Me when me when people ask about my self ships

ANYWAYS!! Id love to talk about my dynamics with the girls ^_^

Ive written this twice because I had to think about how to word it

Image Sayori and MC's dynamic, ok now image it with MC being less harsh with his teasing. I try being a lot nicer to Sayori than MC is originally, up until the day where she confesses about her depression and spoiler I DON'T tell her I love her (because honesty telling someone you're in love with them as a way to cheer them up is... Not the best idea with context, got this idea from the salvation remake because it makes a great point) anyways I DO tell her how much I care which leads to a sleepover and we just chill for the day. The festival comes and goes and I nudge Sayori into going to therapy and she slowly comes to terms with her depression and the 'rain clouds'. More stuff happens and then we start dating :]

Natsuki and I click INSTANTLY, because Omg you like manga too?? TWINNNN

Anyway, we hang out a lot in and out of club. A lot of times we bring along Yuri or Sayori and just walk around town looking in stores and stuff. Natsuki is actually the one that gets me to tell Sayori I like her, she acts as a third wheel sometimes when we hang out but she doesn't mind most times (gives her a chance to tease us for being cute together)

I don't actually hang out with Yuri as much as I would like to. It was kind of awkward at first due to both of us having trouble talking to new people. After the first poem exchange however, we both realized the other was a literature nerd and talked about our favorite authors and writing styles. In present time we'll read the same book and talk about parts of it (kinda like our own book club!)

Now Monika.. My dynamic with Monika is complicated 😓 on a game level, she pretty much treats me how she treats MC except I actually don't care she's popular and talk back with a brain cell. We actually have pretty philosophical conversations about her poems.

Now on a meta level she doesn't like me much, because whenever she tries to alter the girls code it gets set back to normal (wonder who did thattt 👀) she knows I'm the MC, but its weird because I don't look like the MC's placeholder at all, and I couldn't be a NPC so she's just frustrated trying to figure out who or what I am.

Holy Yap fest that's a lot

i just wonder bc you didn't mention natsuki in your post, so i wanted to know what it take to get her to play a horror game...i think the visual novel trap of doki doki would get her lol

Ok if it's their own game, I think they'd be unsettled at most, and horrified at best (or worst I guess)

Now if it was basically their version of their game ( same plot, different characters which I think would be more plausible) They're reactions would vary

Sayori would be lured into the game because of it's aesthetic and the cute characters (same as Natsuki but WE'LL GET TO HER) then flat out need to take a few days to just digest the first death scene in game (make it a week if it's the same ways they go out too, which I'm gonna assume it is) she would really need to be coaxed into continuing the game afterward

Natsuki would, like I said, also be tricked by the dating sim half of the game. She'd like the dialogue and character designs the most and be absolutely sent for a loop after the creepy stuff starts. She would not hesitate to delete the Monika stand in unlike sayori, who would actually feel sorry for her since she was only doing it to have a chance to connect with the player :(

Yuri would be the type to try and figure out the lore of the game, and immediately clock all the symbolism in the poems. She'd appreciate the twist and contrast between the cute aesthetic vs. The heavy topics it deals with ; all while still being off put by it.

Monikas reaction kinda depends if she's self aware or not, if she is she'll clock it being a in universe version of their game. She'd sympathize with the stand in for her, and maybe the others (perhaps even realize how what she's doing is effecting the player?)

But if she isn't aware that girl is looking up stuff to get the route of a character she likes, maybe even getting a mod if she has to. She wouldn't probably get all the trophies for the game (me projecting lwk)

BACK TO NATSUKI, it would take a lot of convincing, and bribing to get her to play a horror game. You'd probably have to show her someone else playing it before she even CONSIDERS playing it herself. Even then, she might wanna watch you play instead because watching you get scared shitless from a monster is comedy gold for her sometimes (especially if the scary part hasn't even happened yet and your just paranoid from the audio/lighting or lack of)

monika caring less about the gameplay and getting mods for whatever character she likes is so real, that just feels right to me. i wonder if she'd even make some, just so she could continually write more dialogue to update her mod with (wait until she learns about self shipping lol)

+yuri going all in on the lore and hidden secrets is SO fun. i don't think monika or natsuki would care to listen to whatever she discovers, but maybe sayori would find comfort in listening to yuri's theories? it would tie up some lose ends about the game for her :>

IT WOULD MESS HER UP SO BAD I WANNA WRAP HER IN A BLANKET AND TELL HER IT'S OK NOT TO PLAY ANYMORE :(( I can imagine her and Yuri would talk about it afterward, Yuri brings up some lore and Sayori has a "wait THATS what that was?? " moment because she genuinely didn't catch it in game

Monika becoming a modder in the community? Real and lwk she would be a selfshipper but like a casual one (she's real who's to say her f/o isn't too?)

Alsooo

HOORAY

Ok I gotta lock in for a sec to think what games each of them would play

Sayori would like the classic games (Mario bros, sonic, I can definitely see her liking crash bandicoot) specific games though? She'd like puzzle games like the portal games, the sci fi theme and portal mechanic would catch her attention definitely but would need help with some of the puzzles (probably from Yuri? I can see Yuri playing this game too)

Monika, although I can't see her playing games that often due to her busy schedule, would play relaxing games. No story or lore to follow, just a chill game she doesn't have to use much brain power on. Games like unboxing, Minecraft and Stardew valley, definitely has a Stardew valley save she takes VERY seriously.

Yuri would love fantasy games, like Baldur's gate and elden Ring (I can imagine she also played dnd in middle school, dropped it, and then possibly got back into it after Sayori asked about it once) She'd love any game that could immerse her in it's world, I did say she'd like outlast too based on its lore and it's similarities to the portrait of Markov. There's also this game called in sound mind that I think she'd like a lot (it's pretty good i recommend it)

Natsuki would of course, like cutesey games (cooking mama was her GAME when she was a kid) but also I think she'd like indie horror games like FNAF (the less scary ones.. So security breach- WHO SAID THAT??NOT ME) ALSO HELLO PUPPETS OH MY GOD, she'd love how goofy they look. Like I said she'd mostly watch instead of play since she wouldn't be able to buy all these games, if she did it was probably pre owned
