Infamous if (band wip) chap 3 (457k wrds) released (9/08/2024)

Speaking of different MCs, I have a pretty good idea for how I want my skrunklies to act when it comes to Seven and Orion, but with G I’m still unsure… Make a good skrungly to give them some nice closure or make a drenched rat to match their destructiveness? The possibilities are endless :pensive: (curious to know if anyone has already some “canon” mcs in mind :eyes:)

Speaking about song’s lyrics I just figured out the perfect song for my Sevenmancer.
Yeah, that’s what I’m doing waiting for the public update :laughing:

At first I was going with the default lyrics we have in the demo, then I thought about using Don’t speak by No Doubt as a good post-break up song. And then it hit me - this is the perfect song for Seven:

I wish I could sleep, but I can’t lay on my back
'Cause there’s a knife for every day that I’ve known you

When you want it, goes away too fast
Times you hate it always seem to last
Just remember, when you think you’re free
The crack inside your fucking heart is me

(Speed of pain by Marilyn Manson)

I think Amy is doing such a job. So many feel so intense about the story and her characters. I also appreciate that we can play as so many MC’s. We can be a mushy cookie or a little Shit and I really appreciate that

My canon guy is Ivan because playing a very unstable rapper with all that it entails is just that appealing both for story and the drama.

Plus, can’t not romance the durian boy, Seven was the one I zeroed in at the first few seconds, pointed at that durian boy with all of my fingers and said “I want this one”. Him and Ivan would make a couple best described by the screenshots I’ve pulled from Tumblr and that’s how I like it.

This is so them:

And for my other girl, she lives for danger and she wants to rub it into Seven’s face that yes, she’s moved on, sucks to be you, go cry in the shower and write another diss track. So she goes for G and damned be the consequences.

Thanks for the info. I’m not sure right now who I dislike more. :+1:

Aaahh, I know what you mean. For me it seems like they react better if you are forward and self-assured. So mine is still finding the balance between being self-assured and not being to much of an ass. I somehow don’t want to let my MC be the enabler for them fall deeper into their problems (that’s just me, I have seen some self hating people destroy everything that makes them whole so… yeah). But also not be an enabler like Vic is right now.

Yes, I really hope that they get a little more depth. They have so much potential.

True! I think it’s quite interesting to discuss. I didn’t mean to go on a whole rant about milestones and stuff, it just became personal to me all of the sudden :sob: You are right, it is about emotional maturity. I personally think we all have our weak moments of immaturity here and there. It’s human.
If we are talking about characters, Blake seems to me like the most emotionally immature one (so far). With Seven it’s a bit more complex, I think. Definitely doesn’t justify the whole stage thing, but also there’s a lot of painful history and complicated emotions at play. Blake, it seems like, just had one single thought about us cheating and went with it.

Exactly! Confidence is sexy, but I don’t want to breach that subtle line between being confident and being arrogant. We already have blake for that…

Speaking of Seven’s romance songs, this fits pretty well. King of Wishful Thinking is definitely Ivan’s song.

I refuse to give in to my blues
That’s not how it’s gonna be
And I deny the tears in my eyes
I don’t wanna let you see, no
That you have made a hole in my heart
And now I’ve got to fool myself

I’ll get over you, I know I will
I’ll pretend my ship’s not sinking
And I’ll tell myself I’m over you
'Cause I’m the king of wishful thinking (I’ll get over you, I know I will)
I’ll pretend my ship’s not sinking
And I’ll tell myself I’m over you
'Cause I’m the king of wishful thinking.

I’m thinking of not having any ex!Seven MCs, the trip down misery lane is too intense with an ex :joy: but I love the idea of ex bff falling in love. I headcanon that one of the reasons that Seven took the vote so badly was because they had romantic feelings for my MC but never confessed and some of their current actions are also moved by that. Having my Sevenmancer starting off as bff who realized they have feelings for Seven after all that happened also works better with all the Avina stuff, for me at least, so if we find out that Avina and Seven are a thing (which I honestly don’t think they are) my MC wouldn’t take it so badly. I also like the idea of starting the romance fresh, without all the current baggage we have as exes.

My G-mancer works so well with them, it started off as my MC being brutally honest with G and realizing their idol is not it, but as they get to know the real G more they’re slowly falling for them. They have great banter together too and I don’t know they just work really well. Funny enough I use that same MC for Orion and they also work so well together.

Meanwhile I’m going all out with Seven. I just love the narrative about them being so butthurt and sure MC hates them back, only for the latter to not do anything bad towards them. Kill them with kindness from the inside out. :call_me_hand:
Seven writes petty songs to get back at MC, meanwhile my girlie has a notebook full of love songs to make Seven’s brain crash like windows 98.
Usually I don’t go for this sort of romance, but idk this depressed mimir has me hooked.

That’s why the hands of my ex-something Seven romancer will be very messed up once he’ll actually move forward in their relationship. That is the mexican drama pick, and this durian has an especially thick skin!

Oh, mine is the complete opposite. They both lashed out at each other and keep trying to hurt each other more and more because they can’t let go and won’t let go. Love mixed with hate, and now it’s hard to know what they truly feel towards each other and if it’s truly possible to turn back time to when Seven was Ivan’s world, his muse and the only reason to bother with music.

To each their own. I’m invested in Ivan’s story and how you made him work so well with that route, but I personally, at present, can’t see any chemistry between Seven and my MC (and it’s not because they’re enemies/rivals or whatever, Blake is our self-proclaimed number one enemy and the MC and Blake have chemistry), and I’m not particularly invested in their route so I’m trying to experiment with different options to see how to make it more appealing because, even though I prefer other ros, I still want to see how Seven’s route will be handled.

With a cross and holy water. Lots of it.

Hm. In that case, yep! Ex-friends would probably work great with the romance, especially if the crush was two-sided and they just… never acted on it because they were too afraid to ruin their relationship. And now they’re stuck wondering if it was truly wise, could all this mess be prevented, what could they have done with that mess?

That’s my Sevenmancer too :joy:.

So on another note. Does anyone else have the suspicion that out dear notebook will be stolen or a song stolen in the game. That seems like the kind of drama of a reality TV show. Also I would totally see Blake going for that and stealing and damn rocking out lyrics

Oh most definitely. That notebook is mentioned too often not to be relevant.

I picked sv bus first and on the balcony scene with Blake I thought he did just that. But it would be too obvious. Like he is always one scene away from acting like mister burns. Cackle cackle blah blah.

I would be surprised, if the notebook didn’t come into play somehow, since you get to choose how private of a thing it is… either for drama or to steal a song, it has potential, so I’m leaning towards a big yes on that :+1:

I have no idea how you can sell this cadaver of a procrastination night. No charisma can fix line this fucking ass… oh, what if we deliberately sabotage Blake and give him the parts where Ivan was binging xanax to provide such masterpieces as the one down below?
