Did any of Lee’s band members try or wanted to try to get with MC before Lee did ? If yes what stopped them ?

all of mary jane (sans lee) were in relationships at the time! so no. plus mc and lee originally met during one of their shows and none of the members besides lee LOL are the types to go for flings or one night stands

Since Aria hasn’t been talked about too much I was curious if you have any facts about her that you wanna share

OUGH. SO MUCH ANON

she’s a lesbian! my lovely lady. there r at least 3 lesbians in riptide as is mandatory

she’s a dancer, hip hop dancer. the song family is very artsy minus their dad lol

she did volleyball in middle/highschool

she has a notes app full of pickup lines. success rate is low

hilo-adjacent fun fact lol but hilo did not like her at all at first bc they felt she was ‘stealing’ mc but aria thought they were so cool

allergic to seafood (not like deadly or anything) but she tries a shrimp or something every few months to see if it’s gone away

she’s so very silly. augh i love her

[riptide-if]

haven’t lost my virginity because I never lose

What is Freddie's feelings to all ROs before and after getting together with MC?

spoilies. but from like most to least happy i’d say hilo arlo n BIG GAP lee

How do the MCs cousins treat MC (Uncle and aunt too please)? Cause I can't stop thinking of them like a pack of dogs chasing after MC everytime they come vist just to ruffle them up.

MC actually lives w/ them!! most of their cousins are moved out but venus and hunter still live there and everyone besides ava visits often (she loves her family she just doesn’t live in Hawaii lol)

the cousins + MC are basically siblings. in the prologue carlos’s intro is literally him giving MC a noogie lol. damon, freddie, and sara often say “go get ur sibling” to MC on accident

damon and sara also love MC very much!! admittedly they were shocked by MC’s presence bc freddie just showed up w/ a child lol. though it’s often those two punishing MC for doing something they’re not supposed too bc freddie is too lenient unless MC is in danger

guy who only heard the phrase gaslighting once and is misremembering it: stop fleshlighting me

what's Lee's fandom like? Do they know about MC? Or just theorize about the mystery girl in Lee's songs. How do they feel bout MC and Lee's feelings to his fans?

Sorry for all the questions I'm so curious! Don't feel obligated to answer them all. :)

Thank you! Cant wait to see the demo but no rush! :D

thank u for all the questions! and thank u for the excitement

I would say lee’s fans specifically are the type to playfully bully them lol. MC is a very well known surfer since they started so young along w/ the talent so ppl know about them! lee is also the type to want to show off their s/o so the fans definitely know. pre-breakup i’d say a majority of fans liked them! post-breakup is obviously different but lee 100% posted MC’s comps on their insta stories while they were dating so a few are tuning in for the tour (including a couple actual bandmates but don’t tell lee)

Can MC have a fwb situations with any of the ROs ?

mm not really. there r fling options but none of the ROs r really the types have a fwb

[riptide-if]

leelo route but not only hilo and lee are annoyed about liking each other, mc is also annoyed that they're falling for their ex and also scared that they could lose hilo if mcs love is unrequited. Everyone is in distress 😭

+1 stress point for MC because their dad is literally present for all of this

Limerence is an 18+ slice of life IF that follows you, one of the most globally demanded actors of all time. You just accepted a lead role in a romance movie, one that’s amongst the most highly anticipated films of the year. You were ready, prepared, and content with the plan the directors and producers laid out for you.

Everything was perfect. This was going to be your best work yet!

Until you heard a door click and felt the breeze of the air conditioning blow against your neck as you turned. And now that perfect plan was slowly falling apart as you spotted your devilishly attractive co-star and felt an electrifying pull that would blow every publicity stunt out of the water.

Now, you must avoid getting your heart absolutely shattered again.

Genres: slice-of-life, drama, romance Some tropes: forbidden love, forced proximity

Full customization over your iconic MC, choosing how they look and react with the many options available!

Try not to fall in love with your customizable co-star(s)!

3 storylines in one book! Depending on which genre of romance movie you pick, you'll have a different RO

Manage the way the public views you - humble or self-absorbed?

A very expensive friend group, hopefully, with no drama involved.

Outfit changes! Shopping trips! Interviews! Premiers! Red carpets! A horrible ex! And a date in… Paris??

Experience what it’s like to be rich and famous!

A system built where actions and words contribute to the development of your platonic and romantic relationships

I’m being so serious when I say you're gonna be able to strut your stuff. Like, you're THAT!

THE CAREFREE ROMANCE "Is it sin to love?"

Arthur/Aria, a people-pleaser mixed with a warm heart, is the perfect actor for the counterpart lead in a movie that ends in the happiest way of all. Many would categorize them as a golden retriever, always filled with energy and a happy aura. They walked through those stage doors, immediately greeting everybody with respect and smiles on their face.

THE TRAGIC ROMANCE "For the wounded and the lost."

Corin/Carrie, a cold demeanor mixed with a frozen heart, is the perfect actor for the counterpart lead in a movie that ends in heartbreak. You swore they were throwing daggers at you through the whole reading of the script. The directors say they can feel a connection brewing beneath their harsh exterior, but you can't seem to spot it.

THE THRILLER ROMANCE "The vanity of existence."

Kenley/Kaylee, a mixture of both cold and warm, you don't actually know if they'd be the perfect actor at all. They're all over the place, left and right, backward and forwards, you can't ever seem to spot them in one place for more than five minutes. The directors are starting to wonder if you two will even be able to progress through these scenes with their attention being constantly stolen, but hey, who knows, it might work!

I noticed this line in the intro post regarding N: "you can tell they’re.. a bit of a flirt. It’s hard to tell if a facade or not; but you don’t really want to find out, either." I'm a bit confused by that. Is there a particular reason the MC doesn't want to find out? Is it just because they're a competitor and it might complicate things?

up to ur MC on the latter part but. N is kind of like. A lot at first. like one of those heavy flirt arrogant characters so it’s literally just bc they come off as full of themselves at first lmao

[riptide-if]

also. i Realized i hadn’t mentioned this so! lee is trans and hilo is demiromantic. also don’t send me ask’s wondering if hilo is amab or afab because i’ll delete it. Ur offputting and freakish

[riptide-if]

For the leelo route I’m so interested in seeing lee and Hilo’s reactions once they realize they might like each other. I imagine they’re both gonna be very annoyed about it

you wld be correct. tho wlee it goes like Fuckkk i want my ex —> FUCKKK I WANT MY EX AND THEIR BITCHY BEST FRIEND

^ hilo

[riptide-if]

reworked lee’s families names today to make them sound more insufferably old money rich. It’s great

[riptide-if]

(guy who's lost so much and loses more every day) I never fucking lose

If the Ros were a dog breed what would they be?

My mc is a malamute or akita

thinkin questions.

Lee is 100% a small dog. like a rat terrier lmfao. N is maybe like a border collie.. australian border collie on brand. Arlo is like a bernese mountain dog. Hilo is a cat
