take ur time bb real life comes first!! with that being said tho... what are each of the ro's "spirit animals" or animals u think represent them?

thank u!! this is very sweet burnout hits hard!

Little announcement but i renamed N! New name is kori i am going to update intros n pinned posts soon!! It annoyed me that they were the only character going by a letter. loll

Onto the ask!

Arlo is a kodiak bear!! Non-confrontational guy that likes his alone time (to an extent)

Lee is a parrot. Annoying and loud

Kori is a sea lion! Social smart and playful

Hilo is a fox. Sharp and clever

No one asked but using this to also talk abt the side characters somewhat. Aria is a bunny,

Actually i shouldnt say ive done nothing many things have been changed!! Hence why i deleted the side character intro post.

hello. This blog almost has 1k n i hve given like nothing so my apologies. I have been doing things tho!! Recently the program i use like randomly deleted some of my outline so that unmotivated me but! I have been writing. The demo (not promising a date anymore sorry loll) will probably be prologue and chap 1 just so i can write as much. But!! Feel free to send asks as well! Or any ask games whatever.

Hello 👋, I hope you're doing well..

My name is Mahmoud, and I'm a 17-year-old from Gaza. The ongoing war has devastated my city, destroyed my school, and made daily life incredibly challenging.

Despite these hardships, I'm determined to continue my education and build a better future. I've been given a chance to study abroad, but I need help to cover the costs of leaving Gaza, as well as living expenses and other essentials abroad once the crossing opens.. 🙏

If you can, please consider donating or sharing, your kindness can truly make a difference, and thanks for your time. ❤🍉

wanting romantic relationships is a weakness btw and also a moral failing

helloo. i have been quiet but trust riptide is being worked on!! im thinking prologue might be pretty long. so. exciting:3

[riptide-if]

hottest thing a character can be is a hypocrite btw

[riptide-if]

chill dude

[riptide-if]

favorite character in ur if being the main character’s dad sure is something

[riptide-if]

Honestly kinda laughing imagining all of mc’s family and friends being supportive about the Hilo half of the leelo poly but not the lee half

Imagine ur pseudo sibling n their ex breakup and u shit talk them for like 4 months and then theycome back from an international competition dating their ex and their childhood best friend. wild

don’t be afraid to make a character dislikable, it gives stories flavor !!

character i was talking abt isnt even dislikeable imo!! i do have plenty of dislikeable characters in riptide but i think character i talked abt its more their Role if that makes sense. sorry being purposely vague but thank u 4 the encouragement also tho ^_^

I have been stressing over u guys not liking a certain side character when they get introduced but then I realize how they’re introduced MC the character wouldn’t like them if they’re normal. alas only I know each characters body and soul

[riptide-if]

How competitive would you say each RO are in general? Like which ones should you never play a game with because they take it too seriously

from most to least.. hmm.. hilo —> lee —> n —> arlo

HILO is extremely competitive in literally everything they do. i wouldn’t say hilo is like prideful but they’re very confident. the type to find out someone they don’t like is good at something n picks in up to be better than them. they had a one sided rivalry w/ aria over who was a better friend to MC from like ages 12-14. do not play a game w/ them unless ur partners

LEE isn’t immediately competitive but they’re competitive as soon as in they’re in last place LMAO. in board games they will blatantly cheat if the others arent paying attention. surprisingly they’re less competitive music-wise, they wld rather just share music than worry abt popularity charts n such

N might be a little shocking lol. though they do surf competitively they aren’t all that worried about scoring first place every time. they’d rather place like sixth knowing they tried their best than overwork themselves over placing higher. they do get a little competitive over like silly games like. that corn hole game

ARLO really isn’t competitive at all! he isn’t very confident but he’s sure of himself. he knows what he’s good at while also knowing others are probably better. playing games w/ family n friends and such he doesn’t really care

[riptide-if]

Ok I know mc’s dad and Hilo are joining them for the tour but are there any other friends or family that will be joining mc?

aria is! aria hilo & mc r like a buy one get two free deal. mc’s cousins + aunt and uncle can’t sue to normal obligations lol. freddie is mc’s coach, hilo’s their photographer and aria is unemployed so thats why theyre going. mc’s family r 100% tuning in to watch on tv (^_^

mc’s family will make cameos via texts and calls tho. and when the hawaii comp happens!!

writing a wip and realizing i can get rid of and add characters because like no one but me cares about them. life is beautiful

this is a formal interest check for a charity raffle with the IF community

if you are an IF author or artist and you're interested in participating in a charity-drive raffle, please check out this form! we are aiming to do one big raffle with a single prize pool, where people submit proof of donation in exchange for a raffle ticket.

prizes we are currently considering would be things like a spicy snippet or a cosy snippet, etc. potential sketches from artists or a rendered bust, etc. and we'll allow the authors & artists to dictate how much/what exactly they're comfortable offering. donating to multiple gfm will mean more entries into the raffle. we'll be offering a list of potential gfm to donate to (we're going to try and focus on ones with low funds) & any artists/authors offering prizes can specify if they want to sponsor specific gfm.

this is subject to change! we are just trying to gauge interest right now and see what we can put together on our side of things which depends entirely on the people willing to contribute & if we get enough interest.

here is the google form for artists and authors to fill out:

this was inspired by the book auction for gaza as well as the many other art raffles i've seen here and on twitter.
