#romanceable characters

So someone asked whether the MC will be forced to like the kids to get with the ROs, and another person a while back wanted to know whether MC could be a "bitchy" camp counselor. This is generally kind of important so I figured I'd write a post about it, for anyone who's wondering.

If you can't stand kids and can't stand reading about them, that's valid, and I promise I don't judge. Lord knows kids are difficult. But if you cannot stand them, this probably isn't the game for you.

You don't have to adore the kids. But you have to be kind to them. Not just to get with the ROs... But also, to keep your job!! Fun!

The SHC MC is not a listless teenager who got ordered by their parents to be a counselor at a summer camp. They're a full-fledged adult, likely in their late twenties or thirties. They're also likely to have either studied some educational subject or have training and experience in education. They do the kid-stuff for a living. THEY GET PAID FOR IT.

I've decided for the MC to be able to reject the children in some ways. You can tell Javier to leave you alone in the kitchen, later in chapter 4 you can reject a flower Gabriel wants to give you... Stuff like that. Nothing extreme, but little things to show MC might not actually care very much about the campers.

This will leave an impression.

A) The kids will lose all possible respect and trust towards you. Might not be a great loss, depending on your stance on them.

B) The ROs will be wondering what the hell you're doing. Let me go into why that's the case:

Basil volunteered. He has a hundred siblings which he adores. He loves kids!

Reem is a literal teacher. She's around kids all the time. She gets if MC is exhausted by them, but if they act straight up hostile towards the kids, she will be very open about her disapproval.

Flo--- same thing. Just because he's sometimes very deadpan doesn't mean he doesn't care. Apart from teaching children for a living, he has had a very troubled childhood and relates to the campers. He wants them to be happy.

Anita is a psychology student. Sure, that doesn't exempt her from hating kids technically, but even though they stress her out, she actually rather likes them, too. Enough to want to do her internship at Cloverleaf.

And C) if George sees you being openly hostile to the kids, he might just reconsider your status of employment.

To reiterate: If you can't stand kids and can't stand reading about them, that's valid, but this probably isn't the game for you.

Romanceable characters

Here are some personal preferences about the romanceable characters in Scarlet Hollow. Feel free to comment your own thoughts, I’d love to know!

(For reference, I’m considering romanceable characters: Stella, Avery, Kaneeka, Oscar, Reese, Dr. Kelly and Wayne. Maybe they’ll add more in the future, but these answers only take into account what has happened in the game so far).

Most physically attractive: Avery.

Least physically attractive: Wayne/Reese. To clarify, I should make a distinction between Wayne’s concept and practical reality. I do like his design; he’s portrayed as a strong man and his covered face makes him mysterious hot. But we know that he’s all goopy and possibly dead and decomposing, so he’s the least attractive for me. If we only consider the design, then I’d say Reese.

Most interesting: Wayne. In a “what the fuck is going on – this provides a new understanding of the fabric of reality” kind of way.

Least interesting: Oscar.

Favorite style: Avery.

Least favorite style: Oscar.

Least likely to pick their route: Dr. Kelly.

Sometimes...characters being in a romantic relationship is worse.

#text #sometimes it's the most boring way to have characters interact #sometimes it's worse than the chemistry they have as literally any other kind of relationship #sometimes their platonic dynamic is better #sometimes their hostile dynamic is better #sometimes their dynamic is better if it's anything other than romance #because maybe them falling into generic romance is how you ruin their characters. #aro #aromantic #aroace #i only tag these because it feels relevant to why i feel this way

You keep telling yourself that Namari.

#dungeon meshi #Namari #Kiki Tansu #kikimari #lets fill that tag! #Originally I wanted to just draw the twins in their gnome outfits. #But then I spent 2 hours listening to Mika's Big Girl and I was like “You're so right singer-songwriter Mika. I have to draw Namari” #Anyways I've been practicing with diversifying body shapes as part of my art studies and I really enjoy it!!! #I can't wait until Tade shows up so I can draw more big girls. #By the way - since a lot of people have recently gotten into Dungeon Meshi and finished the manga #Please let me bring your attention to the Adventurers Bible! It's filled with so many extra character focused comics and lore! #We love canon bisexual Namari and the situationship she has with Kiki. #The manga itself doesn't really touch on romance in general but behind the scenes there is yearning. And leg pouches.

[bbygirl-paul]

it's wild to me that people act as if chani's primary reason for leaving paul was bitterness about being a concubine like girl..... i promise that did not even register in her brain compared to the realization that paul had chosen to become her people's oppressor, to become her oppressor, to destroy the equality that was very foundation of their relationship. i promise her agency and her loyalty to her people, things which existed before paul and will exist after him, were more important to her than how "official" her relationship would be considered within a system she did not care about.

How would the Ro's answer the toughest question to ever exist. The "would you still love me if I was a worm?"

🪱

A very tough question indeed.

Anita: "Um... I just... I mean, I would, but I want to get married someday and it'd be difficult if you were a worm. Wait! Actually... could you be our wedding ring?? I could wear you... around my finger..."

Basil: "...I'm sorry, but I think I prefer your human form. I do love you though. Very much."

Reem: "Yeah, sure, honey :)" That's it. No questions asked. She's wholly serious btw. She'll protect her worm wife/husband/spouse at all cost.

Flo: "A worm? Why not a snake? I might actually love you more if you were a snake. ... Oh fine, worm it is, then. But I have questions. Are we both worms in this scenario? If not, did I meet you before you became a worm or after? Or were you always a worm? Because I fell in love with human you, so I think I might actually keep on loving you if you became a worm. But if you were a worm from the beginning, I honestly don't think I'd have fallen in love with you. I don't regularly talk to many worms, you see. And I can't imagine falling in love with a random worm I've never met before. Although, did you hear Tesla allegedly fell in love with a pigeon? I'm pretty sure they didn't have conversations. So if he could do it, maybe I could also fall in love with a random worm. It just seems very unlikely. Speaking of which, how would we communicate? It'd be a very one-sided relationship, wouldn't it?"

It'll go on like that for the next hour or so. Babygirl would just be endlessly confused, he'd have so many questions.

People treat characters being AroAce like they're being forced to eat vegetables despite the fact that a character being aspec instantly makes them 300% more cool and interesting.
