I sent that ask about flowers in the attic; i agree. Things like bed sharing as adults, cheek/head kisses, casual undress around same gender, hugging, are all normal and unsexual in my non-Anglo family but you can’t mention it or people get weird about it.

From what I’ve read it has to do with puritan culture. The type of people who are ok with gory violence but draw the line at sex or affection between anyone related/non-related as inherently romantic

I could go on how this affects how affectionate male friendships are perceived in media but I digress

The Metal Part Under the Cart

I am going to badly misquote this, but there's a bit from a book that I think about all the time when I write. It's a little passage from the start of Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings, which did not age well, but which I liked a lot as a kid.

When I'm spending a lot, and I mean a lot, of time ensuring that a character's outfit looks just right (and we're in a textual medium here, so "looks" means described) or that the bit of verse I'm composing for a character to speak scans as proper pentameter, I am asked why I am spending so much time on this tiny detail that basically nobody is going to notice, ever.

This is a particularly pronounced issue in interactive fiction where a vanishingly small percentage of readers might even see a particular scene.

But then I think about that moment from that book, where a blacksmith is asked why he spends so much time on a metal piece on the bottom of a cart when nobody is going to see it, ever, and the smith replies that he knows it's there, and it's important that it look right for him.

I have retained essentially nothing from that book after thirty-plus years, but I think about that one moment at least once a week when I write.

Do you crave deliciously detailed interactive fiction? What about noninteractive nonfiction? Look no further! Visit the Noble Gases Club, and read a tremendous amount of completely free chitchat about writing IF and writing in general.

Play a long demo about a cheerful 1930s London club and the foibles of the wealthy-but-not-very-clever, and perhaps you'll be moved to stick around at the Noble Gases club.

ravi come home……….the kids (fog thingies) miss u………..

The tiniest little Ravi preview for you, Nonnie. Since the kids miss him ;p

[thisghosts-obsessions-again]

i bet he was bricked up in this scene😭🙏🏻

Now I’m having girl dad Ravi brainrot 😖. Tea parties with his princesses? Yup! He already has his tiara on!!! Doing their hair!!! Teaching them Hindi, how to cook!!! Can totally see him making their baby blankets btw. Jay is shocked bc omg who are you. What Happened to my little weirdo Who lives above a funeral home? Who would make scalpel jokes and wear mostly black? Why are you in a Pink and glittery Tutu?

This is soooooo cute oh my god. Honestly Ravi would probably be one of the better parents of all of the ROs, though he'd also be a deeply, deeply weird parent. He'd love the hell out of his kid though. I'm dying because this is so sweet 😭

When Dostoevsky said, "Pain changes you, but it teaches. That is its mercy." but Kafka said, "Pain changes nothing. It just repeats itself until you forget who you were before it started."

And Sylus too! They are in a deep shit with the bad guys behind them and he just “She is so cute. I think I got hard”

Croft is trans?

Croft is trans, yes!

It occurs to me that I don't necessarily mention that anywhere other than the RO page (where you can find the ROs in-depth physical descriptions as well as gender & sexuality) and the occasional ask, though.

You catch Rainn inhale sharply through his nose before putting his phone away. Before that, you spot the phone background of you and Rainn smiling in a selfie. It makes your heart swell.

Lol Rainn broke up with the MC but still kept a picture of them as their background??? 🤦🏾‍♀️

SPOILERS

Jokes on you fucker, you tried to kill me but only made me stronger!!!

[thisghosts-obsessions-again]

I wanted to ask since we already got one of the scenes where Nia saves Crowny and kills the douche bag who tried to kill Crowny at the Halloween party. (This would probably give the impression that Nia would kill for our MC with no remorse and without blinking) What I wanted to ask was what would each character do for Crowny too?

( I'd prefer you choose those characters based on the one's you had the most fun creating in your own head or who you generally just like.)

( Lastly if you were given the opportunity to get a famous director to direct WWC, who would you want. Remember this is your own fantasy dream director and who would you want playing each character?)

Thank you!

So the reason each ro killed for crowny is different and they’ll likely say why they did it. It’s pretty obvious Nia did for love

It does depend on when. Right now? Well each would kill for them. Although in my wwc universe killing isn’t the biggest thing someone can do for someone. I would say it’s sacrifice (whatever that word means to you) and perhaps you’ll see it in season 2. I can’t answer yet 🤐

if ravi were to get out alive… what would he…. do in the outside world? with or without mc?

The way you wrote this question delighted me deep into my bones Nonnie than you so much.

I unfortunately can't actually like...get too deeply into it because of ~spoilers~ BUT I can tell you what his dream would be.

Ravi would love to get a little house in a little town by a lake. Not this one lmao--maybe by some mountains. If with MC he'd of course love to have them there. He'd want to open up a little used & rare bookstore and just live a quiet and cozy life.

He'd miss the funeral home, but that's what he'd want if he were to get out.......but he doesn't think that's possible, and dreaming about impossible things brings nothing but trouble.
