Is the feeding that manerkol does going to be mentioned again ? Cam we do something about it …

Dethroning him should work 👀

*runs away to avoid getting lynched by the Manerkol Brigade 🤣

This is funny, though... It may or may not become more apparent later on that his solution (the Garden) is IN FACT the lesser evil lolol.

You only know the Resistance's side so far 👀

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

I think it's hilarious how many ppl are down bad for Sielthan, meanwhile my suspicious ass was side eyeing them so hard every single playthrough, even when they were the stone of truth. I couldn't bear to make my MCs dumb enough to piss off the GOD WHO LIVES IN THEIR HEAD, and I hate being mean, so they're always best buds and I still was 75% it was a bad idea that was going to bite me in the ass next book. Only reading it on your blog that they're being sincere made me believe it, lol.

You were willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, and that's what matters the most to Siel.

They just want a chance. And they WERE acting pretty sus!!

Without knowing their thoughts and motivations, their actions could be construed either way tbh, especially in the beginning.

I'm sure there are many people who don't trust them even now 😂

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

Do you think you'll ever write a short story from the ro's perspectives while talking with their stones? I'm kinda curious to see them interacting specially Straasa with tiger's eye 👀

Ooooh, that's an excellent idea 👀 Could maybe even do it in game, like Siel helping you to listen in or smth like that...

VEEEERYYY INTERESTING IDEA!! 👌 Though listening in to Tiger's Eye may not be so fun 🥲

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

Sielthan is the new poor little meow meow

Manerkol looking a lot more composed now, doesn't he? 🤣🤣🤣 You've all now seen the true face of the meow meow 😂

Siel is like THE EMBODIMENT of "It's highly intelligent, yet still somehow an idiot."

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

ROs reaction to drunk MC who positively insists that they are completely sober?

Morkai: *groans. "Just drink the damn water," he orders as he tips a glass to MC's mouth. Aggressively bundles the MC up in blankets, brings a bucket next to the bed and wipes their face with a wet cloth.

Straasa: *smiles teasingly. "Of course you are, my heart," he croons as he tucks the MC in. He passes them a soothing herbal concoction that will minimize the hangover the next day.

Daelynn: *is as far gone as the MC. She won't try to argue she's sober, though, she's just giggling uncontrollably. And trying to set things on fire, but what catches on fire is her dress.

Eledwen: *is mildly stressed because she hasn't been around people so drunk before. "But…but you're slurring…," she tries to reason. She stays by the MC's side all night.

Manerkol: *sighs and prays for patience. Carries the MC to bed and answers all inane statements with a, "No. You're not. No. I said no! Stop biting me, you little—!"

Sielthan: *is channeling away the damage alcohol is doing but keeping the hilarious trippy effects. They're trying to get the MC talking as much as possible, it's so entertaining 🤣 "Yes, absolutely, tell me more 👀"

Rai: *is chuckling and giggling at the silliness spewing from MC's mouth. "I wish I had a memory shard to record this conversation for when you wake up tomorrow," they cackle gleefully.

Mornie: She has no patience for drunken shenanigans 🥲 She gets the MC somewhere safe, drops a bucket inside the room in case of vomiting, then she's yeeting out.

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

Wait wait! I think I am putting some things together. I was just on Manny's route earlier when he talked about the real nature of the soul stones. I was also just scoured your blog and you said Sielthan will have one of the most tragic endings.

Does that mean that Sielthan will lose mc for good for when they inevitably takes over mc's body? That cannot happen 😭😭 My pookie wet cat won't be able to take it 💔

Well, just because that the intent of most Dragons who become Stones, that doesn't mean that Sielthan will attempt the same 👀

Also, the things Manerkol says about Dragons should always be taken with a grain of salt, I feel 🤣

But yes. Siel would not be able to take that.

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

I hate you cause you've managed to make me love sielthan, God i love my wet cat so much I just wanna adore them and hug them... and maybe nibble on them.

On that note how would all the ro's from both games react if the mc just bit them randomly cause the mc felt like it. Please ignore if this has been asked before.

EVERYONE CALLING SIEL A WET CAT IS SENDING ME, BECAUSE IT'S TOO DAMN ACCURATE LMAOOOO 🤣🤣🤣

The Official Wet Cat ®️ Also, about your question:

Morkai: *is startled, then grins sharply for a second before swooping in to return the favor. He's been itching for an excuse to bite the MC all morning.

Straasa: *smirks and shoots you a heated look. "Couldn't help yourself any longer, huh?" he asks in a low voice, fingers stroking your law and thumbing your lips.

Manerkol: Only attempt this in places where there's privacy, because he's pining you against a flat surface in the next second and returning the favor. Leaving marks where everyone can see them.

Daelynn: *moans—loud and inappropriate for polite company—and bares her throat for more. Be prepared to sport multiple bruises from when she returns the favor.

Eledwen: *is actually pretty startled, and she freezes for a second to process what just happened. Once she realizes that it was done out of passion for her, she blushes all the way down to her chest.

Sielthan: *groans and grabs you by the arms to ensure you can't move way. Then, they whine, "You missed a spot. Here. And here. And here too." Wont' let you go until they've had enough.

Rai: *flashes you a sharp grin before they start circling you, humming pleasantly. "Is it my turn now?" they whisper into your ear as they press flush across your back, arms weaving around your waist.

Mornie: *grabs you by the throat and bares her fangs, snarling at you. "I'm the one doing the biting here, little morsel. You will learn your place." Then, she teaches you thoroughly and with great prejudice.

Hi I’m the idiot who couldn’t find guides, hello again!

This question could seem totally random but I swear there is a rationale: that variable in book 1 (and 2? I think) where you told morkai not to touch you, is that a “you’re a jerk” variable or “I’m traumatized don’t touch me variable”? Can you overcome it if it’s the second?

Since learning about straasa’s story, I’ve just been wanting to start a MS poly run in which MC learns to let other close again, and morkai itching to kill all these assholes assaulting his soulmates.

It can be interpreted anyway you like! But, tbh, it's more relevant to the friendship path.

Like, if you're just friends, are you comfortable with him touching you casually—he can flick your nose, pat your head etc.

Just general annoying older brother stuff 🤣Also, it's funny how you mention Morkai wanting to kill all the assholes assaulting his soulmates/family.

He can be…unforgiving with these kinds of people. You may or may not get to see that for yourselves soon enough 👀

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

i think people get confused when they see the word "friendmance" and end up not picking anything that friendly so they won't accidentally lock themselves out of Manerkol's route. cause i definitely thought that my first playthrough for him lmao

Tbh, I'm kinda regretting the friendmance system. Or, more like, the way I implemented it. Made things too confusing for the players and gave myself a headache with the coding!

I've learned so much since those early days. I do be tempted to revisit that part and edit it one of these days, but eh...

Not a priority. The priority now is finishing BtM. And then...

TSSW 4 HERE WE COME~

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

I haven't played Jade in B3 just yet because Bloodstone charmed me away. Lying is so much angsty fun in this game ☺️ and in that spirit I have two Bloodstone wielding Manny-mancers who lied to her rag-tag band of fugitives about her vampire soulmate 🤭

For context I have 3 Bloodstone Manny-mancers.

One who is never honest with anyone other than herself and Manny but still wants peace

One who also wants peace, lies to everyone except her companions and Manny while sometimes lying to herself.

And one who also lies to everyone except for Manny and herself, bitches out Dae for lying 🤣 and only cares about getting to her vampire other half. Peace is third on the list after Manny and our loyal steed.

I do love that we still kept the secret (I may or may not have cackled at the audacity of that omission especially when being off with Dae) and I'm so excited for the blow up in the final book. I hope there's a "bad" ending like in B2 where we can take the gang all the way to the end, one hair from victory, just to betray them to the one true King of All 🥰

Bloodstone brings out the worst in my MCs and they are willing participants 😅

Oh, there will be an ending where you can switch to Manerkol's side 💀

That one will be hard to write sksksksks. Hurting the gang in any way has me like 🥲

Buuuut, becoming the High King's Consort APPEALS, so 🤣 But I have to say; three different characters for Manerkol alone!!!

Now that's dedication 🤌Respect!

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

I just… cannot succeed at the library heist. Please I beg, may we who are exceedingly dumb get a hint?

If Eledwen is out cold in your game, you CANNOT succeed at the heist no matter what you do.

Otherwise, choose the air pedestal first and LEAVE after you get the vision about the city in the air.

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

🐉☁️💚 Anon here! I do tend to plan out my playthroughs. If I can pick out more than one RO I jive with I'll meticulously plot out a MC and playthrough just for them and cycle through as I play through a series, some things just stick though like the aesthetics with a Jade!Sielthan. That is one that just goes together so dang well I can't bear to change it, makes sense though because I'm a DEDICATED Manerkol romancer! I do pull something extra for that though, white hair w/ blue eyes Jade!MC is just too good in that case! THE COLOR DUALITY AH!

The color duality 🤌 APPROVED!!! I really wish I was better at making moodboards sometimes for this reason lol!

Personally, I HAVE to try all the routes in a game—especially with games focused on romance like mine are!

So, naturally, multiple MCs and just…obsessively going over every choice so I can get THE perfect playthough.

It's a serious matter!! 🤣🤌

Siel is always going to be Agate for me, though—with Jade being a close second 💖 Just to get them excited at the prospect of getting licked when you first get the Stone and they're Agate 🤣

Chaotic gremlin that they are <3

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

I only just started playing TSSW a few months ago and I cannot help replaying each chapter multiple times. 😆 I recently started the Manerkol route and it’s a favorite troupe of mine so I am enjoying it the most so far!!

However, I cannot help the little squeal of glee I let out whenever Straasa comes up hehe 👉👈

My voice always goes up in pitch like “STRAASAAAA!!! 🤩” that it’s almost embarrassing because it comes out whether I want it to or not. 😅 If I have a favorite, SURELY it’s not so obvious 😩

Very excited for what part has in store hehe. Keep up the great work!!!!

Straasa: *exists

Us:

He's just so kind, and considerate, and smooth, AND SO DAMN TEASING THESE DAYS!

He literally had me literally frothing at the mouth with this book 🤣🤌

Like, BRO, I'm already feral enough over you!!!! DON'T MAKE IT EVEN WORSE?!

Can't wait to continue his route in book 4 👀 The House Wynmar sequence is going to be...explosive.

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

There’s a bug and wanted to show you!

Awesome, thank you so much! Will fix! 👌

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

I wasn't expecting Sielthan to have such wet cat energy and i love them so much ♥️ They're so sweet and i dont know what I was expecting on their route but it was EVERYTHING and more 🥹 I think they're my new favourite tbh (sorry manny).

Omg 🥺💖

My sweet, misunderstood baby is getting SO MUCH LOVE!! I was really hoping they would—totally not because they're my fave along with Manny haha—but I didn't really think it'd happen!!

They don't have that broody intensity that draws most people. More like, "I'm cute and sad and pathetic, please love me 🥺🥺🥺"

Which, I will admit, WORKS for me, but I doubted it'd work for anyone else LMAOO 🤣🤣🤣

This is making me so happy!! How about I give some random tibdit about them to celebrate? 👀

Siel is totally the kind of person that would try weird and disgusting food combinations 🤣

Like, pairing cheese with coffee or steak with chocolate sauce. Basically, if it looks weird or smells weird, Siel is like GIMME!!

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

Where might I find status updates on BTM? I haven't seen any really am I missing something?

You can get BtM updates by following me on ithc.io, but I also give monthly progress updates here on Tumblr as well for all my projects near the end of the month!

You might have to scroll a bit back on the blog to get to the right post, tho sjsjjfsjsd

We've been going nuts over TSSW 3 lately XD But yeah, look for the post titled Progress Update May 2025!

Cheers!

[intimidatingpuffinstudios]

Manny: Everything I have to give is yours.

My mc, in book 4: Can you give me some money? I came to eat while doing a mission, but my pouch of money got stolen, and I need to pay....

Manerkol:

Sending it by courier to the Resistance's PO Box 🤣🤣🤣🤣
