If you're ok with another similar clothing ask, how would the ROs dress for something like the Oscars (as MC's date)? Would they go for something more traditional/classic or pushing the boundaries?

Ok so it took a little while I think I got it

Hope pre-MC would wear something that would upset the stiff upper lip types that hold the Oscars up as something sacred

But if they were MC's date they would prioritise coordinating their outfit to compliment MC's so that would vary too wildly for me to find satisfactory examples I'm afraid lol

Christian would wear a designer suit with an eye-catching twist or flair to make it more interesting

Christina would walk that line between classic beauty and almost too much skin on show

Samata would wear something ethereal that highlighted her arms/shoulders because she doesn't spend all that time working out just for fun

Jamie would just slay a good suit tbh lol

and Anjelo would wear a suit with a soft pattern/theme

I just want to say I'm excited for IF and can't wait to play! I hope you have a wonderful week 💖

[erotomania-if]

VERY IMPORTANT!!! i hope we can choose to dress mc like they live in the barbie dreamhouse or something bc I live for """cupcakes and glitter""" next to hope's """punk and drunk""" look as my dad calls these aesthetics sdghjkafl and also just because pink and pastels are my fave colors

Yes, absolutely!

I have an ongoing list of things I want to add into the CC that includes a general description of the way your MC usually dresses and sparkly/glittery is definitely one of them lol.

I haven't 100% figured out how to implement the idea of a preferred colour palette, I could add it in as an option but I'm not sure where/how often it would actually be used? So even if I include it it might become a bit of a junk stat but that's not the worst thing tbh.

There'll also be a choice about how you decorated your house, and barbie dreamhouse is literally on the list, so I got you covered on that one at least ❤ lol

Still thinking about @erotomania-if so here’s Lorena and Hope before ~*the incident*~ hence the absolute adoration in her eyes.

(Peep the L tattoo I gave m!hope for her name and peep the Cupid shooting an arrow at it 🥺)

Can’t wait for them both to cry 🤩

[erotomania-if]

you literally didn't even mention the angry about cheating anons lol some people are so eager to attack you i don't understand it

I didn't mention them, no, lol. But I can't control what people feel... I dunno... attacked/offended by so there's no reason to worry about it, honestly! ❤

[erotomania-if]

Man you're biased going off on the anons that hate hope for !!! CHEATING!!!! but praising all the forgiving anons smh

...dude I'm the author... of course I'm biased?

What kind of looks would the ROs wear to the Met Gala (either attending in their own right or as MC's date for the non-celebs)? Would they play it safe or go all out for the theme?

Clothing posts.. my sweet sweet kryptonite ❤ lol

Ok soooo...

Hope goes all out, bigger, better, and exactly the opposite of whatever people would picture them in, regardless of gender

Chris commits to the bit, plays with gender expectations

Samata I'm torn about... Either makes a statement...

Or rocks up looking like she should be carrying a sword

Jamie channels Ezra in a good suit with a statement piece

And then Anjelo, poor, sweet, out of his depth Anjelo lol so far out of his wheelhouse he just wears a much nicer suit than normal, one that he's pretty sure he won't sweat through during the night lol

so i’ve never been cheated on but i have witnessed the aftermath of it from my parents' relationship. having listened to what both my parents have had to say about it and what family friends have had to say about it, it seems like their relationship was doomed from the start. they fought a lot, even before the cheating happened, and they broke up not long after i was born. however, i say all this to say that despite all the shit that has happened between them, believe it or not, they are each other's best friend.

even to this day, i don't understand the how or the why of it all but they truly have a bond like no other. their relationship is strictly platonic; i just don't think they were meant to love each other romantically (not for forever at least). but they understand each other better than anyone else and if one of them is in trouble, the other will help them, no questions asked. despite the fighting and everything else they've put each other through, their love for each other is so strong, it's crazy. of course, not everyone understands their relationship. some people will never understand it. like i said, i still don't fully understand it and when i was growing up, the fact that they were still so close actually made me mad.

this is turning into a very long tangent (my apologies) but i brought this up because the truth of the matter is, relationships are complicated. i am not at all excusing what hope did and mc has every right to be mad and lash out (bc that’s certainly what i would do) but at the end of the day, hope and mc still love each other and that’s what makes this whole thing so complicated. now whether their love for each other remains romantic is completely up to the player but the love is still there and in reality, it’s not easy to just drop all of it because of one bad thing that happened. mc of course doesn’t have to stay with hope but their relationship doesn’t need to end on bad terms either (and every emotion and ending is valid because we all handle and process things differently). we as the audience may not understand it (especially bc we don’t know hope like the mc does - i mean they are a fictional character) but that’s just life; everyone does things for reasons we will never understand. and not everything has to be black and white: it's possible to love someone who has done you wrong and to have conflicting feelings towards (and maybe even "hate") a loved one. mc and hope are still allowed to love each other after all of this, whether it be in a romantic way or a strictly platonic way.

(sorry this is so long haha. the topic of cheating kind of strikes a nerve for me because of my parents and after reading some of the responses from some very angry anons, i felt like sharing my thoughts. i mean, those anons are valid in feeling angry towards what hope did but that doesn't mean they should be allowed to attack other anons who want to forgive hope or you for trying to explain that the situation is complicated)

❤❤❤

I’m very excited about the @erotomania-if so I preemptively drew my MC

Her name is Lorena and she’s never done anything wrong ever.

In my head she’s the eldest child in a big family so she has HUGE mom friend energy. Pray for her cause she’s gonna stick with Hope.

[erotomania-if]

Ever since you said m!Hope has MGK vibes, I can't stop thinking of that stupid "You smell like weed." "I am weed." exchange with him and MC.

Awww Anon, I know! I've said before that I won't make it an option but LAWD the temptation is there lol

[erotomania-if]

"Starring Role" by Marina and the Diamonds and maybe "Whataya Want from Me" by Adam Lambert for Hope x MC. 👀

Starring Role is actually a pretty fine fit considering the documentary is being filmed lol

[erotomania-if]

hmm hayley williams’ cover of nineteen by teagan and sara for hope x mc vibes perhaps? just a lil bit…

Ohh I do see your point actually.. like it's not a perfect fit but *the vibes* are there, you know?

[erotomania-if]

Petition for mc to stilfle their cries on the bed while hope is just looking at mc hopelessly torn between offering comfort or pretending they didnt hear them crying bcoz they probably are the reason why they're crying in the middle of the night. ☠️☠️

Oooh like maybe on that first night you have to share a room again while the documentary is filming? Switching to Hope's POV for that could be interesting....

“We all live such distant and anonymous lives; disguised, we suffer the fate of strangers. To some, however, this distance between another being and ourselves is never revealed; to others it is revealed only every now and then, through horror or pain, lit by a limitless lightning flash; for yet others it is the one painful constant in their daily lives.”

— Fernando Pessoa, Book of Disquiet
