[cygnusnoctis]

swinging my legs, now im imagining soma with an mc who's dayjob is already knowing whats gonna happen so in bed they just want to be "endlessly surprised"

i can totally see the same thing with N toooo

MC: surprise me :)

N: ok :)

Soma who is romantically interested in MC but does not have the guts to admit it: what am i, the court jester? [proceeds to do exactly that]

[cygnusnoctis]

D likes to be on the bottom??? Oh wow that makes me curious

How would they (and other ROs) react to a tiny dom/top MC who's meek in the streets but a beast in the sheets?

Definitely prefers it position-wise and often in other ways too because they can be a little conscious of their size/strength and even more so in close intimacy, so being able to let their partner have the upper hand in either position or initiative feels good for them.

I think the switch-up would be what gets most of the ROs, for sure. S would find it hella amusing and would probably up the teasing while MC's still in 'streets' mode. D would be pleasantly surprised and probably really into it, tbh. N would frankly treat it like a challenge kind of, tbh, since they prefer being the dom/top. J's just relieved that MC knows what they're doing and would be far too shy to admit that they're liking what MC's doing, too.

[cygnusnoctis]

and that same soma anon again, but for all the ROs plus our problematic prince: what are their favorite positions + how would they react to a nursrava with a humiliation kink?

I've answered for the ROs here regarding positions, as for Soma I don't think he'd really have a favourite position, it's kind of what'll scratch that itch at that very moment, y'know? Obviously has a preference for any position that lets him assert dominance over his partner i.e. from behind, partner's legs thrown over his shoulders, mating press idk, I think you get the point.

But if you mention a humiliation kink, well, that would be absolutely Soma's wheelhouse, wouldn't it? Definitely his thing. I think the other ROs wouldn't really lean towards that, S and N might be talked into it with the right partner but it's definitely something they would have to take some time to get into the right mindset for.

[cygnusnoctis]

soma anon again (you were right. i was hella sleep deprived when i sent that last ask). but more stuff u already answered for the ROs that im curiousss about: how horny is he and does he have any kinks (and how would he react to a nursrava with a praise kink)?

For Soma, I think his sex drive is kind of similar to S's in that it's quite variable, but probably more erratic. Whether he'd use sex as a distraction or something for the sake of pleasure can be hard to tell, I think. As for any kinks, take your pick for any kind of power play -- clearly being in control is something he enjoys, so anything in that and adjacent kinks are all fair play, I'd reckon. For an MC with a praise kink, it's a little...amusing to him, I'd think. He may indulge them a bit, but definitely could switch it up at any point.

[cygnusnoctis]

I couldn’t find if there was a response to this already but if it already has been answered, please feel free to ignore! Or if this question is too spicy - definitely not my intention to make you uncomfortable if this question does.

What position(s) does/do the ROs prefer when they are getting intimate with their partner?

J is lowkey giving vanilla missionary (nothing wrong with that of course!) whereas N is giving, “I know positions that don’t even exist in the Kama Sutra” vibes 🤣

I’m just absolutely deceased by the responses in regards to N being this calm collected figure on the outside, but being a passionate lover when it comes to the bedroom.

As an additional question, does the Kama Sutra historically exist in this universe/time period in which you’re building your story around?

Not too spicy!! I just want to make sure that I’m answering this properly tbh. Rather than positions in particular (because there’s just so many, y’know!), I’m going to try and go for like…general preferences for positions? Let me know if this doesn’t make sense!

S: Rather than a preference for any kind of position, they prefer it when they can hide their own face. Can’t come across as too vulnerable now, can they? Otherwise, anything quick and easy that gets the job done is fine for S, but if they really get into the mood then it’s still a preference for being able to hide their own face but still able to whisper dirty sweet nothings into their partner’s ear — think like either embracing from behind or being able to hide their face in the crook of their partner’s neck.

D: Honestly? Prefers their partner on top. They want to be ridden (good lord I hope that’s the right participle being used here), for sure — there’s something super intoxicating about seeing their partner putting in the effort. If their partner ever tires, D will be more than happy to help, whether that means providing a steady grip or their own, uh, thrust.

N: You know, if it’s someone they truly love… does going down on their lover even count as a position? Yes, it’s foreplay, but if N had their way then that would be appetiser and dessert both — and they want them both first. Big, big fan of that whole denial/overstimulation tandem, so they really could be at it for a while, too.

J: Aww, well, yeah as far as poses and preferences go they’re pretty vanilla, but to be honest they’re also vastly inexperienced when it comes to sex and lovemaking (and especially compared to the other ROs). Most previous experiences were more rote rather than experimental, but with the realisation that they like to be taken care of and paid attention to when it comes to sex. Combined with their preference for submission and pillow princess tendencies, I’d safely say that a trusted lover in a safe space can bend J over any sturdy piece of furniture for a good time.

As for the canonical existence of the Kama Sutra, it exists — but is taken in its entirety, as a fundamental self-help kind of book for

living a life of fulfilled emotional needs & desires

how to cultivate and maintain one’s love life (which includes sexual activities)

how to be a good partner for one’s lover(s) in relation to the above categories.

[cygnusnoctis]

how do the ROs let MC know they're in the mood? aka how would they go about taking initiative/seducing MC?

You know, I’m surprised I had an answer more or less ready for this… (just kidding, I am not.)

S: pretty upfront but treats seduction like a game, so you can expect them to drop heavy, heavy hints with prolonged eye contact, lingering touches, suggestive statements etc. Even though they are pretty obvious about their desires, they still want MC to catch on and respond, so they’d rather not be blunt about it. But give them an inch and they’ll take more than a yard (with consent, I mean this is a given but just in case it has to be mentioned).

D: Most pitiful puppy, I swear. It’s the same eye contact, meaningful touches as S but why does it just feel like they would radiate pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease energy?? Like they would just sort of slide into MC’s space, kind of pressing against them with zero sense of personal physical space and looking at their lover with bright, expectant eyes. If allowed, they’d also initiate more physical contact by wrapping their arms around MC, burying their face in the crook of their lover’s neck. It would be pretty easy to tell that they’re a little restless, they’re also hoping that MC picks up on the cues.

N: Kind of funny in my mind, but the most obvious cue that they can present is when they busy themselves with preparing the shared space around them and MC. Locking the door, closing the window shutters, checking on the incense and the flames of the lamps etc. It’s never done in a hurry, but steady and meditative instead. It’s their way to giving MC time to say no or otherwise, and it’s a kind of control of the situation that someone who likes to take the upper hand in bedroom matters enjoys.

J: Feels far too self-conscious when the desires Arise™ at first. Fidgety, maybe a little distracted at first but it would soon pass. Once J accepts what they want, their approach to MC would be probably the most direct? They would be in MC’s space, and gently reach out to place their hand on MC’s cheek or press their forehead against their lover’s own. Would likely also be the type that would vocalise their desires but in a very mundane kind of way, like stating that they can no longer focus on the calculations and the charts.

[cygnusnoctis]

even though he's not a LI, do you have any info to share with the class (i am sitting front row, in an empty classroom)? maybe how he kisses/likes to be kissed and where he likes to kiss (wink wink)

Hehe, I think this is about Soma so...without much further ado, let's see.

In my mind he's a very, what's the word... hungry? greedy? lover. Kisses would be deep, devouring, all-consuming, with him either having his hands on his lover's face or waist, holding them tightly close. I would like to imagine that he would like to be kissed in the same way, to get lost in the act of intimacy.

Probably loves kissing at the juncture of the jawline & neck, because of the certain vulnerability that action has.

[cygnusnoctis]

Kinda new heree! Im curious, this game will have nsfw scenes? Or this blog is more of a "kinda funny blog to answer this kind of questions but there won't be anything like that in the final product"? Im fine with both of them tho~

I have a very important question... I saw D is more a service Top but... They would be okey to be the bottom?

I admit i have a weakness... Buff himbos who can and will bottom so I was wondering if they would be like that too~

Thanks!

(we need more buff bottoms in this world 🛐)

Insert here meme: you are stupid, i like that in a man. /J

Hello and welcome!!! Thank you for stopping by 🫶

Yes, because of the hosting platform’s rules, the actual game will not have any nsfw content. That’s kind of the purpose of this blog for now, hehe.

And as for your question about D….yes, they’re absolutely versatile, and loves to please their partner so they will definitely bottom if & when asked 🤭

[cygnusnoctis]

Hii (insert name) (btw, how should we call you?). I have some questions! How different would the ROs react in sexual setting based on gender? I'm asking especially for the female version of them, would it change how ominant/ submisse they are? How horny, how open about their feelings they would be if the MC is also a woman. I'm sorry if you answered this before but I don't know how homosexual relationships are going to be perceived in the world but it got me wondering about the differences in how they would act. Like for example, maybe the would be more open about being physical affectionate in the crush stage because women touching each other is pretty normal one friendships and such, or maybe it would make them more hesitant to say anything due to heterosexual pressure

Hello, Lux works for me :3

To be honest, gender doesn’t really much of a difference when it comes to sexual expression and what role each RO would prefer to be in. As mentioned in this post, gender is seen as something not inherently related to sex in Arkavala, but more of an expression of the soul. Because of that, relationships between all genders are treated equally, and heteronormativity doesn’t really have a role in a society like this.

As for openness when it comes to sex as a whole, it is regarded as an important part of relationships, especially when it comes to fulfilment in a physical and emotional sense. This society believes that lovemaking sits inside a much larger picture of partnership. If one were to participate in sex, there is a focus on mutual pleasure, emotional presence during the act and equality of enjoyment for all people involved.

Hopefully this answers your question!

Slightly NSFW

How would the ROs react if they thought MC had hooked up with someone else? Maybe they heard them doing it, saw them leaving MC's room etc something like that. I want to torture them with jealousy 🙏 this is deep crushing state ofc, no cheating involved

Ohhh I live for some drama, thank you for sending this in! And I'm so sorry for how long this took -- I lost my draft on mobile maybe 7 times, so now that I'm finally not on my work PC, I can actually sit down and answer this.

Though just a quick lorebuilding drop: in this world, polyamory is indeed possible, so we will be rolling with that assumption that MC being with someone else =/= the door’s fully closed for the RO by principle of exclusion. It does not, however, negate the fact that the RO feels like they haven’t been chosen to share a bed with MC at that point, which is a perfectly valid source of jealousy.

S…oh my shayla, they would probably be a lot more hurt than they’re willing to admit. Despite them being the embodiment of ‘free love’ and ‘wanting to remain untethered’, it probably crushes them when they realise that MC doesn’t see them in that way. They would likely do anything to just get rid of the unpleasant feelings, most likely something risky as a distraction. May try and see if they can hook up with someone else instead (doesn’t really work, does it, S?)

D would also be somewhat similar in that they would be very hurt and not willing to admit it, but instead be far too accepting of it. In the world of the imperial palace, alliances of the bedroom can be made for any reason, and if there was anyone that would understand your reasoning for any of them, it would be D. MC's definitely got reason to find solace with someone whose very life is dedicated to the empire before anything else. Still, they wish they could be the one protecting you with their own hands, you know?

With N, they would also put professionalism first. They would be a bit shaken up because being affected by seeing MC with someone else is such a stark reminder that, for a while, their heart was not under their control. N wouldn't confront MC, choosing instead to retreat behind a wall of absolute, freezing professionalism to keep from feeling a sense of pitiful nausea again. They can just hope that MC isn't around during those moments when their self-control falters.

J is a little complicated, because while they would also try to rationalise it anyway, they do not try to minimise their own grief and carry it around instead, which can taint their anxiety towards & for MC. They wonder if MC simply gives themself to anyone who whispers sweet lies in the dark? Do they know how easily they could be ruined in this court? Then they feel bad for thinking poorly of MC, and it comes with a side serving of self-loathing too because J surely tell themselves that this bitter cynicism they have carried for the better part of their life is probably the reason why MC never liked them in the first place.

[cygnusnoctis]

j is that one post that’s like missionary so we can keep arguing🙂‍↕️

PLEASE SDFLKGLKJH

[cygnusnoctis]

if ros discover nursrava has a praise kink how would they utilize this information? exploit it at every opportunity, deploy it more sparingly for maximum impact, secret third thing?

Oooo, fantastic question. I think most of them would lean towards deploying it strategically, but the definition of “strategy” is very different for each RO.

S thinks they’re being strategic about it, but the main goal is definitely to see MC get flustered and shy. This would happen in public more often than not, but they would only do that if the Nursrava was not truly being pushed out of their boundaries. Otherwise I can easily imagine them using it while being intimate too. They like taking the lead and this is an excellent way for them to make their gratitude known — a win-win situation.

With D, it might be difficult for MC from the start because D’s just so generous with their praise in general. The nature of that is innocent, but if it slips into something more suggestive and they see MC’s reaction, they will definitely make a solid mental note of it. They’re not particularly inclined towards the D/S dynamic but if it pleases MC then they would love to indulge them during sex.

Speaking of someone who truly weaponises it, N. Somehow the way they compliment MC all the time has a certain… well, let’s just say undertone to it. This kind of dynamic is quite up their alley, so I think they would be the most effective at deploying it both inside and outside of the bedroom. And if someone else happens to overhear…? Well, that’s not N’s problem, but if it makes MC uncomfortable then they may be able to make it the third party’s problem will know how to use it within MC’s means of comfort.

As for J, I feel like they would use it less as a D/S thing, try as they might, and it just ends up being more worshipful instead, lol? Like, I mean, gold star for effort but it’s not the same thing. Conversely, on the other hand, their focus is so intense on MC when they’re working together, even in non-intimate settings, that a statement down the lines of “you’re doing good, don’t stop here” could be very effective for MC. Except J probably gets more embarrassed if MC points it out to them 🥹 but they can learn…

[cygnusnoctis]

Which of the ROs would call MC mommy/daddy?

Who would prefer to be called mommy/daddy?

To be brutally honest with you, I think all of them have too much parental trauma to be into that 😭 from a narrative aspect, at least.

Feel free to hc otherwise if it fits for your MC/their relationships with their ROs!

[cygnusnoctis]

I was pretty adamant about N being my favorite but these NFSW ask made me fall for J lol Baby girl is NOT safe in my hands, can't wait to make her a shy mess

Anyway! I have an ask. Sorry if it is too forward but how horny each RO is? How often they would want sex and how many rounds. I'm betting on S being the horniest but I'm eager to be proven wrong lol

AHAHA okay so I would consider my mission as successful then. I wish to slowly convert everyone’s original impressions as a writer, that’s obviously the most fun part of it (says the person whose favourite is generally very consistent…).

That’s a really interesting question because tbh I think there’s genuine layers to it. I’m gonna try and break it down for each RO with all the various considerations that I have overthought for them.

S: If it’s just sex, they like it but it’s also very much a one-and-done thing. They don’t do situationships, and if it’s a one night stand then it really remains just that. If it’s with someone they love, sex is definitely something that has the potential of being a very important part of their lives. The drive is high but generally inconsistent, so having something like actual emotions attached to it will make it more consistent and they will adjust to their lover’s pace (ok let’s be real, this is a romance story so they will all accommodate their lover to a large extent).

D: Actually the true definition of accommodation. Sex is nice and all but they don’t really do too much of it casually, because for them it’s like flirting doesn’t necessarily have to lead to all that. They’re a little romantic at heart so that’s what the flirting is for, really. As far as being with a lover, for them they just enjoy physical contact in any form, sexual or not. If their partner wants more of it, heck they’re down. They have the stamina and the love in their heart. If their partner wants less of it, it’s fine. They expend a lot of physical energy in other ways anyway.

N: Kind of similar to S in that if there’s no strings attached, it’s one-and-done, but unlike S, they do remember everyone they’ve slept with. Yet, their reputation is a lot more discreet and they’ll only hook up with someone they’re sure won’t leverage it in any possible way. With that being said, I think their drive and appetite is higher than S’s so a one night stand really can be one night or a bit longer. When it’s with emotions involved though, whew, yeah they can be quite physical in showing their love if their partner doesn’t mind it. The key is to stay hydrated and take breaks, okay?

J: The entire concept of a hook up or a one night stand makes them want to throw themselves off a cliff, dramatically speaking. To their very adorable (and in our modern understanding, demisexual) mind, the idea of baring yourself vulnerable for a few moments of pleasure is just not worth it at all. I think what’s special about J with a lover is that there’s a real sense of yearning in the sex, it’s like a little romantic and a little desperate at all times. They’re continuously learning about themselves with their lover, and that makes them want to do it more so that they can learn more about themselves and how to please their lover.

[cygnusnoctis]

ok so we know where the ros like to kiss/be kissed, but HOW do the ros like to kiss/be kissed 👀 (sloppy, pecks, slow, etc)

👀👀👀👀👀👀

S is definitely playful and teasing, will let you think you have the upper hand and invite you to close the distance. When they do kiss, it’s more slow, deliberate and sensory. They do love being kissed by surprise, especially if it’s a kiss intended to disrupt their pace... I mean, yeah, they’ll dictate the mood and flow soon enough once again, but that tell-tale flush on their cheeks and the way the other party could feel the way S’s breath caught in their throat that made it worthwhile.

As for D, their kisses are exactly like their personality: passionate, warm, joyful, all-encompassing. You can fully expect them to be holding their partner close, by the waist or D’s hands in their partner’s hair, and like to kiss them breathless. The captain likes to be kissed in the same manner too, and often will be the type to smile into a kiss or break it for a breathless laugh before diving right back in.

When it comes to N, kissing them feels like coming home. They’re the type to kiss with a heavy, slow sort of protectiveness, because the kiss is as much of a sanctuary for them as they want it to be for their partner. They’re also the type to pepper small kisses around their partner’s face — forehead, temples, corners of their partner’s lips — in between deeper kisses to convey the devotion they feel. Kissing N, no matter how it begins, will inevitably come to this most of the time.

J hesitates at first, not daring to cross the chasm. They will often wait for their partner to initiate and cross the line, hovering agonisingly close and checking their partner’s gaze for permission. When the kiss does happen, though, it has a sense of reverent desperation in it, like they just want to lose themselves in the situation and their partner. If their partner initiates, especially by surprise, J might freeze up a little but will dive in as soon as they’re back to their senses, forced out of their mind and into their heart, reassured once again that they are wanted.

[cygnusnoctis]

Qhat exactly would "hashtag hit it right" for the ROs? (Possible gender variations?)

You know what, to be honest...I used that one more as a figure of speech than anything, because I'm going to say that this is one of the questions best to explore with your own Nursrava!

The more I think about it, the more I want to tie down something as concrete, it occurs to me that all of their relationships with the Nursrava are highly dependent on MC's own personality and preferences.

[cygnusnoctis]

the sadness when just now finding this sideblog but pure joy as I read through the asks was some kind of whiplash (heavily misused but bear with me) What ROs like to tease or be teased and how far are they willing to tease MC or be teased? I feel like a certain RO would like to leave MC overstimulated and perhaps an MC would like to do the same to them but I'll leave that up to the author!

N’awww well I’m glad you made your way here anyway! And hopefully the answers have been, um… enriching?

Hoooo boy okay so as far as teasing goes, S enjoys it, both giving and receiving but like they won’t admit they enjoy it as much?? It is kind of a temperament thing but they definitely enjoy the excitement factor, so there’s good room for that.

J, as we discussed earlier, would definitely like to be teased and would be absolutely tsundere about it. I want to almost say N but to be honest it’s a lot more power play vibes with them and less playful spontaneity like you’d expect with S. But if you’re looking to be wrecked, lowkey, N’s your pal.

But also super keen to hear y’all’s thoughts! Always keen :3 Part of what makes IF really fun for me is that I think there’s a lot of room for personalisation and I absolutely love and encourage y’all to experiment with how your Nursrava’s interactions would affect the RO(s). There’s a loooooooot of wiggle room in this world of creativity :3
