honestly, really, and truly need to talk about getting the detective some therapy.

[rangerdoubt]

dynamic: “not to me. not if it’s you.” (black cat x doberman) <- explain to me, please, this dynamic in relation to rho and neve. particularly the black cat x doberman. what vibes are those? i think i have an idea but i want your thoughts as this is your blorbo

grapecase you can’t see me but i am rubbing my hands like a fly rn

HM. neither of them really inspire concern or doubt, but in different ways. neve’s aloof and mysterious and knows her way around the streets. she tends to land on her feet in really Terrible situations, even when she really, really shouldn’t.

rho’s just definitely not a golden retriever. they’re either suspicious and formal with strangers, or outright mean. extremely smart but also extremely stubborn, and impossible to miss (follow the trail of destruction). they were a grouchy, cynical petty criminal before they were with the shadows, and now that they’re there, they’re a grouchy, cynical revolutionary instead. most importantly: they don’t really operate without a leash supervision, whether that’s their dad’s good name, or with the shadows’ help, or even solas. they’re deeply loyal and affectionate to a very few, but once they get there, they’re ride or die no matter what.

(it plays off very. interestingly!! neve’s like “omg why am i leading you into my danger” and rho’s just pleased that someone’s keen to have them around. the danger literally didn’t even occur to them. on the flip, rho’s like. every neurotic working dog. there are arbitrary Sins they do that make them suddenly go “aw now it’s over!!! i messed up and i’m going to get run off again” and neve—who believes in people against all reason—is like why would you get run off??)

Top Five Put A Ring On It, Lady Edition: Hana, Sloane, Kamilah, Lily, I feel like I should put a lady from Lovestruck but IDK who you follow? If you do put her in. If not: Leah.

You thought my list for da mens is rude, this is egregious @grapecaseschoices .  Making me choose between all of these ladies.  How dare you?

With that said you asked me to play and not to bitch so…

First up:

Sloane and Lily: I can’t choose between them and I REFUSE TO LET YOU TEAR ME UP LIKE THIS GRAPECASE! But yeah, I choose both of them.  Sloane is like NASA smart, lowkey-but-actually-highkey badass, beyond adorable and you just want to take care of her.  Plus Sloane’s mama is everything.  She will help us choose a sperm donor for our baby, I would get cute stories about Sloane…it’s all good.  

Lily is also prime bae material.  She is one of the most attractive female LIs in the game.  She is a vampire now so she can fuck shit up now with her super strength.  Lily could strap up for you every now and then.  (Love Sloane but I know she won’t.  It’s cool.)  Plus her libido will keep lesbian bed death far away from us.

Having the both of them be wifeys is like the best of the best.  They are both cool with poly so they do not mind sharing you.  They are both gamers so the video game nights would be epic.  Sloane would make Lily and I act right and Lily will get Sloane and me out of the house.  When I eventually have a baby, that child will have 3 black mamas, can you say #winning? Lily can handle late night feedings once the baby is weaned so I can sleep because she is nocturnal.  

Hana: I would say that Hana deserves so much better and she does, but I also feel like this argument is used to negate her sexuality and her agency over her choice of romantic partners so I will try not to do that.  The other reason why Hana isn’t ranked higher is her parents are INSANE.  They run their family like a destructive cult.  And I do not want to go to jail for attempting to stab her mama.

Leah: I would rank her so much higher but her selling point is also her downfall, Andi.  She is too much like me and there can only be one me in my house.  It’s a safety precaution.  Also, her ex is insane.  

Kamilah: She has been on earth for two millennia. Dos.  That is two millennia of not wanting to deal with my ratchet fuckshit.  She is not going to want to listen to Jade and XD recap Love After Lockup with me.  So bottom of the list.

Thank you for both of your asks @grapecaseschoices

Georgetown, Guyana

15 questions, 15 mutuals

Tagged by the wondrous @smittenwithdaydreams

1. Are you named after anyone?

Nope, my dad is gave my mum a set of Sierra Leonean names he liked and my mum picked Nyandavoh

2. When was the last time you cried?

Some time this week- I’m a uni student so I cry regularly to process the stress and the debt

3. Do you have/want kids?

Yes but I want to adopt because birth is scary and there are so many kids deserving of a stable loving home

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Yes, to the point where people don’t always notice because it sounds so natural coming out of my mouth

5. What’s the first thing you notice about others?

Aesthetically? A smile- I think it’s the most beautiful facial expression and I fall for one so quickly. Personality wise? How people interact with others- giver, taker, needs to be liked, uses humour as a defence mechanism, etc.

6. What’s your eye color?

The dullest shade of brown- just one block colour with no flecks or anything interesting, and to top it off, my eyes are too small for my face

7. Scary movie or happy ending?

Happy ending every time. I hate scary stories because my dreams are already sufficiently horrifying, and I love the warm feeling in my belly when things go right for a character- I come to fiction for escapism

8. Any special talents?

I’m a poet? I can also put my hands together behind my back and stretch pretty far up but I think a bunch of people can do that

London, Kings Hospital

I mostly endeavour to not engage in physical activity though I took up Latin and Ballroom dance which isn’t quite a sport but is a conpetitive moving activity?

13. How tall are you?

I can only go based off what people around my height say they are, so somewhere around 5'9 5'10? I’m not crazy tall for a gal but I think because I’m bigger and loud I can come across as taller?

14. Favorite subject in school?

Biology! Hence why I am studying it right now

15. Dream job?

I want to be a researcher in comparative cognition, an area of animal behaviour where you look at cross-species intelligence and how cognitive development differs across the tree of life 😍

Home for the Holidays is all I am thinking about lol. I have finals to study for and I keep thinking about this story. I like what you said to choicesfanboy I would love if we can choose the gender of all three LI. I personally want all three of mine to be male. What do you think about the new story?

I am looking forward to it. I really am fond of those abc family/hallmark movie stories where the MC comes back to town and stuff happens~. Even the awful ones are good for at least background noise.

Ty! The idea started off as ‘well, why not’ bc @playchoices lets us pick for the MC and coming off a convo I had with someone re: the LI gender ratio. My original thought was just the boss but I saw someone else suggest doing it for ALL (I wish I could remember whom) and I have been sold. So, I can’t take complete credit but its nice to know more than a couple of us like the idea.

[grapecaseschoices]

i dont abide by the detective is a weak, damsel in distress type character.

but it does occur to me - and it has before but REALLY now, for some reason - just how jittery/sheepish the detective is. at least for book one. it could just be first case nerves.

[grapecaseschoices]

F moments that made my heart flutter*

*and/or I felt gave some insight into F's character.

[grapecaseschoices]

i'm so soft about them.

[grapecaseschoices]

the funny thing about telling N to mind their own business post-the Reveal in book 1, is that you lose a friendship point but not a flirt point.

it hurts them in the heart but not the libido.
