busy and when I do have time I try to devote it to completing the book. I don’t want to give hasty answers. But I will try to get some out this week!

Thank you everyone for your support <3

If it couldn't be avoided, would A sacrifice themself to save R?

I couldn’t answer that fully due to potential spoilers, but I can say this - A would be ready to do a lot for their family. It depends somewhat on how the relationship between A and R progresses in your individual playthrough, as the MC will have some opportunity to sway it one way or the other.

All that being said, the well-being of their family isn’t their ultimate goal. 

Thank you so much for the ask!

how would R react if MC asked to eat sweets off their chest while promising R would get to do the same to MC in return thank u for reading this namaste

I think R would get stuck stuttering what the hell the MC was on about and never actually get to that part, lmao. 

R isn’t the most experimental with that stuff, since they’re terribly awkward with so much as thinking about intimacy.

Thank you so much for the ask!

How would the LIs react to a MC with a really big irrational fear? Like over spiders, snakes, heights, etc.

A would impatiently remind the MC why it’s called an irrational fear: because it’s irrational. Would proceed to expose the MC to their fear in question because, according to them, that’s the only real way to overcome it.

R would make fun of and tease the MC about it, but would also try to talk it over with them and, although not the best with words, would attempt to make them feel a bit better about it.

G would call it adorable and, much like A, want to expose the MC to their fear, though they would do it in a more creative way such as creating a program or something that they would force the MC to play through until they felt less scared.

M would be sympathetic towards the MC and tell them about their own irrational fears to show that it’s nothing unusual or bad, and let them know (if they have a good relationship, that is) that they are still one of the bravest people M has ever met.

Q would be curious to see the MC’s reaction to their fear, but wouldn’t actively try to get them into that kind of situation. Unless it was a bug for example; then they might show the MC one just to see their reaction. But they would apologize by rubbing their arms up and down in a comforting manner afterwards.

Thank you for the ask~

Do the RO's (mainly A,Q AND R because you know.. how old they are and everything lol) still celebrate t heir birthdays? what if MC made them a cake? or somehow, managed to tie themselves up with ribbon on the ros bed as a present 👀

Birthdays isn’t generally celebrated a lot in their world, no. The day of someone’s birth used to be more celebrated in the past, but not exactly in the way that we do here. It’s more a day where you are supposed to honor the world you were born into which, due to the decaying state of the shadow world, isn’t practiced much anymore. The Shadowman always liked the idea of celebrating people the way that the humans in the sun world does, though.

In G’s culture, birthdays aren’t celebrated at all, nor do they have the tradition to honor their own world. To say more would be spoilery, sorry ^^

If the MC made them a cake, however…

A would question the point of it, but would still accept it (if it looked edible). They would be much more excited over the MC-in-a-ribbon gift, though.

R would blush like crazy and mumble a few too many “thanks” while taking their slice of the cake with them to eat by themselves, since they wouldn’t want the MC to see their emotional reaction to it. As for the MC-in-a-ribbon kind of scenario, they’d freeze on the spot for a minute before storming off and yelling “I’m sorry!”

G would be really excited and ask how sunworlders properly honor the cake, likely making some kind of ritual out of it in an attempt to be like the humans. They would be very excited for the MC-in-a-ribbon gift as well, and would waste no time unwrapping it.

M would be very surprised, since they’re not used to being shown attention or receiving gifts for their birthday. Then they would be overjoyed and grin from ear to ear whilst getting teary eyed, telling the MC that this is the best birthday they’ve ever had. The MC-in-a-ribbon gift would leave them a stuttering, nervously laughing mess, but they’d be very excited over it nonetheless.

Q wouldn’t understand the meaning of the cake, but they would be grateful to the MC and enjoy spending time sticking pointy things into the cake. If they saw the MC wrapped in a ribbon… Well. Q doesn’t get those kind of sexy gestures at all, so they would give a very judgemental stare, pull the ribbon away and take it with them out of the room.

Thank you for the ask~

Writing Update 20/12 - 18

Hey everyone! Here comes another writing update.

I’ve completed the first romance event for Q in chapter 10 and am currently working on R’s as well as having written the beginning on chapter 11 (where the 2 secret RO’s are revealed!). When I’m done with all five, I will write the non-romance paths (aka friendship or loner ones) as well.

Something that I think I haven’t mentioned about the two secret RO’s is that, unlike the  main ones, they do not change sex depending on your preference. One of them is male and one is female. However, you can still romance both regardless of the MC’s gender.

The two secret RO’s also don’t have as much content as the 5 main ones due to story reasons, but hopefully they’ll still be enjoyable :)

I think that’s all I’ve got for now. Have a great day and thank you all for your support <3

R’s Playlist Song Meanings

Since I got a few messages with people wanting me to give my reasoning for choosing the songs I did for the other playlists outside of Q’s, I thought I’d go for R’s next!

Someone also asked me why I didn’t include “Buried Alive” in the Q playlist evaluation, and this for the simple reason that I added it to their playlist by mistake..... it was supposed to go in R’s playlist. Sorry for the confusion!

Okay, here goes:

“Numb”, Linkin Park: Describes R’s feelings in relation to A and their father, or feelings they’ve had towards them that they might not even be fully aware of themselves.

“Mama”, My Chemical Romance: A bit spoilery, but it’s got to do with R and their relation with their mother. Other than that the song kind of expresses their bleak outlook on things and not having been very accepted growing up.

“Fire, Fire”, Flyleaf: Apart from the more literal sense that R has a temper and fiery eyes, the song speaks about someone feeling like they’ve got something to prove and I think it fits their internal battle between what they feel like they should be or what they might want to be, their constant fight with themselves over their self-worth and their sense of uselessness.

“Idfc”, Blackbear: R tends to act like they don’t care because their own emotions can scare them, especially if they are about someone else. This song describes how they handle their potential feelings for the MC and maybe even A in some instances.

“Alone Tonight”, Dirtier Blonde, Kristen Collins: Speaks to some of R’s darker sides; they have no wish to be left alone, but so far being around other people have made them feel worse rather than better. They are also very much trapped by their past and their memories.

“Little Girl”, Faith Marie: R have often felt like what they say don’t matter, which this song touches upon.

“Eyes On Fire”, Blue Foundation: Very literal meaning behind this one, referring to R’s fiery eyes. But also has to do with their more animalistic, shapeshifting side which will come up more later on in the story.

“Crawl”, Holly Henry: How I imagine the romanced MC (or some romanced MC’s) might feel in regards to R, ex. “you say your mind is damaged goods, you might be damaged but you’re so good”.

“Buried Alive”, Lovers and Liars: Song about pressure, making things worse etc. which can damage a person greatly, and which I think resonates with R.

“Despicable”, grandson: R’s own feelings about themselves.

I'm not even trolling, R, would you step on me if I asked you

you want me to hurt you for no reason? I mean… sure, why not. -R

That is not how they meant it. -A

oh yeah? that is literally what they just asked. and of course you just magically know how a stranger thinks, that makes a lot of fucking sense. -R

Since my sibling is much too dense to properly understand answer the question, I can say with 98.9% certainty that they would faint before they could even make the attempt in that kind of situation. -A

[carawenfiction]

Hey Rheylo, what were u thinking the first time u laid eyes on the FEM! MC

that she looked really fucking confused and a little bit stupid. -R

[carawenfiction]

Hey R and a happy birthday! Also what were your thoughts when you first saw the MC

uh… didn’t I already answer this? -R

Well, there is no way for them to know what kind of questions you receive, so there is no reason for you to complain about it. -A

where was i even complaining? god… -R

[carawenfiction]

R, what are your three sizes

… what? why would you- why would I- what? why??? I… I don’t… I- I- I… -R

(I think you broke them, anon).

[carawenfiction]

Rheylo really seems like he doesn't want to be doing this...Can't we just give him a nice birthday and leave him be before we break him?

agreed -R

(Alright, I suppose we could always bring A in here instead?)

wait, what? no, no! this is fine, this is perfect, just for the love of god don’t bring their arrogant ass over here -R

[carawenfiction]

Happy Birthday, R!

The asks sent in for this day specifically will be answered throughout the day. Thanks everyone for showing your love and appreciation for TSS and R~

(and please overlook the fact that I didn’t nearly put in as much effort to M’s birthday since I forgot about it fheuueufe)

What if the MC liked to draw and had a sketchbook filled with drawings of the ROs...what would the ROs reactions be is they accidentally stumbled upon it? Also, would any of the ROs tease the MC about the drawings?

A would thoroughly inspect the drawings, even if the MC found them snooping through them and would proceed to offer unwanted constructive criticism on them. They’d probably also suggestively note on how the MC must have watched them a lot to be able to create the drawings.

R would be in a state of shock, but would be unable to walk away and would proceed to look through the drawings one by one. They’d be terribly flustered and self-conscious because of it, but they would also be moved in a way that I don’t think they would even understand themselves. Afterwards they’d definitely be awkward albeit nicer than usual around the MC.

G would be genuinely touched by it, and would take one of the drawings for themselves to put in a special place. They’d be especially affectionate towards the MC afterwards, though they’d pretend like they hadn’t come across the drawings.

M would try to pretend like they hadn’t seen the drawings, but would be too excited to contain themselves and would blurt out an apology to the MC, explaining how they just happened to stumble upon the drawings and loved them but didn’t mean to disrespect their privacy. Then they’d go on to say how awesome the MC’s art is and encourage them to continue.

Q would be curious about the drawings and would be engrossed by them. They’d bring a paper and a pen to the MC, trying to communicate that they want to learn how to draw as well. Then they would spend days trying to make drawings of the MC in turn.

I can see G and M teasing the MC if the drawings were really unflattering, and I could see R having a small crisis over if they actually looked like that lmao. 

Thank you so much for the ask! ^^
