Season 8 Thoughts:
I haven't said much of anything about the new season because I have very little to complain about, and honestly, I'm only funny when I'm complaining. But I figured I should say that I love it. It's messy. It's frustrating. I love the guys. I love the girls. I love the friendships. I'm rooting for couples even if I like someone in that couple. This is the first season where I'm genuinely ecstatic to do the wlw routes. Claudia is so freaking hot and lovely. Bea is a sexy sass queen. I want Hazel biblically (though I'm pretty sure she's not an option).

My complaints are pretty minor overall (and thus are pretty boring):
As always the clothing options are... questionable, and we got the worst dance outfit as per usual.
The dance scenes are particularly bad. What's with all the finger sucking? And what the hell was Theo doing squatting and popping up? I can't even visualize what that was supposed to be šŸ¤£
Poor Hari. I like him, but his sprite is not it. The way his mouth is drawn it looks like he's always talking through clenched teeth.
I wish Sienna was a little more developed. The guys keep saying she's fun but we've never experienced it. It would be nice to see what they actually like about her.
My biggest frustration is that they've still never figured out how to handle love triangles and break ups. The characters always break up and then act like they never broke up. It's weird for your LI's partner to dump them because LI said they liked you, and then act confused about why the vibes are off in their relationship. It doesn't feel intentional, like it's meant to be messy, as much as it feels like a failure of the branching to give us a distinct route.
That's kind of it, though. I'm sure I have a few more nitpicks but overall the heat is back and so is the romance. I honestly haven't had this much fun with a season since season two and that's high praise. I wouldn't say it's as great as two. The branching will simply never be that good again because the platform they use can't support it. The characters also had more complexity back then, because the season was longer and it was all scripted by humans (though I'll admit, I'm happy to not have as much filler now we did back then). That said, this one IS great. I'm living for the romance, and for the first time in the entirety of the game, I'm living for the messiness! Emel is the worst, but I also love her? I'm genuinely struggling with my choices too, which is fun.
Oh and Theo... sigh. I never do the love triangle routes. I have no patience for them or for wishy washy pixels. I liked Ozzy but I stopped doing his route mid game because I couldn't deal with the frustration of it. But I am EMPHATICALLY HERE FOR THEO AND I WILL FIGHT CLAUDIA IN THE STREET FOR HIM (AND THEN MAKE OUT WITH HER). I fell hard for Max and dumped him the moment Theo showed me some attention. They really starved us in the first half with him, but now... no crumbs, baby! The way Theo stopped the sexy talk for a romantic conversation about the future and how he says he believes in us so much and wants to travel together so we can be his muse, and the way he said he's falling for us. And the way he ASKED, HE FREAKING ASKED if he could touch us. I AM A PUDDLE OF MELTED HONEY. PLEASE TURN ME INTO BAKLAVA.

I've been following you for a while, but the only one of your characters I feel like I know is Fiona. Who are your other favorites? Please gush away šŸ¤­
Caro, love this ask! I'll take literally any chance to gush over Rin and Rams šŸ„ŗ
I tend to talk more about Fiona than any of my others (though Iā€™m slowly working on that!!) Iā€™ve just had Fiona rotating in my brain for longer than my other two!Ā 
I have two other MCs: Rams (the Elementalists) and Rin (the Freshman series but is not the MC for it). Rams I made for the book club event and Rin I made for the fun of it.Ā 
RINĀ 
Where do I start? Sheā€™s amazing, sheā€™s awesome, sheā€™s possiblytheloveofmylife. Sheā€™s the only one where Iā€™ve really sat down to write down her backstory [here]. I like her, sheā€™s tough but still caring and kind ā€“just in her own way.Ā 
Rinā€™s main angle is a motive of control. For most of her life, her circumstances were beyond her control. Sheā€™s had to just roll with the punches life has given her which meant that when she did have control, Rin clung to it tighter than a mother beat with her cubs. Rin wants control, she wants to steer her life in a way that matters despite the world going out of its way to rip any semblance of control from her.Ā 
A twin angle to her character is instability: her mom, her domestic life, her education ā€“all were built on rough ground and could be taken/leave very easily. Even the positive relationships sheā€™d built werenā€™t permanent. So Rinā€™s gotta act like nothing will last because nothing hasĀ  lasted.Ā 
But like I said, despite all of that. Rin wants to be there in the way few were. She wants to be that janitor that quietly took care of you when your parents were hours late picking you up. She wants to be that one dude on the train that saved your regular seat for you when you ran late. She wants to be a small piece of kindness that you donā€™t stop thinking about.Ā 
At her core, Rin wants to be good in a world that wasnā€™t good to her. I love her for it.Ā 
RAMSĀ 
Rams, Rams, Rams. Where to start with cos? Co is a little slippery to me, I wonā€™t lie. But coā€™s got a solid center, just a bit harder for me to express right, I suppose?
When it comes down to it, she wants to be there for others. She wants to support everyone and be reliable and be their comfort. Rams wants the people around her to know that sheā€™s always open to them ā€”that sheā€™ll always care about them even when sheā€™s not caring about herself.Ā 
The tiny problem? A lot of that isnā€™t reciprocated for a long time. Rams makes themself so so available to their detriment that often people justā€¦ forget the effort it takes to do that. It becomes natural to rely on them in a way that Rams loves but canā€™t keep up with.Ā 
By the time, heā€™s in highschool Rams is running on empty. He canā€™t disappoint anyone, canā€™t not be there, canā€™t not care about them. Rams has to keep this going. In addition, heā€™s a good student: was labeled gifted in elementary and so suffers for it now. His deans toss all the hard classes to him and heā€™ll perform. Heā€™ll do it with mild complaint because thatā€™s how it has to be, right?Ā Ā 
Itā€™s all reinforced by the idea that no one cares about co. As I said, the immense effort co puts into his relationships (at this point platonic, romantic are a different story thatā€™ll throw me off trackā€“) is not returned and the lack of praise or criticism co receives from Mr Erndheart (coā€™s guardian) affirms his belief that it doesnā€™t matter what happens to co as long as co can still survive. Pretty much ā€˜aliveā€™ is all co expects for coself. Co could be unhappy, tired, hungry, etc (basically a Sim but all the bars are red all the time) and as long as co can hear coā€™s beating heart, itā€™s fine for Rams.Ā 
Add that Rams doesnā€™t want to worry anyone. Blessedly, lack of sleep doesnā€™t show up to well on him so he plays it off when people notice. He takes extra care that he seems to be doing well even if he really is suffering behind the scenes. If he confesses that no, heā€™s just a swimming duck desperately trying to keep afloat then what can he provide? Who would take assurance from him? Who would he be reliable for? Who would stay around him? If anyone knew what he was, who would stay?Ā 
In Penderghast, Rams is basically healing. Xeā€™s been tossed into a world xe doesnā€™t have any reference for where no one expects much from xim. And for the first time in forever, Rams just breaths. Exists with minimal responsibilities and starts to understand just how much stress xeā€™s put ximself under and I love that for xe.Ā

My notes as Iā€™m reading WG 3 (spoiler alert)
Buckle up, babes, itā€™s a doozy, I mean, not a 21k word doozy, but nonetheless. And I hope at least someone felt the same way
- ugh, not Curtis being better to Wanda than either Ari or Steve has been. He was lowkey a creep tho??
- Yay, Ari came to find her #teamAri
- Lol at Ari calling Steve a slimeball (he really is one. Iā€™m calling it now)
- Props for not folding during the spanking. You go girl. Call him out on not making you his gf
- Not Ari catching himself almost saying ILY Oop
- Period. You do deserve better than late night dates
- *gasp* heā€™s not gonna fight for her??
- Crying at the slammed door
- Not Wanda dating Curtis and him acting like he doesnā€™t know anything šŸ™„
- I REFUSE to believe Sharon was so blind to Ari cheating on her but whyā€™s she being so nice about the dress? Is Ari that good to her?
- Lol at Ari calling Steve volatile but I bet he lowkey is
- Ari calling Steve bad news? Itā€™s gotta be true. I know it
- Lol at Wanda calling her not Curtisā€™s type
- Oh Steve. What are you doing at practice??? Youā€™re a filthy liar. NOT a gentleman
- Steve out here being a little TOO forward and Sharonā€™s so nice but SO blind. What does she mean Ariā€™s not possessive?? Why is he even with her? What on earth could be tethering the two????
- Lol at the stare-down over ā€˜lame boy stuffā€™
- I know Steve is unhinged but him calling Curtis a ā€œBald fuckā€ is hilarious
- *omg. Half of these are about name-calling. Do I have the humor of a 12-year-old boy?*
- Lol at Jensen the little announcer. What a cutie
- šŸ„ŗpoor Jensen lost his glasses
- *GASP* it hit her in the face
- Ari to the rescue
- Ari praise in the bathroom? Yes please.
- ARI APOLOGIZED!!! (But sadly not for everything) THE KISS!!! Sharon better not walk in with the iceā€¦
- ARI PLS JUST TELL HER WHAT STEVE DID
- LOL Sharon, youā€™re too kind with the ice haha
- Not Steve threatening her on the date. Isnā€™t he dating her to make Ari jealous tho?? Even just a little bit?
- Ofc sheā€™s smiling at the thought of her ā€˜dateā€™ with Ari. Idk where this date is going with Steve but Iā€™m scared
- Lol youā€™re so British for specifying still water. I love it
- Not Kira being scared of Steve. Thatā€™s a bad sign
- Omg why did Kira drop out? Is Steve implying it has to do with Ari??
- Steve, you slimeball trying to seduce her before the date. Is it all a ruse????
- IT WAS A RUSE. AND WHY DOESNT HE UNDERSTAND SHE WANTS TO GO HOME??
- Steve, give the girl a shirt that isnā€™t ripped and send her home.
- Not Steve punching the wall šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøtypical frat bro behavior
- ā€œStop struggling for one secondā€??????? STEVE!!! YOURE INSANE. I CALLED IT!!!
- Oh Kira, you girl boss. Way to step in. Perfectly timed
- *GASP* ARI BROKE UP WITH SHARON. SOUND THE ALARMS. What do you mean you donā€™t care????
- Obviously Ari recognizes the hoodie. Something def happened with Kira
- Bestie, Ariā€™s not acting. Let him care for you
Questions:
1. TEAM ARI BISH. I KNEW IT THE WHOLE TIME AND I TOLD Yā€™ALL
2. Steve is so unhinged and definitely has some issues he has to work through. MY question is how was Kira able to snap him out of it so easily??
3. Wanda is an ok friend. Sheā€™s just a little selfish but obvi doesnā€™t know what really happened with Curtis and Ari. Canā€™t really blame her for that even tho sheā€™s a little insensitive
4. Like I said, something def happened between Ari and Kira, but that still doesnā€™t explain why Ari says Steve is bad news. What was the extent of Steveā€™s dark past???
I love you for making this but I think I have more questions than when I started. Hopefully Ari will keep pining after her and wait outside her door. Lord knows this girl needs mental support but idk if itā€™s best to come from Ari. Who could possibly help her truly heal? Does she just need a little time? And what difference would that make then if Ari is a senior and sheā€™s a freshman? Whatā€™s supposed to happen when he graduates and if he goes pro??? And also, what on earth was making Ari hold onto Sharon for so long?
Omg I love this sm! I love that you gave a play by play commentary of notes as you read the fic! Thank you sooo much for this, I love it so much! šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ©·
Yasss you caught Ari almost dropping the L bomb!!! I love doing that in my fics hehehe it happened in poyt too!!
AND OMG yes thank you for noticing ā€œbald fuckā€ bc that made me giggle bahahaha. Unhinged!Steve has some funny insults in him I canā€™t lie!
AND OMFG DO ONLY BRITISH PEOPLE SPECIFY STILL WATER??? Help I thought everyone did that! Bc how are you supposed to differentiate it from sparkling water??? If heā€™s giving her a bottle of water and heā€™s rich so he deffo has both still and sparkling in his fridge so heā€™s gonna ask her which one right??? AM I CRAZY JSNXJSJSJS
Oh and bestie Kira is not afraid of Steve! She was just anxious bc someone she didnā€™t know was in the house! Sheā€™s not good with people she doesnā€™t know! Bc if you reread the scene, Kira literally comes into the kitchen looking for Steve! And sheā€™s the one who is able to stop him when heā€™s going insane at the endā€¦ so she is definitely definitely not afraid of Steve!!! Thatā€™s her big bro šŸ„¹šŸ„¹
BESTIEEEEE thank you so much for reviewing!!! This was a pleasure to read! I love how enthusiastically you are on team Ari! šŸ©·šŸ©·šŸ©·šŸ©·šŸ©·šŸ©·šŸ©·šŸ©·šŸ©·

Hi~ I really love your Caesar content he's so cute--- May I requested for him react to his s/o being so clingy please? šŸ„ŗ Thank you! (also this really sad for you to tell people how to be polite because this is normal things people should know how to respect others not just said and leave šŸ¤’šŸ¤’)
Hello friend~ Thank you for your cute request šŸ˜ŠI hope youā€™ll like it! (and yes Iā€™m always quite disappointed when I have to remind people to be polite like Iā€™m not a writing machine ;o;)

ā¤ Headcanons for Caesar with a clingy s/o ā¤
So, at first Caesar will be quite displeased at the thing as he is trying to keep some kind of ā€œreputationā€ or to save his face. He will be like ā€œdonā€™t kiss or hug me, I donā€™t like itā€, but inside he is just a teenage girl screaming because her crush holds her hand. In general, a very tsundere boyfriend, and itā€™s definitely showing so you never take his ā€œstopā€ very seriously as you can see him two minutes after acting like a complete fool in love.
But as time passes, he will let loose. From this he will become more open to your affection. He is a total supportive boyfriend who worships you. He always put you on a pedestal. He still sometimes has reservation, but itā€™s because of all his years of loneliness and works. Just give him sometimes to warm up to the idea.
However, he loves the attention you give him, it makes him feel appreciated and important. So, at some point he would also become clingy. And if you are not giving him enough attention in the day, he will come to you and ask for some.
Caesar will NEVER yell at you or criticize your clinginess. And if someone has the audacity to make a remark they better be prepared for some gruesome beating. He loves everything about you and wonā€™t stand anyone trying to make you feel bad for being the way you are.
In conclusion youā€™ll be the soft couple whoā€™s always glued to each other and praising your partner while others are getting mad at how perfect your relationship is.
