i finally played touchstarved (my SHOCK when i learnt it's just a demo). still working on my MC's design, he's been giving me a ton of trouble but i'm determined

[strawberry-pockii]

ψ(｀∇´)ψ leander next! vere's a silvertip shark! ramblings under cut

kuras' concept mhin's concept ais' concept leander's concept elyon's concept

silvertip shark:

will basically eat anything they can fit in their mouth, and are generally an aggressive species. he will get you if you come in the water and laugh about it if you give him the opportunity

almost arrogant and incredibly agile, silvertip sharks can easily outcompete and dominate other requiem sharks. similar to our favorite not quite monster fox

these sharks feed on eagle rays, and vere mistook mhin as a quick meal and met their stinger shortly after, hence the scar on his abdomen

HE'S TECHNICALLY A CAPTIVE SHARK! now tagged and collared by The Senobium Science Center, vere is a research animal that is constantly monitored and tracked.

Since the Senobium "owns" him, there is many a times he's fished out of the water and kept in holding tanks. originally, a bunch of divers found a distressed shark at the site of a shipwreck, wrapped up in netting and anchor lines. the Senobium has owned his ass ever since

somehow he keeps getting wrapped up in anchor line. he's gotten used to the extra weight while swimming, he's still incredibly quick

other possibilities: blacktip reef shark. i knew i wanted vere to be some type of shark, and i instantly though of the requiem sharks due to their size and general diet. blacktip reef sharks would. mimic the black tips on vere's tail and hair, though they're too timid of a species for vere, so i settled on the silvertip.

I would do anything to see Clora clobber the fuck out of Duncan fr

LMFAOO THIS IS SO FUNNY...ITS JUST SO RANDOM IT MADE ME LAUGH WHEN I GOT IT BAHAHA😭😭 so here you go anon, just for you 😌🙏

yes he is!! i headcanon that him and clora grow old together and once clora dies of old age, seb's job of protecting her is finally done so he breaks the horcrux and then follows her soon after 🥲 that means she'd die before him tho/he'd watch her die AND I HATE THINKING ABOUT THAT...SO I DONT....Kat_12739 on ao3 wrote about it in chapters 11 and 12 of every teardrop is a waterfall and in her version/story, sebastian outlives clora AND lewis and celeste, and its only once theyre ALL dead only then does sebastian break the horcrux and let himself die/meets them in the afterlife AND GIRL U BETTER BELIEVE I WAS SOBBING MY EYES OUT WHEN I READ THOSE CHAPTERS LMAOO so yes seb is immortal and will outlive clora BUT WE DONT THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!!! TRALALALALA

Touchstarved LIs, on a scale of how much they fuck with you

Mhin: Not ever attempting to fuck with you, and expects the same treatment in return. That stick up their ass is shoved pretty far in, so you're going to need to get pretty close to them before you can start playing around and making jokes. Attempts to fuck with them will likely be met with deadpan stares, unimpressed frowns, disappointed mouth-noises, and/or insults.

Kuras: Not above fucking with you, but always in good humor, and will immediately tell you afterwards when he's joking. A classic "lol jk jk" girlie. I feel like Ais has probably had a bit of a bad influence on him, as he was less likely to fuck with people in the past for no reason (LESS likely, not UNlikely). But he likes to see how people react!

Ais: Loves fucking with you, but mostly in good humor. He will definitely let you walk around thinking something is true and then when you say it he'll be like, "That's not true. Who told you that?" like it wasn't him. The type of person whose kids will believe that Santa is real until like high school because he loves keeping up a bit. Will this put you in danger at some point? It's likely, but that's not necessarily his intention. Will you have a lot of inside jokes? Absolutely.

Vere: Needs to fuck with you to keep things interesting so he's going to do it all the time, often to your detriment. Light gaslighting, but nothing you can't see through with a little squinting. Part of the reason Vere has to mess with people is also because he refuses to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known. His legitimate desire and enjoyment combined with his crippling disquiet over true intimacy combine into his specialty "you're not safe around me" cocktail.

Leander: Outwardly at Kuras-levels of fucking with you, but never judge a book by its cover. This guy is literally turning down the lights in your room right now and when you ask him about it he's going to say, "I don't think anything looks any different, lovely." -- that's how much of a bonafide gaslighter he is. He's like... a nice gaslighter, though. His purpose is not to make you feel like shit. He wants you to like him and trust him, while also driving you away from other people, and making you second-guess your decisions and your reality.

i don't know how i missed this or if it's been updated but

"twist the mind of any human you touch"

so mc can absolutely touch the love interests??

EDIT: so in-game it says "of anyone you touch" so that's why i was confused........

[rissi-chan]

I've seen a lot of theories about Leander's snake imagery talk about rebirth - and I agree - but why have I seen no theories mention THIS?!?!

Because, honestly, that was my first thought/connection.

Total yandere vibes.

Which, if you look up the definition of, it's eerily correlated . . .

Just saying.

[undermine-the-instinct]

Oh, so Leander's a fucking WHORE

[amayukiiii]

They're all murderous and bad people we all know that but Leander is like... the most neutral ever sooo yeah

[angeltism]

[trappolia]

What do you think are the characters sexualities from the game called touchstarved?

never really thought of that!! since the mc depends entirely on the player, i guess i always just saw the touchstarved cast as pansexual/unlabelled . though i do call leander a bisexual whore for the fun of it.
