How did you decide which characters would be gender selectable vs fixed? That’s always been so fascinating to me!!

I actually couldn't decide 😅 I knew I wanted to have an even amount of gender ROs and needed 1 more boy and 1 more girl. But I couldn't decide: did I want to stick with writing Vivian or explore Vincent? Did I want R to be the rebellious bad boy or bad girl?

So I didn't decide! I wanted to write both versions of those characters 😄 and here we are. Overwhelmed lololololol

I initially had the silly idea of having all the cisgender ROs be gender selectable. Then I started learning how to code this shit and realized that was NOT going to happen 😆 I still kind of love the idea of f!Gabe, f!Jack, and gender-swapped Emersons... but it was scrapped way before it was ever serious. Nothing about personality would have changed, but too many backstories and childhoods needed to be assessed and changed depending on gender. Like, fascinating stuff that I would love to write and explore — but it's just too much writing. There's a whole crime plot waiting on me!

Like, the childhood Gabe had would spit f!Gabe out quite differently... I kinda don't wanna think about it 😐 since I won't commit to writing it anyway. m!Jessie's childhood would be super different from a spiritual standpoint... f!Jack would be under a lot of pressure from her dad's side of the family to fit in and be popular... The Emersons would have to be completely — just completely rewritten oh my gosh. This I actually do kinda wanna explore on my own 'cause I think it'll give me a fuller read on their parents. Plus, how does m!Heidi's character develop since his dad actually gives a shit what he does and invests in his future?? What's a f!Curt like with basically no familial attention and oversight??? I have no idea but I kind of want to!! 🤣

I loved this update! So glad we can finally meet all the ROs. Gotta say, I am intrigued by what tidbits you’ve given us of Langley. We can’t pursue him romantically so does that mean that we can be each other’s beards? That way we can pursue Sam and Vivian (and even Warren) while still being kept safe from the eyes of society, and people will leave poor Langley alone? If not that’s perfectly fine but your story has gotten my brain gears turning 😋

hmmm....who’s to say, anything could happen;) It all depends on how your mc chooses to or not to form relationships with Langley and the gang. I will say that the RO’s(and that includes Hugh) aren’t static. If mc isn’t “pursuing” them or spending time with them, they’re still in the world, living their lives, pursuing their own goals and wants. And that an “end” or “epilogue” with any of the characters isn’t dependent on another, a beard might be useful for mcs in love with Sam or Vivian but there’s always a path forward without one.....now whether that potential beard is Langley or someone else is up to you to find out;)

Thank you so much for the love<3

this toxicity is awesome! the fe:a fandom should just start calling each other pedophile apologists now, because that's obviously an appropriate thing to call those who disagree with us now!

Yeah. Sorry about that. :/ I really do try to keep the toxicity on my blog to a minimum, but... wow. Yeah, I really do hope they learn from this experience in a positive way and learn that throwing words like that around at people they barely know devalues that word.

Like I said, having a different opinion is fine. No one is going to agree on things 100%. But making up things that aren’t true just so the accuser can save face and then when faced with evidence to the contrary (with context) saying that it’s implied isn’t. That’s putting words into someone’s mouth and if there is evidence against that implication it should be shown.

Sorry... I’m still kind of processing all of what happened. I’m more stunned than anything else.

I’ve seen much much worse out of fandoms before. This is honestly not that bad, nor has it effected how I go about my business.

I really do just hope that people learn from this in a positive way and are more welcoming to others in the FE fandom. Especially new comers that may be scared to dive into the more difficult games or worried about what ships are ‘right’.
