A Game Of Chess

some Swords of Plaithus on the battlefield

Sonic Big Bang! Yeyeyeye!

Go check out @l-sincline’s fic it’s so cool!

As well as other artists @yourkidding and @eloscore!

Just want to say thank you to people that make interactive fiction games. Never stop

ooff I read this one too!! Im agree that the FL looks like Izumi but for the ML i think he has muku face but with yuki characteristic at some scene the ML does look like muku lol

it was pretty nice story to read!

I’m reading Kawaisugiru Danshi ga Ouchi de Matteimasu (The cutest boy is waiting for me at home) and I cannot stop thinking about how much the FL looks like Izumi from A3!. It probably helps that she has a pretty basic design and its mostly in the hair style and hair and eye color

The ML on the other hand sorta reminds me of… Yuki mixed with maybe Azami or Muku? Short and cute with a strong and blunt personality, and also being physically capable (he worked in physical labor previously).

Both the ML and FL are idol otaku, who first met at a concert, who live together after the FL got scammed by her ex-boyfriend (her asking him “would you be my bride?” but platonically, he has feelings for her but she saw him as just a friend). Add in an age gap of 6 years (ML 21, FL 27) where the ML is more reliable than the FL (she works as an office worker).

Honestly this is a cute series. It finished with 7 volumes, but the translation group dropped it partway into vol 3 due to the lack of staff RIP.

That one drama cd when Rin thinks Gou is dating someone and assumes its haru is always running on my mind like why he immediately assumes like that? Does Haru and Gou often seeing each other off screens? This is canon fr if Rin immediately assumes she's dating Haru, lol.

Were there any canon harugou moments that are close to your heart or all of them are headcanons?

Ok so there are literal CRUMBS when it comes to canon HaruGou content but I could still probably write a 17-page thesis on what they are and why I love them. In short, however, my fave moments are:

Reunited for the first time since middle school in Haru's living room and Gou is just eating up Haru's muscles (first guy she does so with, therefore her first love in my eyes).

Haru remembering that she liked being called 'Kou' instead of 'Gou' hngggg (this is where I OTP'd HARD).

His SMOL SMILE when he hears that Gou's joining the club so that they'd be enough members to make it an official team ahhhhh.

'Why do you swim, Haruka-senpai?' MY HEART.

Their general 1-2-1 talks in seasons one and two, when they discuss swimming/Rin/futures. They are comfortable enough and trust each other to talk about these things with one another!!

When they?? Went to the?? Shrine together??? Just the two of them??? To get their fortunes??? WHILE THE OTHERS WAITED OUTSIDE?? GAH.

That super cute moment when Haru's all distracted by some mascot thing and Gou is tugging his jacket from behind trying to get him to listen to her, I DIED BECAUSE THEY WERE TOUCHING.

OK really grasping at straws here but that time Haru looked at her in her yukata for like 0.5 seconds literally birthed a thousand fics in my mind.

Gou makes him mackerel flavoured chocolate for Valentines Day LIKE WHO DOES THAT.

That one drama CD when Rin thinks Gou is dating someone and immediately assumes that it's Haru. Not any of the other guys. His first thought was Haru.

There's probably more but that's my top 10 lol.

every day I beg people to learn how to read and analyze the text they're reading. pls the booktok pandemic cannot go over into the IF fandom too. please read and analyze and get excited instead of being annoying and irresponsible. DO NOT BE THE REASON AN AUTHOR LOSES LOVE FOR THEIR PROJECT OR FEELS TOO PRESSURED! especially if you're getting this craft for FREE.

I say this as someone who writes too.

don't tell the authors what to do. if you think you could do better than sit down and write yourself if you've got a stick up your ass like that.

let authors tell the story THEY want to tell, we're all passenger on their ships and you better have RESPECT for their storytelling and their craft. don't tell them to tone something down, don't tell them how to write their characters, don't fuck with their narrative. they have a PLAN and many IF writers already have a whole story outlined.

authors don't owe you answers to all questions, especially if it concerns the future plot developments. create theories but don't push them on authors.

SUPPORT authors, SEND POSITIVE WORDS, COMMENTS, CREATE FAN CONTENT PRAISING THE WORK!!!

be nice, just be fucking nice. many creators of IFs work a DAY JOB!!! they don't write 24/7 and you should respect their time/their life.

send authors support, always. don't rush them, don't trash them, don't be dipshits.

by being dipshits, you will make authors not love their work. this is what happened with AMR 2 where the fan behavior was atrocious. don't be the reason an author feels pressured to write their work to fit your wants.

support the creation, support the process, support the person who is sharing their craft with you.

this behavior is something I see extensively in several IFs I read and I don't read a lot tbh. but this has to be said.

edit: someone believed that this post asks for no constructive criticism, but constructive criticism vs being a dipshit are two different things. constructive criticism is helpful, esp when asked. so please proceed to this post additionally to understand that flattery is NOT equal support, and being an asshole and bash authors is NOT constructive criticism. please learn to understand the difference.

Tents, timeturners and broken hearts 💔

Why you were selected, you could only guess. What the sisters saw in you you’ll never know, but they saw something.

Perhaps, it was your sullen disposition, or your observant eyes. Regardless of that reason, whatever it may be, from a young age you began training to become a child of mercy.

An Assassin.

The Assassin of Mercy is an interactive, 18+, romantic thriller novel by Lane. S. Snow. It is entirely text based, without graphics or sound effects, and fuelled by the power of your own imagination.

Face the world on your own for the first time as a hired assassin. After years of training, you have received your first contract, to kill the usurper king. Make your way across the continent towards the capital with unconventional companions, build relationships, battle foes and even find love while trying to accomplish your mission. Will you fulfil the terms of your contract or fall short in your paid search for justice?

Why were you chosen to be an assassin? Why did you succeed in your training while others failed? Is this all you are destined for?

Will the questions that keep you up at night be answered on your journey?

. Play as male, female, nonbinary or trans – with options to be gay, straight, bi or asexual.

. Develop relationships with 5 potential love interests.

. Choose your signature style of killing – sword, dagger, strength, bow and arrow or poison.

. Influence the world around you and beyond with your choices.

. Experience how your personality, skills and relationships affect the outcome of your mission.

. Discover the political and personal reasons that lead to the previous King’s death, and the subsequent usurping of his heir.

. Fight, lie, manipulate, spy and most importantly kill your way towards success.

. Fall in love, forge friendships, and fulfil your contract on a mission you’ve spent years training for!

Love Lane, x.

(The Assassin of Mercy is rated 18+ for explicit language, explicit sexual themes, drug and alcohol abuse, violence, morally questionable behaviour and more.)
