I really adore your look outside oc he’s very fun and creative and fits into the world so perfectly you did an amazing job creating him!
I had a question about him since you said he likes rat baby does he intervene in the cut scene where Xaria kicks rat baby?
I'm glad! I saw your like and reblog spree and it tickled me pink. Awesome thing to wake up to after a nap! I've put a lot of thought into the lil booger and it makes me stoked whenever people love him as much as I do. I hope they'll get attached when they meet him officially in the mod and maybe even want to adopt him, they have an option to and it changes how he interacts with Sam!
And he ADORES Rat Baby. That's HIS baby when Sam needs help. He dotes on them since he likes nurturing and taking care of people as a way to show his love, especially kids younger than he is like Rat Baby and Benjamin. Friends his age aren't exempt either!
As for intervention with the kicking, unfortunately no. I try and keep Ciarán confined to his own things for the most part unless others are also included originally.
Example... Joel and Sophie joining in on Aster's space lesson, Ciarán would also join in and be enamored by it and fit perfectly.
Including him in say the kicking of Rat Baby would take away attention from that character I feel.
Like, if I included him with Tree Ben. Even if Ciarán has known the toddler for two years, it takes away from the emotional impact between him and Joel, or if I included him in Joel and Sophie's argument of food stealing, it'd be the same if I did the same with Xaria.
There are some things he should be included and some things he shouldn't, even if it would fit or make sense!
Don't worry though! He has like, four interactions with Rat Baby that're taking care of them like the baby new sibling they are.
