The Exile - Chapter Five, Part One

different viewpoints

I am back, and with something to say "welcome back" -- a Bestiary of Sinners and Saints, volume 1, now available for download right here (click!)

I am glad to have taken that break, I needed it. I still may not be as active, as I have two major exams coming up, and defense of my BA thesis, but I'll try to answer a few asks here and there, and give you all some content.

I've been working more on the chapters in this time I took away, and I'm happy to say that Chapter 2 for Sinners and Saints is going amazing so far (1/10 is done), and Chapter 1 for The Numbers Game is 1/3 done (both coding and writing).

So, stay safe, and enjoy! <3

6k Followers Raffle!!! 🎉

Wow! This is a crazy number. Thank you all so much for giving this blog a follow ❤ To celebrate, I thought we could do a raffle! 

The prizes:

A short story featuring your Romanus and a character of your choice — must be SFW, and if it’s romantic in nature it has to be with the official ROs only.

You pick one snippet in the Patreon tag, and I’ll send you the whole story!

You pick one snippet from the Ko-fi tag, and I’ll send you the entire commission!

The first winner gets the first pick of the three prizes, the second winner chooses between the two left, and the third gets the last.

Rules:

Must be following me.

Reblogs count as 2 entries — but only one reblog is valid, so please don’t spam your followers’ dashes with the post! 😄

Likes count as one entry.

On the 12th of May, I’ll put all entries in a random number generator and get the winners! Please have your messages open, so I can contact you :)

I hope this will be fun, I’ve never done anything like this. Thank you, again, for all the support, it only motivates me to work harder and pick up the pen even on days when it seems to weigh a ton.

I know I’ve been quiet regarding Book Two’s progress, but that’s only because I want to get to a specific part before I make any sort of announcements. But I hope you find comfort in knowing that I’m working on it almost every day — and the days I’m not, I’m thinking about it constantly. It won’t be very long before I invite you to step back into the world of the Rose.

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

And may you have an amazing Friday. 🌹

PLAY CHAPTER ONE HERE

Meet all of the ROs, investigate a crime scene, chase a murderer!

I wanted to post the chapter, since it's been a while -- minor things may change as I'm still applying the feedback from my amazing beta testers.

also, here's explained how to turn off the music/noises, since I have not found a way to make that an option in twine

Gosh idk who I should romance first.. and I don't think romancing them "all at once and see which one gets me a route first" will do me any good... Could I have some advice 😭😭 they're all too lovable 😭

Hmm, I'd say...

Go with Eli if you enjoy a route with a lot of pining and longing and will-they-won't-they angst.

Go with Davy if you're looking to really get swept off your feet.

Go with the Eli and Davy love triangle if you like the ideas of the individual routes and just want to complicate everything.

Go with Jean if you want something sweet and wholesome.

Go with Vic if you like a slow-burn with pain.

Go with Dr. Grey if you like an even slower burn with even more pain.

Dr. Sloan's route is a given. Everyone should romance Dr. Sloan.

Would anyone be interested in a Twitch stream Friday?

If so, what times work best for people? Would you rather see a beginner Twine/IF tutorial or more in-depth UI design/coding? (I may experiment more with writing streams in the future, but for now I think coding/tutorial focused stuff works better for streaming)

Do you ever notice yourself getting bad again…like, you know you’re not doing work that needs to be done, you know you’re not cleaning, you know you’re not taking care of yourself…you know all the things you need to do to start trying to feel better. But you just can’t. And you’re left feeling like shit bc you thought you were getting better but here we are
