#ro: the ex spouse

[thedoover-if]

Hello! What do the ex’s parents think of their current spouse? 👀 What did they think of the mc? Lol, can you imagine if they had mc’s new wedding picture on the mantle. 🤣🤣

Ex: Um? 👁️👄👁️

One of their parents: YOU lost them. They’re still my child. They had a lovely wedding.

hi! honestly, their parents still live in town so they dont get to interact much with their current spouse but they keep it polite whenever they do get a chance to speak to the affair partner, be it through facetime, or even just a simple call. at first they were very frosty towards them but they didnt want to cut ties with their only child so thats what they settled on. the parents actually didnt attend the wedding ceremony (it was a small gathering) but they did send a 'congrats' card signed mum & dad (so no special messages, no gifts, nothing)

it took quite some time for the ex's parents to warm up to the MC but thats with all their previous partners and when they finally did they were absolutely besotted with them. it just all seemed so perfect, they really felt like their child had found their true soulmate to grow old with, so imagine their shock when they found out about the divorce AND cheating!!!

the ex got quite a chewing out by both of their parents and also an earful of the "im disappointed in you".

their parents show their love through homemade meals, and whilst it isnt as frequent anymore, they do make sure to drop off a batch of muffins, homemade soup or whatever else they can cook up a few times a month to catch up and make sure the MC is doing alright. or theyll invite them over for sunday roast haha so yeah very much still very close to the MC

LOL i can totally imagine that haha the MC is very much considered family they hold very dear and arent ready to lose over the ex's stupidity. haha the ex is actually very aware of how highly their parents regard them but its not something they ever hated or anything it was just more so awkward in a way?

YES thats exactly how it plays out if the MC were to get remarried again haha love it!!! theyll definitely make sure to bring lots of gifts and good energy

Vedic Astrology - Future Spouse Prediction: The Name part 2

As I already discussed the method to predict predict the prominent sounds the Future Spouses name in my previous post (link below), now I will show some examples.

Example 1 Angelina Jolie

Her Birthdate is June 4th, 1975 at 1:05 am in Los Angeles (US)

In her D9 chart her 7th house has the sign of Aquarius, therefor her 7th lord is Saturn. Her Saturn is places in Taurus in Krittika Nakshatra.

The Hindi letters for Krittika Nakshatra are:

आ equals an A (ah) sound

ई equals an I (ee) sound

उ equals an U (oo) sound

ऐ equals an E (ai) sound

Her first husbands name is Johnny Lee Miller (I sound in all 3 names)

Her second husbands name is Billy Bob Thornton (I sound twice in the first name)

Her third husbands name is Brad Pitt (E sound in first name, I sound in the last name)

As you can see the sound I is very prominent in the names of her Ex-spouses. Brad Pitt even has two different sounds present in his names, not only the I sound in Pitt but also the E sound in Brad.

Additional note: Another point I wanna add is that her Ketu in her D1 chart is also in Krittika Nakshatra. And Ketu also holds an important signaficance in the Spouse analysis, because it represents our partner from a past life. I forgot to mention that in my previous post (I might add that later on there as well). But the reason why Ketu in the D1 chart can also be a strong indicator of the spouse is because it is similar to our lowest point, while Rahu is similar to our highest point, since it represents our destination where we are heading towards in this lifetime and Ketu is where we started. In this manner it is kinda similar to our Darakaraka and can also indicate traits of a spouse who comes from a past life.

Example 2 Justin Bieber

His Birthdate is March 1st, 1994 at 0:56 am in Stratford, CA

In his D9 chart he also has the sign of Aquarius in the 7th house. Again, the ruler is Saturn and it's places in Sagittarius, Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra. Let's also look at his Ketu in the D1 chart, it's in Krittika Nakshatra and let's also look at his Darakaraka planet which is the Moon and in the D9 chart his Moon is in Swati Nakshatra.

Now we got Uttara Ashadha, Krittika and Swati.

Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra Hindi letters:

भे भो जा जी

Sounds: Be (bhe) Bo (bho) Ja Ji

Krittika Nakshatra Letters (we already discussed above)

Sounds: A (ah) I (ee) U (oo) E (ai)

Swati Nakshatra Letters:

रू रे रो ता

Sounds: Ru (roo) Re Ro Ta

As everyone knows he's married to Hailey and Hailey's full name before getting married was Hailey (E sound) Rhode (Ro sound) Baldwin (Bo sound). The Bo sound in Baldwin is very subtle in the pronunciation. Like I already mentioned in the previous post, you need to give it some room when comparing these sounds in Hindi with the sounds in names from different foreign languages.

Example 3 Amitabh Bachchan

His Birthdate is October 11th, 1942 at 3:00 pm in Allahabad (IN)

In his D9 chart his 7th house is in the sign of Scorpio, Mars is the ruler and is placed in Cancer, Ashlesha Nakshatra.

The Hindi letters for Ashlesha Nakshatra are:

डी डू डे डो

Sounds: Di (dee) Du (doo) De Do

His wife's full name before she got married to him was Jaya Bhaduri (Du sound).

These were just some of the examples I gave. 95% of the celebrities who I've looked up their charts and applied this method was accurate. I have also applied this method on both my parents and relatives and it has always worked. I really hope I was able to demonstrate this in a comprehensive way for you guys.

Thanks for reading🌺

Navigation Masterlist

[Name] was an enigma to Cale’s group. They know that she’s not from their world. Know that she can predict the future to a certain extent. However, beyond that information, they don’t know much about the transmigrator. 

They barely know anything personal about [Name].

Which is a bit unfair if one thinks about it deeply. [Name] knows everyone like the back of her hand, but they don’t even know if the name she has given her is her real one.

But it doesn’t matter much. Cale’s group is not one to pry information that could possibly be sensitive out of a comrade. They all have their secrets after all, maybe [Name] was uncomfortable talking about her previous life.

Well, that was until Rosalyn saw her crying one day.

It was a normal day, a good one even. For the first time in a while, there’s absolutely nothing to do. Even Rosalyn’s research has been put on hold. And so she decided to find [Name] so they could try to newly opened cafe in town, and have a girl’s day.

“[Name] are you busy–”

The mage stopped in her tracks as she heard the transmigrator sob from the other side of the door. [Name]’s cries were quiet but it caused a loud concern to ring in Rosalyn’s heart.

“Why are you crying? Did something happen?”

Rosalyn opened the door, panic spread through her body as [Name] is known to never cry.

“Ro-rosa..?”

[Name] looked up as the door opened. Her knees touched her chest, her head resting on top of it. Tear stains could be seen on her clothes, it looked like she had been crying for a while now.

“I’m fine, don’t worry nothing happened.”

She reassured Rosalyn as she wiped her eyes with her sleeves. Her voice was wobbly, not helping her case and certainly not making the ex-royal believe her.

Rosalyn took [Name]’s hands on her left hand and wiped the transmigrator’s tears with the handkerchief she bought with her right hand. Concern is etched on her face as she gives [Name]’s hands comforting strokes.

“Tell this unnie what’s wrong.”

Both have forgotten about the door being wide open. Making everyone, the three kids and Lock, hear everything they are talking about.

“It’s a silly thing… I just realized it’s been so long since I saw my husband…”

Rosalyn fought the urge to overreact at the news that one of her friends had a husband she didn’t know about.

“From your previous world?”

“...Yeah, it’s been so long since I saw him. It doesn’t help that when I last saw him it looked like he was going on a very dangerous mission.”

[Name] was crestfallen as she spoke. It was clear just how much she missed him.

“My children too, I only saw my twins for a short while!”

The whiplash Rosalyn is getting from these shocking pieces of information is too much.

Good thing another redhead arrived to save the day.

“Why are you four hiding over there?”

Cale asked the four children and only then did the two women realise how the door was open. Rosalyn shot [Name] an apologetic look. She didn’t mean for her personal life to be broadcasted like that.

“No need to be sorry, it wasn’t really a secret. There wasn’t just a chance to bring it up.”

[Name] assured the mage as she gestured over to the five outside her door. Beckoning them to go inside.

As Cale and the children walked towards the transmigrator, they updated Cale as to what they heard.

“So you had a husband before coming here?”

“Yes, my husband Sylus… I didn’t even get his limited card before I could… huek!”

The transmigrator teared up once more and every one pitied her despite their confusion. Just what card is she talking about? Maybe it’s an earth thing they don’t know about.

“[Name]-nim are you talking about a credit card?”

Choi Han peeked from outside. He was just passing by when he heard the children updating Cae about his fellow transmigrator’s life.

“Huh? Oh no, I mean he did have a black card but that’s not what I’m talking about.”

Now Choi Han was part of the confused crowd. If she didn’t mean a savings card what could she be talking about then?

Meanwhile, in the corner of the room, Cale squinted his eyes. That man knows for a fact that [Name] hasn’t even had her first kiss yet. What are all these lies about a husband? 

…Plus the name she said sounded very familiar.

“Could you tell us more about him?”

“Yeah tell us please nya!”

Raon and Hong encouraged [Name] to talk more, interested in the slightest information about their mysterious friend’s personal life.

“Well, his very tall. Around 187cm I think? He kind of looks like a vampire with his white hair and red eyes. I can confidently say that his one of the most handsome guys out there.”

Everyone became even more intrigued. Just how great was this husband of hers? [Name] sounded very in love with him. He also sounded well-off based on Choi Han’s explanation of how a black card is like the equivalent of a golden plaque.

“Oh, he also has this thing called Evol. Basically he has powers, his power in particular is controlling energy. His super strong, he can even heal wounds.”

From the corner of the room, Cale suppressed a sigh as he placed the pieces together. Instead, he opted to silently facepalm.

The conversation about [Name]’s supposed “husband” lasted for a few more minutes before everyone filed out of her room. Leaving only her and Cale behind.

“What was your affinity level before you got here?”

“Affinity 60… But omg, you play love and deespace too!?”

[Name] looked at the redhead man who was finally letting out that deep, imparted sigh he had been holding in since earlier.

“No, I just saw forum leaks about your husband Sylus.”

“Ohhhh, I was wondering how you knew when he was barely out when I transmigrated…”

An awkward silence lingered around the two. Both of them don’t know how to proceed with the new information. In fact, [Name] didn’t know that game existed on Cale’s earth.

Wait was it possible that they were from the same earth?

But he had powers…

[Name] decided to not think about it.

“Next time, refrain from speaking about your fictional husbands as if they’re real… I think you nearly gave Rosalyn a heart attack?”

“Wait really!?”

[Name] looked at Cale who was on his way to go back to his room. She didn’t know the repercussions of casually speaking about her otome game. The redhead only looked at her as if she was a lost cause. 

“Yes, really.“

incase you were curious about the roulette lol dont mind me using the jp names im just more used to that

★ The ROs ★

Adrian/Ariana Ocean ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 28 ★

Your boss, and also your spouse, the most sought-after star in the entertainment industry. With a reputation as spotty as one would expect with someone at the top. However, with the news of your marriage, people seem to be seeing them in a new light; something that they’ve been wanting for a very long time. Let’s hope it’ll last.

Blake Turner ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 28 ★

A Hollywood starlet that’s coming off their recent Oscar win; who also happens to be your ex from college. An ex that dumped you when they dropped out of college to become a star. A story that you never truly got to hear the entirety of. And suddenly, just like that, they’re back in your life with the same smirk from before. The one that made you fall in love with them, to begin with.

Liam/Leah Shaw ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 29 ★

Your newly assigned bodyguard, you still have to get used to that, who is supposed to protect you whenever your spouse can’t be with you. You just weren’t expecting them to start affecting you the way that they have. Their warm smile is like a beacon in this unfamiliar world.

Isaac/Isabel Carnell ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 27 ★

The photographer who is tasked with taking lovely shots of the newly wed couple. One of the only people, besides management, that actually knows what the hell is actually going on. Their general cheerfulness does wonders to lighten your spirits. Not to mention the pictures they take are absolutely divine.

Carson/Cara Madden ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 33 ★

The lawyer that is making sure everything goes smoothly; while also trying to not get gray hairs throughout. An aloof individual that only cracks a smile around a select few people. However, they’re good at their job and that’s what should matter most to you. Even though you sort of wish they’d smile at you. At least just once.

[midnightsun-if]

Not sure if this was asked yet, or if it’s something we find out in game. But what are the ROs previous romantic histories? Were some of them one-night-stand fans? Serial monogamists? Anti-relationships? I just love getting back stories on all my MCs future spouses 🖤

It’ll be something you find out more in game, so I don’t want to get into too much detail, as there will be spoilers if I do. 😅

Two that (mostly) everyone is aware of:

Scarlett: Her ex has been someone that people wish to kneecap — something that I don’t typically endorse, but in this case? It’s more than warranted. Other than that? She doesn’t truly have any romantic experience.

Cyrus/Cyra: Ash is a pretty big one — given that they’re Cy’s fiancee, but I wouldn’t call their relationship “romantic”.

Barring that?

Koda isn’t super experienced but he’s had a couple serious relationships in the past. All of them, for the most part, ending amicably.

Quinn has some experience, with one being the most serious among them, but they don’t really like looking back on that particular relationship.

Caden doesn’t truly do relationships — not because they don’t want them… They just assume no one would want them; so they’d pretty much a kipping to the inevitable end.

Sloane doesn’t talk about it. Ever. (You’ll just have to find out from them.)

Blake has absolutely no experience with romantic relationships — there was a “might have been” in their past, but that’s about it.

R is the type to all hard and fast and it’s definitely bit them in the ass a time or two.

[ang3lwithapen]

What has the ROs past dating life been like?

A has dated one (1) person and it was their ex spouse (who is now dead). It was more of a marriage of convenience, though.

R is the sibling with the most romantic experience. While the rumours about their love life tend to be exaggerated, they have had a few lovers and one-night stands, although nothing that could have ever led to an official relationship. They’re passionate and don’t really care that much about noble customs. If they like someone they will make a move. (Unless that someone is working for them…. Maybe).

S has never had any kind of relationship or crush. They’re a bit socially awkward and inexperienced, and they’re not very into ballrooms or social gatherings. They’re curious about what love/passion for another person feel like, deep down.

H has also had no experience of any kind. They’ve been in the manor since they were a child.

[harlequinoccult]

How would the slsq ROs in relationship react if MC accidentally introduces them as their husband/wife/spouse to someone without actually realizing?

Elysium: Latches on to it immediately. Why yes he is your beloved spouse, now, they don't expect an immediate proposal after that but he will unflinchingly refer to himself as your husband in any conversation

Black Dahlia: brain stops working. exe as encountered an error. she won't say anything about it but she is now paying close attention to how you refer to her in conversations.

Overdose: teases you about it but their face is also red from blushing so who's really the clown here. they pretend they're calling you their spouse back ironically but they're too giddy about it for it to be ironic

Cold: does a double take for a second but rolls with it. gives you a knowing look afterwards. A conversation for later is to be had.

Sweetheart: His name might as well be husband now because that is all he wants you to call him now. restraining from proposing to you on the spot tbh.

The Host: Brain short circuits for a hot second as they stare at you slack jawed before they regain composure. poorly. they hurry the conversation along so they can ask you if you really mean it.

[backstage-if]

please, share with us your post-divorce headcanons about the RO’s 🙏🏽🙏🏽 The people (me) live for the angst

Typical recently divorced look | Joy, Neil

Physically the same | C, Spencer

Post-divorce glow | A

It changes on whether they have kids, who initiated it, if there were any affairs (please don't cheat on my babies), but let's go with a simple scenario where the MC is the one who filled for divorce, no cheating, simply done with the marriage 👇👇👇

C — Again?! They would be embarassed for giving it a second chance no matter how many years they've spent together, and initially just their parents (after a few 'where are you two going to visit? why haven't MC answered my calls?') and (really) close friends know. C is a hopeless romantic and they had that "we found our way back to each other, we're meant to be" mind about the MC. So frustated about the situation. Acts indifferent towards their ex-spouse, but they feel... lost. They didn't saw an ending coming, but they understand that now there's no way back and would be really pissed if MC asked for one.

Neil — Feels torn inside, thinks he is hiding it just fine but actually looks like a mess to everyone else. Saw it coming, but believed the relationship could still be saved. Wouldn't ask to get back together, but would be willing to accept even if their "back together" is actually the "one last mistake with my ex before i move on" for MC (but he feels pathetic afterwards). Would throw himself at every other aspect of his life after the initial glooming — Work? Enters classes, writes during the night, start three new projects. (If they have) Kids? He already was an involved father and now he is 2x. Same with friends and his siblings. Can't be sad if you don't have time to think about it 😌

Joy — She is shocked at first, can't really articulate anything to say. I think she runs away afterwards and goes to her parents or a close friend's house and simply cries for a while. Has a good cry maybe for the first few days. Says she is fine being just friends if that's what MC wants and doesn't distance herself (she should), acts like it's all fine (it isn't) and even jokes about the situation (laughing through the pain). A part of her still thinks they could work again, and she gives herself false hope for a while.

Spencer — Made peace with that during their marriage, actually. Spencer felt like something shifted between them and was expecting the end for a few months by the time it comes. Every day was a little, like, 'was that our last kiss? is it too late for us to create happy memories?' for them. Nostalgic for something that hadn't ended yet. I guess they tried to save the relationship at the start (planning better dates, being their best self), but ended up frustated when it didn't work and made it worse. Yeah. Spencer is the RO who takes the divorce better.

A — Some days sad, but mostly spiteful. Once they hear the word 'divorce', it's over for good. Maybe there's a short lived argument between them. Either MC leaves their home, or A does, but they're not spending another second together after A says what they need to. Tells MC that anything they might have to discuss further can be said directly to A's lawyers. Blocks MC everywhere — unless they have kids, then they answer only the necessary and tries to put on a good front for the kids' sake. Wouldn't come back together, wouldn't want to be friends.

[coeluvr]

Hey, I've been thinking about something and I'm wondering if it's too spoilery to ask or not.

It's a more general question so it wouldn't necessarily be about MC, but it's about people's reactions to stuff related to a situation like MC's in.

You explained before how it's not that uncommon for people to have other relationships in marriages like that one, but also that being in a relationship with the king's consort would still raise some eyebrows and some people would really see it as pretty awful in general and not a good thing for the involved individuals' reputation.

But you also said in some instances, depending on choices, we'd be able to not be the consort anymore - well, not to Luceris. And that got me thinking... what do people tend to think if something like that happens? Like the consort has a relationship with someone, but then suddenly they are NOT the consort anymore, and marry that other person they had a relationship with prior. Because well, they were obviously loyal to that person since the start and married THEM as soon as possible.

Does that make things better for some? Worse? Did that even happen before?

Don't worry if it's too spoilery though! Since it's hard to tell from a player's PoV, I thought there is no harm in asking, but I can't know if it's something that will be shown in game or not!

Still, thank you for taking the time to read this!

Hi! 👋 You always send me interesting questions, it's nice to know someone thinks about this story haha

In most royal scenarios, it's common for royalty to have one official spouse and a couple of lovers. However, when it comes to THE Consort, they must obtain both the Emperor's permission and approval to engage in romantic relationships with others.

There is sort of a criteria for the lovers but what really matters in regards to MC is that the lover cannot be someone of importance.

For example, they can be the 3rd child of a Duke but not the 1st. Furthermore, they can't be a royal, unless their status is really low, such as being the eighth child of a ruler.

Essentially their status has to be so low or insignificant that becoming the lover of the Consort is the highest title they have. Their identity has to be just the lover of the consort and nothing else.

Now that that's out of the way, you can see how none of the ROs qualify to be an official Luceris-Approved lover to MC which is why their relationship, if it goes public, would be classified as an affair and cheating which leads to a scandal. That is why there are eyebrows raised and such, if it was approved then people wouldn't care that much.

The public wouldn't care if the Consort wasn't the Consort anymore and married someone else because they would be stripped of their title and privileges and would live as a regular citizen. The public would probably rejoice if this happens to MC lol.

Since the lover would be equally unimportant as the now ex-Consort, they can marry and do what their heart desires. For MC though, they can marry but never have children because their eyes would be passed down and we can't have peasant-but-royal-eyes kids running around town.

Honestly, it hasn't happened before (I'm talking about a Consort that willingly left the Crown and married their lover) because people don't want to downgrade in terms of lifestyle. It's a win win to them if they can just have lovers while also be someone important and live a lavish life.

I hope I answered your questions, if I said bs and didn't answer what you actually wanted then just send me another ask! 🫶

[barbwritesstuff]

just out of curiosity, is the divorced MC ex-spouse an RO option? (here for the pathetic meow meow scenes either way haha)

Maybe. Kinda. Sorta.

I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing, to be perfectly honest. I think you may be able to unlock some moments with Chris later on, if you make all the right choices, but I'm not planning a full romantic route at this stage.

I hope that's okay.

[thedoover-if]

Ready for my mc to yell at ex ro "Your mother should have swallowed!"

...the ex's mum would so giggle...

[dishonestlies-if]

I have questions I don't know if they've been asked before. So pardon me if they have if this is a dumb question.

I was reading through the game description and it days our ex spouse is the great nephew of some important person so I'm assuming they were male... right?

but then also we can choose our gender. So if I choose to play a male character. How did our daughter come to be? Unless i got that all wrong. Or is there magic involved with same sex couples having kids?

And on that topic how do the ROs react to an MC that is the same gender. Are any of them conflicted or is it a happy love all vibe in the kingdom especially among nobility?

I. How did I not notice this. What is wrong with me I'm gonna lose my mind-

Thank you for pointing out the thing with Alix! (Dis)honest Lies started out as a small project for myself and a few friends so originally the MC was set as female, and therefore Alix was set as male, seems I forgot to change their description after I decided to make it a public game. I'll fix that right away!!! (On that note, what's the gender neutral form of niece/nephew? Nibling? Nephling?)

As for the ROs:

M really doesn't care. So long as they like you for you, they're not letting anyone get in the way of your relationship, least of all some homophobic old fogies who can barely manage their own failing marriages. In any case, among the lower class nobody really cares all that much - most are too busy trying to feed themselves and their families to gossip about who's courting who; your worth and status is based on what you contribute to the community, not who you choose to spend your life with.

Legacy is an immigrant from another kingdom where such relationships are much more accepted among the upper class and monarchy, so they just embrace it with open arms (assuming, of course, they can first get over all the other things keeping them from seeking happiness for themselves). In fact, they find it funny how enraged the few disapproving members of the Court get over what Legacy deems to be a trivial matter, so once they're romanced they take great delight in courting you in front of the homophobes just so they can watch them fume, unable to actually say anything (because that's the monarch and their lover, what are they gonna do about it?). E is 100% down for it. They are actively pursuing your heart (good luck trying to evade them lol), and they will not let anything stand in their way. After all, MC is the monarch, and they are an Advisor, with the backing of the House of Alinac. Realistically, only the other Advisors could lay a hand on them, and that could spark a rather nasty conflict in the Court, which they know all the Families are actively trying to avoid. Consequences be damned, they'll get what they want - they always do. E is untouchable, and they know it; what, then, is the point in fearing Court gossip? The lower nobility can say nothing to them, at least not without repercussion. O is already hesitant to pursue the monarch, even moreso if they are the same gender. O worries about the monarch's image - they know gossip in the Court is rarely forgiving, and for the monarch to court an Advisor (unheard of in the kingdom's history), well, that would certainly spark rumours of favouritism among the Families. While likely not enough to spark the other Families into direct action on its own, it would definitely make them more difficult to deal with - not ideal for the nation. They can only imagine what the rumours would be like if the monarch's lover were to be the same gender - and the Advisor from the House of Hildebrand, at least, strongly disapproves of such unions. O would prefer to spare MC (and Batrinoa as a whole) all the trouble and simply reject any romantic advances (even if they dream of taking MCs hands in theirs).

C, on the other hand, was raised in a rather homophobic household. It was really just their father Volker who drilled into the minds of his children that same-gender partners are wrong and unnatural and will be nothing more than a hindrance in war (soldiers are generally grouped into divisions by gender, and it is his belief that if a soldier was attracted to the same gender, it would make all members of their division a possible distraction on the battlefield). Though C (and none of their siblings really, except maybe their eldest brother, the family heir) took to these teachings, C is still hesitant about pursuing MC if they're the same gender - the internalized homophobia still hits hard even after all these years, and in any case they're not so sure MC would reciprocate (at least in the beginning). Give them some time to sort things out, the wait will be worth it.

Deep in T's revenge route will Mc never find love with anyone? Because getting together with someone else after breaking T's heart as if to say "You never meant anything to me at all" sounds sweet. And it's kinda sad that only the Mc's in this route never get love even tho I think its kida fair.

If we can't, in the deep revenge route is there any possibility that we can at least end up with someone else as a main lover and T as the side piece? (Not in a cheating way, more like T's never first option for Mc) Bc I wanna make T suffer with the same poison they wanted Mc to have, wich means that they can be with Mc but by being no more than a bedwarmer on the side never the main lover for Mc. Like a plan B of sorts.

"If you want my attention you can have it... If you beg enought on your knees I might give it as a pity prize" <- That's the only tipe of "love" or "affection" | want my Mc to have for them (As you can see T is my favorite Ro haha)

Does Mc gets so deep in their revenge that they can't love anyone else while in T's route? Or does the Ro's simply wouldn't accept Mc's plans if it meant getting intimate with T for it to work? In the other Ro's routes would we still be able to get our revenge on T?

Hey. How are ya? I hope all is well.

So before getting deep into this ask let me just clarify something. As you can all see we have two different revenge routes. And each route will be different. For the hard core revenge route MC is unhinged. They're adamant on taking revenge on the "ones" who murdered the OH in cold blood. MC would stoop to the lowest of the lowest just to destroy these people lives. And their first act of revenge is having a secret illicit affair with the ex of the original host. For this route Trysten/Trista will be like a hedgehog. The feelings they locked away all those years ago will resurface and deepen even more. This route will cause alot of problems for the imperial family and the OH father's family as well. (Let violence Rain/Reign!!! 😈😈)

The soft core option is the one where MC doesn't really give much thought to Trysten/Trista's existence. This route is a mixture of indifference and confusion. MC knows that they shouldn't fall for them yet they can't stop themself from seeking them out when they enter a room. While on the other hand MC wants to punch the daylight out of them. So for the soft core route there will be two options as well. Indifference/throttle to death or turn a blind eye to everything Trysten/Trista did to the OH. For this route Trysten/Trista pigish ways will be on full display. (Hope I didn't confuse you.)

Alright so on to the ask.

If the MC choose the hard core revenge route they'll be automatically locked out of the other ROs route. The ROs wouldn't be comfortable knowing that their spouse is using their body to enact revenge. The ROs wouldn't accept the MC having a "side piece" with them. MC is better than that, why would they stoop to trysten/Trista level? That's would be the first question they would ask. So that is a no but for the soft core there will be a bit of redemption for the MC's love life.

Most certainly. Even if the MC has no entanglement with the slangman/woman Trysten will still sway infront of them. They won't be able to accept that the MC feelings for them has died and that the MC wishes to live a good life without them.

Also getting intimate isn't the only way one can enact revenge from this slag. The royal family has alot of secrets. Grabbing the Montholon family's handle will be the best revenge.... but I would advise be careful.....

Remember Trysten/Trista is hated by the other ROs. Emphasis on the hate when it comes on to Nyssa/Nyala. 😏. The MC doesn't have to use their hands to get revenge they can always leave the hard work to Cadmus, Atticus and Nyssa/Nyala..... but hey that's food for thought. Right?

**********

Thank you for the ask and have a wonderful day. See ya! 😋

Five years of begging…

You were gone— vanished into thin air on your way home from work— and no one ever found you. Ripped away from your friends, from your family, from your life.

Everything had been torn away from you in one of the cruelest ways possible. At times you weren’t sure if you’d ever see the sun again in all its glory. Feel the wind caress your face as sweat dampened your brow.

That is until the hours you spent hoping actually meant something; you were able to escape. Able to feel the blades of grass, the small rocks beneath, digging into your palms; the sun beating down on your back as you scramble away from your own personal hell.

You just weren’t prepared for how much things had changed. How the world had truly kept spinning with your absence; the people you love continuing to go on.

It wasn’t a matter of survival anymore… it was a matter of finding your place in a world you had been torn from.

A world that you didn’t know if you’d ever fit in again.

Customizable MC: name, appearance, sexuality, gender, vices, and a smattering of other things. (Semi-Set personality when it comes to some things.)

RO APPEARANCES // CHARACTER PLAYLISTS

Kade/Kara Lewis [M/F] - The Ex

32 [6’1” | Hazel Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]

They thought you were dead… that’s all that you can think to rationalize the stinging feeling of betrayal working its way through your chest. Seeing your spouse, your former spouse, with someone else like a lance through your heart. Hazel eyes, dark brown hair, and a gentle smile, with a tad hint of weariness, were a welcome sight to see. The connection still there… even after all this time.

“I thought you were dead! I mourned you! I grieved for you! You can’t come back after five years and act like nothing has changed for me! That’s not fair.”

Michael/Margot Steele [M/F] - The Rival

32 [6’5” | Azure Blue Eyes | Raven Black Hair]

You had known them since kindergarten when you had gotten into your first (of many) fights. It was a rivalry, a feud, that stood the test of time as elementary, then junior turned to high school went by. Hell you even found a way to bicker as you both went to the university within your small town. If there was one thing you could count on it was having a biting retort tossed your way. You should have expected that nothing would have remained the same.

“I wasn’t jealous that you got them! I was jealous that they got you! Don’t you understand that? Can’t you see that it’s always been you? That it’s never been anyone else!?”

Blaine/Blaire Ellis [M/F] - The Best Friend

32 [5’7” | Light Brown Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]

A constant source of warmth and gentle protection from the time you both could walk to the time you both first got braces. You’ve never done anything without them and the longest you had been a part was three days when you got a mild case of the flu back in seventh grade. Seeing them now? After all this time? All those feelings come rushing back but there may be a few added to the list now.

“I missed you so much. You have no idea how much I refused to believe that you were gone. That I had actually lost you because I never thought you’d ever do anything without me. I wish I could have been there to protect you.”

Wren/Wynn Cassidy [M/F] - The Investigator

33 [5’11” | Dark Brown Eyes | Dark Brown/Black Hair]

The newest addition to your small town of Aurora; the lead investigator on your case from the FBI. A person that keeps their cards close to their chest and always puts their duty above anything else. They’ve come to Aurora to finally put your case to bed—and all the ones that came before— and they need your help to do so. As you’re the only survivor to ever escape from the madman’s clutches. You just need to figure out why you were allowed to live— Special Agent Cassidy might be the just the person to help with that.

“I’ll protect you, I promise, I won’t let anything happen to you ever again. Not as long as I’m breathing. You’ll always have a place by my side if you’re willing to stand there.”

Nicholas/Natalie Paxton [M/F] - The Suspect

32 [5’9” | Steel Gray Eyes | Ash Brown Hair]

A person that you’ve known almost your entire life but haven’t ever truly interacted with; until now, that is. Where you’re staring into their soulful gray eyes as they’re being questioned. You knew that they couldn’t actually see you but you still felt like there was something passing between you both— especially when you know that they weren’t involved. Your belief, your faith in them, proves to be something they were never expecting and they’re gratitude showcases in them trying to help you. Can you shake the feeling that they’re hiding more than they seem to show?

“Thank you for believing me. I-I’ve never really had anyone in my life do that before. Look me in the eye and I say I trust you, I see you, it’s a nice feeling to have. To be accepted for what I am. Thank you. I’ll try to earn the trust you’ve placed in me.”

“Oh, my little dove, how you amuse me so. I can’t wait until we’re able to see one another again.”

55 [6’1” | Jade Green Eyes | Black Hair]

Eliza - The Mother

54 [5’8” | Light Brown Eyes | Dark Golden Brown Hair]

“I’m glad that you’re okay. Or, you know, as okay as one can be in this situation. I know you may not want to hear this from me, which I can understand, but welcome home.”

Blake Turner (M/F): A Hollywood starlet that’s coming off their recent Oscar win; who also happens to be your ex from college. An ex that dumped you when they dropped out of college to become a star.

The one that made you fall in love with them to begin with.

Liam/Leah Shaw (M/F): Your newly assigned bodyguard, you still have to get used to that, that is supposed to protect you whenever your spouse can’t be with you.

Isaac/Isabel Carnell (M/F): The photographer that is tasked with taking lovely shots of the newly wed couple.

An aloof individual that only cracks a smile around a select few people. However, they’re good at their job and that’s what should matter most to you. Even though you sort of wish they’d smile at you. At least just once.

Will that dream change?

[arcadia-city-stories-if]

TELL ABOUT THE OTHER IF (please💕)

Gonna answer all these in a one while shovelling my lunch so please excuse typos lol

Under the cut for rambling reasons

Ok so, there's two big differences for me. The main difference number one - the stakes.

Arcadia has been a concept I have been obsessed with for over a year, it's been the thing on my mind that whole time, I know what I want to do for at least 4 books and it takes up the whole of my heart and brain on any given day of the week.

This new one - I came up with on the bus ride to work. Lol.

Difference number two - the demo

The demo for Arcadia (beautiful bane of my life that it is) is very very important for setting up things that will be relevant for a slew of reasons, every single decision makes a difference to the base of the MC's character and incidents and flavour text that will be throughout the whole rest of the book, and I plan to release it as perfect as I can make it so that I don't have to break anyone's saves when I update the chapter after it because I'm afraid y'all wouldn't read it twice lol.

The demo for the new IF would literally be an exercise for me to keep writing little inconsequential bits and pieces and still practice coding with very low stakes involved, and could literally update it in chunks rather than setting lofty goals for myself because I have no self-imposed impossible standards to meet on this one lol.

Now about the other IF!

MC would be a film star at the top of their game, 24, happily married to a renowned musician, successful, media darling, etc etc. But behind the scenes is another matter, within the first year of your marriage you walked in on your spouse naked in bed with their ex, who then went on to sell their story to the tabloids and ever since then your life has been in a constant state of damage control while everyone in your camp tries to work out how you're both going to get through this without destroying both of your careers.

This whole idea came to fruition because the guy I'm working for has celebrity news streaming on the telly in the kitchen all day and y'all, the things I have learnt lol, but there's also a lot of stuff that'd be fun to play with. You're an actor so I'd get to write little scenes that are basically prompts because you're acting and I'd get to deal with some spicier scenes earlier in the game if you chose to play it that way cos celebrities are messy as fuck apparently lol.

Right now I'm thinking there'd be 4 or 5 ROs, the spouse, your childhood friend turned pa, your repeated love interest co-star that people have been publicly shipping you with (think Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain, emma stone and gosling, lady gaga and that other guy etc), the behind the scenes person who just works there man, and your new bodyguard hired by the studio because of security concerns.

But again, most of this is stream of consciousness stuff that might not come to anything. I just really don't want my progress with coding to backslide, you know? It's been really hard to get my head around and I finally feel like I'm getting a grasp for it and I don't wanna lose that, but I also don't want to taint my main story with subpar effort just because I'm tired lol you know? Of all the reasons I could screw this up, that one would suck so hard lol
