I’m gonna be nice to Trude and like them but still romance Ann. Sorry sweet bebe, you deserve someone who loves you and won’t use you.

True ! Trude sadly the second woman/man in their own (official) relationship, babe needs to find someone sighhh

[debauchery-if]

Omg. I just found this and it made my day. Can't wait to see how thos IF will go. Also will we be able to see like the darkest things of being a child star? Like the darkest dark stuff?

Yep ! I do plan on showing other characters as well. For example Lux, another side character called 'Beatrice' and more ! (Which i do plan making characters inspired by people or fictional people that fit in so like Sarah-Lynn from Bojack, and etc.

There all be sa, false sa accustions and mentioned of grooming, having sex to get a role, or jokes about sa and how male sa victims are treated like its a good thing (if its with a woman or that none believes men are getting sa'd or takes it seriously)

This is inspired by the child stars mentioned in the post which like shirley temple + more were sexualized as children so the same is going to happen.

All of the stars in this IF (ros/flings) get sexualized which you'll see (+ velvet)

I also want to tackle different issuses in this IF as well sooo like racism, sexism, queerphobia, wars so these will also be present.

[debauchery-if]

[debauchery-if]

Ahh, its fine ! Pearl is doing alright, they're writing and also just sick plus we both are still in school, my final year and hopefully pearl's again lol ! (they gonna be super senior /j)

[debauchery-if]

An IF with actual old ROs?!!?! Can't wait to read the demo😝

[debauchery-if]

I’m really looking forward to reading this! Where can I read it?

Its not out yet, you can resd snippets that I posted underneath the tag of #shame : snippets or go to the main cast / ros & flings van click on the underline word on the characters' names, which had more lore about them and its snippets !

(It will be on itch io and my neco site)

[debauchery-if]

i’m so excited for this if!! could we have a progress report about where you are w the writing and your ideas about the direction of the beginning?

I am on Act One, prologue is finished ! My internet was off for 4 days, my mom forgot to pay the bills plus I had no data to use, sadly but I lose about 2k words but its slowly coming back to where its at, not sure about the right word count because I am jot aure to fix, delete stuff. I gotta reread again.

My ideas about the beginning, is like a old timey interview and how child stars are treated, again main topic of this IF ! It shows how Velvet was treated along with other stars, and the side stories show how racism, sexism, sa and other topics were seen back then. From 1920-1940s ! I hope I read that right, also because of school, busy but writing when I can !!

[debauchery-if]

You've received a lot of asks about Trude with a negative connotation (ngl it feels a little like revenge p*rn at this point from that/those anons) and I can imagine that gets exhausting. So I wanted to ask something different.

Starting with: Is this your first if? If that's the case has the process/experience been different from what you thought it'd be? Not only with the writing/coding but also managing the blog and answering asks.

Also I'm really interested in knowing what kind of dynamics or scenes you're most excited to write about.

Overall I hope you have fun writing, that your anons are always kind to you and a smooth writing/coding process ✨️

Revenge porn ? I really don't have a problem with people disliking Trude, its like "okay, your opinion but don't judge so quickly aside from Estelle" but onto your questions !

"Is this your first if? If that's the case has the process/experience been different from what you thought it'd be? Not only with the writing/coding but also managing the blog and answering asks."

This is my first IF that I am doing !

1.5 I thought it was going be a bit more easier with coding but I was proven a bit wrong but got the hang of it and its been easy so far with me, writing is going at my own speed and its quite (small, small) difference.

"Also I'm really interested in knowing what kind of dynamics or scenes you're most excited to write about."

I am more interested in writing the relationships and more in-depth with the characters (with velvet or each other) and I can't wait because of the drama also the scenes would be how child-stars are treated or how Velvet and everyone (stars) are being treated in hollywood !

Also thank you !

Lux is going to love Velvet in the end, I see it

[debauchery-if]

How a marriage between Lux and Mc could be? Lux loves mc? I read that they had feelings for Velvet

"Lux loves mc? I read that they had feelings for Velvet"

They had feelings for Velvet (romantic) when they were younger but now its more sexual feelings and its not love, I would say, Lust or Like but not love.

Anyways, for your question about marriage !

It would be a marriage of slience because Lux won't be the one to say "I love you" or "Goodnight, Good morning" and Lux treats you like a partner but not an marriage partner, there's an difference (trust) and they aren't that lovely, also they are still a bit abusive towards Velvet but It depends on the person to rate them but for me I would rate it 4/10 for bad marriage but again depends on people.

[debauchery-if]

Can Lux love Velvet?

Eh, I would like to see Lux as aromantic or demiromantic, it will take a while for them to love someone now (in the past, they would fall Inlove with ease but now, its different, romance isn't that important to them) so maybe but it will take forever since Lux wants someone interesting and their attention often moves around.

[debauchery-if]

WAA, I love Jonesy so much!! I read that special thing or sneak peak, the way he was told that he was lucky and it was implied he was sa'd, omg..... As a male who was also sa'd and none believed me, it hits hard, it sucks. Anyways, I love him.

Could I have funfacts? pretty please!

Aw, I love Jonesy as well ! Also was someone himself who went through the thing, stay strong and sorry it happened to you but of course I could give you funfacts ! (insert, some sad, some random meme)

"old fun facts"

he hates that woman from the snippet and he often gets drunk and doesn't remember who he wakes up with, he often gets used for his money or body.

he tried to sing infront of everyone during a party hosted by one of his famous actor friends but had voice cracks and LOST his damn pants somehow.

he has a painting of a badly drawn human, being himself which is what his favorite nephew made for him, he hangs it up in his room full of gifts and it has a gold border.

NEW FUNFACTS

the reason why he is so touchy with Velvet or with other characters (ex. headpats, backpats, shoulder touches and arm touches) is because of many things such as overcompensation--I decided to do this because he's trying to calm himself down and seem calm. Another one would be a trauma response-- needing physical reassurance, seeking validation through touch, even if it makes others uncomfortable which he does regardless if the person is uncomfortable (which you can see in the game when Velvet is uncomfortable with touches or gets uncomfortable) Also because of his fame / ideal of him being charming !

He is also a mama's boy and I would say the song is called Mama's boy - Dominic Fike because why not !

He was inlove with a famous singer named June, she's a black singer and they were dating for a while but they broke up after Michael-Jones woke up with someone else in his bed after a party and she found out and broke up with him.

Michael-Jones often gets accused of things (like affairs, sa, or seducing people) due to his charming picture, and he dislikes It but puts up with the scandals due to his manager saying suck it up.

[debauchery-if]

Lux cares about Velvet 🫣

Kind of..?

Lux is confusing and they're confused themselves but would they save Velvet from a fire over a person, honestly it depends on the person, if they care more about somebody than goodbye Velvet or if its someone they don't care about then Velvet is safe but they would rather save themselves if a person they didn't look were in a fire with Velvet.

they care about someone over Velvet, they save that person.

if someone is there that lux doesn't care with Velvet then its a 50/50 that lux is going to leave by themselves or save Velvet.

So that should answer itself !

[debauchery-if]

The flings are like semi-ros as infamous?

Not really, I mean who wants romance :

someone who really doesn't care for you and also is abusive.

someone who is parasocial, creepy and also borderline dubcon.

someonewho doesn't care, will chose fame over you, emotionally abusive.

someone who groomed you, statutory raped you, also borderline dubcon.

I know who would romance them lowkey, freaks but in a good way but I don't think I will for now. I want to focus on the main ROs then which I plan to do poly so if people do want to romance to flings, it will be semi-ROs and not full ones, and its not always seen kinda light and small romance scenes which its not end-game btw, I forgot how infamous does it....

so if so then its going to be like this for me to take.

focus on the main ROs first.

then focus on semi ROs second.

and finally focus on poly routes.

(by this, I guess I will be doing something like this. so for example....

chapter out is out, only focuses on main ROs

chapter two is out, focuses on main ROs but updates chapter one to focus on semi-ROs

and it goes on, also for the poly, that's later on because I still have to figure out how to code it and who are going together in that route.

[debauchery-if]

Funfacts about the game?

(cw. maybe grooming ?)

There was supposed to be another RO which was a male (because I like guys heh) but anyways, he was a family friend of Wellisom, from that guy in the bar in Wellisom's snippet and he helped out and he was like originally, going to be a childhood crush of Velvet's and then you could later on romance him, so it was going to be a bit weird but I was low-key into it because he has two children and he's a dilf but I changed my mind because people might not like it.. ?

1,5. Which I could see why and plus I had nine ROs and that would be Ten ROs if I kept him but who knows, maybe I will make a special for those who want to romance him non-ROs characters like side characters (ex. a side act where you can interact and romance wellisom, kitty, blade, or another characters) !

2. I originally wanted to make Velvet more look-like Kitty with their appearance (like whatever you chose for appearance, you would look-like Kitty so it would be like generational grooming ? But then I thought about Wellisom and thought about a cute baby and a stotic dad who looks almost the same, it was cute so I decided to do that with Wellisom instead.)

3. I wanted to include other celebrities like to appear in the game and not just mentioned or talked about but then I was like, I don't know how they truthfully are so I said nevermind (real stars are going to be mentioned but not like talking to my ocs / characters)

4. Kitty was originally going to be strict so Velvet had strict parents, but Kitty is still strict but not in Kitty's way, she was going to be more mean and straightforward and just rude but this Kitty is more naive and stupid (in the nicest way to say)

I think that was it for the original status of the game.

[debauchery-if]

Was Velvet nominated for the Oscars?

Yup, Velvet was nominated for Oscars.

Velvet did win on a Juvenile Academy Award--Oscar when they were 11 also a best supporting lead at 15 also best lead star/let at 19.
