God, I’m just thinking they day people playing the love triangle has something like:
In that moment I realised something that wasn’t clear until this very moment, the one that is always in my mind, the one that is always in my heart, the one I want to be with is…
I was thinking anywhere from 1-3, because you’re right. It’s a fixable issue, and while incredibly heartbreaking in many ways, it’s not, like, rip-your-heart-out-and-make-you-sob-into-ice-cream depressing “Stay with me.”.
I was thinking that breaking the news to Garret’s mother would be about a 4-5. Any thoughts?
Oh I would put that at a 7 because she was so heartbroken.
I mean, we never hear anything about Garret’s father… that was her only family… she’s alone now.
Edit: who you bring with you might be a factor too because, like, what if you brought M?? I wouldn’t want some scary person breaking the news to me and then yelling at me to calm down.
I suppose it’s also a question of does this scale reflect the general angst level or just how angsty is the angstiest moment?
Because if it’s general, sure, N’s route might generally be just slightly angstier than average but that might mean that 75% of the time it’s all sunshine and butterflies and sweetness but then 25% it’s CRYING AND RAIN AND SAD
…but can we all agree that the MC bleeding out is angst level 10? like, is that the kind of crap my heart is going to have to deal with during A’s playthroughs or—should I ever feel up for it—the LT?
am I gonna need heart medication to continue reading, Sera??
I may or may not have written a fic about Nat/MC that may or may not include French kinda dirty talk, a little angst and MISSED OPPORTUNITIES in the library, where can I post it? (Will only do that tomorrow, still need to edit it and it’s 2 AM, whoops.)
HOW DID I MISS THIS ASK WTF. Did you guys all read this!!! I mean…How did I not know about this… Alright I’m going scuba diving in sera’s tumblr to see what else I missed, wish me luck.
Haha, it’s just two French sentences. Just, the way I wrote the descriptions around the dialogue turned out waaaay more sexual/intimate than I’d thought even though absolutely nothing sexual happens, so I call it kinda dirty talk.
You are not going to find more scenes like this one. This was a one time thing to give an example of the love triangle with an actual in game content. It was… omg, I just looked at the date of that ask, more than a year ago, I feel old
Alright, guess no scuba diving for me, however…after reading that I’m… 89% less likely to try the the love triangle, reading that was just too painful. Even for someone like me who loves angst
Join the club! There is a few of us who agree to play the love triangle once the 7 books are out. This way we can have the lacerating pain at once and not over the course of 7+years
Right…Like picking between A and N is like…Picking between desserts and savory food.
People have different preferences as to which they want, but…only having one and losing the other will leave life so empty. Every time you see a dessert or savory snack, you’ll always be reminded of the choice you made that day to eternally leave one behind. And no matter how much you try to enjoy the food you picked, and try, you’ll always feel a little…hollow.
Ok, this is actually good and horrible. Please don’t. I don’t need the image of MC expending the rest of their life with N or A, being relatively happy but always with the shadow of the “what if…?”
