[noha-ahbel]

Soooo, I just made my OCs on the main games I'm playing right now, and I decided to share.

In order it goes:

Noh'a: FFXIV

Mikhail: @vendetta-if

Ri'en: @justpked Fell Star IF

Gwen: @the-kingshound

Sol: What in hell is bad

Noah: Obey me!

I don't really know why Tumblr butchered the perfectly fine image, but I still wanted to show the thing I made.

HEY LOOK FIRST TUMBLR POST!! in 2023 (vile)

I drew my favourite RO from one of my favourite IFs <3

Its Yniol! From @the-kingshound

I fell in love w him from the very start ngl, I love all the ROs in this IF but SOMETHING ABOUT YNIOL IS SOOOOO

I'd die for him. So would my MC wholeheartedly

Just some cute little trad. art because I was too lazy to get my ipad

What are some of your favorite WIPs?

Oh this is gonna be a long one, also keep in mind I’m only listing five ! There are so many that we’d just be here all day if I wrote them all down😅

@never-never-land return to never landed was the first WIP IF that took my heart! I just loved how each character was developed in just the RO asks alone, plus the demo was just amazing! I cannot wait to see what they do in the future ^^

@doriana-gray-games The Adventures of Sherlock Homes was an WIP that had my attention the beginning it was released! I loved the Sherlock series and the books, so the chance to play Sherlock was an opportunity I couldn’t miss! Plus romancing Watson and lestrade….well I couldn’t t miss that either!

Kals @the-kingshound is so good! I love the concept and just the characters are amazing! I also love the fact that in the demo (which you should check out) you can choose to be silent! Just the small details that you can choose is amazing.

@absentia-if wip named Absentia caught my attention the second I looked at the ROs! (Especially one being the Ex) I just love the little snippets of them along with the world they live in. I’m also interested in the kidnapper that we may or may not know, mystery’s all around~

@thesecrimsonstrings-if is such a good concept! The both supernatural aspect and the soulmates had me hooked the second I read the intro post. Im so excited for future chapters!!

Hello! Might I ask if there are any recommended IFs where you can play explicitly as an asexual MC without being locked out of romancing characters? Becuase there had been times where chosing to play as ace resulted in some games removing all romances completely, Thank you for your time!

I've heard of almost all these things!! The only ones new to me, aside from the VNs, is Wolfsbane, Vapolis, Citadel, and Mind Games: Trepidation, so I will keep a particular eye out for those!! :)

[absentia-if]

I'm looking for more interactive fiction games to play and I was wondering if you have any particular favourites?

I’m a hermit when it comes to the community as a whole— mainly staying in my own little corner, but I have been able to meet some amazing Author’s during my stay.

Citadel by @bouncyballcitadel is an absolutely amazing medical drama IF. An amazing cast of characters, both romance and non-romance, and real life experiences, and knowledge, fueling the writing in such a way that makes you feel extremely connected to the plot and the MC. I highly recommend it.

An Affair of the Heart by @doriana-gray-games is another amazing IF that I strongly recommend. Not only because I absolutely adore Dori, the sweetest of sweethearts, but she makes the world of Sherlock Holmes come to life in such a way that I can’t even truly describe— Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would be proud of her, I can tell you that much.

Novaturient by @kalorphic is an amazing spy IF that has a lovely cast of characters. It’s not as serious, or it’s not supposed to be as serious, as some of the other titles that I’ve mentioned, but it’s such a fun time all the same— it doesn’t have too much in the form of a demo, as of yet, but I think you’ll enjoy getting to know the cast on Ella’s blog all the same. (She also has another blog @ellawrites-if that I think you should check out too.)

Next in Line by @nextinline-if has been a fun read since I’ve started it. Not to mention Vi is an absolute delight to speak with. You have a little bit of everything when it comes to the romances, and who doesn’t love being royalty too? I think you’ll have a grand time with the story, and getting to know everything you’d wish to know about it, as I can’t recommend it enough.

Abyssal by @theabyssal is a great game with an amazing premise— playing Death itself ticking a lot of boxes for a variety of people. It’s quite angsty, as I feel like I should warn you, but the writing is immaculate and you’ll be pulled into the inner workings of a world that you have to find a place in once more. Plus, the ROs are absolutely amazing too.

A World Without You by @jaunefleurwrites has been an amazing read. It deals with the realities of death while still being alive, an ever growing entity that always looms over us all, but it’s still an enjoyable read even if it does have a sadder undertone. I highly recommend it (plus Damin is a sweetheart).

The King’s Hound by @the-kingshound is an Arthurian IF that I think you’ll find yourself drawn to. It has found family written all over it, with tinges of angst and drama strewn within, that I think you’ll enjoy. It’s an amazing story, with an amazing cast, and I think you’ll enjoy it.

Past Imperfect by @past-imperfect-if is an IF with only a singular RO, that’s semi-customizable, and only has prologue released so far, but I strongly implore you to check it out as I think you’ll enjoy the premise of it. (Plus, my friend is the main creator for it and I know she’ll absolutely love to have someone as wonderful as you check out her story.)

Kingdoms and Empires by @kingdoms-and-empires is an amazing high fantasy game that I think you’ll enjoy. It has a wonderful world, that seems dynamic around the MC, with an amazing cast of characters that I think you’ll find yourself growing attached to. If you enjoy fantasy, being a royal, and wish to be along for a long ride? This story is definitely for you.

The Scars I Live With by @thescarsilivewith-if is also an amazing premise that I absolutely adore. It doesn’t have a demo yet, but I think the cast of characters that have been introduced as well as the world building will be able to be just enough until one is released.

If you want more of my stories? I have three other main stories that I’m working on— even if they’re on a semi-hiatus as of now.

Heart of Flames is a dragon rider story where you take on the role of one of the newest dragon riders within Haven, and it expands across the world of Gallinia as a whole. @unforeseenflame

Scandal is based off the show of the very same name— Scandal (by Shonda Rhimes). It’s genderlocked female though, just want to warn you. @nightingale-interactive

Path of Fire is a dragon-shifter IF wherein the MC is the last of the Dracaryean and their journey in discovering what that truly means— not only for them but for Ioria as a whole. @eleanawrites

#absentia #all of these are WIPs by the way #I know that I’ve missed a lot #but these were all I could think of off the top of my head #asks #ask #anonymous

[bigger-bluer-moon]

some of my faves from IF games I've been playing recently!

from left to right: F!Auryn from Ouroboros (@louroth), Charon from Fields of Asphodel (@chrysanthemumgames), and M!Evaine from The Kings Hound (@the-kingshound)

put their designs one at a time under the cut!

[beeanca-writing]

What IFs do you think don't face the issue of "blank slate" MCs? :O

That's all I've ever seen (aside from EFC) so I'd love to find some that have interesting MCs!

Some of these MCs are more customizable than others, but these are all IFs with interesting MCs (who feel like they're actually part of the story's world) I personally recommend:

Larkin by @larkin-if

Remember, You Will Die @vapolis

Gonzague @gonzague-if

Defiled Hearts @defiledheartsblog

Whisper in the Dark @whisper-game

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - An affair of the heart @doriana-gray-games

Zorlok @zorlok-if

The King's Hound @the-kingshound

Northern Passage @northern-passage

#there's more im sure but i got tired LOL

[fallenlightsif]

So who would your romance options romance in other games?

Okay, here’s the ask I messed up posting last night lol! This took way longer than I wanted it to because it was really hard to decide!

Florian: I think I’ve said this before (?) but Arthur from @the-kingshound because he’s very loving and supportive and Florian definitely needs that. He’s also an example of nobility that isn’t toxic, which Flor also desperately needs (that and a hug).

Marcella: K de la Renta from Golden by @milaswriting because she’d want to find out what was beneath the surface and proceed to fall ass over feet in love (as she does).

E: Kallias from @greatprotector-if because they might actually be a good influence. E is so repressed and would be hella flustered so it’d be hilarious. Then again, E is also used to being a babysitter so it fits.

Ari: Jun Hyuga from @mata-aetara-if because she loves a challenge. She could beat his ass and then proceed to heal him when he’s being an idiot, so obviously it’s a match made in heaven.

Dimitri: Gotta be Xander from @unwilling-souls-if because he’d want to know why he’s like that and he’d be intrigued by him and then trip and fall into love lmfao.

Orion: He would totally romance someone like Sebastian from @infamous-if because at his core he’s a sucker for sweet and slow romances with lots of longing. Honorable mention to Orion also from Infamous because that would be funny and very confusing.

Rowan: Noah from Novaturient by @kalorphic because, let’s be real, Rowan is moronsexual. They’d also totally help with the taking over the world thing; that’s definitely a Rowan thing to do.

Kira: Hannie Blackthorne from @thrill-seeker-if because she loves a good rivalry and would also make them hand made knitted goods with fae magic. Would protect them with her life.

Cier: I think Grayson Donohue by @if-mirrormine because he longs for that kind of devotion and loyalty. Would be just as loyal in return and also would love the cuddling.

Ilaria: This one was especially hard but I landed on Marco from Blood Moon by @barbwritesstuff because he might actually be able to make her smile. She’d fall pretty hard and fast after that.

BONUS!

Ezrah: Levi Harcourt from The Spirited: Origins by @yuveim because he totally has a thing for haunted boys that are good at cuddling.

You should make @the-kingshound drag @jaunefleurwrites to the wedding for it to be interesting.

Ooo that would be fun!! When I’m giving some cake to @the-kingshound , both Cheesy and @jaunefleurwrites will be fist fighting on the dance floor with gremlins cheering!!

#towmr gremlins #Cheesy pepper gremlin #the kingshound if #Jaune if #this wedding is going to be amazing

I’ve been playing this if game and my adhd brain decided “hey yknow what would be beneficial right now. Drawing all of your mcs siblings and parents” despite having other projects

So have my boy Cian’s family! I still need to draw him in full but here’s this

Also! Please play @the-kingshound! It’s very fun!

#my art #digital art #if character #the kings hound #Cian #every time drawing one of them was always “DAMN BITCH YOU NEED THEARPY #why yes Cian shares a blank expression with some of his siblings why do you ask? :3 #little thing I just thought of #there’s gonna be a bit of a barrier between Cian and his mom because Cian is mute and if she signs uh #a missing finger kinda hinders a lil #which if you look at it symbolically that kinda sums up their relationship huh #anyway I’ll stop rambling

[vapolis]
