Guide for 🌙 Blood Moon 🌙 IF by @barbwritesstuff : Chapter 1
I don't know how many chapter guides I'll actually put together, but while it's fun I thought I'd do this while code diving in one of my favourite IFs!! Options without implications, with clear implications, or that increase/decrease a stat by less than 5% are not included (for my own sanity). Have fun! 🥰
Choosing your conviction
#Protect your pack at all costs. Without them you are lost. [Marco +10]
#Don't let the moon or the wolf inside control you. You're a person, not a mindless monster. [Vicky +10]
#Be kind. You wouldn't have survived if your new pack hadn't taken you in. [Ed +10]
#Survive. No matter what happens, survive. [Carrie +10]
#There are no rules. [Carrie, Ed, Vicky, Marco: +3 each]
First conversation with Marco
Octopus sex: "Just rip it off and pass it over.”
#"That's disgusting. We're meant to be on look out, not talking about animal sex." [Marco -5%]
#"Nah. It's not octopuses. They're vanilla compared to ducks. I have two words for you: 'Corkscrew Penis'." [Marco +5%]
#"Tell me again why I'm stuck working with you?" [Marco -5%]
Overprotective Alpha: "... I love the Alpha, he gave me a chance when no one else would blah-blah-blah, but this is crazy."
#"I don't mind. It's nice spending time with you." [Marco +15%]
Meeting the stray (Carrie)
Found her: You slow to a stop as you find what you're looking for, crouched between two parked cars.
#No talking. Just attack. [Carrie -20%]
#You pull yourself up straight and try to look intimidating. "You're on pack land." [Carrie -5%]
#You put your hands up and try to look unassuming. "We just want to talk." [Carrie +10%]
If MC talks to Carrie: "You need to talk to the Alpha, or you need to leave." / "And if I don't?"
#"Then we'll kill you." [Carrie -5%]
#"Talk to the Alpha. He's a good guy. This doesn't have to get ugly." [Carrie +5%]
Carrie attacks Marco: Quicker than you imagined possible, she charges out from between the cars and leaps at Marco.
#Attack the stray. [Carrie's injured, Marco +10%, Carrie -30%]
#Grab the stray. [MC's injured, Health -10]
Available if MC's conviction is not "Protect the Pack": #Do nothing. [Marco's injured, Carrie +5%, Marco -20%]
Caught her: ... and you can see by the panic in her eyes that she knows it.
#You attack her. [Ed -10%]
#"Everyone just stop for a second!" [Ed +10%]
What to do with Carrie?
#"Ed's right. We should take her to the Alpha. He'll know what to do." [Ed +10%]
-> Available if Carrie is injured: #"She's too hurt to fight back." You take off your jacket and press it against the wound in her shoulder. [Carrie +5%, Vicky -5%]
-> Available if Carrie is injured: #"She's hurt... but still dangerous." You take off your jacket and use it to bind her wrists together. [Vicky +5%, Carrie -5%]
#"She's dangerous, but she doesn't deserve to die. We should take her out of town." [Vicky -10%]
#"I don't like it, but she's with the moon. If we don't kill her, she'll kill someone else." [Vicky +10%, Ed -20%, Carrie -20%]
“we just made out, in a magic tree, and it was cool with it. it ships us.”
✨✨✨✨
this scene from @barbwritesstuff’s blood moon might genuinely be one of my favorite “first kiss” moments of all time, so when i decided to commission an art piece, it was important to me that the composition was able to capture the sweetness and warmth and magic i feel when read it.
luckily, @molliartsie is an absolute rockstar and created something even more beautiful than i could have expected 🥺😍
just look at the COLORS and the lighting and the facial expressions and the soft cupping of cheeks and ed’s “adorably messy hair” and the detail of of wood and my girl mia in her overalls and the glow of the moon and gah!
basically i’m never, ever gonna shut up about this ♥️ if you get the chance to commission molly, take it.
Komaeda. (He puts a hand on his shoulder, frowning softly.) What is going on? Is everything alright?
he’s shaking, panicking, struggling to catch his breath. “i-it’s makoto, he’s... he’s forgetting things again, he’s forgetting everything, he...” nagito wraps himself around ed’s torso in a hug. “he’s going to forget me. he’s going to disappear.”
(He holds some mistletoe over you, smirking down at you.) ❤
he looks up, registering the plant only after a moment, then lets out a small laugh, setting his book aside. “well, it’s tradition.” he stands, cups ed’s face and goes up on his toes, planting a kiss on his lips. “good to see you, by the way.”
Komaeda. I apologize for the delay. Are you okay after t- whoa..what's going on?
he coughs, petals sputtering forth from his mouth. he has a pained look on his face. there are even vines starting to burst forth through the skin on his chest. “g-gh-! th-this... i-it’s...” he gasps. “h-hanahaki disease... g-god th-this hurts...”
