If mc wasn't part of the equation, is there a chance that kurou and Artemis could've got together at some point offically?

genuinely? absolutely not. i answered that kurotemis ask recently that basically just detailed how the entirety of their potential romantic and/or sexual relationship would be built upon incredibly horny guilt and shame. i fear that they wouldn’t be able to get over the fact that what they’re doing is Wrong and Weird and Definitely Shouldn’t Be Happening Because Best Friends Shouldn’t Do This. they would freak themselves out about it.

if mc didn’t exist, i think neither kurou nor artemis would ever be able to admit to anyone that they feel some type of way about the other. i think it would be something that would be very buried, even though they both get this sense that the other also feels some type of way. i think there would be a very real fear of destroying the friendship if they ever did act upon anything, something that’s terrifying because the two of them are SO close. the thought of trying a relationship out only for them to realize that they’re incompatible in some way would be devastating. and the BAND… the friend group… yeah, they could never do it.

maybe one of their friends (mordag or kolia, probably) would notice their tension and bring it up in an attempt to get them to address it, but i don’t think either of them would ever admit their weird gay feelings for their best friend out loud.

i think the only way it would work is if the two of them weren’t friends at all. like, if they had just felt that little something between them in their first couple meetings and started to fuck around, i think it could work. i think in that scenario, they could even break up and be friends, i think, but it can’t be the other way around. does that make sense?

anyways… to me, kurotemis is like incredibly repressed doomed t4t yaoi that shouldn’t ever happen for the sake of everyone around them, but i let it happen in like an alternate universe in my head because wow by god they would be sexy together!!!

Do you have any drawings of Ximena?? I'm so curious about her it's bewildering...

yes, actually! i drew this doodle a little bit ago. she mostly lives as a concept in my head since i haven’t needed to draw her for anything, but i hope to actually do some bigger sketches of her at some point.

she’s a cadejo, which is like a central american supernatural dog spirit! she’s either mexican or nicaraguan, i haven’t decided yet.

i did realize recently is that both artemis and kurou have latina dog ex-girlfriends, HAHAHA. artemis has yaritza, who’s puerto rican and a werewolf, and kurou has ximena. it was killing me when i discovered this. i like to believe that they both bonded over this when they first met lololol 😭

[nyewclear]

how would the coffee cast hold your bag/drink ?

such a cute question! i find that how someone holds another person’s personal effects says a lot about them. very cute hehe

artemis is quite polite in this regard, but also will be eager to hold anything of yours because they’re in love with you and will do anything you ask them to do lol. they’re polite in the sense that they’ll be very patient and well-behaved while holding your things. they aren’t the type to start digging through your stuff or sipping on your beverage.

kurou, on the other hand, loves to bitch a little before holding on to anything of yours, but after that he’ll hold on to your stuff like it belongs to him. leave him alone too long with your drinks in particular and he’ll start slurpin on them. but he really does like holding your bag, especially if you wear little purses HAHAHA like him in his big huge baggy jeans and tiny little shirt and your handbag on his shoulder like yaassss he loves it even if he complains a bit before taking it.

odina is also more than happy to hold your things and she has a great girl grip LOL she can hold so much in one hand— and she often talks with her hands— so she’ll hold all your things in one hand and gab very enthusiastically with her other hand. she often is already carrying a bunch of stuff around with her, so it’s a bit of a juggle, but she gets it done.

kolia will hold your things because she’s nice, even if she doesn’t show it. she always holds drinks from the top though instead of the sides. no one knows why she does this, but she always does. sometimes she gets unlucky and will spill whatever she’s holding because of this LOOOOL she tries hard to act nonchalant about it but deep down she’s humiliated.

mordag will actually try her best not to hold your things, mostly because her skin is kind of clammy and/or slimy depending on the weather. she’ll hold your drinks if they’re cold, that way you can’t tell her clamminess from the cup’s condensation, but she’ll try not to hold your bags and things out of fear she’ll get her weird ooze all over them, especially when it’s really hot out.

Just finished playing Cryptid Coffeehouse and i think my brain exploded Like 5 Times. Just Had to Draw them. Artemis is so cute i cant TvT

Someone a bit ago asked how the hctavters would react to a crybaby MC, and that made me wonder how they would react to an irritable MC.

Not angry like how kurou gets angry and throws a tantrum and yells at everybody

But the kind where you can obviously tell and hear that they are angry but they are trying to remain calm and civil when speaking to someone but as soon as they are alone or even just not talking to someone anymore they punch whatever they are angry at till it breaks/their hands are too brusied to continue

Or they just cry.

This is obviously very targeted and specific, and I'm not going to pretend like it's not. This question is for me and me alone.

I like to think that my MC is usually pretty kind and polite as well, so the contrast between that and when they get angry would be such a shift in how they normally act it would be surprising or even concerning depending on the character.

Like.. Imagine you meet someone super polite like.. holds the door for people, says 'pardon me', offers to help carry strangers groceries kind of polite.

And that same person literally trashes their house and breaks like 5 dishes because they had a bad day, and stubbing their toe was the final straw

here's the ask about the crybaby mc, for anyone that's wondering.

this is a really good question, actually, and if we're looking at it from the perspective of the cuties (artemis and kurou), i think we'd get some very different reactions. i genuinely don't think artemis would be able to handle someone like this, as they're kind of delicate and would be wildly thrown off if they saw you like this, especially if their impression of you is that you're kind and polite most of the time. seeing you angry for the first time would freak them out, probably.

kurou, on the other hand, would be able to handle it, because, yeah, he does throw tantrums sometimes. he's also the type to put himself in physically harmful situations... like if you were breaking shit and punching at stuff, he'd be fine with stepping in the middle of it. he would tackle you if he had to lol even if that didn't make anything better. i’m not sure if this relationship would be very healthy hahaha with two hotheaded individuals, but kurou would try his best for as long as he could.

[nyewclear]

Artemis’s trauma makes me want to hold them and tell them that they’re enough babygirl 🥺♥️

you know even though we're just being like sillycute, i genuinely think this would help them a lot, hahaha. i've said before that i like to believe that the player is an instrumental part of their healing journey, regardless of how corny that might be. i think that moment where you hold them in their childhood room when they're sobbing after their argument with nevaeh is one that did a lot for them, even if it's something you don't really think twice about. like, yeah, they have several close friends that would do the same thing for them, but somehow getting treated so delicately by someone who actively chooses to love them every day and put up with them when they're at their rawest is something that really changes them over time.

if anyone isn't familiar with their past, you can read about it in this very long ask from a couple months ago!

[nyewclear]

Give us kuroemis crumbs please <3

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE!! even if you receive 5 months after asking me (sorry jam </3)

hopefully this answer will open everyone's eyes to the beauty of kurotemis... i love spreading kurotemis propaganda lolol

their entire relationship is built on disgusted horny shame. the intrigue of their relationship is that they're best friends and incredibly close (like, very close. they know each other very well), but they have this weird sexual tension that neither of them know what to do with. they both know that the tension is so wrong and weird, but it's the fact that it feels wrong is what makes the relationship so exciting. i like to believe that they're both very ashamed for wanting each other in a non-platonic way (ESPECIALLY in a sexual way), and that's what makes it so good... like, best friends shouldn't feel like this. because it's so wrong, it feels so good when something finally happens. does that make sense?

i also like to believe that they both feel the homoeroticism that reeks from their relationship (kurou more than artemis, something that i've talked about here). the fact that they're best friends AND roommates AND smoke buddies doesn't really help, and if they ever got together, it would be in the form of an insane probably very unhealthy sexually charged convenience-utationship. whenever they fuck, it's like stupid weird friends with benefits pseudo-hate sex thing. it's so messy and that's what makes it beautiful!!

since we're here, i'll share a couple bits of this incredibly shame-ridden kurotemis fic i was writing back in april. they're so good and so terrible for each other.

also, here are some tweets that are very kurotemis to me: this and this and this and this!

okay, so it seems like i'm just doing these afterparty dlc updates every three-ish weeks now?! rip to the multiple-times-a-week attempt... BUT WE MOVE WITH DILIGENCE!

once again i've been very busy, but in the past three days i've been overcome with a disease-like urge to write and i've written so much. i am very pleased to announce that the diner scene of the prologue ia now complete!!! we're now onto the third and last scene of the prologue: the part where everyone goes back to the artehouse and gets inebriated!!!! yippee!!!

over the past three days (combined with whatever scraps i was writing over the past three weeks), i've written just about 10.4k!!!! i think this actually might be the most i've written in one chunk the entire time that i've been writing this dlc... something has possessed me o_o i believe, so far, the dlc is around 27.7k. if i keep working at this pace, i can anticipate the finished prologue to be around 37k.

here are some of my favorite script bits from my latest work!

i've been having a lot of fun with these group scenes because during the course of the main game, there actually isn't too much interaction with the friend group as a whole. we get an idea of the dynamic, but i really want to make it real, you know? especially the easy back-and-forth kurou and artemis have. i feel like the main game doesn't allow for them to really be solidified as best friends, so i'm happy to be able to get that chance now! there are lots of cute and fun friend shenanigans in this so far.

here's what the script currently looks like. it's a monster now... quickly growing out of control...

hopefully this motivation won't go anywhere anytime soon and i'll be able to wrap up the living room scene in a timely manner (everyone pray for me). after i finish writing the living room scene, it will be artemis sexy time! yay! finally! literally what i'm writing all this prologue for!! it's kind of funny that there's so much lead up to the actual sex, but the sexual tension in this is very important, hahahaha.

anyways, as i get closer and closer to the most exciting bits of the game, the anonymous request form for those very bits is still open! once i get started with writing the nsfw portion, i'll close up the form, so get your requests in while you can 😛 there have been some very good and nice responses over the past several months, and i can anticipate that i'll be writing the majority of them in hehe.

okay!!! that's today's update :3 until next time!

[nyewclear]

yeah man

[nyewclear]

so.... i'm back again with another afterparty dlc update after three weeks LMFAO HEYYY!!! i got busy once again and have been struggling to write substantially, but i hope that i can get past that and make some significant progress o_o wish me luck!

i wrote a nice chunk today! with my work today and the work i've done slowly over the past couple of weeks, i've written about ~3.4k. we're pretty well into the diner scene at this point, but i'm currently writing one half of it, as you can pick two different tables to sit at (kolia, odina, and mordag vs kurou and kixis). i'll have to duplicate everything i'm writing over to the kurou & kixis table when i'm done. fortunately i'm almost the point of being done with this first half.

here are some of my favorite script bits from today's work!

this is what the script currently looks like! it's actually becoming a big huge evil mess and i fear it's only going to get worse... but that just means we're making progress! yay!

hopefully in the next couple of days i'll finish up the section of the scene i'm on (the odina, kolia, & mordag section) and then get to moving onto the kurou & kixis scene. then we can move onto scene three of the prologue, which is one i'm very very excited for!!!

anyways, as always, the request form for the saucy bits of the dlc is still open :3 as i get closer to the nsfw scenes, i'm taking a lot of what's being sent into consideration!! thanks again to all that have submitted so far ^_^<3

[nyewclear]

HEEEEEY so guess who's back with the first afterparty dlc update in... almost three weeks!!! [sweats] got a bit busy for some time there... but now we are BACK!

today (and slowly over the past several weeks) i wrote ~3.3k! i'm pleased to say that all the car stuff is now finished, so scene one of the prologue is officially done WHEW. i was starting to get so bored of it, which is probably why it's taken me ages to finish it, but it's over now so #bless. now we're on to scene two, which is the diner scene! lots of shenanigans happen here as well, plus we get introduced to some brief side characters :3

i also did some minor editing of previous story beats to make them a little more succinct, so there's a more consistent voice from the player throughout these scenes, especially when it comes to physical affection with artemis.

here are some of my favorite script bits from today's work:

here's what the script currently looks like! it's definitely starting to become a mess of green spaghetti...

i'm hoping that this next scene won't last too long, but we all know how i am when it comes to writing this game. i think i've got at least 5 or 6 important story beats to hit, then something very important that lends itself greatly to artemis' character (their jealousy & possessiveness lol) and then we can move on to the third scene ^_^

anyways, here's the link to the anonymous request form for the nsfw section of the dlc! with each day, the actualization of artemis sex grows closer...!!!!!! what a beautiful thing!

Sooo piggybacking off the last ask about kurou getting a ring from his crush mc... how would that play out if they were dating?

recall how i said if you guys weren't dating, he would be able to contain his delusions? well, if you guys were together and you did this to him, he would NOT contain his delusions. better yet, i think he would get delusional on purpose. kurou has a really hard time holding back his urge to be married, which we all know... (see fig. a, fig. b, and fig. c) he's absolutely the type to be married very quickly if he gets smitten enough. his friends had to talk him out of proposing to ximena after the first four months lol. on that note i think he would also be the type to be divorced before he's like 30 HAHAHA

anyways... i recently said that kurou doesn't wear rings because he's always cooking and it's a hassle, but he would wear a ring if you let him borrow one of yours or if you gave him one. in this scenario, i would assume that you knew this about him, which would make kurou pause for like 5 minutes when he receives the gift. the fact that the ring literally ONLY fits his ring finger would be world-stopping for him 😭😭😭 i can imagine that he would be staring at you really hard for the rest of the time you're gifting your friends stuff as well, trying to figure out if you're serious or if you're fucking with him.

he probably wouldn't say anything about it for a couple days, mostly to (a) sort out his absolutely insane feelings about this via writing crazed notes and texting his sister miroku and (b) give you a chance to say something about it if it really is what he thinks it is looooool. you'd definitely catch him daydreaming about married life with you more often than not. he'd bring it up after maybe the third or fourth day and would just shove his hand in your face and be like "okay so are we getting married or not?"

[nyewclear]

Has kurou ever said his crush mc's name accidentally while getting freaky with another person?

shockingly no, mostly because he's often seeing a few people at a time and needs to have everyone's names straight to avoid very awkward confrontations lol. he's done this before though, saying someone else's name during sex, and it was in the months after he and ximena broke up. he fucked like one person like four months after they broke up and kurou was still so debilitatingly heartbroken about it that he slipped up 😭😭😭 he loved that girl baaaad
