Happy birthday to the best boy in the world 🎀💕

I think part of the reason why social skills lessons are always so vague and surface level is because if neurotypicals actually tried to explain their unspoken social rules, they'd have to face how nonsensical and messed up a lot of them are

Misplaced

Misplaced is a fantasy romance interactive fiction WIP, wherein your choices not only determine your own fate, but that of an entire kingdom. Let me take you an adventure filled with both whimsy and tragedy alike.

The current public demo goes up to the end of Chapter 3, available here: https://calliopefiction.itch.io/misplaced

The demo on patreon goes up to the end of Chapter 4: https://www.patreon.com/CalliopeFiction

The Story:

For decades, the human kingdom of Gaiapeia has been fighting against the fae living in the surrounding lands. How this conflict started depends entirely on who you ask.

You are the child of Lady and Sir Grahm, a noble familiy who has been serving the crown for generations. Eager to follow in your father's footsteps, you have been training for years to become a knight worthy of being Prince Az'Lean's Champion - his right hand, his closest confidant, the one who protects his life from the growing danger of the fae.

When the time finally comes and you are chosen for the position, it's a dream come true. You couldn't be happier. But just one day later, on your 21st birthday, a terrible truth is revealed to you.

You are a changeling - a fae child that was smuggled into a human family with only one purpose: to gain the prince's trust and use it against him.

A war between humans and fae is surely brewing and the outcome depends entirely on you.

Features:

Customize the appearance of your MC, play as non-binary, female, or male and romance whoever you like however you like, including the choice for asexual or queer-platonic relationships.

Enjoy the story without having to worry about stats - you will be a competent knight no matter what. There is no failure or success, only different choices and their outcomes.

Shape your personality, and your trustworthiness, with your actions. Other characters' disposition to you will change depending on how they perceive you.

Pick a side early on, play the long con, or refuse to make a choice at all. There are multiple split paths that will feature the same romancable characters - but their relationship to you might vary greatly (including villain romances).

Romance:

Vynn (nb):

Vynn is one of your fellow knights and a long-time friend. Unlike you they aren't a knight by choice and don't care much for fighting. You get the feeling they'd much rather be a bard if they could, seeing as they love playing the lute, spinning epic tales and generally being a source of levity. They are fiercely loyal and good-natured, though there is that bit of resentment that will never quite leave their heart.

Prince Az'Lean (m):

Az'Lean is your prince, the one you are sworn to protect. On first glance, he is the very picture of a fairytale prince: charming, chivalrous, and powerful. He is an excellent fighter, loves animals, and prefers to be treated like an equal. Anyone who cares to look will soon notice the darkness lurking beneath that shining exterior, festering ever since the death of his mother.

Lady Meave (f):

Maeve is a powerful dryad who was sent to educate you on the ways of the fae. She is usually playful and soft, though her patience tends to run short. As much as she cares about decorum and courtly things, she finds joy in the simplest things and easily turns into a giggly mess. For all her humour, you can never quite tell if she is being serious. Sometimes it feels like she's just playing with you.

Thianne (f):

Thianne is a sorceress and one of Az'Lean's most trusted advisors. She is intelligent and hard-working, though sometimes at the expense of her own well-being. Although she comes across as abrasive and rude, she is always willing to help those who need it. Her dry sense of humour and brutal honesty have endeared her to just as many people as they have made her enemies.

Lester (m):

Lester is a half-fae servant, working in the castle. As with most half-fae, his presence isn't entirely welcome and his reasons for being here seem complexer than he lets on. Lester is known for his mischief and his crude humour, often pulling pranks that border on malicious. Despite the way he presents himself as laid-back and uncaring, it's clear that there's a lot he isn't opeing up about.

A Love to Forget?

Pair: Ushijima Wakatoshi x fm!reader 

Genre: angst, suggestive, hurt/comfort  

Content: Divorce, arranged marriage, very suggestive    

Song: Love in Portofino  by Andrea Bocelli

Word Count: 3k

Summary: You and Ushi’s arranged marriage is reaching its end.  You two only agreed to be married for 3 years only to follow each other’s families’ wishes.  However, it seems none of you wants to bring it up at all, and bring up possible feelings. 

A/N: This honestly took awhile to finish.  I managed to finish this because of the song that I find romantic and relaxing to listen to.  Do any of you listen to Andrea Bocelli?  I just have to say, I love the songs.  In fact, I’m listening to his songs now, as I write this author’s note.  

I give you this ring as a sign of my love. With all that I have, I am honored to call you my husband from this moment until forever. 

Those were the words you said to your husband, Ushijima Wakatoshi, during your wedding day.  Those were the empty words you said to your husband.  

Empty words for a wedding that has no love in it.  

Though…a marriage that was bound by empty vows is finally coming to an end. However, a part of you does not want it to end.

Please I'm begging you all to turn this on in your settings

Now that I've enabled this I can see how old a post is and also when anything added via reblog was posted. I'm now able to see, for example, people inadvertantly circulating news that's years old but responding to it like it's new. I can see if a post with 10k notes is a day old or a decade old. It's very, very useful. Please do it.

I act like i’m okay but deep down I wanna get paid to sleep

Reblog if you're a nobody on Tumblr but you're still very proud of your blog.
