Some would say he dives headfirst without thinking, according to Cam it's always thought out. His "impulsiveness" is part of his charm. He could care less about others, but one look in your direction is all it takes to soften him up. Cam is confident, sarcastic, and some would say rude. Yet never to you. You can’t help noticing how he looks at you, has it always been this adoringly? Cam works as a photographer.

Regardless, Cam was able to soften their tough exterior. Getting close to one another was inevitable. Your chemistry undeniable. That was until a fight one night at the dorms. Now G barely looks your way. No witty comment, no stolen glances when they thought you weren't looking. Can you fix the fracture in your relationship? G works as a veterinarian.

Will you be the one who finally gets Isaac to give love a chance?

Route- Fear of Commitment, Double Life

Everyone has a bad word to say about Ardent. Even his cat (who is the cause of the scars on his arms). Since seeing you something about you has just rubbed him the wrong way, always quick to throw a snide comment your way. Ardent is the type who you could argue with about anything, wanting to pull his hair out afterwards. Surely, he can’t be that bad right? There must be a good bone in him somewhere, are you willing to find it, and find what has hardened his heart? resident dilf

Reblogs would be appreciated <3

Can you name who’s red flag and why? I’m so sorry if you already did

No worries! 💗 I don't think I mentioned the reasons why they're red flags. So, the two red flags are Aurelian and Soul Collector.

Aurelian

Aurelian is very possessive and controlling when it comes to things he considers "his." Some of this behavior stems from his upbringing. 🤔 He is the one who betrayed MC and imprisoned them, due to his selfishness or other reasons. His behavior raises many questions. However, when you delve deeper into his story, you'll find that he does tone it down for MC.

Soul Collector

They literally want MC's soul. What more can I say? 🤭 Not only that, but they are very protective, almost possessive, of MC. You might argue it's solely because they want MC's soul, but is there more to it than meets the eye? They're also decisive and tricky; it's hard to tell if they're being truthful or if it's just another trick for their own plans.

Good to hear! I'm also doing great! Got 39 hours in bg3 and we'll on my way to rizzing up Asterion!

I’m not sure if this has asked before, but in one of the customization options, we can choose to have a pendent with the letter A. Is it related to our king Aurelian? 👀

If it is I’d feel obligated to choose that one lol…FOR REVENGE

PS. The new demo looks great! Seems like you have much more freedom to work with, and I like the text effects you put in!

You will see~ I have to say there are several options in the jewelry question that lead to flavor text in future chapters. ✨

Thank you!! 🥹 and yeah, I'm super glad I switched to Twine. It can be difficult at times, but as you said, it offers more freedom to work with.

Writing Update

I wrote about 1000 words today, which may not be much to some, but I'm very proud of myself! 😊 

Also, I'm making mood boards on pinterest for the MC and ROs. I will post them on the intro post later, if anyone is interested. :)

I'm also thinking of posting some voices for the characters, just for fun. Of course, you're all free to imagine how each of them sounds!

Sneak peek of character customization! :)
