Does MC knew Juliette was married before they started pursuing her? I don't like the cheating trope but so I'm hopefully curious about how you're planning to go along with it
ah bonnie, cheating is an automatic ‘no’ for me irl but in fiction, it’s more of a grey area. i won’t sit here and tell you that it’s 100% a-okay, but context does matter and that here is that juliette’s marriage to viscount phillipe is built on nothing but monetary ties and the boost of their respective patriarch’s status in the french society.
MC will be made aware of juliette’s marriage and also that there wasn’t, and has never been, any love between her and the man she’s married to; viscount phillipe doesn’t even know what juliette’s favourite flowers are and expects her to shut up after he sends his servants to pick out random ones and throws them at her face as a gesture of ‘care’. he himself says that he likes visiting brothels more than he likes spending time with his wife.
trust me, the only reason he even cared that juliette was having an affair in the first place was because it made him look like an idiot in front of everyone. the people working in his estate highly prefer juliette over him, which is saying something since he’s the one paying them 💀

The three royal families of the Tri-Kingdom of Vestur have enjoyed many generations of peace on their home soil. But when the miners who supply artefacts to the magic-using aristocracy stage a revolt, the whole country (and the social order) is thrown into chaos.
If you’ve ever wondered “who are those guys you two keep drawing” - here’s the answer! (This is by the way, only a sampling of some main characters.)
Forever Gold is a black/anthro, dark fantasy IF RPG being developed in the Twine engine by me and LSDolphin.
If you wanna keep up with occasional updates about this project, give us a follow and/or take a gander below.
It is a story about changing times and no-win political situations - as played through a protagonist put into a position of power who is particularly very, very bad at any sort of diplomacy.
While I would describe the over-all tone as dark and for more mature audiences, it is far from devoid of levity.
The gameplay mainly revolves around dealing with and occasionally manipulating powerful people and their batshit ideas, in order to secure what you think is the best outcome for your family and people. (And sometimes that involves indulging a Lord in procuring his prize hog from the middle of war zone.)
I’m not currently committing to posting dev logs (I may eventually, if anyone were to care about such a thing), but production is underway and I love to muck around answering questions about the project, world, and characters in my spare time.
(Also, why “black/furry”? Because you can play as either human or “snout mode”. Solely because I wanted to. It’s mainly a cosmetic difference - changes in talk sprites and body language descriptions.)
My plan is for episodic releases, so... stay tuned, if you’d like. ; )

The boys lack genre awareness in general. It’s a trend I’ve noticed in translations and adaptations. Achilles thinks he’s in a Bodice Ripper Romance. Half the time Patroclus thinks he’s in Tragedy à la Sophocles and the other half it’s like Chivalry Historical Fiction. What they both don’t know is they’re actually in a Shakespearean stage play directed by Quentin Tarantino and produced by early-career Mel Brooks. And unfortunately for them Tolstoy did an uncredited rewrite (though the rumors suggest it was actually Hugo). smh
Lmaooo YES I agree with all of the above. Achilles and Patroclus are usually in a world of their own no matter the translation/adaptation, honestly 🤣 The funniest thing even in the Iliad is the other generals losing their shit and getting their ass handed to them for several books, meanwhile Achilles and Pat are chilling in their camp and probably getting up to all sorts of sit com level shenanigans with the other Myrmidons. Living in their own niche since 13th cent BC ✌️

oh hey! video with all the barcus wroot voice lines is up! i haven't added the subtitles yet (that won't take long, though)
i know we can read everything in the parsed dialogue folders, but i'm one of those people who likes hearing the line delivery!
also, i guess i half-lied when i said he had no cut lines. there are a couple labeled IMPOSSIBLE based on the state of Moonrise (most act 2 characters have something like that), but there's also a branch of dialogue that seems to only exist if you didn't invite him to your camp? which as far as i know is impossible to get. i tried a variety of ways, he won't show up if not invited.
was anyone able to actually get these? very cute lines hidden in here!
my favorite is him calling wulbren a "parochial sort" if you're githyanki. and several of these feel like insight to their childhood dynamic that reinforces my own headcanons of it
also, fun little trivia if none of you watch these--i think it's incredibly funny that dario can clearly play anything but the directors thought he was so good at being pathetic and tortured that they kept making him do those voices in BG3

I cast spell of ungun
all ranged weapons¹ on Earth or in its general vicinity fall apart and turn into small orbs which have the exact same mass and materials as the weapon but now in several small orbs which cannot easily be reassembled into a weapon.
as soon as anyone crafts a new weapon I turn it into orbs. this doesn't end violence but it significantly complicates things and slows it down. many people - such as cops, politicians, and particularly passionate antique collectors - are angry and want to kill me for this but they can't reach me with their rangeless weapons and harmless orbs and I watch them from my wizard tower and laugh but then I notice that my wiimote has orbified.
puzzled and concerned by the implications, I ponder the orbs...
1. a ranged weapon is defined as any inanimate object whose intended purpose is to injure or kill humans without touching them directly or with a held weapon.

*aggressively points at a sign that says "just because mori isn't as bad as some might make him out to be - for example, saying he was abusive to dazai is entirely speculation/exaggeration and not backed by canon - doesn't mean everything people 'accuse' him of is false. he quite literally says he likes young girls multiple times and calls elise his wife. he is a pedophile. i get that you like him bc he's very interesting but that doesn't mean he is only mildly evil just for being manipulative or smth. learn to cope with the idea that characters can be complex and do awful things you don't condone even in fiction. stop erasing parts of him for the sake of your own comfort. that's boring as hell. also kind of counterintuitive to bsd as a whole imo"* (yes it is a very big sign.)
