Hello! About your most recent post where you asked for songs that we associate with the RO’s : the song “The horns are fake” by Fionn gives me really strong The God vibes . Have a lovely day!

hi!! oh wow, it suits them so well?? not only the vibe of the song, but the lyrics as well. while they like people to be scared of him and they revel in the power that comes with it, he's also just a big guy that wants love, that wants people to see them for who he is.

"You're already back

To the place where you paint on a permanent scowl

Where you spit in the eye of pain"

"Will you tell them that I sunk you deep

Or pretend you don't feel you don't break

Will you tell your friends the Horns are Fake

You stitch them to your head

You can't grow your own cause you're the boy

Who feels too much in bed"

"Will you tell them how you cradled me and gently laid me down

How I was you and you were me just on being crying out"

hope you have a wonderful day as well <33

hii, if anyone has any songs they associate with the ROs please send them my way! i'm working on making their playlists rn and would love to add some songs from you guys <33

[desiderium-if]

Okay this one isn't on the list (I think) but now that whore brain has been activated I keep thinking things up 😭

What would they do if the last night was especially intense and MC got absolutely railed, then MC was walking funny the next day?

Leona - she's definitely concerned. wait no, smug? maybe a little bit of both? she'll occasionally lock eyes with MC and send a subtle smirk their way, almost as if saying "Told you this would happen." but would also stay as close to MC as possible to help them when necessary.

S - confused. is MC not feeling well? they immediately go to them to ask what's going on and when MC explains what the problem actually is they're completely surprised. they did that? SILVAN/SILVA VALORI DID THAT? they're extremely pleased, they just found another thing they're naturally good at.

River - he knew this would happen, it always does, so it doesn't really surprise him. it definitely grows his ego a bit, seeing the heir barely being able to walk because of him. MC won't get to hear the end of it, he'll tease them for the whole day.

Clover - concerned concerned concerned — this has NEVER happened to them before, so they genuinely think they've hurt MC the night before. they'll be with them at all times, brung them water, fetch their food. be sure the next time they're doing it they will be much more gentle than before.

The God - "Oh pet, you should've said something last night. I would've gone even rougher if I knew this would be the result of my hard work". they genuinely find it amusing, and will let everyone in the room know just to stir things up a bit.

what do we think about making playlists for the ROs? oooo and what about a pinterest account for the game? :OO

STOPPP I LOVE THE ARCANA I bought tarot cards from their merch store and they're soooo pretty. Julian is personally my favorite 🙃

AAAAA i wanted to buy their tarot cards for christmas but they were a bit expensive for me at the time😭 i really want a pack though, they're so so beautiful. i also kinda want the Faust plushie😮‍💨

Julian is such a sweetheart!! my favorite is asra, lucio following as a close second. how i wish there was more arcana content pls

[desiderium-if]

How would the ROs react to MC kissing them awake in the morning and telling them they're so beautiful they couldn't resist?

Leona - "Well, now I shall return the favor, yeah?"

S - "You're the best gift the world has offered me, dearest. You know that?"

River - "I am pretty ravishing, aren't I, dove?"

Clover - "MC, you did this on purpose, didn't you? You knew I'll be thinking about this for the rest of the day."

The God - "Not gonna lie there, this must be the first time I've been called beautiful. Handsome? Sure. Absolutely dashing? Yeah. But beautiful? You're the first one to call me that... thanks, I guess."

[desiderium-if]

34, 37 and 56 from the ask prompts!

34. ROs reactions to seeing MC in their clothes at work/in public?

Leona + River - proudly show MC off in front of everyone. why wouldn't they? they look crazy good and everyone needs to know it.

S + Clover - MALFUNCTIONING!! they genuinely can't control the butterflies in their stomach that moment, won't let MC wear anything else other than their clothes from now on.

The God - be prepared for the night of your life, that's all i'm saying (or some fun quality time together for my asexual friends)

37. What would the ROs reactions be, if they struggled to find a good outfit and MC just gave them their [MC’s] shirt/clothing item to wear?

Leona - "You're such a darling, thank you. You know how much I love your style."

S - "O-oh... do you think it will suit me? I mean, of course it will suit me, you picked it for me after all and you have such an amazing style, your clothes always look amazing on you -- I mean you always look amazing in your clothes and-" *cue blabbering for the next 1829300403 hours*

River - "Well that's a turn of events. Didn't know you were so possessive, dear heir."

Clover - "Oh, MC, you're such a lifesaver. Thank you. I'll take good care of this, don't you worry."

The God - "Listen, pet. I appreciate it, I really do, but don't blame me if I'll somehow rip it open. You see, my chest wasn't made to be hidden from the world."

56. What would the ROs reaction be to MC dressing exactly like the RO(s)?

answered here! <3

[desiderium-if]

What's the inspiration behind the ROs?? 💜

+ someone else asked this as well, but i accidentally deleted your ask, i'm so sorry!! 😭😭

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!! LONG POST AHEAD ⚠️

so let's start with Silvan/Silva. @lifesupreme-if already knows about this, but S was actually inspired by my very own best friend which i also have a crush on (we're going to call them K for privacy purposes). obviously some things have been changed and tweaked to fit the story and the character i have in mind better, but their core personality was inspired by them. K and i have known each other for over a year now and we became best friends a few months after we first talked with each other, which is also the time i started to have feelings for them. now, if we do some quick maths (i'm horrible with numbers btw don't count on me if you ever need help with math😭) we'll realize i've had a crush on K for over a year. i know that'd mean i'm in love with them but hahhHahahaHhhHahaha let's not go there😮‍💨 while i acknowledge i genuinely love them, i don't think they feel the same way, so i'm coping by using their wonderful personality for one of my ROs!! the cold and stoic, sarcastic type that doesn't like anyone but has a soft spot for a specific person, the way they remember stuff about other people, they way they care, the way they slowly open up, the way they've never been truly loved properly, the way they always suffer in silence,,, all of these traits found in S's personality were inspired by K. (was this just an excuse for me to talk about my crush best friend??? probably.)

Leona and Clover are the kind of characters i always knew would be in my IF. even before figuring out the entirety of the plot i knew i'd want a strong woman with a sword, and i knew i'd want a mage with white hair. it just made sense to me to have these two characters in the story. to be honest, Clover's character being a RO was pretty much a last minute change. There were supposed to be only four love interests, but Clover was way too perfect to not add them in the mix. they were inspired by this character called Asra from the mobile dating sim The Arcana (which i HIGHLY recommended, it's one of my favorite games/stories ever, i've been obsessed with it for, like, a year now) and they have really similar traits appearance wise. Leona wasn't inspired by anything in particular, except for my love for women with swords😮‍💨 even though i figured out her personality later on, i had her appearance in mind from the very beginning.

River is, well, a guilty pleasure you could say. i've always had a weakness for flirty and charming characters, bonus points if they're a pirate! he's definitely inspired by all the wattpad bad boys i was obsessed with when i was 14😭😭 i think he came from the very hidden depths of my mind and soul that secretly long to be a princess stolen by pirates, then fall in love with their captain (pretty much the first few chapters of desiderium HAHA). The God... okay wow, how do i put this. The God is genuinely everything i love in a RO. i go absolutely feral for non-human love interests, i don't know why. maybe the thought of a god, an immortal — a supernatural in general — LOVING a mere human just does it for me. all the better when they're a complete and utter dumbass that flirts nonstop. they seem somehow harmless at first, but they could, and would, kill you in an instant.

that's about it! i hope i didn't blabber on too much, i'm sure most of the things i said didn't even make much sense😭 but i was just in the mood to talk about my ROs :D hope you all got to know them a bit better!!

[desiderium-if]

How would ROs react to a MC who always says “I’m fine” even when they are not? if you don't mind and thank you 💛

Leona - can probably see the easiest trough MC since they've known each for the longest, but won't push them if they don't want to talk about it. she'll give them their space and make cute little mugs in the meantime to surprise MC with.

S - frankly, they're a bit hurt MC wouldn't talk to them about whatever is bothering them. they'll probably start overthinking and wonder if MC actually trusts them, but they're also upset their loved one isn't doing well. S will definitely spend the night — angrily? sadly? confusingly? — playing the piano.

River - i don't know how he does it but he has a way of making people feel surprisingly comfortable when he wants to. MC will probably end up talking about their problems wether they realized it or not, so River is glad they got it off their chest.

Clover - lots and lots of reassurance "it's okay, i'm here for you." and "you don't need to talk about it if you don't want to, just know that i'm always here." they hope MC will let their walls down one day.

The God - extremely obnoxious and will ask tons of questions "why are you upset" "who upset you" "come on, stop worrying about it" and the likes. they don't know how to comfort people properly, but will leave little doodles of him and MC around to (hopefully) cheer them up.

[desiderium-if]

How would the ROs react to MC asking them to hold something and then giving them their hand?

Leona - "Better believe I'm going to hold that hand for the rest of my life."

S - "Who taught you how to be so cunning? Hmm, my love?" they say with a fond smile.

River - he smirks. "Dove, if you wanted me to hold your hand you could've just said so."

Clover - they kiss your knuckles with a light smile on their lips. "You're a real joy, you know that?"

The God - BITES YOU (lovingly) "Wait, what? I wasn't supposed to bite you? Well how was I supposed to know that, huh?"

[desiderium-if]

Alright, say Leona and MC end up in the exact lead up scenario Leona thought of when she was having her fantasies. How much would she freak out? Does she think of lead up scenarios or it (ahem) straight to buisness?

referring to this ask!

she would definitely freak out for a few seconds😭 she's never expected to ever do it with MC in the first place, let alone for her fantasies to play out. she'll try her best to lead MC trough said scenario if they're into that!

edit: why did no one tell me i forgot to link the ask😭😭

[desiderium-if]

mc at the gods boobies

HAHAHHA PLEASEEE i have to write this in the game somewhere, i just HAVE TO😭😭

[desiderium-if]

very important question: if mc is having a bad day will the god let them bury their face in his titties?? i think it would help <3

100% they'd let MC bury their face in his titties!!! it's therapeutic for him too, so it's definitely a win-win 😮‍💨

[desiderium-if]

just going to drop this little thing from chapter 1 for the Leona lovers <3

[desiderium-if]

(Nsfw) following on the ‘touching themselves’ ask, would Leona or The God act any different next time they’re around Mc? or are they pretty chill/shameless lol

follow up of this ask

Leona would absolutely avoid eye contact at all costs and is way less talkative than usual. she feels extremely guilty over it, even though she still can't help but picture MC in whatever fantasy she had the night before whenever she hears their voice.

The God doesn't have an ounce of shame in their whole entire body, so i think it's safe to assume they would be more than chill about it. he simply doesn't care and will boldly swipe their tongue over his lips whenever they make eye contact with MC.

What was the ROs biggest childhood dream? Why? from the ask game!

46. What was the ROs biggest childhood dream? Why? (from this ask game)

Leona - she wanted to become a potter! she just finds it amazing how people are able to create stuff like mugs and all that with their own two hands. it's actually her current hobby and you might get to see a bit of it in the game!

S - i think they would've liked to become a musician if they weren't the heir of their kingdom. they play the violin and piano, so they would have made use of that to earn their livelihood later on. S loves music, it lets them speak everything they can't say with words.

River - probably to be a bladesmith! he loves forging knives, daggers, swords and other of the sort. he remembers his mother making and selling this kind of weapons and it's something he has been interested in ever since.

Clover - until [REDACTED] happened, they didn't have a clear idea of what they wanted to do, they never did. after their father died they became solely focused on becoming a mage and haven't thought about doing anything else.

The God - they never were a kid per se, so they haven't had a childhood, but he's always wanted to pet an octopus. don't ask me why, i don't know, but he won't give up until he touches that damn octopus.
