Hello, I just found (stalked through) your blog and I just wanna gush for a moment, cause I really love the premise and cannot wait for the demo ❤️ I was reading through your asks and boy, while I thought Nate would have my heart for sure - younger Nate does, I love me a confident little prick - current Nate is definitely the kind of person I'd probably cut off with a "you're not a good friend, not a good partner and honestly I see no value in keeping you in my life, with how you turned out" which IS A STRONG EMOTION FOR A CHARACTER I HAVEN'T EVEN MET YET! You've done amazing in fleshing the chars out through the asks and scenarios!! ❤️ Ji Han is now the loml, mc's head is empty, no thoughts! These have been my - very coherent, I'm sure thoughts so far, have a great day and I cannot wait to see more from you!!

oh wow! this was very nice to wake up to!!

it makes me feel so proud(!!!) that you can understand my characters so well to the point of forming such strong opinions (that I condone 100% present Nate is an ass!) and I haven't even──like there's no actual content for them yet... thats wild!

and I can't stop smiling

thank you🧡

( that's how I aspire to be in Ji Han's presence too, quite honestly he might be my favourite ro )

Is the demo gonna be played on Itch.io or on Dashingdon? Also hiiii how are youuuuu :D

I plan on it being made with twine, running on itch.io... when I get around to figuring out all the code

Hi! I'm doing okay, just got over an almost three week long cold (was not fun) and I'm having a little bit of an avoidance writers block but I'm good :)

Any ETA for the demo?

I want to be completely honest with you guys, like always, when it comes to developments and such.

Right now, I have finalised the overarching plot line for the whole IF but I'm still working on personal routes.

I have some drafts already written but there's nothing linear enough to put out for a demo yet.

I can't give you an ETA because I simply don't know when something solid and worthy enough to be a demo will come together──it's definitely not going to be before 2024.

If I get something small together for a prologue, for example, then perhaps we're looking at mid January to early February, but I can't promise you that.

I don't want to give you guys a date and then not meet it, it's like my worst nightmare lmao.

(And I'm still very new to coding, this is gonna take a while!)

#radio kathryn if #general #its a very good question so please dont feel like youre being pushy or rude #(and i hope i dont sound rude in return) #timelines are cool and helpful!!! #deadlines make me want to die

[radiokathryn-if]

Hey! Guess what, friends! We have ourselves some wonderful art from the lovely @arleewfox!

Check it out~

It's Nate!!! Many, many, rings and necklaces included!

(there may be a Detective Han on the way later so, be ready!)

13. we fell asleep on the couch, watching a movie and wake up entangled with each other for the loml Nate?

am i judging the part where you call Nate the love of your life? yes. did i write this the way i did anyway? also yes. from this prompt list. 577 words. (nate is 17/18 meaning MC is between 13/14 and 17/18! for natemancers i always imagine them as the same age, but it is something to keep in mind.)

It was almost four in the morning.

Nate had showed up at your house around eleven spewing rushed out and slurred words about how his parents threatened to kick him out (again), about how they compared him to his oh so perfect brother (again) and how he ran out of the house before they got the chance to say the words "and never come back" so it wasn't official.

(again).

(it's not like he went far, you lived literal streets away.)

"They always do this." He had hiccuped on your shoulder, half delirious. When he let out a deep breath you could smell the signature twang of alcohol in the air. "'Lijah's not even here and everything's still all about him!"

"C'mon," you whispered, urging him to keep his voice down too (lest he wake up your parents and be kicked out too), not wanting to entertain his spiralling thoughts about his brother. (especially since you knew his brother well too, and he wasn't nearly as bad a Nate complained he was.) "Let's go watch a movie."

You didn't really choose a film to watch, doing nothing more than finding a random channel playing the first film you saw. Not that you could see much of anything in the tiny screen with a subpar resolution.

Nate seemed enthralled though, so, that was a plus.

You sat on the two seater couch shoulder to shoulder, considering there wasn't a longer one and the chair was reserved, always, for your father (who could somehow always tell when some had sat in it.), but it wasn't anything new for you.

Nate knew nothing about personal space.

You don't know when you fell asleep, just that when you woke up your neck was sore and your arms were numb. You blinked blearily, blinded by a sliver of sunlight streaking through an open pocket between the drawn curtains of the front room. You groaned a little as you finally registered the pain you were in, stretching your neck from side to side as an attempt to mitigate the ache of the muscle.

"Hey..." Nate's voice was deep, smothered by sleep. His brow scrunched and his eyes squeezed closed as he half heartedly lifted a hand to swat at you (completely missing) before he turned his body inwards, trying to run away from the light. "Stop... moving." He breathed, the air hitting your bare skin as his head tucked into the crook of your neck.

The shivered that wracked your body were not new to you.

The was he chuckled into your skin as he felt your body quiver was not new to you either. (he had always been way too observant while still half asleep.)

"What time is it?" You asked after a short while, not even attempting to engage in the ting between you. He was one of your friends, one of your closest friends. You didn't want to even entertain the thought of something happening between the two of you──even if it was obvious that something was happening.

"Dunno..." He groaned, lips brushing against your neck as he stretched out, his head nuzzling more into your side as he did so. "Late enough the sun is fucking my eyes."

"Late enough for you to get caught." Came the voice of your mother, startling the two of you into upright positions. "Busted..." She sing-songed with a smirk, laughing as Nate fell onto the floor in his rush to separate from you.

[radiokathryn-if]

Hola amigo (amiga). It’s me again. I’m in class, slaving away my life and with my newfound brain juices, I decided to spend it on something worthwhile like expanding your own brain juices.

The ROs decided to play Monopoly (because that’s where brain power works more effectively). Who loves it, who hates it, how do they play, and who ultimately wins against one another? Also, have a good day (or night depending on when this is.)

Hello friend! Just for you and your slaving brain power, I shall gift you with a little bonus!──long answer! +I just finished cooking(&eating) supper so it has indeed been a good night lmao, I hope you have one too! ++I may have way too much fun trivia about monopoly just rattling around in my head, so I apologise if I start rambling! +++also! I'm acting as if they're all playing together... which would never happen but is still fun to think about!

Which little mascot token thing do they choose/get/fight for/end up with?──in 1972 there was only: the shoe, the hat, the dog, the iron, the car and the boat... so I've added more such as the thimble, the lantern (retired in 1950) and the rocking horse (retired 1950)

NATE──is picky and also very narcissistic, he has to pick first and he always gets the dog (a yorkshire terrier!) because it's "objectively the best one" no one really objects because they don't want to deal with his whining.

EVA──she always gets the lantern. when she's not at the table to claim it first, it's gets set aside for her. unlike with Nate, everyone else lets her have it because she simply asks nicely. Eva just thinks it's pretty─she calls it her good luck charm! (she has a nice winning streak!)

MICA──does not care for their token at all, and is usually the last to gain it, often getting the one no one went for or wanted... which mostly ends up being the iron... Mica thinks it's rad though so they don't mind!

DETECTIVE HAN──doesn't really play board games and is subsequently a bit slow to the battle royale of the token picking... they end up with the shoe because it's only of the only two left and they'd rather not pick the iron...

JOSÉ──they're not going down without a fight! they are pretty competitive, especially when it comes to board or card games─curtesy of their many siblings─and they will bargain for the token of their choosing... which is the the thimble... but they usually lose out to Ji Han, in which they fight Fauve for the boat!

JI HAN──he wins the thimble from José but he only goes for the thimble if the the plane is gone and considering its the one token lost to the void, well...

FAUVE──she watches José and Ji Han fight it out for the thimble with glee and then when José sets their sights on her and the boat its quickly wiped away... she knows when to take her losses and resigns the boat to them after she can feel a ten minute debate forming, leaving her with the car!

JACKSON──used to picking last when playing board games, though most times Cilly just gives him a token she seems fit... he'd end up with the hat (a top hat!) because even though he doesn't particularly care, he's still quicker than Mica or Detective Han to scoop up one of his favourites!

???──they like most of the tokens and are usually the first to pick, in actuality, they're the one who set aside the lantern for Eva and make the dog easy to see for Nate to claim 'first' after which they swoop in and collect the rocking horse! much like Eva, the token is a bit of a good luck charm for them─the only time they've ever gone bankrupt was when they were playing with the boat instead!

actual game play! who loves it, who hates it, who's winner and who's a sore sore loser baby?

Nate says he likes monopoly but he is quick to change his mind as soon as he loses his money... honestly, if he didn't fixate on the money side of things and strategise like i know he can he'd probably give Eva, ??? and Ji Han a run for their money! (sore sore loser, losing loser baby, sore loser baby)

Like most things outside of her personal life, Eva stays winning. She loves strategy games and she's very good at interpersonal tactics (and she doesn't get greedy or blind sided by fake money.) She's on a winning streak... but there are a couple that give her a run for her money! (somehow she always manages to get one or both dark blue's on her first circle of the board...)

The ever unbothered Mica could honestly care less about monopoly──that is to say that they get surprisingly intense around two thirds in! Something about monopoly specifically ignites the competitive fire under them. They're strangely protective of the train stations and the utilities. They always somehow end up going bankrupt though, and sell out to Eva or Ji Han (or ???) depending on who can give them the most appealing sales pitch... Mica just likes hearing what they'll come up with!

Detective Han is a baby at playing board games... that aren't chess or checkers that is. The first time they play they're too caught up in the rules to realise all the spaces are slowly being taken up. The next time they buy every space they land on and were the first to go bankrupt so quickly in a while! They're a bit of a rules lawyer but have since mellowed out to enjoying the game without getting worked up about losing.

José is competitive and they love a classic board game. Playing with their siblings, they're known to be one of the winners more often than not... playing with the other ROs? That's a whole different ball park─a whole different weight category! Especially with brilliant players like Eva, Ji Han and ??? (when they're in the mood to win)! José can admit when they're out of their depth but that doesn't mean they aren't going to go down without a fight. They're the most... involved player, often propositioning places or money with literally anyone if they can see it coming out advantageous for them. (Not many of their propositions are accepted, though some are for the sheer audacity and the entertainment value they bring!)

As opposed to his older sibling, Ji Han is actully quite well versed in the ways of the game... Given that he's only played it while half drunk in university halls at 3 in the morning while they wait out for a 5am lecture... playing it with the rest of the ROs is only a little different. (that and he plays with a clear mind and thus remembers the rules and can get into the manipulation tactics!) He's won almost as many times as Eva has, and it's usually the two of them as the final two! He's a gracious loser, even if he's a bit of a show off winner (that's mainly spurned on by Eva's taunting and the final overcoming of her as an opponent.)

Fauve has a competitive streak in her, but it's mainly for bragging rights. She actively tries hard to beat at the very least José and then sets her sights on Ji Han. (The sexual tension between them when she does is quite, palpable... if the teasing barbs and lingering looks are anything to go by) She has yet to win over Eva though and is hedging her bets on a team up with The Trio as a means to an end. (She loves the bragging rights... is winning bragging rights over Eva in monopoly of all things super important? Yes. She already reigns supreme in Uno, this is the next step in her bragging rights empire!! She's up for the challenge!)

Jackson is an easygoing run of the mill average player. He's used to going easy at these kinds of games since most of his experience playing them is with his daughter and her friends... That being said, Jackson is an excellent banker! He's very strict about the money, especially after they found out that Nate was sneaking money when he would designate himself as banker! He bankrupts quite early, but his heart nor his pride is hurt by it, he takes losing like a winner!

Secret mastermind, ???. They're actively the best at playing the game however, they don't have the competitive flare or heart to actively secure more than third place. However, when ??? is in a competitive mood, or a mischievous mood (or just wanting to impress a certain MC or Eva) then all the cards are down and all the bets are off!

bonus round! common team ups!

Eva and ??? are unstoppable when they're both playing together and playing to win! Not that a team up trio of Ji Han, Fauve and José won't give them a run for their money. Nate refuses to team up with any of them, not like they're dropping everything to offer. Mica is a lone island of overconfidence and chilled cockyness... (MC over their shoulder like an angel(or devil) during a poker game...) In a shocking turn of events, Detective Han and Jackson team up as Rules Lawyer and Banker after they declare bankruptcy and are kind of terrorfying to defy... which leads to people trying to loophole their way through the game and providing many moments of laughter inducing entertainment!

Double NSFW asks: What are the ROs preferences in bed? And what are their kinks?

🫣🤭👀😏🥴

100% not safe for work, minors dni

PREFERENCES IN BED

Eva──A softer form of being in charge, Eva doesn't need more than words to be dominant. She's not a fan of being particularly physical or physically dominant but she does like setting pace and the... order of events. She's not opposed to getting a bit rough and getting 'manhandled' but just know... she's always got an upper hand in the end!

Nate──Nate is... in a word, rough. He likes going hard and he likes going fast. He's not submissive but he's not exactly dominant either. He's going to do what he wants, when he wants and he's not really up for constructive criticism. That's not to say he won't stop if you say no──he's an ass not an assaulter.

Mica──Pretty laid back when it comes to sex, they don't have a particular preference and are down try try literally anything once! What they like during sex is more of the smaller things not the circumstance in which sex occurs. A bit of a switch if they had to put a name on it but they have no problems with arousal in any... direction.

Detective Han──Inexperience doesn't equal submission but man, Detective Han really enjoys you taking the lead in these endeavours. They're not completely submissive though, they're not one to let go of control 100%!

José──Probably the most 'vanilla' of the ROs (along with Jackson). They're not really into roles during sex, they prefer the sensual nature of intimacy and would prefer the... casualness that comes from just having sex. Now, that doesn't mean that having sex with José is straight forward or 'boring'! They just don't feel the need to set expectations or the like. They're much like Mica in that sense, having a silly time doesn't mean the mood is shot─not for José!

Ji Han──Probably the Most Dominant of the ROs, especially if he's in the right mood for it. More of a service dom than a hard dom but he can be cruel. The biggest fan of overstimulation one ever did see. He's not into hurting you, slaps across the face or hard smacks anywhere will never happen but... light, meaningful taps to your sensitive parts after you've cum at least twice to see your body twitch or the imprint of his hand lightening the skin on your things or ass after being held tightly for a long time inexplicably turn him on. Ji Han doesn't mind you taking the reigns for a little bit, if anything he finds it amusing to see you try to take control of him, he's a patient man──he can wait till you run out of steam, beg for him to take control again... And he will. And your little act if defiance might have let him reset enough to go for at least another five rounds! (stamina beast!!)

Fauve──More dominant than not but she's not A Dominant... she's not a hard dom. She likes being the one in control over how things happen but she's not a brat tamer and she doesn't have rules. She's a confident flirt and instigator and she will tell you if she likes what's happening. Fauve happens to love being on top, she's by no means a 'pillow princess' however, that doesn't mean she's doing all the work! Her favourite... activity is encouraging you to work for your release while she's taking a pause above you... However, she's also a bit of a switch with someone way more dominant (Ji Han wink wink) and can be a total brat and push back to the limits.

Jackson──Not the most sexual of the ROs and has been going through a bit of a sexual lull because of his almost-ex-wife. He prefers when things flow organically, no one person having a 'upper hand' or particular sway over the happenings and activities. That's not to say he doesn't enjoy sex, and he has several ways of 'spicing' things you without the need for Dom/sub dynamics!

???──The Switch of all Switches. 100% submissive but also 100% dominant, can and will switch in the middle of a session if they so choose to──usually gently coaxed into a more submissive role and pushed into a more dominant role. They are the one who's inexperience doesn't translate to submission──seeing as they prefer having at least some control.

(SOME) KINKS

Nate──Katoptronophilia aka mirror sex, he usually keeps a hold on your jaw to keep you looking at what he's doing to you but he's also extremely vain and loves looking at what he's doing too. Public sex, which is linked to a humiliation kink and is quite hypocritical, he likes the thrill of being in public, he likes the possibility of humiliating you but you're not to breathe a word of your exploits. Graphoerotica aka writing words on someone's body, corruption kink, pretty self explanatory

Eva──does she have a mommy kink? hmmm maybe it's more of a ma'am/miss kink. Let her take care of you... Let her tell you how to take care of her. Food play, mainly aphrodisiacs and sweet food over phallic shaped food for insertion. Voyeurism (watching) which might seem... counterintuitive because if her dislike of cheating but watching people you love love each other is much much different. Does it count as a foot fetish if she wants to see you at her feet?

Mica──Odaxelagnia aka biting (both receiving and giving), somnophilia aka sexual acts while asleep, oral leading in to sixty nining, dirty talk, lazy sex, sexting, marking aka hickies, they really love seeing their efforts on your skin.

Detective Han──Clothed sex, , queening/face sitting (recieving), sit on their face please─let them feel the weight of your body on their chest─your thighs around their head... please, mutual masterbation, ...handcuffs (recieving).

José──Melolagnia aka the sexual reaction to music, soundwave vibrations or the actual music─not just lyrics and not just a sex playlist, phone sex or audio leading in to voice kink, and sensual dirty talk, praise kink (receiving).

Ji Han──*ahem* knife play, overstimulation, dacryphilia, mind break, almost choking (the hand and the weight, not the loss of air or the squeezing), giving praise but also really loves hearing praise, shibari (giving), orgasm control (giving), may or may not acquire a breeding kink down the line... also, really in to anal, analingus and cunnilingus!

Fauve──temperature play, ice cubes a wax one after the other... she likes taking the ice more and likes applying the wax more, threesome/orgy/group sex leading to toys, double penetration and voyeurism, she wants to watch and help someone (Ji Han) fuck you wether that be her hands or her toys...

Jackson──cock warming, scent kink, intercrural/interfemoral sex aka thigh kink, shower sex... watching porn together.

???──Quirofilia aka hand kink, impact play (recieving and giving), voyeurism and exhibitionism, ...free use (with consent and in private), amaurophilia aka blindfold sex, breast/nipple worship (both giving and recieving), they get off on both degradation and praise, especially if they're being interjected at the same time!

[radiokathryn-if]

don’t know if this has been asked before but on a scale of 1 to 10 how resistant are the ROs to MC giving them the puppy eyes?

cute! 1 being' stone faced not budging' and 10 being 'will fall over their own feet to comply' :)

NATE──switches between -5/10 and like 3/10. Puppy eyes simply annoy him. He hates the puppy eyes, hates that people think they can even attempt to manipulate him into doing something for them─for you. If you push it he will raise his voice or just leave you completely. (If you do it sarcastically he may be petty enough to follow through with your 'super serious' request just to spite you, though)

EVA──4/10. She's not a maid, she's not going to make you a sandwich or fetch you a drink if you're capable of doing it yourself (it's a different story if your tired or ill) she'll agree to things that the two of you can do together like going for some candy floss at a fair because you haven't had it in ages or spontaneously trying out a new hobby because you caught sight of a flyer and it looks interesting. Anything else you'll have to try very hard to get her to even think about agreeing!

MICA──ranges from 2/10 to 6/10. They've know you for a very long time, they've been exposed to your puppy eyes for years and have grown immunity for them! They tend to agree to the more spontaneous of questions... as well as the more amusing 'crackheadish' ones you can come up with. Mica might indulge you on the very small ones in which you're too lazy to stretch that inch further for the TV remote or to go to the next room because you forgot your phone... Sometimes they say no just to watch you beg more!

DETECTIVE HAN──somewhat surprisingly, 9/10. The detective may cave immediately, especially if your request is small/easy to achieve. They trust you not to use your puppy eyes in serious situations─so when you do use them they tend to be unguarded and give in immediately so they aren't flustered for too long.

JOSÉ──7/10. They like doing things for the people they like! It's not so much as 'falling for puppy eyes' but rather just saying yes to your requests and questions. Though, they're not a complete push over, you can't fool them into throwing their money away or doing something inappropriate during work hours... Small things like fetching a drink from the kitchen or actually going to that cafe you've been talking about for ages are a given!

JI HAN──depending on the nature of your request... 4/10 or 8/10. He's not above helping you out or going along with something silly, honestly most times his rejections to your requests are just him teasing you to see what you'll do/how far you'll go. He has some boundaries though and he's not afraid of the word no.

FAUVE──2/10. She doesn't like being told what to do... And as a woman you gets 'asked' to do things as a thinly veils threat of command... she's pretty resistant to most requests, especially with puppy dog eyes. That being said, if she's in a silly mood and the request isn't outrageous you might get her you comply! (it works more when she's in love, just saying)

JACKSON──3/10. You think your puppy eyes can better the puppy eyes of an actual child? Jackson has practice withstanding the begging eyes of his daughter, he's built up immunity! (he'll crack eventually, especially if you don't push too much.)

???──5/10. They're not exactly the world's most... integrated-into-society-type so their perception of what a request that may be something they could say no to with no problems (and this the need for puppy eyes) isn't exactly the best. By no means does that mean they're a doormat, it just means you have an equal chance if them outright refusing or complying straight away!
