s1 stonathan was so crazy and set up for like. just dynamic follow through in general, really, and the writers room really said “ok now let’s spend three seasons trying not to let them interact” and now there’s this weird unresolved like… hey so you did some awful shit to my gf and i said some awful shit abt your family and then your weird ass beat my dumb ass and i wanted to apologise and ended up running into you fighting monsters with my girlfriend (? maybe she’s not anymore i’m a little unclear on etiquette here she’s kinda my first big boy relationship sorry dude) and you guys both told me to run off because it’s scary as fuck!! but then i couldn’t leave you so i ran back in. you completely beat my ass earlier but i’m an athlete so the bat at least i can swing haha (no other comments or jokes about swinging will occur, although at some point in all this i did notice you were the one who grabbed my hand and pulled me to safety while my gf (your gf? still not sure on this point man) held a gun but that’s like totally casual as an observation, no big deal, obviously, just like you getting my flat on my back was nbd, what was i talking about again? oh yeah, i’m a jock, right) and anyway we survived the whole thing and i bought you a new camera bc i broke your last one and you did deserve it but also i probably deserved you breaking my nose for what i said later and then you still saved my life so like. here we go, square deal, split the difference. and then if my gf (she is my gf, i’ve decided, i think) delivers it to you then it’s still cool and normal and casual and maybe we’ll talk about some of this next season haha—[gunshot from the writers room]

exclusionists really love to tell other queer people to die bc of [checks notes] they dont fact check and just believe that bi lesbian has been coined (it hasnt) and the coiner was a terf (it wasnt) just bc they heard it from other exclusionists. and for some fucking reason believe that bi lesbian is a terf term despite a ton of the other people telling me to kill myself over being a bi lesbian have also been terfs.
"who cares to hear out fellow queers who are just using an unconventional label. i overheard an Unsourced Bad Thing so they must all die, obviously."

Before we call anon rude because let’s see it from their perspective, imagine getting an entire feast to eat. That can be pretty hard to start with so much that’s going on, but if they start with one thing they know they’ll like (aka one character they like) that can be the start for them leaping to other characters to finish the story and the bigger story. I struggle the same way to start book series if I don’t have at least one character that drives me to read it, it’s all about what can be the hook to push them through. Sounds like the anon is neurodivergent (just a guess) so they might genuinely not see it as rude and see it as a solution to even play the game to start with.
Btw absolutely adore the game, the complex and rich characters making them all so unique is amazing. The art is so pleasing to the eyes I love it!! I’m waiting for it all to get out at once so I don’t get too impatient. Shae however interests me the most, which routes will have the most lore for them? Will there be routes that give more lore in general based on decisions you make or do they all share the same amount? (I mean general lore not just Shae lore)
Apologies; we are not trying to accuse any asker of being rude! We are simply explaining our perspective as the developers / are trying to broadly encourage folks to dip their toes into other areas of the story outside of the main route(s) they're interested in, especially considering some routes will be made available sooner than others, and these other routes will likely contain additional scenes/lore of everyone's fave(s) regardless! We want to give each main cast member an equal amount of love (and lore) regardless of their overall popularity, so our goal is not to tut-tut anyone for having strong preferences for one character over the others, but rather to explain that you may be surprised by how much *more* you learn about your preferred characters in the other routes. That's all!
For Shae... Well, they were a foot soldier for one of the worst periods of the War. Lore wise, any other story that touches on the War will likely have content relevant to them and their experiences. ^^

#ask#clotho answers#edit/final note: we got a *few* asks on this subject and will not likely answer all of them for the sake of our followers' dashboards#but we also want to note that part of our encouragements here come from the fact that Flan/Keagan are our most popular characters by a lot#and we want to do what we can to gently nudge folks who may not want to romance the fem / nb characters into checking out their stories#despite not being into them romantically. this is half of why we have platonic routes to begin with#we recognize veterans to the dating sim world may feel less inclined to romance characters that don't align with their irl orientations#this isn't a bad thing. some people steer clear of dating sims altogether because they're aro or just not interested in romance stories etc#but the unintentional side effect of this is it has a chilling effect on developers even in the indie sphere to make less diverse stories#if Flan and Keagan are our most popular characters then they will be our most *profitable* characters in the long run#and as much as we would love to not care about money and just produce the story we want to tell#we live in a society (tm) and need to eat#if at the end of ndm's development we see that 90% of our engagement went toward the boys it is hard to ignore the financial incentive#to redirect our energy toward leaning into the 'tried and true' formula that assures we can buy groceries and make rent#basically what i am candidly saying here is capitalism is pretty bad for creative liberty unless you're already rich / able to self finance#which we are not. and currently none of the core devs make *anything* from ndm#it would be nice if it does turn a profit but that isn't a guarantee - which the team has accepted as a normal risk in game development#anyway this is getting rambly but the Point is that this goes beyond us wanting to make sure all sides of our story are equally appreciated#it is *partly* that - we do want players to experience the entirety of our artwork#but it's not just for our egos - it's so we can keep making art like this#i considered including this in the body of the post but money talk suuucks man#and i don't want anyone to think we're glaring at them in a holier than thou 'ah-ha! you don't want to play maeve's route because she's a#woman!' sort of way because i think that's a reductive way to look at things#people like what they like and there's nothing intrinsically wrong with that#but if you like that we're making a diverse story#with masc routes fem routes and nb routes#even if you don't personally want to romance x or y#it would help us if y'all play the platonic routes#we are trying our very very best to make the fem/nb routes interesting for Everyone so those stories don't get sidelined#and if you don't like them for their own sake - fair enough! can't win em all and we'll deeply appreciate that you tried anyway!

frankly we need more acknowledgement that sometimes you have an first/early/formative gay kiss or sexual experience and you're like wow that sucked ass maybe i got it wrong but actually sometimes gay dating and kissing and sex just aren't very good. as is true for all dating and kissing and sex. many such cases

I know it's #problematic but I think it's really hot that I was out to everyone as a lesbian when I sucked my dom's cock for the first time & immediately changed my mind... like. doc martens wearing, shaved head, I was literally wearing rainbow underwear and paint-covered overalls when we hooked up...
the "I'll just try it once and see" -> sloppy blowjob in a public mail room -> "he's the love of my life" pipeline

I have the general rule that I just, don't let myself give a shit about other people's dumbass opinions but I have one pet peeve that I just. Can Not let go of. and it's posts that go
How to write [Minority Group]!
Step 1: Make sure all your characters are exactly like me the op, or are exactly what I like to see in media.
Aside: Anything else is impossible, unrealistic, bigoted and you'll go to hell forever.
Step 2: They also have to use the exact language I do to describe themselves btw, no matter the time period or setting. See the above aside for further explanation.
Step 3: you should never ever even think about the actual mechanics of what makes a trope problematic in its impact in the real world. J ust memorize this list of things that should be banned in all fiction (for being problematic because I don't like them/someone else I agree with said they should be banned)
Step 4: Nuances in identity don't exist <3

May I respectfully request taerae pls☝️
[a way out, or a way further in]. kim taerae has been your friend since freshman orientation. your uni ride-or-die, if you will. and for the past year or so of being stuck with you in acads and extracurriculars, outings and group projects, he’s noticed three things about you: one, you’re a chronic overworker. two, you don’t give a shit about anything that doesn’t involve academic or professional gain.
and three—
“so, which one do you like?”
—you’re pretty popular amongst the members of the campus publication. 
which is a grave concern, considering his first two observations about you.
“what?” there’s a rattle in your voice when you reply, abruptly pausing from opening the door to the publication office to present him a forced, strained, nervous laugh. “haha, what are you talking about?”
taerae looks at you straight in the eye with a deadpan stare. your smile falters, sweat dropping from your forehead. you can’t play dumb with him. the coffee you’re holding was from managing editor hao when you passed by him earlier. there’s a note from junior staffer gyuvin on the first page of your clipboard to meet him later. and when you open the door, there’s no doubt that you’d be greeted with a bouquet of flowers from illustrator ricky shen.
which is also one of the reasons why you’re so hesitant to walk in. he knows that you know that you can’t play dumb any longer, too.
“this is driving me crazy. i joined the publication to write articles, deliver news, and add one more credential to my CV. i didn’t sign up for this ouran high school host club bullshit.”
“then just reject them.”
admittedly, it’s very funny seeing you with your head in your hands— stressed and despairing while you’re surrounded by the cup of coffee from hao, the rose bouquet from ricky, and an additional stack of already copy-read papers from gunwook because he just “happened to have nothing to do.” your hair is a mess thanks to jiwoong. you’ve got an appointment with gyuvin in the afternoon and dinner with matthew in the evening. to top it all off hanbin offered to drive you home.
“how can i reject them when they haven’t even confessed?”
that’s true, taerae agrees with a hum. to add, you probably don’t want to ruin your work environment by breaking any of their hearts, so you have no other choice but to take the brunt of it all. “this’ll all be over if you just pick one, you know.” well, you had no other choice. “or, how about a different option?”
taerae presents you with a pretty tempting proposition, if he does say so himself.
“date me.” 
that way, all the other boys are gonna behave once they think you’re taken.
send me a kpop boy (txt/enha/zb1/bnd/dream) to toss into reverse harem hell! [matthew]
