Heya, Rook! It's been a while since I've sent an ask. But please know that no matter how long time passed, I keep going back to Perfumare. It will always have a special place in my heart, my Roman Empire.

So... I recently read a book where a prideful male lead realized what he had to do to get back on the femae lead's good graces. So he did that... he groveled.

Now, I'm wondering... what would be the reason that would make the Perfumare LIs grovel to MC1/MC2? I know some of them might not be susceptible to groveling since they tend to treat MC right from the beginning... but what would make them grovel or in what scenario they would be pushed to grovel? 👀

Hi! Thanks for letting me know, I am super happy to hear that :D

Funny you should say that, because while Avulsion ROs would most likely avoid giving themselves a reason to grovel, Amalgam ROs will all grovel on-screen adsadsad. But let’s see:

Reed and Flavio: for being a stubborn asshole until it’s too late, and the truth hits them like a ton of bricks, making them feel sick with themsleves

Jewel and Nino: letting their emotions get the best of them and lashing out at MC

Laurent and Alan: for making stupid assumptions and running away instead of having a proper conversation...

one of my favorite things about dragon age romances is the varying Flavors™️ of emotional damage they feed you near the end of each game.

for instance, lucanis dellamorte is here to slay your enemies and burn down the world if it even looks at you the wrong way. "i thought i would never see you again," he quietly tells rook, and there is regret in every one of those words. "if i have to kill every blighted creature in thedas to keep you safe, i will. my heart beats for you," he promises.

meanwhile altar-boi cullen rutherford is a DISASTER who literally falls to his knees before a statue of his god. he is seeking SPIRITUAL ABSOLUTION from the divine bc the very idea of putting you into harm's way is unforgivable, and then he breaks his prayer to murmur, "when the time comes, you will be thrown into his path again. andraste preserve me, i must send you to him. whatever happens, you will come back. allow me this. to believe anything else would… i can't."

my god, the buffet. these men are absolutely pathetic. i would DIE for them.

Wild how some blokes think women only go for the most boring, generic, triangular trust fund men when meanwhile, over in the Dragon Age fandom, we are absolutely feral for this parade of glorious mess

(I did Origins but am limited to ten images…but I see you, Alistair “Swooping is Bad” Theirin and Zevran, defo assassin defo farthest thing from a virgin Antivan Crow disaster bisexual. We also go feral for them.)

One week after Antonio got the powers from Li-Sar

Antonio talking while Ava is writing reports; "So. These new powers are like... Solar powers?"

Ava not paying much attention; "Most likely. We still think you'll need some time to control them. But I promise, we will make sure you're-"

Antonio with phone charger in their mouth, the other end connected to their phone; "Mmmh?"

"AGENT!!!"

"IT'S FOR SCIENCE!!!"

THIS IS FREAKING HILARIOUS

the three most overused jobs for horror movie protags who investigate strange happenings that have nothing to do with them out of a sense of professional obligation are journalist, writer/filmmaker, and cop (which is both overused AND lame). here are some suggestions for other possibilities:

insurance claims investigator

grad student using excessive research to procrastinate writing their thesis

tradesman hired to fix the spooky house’s pipes

mafia debt collector

normal debt collector

middle aged woman who just wants to get a refund. who in this place can she to talk to who can give her a refund, she has the receipt right here

(If Rook is romancing Lucanis, and Zevran is recruited)

Zevran: So, we were discussing your romantic liaison with Rook, yes?

Lucanis: (heavy sigh)

Zevran: When the pitter-patter of tiny Crow’s feet arrives--

Lucanis: (splutters) We are a little busy saving the world, Zevran!

Zevran: Oh, I agree, but one must think ahead.

Lucanis (Spite): Tiny blades. Tiny cloaks. Teach them. Hunt.

Zevran: See? The spirit understands.

Lucanis: This isn't-- we don't--

Zevran: Hush hush. Just let Uncle Zevran babysit once in a while.

The Flavio patreon pov has me wondering, for MCs who are close to Flavio and see him as a big brother/ closest parental figure they had due to their own sucking so bad, how would he feel about an MC who asked him if he would walk them down the aisle for their and Reid’s wedding?and would he be able to hold it together to give a speech at said wedding y or n?

He would be super touched to the point of ugly crying into his pillow! He would hold it together (barely) during the ceremony, but he would have to sneak out right after to stuff himself full of cake and cry in the bathroom.

Kinda similar to his own wedding in the sense, only that during his, he would be more in shock like ‘is it really happening??’ and the emotions would hit him full force after the ceremony

Was playing FMO (Favorite game btw) and had a thought occur to me. We know Mirren and Rez, but if for some reason they were never broken, how do you think Mirren'rez would be? Personality wise or just in general? I was trying to picture it but all I got mentally was Left Brain Right Brain by Bo Burnham. (Not very productive in the thought department while tired clearly lol)

I saw mention of a dlc for FMO and if you plan on making one I'm very excited for it. Hope you have a great day 🖤

When they split, Rez got the dominant personality and drive (Mirren is more passive and at first follows everything Rez does), but Mirren got the insight and skill, even their strength levels are different, higher in Mirren’s favor.

If they didn’t split and become one single construct, they’d resemble more an actual weapon than a human being, because the weaknesses they possess now would be nullified by the other half, making them what one might call a perfect weapon/soldier: obedient, following (obsessively so ) a single cause, with little thought of their own.

Yes, the DLC is already in the works in between PFM updates. Here’s the main screen (and two new ROs) if you’re curious:

Thank you, and I hope you have a lovely day as well!

HEY important, but there's a site called Citron Games which have been taking games off itch.io and uploading it to their site and claiming they're the publisher/copyright holder of them!

I've seen a lot of vns on there from devs I know/follow, but I've also seen some IFs on there as well.

I'd recommend checking the site to make sure your game isn't on there and if it is, issuing a DMCA takedown!

acircusofifs

in regards to this, under the cut is a list of all the games i found that i knew had a tumblr and have tagged them.

if anyone sees any I've missed then do feel free to add on !!

EDIT TO ADD: the website is fucking Headache Inducingly Ugly so I've only covered IFs for now, I'll check the VN section later / tomorrow

Chapter 5 uploaded. In it:

- continuation of the post-bar scene, feat Nino, Flavio, and Alan

- romance branches for Jewel, Reed, and Laurent

- Jewel’s early (as seen in the VN) confession (you need to leave with her in chapter 3 for the scene to unlock)

- Reed’s ‘regular’ confession (as seen in the VN) and two alternative scenes

- conversation with Rosaline, the aftermath of the meeting (plot is altered compared to the VN)

- scene with Rene, Joran, or Flavio (depending on your route)

- fixed mixed-up variables (vices) in earlier chapters

Please start a new game this time (or use a save file from max the beginning of chapter 3) because your old saves/variables might not work or work incorrectly.

What would ROs do if MC got unreasonably jealous over nothing, to the point where they started freaking out and demanded to see the ROs phone? Would any of them actually give the phone to calm MC down? What if this behavior would start repeating?

Reed would actually like it 🙈 and he’d probably make MC mad because of how poorly he’d try to hide how pleased he is with the uh extra attention

Jewel would try to reassure MC but also wonder if it’s her fault somehow, if she did something to make MC insecure

Laurent would be dumbfounded really because like what? him? with his 3 contacts saved and all of them work-related? Still, he’d care more about MC being upset over all that than anything. But also he doesn't even have a pass, so MC can check it w/out making a fuss

Nino was cheated on, so she gets it, she’s fine with MC checking her phone but not so fine with being accused and blamed, so they might argue over that

Flavio, like Nino, gets it, but also doesn’t because he’s like if anyone would cheat it would be MC, not the other way around, like make it make sense?? He’d let MC check his phone whenever tho and if MC did the same that’d actually reassure him a lot

Alan would be miffed because ‘what, do I look like a fuckboy?’ but also he kinda was so like, ‘fair enough.’ He defo has a lot of patience for the ppl he loves, so even if it pissed him off he’d just deal with it, but he’d demand to see MC’s phone in return, tit for tat and all

How ROs handle distracting thoughts about MC?

Jewel: tries to be rational and give herself a minute or two to just indulge then move on with her day, rinse repeat

Reed: he has to get it out of him so he just talks his coworker's ears off

Laurent: you should ask how the distracting thoughts handle him because he’s out of control lmao, much to Flavio’s (and anyone who’s watching him bumble around) amusement

Nino: beats up someone or something about it

Flavio: by doing 312313213 things at once and hoping his last two brain cells will be sufficiently distracted

Alan: doesn’t, or rather, can’t, because especially in the beginning everything he’d try to distract himself with would remind him of them, so now he just daydreams away

hey can u give me interactive fiction recs? i went down a rabbit hole with wayhaven and infamous and i need something to fill a void 🙏

Hi, sure i’ll list some of the blogs on here from ifs i’m playing and enjoying and I hope something will fill the void haha

If you like wayhaven try and check out:

@barbwritesstuff Bloodmoon and Thicker Than - the themes are different but you get vampires and werewolf in modern times creating a bond with others peers plus you have to solve mystery and navigate powerplays so they’re both very fun!

@vapolis Remember You Will Die - it’s a bit darker theme wise(cyberpunk/sci-fi), but the MC is so fun and unhinged and the RO’s as well haha

@vendetta-if Vendetta - again different theme but you have complicated family, you get cool powers and the fighting scenes are chef kiss imo

Instead if you liked infamous:

@pressplay-if Press Play - it’s music themed. It’s an esclusive interview with the members of a retired famous band after years since they disbanded. The author said it’s a tragedy and your MC is probably not gonna have an happy ending with the ROs so you’ve been warned haha

@apt502-if Apartment 502 - Kind of has a New Girl/Friends vibes. It’s a slice of life, you move to New York and get a new job, meet new people but you also lose someone… it has sooo many choices and opportunities for customising your MC, fyi your MC is not gonna have an easy time in the beginning just so you know

@loveandleases Love and Leases - slice of life, you get to move on after a break up and some family drama. Lots of nice ROs with different vibes and personality, also I’m a sucker for these sitcom like ifs cause I love to see how it goes and evolves!

I’m add some fantasy options ‘case I really like these too.

(Some of them have some warnings so i suggest read those before checking out the actual if!)

@virtues-end Virtue’s End - I’m a sucker for the aesthetic of this if, gives me gothic fantasy Middle Ages with a little bit of Bloodborne vibes sprinkled in there and I’ve been loving all the chapters (also Shea has me and my mc in a chokehold hahah)

@night-market-if The Night Market - I really admire and appreciate the world building of this if (also love all the hints at mythology and take on some religions in it) and how it’s not all so black and white for the characters, in the sense that even if I don’t agree with the choices of some characters I still get where they’re coming from and for me that’s characters well written that I enjoy!

@louroth Ouroboros - darker theme, apocalyptic vibes but with some magic and fantasy in there. I like the different MCs you can make and you also have some monster options for the ROs, if you like that!

@ataleofcrowns A tale of Crowns - The setting for this if is one of my faves and all the ROs are captivating yet diverse along with their backstory and I love the building of the MC as well (check out D storyline if you like the angst of A’s in Wayhaven, they’re very different but the angst hits good)

@coeluvr Crown of Ashes and Flame - I really like the setting and, again, you can seek vengence, if you want, and the characters are all interesting and you can get a nice dose of angst if that’s what you like

@llamagirl28 The Bastard of Camelot - again really enjoy the theme of Arthurian legends and the spin the author chose. You get a lot of options for the ROs to pick from and you can also choose the type of relationship you’ll have with your parents AND you get a dragon (read the warning before playing and make sure you’re comfortable with what you’re gonna read)

@intimidatingpuffinstudios The Soulstone War Series - again fantasy with magic, dragons, an interesting plot, you get a donkey and the RO’s are all hot hahaha

@fallenhero-rebirth The Fallen Hero Series - superhero themed but in an apocalyptic world and you play as the villain! It was one of the first if’s I’ve played and I still replay it every once in a while cause I really like it!

I’d have added more but the list was already long so maybe I’ll do a part 2 hahah!
