First of all, i am already compelled by this if because of how boldly real the relationships are in general. Love your if already, can't wait for more!!✨️♥️🤩

2nd of all, and this might just be me (who am i kidding, it's probably just me), but is Pierce based off of Marcus Pierce (Cain) from the Netflix series Lucifer? Because once my brain made the connection, I can't stop imagining Wyatt as Marcus now (tbh I'm obsessed, and yes... I would... like everyone else). We love an angst relationship as a starter. 😏😘❤️‍🔥

(P.S.: Now reading this after composing myself, I've accepted myself as cringe... and I'm so sorry you read all of this, and smh survived through this nightmare. But srsly, we love it so far, and plz don't overwork yourself for us, ur a person too. Stay healthy plz, and thx!! 💖💋🫶)

(P.S.2: No I'm not asking anonymously, cuz I like to keep it real like a bad b××ch 🏳️‍🌈✨️💅)

Thanks! And I'm really glad that the relationships come across as real to you - relationships can be messy sometimes, and I wanted to make sure that was focused on.

Lmao I've never actually watched Lucifer, so any similarities to pre-existing characters is pure coincidence :)

(As an aside, we're all a little cringe lol otherwise I wouldn't have written an IF and posted it online for everyone to see on the internet...)

💋 (kiss) - Is your oc a good kisser? Have they kissed anyone before? Do they even enjoy kissing? What was their first kiss like in comparison to their most recent?

I'll start off by saying that good is a bit subjective. So b/c of that, I'll answer how experienced they are instead.

Wyatt: He hasn't dated nor kissed many people, so he's not that experienced. He's kinda neutral about it tbh. But I will say that he's incredibly embarrassed about how his first kiss went. He was very stiff and uncomfortable. It takes a bit for him to relax and enjoy it.

Casey: They're very experienced when it comes to kissing and they quite enjoy it. Their first kiss started awkward, but they're a quick learner so they picked up how to do things fast. They don't remember their most recent kiss - mostly b/c they have hookups so often, the memories all kinda blur together.

Evie: She's more experienced than Wyatt, but she doesn't date often. Also, she only likes kissing if it's with someone she really connects with. For her first kiss, I'd say that she was overally enthusiastic. She's learned to tone it down since then.

JJ: They loved their spouse, Riley, very much, and since Riley died, they haven't kissed anyone since. They do enjoy kissing though, and they had several relationships prior to getting married. They don't remember their first kiss. It was a very long time ago for them.

Lovelace: They have dated and kissed only one person in their entire life so far. That first kiss was very awkward b/c it caught them off guard, but they rolled with it. But tbh, they're neutral about kissing as a whole. They would enjoy it more if it was MC.

Are you okay with NSFW asks? Do you have any rules about it?

Yep, totally fine with them. Just make sure any NSFW asks have "NSFW" at the beginning so I know :)

[whencloudwavesbreak-if]

What are their thoughts about marriage and kids?

Wyatt: Both make him incredibly nervous. But if they make MC happy, then he'll do it. He would make a very good father though, and a just as devoted spouse.

Casey: They don't like the pomp and circumstance of weddings, so an elopement would work better for them. They just wouldn't want to make a big deal out of it. About kids - what they like most about kids is that they can give them back to their parents.

Evie: She's incredibly straight-laced, with her own ideas on how relationships are supposed to progress. So yes, she expects marriage and kids (eventually).

JJ: Well, given their previous history, they're pretty much over the whole "getting married" thing at this point. Now, they'd prefer a long-term unmarried relationship. Regarding kids, they're neutral. But if MC wants them, they'd definitely want to talk logistics.

Lovelace: They'd absolutely love to get married. Kids though? How much attention do they need from MC? Oh, a lot? Eh...

ROs heights? (in cm or ft).

I never determined the exact heights of the characters, but I do have a vague range :) See below:

Wyatt - Average/Tall. Between 5'7" and 6'0".

Casey - Short/Average. Between 5'0" and 5'6".

Evie - Short. 5'4" and below.

JJ - Average/Tall. Between 5'5" and 5'10".

Lovelace - Tall/Very Tall. 5'9" and above.

[whencloudwavesbreak-if]

💘 HEART W/ ARROW - what traits do they look for in a relationship? do they believe in love at first sight?

Wyatt: Reciprocity and mutual, unspoken trust. No, he doesn't believe in love at first sight. In his opinion, the only love worth having is one built up over years.

Casey: They're looking for a fun time, but they would benefit more from some form of stability. They're skeptical of love at first sight. It seems silly to them, and utterly unpragmatic.

Evie: Confidence - someone who believes in her, like she believes in them, and supports her like she does them. She'd like love at first sight to be real, but is doubtful (maybe you can change her mind? ;))

JJ: A mutual partnership and communication, but they'd especially benefit from someone who pushes back against them. No, they don't believe in love at first sight. A part of it is just them being bitter. It makes them feel really old, and they hate that lmao

Lovelace: Total, utter devotion. Open communication. And absolutely, they believe in love at first sight. 👀

[whencloudwavesbreak-if]

💗 GROWING HEART - if they have a crush, is it noticable? what changes when they’re in love?

Wyatt: No, it's not obvious. He's professional first and foremost, any personal relationships come second. When he's in love, then he'll show his affection very subtly; being present, openly listening, doing things for you without you needing to ask.

Casey: Yes. And they easily recognize these feelings, so they're quick to confess too. They don't have much experience in being in love tho. So they'll find themselves becoming extremely protective, much to their own confusion.

Evie: Yes, she gets more flustered. If you have a high distrust level with her, she'll also be frustrated; she shouldn't be attracted to you, but she is, and that's infuriating to her. When she's in love, she becomes more confident, with you and others when you're with her.

JJ: No, not really. But that's mainly because fighting and loving go hand-in-hand for them. If they're fighting/arguing with you, they're showing they care. They do other things too, but this is big for them.

Lovelace: Yes, absolutely. And after they've confessed their love, they become less afraid of showing who they are (and just how far they'll go for you).

[whencloudwavesbreak-if]

🔧 WRENCH - are they good at fixing relationships? or do they tend to avoid doing so?

Wyatt: He dislikes drama. After an argument, he'll take the time to calm down before coming back with a more level head to apologize. Mind you, if it's someone else's relationship, he ain't touching that with a ten foot pole.

Casey: Like JJ, they don't like admitting when they're wrong. But also like Wyatt, they're pretty quick about reconciling. They'll just be petty about it for a little while longer until they properly cool off.

Evie: She's the type to apologize immediately. Or if not, then she'll keep putting it off out of anxiety, in which case, you'll have to go to her first or wait for her to come to you. And that could take a while.

JJ: They don't like admitting when they're wrong, so either you have to make them think it's their idea or wait until they've realized the harm they've done.

Lovelace: They're willing to concede to you majority of the time. But there are a few hard boundaries they have that under no circumstance will they budge. And they'll make you see their point of view, whether you want to or not.

[whencloudwavesbreak-if]

Who are the big spoons and who are the little spoons out of the ROs?

Wyatt: He doesn't have much relationship experience. He's used to being the big spoon, but tbh he'd like being little spoon better.

Casey: Depends on their mood.

Evie: Little spoon. She likes feeling safe in your arms <3

JJ: Big spoon. They like being in control.

Lovelace: They're fine with whatever you want ;)

[whencloudwavesbreak-if]

What are the ROs love languages?

I'll divide it into two categories, giving and receiving, since they all have different ways of expressing their affection vs. how they'd like their partner to express themselves.

Wyatt: Quality time, acts of service (giving and receiving).

Casey: Physical touch, quality time (giving and receiving).

Evie: Acts of service (giving). Gifts (receiving). Words of affirmation for both.

JJ: Quality time, words of affirmation (giving). Acts of service, gifts (receiving).

Lovelace: Acts of service, gifts (giving). Words of affirmation (receiving). Physical touch for both.

[whencloudwavesbreak-if]

Care to share some facts about the ROs?

Sure!

Wyatt: He likes collecting swords, but he's very shy about it. You know you're friends with him if he shows you where he puts them all. He'd have so much fun at a renaissance faire.

Casey: Their special interest is legends and mythology. Like, their tattoo is their Chinese zodiac symbol, the monkey. Once they learn how much Golden Gulf has going on, they'll be all over it.

Evie: She gardens. It's soothing to her; digging into the earth, moving dirt around, seeing her plants thrive. This is something she has done and it makes her incredibly proud of her own hard work.

JJ: Mass education is very important to them. Soon after they married Riley, they took over managing the Grayson Callahan Scholorship Program and made the requirements less restrictive.

Lovelace: They have paintings and sculptures all over their studio, by a range of artists. They don't have a favourite style, preferring more of a mish-mash of everything. They really like theatre and opera tho.

High Fashion Hellions

I finally got my visual novel project to a functional demo point, if you're interested you can find it on Itch.io. The game page has more of the breakdown, but right now it's just the intro chapter, which hits around 5k words.

Most of the heavy lifting now will be finishing the writing and those CGs, my wrists are already yelling at me.

New Choice of Games IF OUT

"UNSUPERVISED"

Play the Demo here ( @choiceofgames ):

If you enjoyed the Demo, remember, it is...

Plot:

You and your friends were teenage sidekicks of the world's greatest heroes. But now, the heroes are missing. It's your turn to kick ass and save the world!

Unsupervised is a 660,000-word interactive superpower novel by Lucas Zaper and Morton Newberry, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. Which is not as cool as an actual superpower, but you get the idea.

More about the plot and gameplay:

The Omega Responders were the mightiest heroes in the world, defending Earth with their powers—time manipulation, elemental mastery, teleportation, and more. You and your friends were their sidekicks, their best and brightest. Then the Omega Responders left to face a mysterious anomaly in outer space—and never returned.

Without your mentors to guide you, it's up to you and your fellow sidekicks to decide what kind of heroes you'll be. You're not old enough to have a beer, but you sure as hell are old enough to save the world… and have your first kiss. Or your first kill. Puberty just hits different when you have superpowers.

Lead your team, travel the world gathering allies, navigate the ups and downs of public opinion, and confront villains at every turn. Will you smash and fight until there's nobody left standing? Will you help the villains talk about their feelings to understand how they went astray? Or will you turn to villainy yourself?

Meanwhile, government regulation of people with powers grows more intense every day. How will you deal with PARENTS: the Paramilitary Agency Responding to Extraordinary Non-compliant Threats and Supervillains? One of your former sidekicks is already working for the government. Will you join them?

And what will you do when the truth about the Omega Responders' last mission starts to emerge?

Choose your powers: super speed, exceptional strength, heightened senses, elemental mastery, or time manipulation!

Romance any of several fellow heroes, including an idealistic teleporter, an ambitious rapper, a half-ghost, or a sidekick-turned-government agent!

Deal with hero regulatory agencies: fight the power, find loopholes, turn their agents to your side, or work for them yourself.

Name and design your secret lair high in the Himalayas.

Follow a heroic legacy, or dive deep into villainy!

Teleport around the world, confronting villains and uncovering conspiracies from New York to Paris!

Customize your supersuit, choose your team name, and manage your fellow heroes' strengths to make them into the best team they can be!

Every teenager wants to change the world. But only you can save it.

Hey, just wanted to ask if you have any kind of rules when it comes to sending asks?

Like what are your boundaries, are character asks/scenarios and other stuff acceptable?

Also i wanted to express that i already are head over heals for our sweet and tired police man wyatt and i really enjoy your writing, thats all thx, stay hydrated :)

Hey there! I have pretty generous limits, so feel free to throw just about anything my way.

Character asks/scenarios are all perfectly acceptable. Just if you plan on sending in anything NSFW, please mark it at the start of the ask. And if a question turns out to be a spoiler, I'll say so :)

I'm happy that people like Wyatt so much. :) Hopefully the other ROs soon capture peoples' attention too!
