[softlyopulent-if]

is it possible for our mc to have an additional nickname?? like i named my mc Libitina (which is the ancient Roman goddess of funerals and burials. bc i love tragic names like that, Desdemona, Ophelia, and so on. it feels almost prophetic with mcs with backstories like these ♡) and the idea of Our One Good Sibling or any of the ros or even Barret The Better Dad calling my mc "Libby" or something as softly affectionate would make me (and Libby lmao) melt. adjacently, would the ros use/what would the ros use as pet-names while in love?? is there any terms of endearment, pet-names or nicknames, that would make the ros in question equally as soft?? im glad you confirmed in another ask that we can call Barret "dad" at some point, im sure thatd make his heart ache with love (i hope, in time, he refers to mcs as his child ♡) im shocked at your well-polished skill to make me adore your characters (or dread certain ones) so much with so little official content yet released. thank you so much for sharing this with us ♡♡♡

I will definitely allow a nickname like that! I will likely make it something the other characters just call the MC, without MC telling them what it is? If that makes sense? Something the MC can be shocked at.

As for the ROs, what they would call an MC while in love:

Aleksander/Aleksandra: Likely nothing. I simply can't see them using one. They would speak the MC’s name like a prayer, though. They, at first, put a wall up by calling the MC by their title. When they finally allow themself to indulge and call the MC by name, that is just as special.

Rhys/Rhea: Very similar to A, quite honestly. They will call the MC by nicknames regardless of how long they've known each other. But there is something so, so intimate about using the MC’s name that they just can't resist.

Calix/Calixta: I’m sounding a bit like a broken record here, but they likely wouldn't call the MC by a nickname either. Perhaps, when MC is alone with them, they’ll say something. But not a nickname, really. My MC, probably.

Mestrn/Mestra: The only one of the ROs that would like using a nickname. Something like lovely, likely. The MC brings out something so vulnerable in them that it scares them, but also excites them. That makes them lovely.

As for what the ROs would like to be called:

Aleksandar/Aleksandra: The same with the fact that they would prefer not to be called by a nickname. If MC chooses to do so, it will make them feel close, but somehow it also leaves a barrier for them. They want MC to say their name. They have denied themselves allowing someone that close for long enough.

Rhys/Rhea: They are usually the one sprouting off nicknames for everyone. So, if MC turns it on them, it may very well fluster them. As for something specific, maybe precious? (They prefer to call MC that at first, you'll see it in the next update.)

Calix/Calixta: They don't really have a preference. But if they had to choose, something that begins with ‘my.’ In a, you are mine, I am yours sort of fashion, if you understand.

Mestra/Mestrn: Anything MC chooses to call them will be sweet for them. To be vague, their adolescence was not the most affectionate. They are starved—ravenous, even.

how can you like drunk angst over first kiss?? 🥺

anon is regarding this post here, specifically my tags

characters discussed belong to @dakotawritesif / @disenchantedif

omg, so easily lol

bc its not just drunk angst, it is drunk angst about knowing their ex is gonna DIE, UNNATURALLY, AND SOON and pining/having never made up with them

but also im an asmr/audio-roleplay connoisseur*, so like, uh, also the following here. yeah. this primes me up to LOVE drunk ex scenario regret/pining shit lol (you'll have to excuse all these audios being men btw, i have a soft spot for deep voices and there isnt many deep-voiced women VAs in the audio-roleplay community (unfortunately foR MEEEE UGHH), much less many that have a video involving this niche Drunk Ex trope anyway lmao rip (same with the audios all being either "for Anybody" or "for Females". i don't currently have any "for Males" in this niche, even tho im the type of enby that listens to all three types of "for [you]" audios. alas. boo hiss))

none of these are "Luci-Inserts" btw, moreso "Evidence of why OF COURSE I AM MORE HYPED FOR DRUNK HALLWAY OVER FIRST KISS", like a vision board kinda sorta lmao

When Your Ex Drunk Calls You (I Miss You) (Slurred Speech) (Funny) (ASMR) (M4A).. (Fun fact: this VA is Scottish. also M4A = Male For Anyone, not just M4M (male for male) or M4F (male for female))

(this one is by the same Scottish VA) When You Drink With Your Ex (Kissing) (Exes to Lovers) (Drunk) (Regret) (Wholesome) (M4A) (ASMR)

(more of this Scottish VA bc he makes me laugh) When Your Crush Drunkenly Confesses To You (Singing Idiot) (Taking Care Of Him) (Silly) (ASMR) (M4A) (bonus there is a morning-after part two to this one yay)

Your Drunk Best Friend Wants You Gor Valentines [M4A] [Tsundere] [Confession] [Sober Listener] (and this one has a part two about the morning-after too)

ASMR Voice: I Should Have Told You [M4A] [Drunk Voicemail] [Ex-boyfriend] [Missing you] [Regret]

Audio Roleplay for Women | "Orbit" | Drunken Confession

Audio RP: Your Ex-boyfriend Asks For Another Chance [M4A] (not drunk but i love this one) (also it has a part two as well yayyy)

this one ((M4A but he does say you have a "pretty face") bc i do like Luci being upset someone is going to hurt the MC) and this one ((M4F) because i like the frustration lmao rip) also fit the vibe but neither are drunk or exes lmao rip

like, you would think as someone who is chronically ill to the point that my meds say "absolutely no alcohol (and one used to say no weed, idk if im still on that one, id have to go check)" that i would not give a shit about drunk scenarios buT I DO LOVE IT IN FICTION SO MUCH. my irl friends also like getting drunk on/off, or high, and my forced sobriety due to meds (and also family history, let's be honest. i do come from a long line of addicts, apparently, best i dont get involved, and i never have been) means i get to play Designated Driver pretty often. so i do recognize some realities/fantasties in the scenario. but also, god, i love the trope because it allows for such forced vulnerabilities, i fucking love whump fics, and a drunk ex fic is really just a whump fic with no bruises

and, ngl, i do think it is more likely we will get a First Kiss pov somewhere down the line if it loses than i think we will get a Hallway pov if it loses

plus, they were like what, 10?? 11??? idk how old they were when Luci/MC got together. but i know these fuckers are fresh out of high school and Luci is getting drunk, which means biTCHES ARE UNDERAGE DRINKING (which is an interesting characterization for Luci that i think reveals a lot about the Rivera parents as well as Luci's connections to wealth/alcohol), so there is that drama of "hide, hide, hide!!" if nothing else

and, again, then there's not only the angst of "ah, my ex-partner and/or -best friend" and the wanting to make up platonically/romantically but there is also the angst of "i knOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET MURDERED SOON AND IM NOT READY TO GO TO YOUR FUNERAL BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO STOP THIS" kind of "lost time", "call for rain-check until you can't" angle too. plus, i could see Luci being protective or frustrated or terrified, there are so many fun angles no matter the platonic/romantic additional feelings involved. and, because of how this pov works, there isnt going to be a kiss or anything happening. so it's just going to be slow-burn (to friends or lovers, idk your mc) and pining (platonic pining is a thing), i love that for me specifically lmao

but i do, like, get it. i get what you mean. if i thought this ask was mean-spirited, i wouldve deleted it and not answered; but i read this as "lol yeah that is fucked of me huh lmao you right". bc, YEAH, first kiss is romantic, drunk in your shared hallways is NOT lmao rip but i dont care if its romantic or not, i care that its making my guts get all twisted up. and the angst of (1) drunk ex that needs to taken care of (or needs to run away from you, either or) (2) thinks youre going to be murdered/in an accident and die soon and (3) may/may not still be in love with you and (4) knows they dont have enough time to reconcile with you and make-up for lost time... ngl, that is going to impact me more than a first kiss. im ready for the tragedy. fucking love this kinda shit

also i have my own hcs about my mc, Giselle "Gigi" Kraven, and Luci Rivera's first kiss. so. that probably also plays a role in all this bUT HEY!! IM STILL TRYING FOR THE 50/50 LMAO RIP WE ARE HELPING EACH OTHER, MY COMRADE 🤝 YOU GET (DOOMED) FLUFF AND I GET (ALSO DOOMED) DRUNK ANGST, THAT'S A WIN-WIN LOL

*i would like to add: i have no idea if any of these VAs have drama or something. i dont pay attention to the fandoms, except vaguely for Redacted Audios because of the theories and world-building happening there (which the video here doesnt have much to do with), but otherwise i am so fucking ignorant bc i do not look these people up, i just watch their videos. i have been burned too many times by the Steven Universe fandom and other such communities and whatnot to get involved in fandoms i am only casually into, so i just only stick my nose into fandoms/creators i am die-hard into and dont delve into the rest, thanks for understanding if i may be out of the loop ✌️

cielo! every time you talk about secret doting skirt chaser loverboy nico, all I can think of is this scene in pride and prejudice (go to the 1:00 time stamp) where mr. bingley reaches for jane’s skirt ribbon when she’s not looking—it just makes me so insane and I thought you might enjoy it too!

I also had to get help from @/shwarmi finding that vid because I hadn’t been able to find it for weeks gdbdjdnk

PLS DEM 😭😭😭 this DOES make me insane. reaching for your skirts like that………..GOD.

he’s a lil more shameless about it the wretched scoundrel. i think he’d even untie skirt ribbons (so long as they’re for decoration) or might untie hair ribbons and pocket them?

(he wants you to squeal and reach for them so he can hold them away from you. wants to see you flustered or annoyed w him. he’s awful.)

always pulling at your skirts. what a DOG.

[shwarmii]

hi, i'm @/shwarmi, and tumblr tERMINATED MY BLOG (AND ALL MY SIDE-BLOGS WITHOUT WARNING ME) and i messaged them to get it back but idk when theyll get back to me, so here i am in the meantime, hello, i guess this is my back-up account now, yes, my url is a pun on Roman numerals, anyway, sure do fucking hope i gET MY BLOG BACK JFC

edit: i've been filling out a ticket form about Account Termination once a day (here's the link to it if you ever need help finding it for yourself in the future; please don't try to help me via spamming the ticket form or anything, they explicitly ask to not involve other people uninvolved in your account AND i feel bad enough doing spam once a day already; but, anyway, yes, i recommend doing what i did and having bookmarked the aforementioned link and just copy&paste my form answers into the ticket from a seperate document, like from Google Drive or something, so you don't have to retype it everytime), and i have recieved no reply nor even a confirmation e-mail. hence the lack of updates on how my account is doing. there's no other way to contact staff, except maybe via Twitter, as their support e-mail is no longer accepting messages (hopefully bc of the following they will be in contact with you sooner than they have been with me, bc i didnt know this following tip this past week i've been filling out that ticket and noW YOU DO, you lucky bastard. do what i did with a seperate document to prep in case this is a multi-day process, but hopefully you'll get farther in less time than i have bc jfc i wasn't even getting a confirmation e-mail beforehand big McYikes)

BUT!!1! a friend of mine who was terminated last year said to attach my un-terminated e-mail's account (aka the e-mail i am using right here for @/shwarmii, and not for the terminated @/shwarmi like i had been doing liKE A DUMMY APPARENTLY) to the ticket's general "Put your e-mail here" slot and to explain within "The more details, the better" part your original e-mail attached to the terminated account in addition to the rest of your explanation. and i finally got a confirmation e-mail that my ticket has been recieved! yes, it was just an automated response but yay! finally!! progress!!1! i at least got a fUCKING CONFIRMATION E-MAIL, HAHA, VICTORY!

god i fucking wish i knew about the "just dont use your e-mail linked to your terminated account" tip a week ago jfc on a hot dog stick, my guys, finally, a confirmation e-mail, gahhh

since i now have a confirmation e-mail, i will wait five buisness days (so today is the 8th and a Monday, therefore, i'll wait until Saturday which is the 12th except i said "business days" ergoooo Monday the 14th) to e-mail them again. i hate waiting tho ughhh like, fine, i'll do what i gotta do but also ugghhhhh

↳ additional note: this update/edit was made on 8 August 2023. @/shwarmi has been terminated since 31 July 2023 (or 30 July 2023, and i just was too exhausted to make the account/post until the 31st. i forget. i was in the middle of moving and im disabled, so i was over-exerting myself big-time. i had processed that my account had been terminated at the time and just responded by taking a nap lmao rip but yeah, therefore, it's all been a blur)

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. COOL. (Narrator: It was not, in fact, "cool".) I WAITED AS PLANNED (this update is being written on 14 August 2023) AND STILL NO FOLLOW-UP TO MY CONFIRMATION TICKET. HATE THAT FOR ME.

instead of sending in a new ticket as i originally planned, i replied to their confirmation email since it said i could do that (for permalinks or whatever) so that they will HOPEFULLY get back to me without me having to be a pest about their automated systems, ugh.. (i have cropped out my email and the Ticket Number(? i assume that's what that string if letters and numbers are anyway) for privacy reasons, but here is what the confirmation e-mail looks like and how i replied. i am including this mostly to help out anyone who may be terminated in the future have an idea of what to expect and an expectation of "OH, okay, so i can reply to THIS email-address, got it" kind of nonsense or whatever. why not lmao)

i will wait another five buisness days, so that'll be on the 21st of August 2023. hopefully, i will update with good news before then (aka: they'll haVE REPLIED MAYBE PLS PLS PLS) but i guess i will have to be annoying if not

it is the 20th (so they have one more day before i have to be annoying anD I DONT WANNA BE.. pls send me ideas of how to be annoying that doesnt include the Hateful Xitter pls, my only idea is to DM them there and i dON'T WANNA) and even my gmail thinks the lack of response is fucked up lmao rip

having a Bad Brain Day streak rn due to my (abusive) dad's failing health and unpacking and all this other shit i have to do post-moving like switching my insurance and renewing my liscence and fuck all, so bothering tumblr about not replying to me is gonna take a bit more of a backseat for a minute, hold on

it.. is now August 30. brain still in gutter, but i forced myself to make a xitter/twitter (don't follow, ill delete the account after they help me or not). and it wouldnt let me dm, so i had to just @ them and post. brain so sad that i cannot even be amused rn that @/shwarmi on there was taken by a shwarma restaurant. @/tumblrsupport's Replies tab shows signs of helping people as recently as 2 hrs ago, but idk if there's another queue here. i guess we'll find out?? i just want my accounts with all their posts and shit back pls, this has taken so long to try to do 💔

edit: if you're curious, it is 3 Sept 2023 and i am still waiting (it looks like they are looking at people who @'ed them on Sept 1 rn and iM LIKE "PLSSSS, I @'ED YOU ON THE 30TH OF AUGUST PLSSSSSSS", gonna give them until the 5th before i tweet again i guess 🥺)

i am not god's strongest soldier. i continue to cry out for help, alas, i have yet to receive an answer

it does not help that the twitter account sometimes says to people: "What is your Tumblr URL? We can check and see if there was a glitch of some sort. But be advised that if it is a TOS violation situation or a bigger tech issue, we cannot assist/reply on Twitter" so that doesnt make me panic aT ALL that maybe i broke TOS without any form of a warning or knowledge that i wasnt following tumblr's terms of services regarding things like nsfw and whatnot (narrator: they were panicking)

i hate it here. staff should at least be able to tell me (via email, if not twitter) that i wont be getting my account back or whatever else instead of just saying NOTHING??????

going to do all this again (tweet support, make a whole new ticket (i still have the info saved thankfully), reply to my old email confirmation) on September 27th (an arbitrary date based on I Have A Lot Going On Rn) if they continue to not reply. if i hit the 30 images limit, guess ill be reblogging and adding even MORE to this thread jfc juST TALK TO MEE!!!1!

hello!! if it is okay and wont break my heart too much, may i please ask for C with the birthdays prompt from the list?? feel free to ignore this if yiur inbox is excessive with prompts though, im curious but not curious enough to want an answer if you are overwhelmed ♡ much love!!

Absolutely no problem, thank you for being so sweet! I hope you enjoy this little drabble (honestly, I might refine this and put it into the game in a flashback with choices and stuff.... hmmm).

You smile to yourself as you fill your backpack with countless pastries, banners, party blowers, and dozens of party poppers.

Because today is Cora/Colton Calloway’s birthday.

And that is the best day of the year. A time just for you and them.

When you’re finished, you zip up your backpack and sling it around your shoulders, before quickly and quietly sneaking out of the front door, making sure to lock it behind you.

It’s a short walk to C’s house. As you walk, the moon keeps you company, lighting up the streets in lieu of street lamps. You’re buzzing with excitement, skipping each step down the cobblestone streets, giddy and giggling.

This year is C’s big 16, and their parents grounded them so they missed out on the big party they’ve always dreamed of. But you’ve got a plan, and a great one at that.

When you finally get to C’s place, you rush around to the back, finding C’s window with ease. You pick up rocks from the street and throw them at C’s window. It takes a minute, but then the window is opening and you see C’s grey eyes peering into the darkness. Their eyes lock with yours across the garden and instantly brighten.

Being as athletic as they are, it doesn’t take C long to climb down from their second storey bedroom window and over the wooden fence around their back garden.

“What are you doing here?” C demands when they finally stand in front of you. But despite their chastising tone, they can’t seem to keep the crooked grin from lighting up their face.

You blow one of the party blowers in their face in response.

C snatches the blower from your hand, pressing a finger to their lips. “Shhh.” They point back towards the house, keeping the grin in place. “Let’s get out of here before my parents catch us.”

Just then, as if right on cue, the lights in C’s house all light up at once, and you can hear their mom’s shouting from outside, followed by the twins’ crying. You and C lock eyes like deer caught in headlights, then you both burst out laughing.

C grabs your hand, intertwining their fingers with yours, and takes off down the street, both of your laughs’ echoing across the empty Ferngrove streets.

By the time the two of you stop, you’re both panting and out of breath, far from the town and its angry parents. You’ve found yourselves at your favourite tree just outside the town, its long branches stretching high above your heads and shielding you from the moonlight.

“Close your eyes!” you command.

C obeys, covering their eyes with both hands, but leaving the giant smile on their face visible.

You slip the backpack off your shoulders, and get to work decorating the tree. You throw the streamers over the branches, tie the banners up to the tree, lay out a blanket over the roots, splaying out the pastries you stole over the top, along with the party poppers and blowers. But the most important piece—a giant chocolate and peanut butter cupcake with a happiness charm. One that you had been saving for them all day. You stick a sparkler candle in the middle and light it up.

“Okay, open!”

C drops their hands, their eyes flying open.

The sparks light up the darkness surrounding you, reflecting in C’s glistening, grey eyes. You watch them carefully, each twitch and movement of their face, and all too late, you realise the reaction isn’t the one you were expecting.

C’s eyes well with tears, and drop after drop, they trickle down their tanned cheeks, as C allows the sparkler to die down without blowing it out. They rub at their cheeks furiously, fists brushing tears away.

You freeze, uncertainty overtaking your instincts, as you gently place the cupcake on the ground by your feet. “I–I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to–”

But before you can finish, C tackles you with a hug, bringing you tumbling down to the blanket underneath your feet. Their arms snake around your torso, holding you tight as they nuzzle their face into the crook of your neck, their grip on you strong and warm. Instinctively, you wrap your arms around their neck, tangling your fingers in their blonde curls, your lips resting against the shell of their ear.

“C?” you ask, your voice barely a whisper. “Is everything alright?”

You feel them nod against your shoulder, before they begrudgingly begin to disentangle their limbs from yours, pushing themself up so that their face hovers inches above yours. You feel your face heat up, and your breathing grows shallower and shallower, until you’re barely able to breathe. C waits, their grey gaze boring into yours, still shining after fresh tears. Your mind spins, unable to process the fact this is happening.

Will they–

But then their face splits into a crooked grin, and they push themself back onto their knees, rubbing the back of their neck awkwardly. “Sorry, just remembered how much I love you,” they mutter self-consciously, flopping back down onto their butt and picking the abandoned cupcake off the ground. You stay on the ground, too afraid to move to break this reverie you found yourself. “I’m so lucky to have you as my best friend. There’s nobody like you in this world.”

Oh, you think, trying to keep your heart from breaking, oh right.

You pull yourself up into a sitting position, and grab one of the party poppers. “I’ll always be here for you, C,” you respond, trying to keep your voice from cracking. “Never doubt it.”

C smiles, taking a bite out of their cupcake. “And I’ll always be here for you too, [Nickname].”

You mirror their smile, your heart lightening when you notice the current icing moustache they sport. “Happy birthday, C,” you say softly, and pull the cord on the party popper.

The confetti bursts into the air, and falls around you like glittering stars. But while C watches them drift happily to the ground, your eyes trace the beautiful lines of their face, and remember how it felt to have them be yours, even for just a second.
