Getting Isekai'd to Another Dimension Kinda Looks Like You've Been Kicked Out of an Abusive Household

Tired Dimensional Traveler Accidently Gets Adopted by Grumpy Old Man Due to Funny Misunderstanding, More at 9!

----

Stan Pines had seen quite a few strange customers since he started up the Mystery Shack. From slack-jawed idiot tourists, all but drooling on themselves as they handed over their money, to sweaty know-it-all basement dwellers who claimed that their 1am deep dives made them the Number One Premiere Expert in cryptozoology. The former he welcomed with enthusiasm, a half-sincere grin plastered on his face as he fleeced flocks of rubes and their spawn. The latter, although very rare, he tolerated until they started spouting some half assed science talk about how his 'Sascrotch was an outdated representation of the genus' or 'that jackalope is clearly a fake', it was then those nerds would have the honor of being kicked out by the one and only Man of Mystery. Either way, everyone who visited the Mystery Shack had their pockets emptied, whether through buying overpriced items from the Gift Shop or a little sleight of hand when they got thrown out.

When the gift shop bell rang, Stan expected to see another easily tricked tourist, and to be fair, they looked the part. Wide-eyed and mouth breathing, a young adult entered the shop, their head spinning from object to object, seemingly entranced by the items on display. But that's where any resemblance to a tourist went. As Stan looked over the visitor he noticed some things that were out of place.

First of which were their clothes. Not only were they wearing a hoodie and sweatpants during the middle of summer, but they had many twigs and leaves stuck on them, not to mention the areas smudged with dirt.

Second of all was the half destroyed laptop held tightly in their hands (it was called a laptop right? Stan honestly couldn't remember). It had some kind of sticker attached to the front, maybe a logo from a movie or something?

Third of which, and probably the most alarming, was the specks of blood almost rubbed away on their face, and the heavy bags under their eyes.

Separately these things could probably be explained. Maybe they got lost in the forest and they were one of those people who preferred to roast in the summer heat than wear anything but a hoodie and sweatpants. Maybe they forgot their laptop case or were rich(!) enough to afford buying a new one whenever they destroyed the last one. Maybe they're one of those people who just get bloody noses randomly and don't sleep as much as they should. But together… It honestly wasn't enough for alarm bells to be ringing in his head, but Stan trusted his instincts enough that there was something weird going on.

Grabbing the strange customer's attention with one of his charming greetings, he seemed to startle them enough to actually jump. The ensuing staring contest was probably one of the most awkward moments of his life. The kid was staring at him like he was some sort of cartoon character, seeming transfixed that he even existed, mouth even further agape. Stan expected them to let up on the staring after a few seconds, because that's how long it usually took those with too few brain cells to get used to his loud charming personality, but they didn't. Maybe it was the extreme staring, but something about the kid's eyes made him nervous, like they knew something he didn't.

Although a little unnerved by the stranger, that didn't dissuade him from making a move for their money. Maybe a bit more snappy than what was socially acceptable, Stan all but ordered the young adult to buy something.

Nervous was an understatement. The kid stammered out an affirmative and began looking through the shop, barely hiding a few twitches and handling each item like it was glass. Stan, now free from their uncomfortable stare, deemed it safe to observe his peculiar customer. The back of their clothes was dirtier and messier than the front, as if they fell on their back or fell asleep on the forest floor. The laptop, which they left on the counter for some reason, had some kind of golden bird holding an arrow in its beak. It was also on fire, for some reason? The computer seemed to be cracked in the casing.

The stranger looked back at Stan, jumping when they noticed his staring and returned to browse for more items. Currently they had a few maps and were looking at the meager stock of blankets he had. Honestly, the kid was shifty, and if Stan wasn't already keeping an eye on them, he would be now just because of their jumpy behavior. The messy hoodie, baggy eyes, and general nervousness screamed shoplifter. But surprisingly they brought everything back to the cashier, Stan not seeing them make any suspicious moves to steal anything. They even grabbed the set of hand knitted fingerless gloves Mabel made as part of a bet. Smiling in triumph, Stan ran up the items, before frowning at the customer's wallet and their bandaged hand.

While the lack of money to purchase the whole set of items was concerning, what was more concerning was the stranger's bandaged hand. It seemed they didn't mean to show it at all, quickly hiding it in their pocket as Stan noticed it when they grabbed the set of gloves. Before the hand was snatched back, Stan could have sworn he saw some type of symbol on the back of it, but why what kind of injury would result in something like that?

It was when Stan asked how long they were staying in town for that the pieces started to click. They said they would be staying for "the foreseeable future" and, while a valid response, their tone was odd. Originally Stan asked so he could set up some kind of debt collecting plan cause the kid seemed really put out when they found they didn't have enough money to buy everything. If they were staying for a bit, such as in a motel or a new residence, he'd just have them work off their debt and gently harass remind them until they payed it in full. But it seems Stan just found himself in a difficult situation.

The injuries, nervousness, ill-suited clothing, and lack of money painted a grim picture, a picture Stan was all too familiar with. You don't wear long clothing more suited to winter in 90 degree weather and hide seemingly innocuous injuries from random strangers for fun. You don't take just the essentials and wander around the woods until you're tired and your clothes are ruined for fun. You don't stare like a deer in headlights at loud, shouting old men for fun. You don't look defeated cause you can't buy a blanket, some maps, and something else to cover your injuries, just for fun.

And thus, Stan had a choice to make. He could turn them away, take their money and only give them a map and a blanket because that's all they could afford. As soon as they left he wouldn't be involved and he could continue his life in peace. Or he could be a better person. He could let them into his house, give them a place to stay, maybe a job. Maybe he could give them everything he wanted when he was kicked out: a warm place to stay, edible food, and someone to talk to…

Ha! As if! Stan was no bleeding heart and definitely didn't have any concern that this kid was probably running away from some horrible home life. He only let them keep the maps and blanket because he was gonna work them to the bone to pay him back for the money he should have gotten. He only let them keep the gloves because he was determined to win that bet with Mabel. He only hinted that maybe they could have a job at the Mystery Shack if they worked up to his standards, and only because he needed more competent employees. He had no concern for the kid and everything he did was rational and only for his benefit…

And even if he was a better man, who'd do anything to help the kid, he still wouldn't let some stranger stay in his house. Not when he was letting his great nephew and niece stay over the summer. It was his responsibility to watch over the kids and keep them out of danger. It was his responsibility to keep his family safe.

Even the one he already failed.

And no stranger was going to stand between him and getting his brother back.

— a short and casual genshin impact otome game.

⟣ 𝕕𝕠𝕨𝕟𝕝𝕠𝕒𝕕 𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖 ⟢

┊ (Windows 🪟, Linux 🐧, or Mac 🍎 only!)

◇ 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬? ◇

Just a simple something I had in mind for a Genshin otome game... I have 0 attention span, 0 time, and 0 knowledge to write and build a full-fledged 3D game with intricate stories, plot, and mechanics. This is just a simple visual novel with a streamlined plot and partial voices. You should be able to complete everything in like... 30 minutes long in total. Might be less, even.

◇ 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐬 ◇

The game will contain the following: established relationship, FLUFF, comfort, lots of pet names, suggestive themes, lots of kissy sounds on some routes, implications of violence (not towards player), a sprinkle of protective behavior

◇ 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 ◇

Zhongli, Xiao, Childe, Diluc, Kaeya, Itto, Kazuha (Zhongli is selected by default because who doesn’t love geo daddy???)

◇ 𝐰𝐡𝐨'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫? ◇

This is a very self-indulgent project, hence the dialogues were written with fem!player in mind. It will contain suggestive themes, so please be aware of that before downloading / playing!

◇ 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲? ◇

Yes, it's totally free - in fact, I do not accept payment.

◇ 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲? ◇

Click the link to download the appropriate file based on your OS. Only Windows, Linux, and Mac are supported. No, I won't release it on other platforms.

Open the game, and you’ll find that it’s pretty straightforward. Customize your profile, select your love interest, then start the game.

There are no wrong answers and the love interest can be changed anytime (just go back to main menu and select the character’s picture on the right side).

◇ 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐢 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬? ◇

You can personally send links to this post / the game’s itch.io page to your friends via DMs, but outside of that (reposting), NO. For example, posting about this on Reddit is prohibited.

◇ 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞? ◇

This is a super casual project.

Scripts are not proofread. Probably lots of grammar mistakes.

Novel format without narration (full dialogs).

There are no actual sprites, just official art and something akin to a speech bubble to cater to the characters’ changes in ‘expression’.

There are voices, but only partial - mostly just grunts, chuckles, kisses, and stuff. I’m using JP voices EXCEPT for Itto because Max Mittelman is a gem. No, I will not add other languages' voice versions.

Sound cues and voices are quite important for this game so I recommend using headphones.

Depending on when you open the game (morning, afternoon, nighttime, midnight), your currently selected love interest might greet you differently.

To reiterate, there are no wrong answers.

Selecting all talk/act options for a character will unlock a small event where they'll give you unique gifts.

I lowkey have so many ideas on how to expand on this in terms of gameplay and options but let’s be real here it probably won’t happen lol why can’t my brain be this creative when it comes to work

◇ 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐮𝐬??? ◇

No... That said, anyone can literally say that. Please be responsible for your own actions.

I have also released other games on the same itch.io profile, so this isn't my first rodeo. Feel free to check the reviews on those before making your decision if you're wary about downloading!

◇ 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 ◇

hyv please don't sue me i gain 0 dollars for this and i just wanna simp in peace

(Just a Wallmark rant)

Something I noticed...

I haven't seen anyone mention this (yet), and I feel like this has angst potential. (Like Mark focuses on his work more than Wallter when they were in the relationship, not caring about the little things that matter. Hence, another reason why they got divorced....Mark doesn't pay much attention to Wallter as much as he hopes. This could be used to show why Mark never got him flowers.)

[Edit 4/4/24: I forgot to give credit to the Regretevator Wiki for the dialog snipits so here it is!]

IM OBSESSED WITH YOUR FEYD FIC, ITS SO GOOD DOLLY 😭 i was actually looking for a fic where feyd's personality wouldn't change THAT much but at the same time, he wouldn't be an absolute freak, who harrasses the reader. and your fic is the perfect combination of both! can't wait for the next chapters whenever you'll be able to write more <333

one of the main things i’m worried about is changing feyd’s personality too much. i want the dialog and mannerisms to read as “canon” as humanely possible given the unlikely circumstances i’ve placed him in. genuinely this means so so much to me, so thank you from the bottom of my heart!

don’t get me wrong though, feyd is definitely a freak in this fic. things get freaky and smutty from here on. he has very animalistic tendencies, hence why the crew made the stylistic choices that they did in dune part two. so i’m playing into that a lot with my rendition of him!

he’s crazy territorial and wants his woman to smell like him at all times- which is a trope that is highlighted in this next chapter. i hope you don’t mind him being a freak too much ;)

#sweet nonnie #thank you!#ahhh!#savage bonds fic #this is about to get FREAKKYYYY #he’s weird #and obsessed with you #marking and scenting is the TAMEST thing compared to what i have planned

Will and his feelings for Katherine

In this TED talk, I will argue that Will guessed or at least suspected that Katherine was his sister from the moment he met her, and hence there were no romantic feelings from his side.

[Lots of spoilers]

Yes, maybe it's obvious for everyone, but I still find it interesting to inspect how the narrative structure was keeping us intentionally in the dark both because of different POVs and because of the parts of the backstory that we get only way afterward.

The idea that there were any romantic feelings comes from two sources, Katherine's POV and Violet's. But when we look at the story from Will's perspective the meaning of his actions changes.

Let's start from the beginning.

Assumption 1: Some vague suspicions that he had siblings (backstory in Book 2, Elizabeth's POV)

Will was around 6-7 years old when Elizabeth was born. At that age, he would at least remember something, even if his mother never talked about the baby, even if she said that the child died or claimed that it never happened. Some memories, some half-forgotten moments must have stayed with him.

He knew for sure that his mother had a platitude of secrets, that she was afraid of something, and that she acted cautiously.

Assumption 2: Almost sure that he has/had sisters after his mother's death (Book 1, very close to the end, Will's POV )

Will is around 16, his mother is dying, covered in blood, murdered by unknown people. And she is talking nonsense. She is afraid of Will, so she attacks him, and she begs him not to hurt her girls.

Will was never stupid. And he had plenty of time to think about his mother's last words (and actions). And even though he wants to believe that she just didn't understand who he was, and what was going on, he is still our clever Will, and it's not that unbelievable, to at least suspect, that his mother really did have other children (girls), that she had to give up (and maybe that, somehow connected to her death).

He doesn't know if the girls are alive or where they are, but at that point, he must be almost sure that his mother had daughters.

Fact 1: Will knows both how his mother looks (obviously) and how Lady looks (Will's POV, Chapter 1)

Will is probably the only person alive, other than Devon and Sandy, who knows how Lady looks, and seeing her in the mirror he immediately recognizes that she has similarities to his late mother.

Conclusion 1: When he saw Katherine for the first time he, for sure, noticed that she looked very similar to his mother and to Lady.

Once again, Will is smart, and seeing Katherin for the first time, he understands that she must be his sister.

He tries to find out if she has any other family members, asking her about her cousins.

When she reaches to his neck, he instinctively pulls away. The same way he wanted to pull away from Lady in the mirror. Because in both instances he thinks about his mother.

And at the end of their first meeting, he says that he was wrong, and he won't do whatever he planned.

Fact 2: When Katherine kisses him, Will pulls back

Will never initiate or encourage any intimacy. Probably because he didn't feel that way about her, but also because she is his sister.

She kissed him.

He tried to warn her and protect her because he promised his mom.

And Violet is the one who talks about love and kisses, while Will wants to say “It’s not what you think” because it's not. And it's not what we, readers, think because at that point Will (who's still not stupid) very much suspects that he is either Dark King's descendant or Dark King Reborn.

So my conclusion is that the feelings he has for Katherine are mixed but there is very little indication that he felt anything romantic or passionate toward her.

The whole point of this long post is an attempt to prove that Pacat is playing with our minds via POVs, vague dialogs, and a backstory that is revealed way too late. And if we can't trust the story in these small details, we also can't trust it in much bigger points such as Dark vs Light Sides, the role of the Collar, and the story of The Betrayer.

Thoughts on Fallout 4 companions after playing the game for a bit and reading a whole lot of headcanons and fanfic and reactions:

- Hancock said he didn’t want to look at this face in the mirror and decides to do a drug instead of surgery. That’s some real self-hate there.

- There’s so much self-flagellation

- One the same note, ghouls can’t go under surgery?

- Someone mentioned that quests for the minuteman could have been handed out by the Freedom radio, instead of Preston, so that more backstory could be given to Preston.

- Nick and Deacon we’re probably thought to be too old and they didn’t want it to be creepy of hooking up with an older guy…(sigh)

- That it’s easy to write Sole to be compatible with everyone, since the game allows you to role play that character in many ways.

- MacCready’s backstory is both endearing and weird (because of him not going to see his son). I think the people who made the game didn’t want to bother with coding him leaving for a bit and then coming back, but… really? Should have changed the background story a bit to at least add that he needs to stay in case the medication didn’t work (or something like that)

- Deacon since he changes his face and has seemingly traveled could be in another Fallout game, any of them…

- Since Deacon changes his appearance, you get more attached to his voice. (He also has some very interesting things to say.)

- That when Deacon changes his face, Dezdemona is there the whole to verify it’s still him.

- Nick rolls with the punches, and has a very good emotional IQ, moreso than any of the other companions. He’s so even keel emotionally, that the Far harbor expansion hits a bit harder, because that’s where you see more of His emotion.

- Piper would be the best to adapt to our world

- Majority of the ways people can become your companions is weird why they even offer. (Like why would Hancock travel with Sole and not another person who wasn’t part of quest to raid their warehouse? Doesn’t Piper have other stories to investigate? Doesn’t Deacon have missions to do? Why isn’t Strong following Rex Goodman around? Nick has plenty of other cases to just run around randomly)

- Paladin Danse says that he wasn’t sure about Sole but also highly recommends you join the Brotherhood. So which is it? Also, I only did like one big quest for them and I am given a power armor.

- Is the reason they complain about picking up stuff is that eventually they have to carry some of it?

- Ada is a good companion, but doesn’t offer a perk, hence the reason probably not talked about a lot because no reason to travel with her

- I don’t know why the institute is doing what they are doing

- I really wish they could mark the clothes that can go under a person’s armor.

- Why are people wearing scarves? Is it cold there because it never seems to snow.

- I find it interesting that the companions all generally know each other or at least the have swapping dialogs that make it seem that way. (Curie has literally been locked away for 200 years.)

- They have veritbirds but no land vehicles. There’s supposedly caravans, but no wagons? Would it be too dangerous to have that?

I probably have more, but that’s for now

‎˃ ᵕ ˂ . . "if we ever break up I'd go back to my ex because I love them too much—you're my ex stupid."

premise. let's all pretend that in a state of emergency at the word of "breaking up" some are gonna lose all logic and not register the ex part. (I also was rather busy as of late so hence why this took so long to publish :D)

"if I broke up with you, I'd go back to my ex."

characters. malleus, trey, ace, deuce, leona, lilia, and vil.

cw. established relationship, fluff, crack, nothing too triggering so this is safe to proceed with.

🏷 : for @vyndiesel

malleus draconia

"I do not understand. are you implying you will?"

malleus doesn't have a single idea on why exactly you're telling him of your.. possibly future plans. for your information, he did not consent to knowing how your life will go if you guys do end up breaking up. which is honestly something he'd do over his dead body.

he'll automatically think there's something wrong going on cause why else would you make such an idea? did he do something that displeased you? if so, can you pretty please tell him so he can apologize and fix his non-existent mistake?

says something like 'then I apologize if I did something wrong. please don't leave.' and it's kinda sad cause this joke completely flew over his head and if you mentioned something about it he'll look up respond with. "but there is nothing flying over my head?"

his clueless self is enough for you to immediately deny his assumption.

oh. so he will be the 'ex'? honestly he only knew whatever that meant through lilia and his people would normally call them past lovers.. oh well, now he thinks that this is a sign that you would never leave him so = happy dragon.

trey clover

"well, will you?"

unlike malleus, trey has the brains and experience to come to the conclusion that you're playing a joke on him. he's that perspective to be able to discern what is true, and what is false. not the justice kind of course but like an eye for truth or sorts.

or maybe it's just that you share the braincells with the adeuce first years and he just so happens to be the one who's 'supervising' them when you're not around. he knows their tricks, and to be frank it's like you three + grim all collectively share the braincell.

plus.. who's to say that he hasn't been one of the people at the end of pranks. for a strict dorm, heartslabyul holds a few students who are too mischievous for their own good. yeah, he's looking at cater.

anyhow he's still a little suprised by your bold statement but who wouldn't honestly? just straight up admitting to your spouse, implying a break up is shocking itself. you aren't trying to actually break up with him, are you?

silence blends with his mind and it eventually fixes his logic. won't really tell you that he knows now and waits for you to tell him yourself. partially cause he wants to mess with you & see your reaction. a payback of sorts? goodluck putting him with him though :)

ace trapolla

"is this foreshadowing or something?"

truthfully ace's humor which is admittedly dark at times usually is the one to remove him from sticky situations, lessening the times where there's an atmosphere he doesn't want to deal with at all.

he's dumb (you are too <3) to put it simply, out of all of them he & deuce would be at the bottom to figure out the joke and won't get it at all cause he's too occupied about the breaking up part practically flying above his head and making fun of him.

literally will keep on pestering you throughout the day, I say that cause I think he's in your classes? unless I read the dialog wrong in the story. if you're chilling in your assigned seat he kicked the person who's supposed to be beside you to ask you more about "whatever that was about."

he's paranoid. and his mind will not be at rest until you fully explain whatever you meant by that! so you'd run out of patience with this mf and go: "ace. if we broke up who do you think is gonna be my ex?"

actually pauses to think about it. "oh. me?" "yeah." "...i knew that."

deuce spade

"did I do something wrong??"

thinking that he fucked up in the most unknowing way ever possible 🤝 deuce spade. it's like ace but he only yearns to ask you about it cause he thinks it will only make things worse by pestering you more about it.

goes to ace and the boy is like 'wtf are you talking about bro' cause it's literally 3 AM in the morning and your statement kept him up all night, ace just happened to be breaking the rules by staying up all night. so while chilling in bed ace just gets urgent spams from deuce.

since it's from text which means it's more clearer to register instead of text, and ace isn't the one in the relationship with you: naturally he gets it pretty quick but still messes with deuce by agreeing with him. "yea dude they're totally gonna break up w/ you, u fucked up horrendously"

HE DIDNT SLEEP THAT NIGHT??

so you feel bad cause you can see the darker patch of skin under his eyes and he's visibly trying not to look miserable. "so you're not mad?" "of course not." GIVE HIM HUGS OR ELSE.

leona kingscholar

"shut up you're disturbing my nap with your disturbing thoughts."

or, a translation for you : what the hell are you talking about, I am actually disturbed and perplexed by your words so I'm gonna pretend I don't care and that it totally isn't messing with my head.

you know what's the leona way to solving problems or things he doesn't wanna even think about? ding ding. if you thought it was sleep then you're completely right, just sleep it away for temporary relive!

until his dream had you both breaking up. he stayed up and reflected on his own life while grumbling.

well. you won't even dare to break up with him when you finally see how mighty he is won't you? he'll just have to show you how much you are cherished in his arms, and what you'll miss on if you break up.

"did you know you'd be the ex?" "..." silence and a little embarrassment. all this effort for what, a joke? he hates you. /j atleast the totally non-existent worries will fade away.

lilia vanrouge

"how mean.. going back to them just like that and leaving me in the dark.."

catches on the fastest. he applauds you in his mind on the attempt to catch him red handed though. it's a very smart idea!

so he just resorts to making you feel sorta bad cause he's quite entertained at the moment and you're the one that started this game anyways. wouldn't it be boring if he just catches your words and does nothing at all?

oh no. two can play at that game dear prefect. meanwhile you're confused at why lilia is suddenly more clingy than before. it seems like he's really intent on proving that there's nothing here to leave. nothing worth to anyways.

or an alternative : lilia gives you the cold shoulder for a 'prank' as well. it's only fitting for him to return your oh so cruel one atleast two times worse. after all, that's how things work in twisted wonderland.

will be very pleased when you finally start apologizing to him for the joke and just happily showers you in love as if nothing ever happened.

🚩

vil schoenheit

"you'd really leave someone like me? hmph. how crude. leaving your queen all alone."

he's offended really, are you seriously gonna leave him out of all people? the most beautiful man you'd ever lay your eyes on? and for what? don't you see what kind of jewel he had so graciously let you keep and admire everyday? for free?

vil starts looking a lot better than he used to, and his "used to" was always crazily beautiful in the first place and now he looks like a perfect sculpture god himself carved. like his skin is literally glimmering and smooth.. his hair looks much healthier.

it seems like he's put more serious effort into keeping himself healthy and beautiful. hell he was doing great academically but now he's better. geez, if you'd known your words would be able to pull this kinda power you would've not spoken in the first place.

^ cause it's worrying how much he might've exerted his energy.

"but vil you'd be the ex if I broke up with you." "that's even worse. don't you dare break up with me."

ChoiceScript Savepoint System Very Quickly

Hey guys,

@hpowellsmith made a great template for save points! It requires you to create another variable for every variable you have in your ChoiceScript game, so that it can store the old values to essentially "save"! This won't rely on third-party saving systems but is rather hard-coded into the game itself.

I realize that it can be a daunting task to create a whole other set of variables, especially if you already have many, many of them. (Looking at TSS' code, there are thousands!)

But I propose two super quick ways to automatically create all the variables you need for save points.

Find and replace.

Copy all your *create variables

Paste it into a Google Docs

On, PC, Ctrl+H to open up the dialog box for Find and Replace (link on how to find and replace on different platforms)

Search for "*create " (space included at the end) and replace it with *create save_

Hit "Replace All" and there you have your duplicated variables to paste into your startup (do so without replacing any of your old variables).

Bonus: you can instead replace it with *create save1_ , *create save2_ , etc. to have multiple save slots.

You can create all your needed variables in startup quickly with this, but there is still the issue of having to *set the variables to the new variables (when you're saving) or vice versa (when loading).

Hence the other way:

Save System Generator

I also made a program where, if you copy and paste all of your *create variables, it will automatically:

Give you code to put in your startup (the duplicated save variables)

Give you code that you use to save.

Give you code that you use to load.

I recommend you do it the way Hannah PS does in their template by calling a *gosub_scene.

Here are the step by step instructions on how to do this:

1. Prepare your *create variables. To clarify, you will only put in *create stuff into the program. Copy from your very first *create to your very last *create (the variables you want to save at least). Do not add any comments or additional code that is NOT *create. Do not have any additional spaces at the end (line breaks in between *create should be fine, but be more aware for potential errors).

2. Create a .txt file. In Hannah's template, the file is called "savegame.txt". You will want to make a *label save and a *label load that each *return (as depicted above).

3. Load up the program. Here is the link.

4. Pasting in your code. Paste in your code and immediately after your last *create, press enter, press $, and press enter again.

Note 1: You cannot use Ctrl+V or shortcut keys to paste in the code. You have to right click and paste it. Do not do this on mobile.

Note 2: You might want to do this in segments, as the program might have difficulty parsing through it, and you will more easily find errors in case they happen. Maybe every 30-50 variables to keep them bite-sized. I've tested inputting up to 70 unique variables to success.

5. Startup variables. After reading your input, it will give you code that you then have to add to your startup. Copy it by highlighting and right-clicking on it (do not use shortcut keys or do this on mobile).

6. Save. If you press S and enter, it will give you the code that you need to put in your savegame.txt under your *label save .

7, Load. If you press L and enter, it will give you the code you need to put in your savegame.txt under your *label load .

8. Using it. As in the template, you'll want to call on this with a *gosub_scene savegame load (if you want to load) or *gosub_scene savegame save (if you want to save).

And that's it! Please let me know if the program works incorrectly! 💕💕

hi hello, r u getting tired of my requests? Because another one is here!!! May i request a They/them reader, a Herrscher of the Void reader preferably. You can see i'm going crazy with all the honkai impact readers but i have seen nobody do it, excluding you ofc. This time is genshin! May i request Aether, Kaveh and Baizhu?

Hi Hiii! I'm not getting tired of your requests at all, dw! Though I am kinda burnt out ish, so I'll try my best to get all my current requests done! This one will be first since its the most recent one~ "𝓗𝓪𝓲𝓵 𝓶𝔂 𝓹𝓻𝓸𝓾𝓭 𝓺𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷, 𝓸𝓷 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓸𝓷, 𝓸𝓷 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓸𝓷." "𝓣𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝔀𝓪𝔁 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓮 𝓼𝓱𝓸𝔀𝓮𝓭 𝓲𝓽𝓼 𝓮𝓫𝓫 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓯𝓵𝓸𝔀" "𝓢𝓮𝓵𝓪𝓱, 𝓢𝓮𝓵𝓪𝓱, 𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓶𝓸𝓻𝓮" "𝓗𝓮𝓪𝓻, 𝓸𝓱 𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓻, 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓿𝓸𝓲𝓬𝓮𝓼 𝓽𝓻𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓮𝓭 𝓲𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓮." Genshin impact x HoV!NB!Reader. Characters included: 𝓐𝓮𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻, 𝙆𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙝, 𝔅𝔞𝔦𝔷𝔥𝔲 Reader pronouns: They / Them

Author's notes: I was unsure if you were referring to Kiana HoV or Sirin HoV, but technically they are the same, but also different, so I'll try to reference both some how. I also don't know which Aether we're talking about either, Abyss or Traveler, but it would make some more sense if it was abyss Aether to me. Also, to make it make even more sense, I decided to make the Reader a member of the abyss order. It just made sense to me if they were a part of it, considering them being the herrscher of the void, also unsure if you wanted this to be platonic or romantic, so... its maybe a bit of both ish? Reader's dialoge color.

𝓐𝓮𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻

For some reason, you remind him of someone... (*coughs* Unknown god *coughs*) but he shrugs off that feeling of doubt and familiarity. He believes you are as graceful as you are kind of evil, and he's all for it, especially if this is Abyss Aether we're talking about. Your powers are useful to the abyss, being able to remove almost all obstacles with just the snap of your fingers. Like the abyss heralds and mages, you're like an assistant to him, but you're closer to him than that of the rest of the abyss.

you, too, must have experienced the true nature of Teyvat through your own journey, whatever the true nature may be, just like he did. you wouldn't have joined him in the abyss order other wise, would you have? "Reader, fetch the abyss lectors for me, won't you? I require them for something." "Understood, Prince Aether."

"...Please just call me Aether, Reader. There's no need for formalities."

He sees a tiny bit of Lumine in you, hence why he's so attached to you, but he loves you just a bit more than a sibling, because though there are similarities, you are not Lumine, nor are you related by blood. and there may be a tiny bit of romance between you two, according to the rumors that circulate around the abyss order, that is, no one truly knows if they're true or not.

𝙆𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙝

At your first meeting, he was quite intimidated by your... aura. That abyssal aura that follows you around. At first, he labeled you an enemy, and, like any sane person who senses danger would, tried to fight you off, but a little later after that, he realized that maybe not all those who have committed some sin against the archons and thrive in the abyss are that bad... though humans like him can be so gullible... Despite the dark feelings in your heart that tell you "humans are worthless and pathetic." you can't help but feel the tiniest bit of sympathy when he meets with you in secret around the Ruins of Dhari, with this human substance known as... coffee, which he shares with you, and begins blabbering to you about how annoying his roommate is, and how he's in such a huge amount of debt. The urge to give him some of the mora you've stolen from other pathetic humans like himself is strong... "He never listens to any of my complaints! It's extremely annoying to deal with him everyday... You're lucky you don't have to live with the stupid acting grand sage of the academia..."

"Your life certainly sounds... interesting, mortal. Not even any of the abyss mages in which I command are as annoying as this... 'Alhaitham' sounds."

You've also grown to open up to him slightly, but you don't tell him anything of the abyss orders plans, right? ...Okay, maybe you told him some things... or maybe you told him too much... because now he might just be starting to doubt the archons and Celestia and the rest of human-kind just like how you and the rest of the abyss do.

𝔅𝔞𝔦𝔷𝔥𝔲

A human doctor who runs across a high ranked member of the abyss by chance... something no one could ever expect. not even Changsheng expected an encounter with such a high ranking abyssal being. Though despite your occupation... you couldn't help but to stop and assist the sickly human, instead of trying to actively kill him, despite knowing that what stood before you was nothing but a pathetic mortal in your eyes... something about him caused you to want to help him, so you had lead him back to Liyue Harbor discreetly, but on the way back, you continued to call him as such.

"Pathetic mortal human... I am only helping you out of my pure benevolence! I feel no sympathy for your weak and pathetic mortal self what so ever! I expect something in return for this!" "Yes, yes, I understand. I believe I have something that may satisfy your request back at Bubu Pharmacy."

"Baizhu... are you sssssure we can really trussssst this abyssssssal being?"

"Come now, Changsheng, they were kind enough to guide us back home, its the least I could do as compensation for wasting their precious time.~"

He then proceeds to give you plenty of expensive looking items and herbs and some medicine as compensation for... "wasting your precious time.", although you don't really have any use for these, you reluctantly accept them anyways, and then proceed to have even more random encounters with the human doctor and snake companion in the wilderness.

Hello!! I really like the characters in your story and I was wondering if you have any tips for new writers regarding that topic (like how to flesh out a character, write dialog etc😭)

Ooh I feel so honored by this!! Thanks 😊

Ok so I don't know if I'm the best at giving advice, but here's something that I think helps me??? I dunno. It'll sound silly but I only ever write characters that I imagine I could fall in love with a little. It helps if you're in love with your characters bc that way you'll enjoy writing them.

I realize this sounds silly and possibly weird. I don't know how else to explain it. But like, I guess you might want to try and fall in love with the characters you're writing, and if you can't, you should ask yourself what's stopping you. Because then you can figure out whether or not they feel like actual people.

Maybe I should approach this from another angle.

All my characters have some little part of me that I intrinsically relate to. From there, I let it branch out. For example, a lot of Flo's struggles relate to my own. That's all, we don't have anything more in common, really. But me wanting to write a person with these struggles was basically the foundation of his character.

Reem--- her love of music was the foundation. Reem to me is what music would be like if music was a person. I love music, hence I love Reem.

Ok this is all very strange and abstract-sounding, but I hope it helped a little bit??

At the end of the day, my advice is: try to relate to your characters as best you can. Everything else will come naturally. But I might be biased, given that characters and dialogues are my very favorite part of writing.

We need to talk about Claire (I'm so late to the party I know, forgive me)

I procrastinated a bit to start The Bear S2 for some reason, so when I finally started and almost immediately disliked Claire I thought maybe it was just my biased opinion. But no, not entirely at least, apparently A LOT of people disliked Claire. Makes sense, she's an all-tell-no-show nothing burger of a character. But why? This show is amazing, can't be that it's bad writing, not specifically for one character.

I saw a few people theorizing that she's bland like that because the way we're seeing her is the way Carmy sees her. The old tale of falling in love with the imaginary version you created of someone instead of the real person they are. That would make sense, they chose to do it in a extremely annoying way, but it does make sense. Carmy had a crush on her as a teenager but never acted on it, so he probably already had this imaginary version of her ready to go since he was younger. And that's why she seems exactly like that, an imaginary woman idealized by a teenage boy with a crush. The extreme close-ups and ASMR-dialog every scene she's in plays into that as well, we're seeing this very narrow vision of this character. Watching her feels so forced and unreal, because it is.

And even (almost) every male character in the show being like "Claire is so perfect" would play into that same ingenue-trope fantasy these men created of this girl (not in a weird way, btw), because none of them really know-know her as a person.

If that's the case, if that's what they were going for, bravo! And I'm all in to see how this cracks, how Carmy comes to realize it's not healthy to try and date the idealized version of a real person because, sooner or later, reality will prevail and not correspond to the imagination, leaving everyone disappointed.

If that's what they were going for, I'm excited to see how it plays out in S3. This will be some very interesting development in Carmy's arc. - And then we'll need Syd's to be pushed in a similar fashion (but with different means) as well. Hence the Marcus plot. - But ok, that last part is very-very biased speculation, for sure.

---

Or not, or I'm all wrong. I am delusional after all, you already knew that by my last post. Curious to see what you guys think though.

#sydcarm #syd x carmy #carmy x syd #carmy x sydney #sydney x carmy #chef's kiss #we really need to agree on one true tag for the ship for real #not saying claire is secretely an awful person that kills puppies for fun #she can very well be a nice person but still #no real person is perfect and idealizing someone as such will always only lead to a bad outcome simply because it's an unreal standard
