I was intent on playing as a serious agent to contrast Atlas' more lackadaisical attitude but I really couldn't help myself with making Wraith wave the corpse's arm at Wolf just to see them be horrified lol They can be a menace, just this once, as a treat.

I am also in love with how absolutely ill-timed and inappropriate the moments of romance development between Atlas and Wraith are because it makes sense. They are always on the move, always in danger. When will they even have time to kick back and relax and flirt and develop a relationship? lol

By the way, have you played "The Phantom Agent" by Choices? LTTS really feels like a much better written and funnier version of it lol

Although it might be that a lot of the themes and locations are pretty common in espionage fiction, which I wouldn't even know because I'm not familiar with it.

that choice w the arm was so unhinged but honestly 😭 it fits. Wraith too has done some weird/funny shit in their time, even as a more serious agent!

They are always on the move, always in danger. When will they even have time to kick back and relax and flirt and develop a relationship?

exactly! there haven't ever been quiet moments. no dates to sit down and get to know each other. they had to do that on missions, while hiding. recovering from wounds, when they were strapped to beds and tables and had to clench their teeth together as the other stitched them back up and over time those touches turned more tender than perfunctory. they both stayed up to keep watch instead one or the other. trust had to be developed quickly and everything followed somewhere along the lines too.

I actually used to play choices when it first came out, but have lost interest when it got so nsfw focussed and they stopped producing good books lmao but if that's true I hope you'll like ltts as we go on! I think there are central themes that appear in any spy related game/story so I do understand the comparison.

I really really love how you introduced the relationship with atlas and it bouncing back and forth between flashbacks. It makes the relationship seem very real and intense especially mc’s mourning. Also I dont know if you know this but the entire game is giving the same energy as the musical “spies are forever” cuz I imagine the atlas and mc reunion going the same as this scene from the musical

https://youtu.be/1baAxE6rdaE?si=BVOVtWr2L3aPrW8n

yeah! I like how w the flashbacks not being linear everything seems more... erratic? if that makes sense. atlas and mc have a relationship that spans years but it's the little things that made them fall into it for good.

I dont know that musical but I'll be sure check it and the scene you sent out!

flashback route, pls, oh god, please santa.

the way I don't know what that refers to anymore... I'm sorry!!

#asks #as in the flashbacks we already got ??? Or did i mention smth else

[hvllowheart]

the initial joy turning into dread. realizing you've been lied to by your best friend/partner. the trust was never there, was it? or else you'd have been in on it. instead you've been left behind. left to mourn and blame yourself

To add more fuel to the fire: Atlas noticing the next time they see MC that they don't wear the ring anymore.

oh the absolute pain the angst the ANGUISH. atlas would see that as a bigger betrayal than the mc seemingly moving on with someone else but to them that cements the mc having closed that chapter of their life. for good. that ring was more than just a way to remember atlas. it was a promise too and to see that broken... well they eont enjoy that very much.

Kind of living for the thought of mc maybe potentionally siding with a maybe alive atlas and backstabbing the ro´s because whatever was brewing between them, it could never hold up to mc´s unwavering love and devotion to their one true first love atlas (despite how much they´ve changed) and their growing suspicion and hate for the agency

Also, IF atlas is alive, i can´t wait for them to see mc wears their ring still. The only thing left of atlas for mc to hold on to (great now I made myself sad ;;)

thinking about all of this... pain and suffering!!!

backstabbing the new ro in favour of atlas is so delicious, though. the sheer angst and lowkey pining you could have in that route. the regret while still believing wholeheartedly you made the right call. and then finally noticing the cracks in what you had with atlas. the way atlas themself has changed and you potenrially not liking that change 🫠

#asks #ch. atlas

[hvllowheart]

I'm dying for the moment when atlas and mc meet again, the pain!!! mc barely holding themselves back, torn between heartbreak and anger, with a taste of sorrow.

if that ever happens.... yeah that shit will be ROUGH.

i would give you my liver for the pov of mc from the last year of working for TERRA and not really living after their partner's (in more than one way) death. The mourning, the pain, the guilty, the heartbreak.

that's actually gonna come up in game! for now I'm just hinting at it but it's definitely painful 🥲

I'm still undecided on whether I should have it be a bonus pov and only ever hinted at in game or going the flashback route like everything that happened with atlas at the beginning.

RYWD is incredible! I didn't know you were writing another IF until you mentioned it. I just finished the demo and this is perfect too 🥹 I can't wait for Atlas to come back and stab me in the back, only for me to still crawl back to him 🤣 I'm already in love with the reddest of flags of the ROs 🥰

Here's me reading through all of Atlas' red flags🚩

I know it was him at the Casino, too. 🥲

hey! yes, I kept that a bit quiet for now but I'm very happy you enjoy both! the rywd rewrite is definitely more how I imagined the game first time around.

let's see if you're right about atlas and their red flags 😂 all ro's def have them.

Hi! Replayed the demo again- just wanted to say i love your game and im excited for the next update! (pls take your time)

thank youuu <3 I'm excited for how it'll continue! I'm about halfway done w the chapter, and I hope it won't take too long now 😅

#but with holidays and exams.... yeah #lets see lmao #asks

[hvllowheart]

i played the demo last night and there hasnt been a single moment since where i havent thought about Atlas. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME

my plan to have everyone hooked at the beginning and then crush that within the prologue is working 🤭

#asks #ch. atlas #so happy you love them!!! and that pic sends so bad stop 😭😭

[hvllowheart]

Atlas oh Atlas I know you're at the casino take MC away from these people😔

Kidding aside My MC will most like hold a grudge against TERRA for forcing em' back even if there is a justifiable reason... I'm hoping this won't sound rude but will we get more chance to be Antagonistic-slash-reluctant helper with all of what's happening? And will there be a snapping point for MC?(although I understand that it's dangerous to actually snap in this line of work but MC's a human albeit fictional but human still)

although there is still little info about Feng other than what's already portrayed I dislike her even if she does redeem herself in the future and personally that actually is a great quality of writing, to have the ability to invoke strong emotions is a talent I wish I could also do so myself, I love your writing!

you can be very skeptical of TERRA and question your involvement to other people's faces or privately! and yes, there will be a breaking point. several actually bc some things are just hard to stomach after how the mc left TERRA behind with atlas' death.

I'll go a little deeper into their psyche and how they deal with reopened wounds and a scene dealing with that is actually already in chapter 1 (the one I'm writing rn)

as for Feng... yeah she's meant to be disliked. at least a little. that could change if you start seeing things her way or you can stay at odds with her which is certainly interesting too!!

tysm for the compliment as well I'm 🥹🫶
