hi, i just wanted to ask why did ronin and angel break up? also, love your game, i think ive replayed it around 5 times now. thanks for answering, if you do <3

i have lots of thoughts about this... i feel like to explain why they broke up u need to know why they got together:

ronin and angel got together partly out of proximity: feeling like they were the only ones that understood each other. they were also the only people in the server at that point which meant for about 2 weeks it was just them flirting.

angel felt safe with ronin bc unlike the men she's been with before, he actually respects her boundaries and genuinely cares about her (the bar is in hell). the fact that ronin's a trans guy helps, too: angel felt a sense of safety in his transness cause like he's dealt with everything that comes with growing up afab; he understands in a way that her past relationships don't, or don't care to understand. and ronin is quite the devilish gentleman. like angel says in game, being with ronin is the first time she truly felt safe with anyone.

as an additional point, i think angel feels guilty about "using" ronin in this sense and fears invalidating his masculinity; "does ronin think that i think he's not 'really a man' which is why i'm with him and feel safe with him?? because i don't think that" but i feel like that's a whole other ask haha. angel has a lot to unpack i'm ngl. anyway ronins answer to that is stop worrying your pretty little head.

ronin felt safe with angel because he was subconsciously projecting ther, his first love (who he still has a lot of unprocessed feelings about) onto angel. angel gives him the push-pull of ther, but without the heartbreak that came with them. angel is "his girl", now, someone he can focus on and care about, someone that he can be with, who acts similar enough to ther that he can almost pretend it's them. (as for a fun fact, angel's VA is ther's VA from gluttony gods!) even though angel's not and will never be.

angel and ronin's relationship was more out of necessity: it helped angel process her feelings about men (to an extent) and helped ronin get closure too. after realising this though, they realised they worked better as friends - because they were mutually using the other to cope and process feelings, even if it was mutually beneficial.

thank you for your ask! <3 i'm glad you enjoyed the game so much :3

Debaserverse Fics Chronological Order

Since all my fics are set in the same universe I figured it would be useful to make a post to clarify how they connect.

Butterfly Eater (It’s Good to Have a Friend Your Age)

Debaser (Cis or Trans version) chapters 1-9

Can I get a ticket to the gun show? (Hooking up with you feels like Russian roulette) *Only has a trans version but the cis and trans chronologies are the same

Hey! (You still like me when I’m like this)

Debaser (Cis or Trans version) chapters 10-16

Wave of Mutilation (Cis or Trans version)

Happiness is a gun warmed by your insides (guns are to dicks as shooting is to cuming) *only has a trans version

Just a reminder there are cis and trans versions of some of these, but the differences are mostly in the sex scenes. They’re all in the same timeline though, so you should be able to go from the cis version of Debaser (for example) to Can I Get A Ticket to the Gun Show (which only has a trans version) and not be confused.

WoM (by @sharpth1ng) cope sketch

Sol: *destroys the array, freeing the wildlife on Vertumna from being made fight and die against humans every Glow season and allowing Sym to live free of his programmed duty*

Elder Sol: Shame! Shaaaaame! Bad ending!

Sol: *watches their parents die, doesn’t form any real friendships, steals Vace from Nem via infidelity and is outraged when he cheats on them as well, lives their life as a soldier until they die young in their thirties*

Elder Sol: We lived a good life, didn’t we?

Me: No?????

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! This was an idea I had several months ago and having gotten the chance to work with all these amazing artists has been such an honour. Everyone did a tarot card inspired design based on the magnus archives fears and OH MY GOD they turned out so good.

Somebody actually made something close to a full decision tree map for Slay the Princess.

1. Can't wait to see how much messier this gets in a week. This doesn't even include optional or exploratory dialogue! 2. See, this is why we didn't build a timeline for you to jump into.

Made a little Scream’d Stuilly compilation from various audience videos. History will call them besties but we know better.

carpenter and faulkner compilation

Ive been thinking about the peer pressure line lately. People often take it at face value, seeing it as Stu saying he really was peer pressured by Billy.

Personally I've always taken this line as sarcasm/ a joke, but I think we can get a little more understanding about Stu's meaning from it's context in the original script, where another line has been cut:

Here when Billy talks about a motive he's not necessarily talking about his real personal reasons for doing it, he's specifically talking about the story he's going to tell in court as a defence if he's caught.

Later, after Sidney escapes she asks Stu for his motive- not in the context of his personal reasons for doing it, but in the context of what he's going to tell the cops:

So when Stu answers here he's not telling her what his personal motivations are, he's telling her the story he's going to give the police.

In the movie Billy's lines about how he's going to use his story in court is cut, but Sid's line here is barely changed; she asks Stu what he's going to tell the police and he tells her. Peer pressure.

ITS A COVER STORY.

pinned. go away also.
