Today was Father's Day and you were so excited to celebrate your mate. Ralak left early at sunrise to begin his clan duties. You tried to convince him to stay home and take the day off but of course, he decided to leave. You loved how hardworking he was and how he always provided for you and the boys.

You've been working all day with your son Rak'äni so he could make the perfect gift for his father, "Sa'nu? Do you think Sempu will like my gift?"

Rak'äni has been working so hard on his gift, he's spent all day crafting it to perfection with your help. Watching him use his little fingers to weave was such an adorable scene that it made your heart melt.

"Of course he will, when he sees this he'll absolutely love it" You give him a reassuring smile as you rub his head softly, slightly tousling his hair.

As Rak'äni continued working on his gift your youngest son Neyäk began to crawl around the floor, making his way to Rak'äni's gift. As you watched him getting closer you swooped him into your arms, "No Neyäk you can't mess up your brother's gift" you coo as you tickle his stomach softly which makes him erupt with giggles and show his gummy smile.

You grabbed the prrsmung that was in the corner of the room and wrapped it around your body and placed Neyäk inside so you could be productive. You went over to the cooking fire and began to prepare dinner. You loved cooking and since you were making Ralak's favorite meal you were even more excited for him to come home.

—

After an hour or so everything was completed, you made a beautiful arrangement of food on your makeshift table and you began to clean up so you wouldn't have to worry about it later tonight.

As you put out the cooking fire you felt a tug on your loincloth, "Sa'nu? Sa'nu? When is Sempu coming home?" Rak'äni asked in a excited tone which indicated that he was ready to show Ralak his gift.

"Soon 'itan, he'll be here any second. Make sure when he gets home you shout Happy Father's Day" You look down at him giving him a soft smile

"I will Sa'nu"

A few moments later right on schedule, Ralak walked through the entryway with his spear in hand.

"Happy Father's Day!" Rak'äni shouted as he ran toward him with a grin plastered on his face.

Ralak's lips curled into a smile as he put down his spear, "Ah thank you 'itan" Ralak picked Rak'äni up and planted a small kiss on his forehead.

Once Ralak placed him back onto the ground Rak'äni grabbed his hand and began pulling him to the center of the marui, "I made you a gift!"

Ralak lets Rak'äni drag him to the center of the marui, watching the excitement in his little eyes as he grabs the gift.

"Close your eyes Sempu" Ralak does as told, closing his eyes in anticipation ready to see the gift his son created for him.

"Okay, you can open them now!" Ralak opens his eyes and sees a woven armband made with shell chips.

" 'itan this is amazing, you crafted this so well" Ralak can tell how much work his son put into creating it which just makes him even happier and excited to wear it throughout the village, showing it off to everyone in sight.

"Sa'nu helped me with it"

"Oh, she did?" Ralak turns and flashes you a smile, his blue eyes piercing yours which makes you a little giddy inside.

Neyäk was beginning to squirm around in the  prrsmung so you took him out and placed him on the floor so he could crawl around, "Yeah I did assist him but he basically did everything by himself, he barely even needed my help" you say as you walk over to grab the gift you made for him

"This is from me and Neyäk" You hand him a basket that contained multiple perfectly woven fish nets. The works were intricate. The weaving patterns were a raw display of your skill, a mix of your new and old culture.

"Oh tanhì, these are absolutely amazing" Ralak loved when you create things for him, especially fish nets because he felt like you were great at making them, even better than him.

Each net was made of durable seagrass, natural fibers, and sea hemp. All of these materials were harder to find due to them being closer to the edge of the reef. He knew how difficult it was to retrieve these materials so for you to take the time and collect them so you could make him this wonderful gift meant the world to him.

He could tell that you poured your love into each thread.

"I knew how much you needed new fish nets and you couldn't find the time to make any so I decided to make them for you, I hope you like them."

"Like them? I love them, thank you my love" Ralak walked over to you and planted a kiss on your forehead

"I have another surprise for you tonight" a smirk appears on your lips as you run your hands through his long slick hair.

You had a beautiful night planned for the both of you, you even had the seamstress create a new, more intimate outfit for you.

"Oh, a surprise huh? Well, I can't wait to see it" He replicates your smirk with a small twinkle of desire in his eye, he couldn't wait to have his way with you tonight.

"Happy Father's Day Lak. you're the best father to our children"

"And I couldn't ask for a better mate” he gives you a quick yet soft kiss on the lips, “now let's enjoy that great dinner you made" He scoops Neyäk off the floor and sits down next to Rak'äni, and begins to play with them.

As you watch them laugh and smile you couldn't be happier, you were so thankful that Eywa gave you this perfect little family.

I hope you enjoyed🩵!

[cripplecharacters]

would it be fine for two characters with very similar facial differences (pretty identical, small differences and on the opposite sides of the face) to like. joke together about “oh we’re twinning!” “hey thats MY thing/copycat” “it looks Way cooler on ME than YOU cause im So cool and awesome and ur a loser :/“ in like. a very clearly teasing/joking way, both are in on the jokes and neither are offended + theres no issues with the other characters and these two’s facial differences, they don’t feel like theyre ugly or gross for it, they’re mostly brought up when these two are being silly abt it. there is also another character with a facial difference who isn’t in on these jokes, the two are teenagers and best friends and he’s an adult + guardian figure of one of them so they just don’t joke with him that way n stuff.

does this make sense? idm providing more info if needed, and I think this is fine as far as I know between general fd research and going through ur tag on it on this blog, but i wanted to be sure! ty :3

Hi!

I think that's cool and silly:) Especially if they're both teenagers lol. The "omg we're twinning" is honestly very real, seeing another person with a similar facial difference is like that one "same hat!!!" meme. Like hell yeah we sure are twinning.

I really like that there's not only multiple characters with facial differences but also that they get to be a bit whimsical and have friends:-) nice to see that

Thanks for the ask and being thoughtful about it:-)

funniest thing Nintendo ever did was go "would be kinda cool if you could play as adult Link in Majoras Mask again but it makes no sense :/"

only to follow up with

"BUT WHAT IF INSTEAD IT WAS A SUPER POWERFUL SEALED GOD IN A MASK WHO CAN ONLY BE USED WHEN ITS TIME TO KICK ASS AND LOOKS LIKE ADULT LINK BUT SILVER WITH SICK STRIPES ON HIS FACE WEARING FANCY ARMOR AND JEWELS AND A TURTLENECK WIELDING THE COOLEST LOOKING BROAD SWORD IN ALL OF GAMING AND HIS VOICE IS AN OVERLAP OF MULTIPLE ONES ONE OF THEM BEING LINKS AND ALSO THE SWORD SHOOTS LASERS"

Like, the entire game re-uses oot models because of insane time crunch but this guy gets built from ground up, someone at Nintendo was 100% letting all their "op edgy god oc pls don't steal" fantasies out with FD and it was the best thing they've ever done

And then the remasters came out and they made him a fishing enthusiast 10/10 best character of the series

extremely belated montreal worlds impressions, part 2

part 1 (pairs and women recap)

finally finishing this a whole month after worlds... i'm traveling again over the next couple of weeks and i've barely recovered from montreal! anyways, here's the (very rushed) ice dance and men recap.

———————————–

ICE DANCE

...is a fake sport, but i enjoy the vibes? i don't know a lot about the technicalities of ice dance despite having watched it for many years, so it mostly comes down to whether i like a team or not. overall i enjoyed the event, the free dance more than the rhythm dance (there are only so many 80s RDs i can take...) there were a lot of enjoyable free dances, even in the early groups! i actually enjoyed them more than the final group, in a way. the podium in ice dance tends to be too predictable.

chock/bates: i've never had much of an opinion on this team. i liked them best when they were doing character pieces like the snake charmer fd, but i also found myself enjoying their rhythm dance at worlds. they skated it very well and it was fun and engaging. the free was a bit of a question mark... i thought they had a lot of interesting positions throughout, especially in the lifts and choreographic elements, but the whole program felt a bit disjointed to me. it was fine, it didn't leave much of an impression. the whole did not feel like more than the sum of the parts... their speed was also not the best.

gilles/poirier: i can't remember much from their rd except that piper's costume was amazing, i loved her holographic leggings. their free was a MOMENT, though. wuthering heights has been one of my favorite free dances all season, and it was so good to see it live in front of a home crowd. they are such good storytellers, and when their choreo hits, it really hits. i love when they do something unusual like this program - it doesn't always work, but in this case, it did. the placement of that curve lift was perfect. i will note, however, that they are also not particularly fast.

guignard/fabbri: nearly swore out loud when her dress caught on her skate right in front of me. that was a nerve-wracking few seconds until the end. their free dance was beautiful and suited them really well, i especially loved the choreo assisted jumps near the beginning. their skating skills are clean and precise. i just wish their rhythm dance didn't have such a godawful music cut. none of their RDs have suited them well in the last few seasons.

fear/gibson: no thoughts, head empty, vibes only. in all seriousness, i enjoyed their rhythm dance, it's fun and it's a great fit for them. i did not enjoy rocky. i would have loved it as an exhibition, but not as a competitive program. i can see how it's a crowd-pleaser, though. they were definitely popular with the audience.

lajoie/lagha: probably one of, if not the most popular team with the audience! they are one of the teams i'm most looking forward to seeing in the coming years. i became a fan when i saw them live at last season's skate canada. they skate big and fast, they have good skating skills and both programs were well-choreographed. their rd is a lot of fun - that's how you incorporate a theme and commit to it! i love how most of the dance moves are choreographed into the step sequences instead of stopping and posing. the fd music is a little one-note and i still prefer last season's white crow fd, but their skating quality makes up for it. i'm so glad they were still able to skate at worlds after marjorie's concussion earlier in the season.

carreira/ponomarenko: loved both of their programs, especially their fd. i never knew they could pull off drama so well. their growth in the last two seasons has been phenomenal. it was hilarious that the audience kept getting faked out by the music in the end and clapping before the program ended. i probably would've had them a place higher in the standings.

other notes:

i came out of worlds with an unexpected appreciation for lopareva/brissaud. i never paid much attention to them before, but their skating skills were impressive. i don't think the audience really "got" their rd, but props to them for choosing to do something different. the fd was a snooze, though.

i also enjoyed demougeot/le mercier's free dance. some really interesting choreo moments.

turkkila/versluis: enjoyed their free dance as well, it's a nice look on them.

lim/quan's fd was another Moment! i am super excited for this team and how far they've come in their first senior season. hannah's acting and expressions are god-tier... they need to work on speed and SS, but their fd was gorgeous and one of my favorites of the event.

felt so bad for the taschlers' fall in the rd. i think they were the fastest team in the whole ice dance event, it's so impressive how powerful their skating is. i have questions about their packaging sometimes but i really like this team, and i hope next season goes better for them.

orihara/pirinen's fd was another favorite of the event. they are both SO expressive and fun. in any other team, yuka would outshine her partner, but juho not only keeps up with her but complements her perfectly!

———————————–

MEN

this was the event i was most looking forward to at worlds, and it did not disappoint. as chaotic as i was expecting it to be, i did not anticipate that it would be quite that chaotic. men be menning, as always.

ilia: i wish it were otherwise, but his competitive performances were just not doing it for me. his weaker skating skills were very obvious live when compared to many other top men. i like his sp choreo but i feel like he's put less performance into it with every competition. it was disappointing to see how much he slowed down during the step sequence. (granted, he did have an undisclosed injury at worlds, so that could have been an exacerbating factor.) the free was...historic. i genuinely wish i felt something while watching it, because the audience was losing their shit with every jumping pass lol. and why shouldn't they! like...what the fuck! this is the most incredible jump drill the world has ever seen! who knows when or if he can replicate it again! ...but it's still a jump drill. (side note about how irrationally annoyed the choreo sequence makes me. it's just randomly tacked on the end, the music cut is so abrupt, it has nothing to do with the rest of the program, shae lynn why.) and then i watched him in the gala and he was like a completely different skater. complete 180. the difference was so stark, i could hardly believe it. he can perform! he was giving more in that teenage-angst-ridden exhibition than i've seen in all his competitive programs combined. i can only hope that he brings more of that energy to competition someday, because that's the kind of skating i want to see, that's a skater really connecting with the music and the audience.

yuma: i'm about to heap an embarrassing amount of superlatives on this kid. it was my first time seeing him live, and he was everything i'd hoped for. jumps light as a feather, running edges for days. (you should have heard my ungodly shriek when he landed his 4F in front of me! it looked so easy.) skating skills - sublime, every stroke effortless, excellent speed. but what i'm most impressed with is his artistic improvement this season. he's always been an incredible technician (and i have a lot of thoughts about how ilia is being branded as The Technician and yuma The Artist now, when in fact yuma's technique is just as good, only with lower base value, and his SS are far superior, but i digress) but he has really put in the work to become a better performer and fine-tune everything from his body movements to his interpretation of music. jokes about making me like imagine dragons aside, i think his sp helped him explore music and sharp movements that were out of his comfort zone. loved that step sequence. (the only criticism i have is that he needed more swagger. he needed some more of what adam was serving in his sp, a certain cockiness and suaveness. but yuma has always been a more introverted skater. i think that kind of expression is still difficult for him.) the free was simply glorious. i didn't think i would like yet another rain in your black eyes program, and i was side-eyeing lori nichol for giving yuma this music after she used it for sui/han. but yuma made it his own. there were so many beautiful moments perfectly timed to the music. (ina bauer! spiral! and the step sequence, ahhh) he was so close to being clean, there was an audible groan in the audience when he fell on the 3A, but then they cheered him on until the end, which was heartwarming. what an incredible comeback season from yuma. i'm so excited for his future, i think he has so much potential and many bright moments ahead. now i've written a goddamn novel already, but i haven't even mentioned werther yet. i'll just say that his exhibition is one of the most beautiful programs i've ever seen, competitive or otherwise, and it shows off everything good about yuma's skating. perfect. no notes.

adam: where the fuck do i even start. honestly...if i could only remember one moment from all of montreal worlds, it would be his free skate. it was THE skate of the event. the mounting excitement as he landed all his jumps. the way i said "oh my god" out loud as he set up for the backflip, then landed it in front of me. the audience in complete hysterics. i can't even describe what the arena was like after his free skate. it was. insane. it genuinely felt like there was electricity in the air. the screams were deafening. my heart was pounding. it took me an entire group of skaters to come down from that adrenaline high, lmao. meanwhile, adam sat there in the green room...for hours and hours...and then ended up getting bronze because why the fuck not lmao. it was kind of the perfect conclusion of a chaotic season and a chaotic worlds. yeah, that free skate was THE moment. on another note, i don't actually like his free that much from a choreo standpoint. i think he's one of the most expressive and unique skaters in the field today, and he can pull off a lot of benoit's weirdness, but this free just isn't one of my favorites. it's extremely memorable though, for sure. his sp, on the other hand, was a disaster, but i really appreciated how he kept performing despite the messy jumps. he skated the step sequence like the jump mistakes didn't even happen. that's the sign of a committed performer. i'm very excited to see what else adam has to bring in the future, though i hope he doesn't start throwing in backflips too often - they're only fun when they're infrequent and unexpected.

shoma: shoma has a particular way of moving that is so unique to him. where yuma's skating is springy and light, shoma's skating has weight. it's very difficult to describe, but i mean it in a good way. it's the way everything he does feels so deliberate. he has excellent upper body carriage and his movements really project out into the audience. his sp step sequence was a highlight. he has an innate musicality that is natural to him. truth be told, i haven't liked his programs as much since he moved to stephane, but it was good to see his skating live again. i don't know if shoma will retire soon or keep competing, but if that was his last competition, i'm glad to have seen it, jump issues aside. i first heard of him as a novice skater back when i was first becoming a skating fan. i've been through quite a few generations of skaters' retirements, at this point. still an odd feeling when it might be someone you first saw as a tiny child, though. i also enjoyed his exhibition, it was a different style for him.

i wrote way too much about the top 4, so i'm going to try to keep the rest of this short:

jason: i'm just glad he's still skating. the world needs more of him, for as long as he's willing to give it.

lukas: very fun, i enjoyed him quite a bit.

deniss: finally! a clean short! more of that and fewer quad attempts, please.

kao: ugh. the collective wince in the arena on those falls... i wanted him to skate a clean attack on titan so badly, i love that program for him. he's very talented and INSANELY fast (cannot stress this enough, his speed is mind-blowing) but still lacking in control, and his performance skills need work as well. i hope this worlds was a good learning experience for him.

nikolaj: he's...so tall lmao. amazing lines. good musicality. terrible spins. looking forward to his improvement.

junhwan: the way i put my hands to my face as he fell on the 3A right in front of me... i just hope next season is healthier for him. he's a very, very quality skater and he deserves better.

don't talk to me about boyang

last but not least, shoutout to donovan for those incredible personal best skates! he still needs a lot of work on his SS and speed, but i really hope his jump consistency keeps improving.

———————————–

all in all, worlds was just...a tornado of emotions. some bad, most good. it was my first time seeing the world championships live, and i'm really glad i had the experience. for anyone thinking of going to worlds in the future, please be aware that the days are LONG. i skipped all the practices and some earlier groups of the short programs in order to explore the city, and i was still completely wiped out after every day of competition. it took me several weeks to recover, lol. thanks montreal! i definitely won't forget that week.

[spear-gsun]

do you think with this new chapter of fds mizuichi x yuugi will become a thing you're the mizuichi expert so you would know

(SPOILERS FOR THE NEWEST FDS CHAPTER BELOW)

Probably will get at least a few pieces of fanart? I think i could get on board with it myself IF we see more of them together and i like where their relationship goes I just really like them as a pair so far im a huge fan of their interactions this chapter, dont really think it has to be romantic and tbh im not really invested in that part of 99% of ships i like. Maybe i should just start calling them pairings And now i will take this opportunity to talk about Mizuchi and Yuugi in this chapter

This is the first time Mizuchi has had highlights in her eyes like this, not counting her possessing other characters or the ref sheet

Mizuchi cracking a genuine smiling here is just the best thing to me. god.

She finally found someone who could get her to open up and share her past with properly, and theyre actually ON HER SIDE I dont think Mizuchi's had anyone she could truly consider a friend or even ally in a really, really long time. And i think thats awesome Of course we have no idea where this will go, if their partnership will last or if one side is gonna betray the other or something, but so far i think its really nice

[raineydays411]

Literally just finished reading FD chapter 13 and- AHHHH SO GOOD!!! You are such an amazing writing oh my goodness gracious! I love the connections you’ve created and the way they’re portrayed and how you don’t beat around the bush when it comes to the emotional stuff. The subtlety of some connections but still how clear they are, like Peter where it hasn’t really been stated but you can feel the connection there and the best-friend-brother-sister love!

Spectacular!!!

I’m so glad you like it!!

I’m trying really hard to make sure the connections are there and don’t seem forced, and I’m trying to make sure everyone’s personality fits their character well enough, so to hear that I really appreciate it!

IWTV Figure Skating AU headcanons

Because I miss figure skating and IWTV is my current hyperfixation. Probably only fellow fs stans understand this, but whatever.

Louis de Pointe du Lac:

His most known program is definitely his The Swan. Choreo: Gubanova's The Swan. Costume: Hanyu's Notte Stellata. Strong skating skills as good as ice dancer, deep knee bent, flexible, so he can do layback ina bauer and difficult spins.

Tend to go to brighter music for short program (jazz, hip hop etc) while doing something heartfelt for free skating.

Pretty consistent as a skater. Keep getting high scores on Skating Skills and Presentation. Unfortunately he doesn't have big quads (only 4T to 4F, when he wants to risk it) and he's Black. so USFSA doesn't really support him and doesn't get that American over scoring. Even though he has saved USA's spots at Worlds etc many times with his consistency (just like Jason Brown)

Lestat de Lioncourt:

Typical European showman. Known for his character free skating programs. Reference: Javier Fernandez (second example). Pretty good skating skills, jump technique is decent. Actually pretty stable jumper, has all big quad jumps except 4A, but he can't focus sometimes so his axis is messed up.

Definitely always brings out the most chaotic programs for Exhibition and they always go viral and give you secondhand embarrassement.

Representing France ofc. Complete with French overscoring. at least 3 times European champion in a row. For drama, the president of French federation is still Didier and they have love/hate relationship. Running his mouth like Scott Moir at press conferences. Sometimes do backflips just to send fuck you to judges if he feels they're underscoring him (usually happen at Worlds, thanks to Russia and USA). He gotta continue that French tradition.

Armand:

For drama he is representing Russia. His coach is Marius. And Marius is basically Eteri, and he's his (current) number one girl.

Has all the quads and he'll backload the heck of them for score (that rule still exists here idc). Skating Skills aren't as good as Loustat but he has a huge TES and Russia fed backing. And almost always land his jumps.

Tend to use warhorses in his programs. Known for his long limbs and fast paced transition. Has been skating since novice and gets called the prodigy since the beginning. References: Yulia, Evgenia.

European champions are always between him and Lestat. They've been rivals since junior. But unfortunately since Marius is Eteri, sometimes he has to skip competitions for injury. He's way more relaxed during exhibition programs

Okay, now if they're a team:

De Pointe du Lac/de Lioncourt:

(Not to be biased but) chemistry on Virtue/Moir level. Definitely representing France, because USFSA is stupid and Lestat points a gun on Didier's head to take Louis. Coached by Zueva.

Combining Louis' elegance and Lestat's character by performing classic Hollywood pieces with storytelling. Debuting with this FD by Virtue/Moir. Ofc they go to the Olympics with this Moulin Rogue program as well, complete with the crotch kissing lift 😏

Definitely has a rumor they're secretly married going for them.

De Pointe du Lac/(insert Armand's last name here):

Unfortunately, no choice other than representing Russia. Coached by Tatiana Tarasova (but she likes Louis don't worry!).

Tend to use haunting classical music. Very synchronized, very classy. Reference: (a must watch!) Gordeeva/Grinkov's iconic Moonlight Sonata. Or Torville/Dean's Bolero.

Bonus: Claudia

Definitely best known for her teenage spirit and her Romeo & Juliet program.

Known for her big jumps, 3A, and musicality. That one girl who goes "I'll beat the men as well. Just watch" Reference: Kostornaia

Early Update!

Blegh, I am so very sorry you guys, but I'm not very satisfied with how the story is right now, and I really don't want to give you guys something that I'm not satisfied with (Cause you all deserve the best)

I'd say I'd post it on Monday or Tuesday, but just to be safe, I'm extending the deadline to 15th and completing all the pathways, and doing my best to do right by the new character. I won't be updating on monday cause this is an early update XD. so yeah!

Burning down Harag's house is at 30K words.I expect to add in another 2-3K About 4K words were added, putting the book at 124K words. It has now been 3 months since I started working on FDS, and I've written 50K words, (Add 20k If we count Patreon short stories) while reading through 70K. Quite something ngl, but still not enough for me.

That's pretty much it. Thanks for being patient you guys! I promise to deliver something that you'd all enjoy!!! ♥♥♥

♡ FAQ ♡

❔️Q: Story division? Vocal synth division?

A: Yes! Project CORALINE was originally founded for the purpose of promoting the founder's original story, Reliving Dead Memories, which has been in the works since 2015. While this is still partially the case, it has since expanded.

The vocal synthesis division has now been expanded with the purpose of helping others in the vocal synthesis sphere, by providing them a way to both publish and make their own vocal libraries! We offer the resources and funding to help make new ones possible.

However, we feel the need to state that we will not own any vocal synths, as we are primarily just a publisher now! The creator and voicer still retain full rights to their libraries, and are free to leave whenever they see fit. No one is forcing them to stay under us! The only vocal libraries that really count as being Project CORALINE property at the time of writing this are Sahimura Korarin, Ignatius Kadin and Mahalia Paz Kadin. Flora has zero say regarding voice banks that they have not created directly.

❔️ Q: What's the story division about, then?

❔️ Q: So, could I make a voicebank under Project CORALINE?

A: Its primary purpose is to be a publisher and promote Reliving Dead Memories, a psychological horror story that has been in the works since 2015, and is hoping to be released sometime in the near future.

‼️PLEASE DO NOTE THAT RELIVING DEAD MEMORIES IS INTENDED FOR A MATURE AUDIENCE, AS THERE ARE DEPICTIONS OF ABUSE, HORROR, DEATH, AND TRAUMA. IT IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.‼️

A: Perhaps! Contact @florageist for more information, and they can help you from there!

hi! I have a character with a facial difference (burn scars over a large chunk of their lower face from an incident as a very small child, it's not particularly important and therefore I haven't really shaped it out other than they've had the burns since as early as they can remember) and I'm a little worried about them and my general casts' disability rep. They're the only character with a physical difference so far (recently realized that and I'm disappointed with myself so I'll fix that), and the WIP they're in is urban fantasy, so they're a siren (they have gills and they're like. Everyone's bi awakening, plus they just have a fucking rad voice). They're not a main character, but they're the partner of one of the main supporting cast and although I'm not sure whether or not they actually appear in the story (they probably will) their boyfriend shows them off like dog owners show off pet pictures (based on how I am irl with my best friend) and the POV character(s) mention that they're really, really pretty. I'm trying to not focus on the scarring much as to not fetishize it, but I also want to make it clear that their scarring only enhances their beauty and its not a 'oh they'd be so pretty if not for the scars' thing- they're gorgeous, and so are their scars. Is it an issue to have my only character so far with facial differences have their looks focused on like that?

Hi!

Personally, I like it! I'm a fan of describing facial differences and the people who have them as gorgeous, handsome, beautiful, cute, what have you. It's a nice change of pace from the usual adjectives :-)

Fetishizing it would be if they had a not-so-realistic scar (e.g. just a color change to red or something) and no physical symptoms at all - but if you avoid that, you should be good. I would recommend simply looking at how real life scars look like (they vary a lot - maybe it's just the texture, maybe she's missing a part of her jaw), and checking out this post on burn scar care.

I think that the concept of her partner showing her off is very cute, it's certainly not something I see happen with characters with FD often (or at all, TBH). I also appreciate a character who had the trauma happen a long time ago - this definitely helps with not fetishizing it, I feel like it's a greatly underrepresented thing.

I agree that adding more physically/visibly disabled characters would be a good idea (it always is!) - if you have any questions regarding that, feel free to send another ask!

I hope this helps :-)

I don’t care what anyone says, I would sell my soul for this performance

Not because it was technically perfect- it wasn’t. But because of ☝️T H I S☝️. It was so deeply vulnerable, and they were so deeply fearless to go there like this. I don’t know for sure what they were feeling during it, they were surely dissatisfied with the competition result, but I hope to god they felt incredible performing it- being in those characters like this. This is not a debate over whether it was ‘too much’ I don’t believe it was, I don’t think they had ever or would ever ‘go for it’ like they did here. In a different setting- non-competitive/not this exact competition it may’ve been received better. But remove the competition of it all from that… were you not moved to tears by this?? Not to take anything away from Tessa.. but HIS ACTING.. this is not *new information* - no ice dancer- in my opinion skater in general can act like him. Yes there are male skaters that can do cute characters and others that have a gift for expressing music, but none have ever terrified me like Scott does here. He makes you feel scared, uncomfortable, creeped out, enraged, but then all of a sudden put at ease, feeling the overwhelming love he has for her, then at the end you’re almost shouting “Nnoooo!” with him as she drops dead. This was one of those performances where you give every last ounce of yourself- you almost sacrifice yourself to the art and the character and somehow you’re left standing at the end. Her reaction at the end- as they come out of that pose, sometimes I almost think.. she was a little scared of him- how far he went, which was perfect for her character. And if you still think it was ‘too much/over acted’ just think back to when he said how when he goes for what he considers to be ‘too much’ or ‘over the top’ that’s when she says ‘yes I love that’, so not that I actually think she was, but if I let myself entertain the idea that she was so taken into that world with the way he looked at her, stalked her, touched her.. cradled her to her dying breathe.. that ‘being slightly scared’ would’ve been the most invigorating feeling.- the best feeling to be so moved by her partner giving everything. Regardless of what this precise performance at this exact competition meant in-terms of the bigger picture, I’m so glad they had this kind of performance. Just to prove to the world (of figure skating) how amazing they are and their talents were too good for the judged element of this sport. Because had this been a performance on stage, it would’ve been met with thunderous applause and a standing ovation lasting forever.. maybe it was just not quite right for a skating audience and panel of judges, but it moved me so deeply. That’s why I love it and despite its imperfections I will never stop loving it or stop being proud of them.

Code Realize for the fandom talk thing?

SEND ME A FRANCHISE OR SERIES AND I WILL TALK ABOUT IT - Accepting!

The way I feel about Code: Realize is the way I feel like a lot of people who like romantic fantasy/romantasy genre view Sarah J. Maas stories (Throne of Glass, A Court of Thorns and Roses, Crescent City): a lot of time spent on worldbuilding and developing the characters, little in the way of actual romance (and smut, in the books' cases), but Strong Badass Heroines.

To that end: both Code: Realize and SJM's works are kind of...outliers in the genre of otome and romantasy, respectively? I feel where otome is concerned, many fans look for quicker (not instant, but quicker!) romance with all of the LIs than what Code: Realize offers and in turn, get frustrated with the game.

This, IMO, is a mistake: because Code: Realize may not be the best example of an otome game, but it is an excellent story!

Code: Realize, usually, is the otome game I suggest for people to try who don't like romance games. They don't like romance novels or romantic dramas and think lovey-dovey fictional romance where a heroine has the chance to romance a harem of men played out on the page and screen is stupid and boring and they will definitely not like it.

Spoiler: If they play Code: Realize, they usually end up liking it.

So, all of that is to say: this franchise gets such a bad rap in the otome fandom because otome players are playing it expecting certain tropes to be met without evaluating it on the story and character development as a whole.

Yes, it sets up a lot of backstory and worldbuilding. And yes, not every route will be everyone's favorite, but I think it's a disservice to dismiss this game whether you're a big fan of otome or you think the genre isn't for you.

Now that said, my personal takes:

Cardia is one of the best/favorite heroines I've ever had the pleasure to meet in otome games. To be fair, I've backed off playing these for a bit in favor of romantic fantasy and contemporary romantic fiction: a lot of the common themes or tropes that grate on me about otome (wilting flowers/helpless heroines, controlling LIs bordering on sexual assault, everything about Yang from Piofiore and Toma from Amnesia) can be avoided much more easily in novels if you read the trope/trigger warnings. But Cardia doesn't have the wilting flower problem: yes, she has poison in her skin as a weapon but she's also just really cool? While other players rolled their eyes at the extensive training scenes in the main story, I really liked that she learned from all of the love interests before choosing a route. She gained useful skills! This also reminds me of Feyre training with members of the Night Court in ACOTAR.

I fully embrace Steampunk Code: Realize London is not adhering to any historical accuracy, and yet I'm still digging it. I'm also weak for classic literature references (Sonia and I share this trait, to no one's surprise), so it's fun pointing out "OH IT'S A NOD TO THIS!" during the games.

I'm not a fan of fandisc sequels for otome games as the side stories are usually paper thin and pretty dull in comparison to the main one (though I may bite the bullet and buy the CupiPara FD that just came out), but Code: Realize did this mostly pretty well. I like the first fandisc/second game better than the second fandisc/third game as far as extra story content goes. I am also biased because we finally got the Van Helsing kiss CG in the second game (the only kiss CG left out of the original game? Really, developers? Why must you do my fictional BF so dirty like this?).

My aversion to Impey Barbicane is entirely because he is the unholy combination of Kazuichi Soda from Danganronpa and Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing, two characters who are just Not Sexy to me. Sonia's aversion to Impey in a modern Code: Realize verse is entirely due to the fact that he reminds her of Kazuichi.

My least favorite route in the original game was St. Germain's. I don't like him, he gives me the ick. My favorite routes besides the final one are Abraham van Helsing and Victor Frankenstein. Van Helsing for the backstory, Victor for his character development. Victor is also so underrated. If I had to choose any of them for a husband, I'm picking Victor Frankenstein any day of the week.

But because this is a roleplay blog...

I ship Sonia with Van Helsing, Lupin, and Victor, in that order. Only one of these is actually in development, with @scarlxtleaves' Arsene Lupin in a modern Code: Realize verse. He's saved her life and she still thinks he's sus due to the over-the-top flirtation (and yes, she has taken into consideration that he is French and therefore it is in his nature to do so). Her struggle, besides staying alive and safe from terrorists who wish to kill her, is figuring out that Lupin's affection towards her is genuine interest and care with real feelings behind it and not just flirting with her for fun and/or friends with benefits.

I believe in her, even though she's not exactly the brightest bulb when figuring out that someone really is in love with her.

Finally: the Code: Realize anime, just like the Umineko anime, is complete garbage and you should forget it even exists. Just play the games instead.

oh RIGHT lol. what have we all been waiting for. dumesh

MEET CUTE DATE, MEET CUTE DATE

[no alt text, ids below] cannot spell the main character name for the life of me and im not changing it. enjoy. also this is a PRO fucking the lion space. COOL

Winged lion: what are you, a total idiot?

Laois confused/nervous: Wait, Does that mean that marcille was a succubus?

Lion, annoyed: Don't you have a quest that needs completeing!? This is no time to get mired in some silly trap!

Laois: Err, well... Wait who are you?

Lion, cutely suprised "Oh, Right."

^make ur characters a little lame school of righting (ADORING HIM. CUTE)

Laois bashful, fidgeting: I-I'm not sure what to say to that... Lion, sighing: You're still hesitant?

^ um. um.

Laois: Is this also a dream? Lion laying on the bed "this is a hypothetical situation that uses your dream as its foundation"

^i think a lion should come and explain the non literal dream spaces in all medias.

Walking down a hall. Laois, startled: Who are all these people?

Lion, almost raised brow look: They're /your people/, of course.

Laois looks striken when a servant asks him what kind of monster egg omelet he wants. Lion looking at them curiously. Laois making a blushy admitting face: Wyvern...

Lion looking at him: He didn't even need time to think.

Lion, dangling alluringly over vision marcille: It looks like she's taken charge of most of the dungeon planning.

^hot cat

Laois partly cut off: And harmless monsters... Is something like that even possible?

Lion, as if closed eyed smiling: What are you so surprised about? Thistle ordered the monsters not to attack the citizens of his own country, did he not? If the lord wills it, the dungeon will obey.

Lion leaning up to Laois who's alarmed: I am simply "Power." The power to grant the wishes of the lord of the dungeon.

1. Laois looking stunned at barometz fruit. Thinks "It's still about an embryo?" Takes a luciously illustrated bite of it, juice dripping. 2. Laois offering the fruit to Lion, mouth open in ancipation. Taking a delicate bite, juice driping also.

^indirect kiss........ fruit eating innuendo. many things happening here.

Lion, closed eye smile: But if I'm watching your group eating all that food, I can't help but be smitten by it! You're eating such delicious things, day in and day out! Laois smiles/laughs, hand to his mouth.

^hi why is that literally just so cute

Laois thinking, and lion looking curiously at him. "I wonder if the mad sorcerer also ran ito these sorts of problems. At first, he must have tried his best to protect the subjects of this kingdom... But while trying to mend all these little issues.

^why so handsomely drawn. hmm??

tiny cute drawings. Lion looking with one big eye. "so, are you fd up with it yet?" laois making the pensive emoji face "hmm"

^microorganisms 🥺 and 😔

real world izutsumi feeding laois the succubus milk, hes sucking on the spoon, she seems to be immiating his expression. Lion has a paw to his face "it seems like ou time together is coming to an end."
