THE LOVE GUIDE

— an interactive fic

SUMMARY

He’s hopeless when it comes to people, much less when it has something to do with you. You’re kind and funny and exactly the type of person who would never look his way twice. It’s a fool’s hope to wish you’d notice him at all, but apparently the gods have heard his prayers.

On the night before the beginning of his second year of college, he finds a mysterious phone in his bag programmed for only one purpose. That purpose? A guide on how to win your heart.

CHARACTER BACKGROUNDS

Scaramouche

He’s never been the kind of person who went out of his way to make friends. People are selfish and arrogant and even when he does something remotely nice for them, they scurry about as though he’ll suddenly go insane and beat them within an inch of their life. It’s a reputation that’s followed him since he was young, and it never bothered him—until you came along, with your kind smile and enviable ease with others. You’re exactly the kind of person he should hate, but an unexpected encounter leaves him feeling as though his world has turned on its axis.

Xiao

He’s quiet, reclusive, and soft-spoken, but people misunderstand his silence and general aloofness for dislike. He can count the number of friends he has with one hand and still have some fingers left over. It doesn’t help that he mostly keeps to himself, hardly socializing with others unless forced to. You’re popular, the resident campus celebrity. Everyone knows your name and making friends comes to you as easy as breathing. The two of you were as opposite as they came, but a chance meeting leaves him off-kilter and unable to think of anything else but the reason for your tears.

Lyney

He’s good at putting on a mask to show in front of others. As much as he comes off as an open person, he likes to keep to himself and the few he’s let inside his circle. One too many times, people have made the mistake of putting their trust in him, only for it to backfire in a way that doesn’t implicate him. After all, who would think the nice and dependable Lyney would have it in him to betray someone’s trust? You used to be a distant figure to him, both well-known but not truly operating in similar crowds, but an accidental slip of his mask leads to a strange meeting that leaves him bare for the first time in years.

whoever wins this poll will be the mc of this fic

at the end of every chapter, you get to decide what action he should take. a bit like a reverse otome, but there’s a reason for that :3

The faces of Tatyana Federovna

Heres a compilation of some stain glass artworks I've done in relation to Tatyana Federovna + Ireena Kolyanovich. Featuring some familiar incarnates and some non familiar to the official stuff in The Curse of Strahd Module and the Van Richten's guide.

In our version Lyssa is not related to the Von Zarovich as the last surviving Von Zarovich is Sturm.

more monster girls from patreon:

Have you ever wondered, "where do all those magically appearing shops go when their business is done? Do they slide into another dimension? Maybe they just become invisible to those who aren't actively seeking them out?" And like, no. They just walk away. The Traveling Salesphantoms, or Wandering Clerks, or whatever people call them in their area, aren't people who run magical stores. They're people who ARE magical stores. They're just rarely seen in their in-between forms and it's not exactly info they offer up so them being space warping shapeshifters is a little known fun fact.

No one knows what their exact deal is. Are they cursed? Are they buildings so haunted that the structure became the physical body for the soul inside? Are they yet another type of buck wild dragon in this world, except this kind uses the items they hoard to acquire an even more valuable treasure, stories about weird customer service experiences??? It is a mystery, and asking about their existence is usually seen as so rude it'll get you kicked out  before you can find your specific life changing item on a dusty shelf labeled 'do not touch'. So like, maybe mind your business Jeremy Thatcher Dragon Hatcher, and buy a ring that shows you the future that you'll be tearfully trying to return in a week.

Nosy.

someone has probably said it before but

Do you guys ever think about how in the Wasteland Survival Guide quest one of the very firsts things you do is like. Literally go and raid the raiders? In Super Duper Mart? Cause like

It's their home. They live there. It's not a scramble for unclaimed spot, they literally live there and sleep there and keep their food and medicine in safe places and you come here and rob them. And probably slaughter them all on your way in&out.

You work on Hackbent right? How'd you guys do the overlaps on page 1653 with Actaea and Corrupt Haeton? Also the art looks amazing!!!!!!!

It's custom CSS for the comic! Just like the blue background and title header on the comic's site.

I have Coffee to thank for finding the code using this MSPFA, but it also requires knowledge of pixel dimensions to get it to work correctly. As long as you take into account the Entire Canvas dimension, you'll be good. (For example, the transparent sections in this panel are 160px each so you would have to insert that information in the actual code)

JUST REMEMBER TO MIRROR THE TRANSPARENT EDGES ON EACH SIDE OF THE IMAGE! I haven't had the patience or time to experiment myself but usually if i don't do this step, it looks messy.

Day twelve of the @dragonaday-fr challenge! Vajra is primarily hired as a stonecarver, commissioned to add custom detailing to the homes of those who can afford her efforts. Though her main joy is found in woodworking, a difficult material to get ahold of in the subterranean city of Pinion.

✨Round 2: Match 31✨

(Yara of Nowhere, the Wandering Bard art by @gwennafran, Dorian Storm art by @agarthanguide)

Yara of Nowhere, the Wandering Bard Propaganda:

Sassy, wise, comical, and terrifying in turn.  Always drinking - never drunk.  Manipulates others through her grasp of the narrative.  Attempts to kickstart an apocalypse.

Dorian Storm Propaganda:

He plays multiple instruments (at least flute, lute, and mandolin, probably more), he is charismatic as heck, his class is bard, he is secretly a noble (sparkle points), he is my blorbo and i love him <3333 Oh he also has an amazing song courtesy of his voice actor: https://youtu.be/JjkOxRgor_s
