Hi sorry to bother you but do you have Iris sprites from episode 22? thx in advance

Hi!

Still no. I keep hoping someone accidentally post it somewhere. I've found something on twitter but it's jpeg and it has a black background.

I wanted to clean this, but it's a lot of work.

I hope this helps!

Do you have any Lysander x Castiel headcanons ?

Hi, anon! Thanks for the ask!

I have some, his friendship is honestly one of my favourites in the MCL world, Beemoov give me a whole episode of just Lysander and Castiel chilling and vibing plz

Lysander is that person Castiel reaches out sometimes when he's kinda drunk or typsy, when he's having an existential crisis and needs someone to talk to

Ofc Lysander will patiently listen and make Castiel feel comforted and understood; he's such an amazing listener

Lysander isn't the one who usually makes the calls; that doesn't mean he doesn't miss Castiel or doesn't think about him. He comes to mind when he tries a new recipe; he wonders if Castiel would like it the next time he comes to visit. He also comes to mind when he sees cheerful big dogs, questioning if Cupcake is doing well. He lingers in his mind more than Lys lets know

Even though they don't talk that often, once they pick up the phone, it's like nothing has changed since high school

Well, literally their whole lives, but their friendship is one of those that linger in time and remains strong and oblivious to the passing of the years

And even if Lysander isn't the one who usually calls first, will make sure to update Castiel on everything he feels to speak about

For Castiel, Lysander is what's most close to the idea of "home"

Lysander doesn't see him as this big, hot rockstar, filthy rich and with a hell of an ego. He sees him as he is. As a person. As his highschool friend. As the boy who acted like he was the baddest in the school stupidly skiving off to go to the basement to smoke. As the Castiel go would do anything and everything for one of his friends if needed to.

Lys is a sensible person that knows how to comfort someone and make them feel valid

With Lysander, he's allowed to be vulnerable and soft. He can lower his defences and feel like a person again

My masterlist

Asks’ rules

[mrs-veilmont]

Serious question, all routes wanted or were willing to maintain a long distance relationship with Candy or if there were routes that refused in HSL period?

It's all my imagination and I only played Castiel route so if you have another idea feel free to share with me🌸💜

I will start with my love, Castiel. I think long distance relationship would be hard for Castiel & Candy at first. Cause Castiel's love language was physical touch and Candy could get jealous sometimes but that wouldn't separate them.

And for Kentin, I don't think they would break up, they would do their best to continue. Last boy who would want to separate from Candy.

If you don't think about Nath's change on ul, Nathaniel was mature enough to continue with long distance relationship.

I am not sure about Armin since I have no idea about his route but I'm sure Alexy would give them courage to go for long distance relationship. He is calm and cool person so I don't think there would be any big problem between Candy and him.

For Lysander I like the canon way actually.

Priya, Nathaniel, Hyun, Chani, Kim

Wwwww~ thank you for the ask!! ; v;

Priya: What’s the craziest thing you’ve done for friends?

Oh jeez, I can't remember the craziest right now but... I remember I was at Disney Land with a good friend at the time, close to best friend status summer before 8th or 9th?? grade. (Gosh my timeline is so off) she had me going in lines for rollercoasters, as I got closer I was having major anxiety (I'm afraid of heights), and she was like "you better not leave this line and embarrass me. I'll be mad at you for the rest of the day." So I felt I had no choice but to get on despite my anxiety. So I did. ... I guess it's pretty crazy to allow a friend to stay with you for the rest of a school year while her parents moved from Texas to California. Then go on a plane by yourself that summer to go visit her as a new teen. Hahaha... ^^'''

Nathaniel: What is the most “illegal” thing you have done?

I also used to be a drug dealer and pimp. I also killed a man... Haha just kidding.

Illegal.. Well, pirating. I also got into a couple accidents and got a traffic ticket for speeding. Was there anything else?

Hyun: A childhood memory that marked you (good nor not) when you were little

Oh there's a lot but I'll give you this for now: I was adopted, my birth parents were crackheads while pregnant. (I have an early memory of my bio dad trying to feed me beer at a party) So I was taken by my biological grandparents, my grandpa and great grandma (I thought they were married as a young kid) by age 2-3 my grandparents had to give me up to an aunt in the family because they felt they were too old to care for a child, this aunt and uncle cared for me for a short bit until the aunt abandoned us. I always thought the uncle gave me up because he couldn't do it alone, but I just found out a few years ago it was because he wasn't blood (which is funny because my parents now aren't blood either. Not at all. My adoptive grandma is friends with my bio grandpa. I spent a lot of time at my adoptive grandma's before I was adopted. I love my grandma. ♡). Then finally at age 4 I was adopted for the 3rd time to my now parents. I'm still in touch with my birth family, but I can't completely forgive my birth parents for whatever reason. ( I don't talk to my birth mom, she's still in California.) He never stopped drinking and smoking so that makes it hard too. But, needless to say, I've had issues ever since. As a kid, I always asked my mom if she was going to give me up whenever we fought. I still have trust issues and get separation anxiety pretty bad. XD but I guess it's good to remember that the adoption was handled as well as it could have. It was within the family and close friends, I was never in an orphanage. I was also aware my whole life about it, so I never felt my life was a lie, and my parents always tried to reinforce that I was chosen rather than given up.)

Chani: What qualities should your best friend have for you?

They should like me. Link to previous post here.

Kim: If you had to make a wish, which one would it be?

Mmm I could make a few but here's one: I wish to find my true happiness and path I'm meant to follow in life. I hope it will be with the person I'm so I hopelessly in love with...

[tweakerwolf]

I can't find the tumblr user who made 'My Cannibal Lover'... Do you know what happened to them? Or where I could download the game?

I just looked around and their blogs aren’t active anymore…. when did that happen?? D: I’m not sure if they deleted themselves or if they got deleted by Tumblr when things were all weird? But, neither acct is available anymore, and their icon doesn’t say (deactivated) when I hover over a post from them?

Does anyone know what happened to turtlewiggles??

I just reblogged a post that has Turtlewiggles’s (as underneathturtlesshell) original post about the game with PC and Mac download links but I can’t guarantee that the links still work, if TW took down their own blogs then they might’ve also closed the downloads…

[aokane-eldarya]

Hello :-) hope you're doing well . Just wanted to know what do you think about eldarya and mclul writing .

Hi anon :D

Thanks for you concern, I’m doing well enough (although my cat woke me at 4:30 am and did not let me go back to sleep and she pee on the dirty laundry…)

Sorry to answer you only now, I needed the time to think (and finish my opinion about Leiftan spin off). It might be a bit long lol

So, generally, for both games, I would say that, considering the conditions in which the episodes are made, the writers are doing well ; it could clearly be worse.

Chino has three games to manage and it’s just amazing that she manages to deal with so many stories at the same time and in record time. When you work in a professional way, it can become exhausting quickly, you have to think about everything, keep in mind each of your stories, the characters and background of each of your characters…

Not to mention the technical aspect and management of each team and each person who work on your projects.

My main problem with MCLU and Eldarya comes from the means that are given to the teams.

I really feel they do not have enough time to go deeper, to do more research. Normally, when you write, it is best to let your text rest, not to touch it for a while. (personally, when it comes to my novels, I do not touch for a month after finishing the first draft) 

Then you read it again with a new look, you correct, you rewrite. Then you confide it to several beta readers (I usually give them one month delay for a novel) and then you read it again, you help yourself with the advice of beta readers to eventually correct the content, then the form and the style.

For an otome, you must also think of all the graphic aspect, the appearance of the illustrations.

The creation here seems to depend on a calendar and the availability of the translators, whereas it should be the opposite. I’m not saying that they have to take all the time they want, but that the time should be calculated more accurately.

For MCLU :

- My first problem is the presence of Hyun and Rayan. Now, I understand better for Hyun who seems to me to be a bit extreme in his feelings and who is hasty in my opinion (it reminds me of one of my ex who thought I was the woman of his life when we were a couple for only a few days ), so, it’s ok. For Rayan, I really love him, I think he’s really interesting, he’s definitively my crush, but I don’t understand why some passages have been put in place even when you have a low LoM. You can not use the argument that it’s her soulmate, like Leiftan. And it’s quite paradoxical, because for certain passages, our choices are perfectly taken into account and we are not confronted with certain scenes.

- I also have a problem with Priya, who does not have the same place, it seems to me, as the other crushes. We still have trouble knowing where we go with her. We have learned some interesting things about her past, we also know that she will rather enjoy the life. Maybe with Priya it will be to convince her, to reassure her about being in a serious relationship. It’s difficult to know at the moment and the fact that she has that perfect and Mary-Sue side is not helping her for the moment.

- I really love how Nath is writing for the moment. I know from experience that when you love a character, it will be easier to write it and to write it well. That does not mean that we can not write well a character we love less, it only means that it will take a little more time and energy. Chino said Nath is her favorite and it shows in my opinion. She has a predilection for tortured characters.

- Castiel is also a character that I appreciate. During those four years, he really became a more mature adult, he kept what made his charm when he was younger, while working on his flaws. I’m still waiting a little, but for the moment, it seems to me to be well written.

- There are other characters I like the way they are written at each of their appearances, like Kim or Amber, even Yeleen and I love Chani with all my heart

- Even though I do not like her, Melody seems to have more to show than in HSL, so I’m a little intrigued.

- I do not really have an opinion about Alexy, Rosa, Morgan, Nina … I still can not understand how they are written, especially Rosa and Alexy. Unlike Castiel and Nath, I can not see how they have evolved and become who they are today. So wait and see.

- I do not really like Clemence’s writing, too caricatural for me for the moment.

- About Candy… I have mixed feelings. Sometimes I love how she thinks and reacts, sometimes I just wonder where she put her brain. I love that we can have so much access to her thoughts. I know that some people do not like it because of the AP system or because some of her thoughts could be embarrassing to players who want a more malleable character. I have to admit I’d like her to have more questions, but maybe because I’m a very introverted person myself and I’m constantly thinking, having a lot of questions in my mind.

- Regarding the plot, there may be some clichés, but I do not think that’s a problem. Clichés are good too ! I am not asking an author to give me something that is necessarily original and never seen. I first want my emotions to be jostled. Sometimes laugh, sometimes dream, sometimes cry.

- There are scripting facilities especially concerning Candy’s studies. This point is delicate, especially because it is an otome. There are people who want more, others who want less … It’s complicated. That said, I think that some things could be avoided, even when we do not want to develop too much.

That’s all that comes to me about writing MCLU right now, actually.

For Eldarya :

- I really, really love Eldarya, but my main problem is the lore. I want more. I want so much more. I really feel that this is the most damaging to the game and gives the impression to some players that the game has problems of inconsistency and misunderstanding. But again, it’s really difficult, because there are a lot of players who do not care, who do not want more lore, more explanations and just want the plot to advance, again and still, who do not want to take the time to observe the world in which Erika evolves. And the most incredible is that these same players are able to blame problems of inconsistency ! And, of course, there is this word limit problem. This is really a problem for me, because it forces writers to get to the point, to give the maximum, but with the minimum.

- The way our character is written is really correct for me, but I would just like her to have a lot more questions about the world around her. Simply because it makes sense to do it in an unknown world !

It’s a personal taste, but I love her sexual freedom, the fact that her relationship starts this way. Because it’s really, really pleasant to be able to play, in an otome, a character who has the same sexuality as you. In most of the otome games I’ve played, the character does not have that freedom, she’s either uncomfortable or completely ignorant. I can deal with this, because some people work that way in real life, but when it happens again and again, it becomes very frustrating.

But, I still have a problem with the way in which the relationship is presented.

For Leiftan, it’s completely perfect. It’s from the beginning that they get closer slowly, Leiftan is really adorable, he never rush her when he loves her from the beginning. And the beginning, it means several months, almost half a year ! And considering this, considering the link that unites them, I just find that their relationship is fantastic. This is the only one of the relationships where Leiftan really tells her “I love you” and not in a roundabout way and retracting, like Nevra for example. And we really have the choice to say “I love you” too and it’s so fucking amazing because it’s so natural! I love them, I love their relationship !

 And then there are the chiefs of the guard. The problem is that the beginning of the relationship was not as idyllic with them and that there were problems, they did not really respect her when she arrived and for a moment, and they have even betrayed one of the worst ways possible. They stole his earthly life!

So, the relationship with them sounds a little … weird.

Valkyon is pretty much ok, because for the moment, the beginning of their relationship was mostly focused on the physical aspect, not yet sentimental. So … ok.

For Nevra and Ezarel, it’s clearly more weird in my opinion. It’s rushed. They are there, animated by the passion of love and you do not understand just why, how it happened so quickly. Not even three months ago, they forced her to drink a potion to erase her from her family’s memory, and now it’s almost as if Nevra is going to ask her to marry him, to take his example.

The reason is simple, it is to try to put the three guys at about the same level as Leiftan (even if Leiftan remains favored). But it still weird.

- I am totally in love with the way Leiftan is written. I. Love. Him.

- There are other characters I like the way they are written, like Chrome, Ewelein, Camera, Keroshane…

- About Ezarel, Valkyon et Nevra… I don’t really know. I always had a little trouble with their personality. They bother me a little, but I hope their arcs will make them more interesting.

- I’m really, really intrigued by Lance.

- Miiko was written a little awkwardly for me, the aspects of her personality were not presented in a balanced way

- I do not really have an opinion about writing other characters.

- And finally, about the plot, I really love it, i’m really interesting, passionate about this, I can spend hours thinking about theories, thinking about all the details, doing research… I want a library with a list of info unlocked for each episode.

compiling master list

Would anyone be interested seeing a master list post with all my drabbles/short stories and maybe asks in one post? that way you can just read and not have to hunt anything down

[caemec]

M con Nathaniel por favor~

Two asks in one (since I still have 15 drabbles’ asks waiting, and as you begin to know how slow I can be, it’s probably better that way). 

F & M - Flirting with you & Making you breakfast

Reachingthe little cafe, the window shop lit up by paper lanterns, youhurried up inside, fleeing the cold weather of a winter morning. Youtook off your coat, wet strands of your hair sticking on the skin ofyour naked neck. You sat at your usual place, right alongside thelarge patio door, on which raindrops drawn geometric lines. Underyour feet, the old wooden floor creaked at every slight movement youmade. Some saxophone’s notes, mingled with the hammering of the heavyrain filled the room, a calm and timeless sensation lingering on thefew customers. 

Inthe corner of the coffee shop, you were sure you would be peacefulenough to work on the last chapter of your history law class you hadthis morning. Or at least, you would try. If you could easily assureyou fell in love with your teacher, enthralling and able to keep yourentire attention during three consecutive hours, you had to recognizeher capacity to give you more work than any other universirtyteacher. Writing an essay about the practice of the torture duringthe ages in less than a week was a masterstroke you weren’t sure youhad the time for. 

Faraway were the days you strode along the corridors of your old school,Sweet Amoris. Sometimes, you would give a lot to come back at thetime. Your life was way more easier than now, an average student atthe university, perpetually left to your own devices. Four yearspassed, you were practically at the end of your first year ofmaster’s degree, and you were literally begging for some free time,at least to take a bath and eat a proper dinner. 

- Already here ?

Youlooked up to meet the golden eyes and the slight smile of yourboyfriend, known as his renowned hallmarks. If time was beneficialfor someone, it was clearly for Nathaniel. You woke up many morningsper week at his side since years now, and you still found yourselfamazed at how gorgeous and charismatic he had become. Stunning, thatwas the word. 

Anddefinitively sexy in those black jeans and sponsored sweatshirt, anapron firmly tied at his waist.

- I ran until here. It rains outside.

- That explains your red cheeks.

- No, that’s because there is a beautiful man right in front of me.  

Youcould see the movement of his face you knew by heart, when he bit theinner of his lower lips, to keep secret the smug smile you caused.Instead, he leaned down, putting his forearms on the table, hisplayful eyes to the height of yours. Without a word, he brought hislips closer to yours, until you barely felt the subtle touch of its,his breath tickling your sensitive skin, giving you goose bumps. 

Yearslater, he was still able to lead you back to your clumsy shyness.Your composure definitively lost, you bit your lower lips, in a needto reject your embarrassement. He softly laughed against you, beforefinally leaving a good morning kiss.

- What do you want ? He asked, taking back his professional posture, a pen in the hand, while you were still a blushing mess. 

However,you learned it with time – Nathaniel was surprisingly the best whenit came to seduce. You gave him an ardent gaze, letting your eyesadmiring his torso, highlighted by the dark shades of his uniform. Hesighed with fake annoyance. 

- Except the staff, I mean.

- That’s too bad… You mumbled, stretching your arms out, narrowly holding back an unattractive yawn. But I don’t know what I want. I just had two hours about how to properly torturing unbelievers and witches. It’s not really appetising.

- So it will be my choice, he decided before turning around and walking away. 

Hestopped a few meters further, giving you one last glance. 

- No discount if you hadn’t written at least a half page when I come back, he warned, insensitive to your protests.

Youpouted in his back, lazily looking at the history books on the table,waiting for you to tear your hair out. You definitely weren’t donefor homeworks. No one was better than your dad to make you understandyour books – another benefit of high school. Not even Nathaniel,who had enough with his own studies, his student work and his verynew internship to handle a poor soul like yours.

However,his manner to watch over you, in a way he thought discreet enough togo unnoticed, was to invite you to the coffee shop – force you weremore suitable in your opinion – and to find little motivations foreach step you overcame. You loved him for that. Despite his lack oftime, he still managed to see you as often as possible, letting youunderstand you would always be his priority, even when he had to dotwelve hours a day. 

Incomparison, you were practically in holidays. You did your duty totake care of him as much as possible, even if it meant stealing hisapartment’s keys and achieving all of his house chores – if theyknew it, your parents would complain about how lazy you were when itcame to their own house.

Atthe counter, half-hidden behind the cookie jars, eyebrows frowned bythe concentration, Nathaniel leaned over a mug, liquid crème fraîchein the hand. A melancholy smile ornamented your face with, when youlost in the memories of his very first days as a waiter, at the timetotally unsure he would be able to draw small and cute figures oncoffees or hot chocolates. It definitely wasn’t his style. But sincemoney didn’t come alone and he wanted his total independence, faraway from his father’s hand, he gave everything he had, more studiousand hard worker than ever. Even reading pink and cliché blogs abouthow to become an expert in latte art was taken seriously, at thetime.

Aneed to feel his warm body against you filled you entirely. Afterglancing at the room, practically empty, apart two students too busywith their laptops to notice you, you stood up and joined Nathaniel.He had found his place here, and his colleagues knew you practicallyas much as him. You were unofficially a part of the team. Skirtingthe counter, you jumped the unique step, before letting your backrest again the piece of furniture.

- Think to the discount, he said promptly, without raising his eyes, busy to adjust home-made scones on a flowery plate.

- Seeing a man cooking is definitely sexy, you answered, denying his previous remark and the homeworks’ call.

- Technically, I’m not cooking. You should have come two hours earlier for that. But, he added before you could reply, in light of your conception of it, it has to be the hardest skill you ever saw.

Yougently hit his shoulder, pretending to be offended, even if your pooractor game couldn’t dupe him.

- You’re mean. No tip, if you continue.

Youdidn’t miss his triumphant smirk, knowing full well where he wantedto lead the conversation. Of course you ran in his game. The timepassed together was more and more rare to not enjoy it as far aspossible.

- But I still love your reheated noddles. You’re sexy when you use the microwave.

- That’s already better.

Hehanded you a spoon full of sweet clotted cream. You opened your mouthand let escape an odd laugh when you felt a bit of the creme drippingon your chin. Nathaniel refrained to comment, quickly scrubbing yourskin with a finger.

- You’re a child.

- That’s true, you laughed while taking a towel to clean yourself. That’s really good, by the way. Can you… Feed me again ?

- Because you can’t do it yourself and wisely go back to your table ?

- I can’t, I’m a child, you said it yourself.

Hesighed, smiling at you in despair. You knew how to have what youwanted, and more importantly, how to make him do it. Thingsweren’t so funny alone. He took a new spoonful of cream, and youleaned in his direction, your taste buds excited by advance. However,the spoon never met your mouth. 

- Tips come first, miss.

- Fine, but you don’t want me to pay you in a public place, trust me.
