#roselyna

As promised, here are two of the new NP choices in Chapter 4 where you can let your twin or friends finally talk back against Tita Steph. I had a lot of fun writing them 😄

Take note that picking these options will increase Wayne's Silliness and Roselyna's Emotional stats respectively (plus a bunch of other things), so you might not want to pick them if you don't want them to act like that later.

I've also expanded the scene where MC talks back to Tita Steph, so there will now be a new Intimidation stat check (which will grant you a new achievement if you succeed) if you pick that option.

Yes yes yes!!! Maggie and julie's childhood story!!!! I'm so looking forward to it!!! The wayne and rosie traveling alone and all the other stories are very interesting too tho!!!!

Hehe. Okay, I'm a little surprised that people are excited to learn more about Maggie and Julie's backstory, although it's unlikely to be one of the stories I'll write first (mostly because the other ones are more developed). I'm not sure which POV I'll write it in, but with Maggie being the MC I'm leaning a bit more towards Julie since I find that perspective more interesting.

Although I'd say that Wayne and Roselyna are actually the original twins, since Maggie and Julie being twins is more of a recent development.

Speaking of, I've actually already kinda outlined Wayne and Rosie's perspective of the cursed fieldtrip and their Samar adventure, but it probably won't come out anytime soon.

Oh look, another year, another birthday where I don't have a present for my favorite goobers. I know this is a bit late*, but I'm still chugging along with the update, and I wanna finish that first before I get back into drawing again.

But instead of beating myself up again for not having done anything special, I want to take this moment instead to reminisce a bit about my early days with these two gremlins.

This was buried in the very first post I made on the blog, but if you haven't seen it yet, this is the first drawing I have of Wayne and Roselyna together, back when they were still 8 year old twins!

You can tell it's really old because they still had black hair, Rosie still has the (amethyst) heart locket, and Rosie's nowhere near as huggable as she is now. Hehe.

And this is the very first drawing I had of Roselyna. Minor spoiler, but that is supposed to be Wilboar, back when he was still named Waddles. He obviously has a different design now, and as you can see from the tiny scribble on the sign above, she was celebrating her birthday at the inn/tavern of Cordelia's parents.

(Please ignore the ferret, it's a joke character from one of my old RPs back in the day)

Anyway, time really flies, huh? I can't believe my little goobers are already 17 years old. They've been living inside my head for almost a decade now, but I'll have to wait until November for that. Maybe I'll have time to draw them as teens by then.

Oh wow. I guess it's understandable, but I totally wasn't expecting Lily's parents to be on the crush list! Not sure how Lily would feel about that though. 😅

I'm not gonna mention any spoilers, but believe me when I say that their cool factor will be much higher in the later volumes (especially Dani). 😄

Anonymous asked:

do Roselyna and Wayne enjoy romance movies?

Of course! Well, Rosie especially.

Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day too if that's your kinda thing. We've been talking in the Discord, and now Wayne's teasing Roselyna with the nickname Chocolyna because of course she'd rather have chocolate than roses. 😄

Feel free to send me asks about the crush options! Or maybe the parents too—has anyone discovered the full story about how Rosie's parents met?

I'm done with all the character art for the next update!

I've never done anything for Mermay before, but one of the scenes in Chapter 4 inspired me to draw Roselyna as a mermaid/selkie, so I finally took the opportunity!

Rosie would prefer to be a selkie of course, but that wouldn't make much sense, so I drew her tail fin to be a little more like seal flippers instead.

Hello everyone! I'm still chugging along with the next update. I know that's like the 99th time I've said that already, but I've added a lot of new stuff to Chapter 4 and the previous chapters since the beta, that even the beta feels outdated already.

Anyway, I'm making good progress again, and I'm currently finishing writing Roselyna's diary. Except I have no idea how many people are even going to read them 😅 so here's a poll:

Also also I love that you add options for us to decide what to call Tita Julie and Tito Robert, and even use nicknames for MC's best friends. And I'm not sure if this is a new feature or if I missed it before, but I had a lot of fun editing/adding notes to the diary! I like having headcanons about my MCs and it's nice that I can type them into the diary and make them feel more canon.

Here's one from my MC, Auri (star twin)

And here's another from her twin sister, Elise (heart twin)

Ok, uh. I just realized I typed a wall of text without even getting to the ask yet. I'm so sorry for the long ramble 🙇

For the ask: how would Rosie and Lily react about the nicknames my MCs made for them? Would Lily know about the meaning? And since Rosie would know about hers, would she have a hint about MC's crush? And I haven't made up similar nicknames for Wayne, JM, and B (it's harder to work with their names), but how would they react in the same situation?

Ahhh I'm so glad you liked all the crush scenes! They were very fun to write. 😊 There's actually two possible confession scenes for Wayne (one at The NeStore and the cheek kiss), and three possible for Roselyna (the cheek kiss, her BFF scene, and after the bus scene).

You can also check all the secrets in this guide, but I'll be adding a bunch more in the next update!

And yup, the diary postscripts are a new feature! 😄 This is exactly the kind of thing I hoped people would do, so thanks for sharing them!

As for how F6E would react...

I actually have this idea that Lily had a whole researching session at one point about lilies for that exact reason, so her winning that debate would be accurate, hehe. She probably knows what calla meant, but she wouldn't really think twice about the meaning cuz they're just flowers (unless MC starts acting really weird), and crushes are probably the last thing on her mind anyway.

Ohh I love Reyna as a nickname! Rosie is pretty much a nickname collector, and I almost wanna include it in the preset options since I also like the idea of nicknames out of a nickname.

She'd absolutely like it especially because she wants to be a princess, but the nickname itself won't make her think that MC has a crush. As romantic as she is, she isn't really expecting anyone to have a crush on her.

Wayne's fairly good at sensing if someone has a crush on him, but if MC gives him a special nickname, he'll take it as a challenge and return the favor by also giving MC a cute nickname, if he doesn't have one prepared already. (I think a flower/bird-related nickname combo between Wayne and MC would be really cute, hehe.)

If you have enough chemistry points with Wayne in Chapter 2 and ask him to sing with you, you'll learn that he's actually preparing a special song for MC's birthday. 😄

There's a very low chance that JM would realize the crush if the nickname was very subtle. If someone does point it out to him, he'll just try to brush it off and think that MC is just teasing him. That's totally going to be on his mind all night and all week, and he'll try to distract himself with work/studying until he gives in and confront MC if they really mean the nickname (half-hoping that they don't because he thinks they shouldn't be thinking about that yet). He'd admit that it's very sweet though.

Well, B already has seven possible nicknames for MC (it depends on your traits, but the default is "Weirdo"), so it's likely that B will keep teasing MC lightheartedly with that nickname if it does come to that point in their relationship (unless MC hates it of course).

As for B's actual reaction to MC giving them a nickname, they'll just say "No", turn around with an eyeroll, and leave. It'll be on their mind all day and try to be obnoxious to MC and avoid them as much as possible because that obviously isn't happening.

Anyway, I have to say that I'm surprised how well you managed to write the diary entry like how I write MC's thoughts. 😅 I'm actually thinking of adding a separate nickname/term of endearment for the crush options later, so that should be fun.
