Mhin accidentally walks in on mc changing:

This is actually something I’m really curious about, but when the game comes out in 2025, are you guys going to try and get the good ending or the bad ending first? I’ve been reading you guys getting excited to enable the LI into doing terrible shit, but as a person that wants the happily-ever-after with the LI and then replay the route to explore the bad endings for the spicy angst, trying to get a bad ending on the get-go is new to me 🧐. I need to know your guys opinions.

Reblog the writers’ fortune cookie for luck!

Do other writers ever get this like, hyper-specific dialogue exchange drop into their brains and you know exactly where these character are standing and what they’re doing and how they’re saying these words but that’s all you get. You don’t have much other context and this specific moment that exists only at this time in your headspace??

you know what they say about still waters. no. i don't.

I know everyone (me included) loves theorizing about all the horrific things the LIs will do but I cant help but think about all the cringe lovey dovey stuff🫥 heres just some ideas

Leander

Making dinner together (i hc both him and mc suck at cooking.) Leander will not follow the cook book bc ~he’s a rebel~ and create something more cursed than kuras did

I also keep going back to this idea of taking care of him somehow. Like he gets injured, or mc wants to help him sleep or smth. Sorry but leander does scream hidden mommy issues to me (its the obsession with goddess symbols for me) so he’ll be so into someone fussing over him lmao

Vere

I rlly hope there will be a scene were mc gets to do art with vere!! There will probably be a moment where mc discovers sketches of themselves or some type of nude still life posing tho

Ais

Playing with princess and maybe his other pets (maybe cliche but idc) I just know ais will have heart eyes for an mc who’s interested in his pets. I also hc ais will lowkey treat mc like a pet too lmao. Its probably not as sinister as leander tries to imply tho. I think ais is just a considerate guy

Like idk but aside from the honesty, i think giving him the benefit of doubt/seeing the best in him is gonna be such a big part of his route.

I’m hoping that we get to meet other Bloodhounds members in Leander’s route, since Kuras mentions Leander’s closest peers are “results of Lowtown’s harsh realities” and are “questionable,” but trust him “with their lives.”

How messed up are his closest peers? Are they better or worse than Leander? Do they know how Leander is like behind the scenes? A part of me thinks maybe not, since Leander wouldn’t want anyone, even his closest friends from the Bloodhounds to have a leg up on him and use it against him for leverage. BUT if they do know, do they instigate and enable him into doing terrible shit or do they just watch their leader commit crimes and not say anything so he can keep his spotless reputation?

I’m starting to think it’s not just Leander that’s messed up, like every single one of those members are messed up in some way. I’ve mentioned in a previous post Kuras states “Leander prefers those like him,” and so the attitude and vibe of the Bloodhounds should also reflects on him as a person.

Anyway, I hope we get to see more members in his route and their relationship with each other and the leader. I want to meet the OG members of the Bloodhounds, and know their opinions and thoughts on Leander.

Shapeshifter who gets horribly grotesque and mutilated when flustered

Hi. Is this anything.

At first, Vere would make more sense but I think it would be more funnier if it is Leander getting headlocked by Ais.

[xvi-the-tower]

No wait, i think leander and ais’ routes/ way to their heart might be in opposite directions. I think ais needs someone who sees the best in him despite it all, and leander needs (but likely will try to kill at first) someone who sees through his shit and tries to (marginally) set him straight. Leander with a yes man mc will likely lead to death lol. So will ais with a sceptical mc (why he hates mhin sm)

Nice whumpy thing: when people are intensely pragmatic about their injuries illnesses.

“Listen, if I pass out…”

“If you let up pressure, I’ll bleed out. So just, don’t move.”

“I know it ill hurt, just do what you need to.”

How to make a romance story:

Braid it.

Each of your characters should have their own lives, wants, desires, etc going on that intersect often. They each have a different plotline of their own going on. THEN you have the romance plotline weaving between their two lives.

Say hello to Perseus <3 he's a mage and gets his sources from shady places, he used to be Mallory's best friend until.... well, let's just say he's not trustworthy :) but he'll still charm the hell out of you~
