Things that (one of) my friends say about my favorite characters that make me sob internally and/or die inside:

(Part 1: Ayame Ikeda)

Me: *Shows a picture of Ayame*

My friend: She looks like a "I'm not like other girls" type of girl. She also looks very homophobic and likely commits arson just for the fun of it.

Me internally:

*Dies inside because I'm a die-hard Ayame lover*

actually you know what hold on I'm not done complaining about the whiteness of A6 yet! there are (2) poc characters and only one I would say is actually canon poc (bash) but I would argue that aya is pretty heavily coded as east Asian even if she's literally an alien (I'm not even going to comment on Ryona she's a white woman is who is blue but she doesn't have to be, fan artists 👀) which is a pretty shit number for a game with so many characters (I could also see arguments for nerissa being latina but the canon for her is weak). what I'm particularly bothered by is aya (not herself she's lovely, but the dev approach to her) since as a literal Japanese scholar I know that her name comes from Japanese and it's supposed to be Japanese (her brother is literally named Akira for fucks sake lol) but the canon pronunciation is so far from Japanese and other than her name and appearance there's nothing about her character that connects to that culture (which could be seen as a good thing considering the only perspective going into the game is a white lady's). I'm also somewhat peeved by bash's canon pronunciation since I'm fairly confident that Ilhaj is Arabic in origin (though it could be farsi or a north African dialect like Morocco's) and surprise surprise Im a student of that too! also I know that bash's arc hasn't started yet but with the combination of an Arabic last name and somewhat white first name (idk much about European languages so idk the origin of Sebastian) it would indicate that he's mixed ethnicity but we just. don't get to know anything about that either and it contributes literally 0% to his character other than him being an addict and arena fighter (wonderful stereotyping! so fantastic). this is long and rambly and may make no sense but these are things that have bothered me but I figured no one would care about but maybe you do! and maybe you have better insights than I do! I'd love to hear them!

#i didnt even want to bring up vexx being half kit and what him looking so strikingly different from aya would mean in terms of planning #idk im just a cultures guy that gets pissed off when other white people assume they know everything about everyone elses culture #and that they dont need to do any research or ask anyone else about their shit #im gonna call this post: screaming into the void #e speaks #andromeda 6 #andromeda six #a6 #ayame a6 #bash a6

Okay, but Vera Tan is my voice claim for Ayame and I am going to endlessly fantasize about saving enough money to get her to fandub

Hello! I’ve never really used tumblr for something like this before so you’ll have to excuse my awkwardness.

I do have some rules

-I ask that you are kind and respectful. We’re all supposed to be adults here because (cough cough, 18+ blog because children scare me)

- I am over 18, so yes you may speak about adult topics.

-Don’t be afraid to ask me anything! Or just come over to talk about A6!

-If you would like me to talk or read your work, I don’t mind you asking! I love reading new fanfic and I would be happy to read yours!

Alright. If I need to add anything in the future, I will, but for now, here it is!

I discovered so many cool ifs thanks to your blog. I must say your taste in characters and stories is exquisite. Do you have a certain type of favourite ROs as in are there some romance tropes that you always go for? I'm a sucker for the emotionally unavailable ROs, so Orion and August have me in a chokehold rn. I'm honestly having so much infamous brainrot after reading that amazing demo. Do you prefer gender-selectable or gender-locked ROs? I personally don't mind either way as long as they're well written and portrayed. And you're so right we need more NB/Trans ROs for sure! Specially more that are POCs! <3

Oh, anon you don't know how much this makes me SMILE! Not so much about my tastes (though I'm smiling on that too, you flatterer :-P) but because of the IFs. I think Interactive Fiction is such a delightful medium with SUCH potential, and I love trying to stuff it into more people's faces.

Oh, man. I've actually been thinking of this -- because I once semi-jokingly said/had the thought that I always go for the characters of color [that's not TRUE, but I feel like I'm more inclined to give them a chance regardless of trope as long as I find the character intriguing enough] because I want to make sure they get love. So, I feel like I haven't really been looking at games/stories through tropes of late -- because IFs haven't yet reach a place where I'm afforded that? I don't know if I'm making sense.

BUT this question definitely took me back, lmao. And it is going to expose why TWC will always be on my neck, as well as that I am a LITTLE bit of a liar (because thinking on this made me realize though I may try and be broad with my interests to support characters of color, my subconious is a clown and likes what it likes werew lmao).

TL;DR I do love the stoic ones. I do love the ones that seem indifferent and/or cold or just So Serious and Don't Have Time For Your Tomfoolery but also have a sense of humor, a sense of justice/loyalty, and can get super soft/flustered for MC (but not just mc but their loved ones:

A du Mortain 🤡

Orion Quinn (Orion chuckling at Rowan's jokes privately? I knew he was the one for me BUT THAT SOLIDIFIED IT. I AM GONE FOR HIM)

August Pierce (letting themselves be suckered into things by their sister, being flustered by MC in a romance??)

Calderon (Andromeda Six)

Elliot (OFNA) - though I haven't gotten far in ofna.

D (atoc)

I love the soft and bright ones. Sometimes they're sarcastic (but to a point. There's a reason why I love the Scott McCalls more than the Stiles Stilinkis), they're mischevious. They don't need to have a dark past but I'm not against it. They're still KIND despite all they've gone through. Their hearts are just so BIG. And if you throw in a bit of friends to lovers? I'M THERE.

F Hauville.

Bash (a6)

I think Victoria might fit here, but more of a hardened shell version (which I wanted to add I feel this type has a lot of subcategories that I also enjoy). A more defiant version, a version who is less impulsive, more in control? idk what im saying. Which I'd also put Ayame from A6 here.

Skye Cortéz from Skin and Scales.

I feel Kiran from Unseelie will fit this.

Those are clear off the top of my head but there are other ones I like. I love characters that have poise but also are cunning (I think A from ATOC would fit here if you need an example; Sabir from the Exile, Straasa from TSSW, Leonie from Reaper's Bay .... that theyre all black is a coincidence -- one I JUST realized wqere lmao), I love childhood friends to lovers as I stated, I love enemies to reluctant allies to friends to lovers, I love second chance romances (or reunited friends that turn to romance). I'm blanking at personalties, right now. I'm sorry.

Oh, negl. Sometimes I go for the 'fuck everyone but you' Villain. I like it when the powerful "bad" guy (gn) is obssessed with MC. Like, not an RO but for an example Falk. Or an actual RO Manerkol from The Soul Stone Wars. Krios from Dying Stars.

Sometimes, but not always, I go for the hopelessly devoted and utterly loyal to MC bodyguard sort like Kai from Reaper's Bay. Devoted and protective does usually get my pitter patter - like John from Made Marian, but like I said not always. Especially if OVERPROTECTIVENESS can be a point of discussion between the pair (ie mc and the ro).

There are other stuff but i am blanking right now.

As for gender, I don't care generally -- but I do tend to shy away if there isn't an NB option when they're gender selectable, and if there isn't I want at LEAST ONE NB ro (more than one) that isn't gender selectable. I like it better tho when it's all gender selectable or like two are gender selectable and the rest are set genders but evenly so.

and yes that SPECIFICNESS -- you make a point I hadn't even thought of: DEFINITELY need more trans/nb options, PERIOD, but please writers and artists should consider having them of color as well!!

#long post #anon #grapecase answers #gosh #i man i need to sit and ponder this #this was just off my frenetic thoughts #interactive fiction #atoc #the unseelie if #reapers bay if #skin and scale if #tssw #twc #i need to sit and think about my fave ros in my ifs and organize them #... i mean i probably wont #if ros #my faves #im open to recs too anon! :-D #this is so long #just a mess of my rambles #sorry anon

“Sing if they are attractive”

but the twist is that I’m a Lesbian who holds a grudge. Also, I don't find men attractive, but if I was looking at them OBJECTIVELY

This is all tomfoolery, and the people that are ranked low are wonderfully nuanced, and I like them as characters a lot, but you couldn’t make me kiss them if you paid me too.

[trashy-corvian]

Yooo sorry to bothering you, i just saw your post about a6 and i wanted to had something i'm a man, i'm really tall and i really love romance game except most of them are writed for f!MC so when i saw a game where i can even have he/him or they/them pronouns i jump in, except it's easy to see that's write for a f!MC the way they talked to us, act with us and all (not telling that it should changes but sometimes it's sounds really weird?) And with the girls (Ryona and Ayame i love them) that's write as more gender neutral, we're not seen as small and fragile by the game?

I just wanted to tell that you're not alone to saw the game is write for f!mc

My bro, my guy, my dude you're not bothering me! And I'm right here with you. The bar is so low but i'm still feel like a damn treasure hunter when searching for IFs or visual novels to read. Andromeda Six isn't a bad game, but the fact that they claim it was written with all genders in mind is bullshit. While playing Aya's route i was so dissapointed that she didn't push me against a tree(a choice would be nice) and let me kabedon Damon dammit! At this point, this game is a poorly disgiused playground for devs and their self-inserts

#glad to see i'm not alone on thgis #andromeda six should just come out as a straight romance only #corvian talks

Lady,i will touch you with my mind. 

Touch you and touch and touch 

until you give 

me suddenly a smile,shyly obscene 

(lady i will 

touch you with my mind.)Touch 

you,that is all, 

lightly and you utterly will become 

with infinite ease 

the poem which i do not write.

- E. E. Cummings

           Stretching your arms you begin to wake, your eyes adjusted to your surroundings and that's when the memory of last night washed over you. You could feel your cheeks begin to burn at the thought of the words that fell from his lips in the throws of ecstasy but when you look to your side he's nowhere to be seen. You wonder where he could be so early, Ayame hadn't even done her announcements yet had she? There was a clock on the bedside table, glancing at it you realize its actually far past time for her to have done the announcements so now your thoroughly confused. Leaving the warmth of his sheets was hard, even more so when your bare feet hit the cold floor making you scramble to the laundry basket to find where you'd tossed your clothes. Eventually you find them and put them back on before slipping your slides back on and throwing on the robe for warmth. The halls of the A6 were unusually quiet and you thanked the gods for that considering how strange it would look for you to come slinking from the captains quarters.

        "Finally decided to join the living did we." You can hear damon's voice behind you after turning a corner just down the hall from your bedroom. Fuck. You curse at yourself under your breathe before turning to see him leaning casually against the wall. Part of you hoped and prayed he wouldn't say anything about the obvious but that was a stupid request considering the next words that fell from his lips. 

        "I'm assuming you had a much better night with the captain then i did." You knew that you were rolling your eyes but didn't particularly care if it verified his original thoughts or not. From the smirk on his face he already knew everything he needed too and was simply here to ride out the embarrassment while it lasted.

        "Yeah i guess you could say that." You say nonchalantly before turning and heading towards your door. You could hear him get up from his spot on the wall and follow behind you down the corridor only speaking once you'd gotten to your door and began to shove your key into the reader.

        "Why the cold shoulder? I just came to check up on you." the tone of his voice told you that was far from the truth so you only gave him an uninterested 'hmm'. Once the doors slide open and you step inside you plan to turn and shut the doors in his face but he swiftly enters before you can. You watch as he crosses the room and sits into the chair that sits under the desk, making you look at him with an unimpressed and aggravated look. 

        "I'm fine. I'm great actually. Anything else you want to know?" You were trying your hardest to have a sliver of patience with him and it didn't help that your aggravation only made his grin grow further. His eyes slide up and down your body carelessly as he looked at you with his eyebrows raised in a prying manner.

         "Are you going to let me get dressed so I can get a start on my day?" You ask closing the doors and letting your hand fall from the side panel as you start to walk over to your bags of clothes. 

         "Don't stop on my account, You know if you guys were trying to be low key you might need to try a bit harder." You had no idea what he was talking about. No one was trying to hide anything, not really. You dig through your clothes finding a pair of leggings and a t-shirt.

          "You're really just going to stay there and watch?" You ask him only getting a shrug in return, you notice as he shifts to begin holding his arms up and resting his hands behind his head. You decide to take this opportunity to push his buttons, if he wanted to play this game of chicken then he'd just have to sit and watch, literally, you begin by shrugging your robe from your shoulders. You could see his face grow red from the corner of your eye and you watched him look away for his own sanity. You couldn't help the devilish grin that spreads across your face, this time before lifting the tank top over your head you make sure he's watching as you begin swaying your hips while pulling it over your head. You're facing the window so all he can see is your bare back but it was enough to make his eyes pierce into the back of your head. His stare was so intense that you could feel as his eyes trail down from your shoulders to your sides. You heard the chair being moved but before you can turn around Damon is standing right behind you, his warm breathe tickling the back of your ear. You can feel his long cold fingers slide around your waist making you shiver when they trail up your body. One hand he let come up to grip your bare breast making you squeak and try to back away but it only pushed you further into his grasp. 

          "If you needed a way to relieve stress you could have come to me." He says in a raspy whisper into your ear sending another chill down your spine. You wouldn't lie,  while laying in that bathtub you had let your mind wander to Damon a few times but you were so uncertain of the nature of your relationship that the thought to seek him out during your midnight aggravation hadn't crossed your mind. 

             "And if I had?" You say sarcastically only playing farther into his game, you had your shirt in hand and began to put it on but he stops you. Taking the t-shirt out of your hand he tosses it to the floor despite your complaining. Your words began to stutter out when he let his hands gingerly slide up to cup both breast while he planted small kisses along your shoulder, everywhere he touched left you with a burning tingle. Your back was pressed firmly against his chest and one of his hands had made its way to your throat. The smell of his freshly washed hair, the mint that still hung on his breathe, and his intoxicating cologne all made the fire in your belly grow brighter.

             "Lady, i will touch you with my mind." He Begins to say softly in a new gentler tone then he had ever taken with you. It sounds as if he's saying something that's been rehearsed and read aloud.

             "Touch you and touch and touch until you give me suddenly a smile." His gestures match his words, one hand sliding between your legs and the other rubbing down your chest until he grips your breast again squeezing it to draw another gasp from you. His voice wax just as intoxicating as his presence and his words made your heart swell. 

              "Shyly obscene, lady i will touch you with my mind." He turns you to face him one hand resting on your waist while the other comes to hold your chin holding your lips only inches from his. You can feel him crowding you to the bed but you absent mindedly follow his lead until the back of your knees hit the side of your bed.

         "Touch you,that is all, lightly and you utterly will become with infinite care the poem which i do not write." Finally he pushes you back the final inch making you collapse onto your bed letting him tower over you. His stare was intense and his body was heavy as it pressed your small frame into the mattress. Before you can utter a word he finally kisses you but it isn't like the ones from before, this one was slow and timid. It sent shock waves through your body and made your head spin as you were sure it was doing to him as well. When you both finally part you can't help but stare into his eyes and him into yours, the silence that hung between you both was comfortable. 

         "I didn't know you liked poetry." You say still entranced by his eyes. There he goes again giving you that unfamiliar gentle smile that you could most certainly get use to.
