people beg for more diverse body types but you don't even have mods for body type 3 & 4

Is Oisein ever going to be gender-selectable again?

I’ve loved this game since the moment I first played it (August-ish? 2021). Once my MC had the bedroom drink sess’ with female Oisein, I knew she would be my romance. I like m!Healer and m!Sage, but f!Oisein was it.

I’ve been on/off sick and had IRL issues; I haven’t had time to keep up with my favorite IFs. I figured I’d pick a different RO in The Nameless, but it isn’t there. I still like m!Healer and m!Sage but not as final choice ROs. I tried playing with nb!Oisein but doesn’t click. If Oisein had never been gender selectable, maybe I wouldn’t feel like I’m missing something, but… I do. A significant relationship component feels like it has been chunked away.

I respect that this is your artistic vision. I love when writers give NPCs and MCs the ability to sit anywhere within the wide range of gender diversity. I understand that my feelings about losing f!Oisein are precisely that: my feelings. I hope, though, that eventually, gender-selectable Oisein will return. I miss that character. My game, my MC, and the story I built around my story, miss f!Oisein.

Yeah alright I'm done trying to be nice about this.

For reference the last time I addressed this because these responses are relevant in this case too: [x] [x]

And a link to the original announcement to give some context on why nonbinary Oisein means so much to me: [x]

Now then:

Oisein will never be gender selectable again. He is and always will be (and to me always has been) nonbinary.

No amount of "I respect", "I understand", or "I hope" can disguise the thinly-veiled and entitled "I want, I want, I want" you've shown in sending this to me. This doesn’t show respect, and I’m not sure what possessed you to think it did.

I get that you’ve built a character in my world, and I feel so fortunate that people have wanted to take part in it. I get that it was a change from what I originally wrote, and if I could do it all again, I'd make them nonbinary from the start.

But plainly, it’s not your game or story. That feeling that you’re missing something in a narrative that is so much wider than Oisein-being-gender-selectable is not my responsibility, and I’m not even going to touch the whole “nb!Oisein doesn’t click” thing this time.

General PSA for everyone: Future messages asking why nb!Oisein exists or if they'll be changed back to selectable will be immediately deleted/blocked because I (and I'm sure everyone reading) have hit my limit talking about this 🙃

Thanks!

The Ballad of What Could Have Been

On my knees begging for a part two of this. Immaculate stuff

-@a-crumb-of-whump

(Oh no… I wrote that little one shot because I was hiding from the other sequels I’m supposed to write! But alas… @a-crumb-of-whump here’s for you!)

Caretaker sat in the waiting room.

They hadn’t slept since finding Whumpee. Hadn’t tried. They knew the second they did, all they would see behind their closed eyes would be whumpees face, screwed up in pain.

Pain that they had caused.

They kept their eyes open no matter how much they burned.

Caretaker sat in the waiting room.

Two days, 6 hours, and 17 minutes in the intensive care unit so far. They didn’t know how long it would take but they would be waiting for the second Whumpee was cleared for visitors.

They had gone over and over their apology, but nothing seemed to sum up what they needed to say.

They had hurt them. On purpose. Even to save their life, it felt unforgivable. Hadn’t they been through enough?

Caregiver sat in the waiting room.

Doctors had updated them a few hours ago that Whumpee was fighting, hard, and that they were doing all they could. It didn’t feel very reassuring, if everything was going to be okay, they would say that.

They don’t think they could make it if whumpee didn’t. Didn’t know if it would even be worth it to try.

But until they knew anything more, they’d be here.

Caretaker sat in the waiting room.

They hated waiting rooms. Always had, and always would, especially after this.

It felt like a type of purgatory, sitting here, unable to move. Not knowing was killing them, and yet they were scared to ask anyone what was going on.

So…

Caretaker sat in the waiting room.

It was cold.

Then it hurt. Everywhere.

A bone deep ache, like when they had gotten their wisdom teeth pulled, but infinitely worse.

“Ngh-“ something was wedged down their throat, and they gagged.

They couldn’t see, it felt like they couldn’t breathe or move or scream- Was their rescue just their hopeful imagination?

No, no, no please, that’s too cruel, please…

They wanted Caretaker, they wanted to go home.

Caretaker promised they could go home, with blue pajamas and coffee cake, to eat and sleep and just, exist.

“Put them under again- I know, I know!” came a muffled voice, distant but it seemed like they were shouting. But it wasn’t Caretaker.

No!

The pain was fading, but so was everything else. They had to stay awake, Caretaker said to stay awake!

Stay awake!

They tried to force their eyes open but the light was blinding.

Caretaker, where are you?!

There were more people yelling now, and something pinched their aching arm, hard.

Please, make them stop!

Please, I need you!

Please, I love you, I want to go home, you said we could go home, you promised!

But their thoughts had already started to break up and drift away like a thawing river, and soon there was nothing once more…

Edit: part three as requested here!

[flootzavut]

if Henry was that keen on book accuracy for Geralt then I have to wonder why he chose to make Geralt monosyllabic in s1 which absolutely was his choice as confirmed by Joey in a post S1 video interview and by Henry himself in a print interview; the most likely scenario is that he thought he was gonna earn a shit ton of money doing Superman (and honestly I don't even blame him for that, you can't do big pretty boy action roles forever, at some point Hollywood is gonna stop calling or you're gonna injure yourself), but making out that he sacrificed himself on the altar of book accuracy is just silly.

Alex, staring down Julius: If it’s any consolation, they got me here on a very misleading text message.

Yassen, bleeding on a table: Technically, you are about to be screwed in the biology room.

I’m positive it’s been done but oh well.
