A would raise a brow and gently but firmly remove the pillow from the MC’s grasp, and as the MC woke up, ask “do you really hold me in such low regard that this soft thing has managed to replace me?” 

M would be very torn between being happy and devastated, but either way they’d definitely tear up. Then they would embrace the MC as tightly as they could and promise to do their best to not stay away for that long again if they can help it.

R would be very embarrassed, but reassure that they didn’t mean to be gone for so long and, in their own painfully awkward way, attempt to comfort the MC. 

G would laugh joylessly and give the MC an affectionate kiss on the forehead, mumbling “I’m sorry” over and over again into their hair.

Q would touch the MC’s face with a sad look, then move down to the MC’s arms and grip them hard. The revelation would make them very emotional, and they would have a hard time letting the MC go again after that.

Hellooo

I have to apologise - I think I accidentally answered one of your newer asks before this one. Didn’t mean to do that ;; but I’m really thrilled that you like my story! Thank you so much :D

And all in all, I don’t think any of them would feel differently about the MC when it comes to height. 

M would likely swoon over a taller one, and find a shorter one extremely cute. Female A might secretly find a taller MC a bit swoonworthy as well, but they thoroughly enjoy someone shorter, as that makes it easier for them to assert dominance just by standing around haha.

R might feel a bit threatened if the MC was much taller, as they’re already short as is, but those feelings would vanish when they potentially grow closer to them. They’d also feel pretty good with a shorter MC; I imagine it would give them quite the confidence boost, actually ;D

G would not look at the MC any differently, though if they were extremely tall/short they would likely make some comments about it (thanks aleh-atoria aaah)

A would impatiently remind the MC why it’s called an irrational fear: because it’s irrational. Would proceed to expose the MC to their fear in question because, according to them, that’s the only real way to overcome it.

R would make fun of and tease the MC about it, but would also try to talk it over with them and, although not the best with words, would attempt to make them feel a bit better about it.

G would call it adorable and, much like A, want to expose the MC to their fear, though they would do it in a more creative way such as creating a program or something that they would force the MC to play through until they felt less scared.

M would be sympathetic towards the MC and tell them about their own irrational fears to show that it’s nothing unusual or bad, and let them know (if they have a good relationship, that is) that they are still one of the bravest people M has ever met.

Q would be curious to see the MC’s reaction to their fear, but wouldn’t actively try to get them into that kind of situation. Unless it was a bug for example; then they might show the MC one just to see their reaction. But they would apologize by rubbing their arms up and down in a comforting manner afterwards.

Hey everyone! Here comes another writing update.

I’ve completed the first romance event for Q in chapter 10 and am currently working on R’s as well as having written the beginning on chapter 11 (where the 2 secret RO’s are revealed!). When I’m done with all five, I will write the non-romance paths (aka friendship or loner ones) as well.

Something that I think I haven’t mentioned about the two secret RO’s is that, unlike the  main ones, they do not change sex depending on your preference. One of them is male and one is female. However, you can still romance both regardless of the MC’s gender.

The two secret RO’s also don’t have as much content as the 5 main ones due to story reasons, but hopefully they’ll still be enjoyable :)

So, all of the asks submitted up until the 21st have been answered. I ended up getting a couple of more asks sent in today when the event had already started; these will be answered successively when/if I find the time throughout the day, since they were sent in after the set deadline. I also can’t promise that all of them will be answered.

A would thoroughly inspect the drawings, even if the MC found them snooping through them and would proceed to offer unwanted constructive criticism on them. They’d probably also suggestively note on how the MC must have watched them a lot to be able to create the drawings.

R would be in a state of shock, but would be unable to walk away and would proceed to look through the drawings one by one. They’d be terribly flustered and self-conscious because of it, but they would also be moved in a way that I don’t think they would even understand themselves. Afterwards they’d definitely be awkward albeit nicer than usual around the MC.

G would be genuinely touched by it, and would take one of the drawings for themselves to put in a special place. They’d be especially affectionate towards the MC afterwards, though they’d pretend like they hadn’t come across the drawings.

M would try to pretend like they hadn’t seen the drawings, but would be too excited to contain themselves and would blurt out an apology to the MC, explaining how they just happened to stumble upon the drawings and loved them but didn’t mean to disrespect their privacy. Then they’d go on to say how awesome the MC’s art is and encourage them to continue.

Q would be curious about the drawings and would be engrossed by them. They’d bring a paper and a pen to the MC, trying to communicate that they want to learn how to draw as well. Then they would spend days trying to make drawings of the MC in turn.

I can see G and M teasing the MC if the drawings were really unflattering, and I could see R having a small crisis over if they actually looked like that lmao. 

“The Shadow Society” Animatic by Snanners

I never thought I’d ever see anyone make an animatic for this story <3 The incredibly talented Snanners on discord posted this amazing piece of art the other day, and I asked for their permission to share it with everyone here. It’s just too good not to.

Also, thank you so much for introducing me to this song!! I can’t believe how well it fits TSS. <3

The song features the Shadowman, Snanners MC and Gwyndal (which I think is obvious, but just in case anyone is wondering). The song is called “Hey Little Songbird”.

A would be fascinated and intrigued; they might not  want to admit it to themselves or the people around them, but they are drawn to things that are unfamiliar to them. They might see the MC as kind of an experiment as to how an individual would cope with their darkest sides and would take great interest in the MC’s struggle (not to be malicious, but because it genuinely interested them). Would also want to delve into the MC’s mind and take on the challenge of banishing the nightmares for good.

R would be creeped out by the images and might avoid the MC a bit upon seeing them, but once they found out the true reason why MC made them they would be a lot more understanding. In their own, stubborn way, they’d try to help the MC feel better and ask about the nightmares etc. They could probably even relate to it in a way.

G would find the pictures interesting and compliment the MC for their grotesque and chaotic motifs, but would also suggest that the MC seeks help lmao. Upon finding out the reasons for them, however, they would… Do something that’s a little spoilery ;) but generally try and convince the MC that they don’t need to be afraid.

M would be grossed out and interested when seeing the pictures (they like horror, after all!), but they trust MC and would mostly be really excited over their amazing ability to draw. When they learned about the nightmares, they would be devastated and feel really bad for liking the pictures, and would probably try to find out the reason why the MC was having them. Then, they’d try to make them laugh somehow.

Q would be concerned, but not freaked out. Would let the MC know right away that they know about the drawings, and would let the MC vent out their feelings as much as they needed to whilst being silently supportive.
