Something’s cooking 💋
Awww do you remember this moment ?
just a remined i am always more active on Instagram !
hi chino!! how are you doing?
i was wondering, since on one of your lastest ask you said nath had a little experience with girls in hs, had any of the other boys been with girls before candy?
i hope you're having a great day! take care<3
Hello ! I keep being asked about this for everyone, so I'm gonna answer it, but sorry I am still gonna keep it simple Crushes who had experience before Candy -Castiel -Nathaniel (the ask i already answered for him is here ) -Armin -Rayan -Eric -Dake -Priya -Hyun Crushes who had no experience before Candy -Kentin -Lysandre
And as I said also in a previous post about characters and there previous or possible relationships here However we are speaking of otome games here, and no matter what the crush's past relationships are, at the end of the day their only true love is your character and no one else.
Hi Chino 💓
You know My Candy Love is completely over but we haven't had the opportunity to find out what some specific High School characters do as adults
What do you imagine characters like Deborah(Especially her) Dake Peggy Li Charlotte Lucy etc. doing as adults?
Hello !
Debrah found a little job has as host at her local radio station. Still tries to do music of her own on her free time. Dake works part time at some holydays resort. He escorts tourists on boat for various sea activities, surf, snorkeling etc... The rest of his free time he enjoys himself or works and gives a hand to organisations for preservations and research of the sea life.
Peggy works as some people journalist/paparazzi obviously Li works as a surgeon assistant. Charlotte I'm not sure about Charlotte, but I would say something like in a bank or accountant. Lucy Im pretty sure Lucy doesnt really found a job she really likes and can commit to, she just goes around various little jobs here and there, sometimes not working for short periods. Would def like to maybe find something with children. I can't be listing and doing every single character though sorry xD

(Was going to send this as an anon to not be tagged as a Nevra-obsessed girl but the option was gone😭lol). So yeah, another question about Nevra. You mentioned that Nevra gives away different versions of why he lost his eye, so, is the story about Shaïtan real or what is the true version? Was he insecure about it? Don't mind ANE, I'd love to hear you canon :). Also, one more thing now for MCL if it's possible... Nath was ambiguous about having a gf before meeting Candy, was he lying?
Ahah no problem, with the amount of time I take to answer no one will know (well, now they do. ) 1> Yes, Shaïtan is the real reason Nevra lost his eye. But losing his eye in trying to tame a familiar (even if a wild and dangerous one ) always nipped a bit at his ego, that it was not on some epic battle against evil ennemies.
So yeah he went with saying something random to everyone who asked him and legends and rumors build up on top of that. Which he was amused to keep going on and to mess with people. 2> You mean Nath HSL ? He did have a few girlfriends but it never lasted long (few days to two weeks maximum ). They never really picked his interest after seeing each other over some dates, so he would just break up with them. So nothing really specific to share about this, its just some "teenage experiences" I would say. (now if the question is if he did have any sexual experience before candy, yes, one or twice from those dates.) For CL, well obviously he was seeing girls, they would not pick his interest much more at this time neither but the difference with HSL is that at this time he enjoyed having them around as ONS. ( yeah sorry he did have his heartless fuckboi time ;;; )
Hi there. Have a nice day.
If Valkyon turned evil what would be the reason for that?
Hello Valkyon is a very righteous character, so I think for him to turn evil could happen only if he was to dramatically lose the people he loves most. Even more if he were to lose them as a consequence of trying to do the "right" thing.
Hi Chino! I'd like to know if Nathaniel and Kim liked each other and if there was anything more than friendship between them?
Hi No nothing hapenned between Nath and Kim, they are just friends.
I get a crazy amount of similar asks. 🥲🥲🥲🥲 In general, these are otome games and no matter what the crush's past is, at the end of the day their only true love is your character and they certainly won't be cheating neither.
Hola No, Leiftan nunca ha sido interesado por Koori, o qualquiera otra persona. Es obsessionado con Erika.
Recibo una cantidad halucinante de asks similares. 🥲🥲🥲🥲 De manera general, se trata de juegos otome y no importa cuál sea el pasado del crush, al final del día, su único amor verdadero es tu personaje y ciertamente no les van a poner los cuernos tampoco.
Bonjour, Merci 😊 Non, Nathaniel et Castiel ne sont pas amoureux, ne l'ont jamais été et ne le seront jamais. Et il n'y a surement pas eu de "tromperie" pour Sucrette. Ils sont devenus amis avec le temps. Et ils sont hetero et n'ont d'yeux que pour Sucrette.
Je reçois un nombre fou de questions similaires. 🥲🥲🥲🥲 De manière générale, on parle de jeux otome. Peu importe le passé du crush, au bout du compte, leur seul véritable amour est votre personnage et ils ne vont bien sur pas la tromper.
Hi Chino🤗 I grew up with the My Candy Love saga and I am a big fan of your work! I also had a few questions and I would be very grateful if you took the time to answer them.
I can’t wait to play My Candy Love New Gen and see what you have prepared for us! I wanted to know if you have a favorite character/a character that you are most proud of?
Also, I don't know if you’re aware but the My Candy Love community is more active than ever right now, especially on Twitter!! What do you think about this?
The Nathaniel x Castiel ship is also very popular right now and many players still think that there is a hidden love story between the two haha😄 You, who know the game better than anyone: I wanted to know if there was any truth to this? I know a lot of people headcanon Castiel as bisexual and Nathaniel as pansexual… What do you think? And could this be canon?
Have a good day !💞
Hi First of all, thanks a lot ! 🥰 I can't wait for everyone to play too, even if now that it's getting close I'm gonna get stressed too ahah.
I'll avoid saying who are my fav characters because then there is always stupid rumors going around sorry 🥲
As for all the activity on Twitter, unfortunately it is a social media I am not fond of using myself, but I am very grateful for it and I keep an eye on it even if I don't post ! 💕
Cast x Nath, I think I've answered that so much already in the past. 😂 Castiel and Nath have absolutely 0 love story between them. They just became friends with time. And they are nor bi nor pan, I am afraid they are both just Candysexual.
Hiii Chino! How are you?
I wanted to ask a question that only you can answer: I saw that you talked about Nath and Amber parents recently, which reminded me that in 2013, MCL official Facebook page posted a photo of Amber with the caption "Amber Jacott" and because of that, many thought that Jacott was the surname of these blond brothers. However, LL was launched and we discovered that the last name of these blondes that we love so much was Carello. But then a Fandom theory emerged that Carello was the surname of mother Adelaide and that Jacott was the surname of father Francis (which the brothers decided to remove from the name because of the hurt they both still feel for this grumpy old man).
So I wanted to know: is this theory correct?
Hi !
So this is gonna be a very quick and disapointing answer, but to this day I have no idea why that image was posted with the name "Jacott" 🤣😅
It's never been a chosen name for any character. There is no theory or anything behind it.
Hello, Chino! Thks for answer me about Nath's personality!
I would like to say that I love Ambre's growths too, she is really a queen. ❤️
In the episode 40, Adelaide looks worried about Nath and I start wonder if his dad at some point regrets his actions.
Hi !
Thank you, I do love Amber too :D
Nath’s parents are both terrible. I would say Adelaide is less « worse » ( her husband certainly didn’t help her to be a better person neither. Still not an excuse though.)
But i mean I think sometimes she feels guilt and sadness. She still loves her child in her twisted way too. So mayyybe in the future she would be able to reach to them and try to fix things and make amend.
I think at some point, she would end up divorcing too.
Their father is still an asshole and I think he would only realize all his mistakes on his death bed.
hi! i know it must be kinga boring for you recive questions about castiel bc ppl are obsessed ober him for years but like the other person who asked you a few days ago, i follow you (and ply mcl) for like 10 years and ever since day one my fav boy has been tiel. till this day at the age of 22 he's my favorite and my comfort boy so i joke that he's not a fictional character anymore for me and that i know him personally at this point lol
with that being said, i bet you can imagine that over the years i've been elaborating his personality beyond what the game gives us but he's your boy, you created him therefore you know him and your word is canon, so i'd like to ask a few stuff!! nothing too big, dont worry but here we go.
tiel is an amazing songwriter and since he's very emotional not very good at express it (he does it a lot better now that he's an adult 🥹) i bet his lyricism is very deep and poetic so i have this headcanon that he at first wouldn't like taylor swift because obviously lol but then he payed attention to her lyrics and ends up basically being a swiftie since he likes her writing a lot. what you think about that?
and what kind of music crowstorm sings? like there are any bands that you listen and think "hey this would be in a crowstorm album!" (i have a playlist with this name btw lol). im probably wrong on this one but since this is my fav band i like to think that catfish and the bottlemen are the irl crowstorm, musically speaking
and the last one: another thing that gives me so much comfort is the lystiel friendship. not having present parents, being so closed off i know that lysander is such an important presence on tiel's life because he was basically the only close person he had (specially after the debrah fiasco); if lys didnt had taken the farm and went to college and bla bla bla do you think he would still be part of the band with castiel? im not sure if im mixing the canon with a fanfic i read a while ago (lol) but the band was more of a fun thing to lys, right? he liked writing most (i always imagined him getting into a literature degree or something like this). i also like to think that he helps tiel with lyrics at times, even if he's out of the band (in my head the canon is that they are best friends and pretty close till this day, i pretend lys never left our lives just like armin)
anyways sorry for this big ask 😭 i dont even know if you will read it all but if you do, thank you! and dont feel like you have to answer, i know its too much its just that mcl is my hyperfixation till this day like for real, i have a fanfic that i write still and i even plan on making it into a book sometime. except from the main characters (who is my oc) all the characters will be based on the game's ones :)
ilysm take care and stay hydrated!!
Hellow !
Aww thank you so much and for all your love for Castiel ^^
What a long ask, I'll try to answer in order.
Castiel being a swiftie. No sorry, I don't think he would be. If candy likes her, I'm pretty sure he would try to listen. Also he is an open minded person for sure, so I'm sure he would be curious to listen and study what all the hype is about, it could also help as some sort of far away inspiration, but I don't see him being a fan.
What kind of songs Crowstorm sings This is hard to answer because my musical knowledge is pretty limited and I'm sure I would miss on lot of potential groups or singers that would fit well. And it would require too much research time to have a real detailed and clear answer, but I still did check a bit and here is a little list of songs/groups that I think would have a fitting vibe for Crowstorm
City of the dead - Hollywood Undead The worst in me - bad omens Paranoid - I prevail Trauma Just pretend - Bad omens Ice Nine Kills - A grave mistake Catfish and the bottlemen sounds nice but I think its a bit too soft for what I imagine for Crowstorm.
What is his voice like I think something similar to this (not necessarily the song itself, just the voice. )
bonus, I think this song is so so fitting for Castiel's breakup song, I love it. Dial Tone - Catch your breath
Castiel and Lys friendship. It was'nt mentionned much in UL/LL because I didnt wish to bring too much drama by mentioning Lys when he was not there for the players, but of course Lys and Cast always kept in touch. It is very clearly mentionned in Lys' AL that they keep in touch, that Lys helps Castiel write songs and Cast also like to come to his farm to have a break and spend time together. You should play it if you havent, you'll have a good chunk of Cast and Lys friendship :) However yeah I can confirm that Lys would not like to do it serisouly and professionally, but he'll be all the way around to support and help Cast.
Hi Chino, hope you're doing well and enjoying your birthday month <3. I know that you weren't in charge of ANE, and I'm sorry if this question might've been answered before... are there any 'random' facts about Nevra that you ever thought about? My heart isn't asking for anything like too deep -- just like, I don't know, if he keeps his room a mess or in order? Favorite drink? Anything will satisfy my heart, really lol have a nice day <3
Hi !
(aww thank you. You are exposing me on how long i take to answer my asks ahah 🤣 )
I did give a few infos on Nevra here, and there already. I'm not sure what more I can say right now... sorry ><
Nevra used to tell a different story everytime someone would ask him how he lost his eye. Just for fun and to mess around , and also because his ego was a bit hurt it didnt happen during some epic battle. But I'm pretty sure this was (at leas slightly) mentionned in the story.
Also I did imagine his father be the actual leader of the vampires clan, but like.. more classy and fierce 😅
Hi, how are you? 😊I'm excited to see the NerGen but I would like to know: I adore Nathaniel, but I confess that sometimes I have difficulties understanding his true personality. What is he really like? Is he more the Nath of HS, College or LL? And where does the inspiration to create him come from? Thank you very much! 💕 💕 💕
Hi ! Thank you, I'm excited too XD Can't wait but still lots of work to deal with.
Nathaniel is, of course, a bit of all those versions you meet through the game.
He is a good person, no doubt about that. And you meet this part of him in HSL. But you also learn he is not always an angel neither. It's specifically pointed out in the episode when you learn a bit about his and Cas' childhoods, where you learn he could be a meanie with his sister. So at this point, he is still a teenager and his father has been controlling him so much that it makes it impossible for him to experiment and experience during adolescent crisis (to name it like that; things lots of teenagers can do at that stage, like they will stay outside after curfew, some might try a bit of alchool or smoke, have bad frequentations etc... ) -Read this with a grain of salt, I am not saying that IRL all teenagers do this, or that they have to do that etc... Just that it is a common development stage for most youngsters- So as young adult in CL he gets all this freedom and the possibility to try all those things but with no one to help love or guide him (like any good parental figure is supposed to do). So as we say in french, he is in "roue libre", kinda out of control, and it goes too far. (I imagine it came gradually of course, not everything all of a sudden.) -Here again, it is something that can happen, and that you might have witnessed if you have had friends with very severe parents, they sometimes snap when they reach majority -
By LL he is much better, and starts to find himself but he still has lot of patchup to do, which can explain a bit of chaotic behaviors at times. But he is a good boi, and at the end of the day he will be fine and will keep bettering himself, both for him and Candy. (It’s also mentionned he started to see a therapist to help him in this process.) -side note : I sometimes see comments of people who are angry at a character for reacting this way or that way. I would just like to say that for a same event happening to 10 people, all those persons can react and deal with it very differently, (sometimes even in opposite reactions). The way you might deal with whatever event or trauma is valid, but it is not the only universal way for all -
Hi! I wonder if there are any interesting things about Nevra that you could tell us, I mean maybe something you wanted to show in the game but didn't have a chance?
Hi !
I’m not sure what has been shown or changed in game at this point so…I don’t know if this was tackled in the story, or if it’s become irrelevant.
But here we go, for vampires in Eldarya, blood will taste different depending of the feelings of the person being bitten at that moment. And usually vampires have a preferred taste/feeling for blood.
For Nevra, he prefers the blood of persons feeling love and pleasure. This partially explains his womanizer attitude :) (which does not mean he had feelings for whoever was bitten, don’t get it mixed up !)
(Karenn used to prefer fear. )
Hope this little snippet was interesting !
i am so glad you are back! i really missed your headcanons. I would like to make a request, do you have any hcs for Nath in UL? ^^
Nathaniel UL Headcanons (Filling the Gap between HSL and UL)
N/A : Hey dear ! Took so long for that request because somehow it showed at the bottom of the request box. Since you've been vague enough, I took the freedom to write about Nathaniel in UL before Candy's return (I feel like this part and his transformation have been really looked over in the game). I am working on prompts (whenever I get time) about the LI in UL so unless the request is about a specific situation, I keep the headcanons for these little one-shots. Hope you like it darling !
Let’s set the bases with where we left off in HSL
• Candy helped him get emancipated, as we know but it’s also the first time he truly takes control of his life. This was like a major milestone in his life.
• Even though he’s free from him, the damage done by his father persists (as we see during graduation day in HSL). Nathaniel still carries the pressure, the expectations, and the anger.
• He moves into his own small apartment and gets Blanche.
• At this point, he still works hard in school, but there’s a weight lifting off his shoulders.
• He graduates with excellent grades, valedictorian, great motivational speech, but he feels strangely empty.
• With no father to fear and no academic chains holding him down, he realises: "I don’t know who I am without all of this." And that’s when he doesn’t apply for business school or anything like that but he applies for something the actually cares about : literature.
• He’s accepted into Anteros Academy, and he tells himself that college will be a fresh start.
• He cuts his hair shorter, trades his button-ups for casual shirts and jackets. He’s a new man really.
• And everyone from high school (Alexy, Rosa, Priya, even Castiel) assumes he’s finally free from his chains. But Nathaniel has never felt more lost.
⸻
Year 1 of UL : The Breakup & The Downward Spiral Begins
The Long-Distance relationship (the fail of the year)
• Candy and Nathaniel start university still together.
• He tries so hard to keep things normal, to not worry her, to act like he’s doing fine on his own.
• But he isn’t. He’s struggling, feeling isolated, and the pressure is still crushing him.
• He doesn’t talk about it. He convinces himself: « She has her own life now. She doesn’t need to hear me complain in addition to it. »
• Every phone call becomes shorter, emptier. Messages go unanswered for longer. Nathaniel starts feeling like he’s losing her. But he doesn’t really tries to hold onto her. He starts to feel like it’s pointless.
The Breakup (during pre-exam season because I’m horrible)
• Candy brings up how different things feel between them.
• Nathaniel hates where the conversation is going but doesn’t fight it.
• When she says « Maybe we should take a break » he just accepts it.
• Candy was expecting a reaction—something, anything. But Nathaniel just answers with « If that’s what you want. »
• He doesn’t say he’s hurting. He doesn’t say he’s scared. He just lets her go. But that night, he stares at his phone, reading old messages.
• And he doesn’t text her. He doesn’t call. He tells himself « This is fine. »
• If he doesn’t acknowledge the pain, maybe it won’t exist.
• But the consequences of this breakups are impossible to avoid : it’s really sad but Candy was the only person he ever truly let in (Armin was the second but it’s different). And now? She’s gone.
• After everything that happened with his family, his mind makes the shortcuts on its own : « Being vulnerable means getting hurt. » Or « If I let someone in, they will leave me. »
• So he stops letting people in, period.
He’s so emotionally unavailable at this point, like don’t even try.
• He doesn’t start seeing other people right away but at some point it happens (I mean he’s a brooding handsome blonde, of course he draws attention c’mon) but iIf a girl starts getting attached, he shuts it down.
• The moment a girl says « I like you » or asks him personal questions, he’s done.
• Melody learns this the hard way. She tries to understand him, to fix him (I just know this girl didn’t drop it in college and when she heard he was single again, she gave it another go)
• But he shuts her down so brutally that she never tries again. She’s bitter about it, and they never speak again (fucking finally).
• He starts gaining a reputation as someone who is cold, distant.
⸻
Year 2 of UL : The Turning Point (where it goes wrong)
• Nathaniel has been feeling off for months, he just feels numb. Nothing went the way he wanted and his college years were not the new beginning he expected. He almost feels that it’s even worst than high school (because this time, he doesn’t even have a goal and certainly not one as simple as getting good grades and fill up paperwork for Mrs Shermansky)
• Which is why, after months of repressing everything, he snaps.
• He gets into his first fight at a party (Kim invites him to one as it was thrown by the sport club of Anteros, where a friend of hers is a member of) and it isn’t just about the drunk guy who provoked him.
• It’s about his father, his past, and every feeling he buried. Kim has front row seat to his crash out. But so do Alexy, Rosalya and Priya.
• He’s never felt anything like this before. There’s a thrill, the rush of finally fighting back. He feels guilty when he realises it but he wants to feel it again (it is the first time he’s felt something real in months)
• Some people are rebuked by his behaviour, some don’t understand it (like the old crew). Some guys, however, are impressed. And that’s how the mess starts (because I hate how the og script based all of his arc on some bad meeting in an alley, it seems too « easy » idk)
• Word spreads fast. He starts getting invites to more parties, meeting people who aren’t exactly students. The guys he meets are street-smart, reckless, and shady.
• They introduce him to gambling or other stuff, and eventually the world of small-time crime (and easy money).
• He starts running "small favours" for them (carrying things, keeping an eye on situations) He finds control in chaos.
• Unlike his family, unlike Candy, unlike his old friends, these people don’t expect him to be « good » (which he believes he isn't or not enough). They only expect him to be useful. And for the first time, he feels like he belongs somewhere.
• His fights become frequent (sometimes on campus), but strategic. He doesn’t fight just for the thrill anymore. He fights to prove something.
• His grades start slipping, but he doesn’t care.
• Girls start paying more attention to him, and he quickly realises: he can have anyone he wants. Even if it’s just for the night.
• Alexy, Rosalya, and Priya notice the change. He’s quieter, colder, and more distant. That’s when they start distancing themselves from him.
⸻
Year 3 of UL : The Repercussions and Playboy Era
• Alexy and Rosalya have officially given up on him. Priya still wants to believe he’ll come back to his senses.
• But he sees the way they avoid him on campus, the way they whisper when he walks by. Even Castiel’s look on him as change : it’s still sheer distaste and condescension but also something that vaguely looks like worry.
• He doesn’t care. (He does, but he pretends not to. He’s burned too many bridges.)
• Nathaniel proves himself to the shady guys he’s running with.
• He’s not just some dumb fighter, he’s smarter than this. He helps them plan better, avoid cops, and move things more discreetly. He likes the power and control he has over people now just as much as he enjoys the adrenaline rushes.
• But at the same time, he knows he’s in too deep and it starts to scare him a bit.
• He argues with his mother over Amber’s health. He tells her she’s failing both her kids. The argument ends badly. His mother stops sending him money.
• Nathaniel officially cuts ties with his family (except for Amber).
• Kim is the only person he has left. She’s the only person he trusts. (And by association, Violette too, but she’s a bit scared of him even though she doesn’t believe he’s a bad person)
• He crashes at her place often, sometimes covered in bruises, sometimes just exhausted. She doesn’t push, doesn’t judge but she also doesn’t pity him.
• She reminds him of who he was before everything went to shit.
• By this point, most girls on campus know what he’s like. But some still try. They think they’ll be the one to fix him.
• They’re wrong (and they ended up heartbroken or ghosted, often both)
⸻
Year 4 of UL : Candy’s Return
• His reputation is set in stone now : He’s now known as a troublemaker. Even professors keep an eye on him (even though he hardly ever goes on campus if not for his frequent hookups)
• The thrill of his activities isn’t enough anymore. His job is keeping him busy, but he feels hollow.
• But he keeps going because what else is there to do? What’s the point in doing anything else when everyone already turned their back on him ?
• When he sees Candy is that alley, he doesn’t expect her. He isn’t prepared. And when he sees her, it hits him like a punch to the gut. Especially in such circumstances (being harassed by two guys he knows and works with)
• He plays it cool. He smirks, acts like nothing’s changed (but he feels like he’s about to crash out). A part of him wants to push her away immediately. The other part? Wants her to stay.
• But he knows if she stays, she might see through him. And if she sees through him, she’ll see what he’s become. And he doesn’t want her to look at him like she’s disappointed.
• Alexy and Rosalya warn Candy about Nathaniel. They tell her he’s not the person she knew. Kim doesn’t warn her, but she tells Candy: “If you’re going to talk to him, don’t expect the boy from high school.” And he sure isn’t.
I think that it would have been great to explore more what happened to Nathaniel during that time (especially if he was Candy’s LI). Their breakup wasn’t just an emotional loss but also a trigger (even if she was just a friend too). Nathaniel’s entire spiral clearly comes from a fear of being vulnerable (which lead to being emotionally constipated), a need for control (which leads to fights, crime, and reckless behaviour) and a desire to be needed & respected (which makes him seek validation in all the wrong places). Perhaps seasons this with a bit of fear of abandonment and you got the perfect angsty love story with an emotionally unavailable blonde. Anyway, I hoped you liked this (I literally tried to go psychologist mode on this one, so I hope it's not too biased but yeah, I think it's easy to tell I really liked Nathaniel character and quite thought about it) <3
