#mutually exclusive polyamory

[annaberunoyume]

Headcannons about being in a mutually exclusive throuple with Wally Darling and Julie Joyful (Fem! Bi! Reader in mind, but you can apply it to your gender if you want.)

Julie was the first to fall in love with you. Wally took a little more time. He was always flirty with you, but one fine day, he realised it was more than mere amusing flirting. He truly admired you and loved you. It was helped by the fact that his darling Julie had practically adopted you. More love means more happiness.

Julie was more than happy to show you around in the Neighbourhood. You two became very sisterly friends at first. You both bonded on your love of crafts and giving back to community.

Wally, ever the flirt, always liked to tickle your hand or just scratch your head as he went away, just to see you blush.

You fell hard for Wally and his gallant, old school ways of going about his life (you are a vintage aficionado). He never fails to put you in a happy little trance when he sings to you or does his doe eyes.

They always insist that you sleep in the middle of the queen bed. But you sometimes do cajole Wally into taking place in the middle, some nights. He's an expert at cuddling with two harms, almost like a player (though the concept of players would disgust him). You love to smell Julie's candy-perfumed hair when you spoon her. And you are soothed by Wally's heartbeat and low voice when he hums as you spoon. When it's Julie in the middle, both Wally and you loves to tickle her.

Your neighbours at first found it peculiar, but they all embraced you three when they saw how happy you were.

Eddie married you three: ''By the power invested in me and Home's permission, I now pronounce you husband, wife and wife. You may now kiss each other (cue you three kissing, using both of Wally's cheeks and then Wally french-kissing Julie and you.).''

One fine day, Julie was now pregnant. You were more than happy to be that child's second mother. You named the child Julina.

why have i been running into so much polyamory hate lately. just because you personally don't want a polyamorous relationship or can't possibly grasp how something like that can be healthy doesn't mean it's wrong. people love in all different kinds of ways, being in a relationship with multiple consenting partners where everyone's needs are met and their boundaries are respected isn't some impossible feat. polyamory isn't greedy or abusive or immoral or whatever the fuck else your warped ideas of it make you think it is. "but polyamorous people are so annoying about it 🙄", what, for making a bunch of posts about how hot and wonderful their 4 girlfriends are ? boohoo. grow the fuck up

#and while i'm at it #open relationships (which aren't the same as polyamorous relationships but they're not mutually exclusive) can also be happy and healthy #you guys just think anything other than monogamy is automatically cheating #also i've seen people who are literally only mad about polyamory because they can't even get one partner lmao #other people being in happy relationships isn't some personal attack on you

[gayvampyr]

you can be polyam and cheat and those two things are neither mutually exclusive nor prerequisites of the other. cheating isn’t defined as breaking the rules of monogamy, but rather breaking the trust of your partner(s) and relationship. polyamory involves open communication. very annoying to see people conflate the two

"Why can you romance Astarion and Halsin at the same time? If you try to romance Astarion and Shadowheart at the same time, Shadowheart says Astarion isn't poly! You're coercing Astarion into polyamory!"

I've seen this take a few times, and what I think is important to note is that:

1. Shadowheart is not Astarion. Her statements about Astarion are assumptions / inferences, not objective truth. It is possible for her to be wrong.

2. All origin companions are mutually exclusive romance options, and having Shadowheart say "I don't think Astarion would go for that" flows better than if she said "Astarion and I are both main characters, and Larian has decided that the depth of interaction required to have a romance with an origin character is enough that you can't do two at the same time."

3. Astarion is a big boy, and Halsin and (hopefully) the player are very conscientious about making sure they have clear enthusiastic consent before engaging in anything. He asks for reassurance, receives it, and then goes ahead.

Saw someone deny the Kazurei ship because “the series makes it clear that Kazuki still loves his wife.” And that is such a bizarre argument.

I would hope that Kazuki still loves Yuzuko.

I would hope that Kazuki will love Yuzuko until the day he dies, because she was his wife and he loved her when she was alive. Why would he stop loving her because she passed away?

People, and well written characters, are complicated. They can love more than one person or thing at a time. Polyamory is a very real thing and a way some people love. But this situation with Kazuki isn’t even that. It’s a past love, since Yuzuko is no longer here with him.

Outside of past relationships that have turned sour because of something like abuse or the like, pretty much every person in the world has pieces of their heart that will always belong to someone they love: platonically, familially, romantically, and everything in-between.

Love is complex. The way people and well written characters like Kazuki interact and engage with love is complex too. Plus, the entirety of Episode 7 was literally about Kazuki learning to move on, let others in again, and learn to love again - without restraints and the past holding him back.

So, that dude who wrote that tweet just completely missed the point of Episode 7, lol. Like, Kazuki can have a picture of himself and his wife from when she was still alive up on his desk in his room, while also caring for Rei and forming a potential relationship with him in the present. Those things aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s like how a parent is able to love more than one child at the same time. 

It’s not that hard. But some people will try to deny queer readings of text no matter what.

How do u feel about the ship blitzo x fizzarolli x ozzie

I am. I am. Um. very normal about them anon…very normal indeed. Tune into my…many normal thoughts…

Don’t blame me! blame how fuckin fun headcanons and interpretations are!

Asmodeus: You kept him safe when I wasn’t able to. I trust that, thank y—

Blitzø: Hold it, hold it Royal Big Man. This is all muscle memory to me and the least I can do to thank you both for letting me even be here. You did that. You kept him safe when I wasn’t able to. For years. You helped him save himself. You helped him build himself up when I was the one who…when I was too weak to show him how amazing he is, how likeable and talented and funny and kind and.. I was too cowardly to give him the love he deserves, you give him that now. So. Thank you. For giving him his smile back.

You never forget your first love…and sometimes you can see traces of him in your final love…💕

If you love him let him go…even if it hurts, even if it’s agony, fucking agony to see him in the arms of another man. But his smile is worth it. What you could have had will haunt you forever, But you’ll be damned if anyone threatens the love this beautiful person has earned in your absence💘

Blitz: I will flirt with you baby 😘 oh I see you have a boyfriend? I will flirt with both of you then babies 🌹

It really works doesn’t it???

Their chemistry was great throughout. We have three complex character dynamics at once!! A first love that went wrong and a rekindling friendship, a beautiful romance, and two sex positive dudes who swing both ways (probably Oz does) and have built a friendship of mutual respect and love for someone they both care about, in a record time of under two minutes. Oz and Blitz having mutual respect and not fear, similar dirty humour they can bounce off eachother to fluster Fizz with. They’re both protective of Fizz, both tough guys who melt exclusively around him. And will fucking destroy anyone who looks at him wrong. They both just want him to smile and never be upset. Like honestly it’s cute as fuck and can be a very healing ot3 after a lifetime of some very toxic stuff…Millie and Moxie have been the crutch for too long.

Personally I feel like Blitz has always been polyamorous and wanting to be a throuple but looking in all the wrong places. And the show vilifies his polyamory by framing it as a creepy pansexual trying to ruin a good marriage. Ugh. I wish they would allow polyamory to be a positive thing for once.

(The way in-canon he hurt and traumatised Fizz even accidentally makes me halt honestly, that’s why I don’t think canonising it is good—but the hcs and fic ideas?? Go nuts!!) Let Blitz be wholesome for the first time ever!!

I also adore their potential storytelling - In Oops, I was watching Blitz like a fuckin hawk because he has never been so honest about his feelings without hiding behind personas, and he’s so much quieter than I realised.

I headcanoned that his real not show biz personality is much quieter and softer than we think. And his bite is just masked worry about you and if you really do see your own worth.

He speaks to Fizz the way he only spoke to Moxie at the end of Truth Seekers, sans the truth gas. Cause he’s just that close to him even after all this time, even when Fizz hates his guts, Blitz says get your fucking shit stained claws off him. He protects him. PROTECTS HIM MID-ARGUMENT. Anyone who says he’s a tsundere isn’t paying attention. He initiates protective physical contact, the love and concern radiates from him uncontrollably in his expressions and his body language. Even his angry talk is nothing but concern trying to figure out if Fizz is being taken advantage of or not. Of course I have to be a salty bish and say compare this to LooLoo Land where he needs to be convinced to show up with financial pay, despises the physical contact, is disgusted by the unwanted advances, tries to avoid completely. (TO BE WITH A ROBOT FAKE OF THE PERSON HE REALLY LOVES) Lmaoooo defending Fizz’s honour even when he’s not there help——-

Undead Unluck ch.183 thoughts

[Rip Has Two Hands]

(Contents: polyamorous gushing, thematic analysis, Latla analysis)

WHOO!!! THANK YOU, TOZUKA!!!

Being in a polyamorous relationship, it means so much to me and my family to see a scene like this. My wife runs a blog dedicated to polyamory in manga (@polyamanga), and so often potential triads or quads or whatever else will dissolve right at the end because of any number of excuses, like one character realizing that they see the love interest as like their mom, or something, or a harem protagonist insisting that polyamory is morally wrong even though he's too spineless to actually make a choice. It's endlessly frustrating, and even a lot of series that are centered around polyamory still miss the mark in certain ways. Kanojo mo Kanojo, for example, has every single character decrying the act of two-timing consistently despite the fact that that's the lifestyle that they agreed to live! Even the main dude calls himself a scumbag constantly, like he's a monster for actually being honest with his girlfriend and continuing to do something she, again, agreed to!

I don't know what Tozuka plans to do with this relationship, whether it's going to get a lot of focus or if it's going to mostly be a background detail or what, but just getting to see a character actively decide to enter a polyamorous relationship and be met with love and acceptance for that decision is extremely refreshing and exciting. I do hope we get to see them actually acting like a triad and that it doesn't devolve into jealous bickering, but from what we've seen of this group, the bickering that does happen is likely going to be mostly playful. More than anything, though, I hope that we get some more detailed characterization for Leila, as one of the major complaints I've seen is that she's just been generically smiley and supportive, not unlike Ichico in Nico's flashback

But what's wrong with that? Two different characters acted in a similar way in a similar situation, asking for their partner to be happy in the event of their impending death? That's not lazy writing, that's theming! Undead Unluck is about finding happiness through sorrow! Would Fuuko's parents have wanted her to kill herself after she found out that she was responsible for their death? No, they would have wanted her to be happy! Did Isshin's dad want her to lose faith in herself after her armor failed to protect him from a UMA? No, he wanted her to know that she had saved the rest of the village!

While plenty of characters enforce despair on themselves, no one in Undead Unluck deliberately enforces despair on anyone else except for God and the UMA, who represent that very despair. "I have to atone for what I did/this is my cross to bear/I deserve this." Those are all self-imposed rules! And if there's one thing Undead Unluck has taught us, it's that rules are meant to be broken!!! If a rule doesn't benefit or protect those it restricts, then it's just a tool that someone else is using to control them!

And that's exactly what we're told here, too. Society tells us that we have to pick one partner, even if it means someone's happiness has to be lost, but why? What purpose does it serve to compromise on what would make us happy? Sure, if one partner would be unhappy with that outcome, then it may not be worth pursuing, but Latla's objection isn't that she'd be unhappy, it's that other people will judge them for their choice

"Why do you always worry about me?! Why won't you just leave me be?" Latla has already decided that she doesn't get her happy ending because she wants Leila to get hers. She thinks that their happiness is mutually exclusive, so she resigned herself to finding happiness in Leila's happiness. But that's a fallacy. They aren't mutually exclusive, they can have their cake and eat it too, and they'll be happier for it because neither of them needs to think that they've deprived the other of their happiness. Do you think Rip and Leila would be satisfied knowing that Latla was hurting? That she was crying behind a tree while they kissed? That she was slowly backing away and would eventually be gone from their lives if they didn't literally drag her back?

Latla chastised Rip in both this and the previous loop for going out on his own and leaving her behind, but in her own way, Latla was doing the exact same thing. Rip was literally distant, but Latla was emotionally distant, refusing to allow herself to indulge in the happiness that would otherwise be lost to her sister. If she and Rip hadn't held each other at arm's length in the previous loop, how differently would their lives have gone? How happy could they have been? Better question, was happiness even possible for them at the time without Leila? Were they being disrespectful of Leila's wishes, or was the hole too great for them to fill on their own?

Nico couldn't fill the Ichico-shaped hole in his heart with Mico, even though that's what Ichico wanted, for fear that doing so would erase what little was left of her in his heart. Perhaps it was hopeless from the beginning that Rip and Latla would be able to move on without Leila, much like Rip and Leila wouldn't be able to smile knowing that Latla was crying

Undead Unluck is about joy and freedom, and its cast finds joy in living freely. Fuuko fell into despair because she couldn't touch anyone, but found joy when she met someone she could touch freely. Juiz was trapped in a never-ending cycle of loss, but found joy when she met someone who she trusted could break the cycle. Rip and Latla fell apart when they lost Leila, but now can laugh and smile without reservation or guilt because they can be with her forevermore without anyone telling them they can't. And who are we to tell them they can't be happy after everything they've been through?

Homopolyamorous Pride Flag

Homopolyamory: the combination of homoamory and polyamory; a gay polyamorous identity; the practice of mutually consensual intimate relationships with more than one partner while experiencing homo- orientation/attraction.

It could be useful for individuals desiring an equaric equiamory. Flag inclusive of those who are ambiamorous too, as well as those who are exclusively polyam. Inspired on transpolyamorous.

Embracing Love's Infinite Spectrum: The Polyamory Paradigm

In a world that often tries to fit the boundless experience of love into narrow definitions, polyamory emerges as a breath of fresh air. This practice, rooted in honesty, consent, and boundless affection, challenges conventional relational norms and invites us to explore love's infinite spectrum.

1. Ethical Foundations: Polyamory isn't about casual flings—it's built on a bedrock of trust, communication, and consent among all involved parties. It cultivates ethical relationships where everyone's feelings and boundaries are acknowledged and respected.

2. Expanding Emotional Intelligence: Poly relationships encourage individuals to confront jealousy, possessiveness, and other emotional challenges head-on, fostering personal growth and deeper emotional intelligence.

3. Community and Support: Polyamory often builds networks of care, support, and camaraderie that extend beyond traditional monogamous partnerships. This creates a rich communal tapestry where the burdens and joys of life are shared among many.

4. Celebrating Individuality: By allowing partners to explore connections with multiple people, polyamory celebrates the unique individuality of each person. It acknowledges that no single person can fulfill every need and allows relationships to flourish in a more natural and less constrained way.

5. Learning and Growing Together: The dynamic nature of poly relationships encourages constant communication, self-reflection, and mutual growth. The lessons learned in navigating a polyamorous lifestyle often lead to more satisfying and enriching relationships.

6. Breaking Down Traditional Barriers: Polyamory challenges the traditional narrative of possessiveness and exclusivity in relationships. It paves the way for a more inclusive understanding of love, which can be a liberating and eye-opening experience.

7. Unlimited Love: Love is not a finite resource. Polyamory exemplifies this by encouraging the nurturing of multiple loving relationships, enriching the lives of everyone involved.

Polyamory is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but it offers a compelling alternative for those willing to explore the expansiveness of the human heart. By pushing the boundaries of traditional romantic paradigms, polyamory propels us towards a more inclusive and compassionate society.

Gender and Divinity

At one end of the gender spectrum lies the Feminine, associated with Black and darkness, the Earth and mundane matters, collectivity, interconnection, receptivity, cyclicality, synthesis, and heterogeneity. At the other end lies the Masculine, associated with White and illumination, the Heavens and spiritual matters, individuality, separation, exclusivity, linearity, analysis, and homogeneity. These two extremes, Yin and Yang, interact to create a multitude of permutations which lie somewhere in between the purely Feminine and the purely Masculine. Everything that exists as part of what we usually call "reality" is located somewhere in this intermediate space. The extremes themselves are conceptual, and do not exist in material reality, as they are characterized by a purity which cannot be found in Nature.

Sleeping, dreaming, and Death-as-a-state (in contrast with Death-as-a-process) fall within the domain of the Feminine, as do gravity and magnetism, Zero and the even numbers, the elements of Water and Earth, the Moon, and the Cosmic Void or World Egg. Femininity denotes a state of rest, stability, and equilibrium. It promotes slowness and longevity, regeneration and even immortality, characteristic of oceanic or cold environments and the organisms that live there, shielded from the mutagenic properties of solar radiation. The influence of the Feminine on human societies manifests through tribalism, collectivism, and egalitarianism, giving rise to social structures such as animist and polytheistic religions, cults, clans, matrilineal descent systems, polygamy and polyamory, democracy, communism, hedonism, mysticism, subcultures and countercultures. It is driven by the Dionysian impulse to shed the Ego, losing the Self within something larger, like a drop of rain falling into the ocean. The Moon is a mirror; it does not generate its own light.

Femininity is the original and final state of all things. It is prominent in small children and the elderly, more so in non-human animals (especially large and slow-moving animals, those animals which are more primordial or lower on the food chain, as well as small animals with collectivistic tendencies such as ants), even more so in plants, and still more so in rocks, soil, and water. In animals, it is highly oriented toward the senses of touch, taste, and smell. During the course of our evolution, we developed eyes, learned to hunt, learned to walk on land, learned to stand upright, became taller, acquired language and logic, mastered the use of tools and fire, and lost our fur; some of us also lost our melanin. The development of an embryo into an infant, into a child, into an adult, involves a loss of plasticity; bones harden and fuse, the percentage of water in the body decreases, and neural pathways become more rigid. All of these traits indicate a process of Masculinization.

The Masculine is the domain of awareness, alertness, problem-solving, and conflict. It governs changes, transitions, and boundaries. Masculinity is a property of electricity, odd numbers, prime numbers, the elements of Fire and Air, the Sun, and the Axis Mundi. It is dynamic and always in motion, striving to reach the Feminine rest-state, like an arrow flying towards a target, or a key inserted into a lock. The influence of the Masculine on human societies manifests through individualism and inequality, giving rise to colonialism, capitalism, competition, war, monotheism, monogamy, patriarchy, the nation-state, asceticism, and scientific thought. Driven by the Apollonian impulse towards separation and clarity, it prioritizes facts over feelings.

Unable to coexist and seeing plurality as a threat, Masculinity seeks to dominate the Other and propagate the Self, often through violent means; Western culture, Christianity, and Islam are examples of this. Monotheism and patriarchy have a mutual affinity, and in many cases, one promotes the other. The god of a monotheistic religion is usually male. The Sun is the central axis around which all bodies in the Solar System revolve. This tendency of the Masculine to see itself as superior lies behind the association of Light with Good, and Darkness with Evil. Humans, considered as a whole, lean towards Masculinity, and serve as a Masculine counterpart to the natural environment of Earth.

The supreme divinity is like a polygon with an infinite number of sides: simultaneously circular and linear. Fate arises from the interconnection of individual wills, a product of emergent complexity, many individual entities inadvertently working together in a larger system. "GOD" can be described as genderless, or a perfect balance of all possible genders. It has the Feminine quality of Being, and the Masculine quality of Unity. It is an all-pervasive energy field of pure universal consciousness, which can be channeled into various manifestations that possess genders and other specific attributes, like white light being split by a prism into its spectral components. These facets of divinity are conceptualized in every pantheon of deities, in the 12 signs of the Zodiac, in the 22 Major Arcana or 22 letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, in Kabbalah as the 10 Sefirot, in Christianity as the Holy Trinity, in the Tzolk'in as the 20 Naguales, and in Chinese cosmology as the Ba Gua (Eight Trigrams) and 64 Hexagrams of the I Ching.

OF Stray Thoughts

Purely out of curiosity, is there anyone else watching OF who doesn't take issue with the fact that the show depicts slut-shaming as an almost hourly event?

Now hear me out, I'm not saying that I like the slut-shaming in and of itself, my point here is that I don't have a problem with them depicting it because my understanding of Thai culture (as a non-Thai Westerner *that speaks Thai) is that it is fairly commonplace.

Disclaimer: From what I understand/havewitnessed of Thai culture, and I've lived in Thailand, though not excessively puritanical it is very traditional/modest and the idea of any person sleeping around (let alone a young, gay man) isn't one that's easily or readily accepted.

From the beginning I've simply interpreted Chuem and Mew's regular slut-shaming of Boston as a realistic depiction of and commentary on the impact of Thailand's culture and traditional values on young people and how they view sex/relationships. Whereas Boston and Nick's situationship-become-relationship, and their semi-regular discussions/statements on the topic of monogony vs polyamory, as being the counter-balance to all the slut-shaming.

Both sides of the coin are shown, both perspectives have more than one character that represents the respective view points and, most importantly; the audience is left with room to interpret both perspectives. It's always felt to me like more of a commentary on the subject rather than a straight up (pun-intended) condemnation of loose sexual behaviour.

Side Note:

I like Mew, and I'm rooting for TopMew to have at least some semblance of a positive ending, but I don't condone his attitude towards Boston (or Ray for that matter). I also like Cheum well enough but dislike her attitude for the same reason and then some because, of the whole group, she comes accross (to me) as the most judgemental character. Though I do ackowledge that her character was written by a man so that may have an impact on how I subconciously react to her presence in some most scenes.

I also dislike Boston for multiple reasons (his treatment of Nick to a certain extent and his manipuation of Top/Ray etc.) but I love him as a character because of his representation of how love and sex can be enjoyed both seperately and together and how they are neither mutually exclusive nor intrinsically linked.

Anyway, just some thoughts that've been swirling around inside my mind amongst all the SandRay fanfics that threaten to write themselves.

Here, have some cuteness to counterbalance the above brainrot:

Personally I can’t do poly ships outside of porn. Please understand I do not mean I think polyamory is pornographic or purely sexual, what I mean to say is that polyamorous romance is a turn off for me personally but I know poly relationships are just as valid and loving as my own monogamous one.

The idea of sharing a partner romantically is not something my brain likes to explore because I have been in an exclusive relationship with the same person since we were in middle school, and we both are just very monogamous. That being said the, ‘they have two hands’ meme is very cute and I’ve always liked it, but I legit had someone angry with me and un mutual me because I said I didn’t ship their ot3 but I liked and reblogged art of it? Apparently if you like and reblog art you must ship something and not just enjoy the art or dynamic I HAVE to read romance and make content of it too?? It was a strange experience.

Rules Old Rules! Please see Carrd!!

🎀 !! 18+ Only !! Mun is 33, and doesn't have any interest in interacting with minors. Sorry.

🎀 Basic rules of respect, okay? No one liners if the other writes a paragraph, no godmodding, no metagaming, etc. Don't reblog memes and stuff I post without interacting. You know the drill. Respect me, I'll respect you.

🎀There will be NSFW, I will tag it with nsfh (not safe for heaven) but if you don't like that stuff- maybe follow with caution if you want to follow. I won't be hurt if you don't. We can still interact!

🎀I am not mutuals only! I'll probably follow if we start interacting unless there's something about your page I don't want on my dash (what I'm not sure but I guess it's a possibility?) Just feel free to message me!

🎀 Please feel free to message me. I am a ball of anxiety. I'm trying to reach out to people more but it's hard. So please feel free to hit me up first. I'll be so happy that you did!

🎀I am going to try to be playing canon characters, I cannot guarantee 100% canon accuracy as I am not vivzie. Please bear with me and enjoy my way of writing them for who they are.

🎀 I love ships. I will ship with probably anyone that I have chemistry with... so hit me up. Let's talk. ( Polyamory, LGBT, all fine by me. You know the shit that isn't, seriously. P*dophilia, Inc*st, etc are NOT.)

🎀 OC Friendly, obviously. Just like to say it!

🎀 I likely won't be exclusive but if we want to do a little verse for a group or whatever, I'm down for that!

🎀 Trigger Tagging. I don’t personally have any that I know of and I will try to tag everything appropriately. If you need me to tag anything specifically let me know and I’ll do my best!

🎀 Dupes okay! I will happily RP with others who play the same muses I do. I enjoy other takes. I also tag all mine with muse; name for the muse. So for example the tag would look like. muse; lilith so you can follow comfortably and blog the tags if you don't wanna see my take on a charcter!

🎀On the same note, if you want exclusivity- I'm honestly fine with making a sideblog or moving on to private RPs elsewhere if you use discord or some such but still want to interact with me.

🎀I am willing to set up a verse more exclusive to you though- and set up a verse specific tag.

🎀Uncertain about crossovers, I'd prefer you come to hellaverse if that's okay!

🎀If I follow you back I've probably checked your age and that's about it. I will read your rules if we interact though! If I follow first, I've probably at least skimmed them and will go over again should we interact.

🎀On that note, I will try to follow rules but I follow/follow back a lot of people and don't always end up remembering who's rules are who's.

🎀I have a discord I'm willing to share if anyone wants to chat over it or plot!

🎀 I have the freedom to change these when I please.

Women of Xal is 15% off in the Steam Summer Sale!

Hey, did you know that Steam doesn't let you talk about summer sale stuff before the sale actually begins? If you didn't know, then now we both know! Anyway, the visual novel Women of Xal (WoX) is on sale now. If you're new to this, don't worry: so are we. WoX is our company's first game.

[steam][itch.io]

You'll follow Xjena as she begins her climb up the dangerous political ladder against other women eying the same powerful position of Matriarch in an alien society where lying is impossible. Utilize your powers to rewind time as you choose whether to help and support those around you directly, focus on the future, or take advantage of your position to exploit others!

10 to 20 hour story, depending on how much you use the aforementioned rewind function, with countless branching paths.

Four major endings: two bad, one neutral, and one good. Plus a bunch of ways to accidentally end things early by getting Xjena killed.

12 full character arcs with most having options for either romance OR friend routes! 7 women and 8 men. They're not mutually exclusive, either; you can do multiple arcs in one run. That means…

That's right, polyamory is available. As is an aro/ace playthrough! You won't be forced into smooches you don't want.

Over 100 individual unlockable CGs and selfies. Is that too many? I mean, maybe.

140 minute soundtrack with familiar Jazzy vibes, niche ambiance and synth-heavy tracks, and genres I’m pretty sure the composer (see: me) made up.

If you're worried about a POC, queer cast being written by an unknown staff, then fear not; you're not the only one who is asking that question. Our head writer/composer/founder is a Black man, and our co-writer/co-founder is a bi woman. You can see more about our staff on our official website, or just drop by our tumblr and shoot us an ask.

Jump into the lore today! The water is fine. Solve mysteries, make your new friends smile, and go on a journey that will stick with you for a long, long time. Go to Steam for more information and to purchase the game!

(Or, if you're wary of the Valve overlords, we do also have the game on itch.io. u-u)

"less jealousy, more polyamory"

So you think polyamory and jealousy are mutually exclusive?

You think jealousy is immoral somehow? As opposed to a normal and benign human emotion born of the fear of losing someone precious?

You think polyamorous people don't get jealous?

You think jealousy is just a byproduct of toxic monogamy?

Are you twelve?
