What color is the interior of each character’s house, and does the carpets match the drapes (literally)
Tbh it was so fun looking up stuff for this <3
M:
They have ivory-colored walls and either black or dark burgundy furniture (and maybe a chandelier or two)
Would have a small bookcase in the living room, though it's not as full as they wish it was lol
Not too many decorations either. Maybe a few abstract paintings and a plant or two next to the front door or in a glass vase on the coffee table, but that's about it!
I can see them going for black lace curtains and dark red rugs in the living room
Kia:
Lives in an apartment as of now with light beige walls and brown or sage green furniture (+ a few warmly lit lamps and string lights scattered throughout the areas)
Their walls have a good amount of photographs, maybe three posters of bands they like, and nature paintings hanging around
Would probably just settle for simple white or ivory curtains and rugs in the living area and bedroom
C:
(Also) lives in an apartment as of now with white walls, grey or black furniture, and several pendant lights in every room
They have a mirror in the living room and in the hallways + a singular minimalist painting, but other than that, they don't care much to decorate
Sheer white curtains with a white, beige, and navy-blue rug in the living and dining areas
Altair:
Blue-grey wallpaper with white or light grey furniture as well as a few tall lamps in every room
They few music posters and photographs hanging up on the walls, along with a few fake plants and a bookshelf above the sofa in the living room
Dark blue lace curtains with light beige rugs in the living and bedroom(s)
Lucian:
Lives in an apartment with white walls, light cream-colored furniture, and string lights in multiple areas that change colors
Has several smaller band posters (both his own and others) along with polaroids and photo booth strips of his friends on the walls. Also a black record player and a large, dark blue blanket in the living room
No curtains, only blinds, along with a fluffy grey rug under the coffee table
Astri:
Cream colored walls, white or light sage green furniture, and candles or pendant lights in almost every room
Hangs up a lot of her own paintings as well as photos of her family. She also has floral throw pillows on the sofa and a good number of small plants on shelves and on the coffee table!
Sheer, white curtains and a large cream shag rug in the living room
“Don’t you think this is a bit unprofessional?”
Hiiii Moria hiiiii
My friend just graduated and they CRAVE ALISTAIR CONTENT PLEASE MORE ALISTAIR CONTENT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
tell them to go on the alistair tag and scroll
Is he being weird? He's probably being weird.
He can't help himself. He's in a position to reach out his hand, so he reaches. If he's doing more than he usually would, well, some people have greater need than others.
Hurts his heart, seeing someone in that kind of pain, who the world's made wary and brittle.
So he'll keep extending a hand until and unless they tell him to stop, cause if he gives up, perhaps next time would have been the time they were ready to accept.
Doesn't matter how long it takes. If they call, he'll be waiting for them.
when orion finally gets to hit and has his first good night's sleep of the entire tour #PussyPutHisAssToSleepNowTheyCallinMeNyquil
Lucian come over here and make out with me NOWWWWWW
LMFAOO
I don’t really know if you want me to answer this in character since ik it’s been some time </3 I’ll just put it under the cut
Is your icon AI? It looks very AI. Are you using AI in your work as well then?
Nope. No AI was used towards the project at all, and with the icon specifically, I have a Speedpaint of it right here (I assume you mean this? If we’re talking about my PFP specifically, that’s from a different game)
Ignore how messy it is, I went through a few different choices before settling on the actual thing, and if you want recordings of the different chapter banners, I can provide those too.
I know that verifying writing is a little hard, but I will say this: I feel like generative AI is a cheap way to make something creatively, and even if it means that my work isn’t the best, I’d rather have that than something that wasn’t made by my hand.
I wouldn’t say my writing or my art are the best, but I do them on my own anyways because I love doing it, and just generating stuff takes that process away for the most part.
(Also, if it helps, I can send screenshots of me writing out plans on paper and talking to friends on discord about my progress)
Also, it's important to remember that AI took things from us. Sometimes it looks like AI, because AI is copying real people's art styles and writing styles. Novem would never do that, and we have discussed their writing and I have offered advice plenty of times.
TYSM Opal 🫶🫶 and yea, one of the other issues with AI is the fact that it requires stuff from other creators (often used without consent) :((
Their complicated relationship has always broken my heart… 💔
How to write smut ?
(@urfriendlywriter | req by @rbsstuff @yourlocalmerchgirl anyone under the appropriate age, please proceed with caution :') hope this helps guys! )
writing smut depends on each person's writing style but i think there's something so gut-wrenchingly beautiful about smut when it's not very graphic and vivid. like., would this turn on a reader more?
"he kissed her, pulling her body closer to him."
or this?
"His lips felt so familiar it hurt her heart. His breathing had become more strained; his muscles tensed. She let herself sink into his embrace as his hands flattened against her spine. He drew her closer."
(Before proceeding further, these are all "in my opinion" what I think would make it better. Apply parts of the advice you like and neglect the aspects you do not agree with it. Once again I'm not saying you have to follow a certain type of style to write smut! Creative freedom exists for a reason!)
One may like either the top or the bottom one better, but it totally depends on your writing to make it work. Neither is bad, but the second example is more flattering, talking literally. (Here is me an year after writing this post, i think, either is amazing, depending on the context. the type of book you're writing, your writing style and preferences!)
express one's sensory feelings, and the readers will automatically know what's happening.
writing, "her walls clenched against him, her breath hitching with his every thrust" is better than writing, "she was about to cum".
(edit: once again, hi, it's me. Either is amazing depending on ur writing style. Everything at the end is about taste.)
here are some vocabulary you can introduce in your writing:
whimpered, whispered, breathed lightly, stuttered, groaned, grunted, yearned, whined, ached, clenched, coaxed, cried out, heaved, hissed
shivering, shuddering, curling up against one's body, squirming, squirting, touching, teasing, taunting, guiding, kneeling, begging, pining, pinching, grinding,
swallowing, panting, sucking in a sharp breath, thrusting, moving gently, gripped, biting, quivering,
nibbling, tugging, pressing, licking, flicking, sucking, panting, gritting, exhaling in short breaths,
wet kisses, brushing soft kisses across their body (yk where), licking, sucking, teasing, tracing, tickling, bucking hips, forcing one on their knees
holding hips, guiding the one on top, moving aimlessly, mindlessly, sounds they make turn insanely beautiful, sinful to listen to
some adverbs to use: desperately, hurriedly, knowingly, teasingly, tauntingly, aimlessly, shamelessly, breathlessly, passionately, delicately, hungrily
he sighed with pleasure
her skin flushed
he shuddered when her body moved against his
he planted kisses along her jawline
her lips turned red, messy, kissed and flushed.
his hands were on his hair, pulling him.
light touches traveled down his back
words were coiled at his throat, coming out as broken sobs, wanting more
he arched his back, his breath quivering
her legs parted, sinking into the other's body, encircling around their waist.
+ mention the position, how they're being moved around---are they face down, kneeling, or standing, or on top or on bottom--it's really helpful to give a clear picture.
+ use lustful talk, slow seduction, teasing touches, erratic breathing, give the readers all while also giving them nothing. make them yearn but DO NOT PROLONG IT.

finally finishing final playtests ! chapter 5 is
nearly 200k words 🥲
has a soft lock in (the first lock in infamous!) (but soft?!)
smut
has the most stat dependent dialogue in any chapter
the most plot info ever revealed so far!
The most thorough playtests I’ve ever had to do for a chapter! In the homestretch rn! the surprise drop is right around the corner and im positively buzzing (even if my fingers hurt from playtesting the past 2 weeks)
Happy birthday, Altair!! (+ small ask event)
(This date was purely a coincidence 😵💫)
Anyways, in honor of chapter 1, I’ve decided to pass the phone over and let them (and maybe the rest of the team, if you so desire) answer some things for a change!
They might be a bit hesitant, but they’ll do their best to answer as much as they can <3
NOTE: I’ll most likely be able to distinguish the difference, but it would be helpful if people specified who the ask is directed to, just in case you want to reach someone specific (including me). Also, I might start doing stuff like this with each chapter if people like it and participate ^^

Catch me if you can, Mr.Holmes
OK OK so the writing for chapter 1 is pretty much done unless I choose to add/change some stuff again 🥹 now I just gotta wait for one of my friends to beta read and make sure everything looks good as a whole, and then it’s ready to go!!
That being said, hopefully I’ll have it out within the next few days, maybe next week or so </3

“You shouldn’t be smoking, Nozuki.”
