those of you who have followed me for a while may have noticed that i took quite an extended absence from tumblr and i've been a bit cagey about why that is. i have been trying to be more thoughtful about the parts of myself i share with strangers on the internet, mostly as a way to guard against people who aren't very nice.

all of that being said, i've just finished my entry for the neo-twiny jam and i think the reason will be pretty obvious for everyone who plays it: i had a baby! (congratulations to me etc etc).

coming in at 494 words, this project has been a really cathartic opportunity to reflect concisely on one of the best and hardest things i've ever done.

with that, i hope you enjoy nine months out.

the riddle of the river

Aurelian is the king who betrayed right? That is probably the most red flag romance I've ever seen (but who doesn't love angst).

Yup! Out of the two characters with red flags in my writing, the romance involving Aurelian is the one that promises the most angst, so brace yourself for an emotional rollercoaster.

Chapter 1 progress

writing: about 30% (I have everything planned out on my notes, how it goes, how it ends, etc…I just need to write it all down ✍️)

coding: 10% too many variables and we are only on chapter one—

editing: 0% I’m already stressing about it…

although today was not a productive writing day, I'm happy to report that the prologue is mostly completed on Twine.

BUT my plan is to release the Twine version along with chapter one altogether.

I'm optimistic that tomorrow will be a better day for writing. :)

Looks cool, but what do you mean redemption? From what I can tell the Mc was betrayed by his king and comrades through no fault of his own. Do you mean redeeming the order or something like that?

You're right. The term "redemption" can refer to making up past mistakes or wrongdoing. But in the context of the story, the redemption the MC is after involves seeking justice(or other methods 👀) over the order and the betrayal they have experienced.

Maybe I could've worded it out better? What do you think? 🤔

Thank you for checking out my wip! <3

So is MC canonically human if they had to use chains to keep them alive?

You’re right, canonically, MC is a human. Also, the chains that were bound to MC were specifically designed for them. :-)

When MC and RO started a relationship or when they are close to becoming a couple.

What if our MC, which has been feeling numb for a long time. At some point in the conversation, they will fall silent, pat their own body in search of something, after which they will look into the eyes of RO and say: "Oh my God, is this a desire to live? Did you do that?". As a semi- joke.

What will be the reaction of the RO?

a bit of angst. 😔

Aurelian:

There is a moment of silence as Aurelian stares at MC, observing as they pat their own body.

The weight of his guilt begins to descend upon him, causing his heart to race. His mind races as he recollects the events that led to MC's imprisonment, vividly recalling every detail.

Aurelian collapses to his knees in front of MC, his eyes brimming with tears. His voice quivering with emotion. "I am aware that words can never atone for what I've done, but I vow to ensure that you will never have to endure agony again."

MC gazes down at Aurelian, their eyes softening. For a moment, they feel the urge to lash out, to curse and condemn him for all he's done. But as the warmth of his hands spreads through their body, a sense of affection envelops them.

Suddenly, Aurelian steps forward and pulls the MC into a tight embrace, a gesture that is both tender and passionate, signifying the deep emotions that have been simmering between them for so long.

Elara:

Elara’s eyes widen in surprise, and for a moment, she is unsure of how to respond. But then, she sees the glint of hope in MC eyes, the spark of life that she thought was lost forever. And she will do everything in her power to help MC hold onto that feeling.

Elara reaches out and gently caresses MC’s cheek, her touch tender and loving. MC looks at her with surprise, but there is a warmth in their eyes that indicates that they welcome the gesture.

“You have been through so much,” Elara’s voice soft and gentle. “But you are still here, still fighting. I will always believe in you. No matter what happens, I will be here for you, to support you and love you.”

MC feels a lump form in their throat, and for a moment, they are unable to speak. But then, they take Elara’s hand in theirs, holding it tight.

Elara smiles, leaning closer to MC. She presses her forehead against theirs, and for a moment, they are lost in each other’s eyes.

Kazuo:

The remark fell flat as the MC was taken aback by the unexpected comment.

Kazuo reacted immediately, sensing the change in MC and experiencing a surge of protective emotions towards them. He grasped their arm and drew them near, examining their eyes for any indication of distress or unease.

"I'm always here for you," Kazuo said, conveying his genuineness through his words and his touch.

As MC stared into Kazuo's eyes, they discerned their own anguish and misery mirrored in them, and they knew that he comprehended them in a way that no one else could.

With tears welling up in MC's eyes, they embraced Kazuo firmly, sensing a feeling of relief and solace in his arms. He held onto them tightly, his loyalty and protectiveness radiating as he whispered words of encouragement and support.

Aiden/Ava:

A pulled MC close, wrapping their arms around them in a tight embrace. Their heart ached at the thought of everything MC had gone through, but they knew that they had the strength to move forward.

"I didn't do anything," A whispered, holding MC even tighter. "You always had the strength to overcome, and I'm so proud of you. You're not alone in this, MC. I'm here for you, always."

MC's eyes widened at A's words, and they felt a warmth spreading through their body. They buried their face in A's neck, feeling safe and protected in their embrace. A rubbed their back gently, offering comfort and support.

When they finally pulled away, MC cupped A's face in their hands, their eyes filled with love and gratitude. "I love you," they said softly. "Thank you for being here for me, for loving me even when I couldn't love myself."

SC:

“Oh my sweet, you misunderstand. It is not I who is your desire to live, but rather, you are mine. Your love sustain me. Without you, I am a mere specter, a mere murmur in the endless abyss.”
