#tabithamance

Fuck it, I’m gonna post about this with bigger tags. The shippers are many and it’s unfair and uncool how they’ve been treated — it’s harmless and Tumblr has settings for filtering out tags easy peasy.

Started testing out the Tabitha romance in my mod the other day, technically yesterday in the wee hours. High key thrilled with how well it’s going!

If this is something you want to see more of, follow the tags!! If it icks you out, check out the tags for things to filter out.

The mod is a pretty all purpose expansion, and in it, you’ll need to click yes in an early menu to see any of the Tabby flirts or have a chance to unlock this, so anyone who isn’t into that can enjoy the rest of it without this yucking their yum. (Ngl, former squick of mine, & former filtered tags! So I get it.)

Note: I’ve blocked BTG on this platform so that they won’t see these posts. I want to respect their boundaries and they’ve been clear about disliking any shipping of MC with Tabitha. Please help by not sharing with them!

Added details to the modded Faustian bargain to account for the Tabithamance.

Still gotta make sprite variants and do sound effects and cut-to-black and background changes and so on.

But I’ve got a draft of an adversarial kiss after a secondary romance lock. There’s a version for the hard win and another for the impasse, and I added an entire car conversation.

Whiiiich is gonna mean a lot of sprite edits, since she doesn’t emote as widely during the original set. Haha rip…

Hello yes… I may not do anon asks, but I’m always willing to anonymize them like this.

The Tabbymance is the most complex part of the mod and I’m not sure how quickly that’ll be done. That said, anyone who wants an early version to help with testing and tweaking, I’d be happy to share.

Would also be happy if any moots wanted to bounce ideas about the writing and help tweak things, because I’m writing lines for most characters at this point.

It’s a general expansion with kinda a Words Unspoken thing going on—all manner of things you wish you could say to the characters and can’t in the base game. But also ended up including neopronouns, sobmaxxing, and aroace options.

A taste of what I’m working on below the cut. Check it out if you want Tabbymance in your life, or not if you don’t!
