(Aka so glad you're joining the hype train, your art is so comfy and warm and I love looking at it)

EEEEEE thsnk you! i hope you feel better soon -- a halsin for your troubles

Theo was my dark horse. He snuck up on me with his sexy beard and smarmy attitude...

That’s what multiple save routes are for 😌

Question! How would you describe each of the RO's romances in 3 words or less? 👀

hnnngn you expect me to think of 12 separate words??? shit. goddamnit

amari - warm, bright, passionate

shaw - tentative, familiar, forgiving

levi - soft, hopeful, protective

Ariel takes every opportunity to lay out every pet name they know. It’s just teasing, if the MC really didn’t like it they would stop! It’s actually nice to see this other side of them. But... if there’s no resistance, then they probably are taking your hand at random, whispering things so only you can hear (regardless of the content. It might not even be romantic things they’re saying, but the intimacy of whispering into their partner’s ear... well, it’s cute to see how the MC burns over it).

Thorne is dying. Please. It’s not enough that the MC is already so cool in their eyes, but now this? It’s too cute, and when you get embarrassed, they get embarrassed, and before you know it you’re just two blushing messes on the ground. And now they have to look away when they hold your hand, otherwise their heart will probably burst. They probably fumble saying pet names, too. You guys are adorable.

Odette tries not to laugh, no, it’s not funny exactly, well... it is a little bit. You’re getting embarrassed over this? She could do much worse, you know, but you’re nervous about her calling you “dear”? 

holy shit

thanks, and that’s actually a mistake on my part!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the demo (and very sorry about how quiet I’ve been)! As for when/if Clem’s every felt violent towards someone...

If nothing else, they’ve definitely had moments where it occurred to them that they could use their size and/or strength to achieve a goal (ex: someone’s getting picked on and they know they could feasibly fight off the bullies). I’m not sure I would describe Clem as a total pacifist, though I also wouldn’t call them someone who particularly enjoys violence.

Their current mindset is one that’s been developed over time, stemming both from their divine dealings and the way their worldview changed when their brother came into the picture. A child can’t fight off the gods or their servants, so violence was rarely useful when Clem was trying to protect the MC from MC-typical shenanigans. But a child could perhaps fight off other children if said child perceived some sort of injustice, and Clem often did. If they saw children tormenting a stray dog, they’d absolutely throw themself into the fray to try and scare off the kids. And maybe that kind of violence even gave them a kind of feeling of control over their life, since they could so rarely do more than tag along and worry over the MC.

But bringing Patrick into the picture? I don’t know how often Clem’s little brother will show up in-game, but one thing that’s fairly characteristic of Patrick is that he’s very... scrappy, let’s say. And that’s something he picked up from Clem. Once Clem realized that Patrick might view them as a role model, they made a conscious decision to try and find other methods of solving problems, but it was a little too late. Even if Clem ended up very deliberately gentle, Patrick still sees them as someone who helps others. So Clem can help with words, but Patrick can help with his fists. Whoops.

Ah yes, Trident’s Teeth. That one killed me, it was the first background I wrote. So, how would the RO’s react....

Morkai would be intensely curious about it but would realize that it was something of significance to the MC so, despite his curiosity, he’d stop rifling through it and let it be. He’d then wait for the MC to talk to him about it themselves, and if that took too long, he’d start dropping not so subtle hints about wanting to know, lol.

Straasa would understand immediately that it was something of extreme emotional value and that it probably has something to do with the MC’s family. So he’d put it reverently back, and then next time he had some privacy with the MC, he’d start talking about his own past and the things that hurt him in an effort to get the MC sharing their own pain.

Daelynn you go through each and every item with quiet affection and sadness, cause she can sense that the items are beloved but tinged with grief. She’d pay a sort of homage to the person the MC loved so much, and then go to the MC and hug them tightly, telling them that she will never leave them. WOuldn’t try to get them to talk about it.
