Anyone planning to play crushing on Orion route and/or the still in-love with Seven one, but not actually going for them? I wonder if the characters will still acknowledge MC’s feelings if the MC doesn’t actively pursue them/gathering the flirt points.
I’m torn between making the most pristine MC so I still have a little bit of their approval or a messy one for the possibility of more drama
Seven x MC x Avina. Problem solved. /j or am I?
Victoria is either cheating or go into a poly (where her reputation won’t be that damaged).
Sebastian’s conflict could be Maya’s mother, if she decides to come back for whatever reason.
Orion getting past his divorce and realize work is not everything, and no you cannot hide behind it forever.
August and whatever their parents want. And what they want.
G. Therapy. Take 7 with them.
I know Avina is as integral to the story as anyone else but I’m going to be so burned out by the Savina’s narrative by the time the game gets released. I wish people (I’m talking in general not people here) would focus on other characters too
Avina is becoming increasingly annoying. I don’t need them in nearly every Seven scene; Pope and Kieran aren’t even that prominent when they’re in them. I also purchased the Patreon after reading the full Tumblr page, and I’m even more perplexed by Seven’s and Avina’s delusions. Seven feels that the MC had influence over them and is still trying to control them, but Seven did their own thing while remaining connected to the MC. They had their own random circle of friends with whom they would hang around. They weren’t only content with the MC; they could enjoy their time with others and not isolate themselves if the MC wasn’t around, which is essentially their relationship with Avina and another indicator that they’re depressed. The MC wasn’t controlling Seven in the scenes we’ve seen, therefore Seven and Avina are obviously living in the Twilight Zone.
Definitely. I don’t think it helps that we can’t solely deal with Seven because they’re a packaged deal. I understand that they’re friends (with Avina potentially wanting more), but the umbilical cord needs to be cut.
There isn’t really a how, mine is just wishful thinking. Seven is the most popular RO, people ask about them and want to know everything about them and the author delivers. But inserting Avina everywhere Seven is concerned and constantly teasing about their relationship is becoming tiresome, at least for me. But alas, it is what it is.
Well why don’t we discuss someone else? Who is everyone’s favourite RO BESIDES seven?
I know I’m in a minority here but I really like Sebastian I like how calm and chill he is compared to my wild and crazy mc lmao. Feel like he could be someone who grounds her.
I also am intrigued by Dakota and Blake and kind of like Griffin for the drama but as a person my mc finds his attitude crappy. Like she is attracted to him but could never be with him bc of how he is (which ironically is similar to her as she is also a drg taking mess )
August!!! They really took me by surprise, I never expect for them to be my fav. The late-night bus chat and everything with them at the photoshoot… When we can tease them about holding their hands and them grabbing it. THEM SLEEPING TO OUR VOICE… UGH Not to mention that Amy teased about them teaching us how to play drum with the right choices jkadshasd I’m going to die from that.
Also Victoria! She’s the sweetest, and again, took me by surprise. I love that one scene where MC makes her laugh… My heart. Hopefully we’ll get more chance to do it. I don’t know if I want to go for her though… Safest bet is to go for poly, but I’m not really into G (yet). We’ll see! I think I can go through the affair if it’s for her.
I REALLY like Ori, but I’m honestly liking him more as my MC’s older brother figure? As for G and Seb, I need to see more scenes with them!
The way I roleplayed that one is by picking Vic as the one who helped the MC That way, it’s like returning a favor.
Ngl I kinda don’t like Victoria for the fact that she gets me involved with her marriage. Like no, that’s your wife/husband deal with yourself. Wish we can say no to not get involved.
August :3 cause they’re (I think) introvert and me irl very chronically introvert and poker face when I don’t want to talked. But If I do have a friend like august I AM going to be care them secretly or make food for both of us, and probably we do share the same hobbies too lol
August, always August. Seb used to be one of my favorites but G has taken that spot, they’ve really grown on me lately and Blake is also a fav for all that repressed sexual tension.
I also love how thoughtful Orion is, and I’m planning a slow burn for him with no secret crush.
There’s this Daisy Jones quote that is so Orion:
“You have to have one person in your life that you know would never do anything to steer you wrong. They may disagree with you. They could even break your heart, from time to time. But you have to have one person, at least, who you know will always tell you the truth.”
I love the idea of my MC slowly developing feelings that start as “in all this mess Orion has my back and understands me” and as the story progresses, they start getting closer until bam my MC realizes they’re in love.
Seconded thirded fourthed LOVE THEM SO MUCH. May I also add the moment when they wait for us by the bus and how cute not only the flirt option is but also the choice that has MC enthusiastically dragging them away to eat is
Regretfully am also into Blake a lot they’re the kind of character that I can’t help but go after. I’m so curious about the possibile romantic arc there.
Thanks, I’m a sucker for slow burn that stem from mutual support and understanding, Orion is so grounding as a character, his bus chat is one of my favourite (only second to August’s ) and I love the scene where he touches the MC’s elbow/arm and the MC is like ‘??’ What is this strange feeling?
Not so amusingly, it seems Seven and Avina are more of a married couple (and more inseparable) than G and V. At this point, it feels like the MC is a cat, Seven is the furniture, and the author is using Avina as the spray bottle of water to keep MC away from Seven. How the fuck is the MC supposed to romance someone who is joined at the hip to someone else?
Yep. And Avina is controlling Seven and has all that influence over them that they accuse the MC of having. And Avina’s not going anywhere, since they’re Seven’s bandmate. I don’t see how their… thing… can ever not be a problem for the MC, unless the MC accepts a V-poly with Seven as the connecting point. I mean, Avina’s not going anywhere, and I don’t see how their relationship can suddenly go from them being permanently attached to some reasonable distance between them.
And yes, I know there are Savina fans, and “angst” fans that love this mess, but I’m talking about the end–a happy ending for a Seven-mancer shouldn’t be “well, Seven’s going to still be with Avina all the time, hahahahaha!”. But I guess when Seven is described as a character who can get away with anything because they’re pretty and was always meant for success, the MC will just have to suck it and accept whatever Seven wants.
Yeah, this is the part that is most annoying. Even if Seven starts to get comfortable moving five inches from Avina for a few minutes, Avina’s still going to be right there, not going anywhere.
Yep. We may as well get used to it. You can’t have one without the other, since Avina is rammed down our throats any time Seven is mentioned. And the whole “they’re in the same band!” claim doesn’t really work when Rowan isn’t rammed down any of the ROs’ throats where the MC is concerned. Like I said,
Seven and Avina are basically a married couple. Where G/V’s “less messy” route is the poly, Seven’s only route may be some form of a poly with Avina.
G is my favorite of the lot, at the moment. Orion would be a close second if he showed any interest whatsoever in the MC, but that’s not happening.
I see why you like Seb–the “normal guy” thing is a nice change from the rest. I just don’t like how he seems to border on being a complete doofus–ends up feeling more like a little brother for my MC to take care of than a RO.
I’m with you on Blake, too. I wish he were a real RO instead of a sub-romance, because he’d totally be the one I’d build a MC for. That would make for a hell of a haters to fuckbuddies to lovers romance. Kinda sucks that he’s the most intriguing male RO, and he’s not even a real option, lol.
Nuh uh I want Blake and G Avina and Sev can eat their toenails, but I don’t want them to mess with my potential relationship/s though. Like starting gossip or rumour about my past or their past. Or making kri-mi-nal side
Blake and G are both so hot, in my head at least, and intriguing I would have loved a poly/love triangle/square/polygon/anything really with those two.
Honeydew Roses sounds like something that would be on a poncy menu somewhere.
This is my biggest problem with the demo so far. Why can’t we opt out of going along with G and V’s mess? Or S and M’s? The more we’re involved with anything to do with G, the more gas the cheating allegations will have. And G’s save is entirely unnecessary if you don’t get lost when walking S and M to their new hotel (who the hell would do that in an unfamiliar city, anyway? And…didn’t they have a car? So S drove you all to their new hotel (so you could help them with their luggage?) and then you were supposed to walk back? Fuck you, Sebastian, you twit.)
I really don’t understand all these romances where we’re supposed to play midwife to the RO’s personal development. How about grow the hell up first, and THEN become a LI?
Anyhow, my favourite RO (probably you can already guess) is Orion. Someone relatively calm, and quiet and steady is just so much my ideal. I hope it develops decently as the story goes on, otherwise I may just decide to romance no one. I’m not touchy feely, too much physical demonstrativeness starts to feel suffocating for me, so August is something of a no-go for me most playthroughs as a romance (so far it’s not too bad, but I think that’s going to be one of the more tactile routes and I just can’t. Particularly this time of year.)
Blake I want a friendship route with. Period. It’s all because of what he said when MC was starting to spiral while waiting for her parents to call. He may be an asshole, but if he decides to be your friend, I would be willing to bet he’s the kind of asshole that will burn down everything around you to protect you (if he thinks you can’t deal with whatever it is yourself.)
