Omg CONGRATS ON YOUR MARRIAGE!
🔥🕺✨️You free from maidenless(gn) behavior✨️🕺🔥
Thank you!! I’m still in disbelief lol
I cannot choose so I will just dump those here, please don't feel forced to answer all and pick however many you want I'm just so terrible decisions I will combust
so for SC maybe:
💓 BEATING HEART - what gets their heart racing?
☄️ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right?
🌠 SHOOTING STAR - if they could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would they make?
🎁 PRESENT - what types of presents would they be most happy to receive? are they good at gift giving?
🌙 MOON - what is your oc's greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?
💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?
man I'm a sucker for characters like them I am taking every crumb of info you give on your blog abot them like a vacuum
I'm not feeling evil today, so I'll answer all questions that aren't too spoilery and won't include any quotes from SC, like I usually do with you guys... (But I'm not promising I won't do it again... hehe 🤭)
Lets do this!
💓 BEATING HEART - what gets their heart racing?
A delicious MC... their soul... THEIR SOUL—
jokes aside (but is it really a joke? 🤪), SC has a cute side to them. They get surprised if MC takes their flirting seriously and dominates the conversation. Oooh. 👀
☄️ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right?
Let's stick with the MC's perspective on them since anything else would be spoiler territory (🚨). In the beginning, with the knowledge that the MC had as a warrior, they thought they were a demon. However, in reality, no one had ever seen a demon before, other than in old books or in accounts of elderly scholars who had gone crazy after their experiences. As a result, their words could not be trusted. What if they were just hallucinating due to old age? Or could it be that they became insane because of their encounters with something else?
🎁 PRESENT - what types of presents would they be most happy to receive? are they good at gift giving?
I apologize to anyone who will pursue a romantic relationship with them. They try so hard, but they're the worst gift givers ever... 😔 But you know what they say, it's the thought that counts, right? 🥺They've never received gifts from anyone before, so anything they get, they'll adore. I mean, even a pair of socks. You'll see them wearing those socks all year long until they wear out. (They can be quite wholesome behind all that mischief.)
💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?
Empathy towards people other than MC. For instance, if MC helps someone in need without expecting anything in return, SC might see it as a pointless gesture. They just don't understand why MC would go out of their way to be helpful when there's nothing in it for them. It's something that SC struggles with, and even though they might say they get it, deep down, they really don't. But at the same time, they don't want MC to think badly of them, so they'll go along with it, even if they don't really believe it.
What are the ROs love languages?
Aurelian:
1- Gifts: whether you're romancing Aurelian or just having a platonic relationship with him, he will gift you lots of presents that MC loves. For instance, if they were in the market and MC showed interest in something, the next day it might be outside your door. ;)
2- Words of affirmation: this boy will compliment MC every time they are alone, "Did I ever tell you that I love your eyes?" And then sneakily proceed to kiss MC's eyes. (sneaky snake)
3- Physical touch: the thing he loves most receiving from MC is hugs. It may sound simple, but in reality, it has a big impact on him for reasons that will be revealed in the next chapters. ;)
Elara:
1- Quality time: Elara loves and treasures every single moment she spends with MC, whether they are having a quick conversation or taking a walk together. She appreciates it when MC comes to her while she's studying something new that interests her, and MC just sits somewhere close, picking up a book or just relaxing.
2- Words of affirmation: this is sweet Elara we are talking about; she absolutely loves to give MC encouragement if they feel down or actively listen to them. (😩)
Kazuo:
1- Act of service: he is ferociously loyal and always tries to help MC in any way he can. He always looks out for MC when they go hunting or finishing a task. If MC was injured in a hunt, Kazuo would go out of his way to help them and stay beside them until they get better.
2- Quality time: Kazuo appreciates any moment with MC, especially when they're training together. He loves seeing MC in their fighting mood.
3- Physical touch: Kazuo won't be too pushy or clingy with his touch. He will just hold MC if they get stuck or injured. When he is in his lycan form, he loves to gently rub his cheek against MC's cheek when MC pats him behind his ears.
Aiden/Ava:
1- Physical touch: they absolutely adore any touch from MC, whether it's holding hands while walking or snuggling with MC. They will do anything for more kisses and cuddles from MC. (Their life motto is: kisses and cuddles any free time)
2- Words of affirmation: they will make you go crazy with how much they compliment and praise you for any simple thing you do. If someone accidentally bumps into MC and they help them up, A will praise MC until they die from embarrassment.
3- Gifts: when A comes back from a job they had (stealing, lol), you bet they will always come back with something extra just for MC. "A…where did you get that from?" You looked at them suspiciously.
"…" A averted their eyes from you, looking at the floor, the wall, the ceiling—anything but you. (🥺)
SC:
1- Physical touch: they will always, I mean always, find a way to tease and seduce you in any manner they can think of. Their brain is just full of two things (MC, bed). MC might need to scold them. 😔
2- Act of service: they always find a way to help MC, but is it for their satisfaction or something else? 👀
who are you?
you’re 37.
you’re a marriage councillor.
you’re a divorcee.
quite the irony, isn’t it?
moving on…
what were you?
monday to friday, just like in any 9-5, you, my dear, took on the role of the all-knowing marriage councilor.
see, you were quite the talk of town; known for your great insight, marriage-saving advice, and whatever more descriptions people could come up with.
trust me, everything was going perfectly fine: you were on top of the world, and nothing could’ve knocked you down.
skip to: a rainy day, you were sat in your car, and all of a sudden there were blinding beams coming straight at you.
⚡️lights out⚡️
where were you?
you awoke in a bright white room, with the putrid scent of vomit hanging heavy in the air. any guesses yet?
*ding, ding, ding*
if you guessed a hospital, you are correct! if you didn’t – doesn’t matter, we’ll just pretend you did. good job.
long story short, a car rammed straight into yours. needles to say, the driver got away unscathed (as they tend to always do) and you, well you got off pretty well too – except for the concussion part.
where are you now?
right now, you’re stood in your humble bungalow – office set up in one of the few rooms, and well… you’re not exactly sure where to go next.
it seems like you’ve been granted the chance of a fresh start – ‘do-over’, if you will.
⚡️so, are you going to repeat the past or set out on a new path?
customise your mc: gender, name, personality, appearance – you name it.
choose one of three new career paths OR stick to the status quo.
romance one of three love interests.
rewrite your life.
and so much more!
‘the ex-wife/husband’ [f/m]
why did you divorce?
don’t look at me, I don’t know the ins and outs of your relationship and history. don’t worry though, it seems like they’re happy to fill in all the gaps for you – the news of your accident caused them to pack their bags, fly over, and check into a nearby hotel.
pretty clingy for someone you haven’t even exchanged two words with, in the last three years… absence makes the heart grow fonder, was it?
’the patient’ (but not really) [f/m]
and don’t even think about it! patients are off-limits, remember?
…even if the last time you saw them, roughly two years ago, their marriage was fine, and you parted ways amicably…. that would still be wrong, understood?
yadda yadda... they're no longer your patient, but think about the town. folks talk – you should know that better than anyone!
‘the bartender’ [f/m]
cliche, I know.. but even your highly praised self had a habit for the nightlife… mostly the wasting away at the bar, and ordering shot after shot bit. but let’s not get into that right now.
let’s just say: they’ve been a shoulder to lean on, whenever you unleashed the burdens accumulated during your working hours. honestly, marriage can be seriously depressing.
The poll didn't really help with you being conflicted 💀💀50 50 split. Is a thing where wherever u release the prologe that is where u will release everything else?
I know!! 😂
But thankfully, I find a solution, kind of. The prologue will be out on dashingdon and the rest will be on twine!
congrats!!! but i have to know, what’s your partner’s opinion on the ro’s??
Thank you! 💗
you could say he’s very interested in SC backstory. I didn’t even share the entire plot with him, he’s just like all of you, constantly trying to uncover more lore from me. 😂
help i just noticed the 100 post badge—
Hello hello!
I just wanted to say that I’m taking a two week break and will resume being active again afterward. The reason is that I woke up with a high fever after getting some rest, and I think it's because I overworked myself on a major project that's due in a few days. Although I won't be entirely inactive during my break, I'll share some writing updates and snippets.
I'm genuinely grateful for everyone's support and appreciate those who took the time to read my writing.
Until next time!
