Peter Parker - All about the angle.
Tumblr media
Warning : none
Genre : fluff
Synopsis : “tasm Peter parker x male reader, just the two being love sick idiots and everyone around them sees it and just thinks those two are going to be together forever. 🩷” - anon
Reader : male (he/you)
Tumblr media
“I love you.” You said quietly, kissing Peter's lips. He smiled, looking at you with adoration in his eyes and wrapped his arms around you.
“I love you too.” He kissed you again and again as you giggled, happy.
“I have to go.” You said. “My father is waiting for me in the car.”
“Okay.” He said, kissing you one last time before letting you go. “I love you.” He repeated and you whispered it back to him before quickly walking toward your father's car.
“So, how long have you two been together ?” Gwen asked, looking at Peter with big interested eyes.
“Huh ?” He jumped, he hadn't heard her arrive, too focused on you leaving.
“You and [Name].” She laughed. “Since when are you dating him ?”
“Uh.” He brought his right hand to his lips, chewing lightly on his thumb. “We're not… We're- We're not dating.” He said with a nervous chuckle.
“Oh, come on. I've seen the way you look at each other. Like he's some angel coming down from heaven. Don't worry he looks at you the same.”
“W- what ? We don't…” He shook his head. “He's just a friend.”
Gwen raised an eyebrow, clearly amused.
“Do you kiss all your friends on the lips like that ?”
Peter, panicking, continued to laugh nervously.
“We didn't- We just- You saw wrong, it was the angle. It looked like we were kissing but we weren't.”
“Oooh…” She nodded. “That's weird because a lot of angles do that with you two.”
“Ahah… Oh yeah ? Weird. Huh… that's- he's part French. They kiss each other for greetings, he likes… to do that…”
“Oh yeah ? On the lips ?”
“Cheeks ! On the cheeks. It was on the cheeks.”
“Damned angles that made it look like you're kissing him on the lips, am I right ?”
“Yeah, tell me about it.” He frowned with a laugh, throwing back his bag on his shoulders.
“It's cute. You two, I mean. A bit too down bad for each other though, but still.” She said more quietly.
“Ahah yeah we're not- we're still not dating.”
“Oh yeah, right, sorry, my bad. I meant, whatever french thing you two have together.”
“There's no… French thing. Just… friends.” He smiled awkwardly.
“Right, right. Like those friends that end up living together for years. Historians say they were just friends.”
“Gwen…” He shook his head. “There's really nothing.” He laughed. “But I'm starting to believe you want us to be a thing.”
“If you're not a thing already, which I highly doubt with the suspicious French angles, then, yes, just get together already.” She nodded with a smile as Peter sighed, running a hand through his hair.
“We aren't, Gwen. And we won't.” He said, leaving. “Bye !”
“Maybe next time don't kiss in public ! And don't make me take pictures of you two !” She yelled, watching him disappear.
You entered your house and went to your room, planning to finish the book you had started a few days ago. Only for Peter to barge in through the window.
“She knows !” He whispers-yelled, looking at you with big eyes.
“Hi again.” You chuckled. “Who knows what, babe ?” You said, eyes still on your book as you yawned.
“Gwen, about us.”
You immediately closed your mouth, looking at him. You quickly stood up, throwing your book on the bed.
“How does she know ? Did you tell her ?”
“No !” He almost looked offended by your question. “Why would I come here if I did ?”
“Is she spying on us ?” You asked, looking out the window before closing the curtains.
“She saw us kiss. Several times.” He said and you scoffed.
“Wh- what ? Us kissing ? Ah ! Ahah !” You began to laugh
“She's not here.”
“I know I was practicing. Was it good ?”
“You're part French.”
“I'm part what !?”
“It was really good, a bit less disgust in your voice, maybe.”
“I swear to God if I have to raise my grades in French, Peter, you're dead.”

Kalim Al-Asim x Bullied!Fem reader
Tumblr media
Warnings: Verbal bullying and not proofread (Please lmk if I missed smth)
Words: 669
Serious ver. | Crack ver.(You're here!)
Tumblr media
"Y/N is such a bitch." - Random Student A
"I know right!" Random student B says.
"Oh right, have you heard? Apparently Y/N seduced multiple housewardens. Must be why she's so close to them. What a slut."
Random students A and B laugh.
"Hey! Take that back!"
"Huh? And who—” - RS.A
"O-Oh Kalim! Hey there! How's it going?" - RS.B
"Don't pretend like you weren't just talking bad about Y/N! Please take back what you said; none of them were true at all."
“I—” Student B gets cut off by Student A.
"Hm? Whatever could you mean by that, Kalim?"
"You called Y/N names."
"Names? Oh, that? I'm afraid we were simply saying the truth, though. Almost everyone agrees."
"Look, I'm not sure where you heard that, but Y/N is far from what you guys think."
"She's a hard-working, earnest, and sincere person."
"She never seduced anyone."
"She managed to form the connections and friendships she has by communicating with them, helping them, and just being herself."
"And that's why I love her."
Tumblr media
You just got done with your potionology class and were walking towards the cafeteria.
You were about to turn the corner until you heard a familiar voice.
"-nd that's why I love her."
Kalim's voice.
Thud
'Ah, it seems that I really stand no chance'
'He already loves someone else.'
"Hm? Oh! Y/N!"
Panicking, you quickly run away, leaving behind your book that you accidentally dropped. "Hey, wait up! You dropped your book!" Kalim runs after you.
After a bit of running, Kalim eventually caught up to you.
He taps your back and says, "Hey, why'd you run away?"
Sniffle
"H-hey..Are you..Crying?"
"What's wrong?"
You stay silent.
After what felt like an eternity, a different voice spoke up.
"Kalim? Y/N? What are you guys standing in the middle of the corridor? You guys are blocking people's way."
You quickly hide your face in your hands.
Awkwardly, Kalim speaks up, "A-Ah, Jamil, can you please prepare us some food?"
"Mm..Alright. C'mon." Jamil leads the way to the Scarabia mirror.
After Jamil finishes preparing your guys' meals, he turns to leave the room.
Kalim mouths to Jamil, "Thank you."
"Just talk whatever it is out" he mouths back.
Creak
Shut
Tumblr media
Kalim clears his throat. "Y/N. Can you tell me what's wrong?"
"'m tired..I hate this place..The bullying, the overblots, that irresponsible headmage, and my home being taken away from me. I'm tired, Kalim."
Upon hearing this, Kalim engulfs you in a hug.
He doesn't say anything. He just listens attentively.
It felt warm. Like a comfortable blanket embracing you and protecting you from the harsh reality.
After calming down a bit, you move away from the hug.
You felt tempted to lean back into his embrace, but that would be too selfish. It would be unfair to Kalim.
But little do you know that Kalim himself had to stop himself from wrapping you in his arms once again.
"Kalim, I hope you'll be happy with her."
"Her?"
"I mean, the person you love. Obviously, I heard you talking about it earlier." You chuckle, although it sounds strained.
"Hmm, well, I'm always happy with you!"
"Eh?" You pause.
'Did I hear that wrong..?'
"Ahah..I think I heard you wrong, Kalim."
"Heard what wrong? It's true! I'm always happy when I'm together with you!" He gives his signature bright smile that could rival even the sun itself.
'Me..Her..Happy..'
'Wait!'
"Y-you mean me?! You like, no, love me!?" You blush.
"Of course! Who else would I love?"
It was then that you noticed how his eyes seemed to shine so bright; he's looking at you only, all his attention on you, as if nothing else matters right now but you.
"Oh right! Let's eat before the food gets cold!"
"Yeah..!" You turn to the already cold food. 'Oh well, Jamil's food is the best, so I'm sure it still tastes good'
Tumblr media
A while later..
"I didn't expect you to confess so bluntly."
"Hm? Wait, what?"
'..I just basically confessed twice. This is so embarrassing!' He blushes
Tumblr media

AAH! I have an Idea for Grey's Anatomy Mark Sloan x fem reader!
Here is the idea!
Fem reader went into the Military and had to go across seas. Her and Mark haven't seen each other in 10 months and after 10 months reader gets to go back home, but she doesn't tell mark. Instead she asks Derek and Meredith to help her surprise him. So as soon as his shift ends Mere and Derek tell him that they urgently need him for a patient who has a "heart" condition (the condition being she misses him). When Mark gets to the surgical room his girlfriend (reader) is standing in the middle of the room.
lots of fluffy!
❛ 𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 ❜
𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜: Mark Sloan x reader ♡
𝘼/𝙣: Sorry if it took a little long anon, I has some things to do... But I liked so much writing this! And I hope you'll like it too :) Lol the gif I found is perfect ahah
Tumblr media
The first thing you did the morning of your return was call Meredith.
These ten months have felt like an eternity away from all the people you cared about, you missed them all so much. Of course, you loved your job, it made you feel like never before, but the most difficult thing was certainly not having the people you loved most with you.
Meredith was so happy for the news of your return. When you called her, you made sure she didn't tell Mark.
Oh God, that's the only thing you've never stopped thinking about. Every day helped you move forward stronger. It was so sad when you had to leave, it was the only reason you ever wanted to stay. You promised him that you would come back as soon as possible, and finally that day had come.
You planned a surprise that would make him very happy. Meredith and Derek would drive you to the hospital as soon as Mark started his surgery so he wouldn't see you.
All this time he had been just stressing those poor two. He kept insisting that you'd already gotten over him or started a new life with someone else. In short, it had become completely unbearable. But that meant that someone had finally really made him fall in love, and that someone was you.
After you got a text from Derek that they were on their way, you started getting ready. You took your sexiest dress out of your closet and put it on. It wasn't actually an over top dress, but he loved the effect it had on you.
You put the lipstick and a little makeup, not too much, but enough to make you even more presentable, and gave your hair a little touch-up.
"Damn, I look hot!" you said looking in the mirror.
You smiled at your reflection, grabbed your things, and walked over to Derek's car.
You got in sitting on the back seats.
"Hey, you're really-"
"Yes yes, now- just go!" you said interrupting Meredith and rushing Derek to leave. Oh, you couldn't wait to see him.
"So Mark won't see me?" you asked one last time to be sure before getting out of the car.
"No, he's finishing his surgery. We have booked another operating room, no one else will be able to use it, and later Meredith will call him and tell him that there will be another urgent case that we need him" you smiled and hugged both of them.
"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" they laughed.
"Well, go!" Meredith said smiling at you. You went out greeting and thanking them, and ran towards the hospital entrance. You went looking for the hall and entered.
You sat on the operating table, waiting. Wow, it was strange to be in an empty and silent operating room. Almost creepy...
"What's happening?!" you heard Mark's voice, he seemed confused not understanding what Meredith wanted to tell him. Then you saw him. And he saw you.
You stood up as he stood in front of you in the sink area. He took off his scrub cap and immediately entered the room.
"Mark-" you didn't even have time to smile at him or finish the sentence that the first thing he did as soon as he was in front of you was kissing you. It was a long kiss, and it was so intense that it was as if there was nothing for you anymore. He put his hands in your hair as you put your arms around his neck.
Neither of you could have ended that moment, but a few minutes later you snapped back to reality.
You opened your eyes smiling at him.
"Please just tell me that this isn't a dream cause you appeared here like a Godness..." his smile widened even more and his tone was still incredulous. "Well I've already dreamed you some nights ago..." He added making you laugh.
"It's everything real" you gave him another little kiss.
"When did you arrive?"
"This morning, I couldn't wait to see you" you said looking into his light blue eyes.
"Meredith knew it and didn't tell me?! Wait, you didn't tell me!" he said in a slightly offended tone still laughing as he put his hands on your hips bringing you closer to him.
"I wanted to surprise you"
"God, how much I love you" he hugged you picking you up, making you put your legs around his waist, and he started kissing you again.
"I love you too, and I missed you so much" you stopped the kiss to tell him.
"I don't know how I've been without you all these days" He made you on the table and took a moment to look at you better, sweeping his gaze up and down your entire body. "And you're hotter than I remembered..." you laughed shaking your head.
"I don't want you to leave me alone all this time anymore" he said caressing your cheek.
"You know I'm part of the military, there will be other departures..." just the thought saddened him.
"Ok, it means that I'll have to enjoy every single moment with you..." he moved closer to you holding you and placing his lips against yours again, always in a passionate and pleasant way. You loved him so much, every second of this moment and every time you were together was precious.

OC Interview Questions: Valerie Rose Barrère
Tagged by @ghostoffuturespast thank you! Love these little games and writing practices. Also needed to think how my V would actually answer these questions...
Tumblr media
[Mama Welles' on a Saturday night.]
V (reading a book on the couch with her feet up): "What are you two giggling about over there? It's suspicious and I don't like it." Misty (cuddling with Jackie on the opposite end of the couch): "Oh, we decided to make you a dating profile." V (initial confusion followed by a bit of rage): "A dat… The fuck?" Jackie (with the laptop): "You need some action, hermana." V: "No. Absolutely not. Delete that shit right now." [Jackie gives V his best puppy dog eyes.] V (waiting a moment): "Uggh. Fine… I'm gonna regret this." Jackie: "Heh, wasn't actually sure that was gonna work." (straightening himself out to look more serious) "Nickname?" [V gives Jackie a bombastic side eye.] Jackie: "Oh right!" (Types the letter as he says it) "V." Misty: "Height?" V: "5ft 3in." Jackie: "Gender?" V: "Seriously, Jack?" Jackie: "What? I don't want to assume." V (sighing, realizing he has a valid point): "Sure. Female." Misty: "Orientation?" V: "Straight I guess?" Jackie: "Nationality and… or… ethnicity?" V: "Uhh, my mother was Scottish/French and I think she said something about my father being Finnish. Anyways, born and raised in Heywood." Jackie (speaking the words slowly as he typed his version): "White. Very white. Heywood born and bred." Misty: "Star sign? I know this one already. Sagittarius." [Updating to Libra - forgot it's actually been official, and I stick with a lot of canon] Jackie: "Favorite fruit?" V: "Honeydew melon." Misty: "Favorite season? Autumn, right?" V: "You got it." Jackie (using his most delicate voice): "Favorite flower?" V (sharply): "Snapdragons." Misty: "Your favorite scent?" V: "Oh man… I have so many… cedarwood, jasmine, sandalwood, bergamot, books…" [Misty nods in agreement, thinking of her favorite incense in the shop.] Jackie: "Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?" V: "Tea usually. I'm… selective when it comes to coffee." Jackie (types and mutters): "Psh. I'll say. Can never bring you coffee anymore." Misty: "Average hours of sleep?" V: "9 to 10. I get cranky with less." Jackie: "You sure do." V (annoyed, raised voice): "Do you want me to finish these questions or not Jackie?" Jackie (puts his hands up in surrender): "Alright alright… I take it you didn't get your beauty sleep… princess." [V punches Jackie pretty hard in the arm.] Jackie (rolling over holding his bruised arm, laughing): "Oww…ahah… oww. Heh." V: "Misty, if you'd please take the rest of the questions… unless you want to drag an oversized bodybag out the door." [Jackie flashes V a stupid grin.] Misty: "Dog or cat person?" V: "Hmm… It feels like cheating to say both. Maybe I lean towards dogs. It's been awhile since I've seen one though." Misty: "Dream trip?" V: "Europe maybe? I don't know if there's anything left of my parents over there but I guess I'm curious." Misty: "I'd love to go back to Poland one day. Favorite fictional character?" V: "Probably… Edmond Dantes from The Count of Monte Cristo. It was one of my mom's favorites." Misty: "Number of blankets you sleep with?" V: "Zero or one… It's just too damn hot." Misty: "Aaand last one." V: "Oh thank god." Misty: "A fun fact?" V: "Uhhh. I guess… I enjoy retro video games?" Misty: "OK. Published." V: "Now will you two leave me be?" [bing.] Jackie (throwing himself at the computer): "Ooh! Look! Matches already, chica!" V (snatching the computer out of Jackie's hands): "Wait what? Lemme see." [V scrolls a bit, the reflection of the screen lighting up her face in the dark room.] V: "No. Noo. Definitely not. No." Jackie (takes the computer back): "Lemme take a look… I'll find you someone... Here! This guy looks promising, huh?" (excitedly turns the screen to face V.) V: "Oh. Damn. Lemme take a closer look… Nah. What a damn shame. He's NCPD."

Hi I saw you were doing matchups so I wanted to you try it out lol!
So some basic stuff I go by Aj I’m a trans guy who uses he/they pronouns, while I do have a small preference to girls or well just anyone falling under a feminine label I am open to about anyone! I want the matchup to be romantic and would prefer Husk and Angel to be excluded (I picture Husk as a father and I ship him and angel so be kinda weird lol)
For personality and what not I’m similar to Niffty in the whole absolutely chaotic kinda way but only with the people I know and trust, I’m very kind and while I’ll jokingly make fun of people I make sure they’re okay with it and aren’t actually uncomfortable. At first I’m very quiet and reserved (at most one or two comments) but after opening up it’s hard to get me to stop talking lol I’m also very sarcastic and make a lot of dirty jokes. Likes and dislikes is kinda hard, I like collecting plushies like a lot I could be compared to the “weird kid” (I love fnaf, batim, Beetlejuice, tadc, a lot more) I will say I absolutely love like physical touch and what not though I hate asking for things or starting something. My hobbies mainly include making art and what not I focus on visual art though I do like writing and acting a lot as well, I also love picking something up like a book or movie and just never finishing it lol! Tbh I don’t really have a type besides “sad but bad boy” and even then that’s not really a type lol. But yeah I uh think that’s it have an amazing day/night!
Hey Aj! Thank you for requesting a matchup! We have something in common, I also have the tendency to pick up things and never finishing them ahah; anyway!
A hug is coming your way, as I match you with...
Charlie!
Tumblr media
Charlie is sunny, optimistic, and just the right person who would allow you to come out of your initial shell. She loves both your kindness and how chaotic you are, and I’m sure she would be very proud of herself for being able to let you open up quickly and witness your true personality; she loves a talkative and affectionate friend, even more so if they end up becoming her partner.
I’m sure she wouldn’t mind your sarcasm at all either, as long as you don’t get too rude with her; she chuckles at your jokes a lot and sometimes tries to be sarcastic back, resulting in her stammering on her words slightly as she admittedly isn’t the best at this kind of thing. It’s endearing to you though, really, and you reassure her that she doesn’t need to match your personality all the time, you find her lovely as she is – her eyes sparkle at that, finding you very romantic -.
She absolutely loves the fact that you like collecting plushies, in fact she’s a big fan of them herself! She insists on giving a name to each one of them, and if they already have one she wants to know the story behind them at all costs. She also surprises you with one of them from time to time, I feel like she would be at least a bit into gift-giving, and when you inevitably end up sleeping in the same bed she doesn’t want to exclude any of your plushies, resulting in you two sleeping completely surrounded by them!
Charlie is quite the creative person herself, in her own way: she likes musicals and singing, so if the things you’re into have some sort of fan songs or anything like that, she would enjoy learning them and getting into your own interests in general. She also loves anything that you make and showers you in compliments each time you show her one of your creations, which makes you blush a little. She also insists on showing the other residents of the Hotel, but it’s up to you if you want to do that or not, she totally understands if you’d rather keep your art private and in that case she’d feel honoured to be one of the lucky ones who gets to see it.
She encourages you to finish the things you start watching or reading, too! Mostly because she loves doing these activities with you, and she really wants to know what happens at the end...but she also feels guilty finishing them on her own, so if you’re looking for somebody who keeps you excited and entertained when you get into anything, she’s the right demon!
She’s also quite affectionate, hugging you, holding your hand and kissing your cheek whenever she gets the chance, so she doesn’t really mind that you’re not into initiating these kind of things as she will do it herself, as long as you let her know you enjoy it!
All in all you and Charlie definitely have a best friends to lovers kind of relationship, and if you’re wondering how this affects Vaggie (in case you’d be comfortable being in a poly relationship) I can actually see you two being on good terms, she agrees with you and Charlie dating wholeheartedly as I see you two getting along quite well, too!

When my notebook was finished, my mother brought me another one, but most of the sheets were not stapled and I did not even have a normal notebook
If they had kept me there longer, then I would have gone crazy because of muz TV because there are the same pop songs, I hate pop, it would be fine if Lady Gaga was included, this is the only pop that I like
Although it would be strange if Goth music was turned on on TV, even if the most popular Goth bands like siouxsie and the banshees, london after midnight, sisters of mercy, the cure, molchat doma
Like Gothic music is an underground in itself
So what was I talking about oh yes, it's crazy, I probably would have painted on books out of desperation already ahah
Just kidding.

Hakuoki Character Drama CD Book Vol 4 - Okita
it should be obvious, but i finally got my switch fixed hahaha!
also, i kinda want to complain that there was no cg with sen, kikuzuki, shiranui or amagiri (one of these days, i wish there was one with just shiranui and one with just amagiri)... also kaoru and nakaoka made no appearances in Tenun no Shou.  
Hakuoki Drama CD Book Vol 4 Okita Souji-hen - Sunny Day
Translation by KumoriYami
Act 1:
Time: Noon
Location: Where Okita and Chizuru are living together
SE: the sounds of birds
Yukimura:....Alright, that's finished drying.
Okita: Oh, are you finally done?
Yukimura:...Souji-san. When did you start standing over there?
Okita: I was standing here and watching you for while. However, you didn't notice me at all.
Yukimura: Um... Souji-san, you're not upset, are you?
Okita: Oh... rather than being upset, I'm feel saddened. Alright, quickly come here
SE: the sound of Chizuru walking
SE: the sound of Chizuru sitting down next (to Souji)
Yukimura: Sorry, I was busy with drying clothes just now...
Okita: You don't need to apologise. Anyway, I like seeing you be busy.
Yukimura: Souji-san...
Okita: Ahaha, you really haven't changed. When I said something similar before, you responded in the same way
Yukimura: Something similar...? When did that happen?
Okita: You don't remember?  Every time I see you hanging clothes like that, I think of then
Yukimura: I'm sorry, Souji-san often speaks to me while I'm hanging out the clothes, so I don't know which time you're talking about
Okita: You're not causing trouble, are you? It's rare for you to be like this... Hey, turn your head around
Yukimura; Then, can you tell me about what happened before?
Okita: Well, I'll tell you. It's one of the countless memories the two of us share——
--------
Act 2
Time;  Noon
Location: Inside a courtyard at headquarters
Okita (narrated): that day, like today, was a beautiful day. You were drying clothes in the courtyard at headquarters, and I was sitting on the porch talking to you——
Yukimura:....Ugh.
Okita: You've already sighed so much, why don't you just leave it out to dry?
Yukimura: Ah... Okita-san! Um, sorry! When were you standing there!?
Okita: I wasn't here for long.  I was definitely watching you without you even noticing, which I think it is really interesting
Yukimura: So-Sorry
Okita: It's fine. As for your sigh just now, it was really drawn out. Since you dislike dirty clothes so much, don't wash them. Or who forced you into doing it?
Yukimura; No! I don't hate doing laundry, I'm simply going to relax after doing a part of it, and I'm not doing this reluctantly
Okita: Pfft, ahahahahahaha
Yukimura: Eh, eh, eh?......Um, Okita-san? Why are you laughing?
Okita: Sorry, sorry. Even from you, I didn't expect you to take this so seriously.
Yukimura: Could it be that ...... you're teasing me?
Okita: I'm not teasing you. I'm seriously asking this.
Yukimura:.....Eh?
Okita: Why are you doing the laundry? You stayed here for a reason... No, it should be said that you didn't escape for that reason. You also haven't been forced into doing this, so why have you taken the initiative to wash clothes, clean and cook? Do you like doing housework? Or do you want prove that you're working hard by helping out?
Yukimura: I didn't think so...
Okita: Or were you thinking that as long as if you act as if you were hard, that you won't be killed?
Yukimura: It's not like that.... I wasn't...
Okita:...? If there's a reason, let me know, I won't get angry.
Yukimura:...Everyone in the Shinsengumi has their own work to do, while they're simultaneously still helping me look for my father. Since this is all I can do... I at least wanted to help out around headquarters.
Okita: Eh... Since you insist on saying that, then you can do as you please
Yukimura;....Excuse me!
SE: sound of Chizuru leaving
Okta: Ahah——. She angrily walked away...
Okita (narrated): Hey, do you remember now? I didn't go after you, because I didn't feel anything for you at that time, and just found an excuse to make fun of/tease you as I had nothing to do then.
-------- Act 3
Time: Noon
Location: Courtyard at headquarters
Okita (narrated): The next day I went to the courtyard again, where you were doing the laundry again like yesterday. So I did the same thing again, and tried to tease you.
SE: Sound of Okita's footsteps
Okita: Are you feeling reluctant/unwilling today?
Yukimura: I'm not feeling reluctant
Okita: Areh. Are you still angry about yesterday?
Yukimura: I'm not upset!
Okita: As expected you were upset. Since you're upset, I won't do it again? I can do the laundry and won't be inconvenienced if you don't. Just say if you hate it, (and if you do?) why don't you just stay in your room?
Yukimura: Okita-san came to do this... Are you talking about chores like doing laundry at headquarters and so on, here in Kyoto?
Okita;...What's wrong with that/What's wrong?
Yukimura: Uh.... that... sorry. I said something unnecessary.
Okita; I'm asking you, what's wrong with that?
Yukimura:...Everyone in Shinsengumi all have to work to maintain the security of Kyoto. That's something I can't do. That's why, while I'm at headquarters, I at least want to do what I can  so that everyone else can focus on their work and rest when they normally can... I hope that Okita-san spend his time on doing things that only you can do in Kyoto.
Okita: Something that only I can do in Kyoto...?
Yukimura: Yes. Okita-san has something that only Okita-san can do.... um.... that, I'm sorry, I'll be leaving first!
Okita: It's fine, let's continue
Yukimura: Eh.... but...
Okita: Haven't the clothes been washed yet?  You're not going to continue?
Yukimura: That's true... but doesn't Okita-san mind how I often do housework?
Okita: Well, that was true at the beginning. After seeing how you lived here, you were often occupied with doing the laundry, cleaning and cooking, and I thought about why you worked so hard. I thought it was just you acting that way so you could stay here, but as you said just now, there are things that only I can do in Kyoto... Nn, that impressed me a bit. I'm here for in Kyoto for Kondou-san and the Shinsengumi. Which is why I will whatever it is for Kondou-san, as long as it benefits him.
Yukimura:....Okita-san
Okita: That's why, I can understand your way of thinking, or what you want to say.  So that we can focus on doing what we should be doing... ? Hm, not bad. I always feel as if I'm starting to like you.
Yukimura:...Huh? That, um, that should just be s a joke right?
Okita: I'm not joking, and I'm also not teasing you?
Yukimura: But this, um... As expected, you're making fun of me again!
Okita:...Since you insist on thinking that way, then that must be the case?
Yukimura: Right, as expected, it was like that. I-I'm going to finish washing the clothes, please don't bother me anymore.
Okita: Yes yes yes. Then, I'll go do things that only I can do. You can continue finishing doing what you can do..... please.
Yukimura: Okita-san.... Yes! I'll do my best!
Okita: See you later then
SE: the sound of Okita leaving
Okita (narrated): r): Even if I didn't accompany you later, I think that incident would have also become one of my precious memories. That day, we had a conversation in the courtyard at headquarters.... I will never forget what you said and that feeling, even for a moment...
-------- Act 4
Time: Noon
Location: Where Okita and Chizuru are living together
Okita: And that's the end of the memory about doing laundry. So, what do you think?
Yukimura:...I remember. I'm very sorry for saying something so arrogant then.
Okita: No need to apologize, since at that time, you taught me something important. Which is why I'm I'm also very grateful to you now, as it's a very important memory for me
Yukimura: Souji-san...
Okita: However, that was only one part of the story. I still have a lot more I want to tell you.... but I'm tired of talking for today, so  you can talk about the memories you want to share with me next time
Yukimiura: Eh, me? Oh...
Okita: Areh? Don't tell me you can't think of a single thing?
Yukimura; No. Just the opposite, there are so many things so I don't know what to bring up...
Okita: Ah, in that case, can I order choose what I want to hear about?
Yukimura: What do you want to hear?
Okita:  I want to know what was the reason you fell in love with me in the first place
Yukimura: Th-That.... it should be said that it was naturally...
Okita: Eh, isn't that completely boring? Well, forget it. Then tell me about all of the memories that are special to you.
Chizuru Yukimura: ... I can't finish all the words I said in a day today, right?
Yukimura:....I won't be able to finish saying everything about them today?
Okita: That's fine. If it takes a few days, no, it doesn't matter if it takes a few years. I want to know about all of the memories you cherish.
Yukimura: hehe, I know. But, Souji-san also has to speak about them.
Okita: Nn, fine... Speaking of which, are you done everything that needs to be done for the day?
Yukimura: Yes
Okita: Then, let's go to Nohara [野原 if I get that wrong... oh well? I checked a few mtls and only one suggested "wilderness"], where you often go. Let me listen to you to talk about your memories there.
Yukimura: Okay, I understand. Then I'll go prepare now.
Okita: Nn.
SE: Sound of Chizuru leaving
Okita:...It's a truly beautiful day today.
Okita (narrated): What happened today will definitely be easy to remember. This beautiful sky, the warm sunshine, her each and every moment.... all of it will have to be kept in mind——one day, inevitably, there will be a day where she will have to reminisce about the two of us together as I do today... [for this last part... I had to make assumptions since there's no subject aside from "her"]
Starring: Okita Souji.... Morikubo Showtaro

I'm a chapter into A Ballad of songbirds and snakes, and it's so good already. I'm a little surprised it's not in first person anymore but I prefer it this way
I don't have much of an opinion on Snow yet but it's interesting to see his upbringing, quite different from what I imagined
The most compelling thing to me is how the Capitol people are described, quite different from what we saw in the main trilogy: we see how they've been affected by the war and they're def not as lavish and shallow as their descendants. You almost understand why they built the Hunger games ahah
I'm sold already, I'm finishing this book. It's fun to have something new THG related after rereading the trilogy
And OF COURSE the person he is going to mentor is a girl from District 12. Peak fiction

are there any specific fanfics you're planning to bind?
GOOD QUESTION. i used to have a lot of plans with my favorite fics but im not really into dsmp/dteam anymore for. various reasons that i will not get into :|. and so most of my plans with fan binding fell to the wayside jhgbfhdjbhjd thats okay though!! because it means i can make new plans!!
obviously, like i said - i would love to do a collection of shorter one shots! still mostly dsmp lol but i got quite a few gift fics from my friends from that fandom and i would LOVE to compile those into a collection for myself!! really just. my friends' fics in general, i think would be fun to have like a short story collection that i can just read whenever. i would wanna break them up into individual fandoms, i could almost do like, a series for myself... that would be AWESOME oh my god. matching covers but with different inner art? SO COOL
if i had to make a plan off the top of my head for just ONE fic though... id love to bind elephants by saltsanford, a rvb tuckington fic (not linking since it IS an explicit fic haha), its been one of my favorite fics ever for YEARS now. i think that would be pretty minimalist since it has an aesthetic of like, snow? and id want to fit that lol but its SO GOOD and i love to read it and id love to have a pristine physical copy of it on my book shelf!!
FOR DNDADS FICS. chrysalis by @kaseyskat, probably!!! literally has been one of my favorite dndads fic ever since i read it, i come back to it so often. it was my introduction to the world of transfem sparrow (and transmasc norm, though i had already decided that for myself LMAO) and well. we all know that i love her <3 very fond memories of rereading this fic several times to get through my thesis LMAO i would love love love to make myself a physical copy of it :D i could use really pretty paper and i think it would fit a nice green book cloth cover SOOOO nicely. itd be amazing (especially now that nyx and i are friends. makes it even more special, ehehe).
alternatively, father-son grocery shopping which I JUST REALIZED WAS WRITTEN BY @trustycustard??? MY FRIEND AND GRAMPA TRUSTY??? HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THAT. HUH. WHAT. I WAS GONNA LIST THAT FOR AN EXAMPLE BY A DNDADS WRITER IM NOT BUDDIES WITH BUT NEVERMIND I GUESS 😭😭 whatever im playing favorites I WOULD BIND MY FRIENDS' FICS!!! sorry for being surrounded by such amazing and talented people.
and once its finished (/if!!! i dont like the idea of pressuring fic writers to finish their works, god knows i never do), absolutely silver linings by chalcedony. even if it doesnt get finished, honestly. i dont make it a secret that it is my all time favorite dndads fic ahah THERE. EXAMPLE FROM SOMEONE IM NOT FRIENDS WITH i dont ALWAYS play favorites. just most of the time.

Top 5 favorite video games
Gonna rate these as a combo of personal enjoyment, challenge, and nostalgia. Honestly, I'm not a HUGE gamer beyond the few things I've gotten fixated upon, so a lot of my titles are pretty basic.
5) Stardew Valley- A more recent addition to the list, since I've only started playing this in earnest fairly recently, but it's already given me so much enjoyment that I have to give it a spot. Endlessly full of life and lore when you dig into it. Very relaxing.
4) Portal 2- This game gave me some of the biggest laughs I've ever gotten out of anything from this medium- and probably one of the greatest "o h" moments of realizations I've ever had while working through a boss battle... folks who have played this game, you know what I'm talking about, ahah. (Also, J.K. Simmons my beloved <3)
3) Super Mario Galaxy- If I knew what fandom was when I was in third/fourth grade, then this game would've been my first true fandom hyperfixation. There was a point in time where I had the guide book for this game entirely memorized. This was the first game that I was able to beat completely by myself when I was a kid, and also the first game that I (more recently, when the All Stars Mario gamepack came out for the Switch) played to 100%, which is neat. Playing as both Mario AND Luigi. (I later went on to 100% the next title on the list, which is-)
2) The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild- An obvious choice for my list! I only discovered this game in 2020, but it has quickly become one of my favorites, and I inevitably end up replaying it every few months. I've done the 100% game file once (which, yes, means finding all the korok seeds), and my god... it was such a satisfying journey to reach that goal! The characters and story within this game bring me so much joy every day, and I am so deeply thankful for all the amazing friends I've met through our mutual love of LoZ. <3
BUT, because of the sheer nostalgia factor, I must say that my all-time favorite game is:
1) Blinx: The Time Sweeper- A seriously slept upon classic. Probably one of the most difficult games I've played, EVER. I haven't even finished the entire thing by myself- the boss rush at the very end is so brutal I haven't gotten through it yet. As a kid, I had to get my mother's help on the rush before working through the FINAL boss on my own. But g o d... the music in this game slaps so hard, and it has some of the most interesting mechanics and puzzles I've ever seen in a game, even still. This game infested my thoughts for so long when I was a kid, to the point where I was outright drawing my own OCs for the world and coming up with fanfiction in my head before I knew what fanfiction even was. The concepts were just so rife for the imagination that it was hard to resist bouncing around with le' brain worms XD
Please do me a favor of vibing with this seriously cool as balls music, though, because holy SHIT it's such a bop-
youtube
youtube
(Aaaaand the boss music that STILL makes my shoulders seize up with anxiety- the final, FINAL boss is so GODDAMN HARD)

toff!! toffee!!! that gif is an accurate presentation of what i experienced last night when i was juuuust about to go to sleep and then got ur ask AHAHHA anyways, sorry for such a late response!! had to do some stuff this morn <//3
[ send me book rec asks! ]
1. a book that is close to your heart
the perks of being a wallflower by stephen chbosky &lt;3
9. your favourite book of 2020
of 2020?? defs chain of gold by cassandra clare. why, you ask? idk im just a bitch for the shadowhunter books 💀💀 nah jokes there are defs reasons, but me already being in love w the shadowhunter universe definitely plays a major part. ummm fav book of 2022 ?? on earth, maybe. it's not a '22 book but i didnt read it until this year i think. tbh i'm not sure when i read it AHHA (i just know i havent read much this year sigh)
18. your least favourite book ever
i... don't know. if i dont like a book i dont tend to finish it? but i easily get invested in and love the media i consume so there's none i would consider my 'least favourite'.. even the ones we read in school, i found something to love about them. but, uh. city of bones is always very difficult to reread. can't ever really do it. i tend to just skip it HAHAHA
66. a book that fucked you up
on earth, but not in a bad way. and the perks of being a wallflower as well, but in a different way as well. i fell like if i read a little life it'll probably be here HAHAHA. OH WAIT OH WAIT release by patrick ness. i??? i dont remember why i bought it but i know that i got to some scenes that i was not expecting and it made me really??? confused and uncofmortable at the time, but i don't remember why.
92. a book about a redeemable villain
i.. am going to tentatively say dark rise by c.s.pacat. the more i think about it the more i think it counts, but i dont wanna spoil anything so... anyways 10/10 rec this book/series.
99. a book with a strong female protagonist
the last hours trilogy, my beloved, by cassandra clare. cordelia carstairs <3 <3 <3 BUT UH too many shadowhunter books so uh instead. throne of glass series by sarah j. maas! not only the main protag, but also lysandra ! defs grew on me.
102. your favourite dark academia read
UHHHHHHHH off the top of my head u cant think of anything that actually fits the da genre/aes, but i have the atlas six on my to be potentially read list?? wait. idk if the his dark materials trilogy by philp pullman counts as DA but if it does... yes.
121. a book that makes you nostalgic
pjo/hoo by rick riordan, guardians of ga'hoole by kathryn lasky, his dark materials by philip pullman. nostalgic bc i read them all in primary/middle school ig lol . ih and ofc, harry potter.
135. recommend any book you like
urusla k. le guin's the left hand of darkness!! it's scifi (and fantasy?? idk) and there's a lot of world building and new terms that can be really confusing (but there are a multitude of lists online w the different terms and definiitions) but the concept and the ideas/social commentary is >>> it was one of my favourite texts to study in school, and now that i'm older and have studied it, i really want to reread it again! (it was a yr12 lit text so.. i'm not really that much older but still AHAH)

hello! do you have a link to your captive prinve fic? I've been scrolling ur page and can't find anything ahah
okay so yes, u can find it here
but please be careful w captive prince, i do not recommend reading this if you haven’t read the original books and don’t know what you’re getting into! also, as much as i love the series, i don’t recommend it to people just because of the first book. i almost stopped reading after i finished the first book because it made me feel physically ill and i have very mixed feelings about it to this day 🙃 again, i am not recommending the series to those not already familiar; if you are deciding whether to read the books for the first time please please please look up trigger warnings first

Does that mean you looked for my message first thing in the morning ?? How sweet 🍓
I wasnt a big fan of literature myself or… I was, I don’t really have much recollection of my childhood if I’m being honest. Lolita is such a misunderstood book and the publishers don’t make it any better with they hyper sexualized covers of little girls, it truly disgusts me- It’s funny you mentioned this book because I talked about it the other day,, I know how vicious children can be, especially if they’ve been raised to think that difference is a synonym of enemy. I really hope she’s doing better today, she sounds like an extraordinary person ! To get inspired is to construct one’s self so, I’m glad you crossed paths with someone like her !
That book you’re reading sounds lovely ! I’ll try to look into it, I’m always looking for new things to read ! It makes me so happy to find a fellow Emily Brönte lover- Jane Eyre was great, certainly, but Emily’s art is much more tortuous and daring than her sister’s work which I always greatly appreciated 🍓 And you like Edgar Allan Poe and Oscar Wilde on top of that ? I have read the Picture of Dorian Gray in both English and French more than five times already, maybe I’m a bit obsessed 😭 I also was lucky enough to find one of the first editions in a small library once ! It was also really cheap, I couldn’t believe I was able to get my hands on such a treasured item for so cheap !!
I feel like my letters just get longer and longer haha !! That’s very interesting to know, you seem to have quite the entourage ! What do you study exactly ? I hope you enjoy the music I recommended to you 🍓 I’m currently sitting at a cafe before class, rethinking my entire life because I slipped on the hallway tiles, broke my umbrella and almost stabbed my eye with it then spent 15 minutes looking for my keys under the rain afterwards- Talk about being a clown really-
I Hope you slept well ! 🍓
When I get up I always check if someone sent me something but I usually reply after some hours, I enjoy to take care of myself and then come back ahah. I’m foolish I know.
I completely agree about recent book covers of Lolita, the first time I got that book I was so embarrassed of seeing such sexual acts. I immediately understood why all copies are still closed in plastic. The thing that makes me sad is the fact that this book is extremely infamous but it’s a piece of work in so many senses. I loved the writing style and the moments of how Lolita/Dolores was described by the protagonist. It's scandalous, grotesque, and it's a story that even today some people can relate to some extent. Isn't it the exact reason of why this book is still iconic and actual? Nabukov's intent was well portrayed. I hated it from the core. Oscar Wilde was such an iconic dandy and loved all his writings, really. The profundis have a special place in my heart. I never read an author so similar to me in so many ways and I feel less lonely in this ocean of my how struggles, blackouts. I’m jealous of the fact that you managed to get a 1st edition of the picture of Dorian Gray. Just how you even managed to do that? THAT’S INSANE. You basically have a saint grail in your collection. If you have some pictures I’d appreciate to see them very much.
Don’t worry if you write too much, I prefer to get long asks more than anything else. I’m in fact into penpalling. I’m a bit old fashioned, yes, it’s such an amazing hobby to freeze the brain. I’m studying game concept art. At first I liked it but I’m quite antisocial and talking to people isn’t exactly my forte, but I’m trying to improve and at least I can still work despite not being a talker. But at least I can submit my art assignment and receive opinions on it without too much trouble. I can’t wait to finish. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy what I’m doing but I don’t particularly enjoy to work in the art industry. I prefer to draw for myself when I have time - never. At the moment I just came back at home, I was out and managed to read a bit and now I’m trying to sort out what to take with me for the trip. Sending good luck to you, you definitely need some! Sorry but I laughed reading that you broke your umbrella. I hope you managed to find a new one. One day someone stole mine when I was in a comic shop. I have bad luck.

Hi! Same anon from a long while ago who first asked about the Boromir fic and got that “dissertation” in return! You’ve got me in the mood to try to pick up the books again after catching up on the fic (I figured to wait a couple updates so I’d have more to read, but boy did I catch up fast :’) pretty much did just as the 16th landed) though I have not just yet.
But I am gonna try to watch the movies very soon! I’m very excited to experience Middle Earth through an OC lense, as I have quite not full time just yet. You’re one of my favorite authors, so I’m gonna be around for it fully AKDJAKS. I admire your tenacity, a tenth walker fic writing wise is so daunting to me. But I know you’ll be able to do it quite well, you’ve already caught me fully :)
Aaaa okay I finally have the chance to sit down and reply to this part properly -- thank you so much! The concept of being among someone's favourite writers is absolutely wild to me, but genuinely one of the highest compliments you could give me ahah, so that's going to have me smiling for the rest of the month. I'm rereading the books as I write, although I'm very far ahead in the books, currently at Helm's Deep, mostly highlighting bits of dialogue that would work for me to slip into the movie-verse.
But yeaaah, honestly it's daunting to me too! May or may not have had a little bit of a panic about the whole thing literally just last night 😎 the thing is, though, I'd never panicked so much over a project as I did with CTW and that ended up working out well, so I'm definitely learning that fear is a good indicator with these things. (And hopefully that bodes well for the novel, bc I'm terrified of that fucker). Doing it scared honestly adds to the pride of the finished product, I think. The ones where I go in thinking it'll be easy always end up crap and then abandoned.
It very much helps having the movies and the books to choose between, too - mostly because if I only had the books to go from, I'd never have been daft enough to try it 🥲
Thank you again! I'm so glad you're enjoying it so far! 💜

Ask Answers: July 10th
I really let asks get away from me lately. I was super focused on working on that Patreon Moment. With that done I can finally think about doing other things, so here’s a new collection of answers!
Thank you for sending in questions everyone ^^.
For the new Patreon moment, will you be able to reference it in step 4? Or just like a tiny nod to it if you pick certain choices?
There won’t be. I’m sorry if you were hoping for that! The Patreon moment is meant to be entirely optional, it’s not something that gets you extra content in the main game.
Is the new CG artist the main one now? :0 I’ve noticed theres been a difference in the art style recently. Is the old CG artist still going to make art for the game? :0
The original artist still makes CGs for the game sometimes, but he mainly focuses on character sprites.
Are you going to put the NSFW our life moment on a website other than patreon? I would love to get it but I can't use patreon atm.
I don’t know. I'm afraid we can't release the Patreon Moment on a normal game storefront because we can't mix 18+ content with our family friendly game. If there's some other place similar to Patreon where it's not the normal type of full-scale public content releases we'd consider using that, but I’m not sure if there is another site that’s better than Patreon in that regard. I'm sorry.
Out of curiosity, in all of your games so far, which characters in each were the most fun to write? They obviously don't have to be your favorite characters!
Buffalo Seer in AFA, really everyone in XOD/XOBD is pretty equally entertaining to write, The Guide in LoV, and Cove in OL!
idk if you accept "personal" questions, but is there anything you've been watching/ listening to lately
Mostly, I’ve been watching/listening to Authortube videos as of late! It’s people who talk generally about the process of how books become traditionally published and/or share their own experience as they attempt to be published. I don’t have an interest in writing normal text based books, but it’s really interesting to hear about that world. I’m listening to a video about royalties right now as I answer these asks.
Will one of the desserts we get to pick be fudge? That'd be such a cute reference! 
Haha, yeah, it should. Unless I completely blank on it and forget when trying to include the various referential food options.
I don't know if this has been asked previously but what would be the approximate heights for the presets MC can choose from Step 2 ~ 4? Are there any measurement you had in mind? Sorry if I didn't make myself clear kk I've been struggling with my English lately 💀 
I don’t know, ahah. I didn’t have any numbers in mind for that. So it’s whatever you imagine it is!
I noticed a bug with the Patreon moment when it comes to what your character wears. When Jamie and Cove are kissing while my character only had dresses selected, I had both the option to remove the dress or to remove the shirt... Picking one of the options to interact with Cove, after he removed his shirt, it had Jamie remove their shirt followed by ther pants despite only having dresses picked. 
Thank you for reporting ^^
I keep refreshing steam to see when the new doc for xobd will be released. I noticed you haven't posted anything about it in quite some time. Would it be possible to ask about a timeline/potential date? (If it's even this year—) I know you and your team are probably working super hard, I'm just super curious! ~Thank you!~ 
There are more stories done, I just haven’t gotten around to publicly releasing them. Hopefully I will have a chance to spend the time on that sooner rather than later!
hello!! i’m not sure if it’s an update but i’ve just replayed our life and at the end i can’t propose to cove anymore? :(( i’ve actually tried playing twice but the options are not there anymore, did you guys remove the options? i’m sorry if you’ve answered this before!! thank you and have a good one :) 
I’m afraid things haven’t been changed or removed, so I think you might’ve accidentally picked the wrong things somewhere along the way and locked yourself out of being able to propose by mistake. Sometimes you meant to say you want to get married but instead you mis-click and have it so the MC isn’t thinking about marriage or something. All I can suggest is starting from the beginning of Step 3 and making sure to follow the steps listed in the FAQ. I’m sorry for that.
Did yall remove some of the options for when youre making out with Cove in the charity moment? I could've sworn you could grab his bonkadonk and its not there anymore 
This is the same situation as the above. We didn’t remove things and you’re not wrong that there are sometimes those options. But there are various choices you have to make to get those options and it sounds like you accidentally missed something. If your relationship isn’t long-term, you can’t do it for example.
HI IM SO EXCITED I CAN FINALLY GET THE STEP 3 DLC 
Thank you for getting it!
Is Shiloh super totally straight bc I’m very gay and a huge Shiloh fan, would my man make an exception?😩
Sadly, he is one of our super straight characters. I’m sorry.
Hi, I have a very dumb question. In Step 2 does Cove not wanna share his drink with us at the mall (or rather why he stops drinking it) because it's an indirect kiss? Or is it like ...weird to him to share? Because if I remember right he eats off our spoon in the birthday scene right? 
Yeah, he’s awkward about it because he likes the MC and it feels very personal to share a straw with his crush.
Hi! If you don't mind me asking, who is the artist for OL2? Their style is so pretty! 
Thank you for saying so! This is her Twitter- https://twitter.com/redridingheart
Do Beginnings & Always and Now & Forever exist in the same universe? 
Yep! XOXO Droplets also exists in the same universe. It’s one big GB Patch world, haha.
Do Pran's parents regret the way they raised him? Do they feel ashamed of it?
No. They’re the type of people best cut out because they’re not gonna change. Which is why Pran does go very limited contact when he’s an adult.
Hi! I just wrapped up my second playthrough of Our Life, and I absolutely adore it, but I had a question. I went to the gallery and found I was missing 2 CGS (specifically Step 1-3 and 2-3) and I had no clue where they would've shown up. Which moments are those found in? 
You get it by telling Cove about his dad offering you money to be his friend in Step 1 and Step 2. You can’t get both in one playthrough, since you can only tell Cove the truth once. I’m really glad you liked it!
Hi hi! Please, how tall is Baxter and Derek? Love the game so much and I can't wait to see more! 
I don’t know, aha. I think Baxter was around 5′10 and Derek was like 5′8/5′9, maybe. I really am not one who has specific heights for things in mind.
is adult cove a bottom, top, or switch? 
A switch, though would choose the top if he had to pick.
I was wondering if there is a way to transfer save data? Even if through the game files. I wanted to be able to transfer my save data from my desktop over to my laptop so that I could continue playing right where I left off from but I'm not entirely sure how to go about that. 
If you save the save folder/persistent data of the game from your desktop and put it into the game folder on your other device, that could work.
Hi! Is it possible for us to know the date when our life: now and forever comes out on steam? Sorry if you've mentioned it before but I haven't seen it and I'm looking foward to that happening and just wanted to know :) 
It’s gonna be a long time, I’m afraid. There’s no estimate right now.
I started playing Our Life with my sister a while ago, and I think you guys should know that we discovered your secret. >:)
L from death note and Cove are clearly the same person, and this whole game is just an origin story!!
I’ve never seen that show so I’m sorry to say I don’t understand the connection/reference you’re trying to make. I’m pretty out of the loop when it comes to media. I don’t watch movies or TV.
Will OL2 have options for disabled MCs?
I understand if it's too complicated, just curious
Unfortunately, it’s not really something we have a plan for. We couldn’t finish the game if we tried to include every disability and have it be meaningful. It’d just be too much content to create. But if we decide to only include a few, how would we choose which disabilities get to be represented and which are left out? I don’t know. It’ll probably have to be something we don’t include as an option again, sadly. I’m sorry.
playing our life > anything else 
Haha, I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
Honestly, I would like to thank Our Life for helping me come to terms with my sexuality. Before, I never would've actually thought that it was possible to like boys romantically and still be asexual. Almost all of the BL visual novels I've read had unskippable sexual content in them and it honestly just didn't click with what I feel. I'm glad I found Our Life. I love the game, the developers, and this fandom so much. Now, I can safely come out as homoromantic AND asexual (at least anonymously here anyway; my parents are still huge homophobes 😂). 
Aw, it’s great to hear you felt comfortable being yourself in the game! That’s wonderful. I’m really sorry about your parents, though.
Will the demo for OL2 be on android? Really not sure if I could wait any longer than I have to aha 
Yeah, it’ll be available for Android once we eventually release a demo!
Do all these reveals perhaps mean development is progressing ahead of schedule? Please let that be the case I'm already obsessed with Qiu 
No, sorry, aha. Art comes along much faster than script/programming-work for us. It’s gonna be a long time before the game is a finished thing you can actually play. But at least we can look at the beautiful images.
Hey! First of all I wanna say I reallllllyyyyy loooovvveeee Our Life and XOXO Droplets! I have over 300 hours of playtime on Our Life… Anyways, I was just wondering, are the Derek and Baxter DLCs going to come out at the same time? If not, which one do you plan to release first? :3 
They will come out separately and Derek will be first! Glad you like the game.
I keep replaying Our Life to get every possible iteration and I am loving it <3 I was wondering if Cove gets locked out of his confession because MC was talking to Lee, would it be possible to confess to him in step 4? 
Yeah, you can avoid the confession in Step 3 and then get it in Step 4.
Hi, my Cove wears bracelets through step 2 and 3 but I still don't get an option to give him a bracelet? I didn't even know that was possible until I seen someone else ask about it lol 
Hm, did you use the Cove creator? Maybe there’s a bug where using the creator to add bracelets doesn’t fulfill the requirement to give Cove a bracelet in Step 3.
Wait, I'm dense, when does Baxter appear in step 2? Is it from big park firework? I feel so bad since i really love Baxter and waiting to buy his dlc. 
It’s in the Soiree Moment. You have to be just friends with Cove, indifferent, or crushing but not ask Cove to the dance at all. Then while there you can find someone new to dance with. But if you bring Cove to the dance while crushing, the MC won’t wanna dance with anyone else so you can’t get the scene.
In step 2 when we go to the soiree I made my mc go alone and baxter chooses the mc to dance, i'm curious, why did he pick the mc? sorry if this has been asked before! 
Because the MC looked to be around his age, seemed to also be searching for a partner, and had nice legs. A perfect option for him.
I read some of the FAQs, and I saw that we could tell Baxter about the condo that he rented there was previously the mean old grandparents. how do we get the mc to tell him that? 
It happens in the DLC Moment “Late Shift”. If you don’t have a job you instead get a longer scene with Baxter.
I don’t know if you’ve addressed this or not, but are you planning on paying voice actors for our life: now and forever? 
Yeah, we pay our VAs in all our projects.
hey can i ask how you did the moments thing in ol? im trying to get into making visual novels and while im VERY sure its out of my comfort zone and all that atm i kinda wanna know just for the future, bc im p sure it would work well for something i wanna do :O but its also fine if you cant say for other reasons :> 
I’m afraid I’m not sure what you mean. Are you asking how we programmed the screen or something script related? Adding Moments like that is pretty straightforward, though. You just have buttons that open to different labels and then the scripts are essentially individual short stories/vignettes. Good luck with your VN!
Since Autumn becomes gender fluid later in the game, will there be a character who remains as he/him to romance in game? 
OL1 has the he/him LIs, OL2 is all about other genders.
I don't want to impose on your creative plans, but a parrot could possibly make a good pet in an OL-type game? They're pretty long-lived and likely to still be thriving by the end even if the MC got them back in step 1. 
I do appreciate the suggestion, but I’m afraid it’s not likely going to happen. I understand there are technically some animals that could theoretically live long enough to last the whole game that or we could have the MC only get a pet after some years have already passed. But the many things that would have to be considered/accommodated for makes it just something we probably can’t manage adding. I’m sorry.
As time passes will we be able to see Qiu and Tamarack's other stage arts as well?
They are both so cute i can't wait to be friends with them!
Yeah, we’ll show content from other Steps in the future. It’ll be a little while from now, though.
Can you date Cove and still have your family comfort you in the car?
You can’t get Cove’s Step 3 confession scene if you have the family comfort you in the car. But that’s not the only way to date him. You can get together with him earlier in the game or later on in Step 4.
Is Mc always going to be the one walking down the aisle or could Cove do it? Also could you choose to have one of your moms walk you? 
No. Cove wouldn’t want to walk down the aisle like that and the MC automatically respects that. And the MC also gets to have their preferences respected, so it’s up to you whether they want to do an aisle walk or not. You also can pick who, if anyone, walks with you.
Once step 4 is out, will you be able to go the whole game on crush/love without either of you confessing? 
Yes, as long as you tell the game you don’t want to progress the relationship. Even in Step 4 it won’t force you to officially get together.
Howdy, so in Step 4, there will be any Romance with Derek that is not part of any dlc? 
He’s only a friend unless you get his romance story.
Will the step 4 in OL2 be one big step or are you considering moments? 
Step 4 is just an epilogue in both games.
hi kind of a weird question but!! we know tht cliff doesn't start dating again but. wht abt flings? like does he ever do 1 night stands or anything? thank u!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Nope. Cliff has a very small interest in sex. If he’s not in a real relationship with a partner he’s crazy about it simply isn’t something he feels a need for, so one night stands wouldn’t even cross his mind.
sorry if you've already answered this, but i was wondering if there were plans for there to be bonus love interests in OL2 like how we have derek and baxter in OL1.
Maybe! There are side characters who could be given romance stories, but whether or not it will happen depends on funding and how long everything else takes to finish.
I don't know if i'm allowed to ask about ol2 here yet, if not u can ignore this or answer it later. My question is can you date one of them and be good friends with the other? I don't want to be strangers with the other bcs i love them both a lot :<
Yes you can!
what patreon level do i have to be to unlock the nsfw moment? im on the $5 one right now, will that give me access to the moment, or just access to the moment progress? 
That’ll give you access! Tier 2 and anything higher allows the player to download it.
