For the non-virgin LIs: How did their first times go?

❤ V Sinclair: Soooo awkward. Not the actual act itself but definitely the events leading up to and after it. V basically went up to them like "We're going to bang tonight. Here's the hotel's name, don't be late." It was shortly after V got their heir status demoted so they had this weird "co-workers with benefits" thing going on for a while.

❤ O Belmont: Like V, the act itself wasn't terrible but the events leading up were. Except instead of being awkwardly funny, Belmont's were... more fucked up. It was with a "family friend" and there was a huge age gap .... I'll let you put the rest of the pieces together.

❤ Ana + Tas: Ana's first time was with Tas so needless to say, it was a significant and loving moment where the couple officially confirmed their feelings for each other! Meanwhile, Tas had a few flings before but nothing too serious. He was a bit of a budding man-whore before they got together lol.

❤ Wes Clark: Oh my god, I'm surprised the man didn't like, just kneel over dead with embarrassment. There were two attempts, the first one was a baker's daughter who always sneaked him extra bread rolls. They both had no idea what they were doing plus an ill-timed sexual revelation on her part. Once his pride was fully healed, he ended up saving up his paycheck to try again with someone more uh, experienced. He nearly died from embarrassment again when the woman loudly bragged that she would've "gave him one for free" if she knew what he was hiding underneath those tousers 😏

❤ REDACTED: Oh boy, ooooh boy. REDACTED's first time was with a personal rival so as you can imagine, some serious hate sex took place that day. The poor bastard woke up the next day shell-shocked, covered in bite marks, and REDACTED's smug face smirking down at them. Actually, took them out of commission for the rest of the day and ended up missing a shot at an important work assignment that REDACTED got instead so was it all planned? 🤔🤔

I can only imagine my MC being all flirty and extravagant, only interested in marrying someone for their money until she meets a certain policeman........

......... Now she's in a corner with a huge flask of vodka while having an existential crisis because she has to marry someone rich but is in love with a tsundere who dislikes rich people, lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

In your MC's defense, Wes is also around the corner, downing a bottle of whiskey because he's in love with a "flashy brat" and he hates it~

I was reading the pet name post and Redacted... are they part Arab? Since habibi (habibti would be the feminine form, btw) is exclusively an Arabic endearment/not Italian (at least from what I know about Italian). Just genuinely curious, because as an Arab I was surprised to see that.

Yes, they are! I think I mentioned it before but REDACTED is Arabic on their father's side and Italian on their mother's!

Also, thanks for the form tip! I've always heard Habibi used interchangeably so I always forget the difference lol

I am going to be honest, I expected Mordecai to be shorter, but.. This will do just fine.👁👁

What can I say? I like them tall and awkward lol

Since It's Ramadhan Mubarak, I was wondering what would ROs act around MC who's fasting?

Ah, hello friend! Ramadhan Mubarak! I saw this ask floating around a few other if blogs and I was hoping to get one too!

All the ROs are incredibly respectful and supportive of the MC's culture and religion! However, they still have their own way of supporting you through the month.

(this is all relationship stage btw)

❤ V Sinclair: Has a strict schedule but is more than happy to change it up so they can still share meals with you. That includes diligently waking up for suhoor alongside you.

❤ Mordecai Sinclair: "Not even water??" Super curious and always offers to fast with you. He's a pretty good fasting partner but good luck waking him up before sunrise lol

❤ O Belmont: Super impressed by your level of restraint. They'll fast alongside you for the first day and gives up alcohol for the rest of the month.

❤ Ana + Tas: Ana is very mindful of your feelings and makes sure not to eat anything in front of you. You always remind her it's fine but she'll feel guilty regardless. She's always happy to help you with your errands and anything else you need! Tas tried fasting alongside you when you first started living together but his job as a dancer wasn't going to let that happen lol. After some sulking, he now focuses on getting you your favorite foods for iftar.

❤ E Greene: Loves cooking you iftar as often as they can and dotes on you even more than usual lol. A+ fasting partner definitely would recommend.

❤ “Wes” Clark: When you first explain what Ramadhan, he kinda just shrugs and goes "ok, you do you..." However, he secretly tries to make things as easy as he can for you. Lowkey is always worried if you're hydrated enough lol

❤ REDACTED: Has a lot of past experience fasting but hasn't done so in years. Is more than happy to fast and pray with you and insist on doing most of the cooking too. It wasn't until they tried making an old childhood dish for iftar that the memories hit them and they nearly start crying over the rice...

✨Ramadan Kareem!✨

Belmont spends V's and MC's entire wedding ceremony crying their eyes out.

Belmont: Two of the hottest people here are out of my grasp forever!

Hey anon, there's always hope for a threesome in the future! 😤

... at least in Belmont mind there is lol

I respect all the love and effort you’ve put in so far in writing all this but I’d just like to say that, ngl, I’m a bit disappointed and slightly uncomfrotable at the fact that Ana & Tas are adoptive siblings-turned-lovers. I get that they’re not blood-related but it still somewhat strikes me as weird and somewhat incestuous even so.

That's totally fair and valid! I read a lot of old Russian/French literature and situations like that is a common trope. I guess I kinda forgot how it looked from a modern lens lol

If it makes you feel better, Ana and Tas were in no way treated as siblings. The family friend was only interested in adopting Ana and had to be persuaded into taking Tas as well. The friend treated Tas as a ward at best and an unwanted add-on at worst.

#dont know if that makes it better though lol #their treatment actually causes a lot of friction in the couple's current relationship #interactive fiction #the marriage market #if wip #ro ask #anonymous #author speaks #ana&tas

E Greene: Okay, you come up to an intersection and see V and Mordecai are in the street. what do you hit?

MC: V

E Greene:

MC:

E Greene: The BRAKES, MC! You hit the BRAKES!

Mordecai: Th-thank you?

V: Oh, please I dare you, you coward. You're afraid of your own mother!

Have you made the LIs in artbreeder?

I tried but nothing I came up with came close to the images in my head 😭

I'm planning on commission portraits once I get the funds, but it might a while until than... Personally, I think the wait will be worth it for the characters' sake lol

How did Tas and Ana meet?

They were raised in the same orphanage together! Tas was left there as a baby while Ana was dropped off after losing her family in a fire years later. A family friend eventually turned up to get her and figured it was easier to adopt them both instead of trying to pry Ana away from a nearly feral Tas lol

Hello !

Can I say that your blog and humor were the one to convince me to try the demo ? And that I absolutely love it ?! I have not meet any character and here I am, already half in love with them and your writing ?! 🤩

Have a good day and thank you for your hard work !

Oh my god stoooop. You are literally the sweetest readers I could ask for! ❤❤❤

#interactive fiction #if wip #the marriage market #author speaks #guys seriously #you'll are so adorably and sweet #ily all so much ;-;

[the-marriage-market-if]

Fee like V used to try to get rid of Mordecai's trashy romance novels, but didn't matter how many times they threw away these damn novels, Mordecai always had more hidden away.

After a time, V just gave up

Oh come on, V isn't a monster! They wouldn't just throw out something that Mordecai loves. Besides, he'll just buy more...

They DO find it hella cringy so whenever they come across one, they instantly try to hide it wherever they can. Right now there's hundreds of trashy novels stashed around the manor waiting for some unfortunate soul to find them.

How were the LIs as kids?

❤ V Sinclair: They were a little terror lol. Most people didn't think that they were spoiled since they were so quiet and serious but than they would turn around and say/do the most batshit insane thing with a straight face. Always tried to "logically persuade" people into doing what they wanted

❤ Mordecai Sinclair: Was an actual ray of sunshine. Super sweet and always smiling, a literal angel on earth. He loved playing pretend and somehow always roped a grumbling V into playing the prince/princess in distress. Anyone who made him cry was then at the mercy of a mini V.

❤ O Belmont: Competed with V for the title of "Ultimate Mini Menace". Was super moody and always scowling at everyone who came near. They used to be besties with V and terrorized London together. They had a fall out when they got older though...

❤ Ana + Tas: Adorable dandere meets feral tsundere. Tas took one look at her and thought "my bunny now but it’s not because I like you or anything!" Meanwhile Ana would try to train him like to behave better like an actual puppy. Any attempt to separate them was met with a raging Tas and guilt trippy Ana.

❤ E Greene: Was actually pretty mischievous lol. They were always trying to steal sweets from the kitchen or kept playing inside and breaking everything. They only behaved when they hung out with the MC so their mother kept pushing them together. She hella regrets that now.

❤ “Wes” Clark: Was super temperamental and always picked fights with everyone. RIP neighborhood kids after Wes were through with them. But he was/is a total momma's boy so he tried to look after her and his many siblings as much as he could. Roughly 60% of his fights were about "defending" his family's honor lol

❤ REDACTED: 100% shifty motherfucker, even when they were little lol. Their mind was always racing to find more ways to earn money. Fashioned themselves as a mini hustler but was always a loner and never got along with the other street kids. “Classy feral” to Tas’s … just feral.

Ooh I just read your IF and I just loved it!! Let me ask you something… Is it strange to like Redacted even if I don’t know almost anything about them? Hahahaha

I hope you’re doing fine!!

I don't know if I should applaud your great tastes or be worried for your lack of survival instincts...

Did Belmont ever bang Ana and Tas?

Distance is probably the only thing keeping them safe lol. Ana & Tas tour around Europe a lot while Belmont mostly stays in London. Mostly so Belmont can further their ultimate goal: banging V.

#Its never gonna happen but a fool can dream #V is their ultimate white whale and Belmont has been riding those waves for years now #interactive fiction #the marriage market #if wip #ro ask #spicy
