discovered this today and it changed my whole life I WILL simp for Blair… even though I do want to try everyone else’s routes but it feels like cheating 😭 quick ask, do any of the ROs need glasses?

AHH this made my day thank you so much! as you should and not to condone cheating... but make use of each save file and explore your options ;) as someone with horrible vision i wanted to make them all suffer as well but apparently that's rude so:

hewitt wears contacts for the most part but they have a pair of thin, round tortoise shell frames

mercado has glasses but it's a rather weak prescription so they often go without it- clear frames that are rectangular at the top and curve into a rounded edge at the bottom

thanks for the ask! :-)

what do the ro's do when they feel sad? i'm feeling really down, thank you.

hello, sorry that you've been feeling down i hope you're feeling better 🫶

santiago feels so deeply and intensely, they try to stay positive but they can't dull the hefty feeling of sadness in their heart. they want to be brave and act as if nothing could hurt them but nothing comforts them more than sad music and a homecooked meal from their parents.

hewitt's sadness is supressed, they hate when they can't control their emotions. they seldom cry, instead waiting for it to build up until an unavoidable sob racks through their body. curls up in their bed, not caring for the fact that their hair is a mess and the sheets are wrinkly, they watch their comfort show- desperate for their brain to shut down for a few moments.

mercado shuts down and doesn't talk to anyone. there's a few tears but they seldom cry. their silence speaks volumes, especially coming from them. they need time to process their emotions. a couple of drinks (not enough to get drunk) and their piano does wonders for their soul.

collins' emotions multiply when they're alone. they prefer to be around other people that they trust in order to cheer them up. they don't necessarily have to do anything, talking about what they're feeling helps them understand their emotions and process them. a total blanket hoarder.

thank you for the ask, i hope you're feeling better! 💛

Would any of the Ros be open to poly?

hi! in order from most open to most reluctant:

mercado > santiago (i'd say a larger margin here) hewitt > collins

thanks for the ask! :)

[swatheford]

realistically collins wouldn't cry, they would just love to know why. actually i lied, they might cry

[swatheford]

NOPE NOPE nooope, the hickey is but a bug bite!! MC is confused for a second but then goofily says the truth!!!

part two to this ask! i wasn't sure if this was to be interpreted into another scenario but <3

santiago is absolutely embarrassed like that's embarrassing on their end. "i was just joking haha...."

hewitt doesn't respond aside from a brief "hmph."

mercado "so it was actually a leech?"

collins lets out a very quick chuckle, y'all know the sharp ones where it's like shocked? yes one of those. asks if mc needs bug spray

thanks for the ask! :)

what would ROs do if pre relationship MC casually stroke their cheek cause they have a stray eyelash on their face?

santiago "oh wait you have an eyelash too haha" mc in fact does not have an eyelash on their face.

hewitt's cheeks burn up!!! "you know you could've just told me there was something on my face," they mutter

mercado "you can keep your hand there longer if you'd like." ;)

collins would be all flustered and smile, "thank you" all giggly and chuckling to themselves

thanks for the ask, this was really cute :)

[swatheford]

oh no my finger slipped...anyways. wow mercado and santiago are so silly!! this team is definitely going to be effective at communication! no issues whatsoever! gold stars!
