I will change some things in the available pattern within the character creator: I plan to remove the spotted choice (because it's basically the same as dappled) and instead add "color point fur", which means that the extremities of the limbs, the muzzle and the tail are darker (or lighter, for the game's purpose) in color. So, with that in mind, these will be the options with visual references. Oh, also some of these patterns aren't naturally present in wolves (some of these images are of dogs), or are very rare and not so evident, I kinda imagine them much more pronounced.
SOLID COLOR FUR
This means that the fur is mainly of one color, there might be some areas that are slightly lighter or darker but only in the shades of the same primary fur color. Bela has a solid color fur.
DAPPLED/SPOTTED FUR
This means that there is a base color, and then small spots in another different color. They can be distributed in an uniform way, or concentrated in some areas.
COLOR POINT FUR
As I mentioned, this means that the fur is mainly solid color, but that the extremities of the limbs, ears, tail and muzzle are darker, or lighter. Kesha has this kind of fur pattern.
PATCHED FUR
This means that there is a base color for the fur, but on top of that some areas bear patches, bigger than spots, that are of other colors. Indigo has a patched fur.

LINK TO THE GAME. Prologue. (Around 7k words). LAST UPDATE: July 7, 2026.
Ko-Fi
After eight years in the shadows, ICARIS returns for one last flight. A farewell album. A worldwide tour. A legacy finally given its proper send-off.
Their story is told in an eight-part docuseries, Sunbound: ICARISâ Final Flightâmixing present-day footage with archival clips, livestreams, concert films, and video logs. Raw, intimate, and at times uncomfortable, itâs a look into the group that once soared together, burned to ashes together, and now rises together one last time.
Customize your Sparky. Design the groupâs âfaceâ: choose appearance, gender, sexuality, and even performance style. Will you be a playful and adorable puppy-like person or a mysterious and surly cat-like person? Were you close with your fans or were you standoffish? Were you clean or did you basically live in the tabloids?
Shape your journey. Experience the rise of ICARIS, the events that shaped their history â some moments are inevitable; there is no saving whatâs already lost. In the present timeline, however, you can navigate regrets and grief, reconnect with old friends, and influence how the reunion unfolds.
Romance across timelines. Pursue any of the five romantic options. Rekindle old flames or explore new connections.
Content warnings: realities of the industry, abusive workplaces and schedules, substance abuse, mentions/allusions to suicidal thoughts, mental illnesses, disordered eating. Possibly more.
Sparky
You were the spark that lit ICARIS, the groupâs most recognizable face â loved, hated, and dissected in equal measures. Years after ICARIS, youâre back on stage with your former members and surrounded by people from a past that seems so far now. Will this reunion bring closure, or will it reopen wounds that never fully healed?
Shin Jiwon â romantic option. Always the same gender as idol-era Sparky.
The leader. Cold, repressed, distant â Jiwon wielded their responsibility like a sword and their scripture like a shield. Words theyâd never dared speak are scattered across ICARISâ discography. Until now, they are determined to keep the ICARIS legacy alive. Burdened by regret and emotions they refuse to face, Jiwon keeps their heart locked behind walls of practiced silence and professionalism. You may have once breached past those walls, but breaking through them again will be far more challenging.
Character Introduction.
Saint Gatti â romantic option. Always the same gender as idol-era Sparky.
Talented on all fronts â a magnetic performer, an exceptional producer, and a delightful conversationalist. Sharp-witted, opinionated, and quick with a joke, Saint was one of the quiet pillars of ICARIS: the oldest member, the producer, the person everyone instinctively sought out during long, exhausting nights. They once knew you like the back of their hand, now even simple conversations are difficult. Can something that was once familiar be rebuilt?
Character Introduction.
Charismatic, cunning, and impossible to ignore â Kila is the face of your rival group, ECLYPS. Their name has always been placed beside yours: to compare, to criticize, to fuel rumors. Born into a long line of acclaimed creatives in the Philippines, they pursued fame relentlessly and eventually surpassed ICARIS in popularity after the groupâs disbandment, even their solo career thriving. Now, theyâve drifted back into your orbit as once of the documentaryâs interviewees. You no longer understand their motives â maybe never did. But beneath the sharp smile and playful cruelty, does the tenderness you once glimpsed at still remain?
Character Introduction.
Ethereal, serene, and incredibly unattainable â Valentine starred opposite you as your onscreen partner throughout ICARISâ second trilogy of music videos. Paparazzi shots, matching items of clothing, and bashful denials have made for one of the most popular love affairs in the entertainment industry â too bad it was all fabricated. Behind their carefully constructed image lies a desperation for something incredibly ordinary. With their career newly revitalized and a beloved, highly public relationship now in the spotlight, would they still be willing to risk everything for what might have been?
Character Introduction.
Quiet, distant, and carefully avoidant â Tatum was your childhood friend, the person you first dreamed big with. You were supposed to stand on stage together, side by side, taking on the world as a pair, believing in a future built on the certainty that absolutely nothing would come between the two of you. Unfortunately, a few months into training, they were cut from the lineup and sent back home. Communication had slowed over time, but every trip back home reignited your relationship. Or so you thought. Today, they want nothing to do with you⌠except in a twist of fate (and partly their doing), their ten year old niece is now a die-hard fan of ICARIS. They really should have thrown all those albums away.
Character Introduction.
Devan Tiwari
The abrasive troublemaker, always kept on a metaphorical leash. Devan was infamous for speaking their mind without restraint, even when it came at the expense of the groupâs reputation. But beneath all the noise and chaos, there is a gentle side of them most refused to acknowledge: fiercely protective of the members, and deeply committed to the safety and happiness of each one. They have stepped away from the spotlight since disbandment, choosing to spend their time managing an establishment for homeless youth.
Character Introduction.
Angel Matisse
The visual of ICARIS â the pretty face, the one plastered all over covers of magazines. Angel was often dismissed for lacking skill, but youâve seen how fiercely driven they were to improve. Publicly, they appeared icy and unreadable, the very picture of elegance and class but privately, there was warmth, humor, and unbreakable loyalty to the group. Today, they are an award-winning actor, married to their childhood best friend, and raising two children. Time has softened their edges, replacing empty confidence with quiet self-assurance, but their words remain as sharp and direct as they were years ago.
Character Introduction.
Cloud Rattanakorn
Cloud is the kind of person people often described as âcomfortableâ â never too loud, never too sharp, never too popular. The public liked them for being the steady calm in the middle of ICARISâ chaos. Accompanying that calm was an unyielding will to keep the group together. Cloud was often the one to step in, to soften the jagged edges of their members before they cut each other. Away from the spotlight, they now spend their days running their familyâs restaurant, content to stay in the quiet presence of people they know would never abandon them.
Character Introduction.
Hoshino Mitsuki
The beacon of hope, the source of laughter, the sunbeam after curtain call. Mitsuki was an amalgamation of all of the older membersâ personalities â a perfect mixture of each oneâs best traits and their most human flaws. Mitsuki had a uniquely unbreakable bond with each of the members, and the fans, acting as a constant presence of warmth and reassurance â someone to lean on just as they had leaned on others. Among both the members and the fans, they has always been one clear agreement: Mitsuki is to be remembered as the warmth they all tried to protect. Nothing less.

You were a High Servant in the Kingdom of Aureville, hand-picked by the King himself to be his attendant and personal confidant.
Everything was simply wonderful, until the fay came to foray into your kingdom, bringing with them strife and a debt unpaidâ which the people of Aureville paid with their lives, you included.
Death should have been the end. Instead, it was only the beginning.
You wake up in a cold land of unbridled magic, decadence, and wars of succession, only to find out you are an Awakened now: an undead person, a reanimated cadaver, a husk of your previous self. Not only that, but you are bound to the harem of an enigmatic monarch who seems to wish to both possess and destroy you entirely.
Death should have been the end. Instead, you were brought back to life under mysterious circumstances, bound for the rest of your immortal life to a mystical fay.
⢠Define your gender and pronouns. Choose from an array of options your own physical attributes, both as a human and as an Awakened. Were you pale as ivory and now your skin is a sickly gray? Or perhaps you had sun-touched skin, long gone in favour of a blueish tone. What of your build and height? And your eyes? The people that surround you will take note of your appearance.
⢠Define (or mix) personality traits as you see fit. Are you perceptive and strong-headed or perhaps creative and shy? It is your choice to shape it as you see fit.
⢠This Tender Darkness counts with two love interests who dabble in polyamory. You can bind your soul to only one of them or be greedy and choose the two.
⢠Explore the Empire of Pugnare, located inside the Shadow Realm, the vast world you wake up in, and participate in a war of succession between the three Fay Courts.
⢠And so much more...
AEL | NOCTRAEA VESPERINNE (m/f) is the Ruler of the Umbra Court and the one responsible for bringing you back to life, albeit imperfectly.
A sibylline individual, their eyes are unfathomable and inescrutable, and hold all the answers to your questions. Still, Ruler Vesperinne is a person of few, if any, words, with a rather intense attraction to you.
APPEARANCE: Ruler Vesperinne stands at 183cm tall, with nearly translucent powdery skin, with high cheekbones, a defined jawline, and full lips. They have silky, dark hair that seems to be moss green in broad daylight, and obscure violet eyes.
AGE: Wouldn't you like to know?
VALERIA ANGELIAM is Ruler Vesperinne's bodyguard and right-hand, a twisted parallel of the relationship you once held with your king.
A silent, overzealous presence constantly close by, almost blending in the shadows, Valeria is mute by choice but always seems to know exactly what's on your mind. In the darkness of the Umbra Court, they are just as bewildering as any fay.
APPEARANCE: Valeria stands at 169cm tall, with light brown skin that seems alight, delicate features in a heart-shaped face, and smooth, slightly down-turned lips. They have close-cropped, crimson-red hair and intelligent black eyes that shine with an unnatural glow.
AGE: I'm afraid that is also a secret.
This interactive fiction game contains mentions of death, power imbalances, unequal relationship dynamics, and explicit sexual content that may be unsuitable for some readers. Discretion is advised, and This Tender Darkness is meant for audiences in the age range of 18 or above.
18+ interactive fiction story dealing with sensitive topics like abuse, self-harm and addiction (plus future optional sexual content). Read at your own discretion.
One of the major themes for this story is identity vs. conformity. As such it is not possible to play as anything other than male or female at the start with he/him and she/her pronouns. There will be opportunities later in the story to identify as trans or non-binary and adjust your body, name and pronouns accordingly. Be warned that such changes and queer relationships will elicit a reaction from characters in the story, but don't let that stop you from being yourself.
Love is the greatest weapon of all, but its absence is not peace.
At the age of twelve, your parentsâ abuse couldnât be concealed any longer. Nowâa year laterâyouâre in a new home, still reeling from the unfairness of it all. A nasty habit that destroys delicate skin helps, but so does playing your well-loved guitar to escape a world that scares you. Exceptional talent, but an inability to fit in, you're left instilled with mistrust beneath a layer of yearning for something youâve never had. Taking a desperate approach to change your life, you sign up for Stagebound; Britain's largest singing competition.
Young and scared, you reveal something you canât take back, only to deal with the aftermath your whole career. An outstanding career as a guitarist in a band consisting of people you didn't know before the competition; people your age who will struggle alongside you as you navigate the music industry for many years. The strongest bonds break the loudest... can you really trust the people you didn't get to choose?
Consists of III acts spanning 3 chapters each.
Act I: The Stagebound competition and the aftermath spanning a year later.
Act II: The band breaking into the US market and dealing with all things Hollywood.
Act III: Reunion album and tour years down the line.
Customise your MC! From looks to personality to behaviours, make a character with a predetermined backstory your own.
Struggle with all aspects of fame, or embrace the rockstar lifestyle and shower in the attention.
Keep the peace or stir the drama! With bandmates like these things are sure to stay interesting.
Fight against the constraints of the industry. Queer or otherwise unconventional? Your path to self-expression won't be easy but no less worthwhile.
Your horrific public past haunts you. Will you fall into a rabbit-hole of vices or find healthier ways to cope?
Greylin/Greyson 'Grey' Charter [f/m]
"They told me I couldnât, so I did it twice and took pics."
Outgoing and confident, Grey doesn't allow themself to go unnoticed. They chase good times unapologetically, but remain ambitious in all their pursuits. They're charismatic despite how stubborn they tend to be, and they work hard to conceal their unpleasant tendencies. They idolise performers who dominate the sceneâwild, eccentric, impossible to ignore. Getting them on stage is easy. Getting them off, howeverâŚ
As the lead singer and you as the guitarist, you could be a powerful duoâbe it forged in friendship or rivalry. Either way, Grey can take you to the highest peaks, and the lowest valleys. The journey won't be easy, but if you make it you'd have someone that would believe in you till the end of time.
Finley Beckham-Barlowe [f/m]
"Music unlocks the soul; that's why it's called a key."
Closed-off and understated, Finley is used to getting overlooked. They fit the image of the cool bassist on stage, though the same easy-going attitude doesnât quite carry off of it. Quiet by nature, they still voice their opinions without hesitation. They're also not one to conceal their emotions intentionally, and love music that convey feelings in a raw manner. Getting them on stage is of little issue, itâs the spectacle beyond performing that leaves them weary.
As the bassist they could be the rhythm to your melody or the chain to your freedom. They can guide as easily as they obstruct, and the dynamic between you would be a constant push and pull. Finding balance won't be easy, but if established, you'd have an anchor for life.
Bem Adeleke [f/m]
"There is strength in crying and in numbers⌠so crying about maths is the epitome of strength!"
Friendly and eager, Bem sets out to win people over. They're a natural mediator functioning as the backbone of the band, yet unfamiliar with the drums, they constantly scramble to keep up with the rest of you. They live in constant movement, much like the dance music they're drawn to, rarely slowing down to think about themself. Getting them on stage is the hard part; everything after is what they live for.
As your drummer they sit at your centre without meaning to, trying to be a steady baseline without matching the tempo required. When the beat does drop however, you know who'll break their back trying to catch it. But heartbeats are tricky and synchronization can't be forced. If developed naturally, it would mean two lives equally intertwined by the pace you've set.
Irene Svetla
Pop-star phenomenon and Britain's sweetheart, Irene was a contestant on Stagebound a decade before you. Winning the competition meant skyrocketing to fame in an event that still leaves her reeling. She's your self-imposed protector and can be your greatest ally as well as your biggest obstacle.
Zakari 'Zak' Hakim
Underground artist turned mainstream as hip-hop exploded in popularity and carried overseas. He knows the industry well and bears it with a grin. Zak grants you the most freedom but the least guidance, focused solely on increasing your reach even if it means stretching you thin in the process.
Chris Feldman
Veteran from the glory days of the seventies and eighties music scene, Feldman carries the scars of a rockstar with understated pride. When music shifted and his band became obsolete he took a backseat as a producer and manager instead. Feldman knows all about the hidden corners of the industry and the danger of vices. He's there to toughen you up, and give you the reality check you didn't ask for but might have needed.
Stagebound is a WIP slice-of-life/fame IF story with optional romance. Things are liable to change, bugs are likely to occur and typos will slip through. Feedback is always appreciated. Your thoughts matter. It helps me shape this story into the best it can be!
As an author I do not use, nor support the use of generative AI. I do not consent for my work to be used to train these models (though I doubt that matters).
Infamous by @infamous-if has got my mind buzzing and me humming, so I put together this little ask meme to develop and get to know our MCs, if anyone would like to play!
These are mostly focused on things that would have been established by the start of the story, but there may still be a spoiler or two.
â MUSICÂ â
Band name: How did they and the others come up with the band name? Has the name changed since it was founded?
Albums: What are some of the albums the band has released? Are they a consistent style? What themes did they explore?

Wild card: Tell us something about your MC! Feel free to really just roll us over with an emotional steamroller and crush the souls out of our bodies, if youâd like. (Youâre also welcome to choose one of the other questions to answer!)
Seven: Do you have headcanons about their friendship and/or romantic relationship (past or future)? What do you imagine some of their best memories are? What do you think some of Sevenâs favourite things about your MC were/are?
To keep the game going, please send an ask to whoever you reblog this from (if theyâre playing)! And feel free to tag me in your answers, time permitting Iâd love to check them out. Have fun! âĄ
I cannot stop thinking of Young!Seven and MC whispering secrets to each other, daring each other to do reckless shit, comforting each other over parent drama, writing lyrics about each other before they started sharing that together, subconsciously comparing every friendship or flirtation or relationship with their private dynamic, seeking each other out on bad days, spending so much time together they know each other's smells and the sounds of the other person's steps, confessing their fears, hyping each other up, planning an entire future around the other one, etc etc I'm going to be sick.

how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)
there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you canât find any post on your own blog, itâs impossible, bluhrblub~
I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if youâre on desktop/browser and you know what youâre doing:
url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, itâs just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant
url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest firstÂ
url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isnât as perfect at finding everything, but itâs generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it âlook at my croissantâ) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it wonât necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find itâs still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order
url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case youâre taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memesÂ
url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now
url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if youâre looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc
url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if youâre looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quicklyÂ
url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I donât know why you have audio posts tagged croissant)Â
the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog!Â
caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or âcustom themeâ) enabled. a âcustom themeâ is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. Iâve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks.Â
if the person doesnât have a âcustom themeâ enabled, youâre beholden to the search bar. still, Iâve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else
if youâre on mobile, Iâm sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if youâre able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, youâll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and itâll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if thereâs no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)Â

if we post too fast, we get accused of using ai (no, you don't know how fast someone can write. you don't even know if the "too-frequent-to-be-human updates" you see are something that have long been finished and sitting in an author's drafts for god knows how long. just because it's recently posted, doesn't necessarily always mean it's recently written too. a lot of writers finish the whole thing first before they start posting it chapter by chapter).
if we take "too long to update", we get people pressuring us to "update faster" even though fanfics are our hobbies and we write for ourselves first and foremost.
if our works are grammatically correct, we get accused of using ai (some of us just love correct grammars).
if our works are not grammatically correct, we get insulted/criticized (mind you, not everybody writes in their native language. kudos to writers who write in their second, or third, or fourth language â I'm willing to bet a lot of people who criticize fanfics because of poor grammar can't even speak other languages besides english).
if our paragraphs are "too long and too detailed", we get accused of using ai.
if our paragraphs are "too short", we also get accused of using ai.
if we are autistic and we write in ways some deem "too robotic", we get accused of using ai.
some people just don't use their brains to think "ai was trained on human-made works, it was trained to look human-made. ai writes this way because the way it writes is the way real humans write â real humans whose works it was trained to mimic". instead they somehow disregard this logic and think "hmmm this work looks ai-generated. I will engage in witch hunt, be a bully and harass writers whose works I don't vibe with".
Sure it's about writing. It's a good place to grow your skills as a writer, to practice plotting and finding your voice. Sure and there are some talented authours out there.
But beyond that, Fanfiction is a love letter to the fandom in the same way fanart is. It's passionate people sharing that passion with other people. It's community and connection. It's doesn't have to be "good" to be any of those things, its a hobby, it should be fun. (Also, it's free)
"#yes if u get the ROs to like u enough theyâll be jealous" - So...đ how jealous are our beloved ROs on scale of 1 to 10 and how do they act when jealous?
Seven: a solid 8.5 đSeven isnât possessive though, and theyâre more jealous in the way of âMC is so pretty/handsome/attractive they talk to anyone and that person will fall in love with them I need them to get away from them like asapâ and seven is the type to to flaunt the relationship, they like making their relationship known.
how they act when theyâre jealous: much more touchy, PDA on a thousand, wants everyone in the room to know theyâre together so people can act accordingly, very clingy and needy actuallyâŚthey kind of turn into a puppy who needs to be taken care of
Orion: 5. When Orion gets jealous, he internalizes it and doesnât really do much about it. He knows how to push it down and act regularly because heâs just hardwired to keep his emotions at bay.
how he acts when heâs jealous: When he does show his jealousy, he is veryâŚdeceptively nice. A cool smile, you think heâs being kind to you but then he walks away and you realize he just insulted you in three different ways lol
Sebastian: 4. Sebastian rarely gets jealous because he is so kind that he sees it and is like âMC is an amazing person who wouldnât want to be with themâ and would think itâs a compliment towards MC lol he also just doesnât ever think that there could be nefarious intentions in âstealing MC awayâ because he never stops to think that peopleâŚare capable of being bad đ even though he has experience with it but yk
how he acts when heâs jealous: if he does get jealous, it will be the first time Sebastian is ever cold toward someone and with MC, heâll try to amp up his charm and try to steal MCâs attention, basically like âlook here! Look here!â
Victoria: 10. Victoria is a very jealous person but it stems a lot from her own insecurities.
how she acts when sheâs jealous: She tries to push it down and deal with it herself so MC may not even realize sheâs jealous because thatâs the kind of coping mechanism she built up with G: act indifferent or normal. She doesnât realize thatâŚpeople can talk things out and communicate haha
G: 0 or 3. think itâs pretty obvious by now that G is pretty detached from their feelings, so theyâre not a jealous person at allâŚuntil theyâre in love. Then itâs a whole new experience they donât even know how to deal with, but even then, theyâre not very jealous mostly because theyâre a pretty free person themself and understand a little flirting is harmless and fun!
how they act when theyâre jealous: if, by some specific reason, they get super jealousâŚthey will quite literally pull MC away from the person making them jealous and tell MC to keep them company and be direct that theyâre jealous lol or theyâll be funny/witty and say something like âhope ur not trying to steal them away from me are u? *wink wink*â to the person lol or something along those lines. Nothing too serious.
August: 6. August is pretty good at picking up peopleâs vibes/intentions so theyâll know if someone has their eyes on MC
how they act when theyâre jealous: they shed that whole internal/reserved act and start acting real cool. make witty digs at the other person and have the whole room laughing, basically showing MC what MC would be missing đ but âCool Augustâ would not be afraid to tell MC how theyâre feeling but theyâd also be cool enough to get MC to remember why exactly theyâre is soâŚenticing, theyâd definitely have a few people falling in love with them by the end of the night
