hello everyone !! somehow or another, the Cinderella Phenomenon charms are finally complete !! there are 8 characters in this charm series, and I'll be releasing a preview of them every three days according to route order, starting with Rod :"))
fun fact: referencing the jasmines drawn in the corner of Rod's gallery in Evermore, his favorite flower is most likely the downey jasmine specifically, which doesn't have much of a scent unlike the common jasmine
! notes:
the design reveal posts will be scheduled posts as i'm on holiday, so i'll be slower in replying to any questions/concerns regarding the charms
pre-orders will open sometime in Nov, so keep an eye out or follow for more updates <3

ROUND 1C, MATCH 3 OUT OF 8!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda Under the Cut:
Nerissa:
[No Propaganda Submitted]
Rod:
Rod has a fairy tale curse based on the little mermaid. He traded his voice to become a prince so the girl he liked would notice him, but if his loved one does not return his feelings, he will turn into seafoam. The only way to counteract the curse is for the loved one to return his feelings, or for him to kill his loved one with a knife brought to him by his sibling.
Rod has, like many other in the series, had a Fairytale Curse put on him. In his case he becomes mute, only able to speak from the plush rabbit, Sebby, that sits on his shoulder. In his path you find out it's because he wanted to become a prince to marry his childhood friend, Viorica. Like the original Little Mermaid he will become seafoam die if his love is unrequited or he doesn't kill her lover.

Hi! You said in your post that you accepted requests for Cnderella phenomenon. I read your rules and I have two prompts that I believe that fit your rules. The first prompt is a Lucette/Rod soulmates AU. The second prompt is Lucette's wedding with Rod. Sorry if I misunderstood any of your rules. Since you have an AO3 account, you can fullfil my prompts there if you like the ideas. I can't put the link, but you just have to search for the "otome games SFW plot bunnies" prompt meme challenge.

♦ redamancy (1/?) ♦
► tags/warnings: Rod x Lucette, Soulmate!Au, Implied/referenced child abuse.
► words: 1216
► summary: Fate, Lucette discerned, never had been particularly kind to her. It was a bothersome thing. An annoyance, really. She has been born with everything, all the pretty dolls and jewellery that any girl could ever dream of. Servants waiting on her, ready to realise her every whim. She had everything. Everything except a soulmate. ► a/n: Also being posted on AO3 ♡ ► Masterlist
“Mother, are you and father in true love? Like in the fairytales?”
It seemed like the wrong thing to say, judging by how her mother’s lips quirked downwards, displeased. 
Anyone living in the palace was accustomed to the tiny intricacies of Hildyr’s expressions. The way her brow furrowed in annoyance, or the specific way she held herself when she was angry.
It was an important skill to acquire while living in the palace, but no servants, not even the king himself were quite as adept as Lucette, the crown princess.
She loved her mother, truly.
Even when she was harsh, her mother would always be truthful and teach her the most valuable lessons.
That’s why she learned not to bother her, to be able to read her moods to guarantee that she wasn't being a burden.
That’s why she mustn’t waste her time with questions unless they’re truly important.
Still, as silly as it seemed, knowing this was of the utmost importance to Lucette.
At her age, a soul mark was bound to appear anytime and she needed to be prepared!
“I thought I forbid you to speak of fairytales. Have you been reading them?”
“N-no, Mother.” Lucette said, truthfully. She considered stealing one or two books but figured it wouldn’t be worth her mother’s ire. “I overheard someone in the palace talking about it today.”
“Then I have to find that person and make sure that they know what an appropriate topic of conversation in the palace is.”
“B-but mother, the true love in fairytales sounds so nice! Do you think I can fall in love with a prince?”
Her mother’s brows furrowed in annoyance. Lucette could feel it in the air— the static-y tension that arose every time she made a misstep.
She didn’t mean to insist. Didn’t mean to speak out of turn, but she really wished to know why.
Weren’t her parents in love? Why are they married then? 
She heard whispers in the corridors about mother not being blessed with a marking. About her father being bound to another. Were these things true? Were they not just nasty rumours?
Hildyr’s hand touched Lucette’s chin, gently raising her head so that her mother could properly see her.
She smiled. It was the same smile she always gave before giving her a lesson.
Her answer wouldn’t please Lucette, she could already tell. None of mother’s lessons were ever things she’d wanted to hear, after all, but there was no use in being told comfortable lies only to have the truth revealed later on.
Lucette was a big girl of ten and the crown princess, she more than needed to be told the truth.
“Dearest one, true love like that does not exist.” She said, firmly. Lucette did her best to hide the disappointment she felt at the statement. “The love between mother and child is the truest kind. It cannot be replicated by anything else.” 
“But… What about soulmates?”
“All other kinds of love are an illusion. My love is all you will ever need. Do you understand me, my heart?”
“Yes, mother.”
Fate, Lucette discerned, never had been particularly kind to her.
It was a bothersome thing. An annoyance, really.
She has been born with everything, all the pretty dolls and jewellery that any girl could ever dream of, Servants waiting on her, ready to realise her every whim.
She had everything.
Everything except a soulmate.
She used to yearn for it, at a young age. 
Stand in front of the mirror and check every inch of her body for a mark, any mark, any indication that her soulmate was there and that they existed.
But it had been for nought. No markings ever appeared and she had been burdened with the knowledge that she was, in fact, alone.
It seemed fitting. Her father never loved her, he didn’t even like her most days, the servants would at best shower her with apathy and her own kingdom despised her despite Lucette not having ever set foot outside of the castle walls.
Mother had been Lucette’s only source of love, but she was long gone now, leaving only her lessons in her wake.
Romantic love, her mother taught her, was an illusory thing.
A useless invention. Something made to distract people from their duties.
Soulmates were much the same. An invisible shackle bound to your ankle. A mysterious magic made to limit people’s potential, a weakness.
It was a good thing Lucette didn’t have one, she had said, these things only cause heartbreak. They could only stop her from achieving greatness, like her mother.
Not long after Lucette’s questions about soulmates, exposing one’s soulmark and even the mention of fated ones made the list of the unmentionable topics in the castle, with strict punishment for noncompliance.
And with that, for years following, Lucette barely thought about it.
Emelaigne had a soul mark.
Because of course, she did.
Her new step-sister had a way of always managing to get things that Lucette had failed to acquire, even if she seemed to be a failure in all other regards.
Still, she had a soul mark that she loved to show off:
A white carnation on her left shoulder.
Purity .
Luck .
Pure love .
What a fucking joke .
Emelaigne’s mother, Ophelia, also had one:
A single forget-me-not, that seemed to perfectly match King Genaro’s.
Lucette had never even seen his marking before, the small flower on his wrist, against his pulse, being hidden by cufflinks and gloves before her mother’s death.
The only person in that family who didn’t seem quite as comfortable showing his soul mark off was Rod, who scarcely even mentioned it.
It made him slightly less intolerable than the rest of his family, in her eyes. It wasn’t strong praise, since he carried his own brand of despicable, but Lucette’s hatred towards him lessened by his inclination to keep to himself and not rub her inadequacy in her face, like his sister seemed to often do (even if, admittedly, accidentally).
Still, he had one.
She was certain of it, since Ophelia and Emelaigne would always talk about when he’d meet them instead of awkwardly side-stepping the topic like her father often did with her, when he even remembered her lack of soulmate.
Lucette had no idea what it was or where it was located, but the existence of Rod’s soulmate was a certainty.
(Distantly, she wondered what his mark looked like, but she banished these frivolous thoughts as soon as they appeared)
It was bad enough to be forced into playing happy families with commoners, but even worse when she was made to feel so out of place when this was supposed to be her court. Her family.
Maybe this is why her father showed them so much love and care.
They had marks.
They had a soul bond.
They were, by definition, loveable . 
Lucette was no such thing.
He heard it often, Servants in the corridors whispering about how she didn’t have a mark because she lacked a soul. These cutting remarks bothered her far more than she ever cared to admit, even if they came from those below her.
(Distantly, she wondered if their jokes had a small backing in truth).
Not for the first time, she wished they’d all disappear.

I’ve figured out that Cinderella Phenomenon and Nameless have similar love interest line-ups.
Just hear me out. I’ll prove it.
The long-haired pretty boy who goes back and forth on whether they like you and also crossdresses at some point.
Tumblr media
The older, flirtatious guy who doesn’t have everything figured out and deserves a few of the slaps he gets.
Tumblr media
The heroic one who vows to protect/save you and has one of the darker routes in his respective game.
Tumblr media
The soft, good boy with and supernatural powers who is treated as younger by those around him.
Tumblr media
The problematic one.
Tumblr media
..........
See what I mean?

Cinderella Phenomon: A Free Visual Novel
Tumblr media
A few months ago I stumbled upon this game through steam. To my surprised and delight it was free! I downloaded the game and honestly was so in love with the game. The art is stunning, the characters are likeable and interesting, and I even enjoy the MC herself. Despite her struggles and difficulty to open up to others in the beginning of the story, she really grows and learns valuable lessons.
Here is the story:
Tumblr media
Here are the love interests!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My Overall Thoughts:
I really enjoyed the game. I like how I can easily play the entire route in one sitting! Keeps me more immersed in a game that doesn’t rely on currency to select the options you desire. There are good and bad endings which keeps you on your toes. The supporting characters are also very intriguing. I didn’t feel like they were mindless background characters, each of them had a purpose and propelled the story forwards. My only complaint is that you feel that you must play all of the routes to get a full grasp of the entire story and the subplots. However, this motivated me to play all the routes anyways as I wanted to explore the world more and understand the MC and her past better. Speaking of the MC, I was worried at first that she would be your typical tsundere character that never grows out of her behaviours but I was wrong. She did grow and you can see how her personality changes and how she treats others is quite a difference from the beginning to the end of the story. Can I also say the ost is an absolute banger? I spent so much time sitting back and listening to the music
There is a sequel called Cinderella Phenomon Evermore which will be released on November 27th, 2020!

youtber au...
i tweeted this before but here’s my dumb self-indulgent cindphenon youtuber/streamer au:
Lucette doesn’t stream but occasionally posts aesthetic study videos on youtube. sometimes seasonal lookbooks with her sister Emelaigne. guests occasionally on a few of the streams. chat goes crazy whenever they see her. 
Fritz is the streamer that accidentally got famous for never being able to complete horror games. highlights include just standing up and walking around the room with his head in his hands. ropes his gf Lucette in by the third hour to help him, but she also gets too scared so they shout until Varg comes in to help them complete it. then they backseat play.
Varg is coincidentally also a very famous streamer for speedruns, breaking games mechanisms by exploiting coding loopholes AND causing unnecessary drama for kicks. Fritz’s twin. definitely caused a lot of confusion when their two worlds collided. 
Karma is definitely a beauty guru on youtube no i do not take critisism. does makeup looks + reviews mostly, but also posts fashion tips and lookbooks as well. the most drama he got into was when Varg called him ugly and they had a super childish fight on twitter about it that consisted mostly of elementary school level insults. he still occasionally disses Varg in videos and Varg does the same. its an inside joke in their community now.
Waltz mostly streams niche indie games and visual novels. gets really into dating sims and does stupid levels of grinding/resetting to get the chara he wants. does super indepth reviews of the games with Rumpel, and gets really passionate about otome game female protagonists. defo does monthly charity streams.
Rumpel is DEFINITELY the guy on youtube with the most soothing voice ever and narrates anything from horror stories to romance short stories. does reviews with Waltz about visual novels, and also independent book reviews. has a podcast that is infinitely more popular bc he doesn’t know how to advertise and word of mouth did him good.
Rod makes vocal and piano covers + original songs on youtube, but never shows his face. streams improvised medleys of requested songs via chat weekly. doesn’t talk much, fans go crazy when he talks normally. there’s defo a vid on youtube compiling all the times he’s spoken normally. occasionally plays rhythm games but doesn’t stream that. no one knows that he’s the viral meme rhythm game guy.
edit bonus:
Myth has a youtube channel dedicated to debunking conspiracy theories and investigating cryptids from the safety of his room. he drops some pretty damning one liners that makes ppl think maybe...maybe he Knows what he’s talking about (he does. he also has a pinboard with the yarn strings.). Varg, local drama starter, thinks he’s a joke and calls him out bc any TRUE supernatural hunter should be out there in the woods, and OBVIOUSLY nessie should rank higher than mothman. Myth mostly ignores his comments but does make a very snide video especially to debunk nessie.

Like the Air He Breathes
Rod/Lucette from Cinderella Phenomenon.
Prompt: “I shouldn’t be in love with you.” From @trulycertain​.
Set a couple years or so after Rod’s good ending.
**********
It had finally happened. Lucette had a suitor. And Rod felt like he’d been dropped into an abyss.
Even without the presentation ball she had stubbornly refused to throw, even with her mother’s reputation holding the nobles back, it was only a matter of time before the offers of marriage started coming in. And now the prince of a neighboring country was staying at the palace. Rod hated the bastard, with his charming smiles and flawless manners. Not everyone could be born into royalty; the man didn’t have to flaunt it. Or to make his intentions toward Angielle’s crown princess so abundantly, unmistakably clear. 
As if that prince could ever be worthy of her. As if he could know how precious her hard-won smiles were. As if he could see beyond her defensive mask and truly appreciate her honesty and determination. The man had no idea how strong and loyal and loving she was. He saw a royal title and a pretty face and thought that was enough. But she deserved more; she deserved to be understood and treasured for every particle of her being. This fop, he wasn’t the one who could give her that.
At least the prince hadn’t offered an actual proposal. Yet. But the way he looked at Lucette, as if he had some kind of right to her, was infuriating enough.
Rod knew he shouldn’t be hiding. Lucette would want to talk to him. And yet here he was, holed up in the library, stubbornly avoiding the outside world.
He needed time to think.
Of course, he’d always known this time would come. They both had. The woman he loved was the crown princess, future queen of Angielle, with all the duties and responsibilities of her title. She would need to bear children. The kingdom needed an heir. That meant finding a husband.
And that husband… could not be him.
Rod pressed a hand to his chest. This must be what drowning felt like.
He could never marry her. It was a truth that he’d always known but had never allowed himself to face. He’d buried himself in the present, in their love, in his need for her, and forced all thoughts of the future into a tiny corner of his mind. Now that future was here, glaring him in the face, and he couldn’t ignore it anymore.
She would marry another man, and there wasn’t a single thing he could do.
Despite his attempts to confront this reality, something within him kept shutting down, bringing up a wall to protect him from the truth. Against his will, his mind returned to the fantasies he’d always known he shouldn’t have. Lucette in a wedding dress, walking down the aisle towards him, her beautiful smile lighting up the room. Days and nights spent in her company, simply loving her, without the need to hide what they had. He imagined playing with their children, just himself and Lucette and the little ones that looked like her, and he wanted it so badly it hurt.
As if to torture him, the visions transformed, and now Rod saw that wretched prince in his place, holding her, kissing her, making her happy. His chest ached, and it was hard to breathe. Would he ever remember how to breathe comfortably again?
He didn’t notice that she had entered the room until she sat down beside him. His body tensed, but he couldn’t look at her. If he did, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from throwing his arms around her. And he didn’t have any right to do that.
She said nothing. He said nothing. They sat there, so close they could touch, neither of them moving an inch. Her presence filled his senses. Despite all his attempts to calm himself, his fingers itched to reach for her. If only he could take her in his arms and forget the world. If only… 
…if only…
She was the one to break the silence. “I am going to refuse him.”
He swallowed the lump rising in his throat. “Why?”
“You know why.”
There were so many things he wanted to say. Thank you. I love you. Don’t ever leave me. I want to be with you forever. 
He closed his eyes. “That’s not enough reason.”
“It is to me.”
“And how long are you going to put it off?” At last, he found the courage to look at her. She was watching him solemnly, her jaw set in determination. Gods, he loved that look of hers, the one that said nothing in the world would stop her. With an effort, he remembered what he was going to say. “You know this can’t last forever.”
“There has to be a way.”
When she said things like that, he couldn’t help but hope. It was impossible, but — how could he give her up? How could he let go of a love strong enough to shatter both their curses? Surely she belonged with him; surely it wasn’t insurmountable; surely, surely— 
A choked noise escaped his throat, and in the next moment, they were in each other’s arms. He didn’t know who had moved first. It didn’t matter. She was warm and soft and beautiful, and right now, she was his. 
And he was hers. Whether she was married to another man or not, he would always be hers.
Her fingers clutched the back of his shirt, holding him tight to her body. “I am not giving you up.”
“Lucette…”
She shook her head, her cheek next to his. “I do not care.”
“But—”
“I do not care.”
He forced the words out. “You have to care. The kingdom needs you.”
“And I will not abandon it. Or you. There is a way, and I will find it.”
He couldn’t fight anymore. Turning his head towards hers, he captured her lips in a kiss so sweet it sent shivers down his spine. It was wrong, he knew it was wrong, but he didn’t have the strength to resist her anymore. ���Lucette. Are you sure?”
“Completely.”
There was a time when she would have accepted their fate. He knew that to be true. When they had first started this, they had not lied to themselves about what the future held. Now, it was different. He’d loved her so much, even back then, but he’d never known how utterly essential she would become to him, like the air he breathed. How impossible it would be to lose her.
“I shouldn’t be in love with you,” he whispered.
Her answering smile was wry, just a tiny quirk of her lips. “And I should not love you. Yet here we are.”
He kissed her again, gently, savoring her lips just a little longer before pulling away. “What will we do now?”
“Perhaps—” she started, then stopped, then started again. “Perhaps it is time to tell the king.”
