It occurs to me right now that I don't think I've ever put together a formal about us page on this blog. So I'm putting one together now!
Hello, and welcome to the fyeah7kpp blog! This is a little fan tumblr to celebrate and support the dating sim/visual novel Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem by @azalynestudios! This page was created by me, Tina (@angstmongertina), and features our other mods Lizzie (@purplemeteors), Quilleth (@quilleth), and Tea (@teaandinanity).
For the most part, we're just here to reblog posts about 7KPP and fan creations, organize events, and generally share and promote love for the game! Feel free to send us asks about anything 7KPP related, and we'll do our best to answer!
We also have some other places where you can find and interact with the fandom for the game. For one, we have a tumblr community, The Seven Kingdoms Summit, which is open to anyone! Please follow the link to join!! Additionally, we have a community Discord server, which you can join here! Finally, I think we also have a 7KPP Pillowfort community, though I'd be lying if I said I ever log into Pillowfort, and I think there might be some other communities floating around that I'm not familiar with (if anyone knows anything, let us know and we can link them here)!
Anyway, welcome to fyeah7kpp, and it's nice to meet you!

Current Event:
7KPP Early Release!!!!
7KPP Secret Santa
Upcoming Events:
TBD!!! Feel free to suggest other events!
Apologies for the looooong absence! Mod Tina was out of the country for a few months for work, and has been generally pretty busy, so we're a little late this year. Due to this, we will not be putting up a poll for what timeframe to use for the gift exchange, but worry not, we will still be checking progress and can push back the posting date if necessary!
For now, we will be using a tentative schedule where sign-ups are open now (please fill out the spreadsheet here!), and will be available until November 21st, 2025. We will endeavor to get the name-drawing posted soon after that, so everyone will have plenty of time to create their gift. Since we're starting a bit later this year, posting day will tentatively be January 15th, 2026, but this will be subject to change if necessary!
Just as in previous years, there is absolutely no pressure to participate, but if you are interested, please feel free. The guidelines for gifts are open, though we have generally stuck to fan creations. For some gift ideas or just to see what cool and creative presents people have made, feel free to check out previous years’ collections, which can all be found on this tumblr!
As a note, all posts about this event will be tagged with "7KPP Gift Exchange 2025-2026," as per our poll last year (though this one will also have the "7KPP Secret Santa" tag in case anyone is following that tag).
If you have any questions or concerns, please send us an ask either here or to any of our mods, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
Happy (early) holidays!

Disclaimer: Just as has been true every time before this, I am in no way affiliated with Aly other than having an appreciation for the game and this is not any sort of “official” gift exchange. That being said, it’s always nice to celebrate with friends and have something to look forward to at the end of the year, so let's have fun!

@fyeah7kpp exchange gift for @mer-birdman! I hope I did Irnnia justice! (and Jasper; I haven't run his route yet so there was a lot of poking around your blog and the wiki)

Irina's arrival to the Summit was rather more low-key than she'd been expecting(dreading, more like). Though she supposed with so many delegates arriving, giving each fanfare and accolades would take ages.
And being hustled to her room for the upcoming weeks with minimal interaction suited her just fine. She clasped her hands tightly as she walked to resist scratching the cuts that marked her wrists. The earlier application of salve was wearing off, and the low grade buzzing itch grew stronger around the half-healed scabs. Irina bit her lip and tipped her head forward, hiding her thoughts behind her bangs.
"Here," the porter grunted, managing to twist open the door knob even with one of her bags in hand. He and the others helping wrangled her things into the well-appointed space, leaving her alone.
Rather, alone, save the silent silver-haired young man watching her through violet eyes.
Startled by his presence, Irina dropped a rough curtsy. "Irina Lux, of Hise," she mumbled.
The man inclined his hand respectfully. "Jasper. Your butler for the Summit, Lady Irina." He studied her, not seeming put off by the burn scars that covered her left side, lingering on her tightly clasped hands, "I was given instruction that you have... healing injuries to tend?"
Irina nodded, pointing to the smaller of her two trunks. "There's a salve in there, to be applied twice every day."
Jasper moved to the trunk and located the jar. "I will handle the process myself, to help keep word of it from spreading. Are you due now?"
Another nod, silent relief at the minimizing of rumor on her behalf. She loosened her hands and rolled up her sleeves just far enough to remove bandages and display the forming scars.
Jasper didn't flinch at the sight. Instead he gently guided her to a chair and waited until she'd sat. "Your maids will be along shortly, so why don't you tell me some things about yourself while I work? Knowing your strengths and weaknesses will ensure I am best able to help you during your time here."
She could see the sense of that. And there was something about him that urged her to trust. So Irina sat and watched him gently tend her scars as she filled him in on any details she thought relevant.
---
The first time she sought him out for dancing lessons, it took her almost the whole day to find time and courage. She knew it was a weakness, with her upbringing and reclusive last few years. That didn't make it any easier, asking someone for help with something that would force them into close proximity.
To her relief, Jasper was amenable, and didn't make a big fuss about it. No scolding about her lack of grace, no presumptions, simply quiet unflinching support. He counted out the timing, showed her where and when to step, encouraged through difficult places. His hands maintained a light grip on hers throughout, guiding rather than grasping, and Irina found herself rather proud when they finished and he praised her progress.
She could do this. She was improving and had someone who believed in her.
"Thank you," she said to Jasper afterward as he tended to her wrists, her voice just above a murmur.
"Of course, Lady Irina," he replied, eyes on his task. "Always happy to help."
--
"What do you see yourself accomplishing?"
Even three days after hearing the derisive words from the Matchmaker, they still echoed in Irina's head. The 'mad and withered' girl from Hise, burned, broken, hiding her flaws with long hair and modest clothes. Largely here to get out from under her father's watchful eye.
She stared out the window as she mulled it over, trying to find an answer that fit and would be satisfactory. She sensed a presence behind her more than hearing someone approach. Only one person with access to her chambers was so quiet. "Jasper, do you think there's a point to me being here?"
"Of course," he said, continuing after a moment's pause, "Any who qualify for the delegations have skill and virtues that would be... attractive to some. It's a matter of knowing how best to utilize your skills and finding the one who will most appreciate them." He cleared his throat faintly. "It is time to practice dance some more, my lady."
Shaking off her melancholic thoughts for the moment, Irina turned away from the window to join him. "Of course. Thank you for your continued efforts in this regard."
"It's my duty as your butler," Jasper said smoothly. "I'm always happy to help, Lady Irina." He guided her hands into position. "Today, we start like this..."
--
By the third week, both her wrists and her dancing showed drastic improvement. Given both were thanks to the same person, she found herself looking forward to any time they had together at least as much as time spent with her fellow delegates.
Today, as they danced, Irina felt the confidence in her steps, keeping time perfectly, her hands sure and steady in Jasper's. Her heart raced, surely from the exertion of the past hour and not the approving tilt to Jasper's lips. But it didn't slow when they were done. If anything his half-acceptance, half deflection of her thanks made it speed up.
She wanted to find an excuse to linger, she realized. To stay here with him, rather than attend... whatever she had agreed to for the afternoon. But no. That would defeat the purpose. That wasn't why she was here. Was it? Irina shook herself out of her contemplations, thanked Jasper again, and made herself stride from the room, hopefully in the correct direction.
---
Jasper was, as always, careful and focused as he smoothed the healing salve onto her wrists. He never treat it otherwise, but this time... this time he seemed to be lingering. And the long, light strokes had Irina's pulse up almost to the heights of dancing.
She hoped he didn't notice.
His thumb slowed even further as it circled the end of one scar.
He'd probably noticed.
Maybe that wasn't the worst thing.
Jasper didn't say anything about the fluttering pulse, instead finishing his task.
Irina took a breath that shook more than she expected. "Thank you, Jasper."
It was an extra heartbeat before he raised his head, violet eyes inscrutable. "Of course, Lady Irina. Always happy to help."
---
The rumors abounded, as she'd known they would. Despite having several interested suitors--"even with her background"--Irina had elected not to pursue a romance.
At least not one sanctioned by the Matchmaker. Not one that would stabilize a trade partnership or any benefit to her nation.
She couldn't. Not when any time she thought of them the image was replaced by silver hair and purple eyes and remembered delicacy on her behalf. The way her heart lurched when they danced for practice. His gentle touch tending her wrists, as he was now.
This wasn't how it was supposed to go. She wasn't supposed to fall for one of her staff. She wasn't supposed to...
Irina swallowed hard, pushing away the thoughts. "Jasper?"
His thumb had slowed almost to a caress over her pulse point. He silently cocked his head up to meet her gaze, hands going still.
"I wanted..." She wanted to look down at her lap; this was not a confession she'd ever made, how did people do this? "I wanted to... let you know how much I appreciate everything you do for me. The dance lessons, your advice, looking into the horse incident, helping with this."
Jasper nodded slowly and appeared to be gathering his thoughts. Trying to maintain his demeanor? "It is no trouble, I- Lady Irina." One of his thumbs swept across the inside of her wrist. Not to spread salve or smooth bandages back in place. Just for the touch. "I'm always happy to help."
---
A few short weeks ago, Irina wouldn't have mustered the curiosity to follow up a mysterious note, let alone one as vague as this. But the Summit had changed her. Her friendship and acceptance by other delegates awakened something too-long dormant in her.
And so she went. Senses on alert for a trap, instincts prickling at the darkened theatre storeroom. Those same instincts had her lunging aside from them creaking, collapsing set piece. Not thinking, not deliberating, just move.
She stood in the thunderous silence, breath coming fast as she stared at the wreckage.
That would have killed me.
Someone was trying to--
I should be dead.
She thought she heard someone call her name from far away, but she couldn't make her voice work to respond.
She should be dead, but something gut-deep and instinctual hadn't wanted that. Had saved her. Had wanted her to live. What had changed?
"--rina." The voice was at her elbow, Jasper's expression void of its usual calm. "Are you alright?" It was not an inquiry, like after the riding incident.
It was nearly a demand. Fervent and focused as he reached for her arm.
The second his hand made contact, everything hit her and Irina shook like a leaf, collapsing against him. Jasper didn't hesitate, one arm around her shoulders, the other sliding behind her knees to scoop her up.
"I will find who did this," he murmured against her hair as he carried her back to her room. Irina curled her hand in the lapel of his jacket and his grip tightened in response. "They won't get another chance for... this."
He was furious. Quiet, reserved, proper Jasper was furious on her behalf. And Irina believed him--whoever this mysterious would-be assassin was, they had no idea what was coming.
Her senses had partly returned by the time they reached her room. The silence spoke to Ria and Sayra's absence, so that may have emboldened her.
Before Jasper set her down on the bed, Irina raised her head enough to kiss his cheek. "Thank you, Jasper," she said softly when he froze. "I don't know what I would do without you."
"Of course, Irina." His hand stroke soothingly over her hair. "I'm always happy to help."
And from the way he lingered on setting her down, she knew how much he meant it.
Happy exchange day @awaylaughing!! I had a lot of fun playing with the elsewhere fic prompt and Michi and Lyon (though mostly the people at Holt xD) for this one!

Hey @milleart, I'm your Secret Santa for @fyeah7kpp's 7KPP Secret Santa 2024-2025
Above is a two chaptered story featuring Nayeli and Blain, and a short story featuring Lien Hua and to a small extent, Jarrod, respectively
I apologise for not using most of the information you've helpfully provided in your asks, and I thank you for bearing with me throughout the event
Below the cut is an extra featuring Lien Hua as I personally feel that I didn't do her or you justice enough
As a Chinese, I'm thrilled to learn that Lien Hua likes baos and that pandan mantous are Lien Hua-coded! Pandan mantous are actually what I ate for recess in primary school, granted it was mainly because it only costed 20 cents back then but it was also filling (for a child) and it wasn't too 'in your face' taste-wise
Please excuse my poor handwriting, my goal was to make it as messy as possible while also using a single stroke per character. I've never written in Traditional Chinese before so some characters barely resemble the actual characters...
I meant to post this yesterday, but it was also 2 am by the time I got around to it, so instead I am doing it now.
As the title of this post implies, as we have multiple people who requested for an extension (and because Mod Tina is currently busy as HELL with IRL work; see above comment about 2 am posting), we will be postponing the posting day of the gift exchange to February 28, 2025, giving everyone an extra two weeks to complete their gifts. This will be our set deadline moving forward, as we don't want to end up in a situation where we postpone the posting date forever. However, if you have any extenuating circumstances, please do contact us and we'll work with you to figure something out.
To everyone who would be ready on time, thank you for your patience, and I hope everyone is looking forward to seeing all of the lovely gifts!

are there other events that the 7kpp fandom does besides gift exchanges and prompt weeks such as big bangs or fanzines (though the second one isn't really legal)?
That's a great question! So far, we've mostly stuck to gift exchanges and prompt weeks, in part because the early access wasn't out yet. That said, the mod team has discussed the possibility of organizing a big bang or a fanzine in the future, and is glad to know that there's interest in the possibility!
(I personally have not organized either of those before, but I believe other members of our mod team have. We'll have to discuss more as a team first and double check interest to ensure we have enough participants, but stay tuned!)
I hope your new year has been going well! It occurred to me right now that we haven't done any check-ins on the gift exchange yet. So, how is everyone doing?
Are we still on track for a February 14th exchange date?
Should be good!
Please postpone the deadline.
Fine either way!
Not participating but I can't resist polls.
Voting ended onJan 26, 2025
Please answer the poll if you're participating in the gift exchange, or else feel free to message us if you have any concerns about the timeframe!
So, because I am a dumdum who forgot to make the poll longer and never reblogged it, we'll do another one and hopefully that'll give all participants a chance to respond. I'll also add the general timeframe I'm thinking if we postpone it, which is the end of the month (so an extra two weeks!)
Are we on track round 2 electric boogaloo?
Still looking good for February 14th!
Can we postpone until the end of the month?
Still cool either way!
Not participating but I still wanna pick something.

Thanks everyone for voting and I'm sorry for my absentmindedness. (Truly starting to live up to the stereotype of my future career.)
Okay, now that I am back at my laptop, time to formally blast my silliness to everyone.
For those who missed it, a question was posed earlier on why we use the tag "7KPP Secret Santa" when the gift exchanges aren't necessarily even over the winter holidays, like this year. Honestly, this was just because I used the name when I organized the first one back in 2019 and didn't think too much about it, especially because I was already doing a similar thing for friend gift exchanges and I didn't really expect it to become a yearly tradition (or for this to become one of THE 7KPP tumblr blogs, to be perfectly frank).
However, given the fact that they AREN'T always during the winter holidays, and also that Secret Santa implies a level of Christianity to it that not everyone celebrates, we're now considering a name change moving forward (starting next year, because this season's tags have been used a fair amount already). And because tumblr allows polls, we'll make this a poll. Feel free to vote even if you don't participate! This is just for general feedback.
What would you prefer?
Keep "7KPP Secret Santa [year]" for consistency's sake
Change to "7KPP Gift Exchange [year]" for accuracy and nondenominationality
I'm cool either way
Voting ended onFeb 3, 2025
I don't know if that's actually a word but that's fine. It's already been a long day and it's only 1:30 for me.
Anyway, thanks everyone for voting, and apologies for my accidentally setting up a silly name out of not thinking things through the first time! :)
Looks like we're probably going to change it starting next year, but I figure since i made the poll last for a week, I might as well reblog to get more votes!
