Wade vs the Peanut Gang

(slight, vague spoilers ig?) about the HEA route, were we always intended to dislike smitten and his actions here were clarifying that intent, or was it more like character development? I've been seeing more people say that his actions here have made them dislike him during other routes too, so I wasn't sure if he was always supposed to be difficult to like or not

The voices are, among other things, manifestations of the player's emotions. Even the best things in life can be destructive in excess, and in terms of voices, this is far from being a unique characteristic of the Smitten. See also: Cage!Skeptic; Tower!Broken; Witch!Opportunist, etc. etc.

Smitten in HEA is an interesting stand-out case because the route hits particularly close to home for a lot of players. And when something in a fantastical setting hits close to home, there's a tendency to apply real world standards to the characters involved in that event. So players are more likely to take Smitten to task, than they are, say, Hunted, who traps you in a cycle where you and The Den violently eat each other forever, or Broken, who insists on torturing Apotheosis.

If anything, prior to release, I thought Smitten-heads would mostly be upset at his lack of screen time. He has almost *no* dialogue in The Pristine Cut, even in "his own" route, where the role he serves is more that of an echo than that of an active participant. I liked abby's answer in our AMA.

All of this is to say, there's no overarching intention for you to "like" one voice or "dislike" another. Each iteration of them is "different," much like each iteration of the Player is "different" at the start of each version of Chapter 1. And all of them have the capacity to change, for better or for worse.

I actually think Donald is one of those parents everyone ASSUMES is conservative and then one of his kids comes out and he's like "okay? 😐so you're bisexual, big deal. i did drag in college & had a torrid love affair with a Latino man.... Ramon i still miss you."

Morning comes quicker than Lloyd thought it would. It’s a chilly sunrise, the wind blowing around his hair. A perfect day to set sail into the sky. Taking a deep breath in and out, he readies himself.

Everything will be okay.

He’s just got to stay strong.

After waking up Arin and Sora, he starts the bounty and opens the garage door, the ship flying outside.

The fast paced air nearly blows him off the deck and he laughs, his hair whipping everywhere.

It feels like so long since he laughed like that.

It’s so relieving.

Sora and Arin tug on his pants, holding onto his legs and middle so they don’t fall backwards.

“Hold on, guys.” he chuckles and picks them both up, holding the kids closely and firmly. “I got you.”

The horizon just gets broader and broader and Lloyd smiles.

Guys I love this fic so much like this is not a joke how obsessed I am 😭 (un-cropped version under cut)

@sparklytimebun Liked for a Briar starter!

The early Saturday morning air was comfortable, though Briar knew the temperature would keep rising as the day progressed, so is the way of summer. This is why he made sure to keep an extra water bottle in his bag while out, one for him, and one for Tobi.

Briar had planned to meet up with Soma for a while, hang out with his new friend, but their usual baby sitter was sick, and couldn't make it, and it was a little too last minute to call anyone else, so it seems his daughter needed to come with. Hopefully Soma wouldn't mind.

Due to the estimated heat, they've left their usual jacket at home, and made sure Tobi was also in something that would be cool. (luckily her favourite overalls were shorts anyways) They just needed to wait for Soma to show up!
