A little inspiration
Added 2023-11-09 14:15:24 +0000 UTCHello!
So, I was hunkering down yesterday to write this month's Bonus Content stories when... I didn't quite know what to put into my metaphorical paper. I have a few ideas, but honestly, they didn't inspire me too much, so instead of forcing myself to write them, I continue to work on Chapter 3.
That's why I'm coming here for your help. Would you mind doing a Q&A? Even if you don't have a question you want to ask, you can give me an idea for a short story for the ROs that you'd like to see. I'll write a story for each RO. 😊
If you do have a question, I'll do my best to answer it! Everything from Book One to the Alpha demo is fair game — this includes characters, questions about certain events, etc.
If you have been on my blog, I recently announced that Vallen is a new RO. I'll discuss this decision in Friday's progress report but, for now, I'll just say that because of the highly spoiling nature of her route, I won't add her to the ROs stories just yet. You can ask about her, but there won't be a romantic short for my favorite guard this month!
Thank you all so much. I look forward to hearing your suggestions! ♡

Another RO being a total dick to Romanus love interest, and they're like Imma cut you if you insult my precious baby again fool I'm thinking Alessa and Raphael, but it could work for any of the other ones too potentially. Maybe not Neia though, I think she'd just stab them herself before Romanus could even reach for their dagger

2023-11-27 15:54:12 +0000 UTCOhhhh your latest part to the Q&A inspired more questions. Will Romanus ever trust the ROs enough to tell them that they're running from the Inquisition? Will we learn why there's a dark mark (Harry Potter reference hehe ) on their hand? Will we get to find out why the Inquisition is after Romanus specifically other than that they're a Romanus and speak Latin? But why Romanus? There has to be something the Inquisition seems more than just Romanus being able to speak Latin. I can already see my Romanus starting to break. And Hadrian is very much worried about his love.

2023-11-14 06:03:59 +0000 UTCAngsty as all hell, and I think you might have already done this on your Tumblr. But what about Hadrian and Alessa's reactions to MC dying? Another angsty suggestion, deep into the romance Hadrian and Alessa, are asleep with MC in their shared room. But MC slips away into the night without a word or a clue as to where they're going or why they're leaving. Hmmm maybe possibly a note saying even though they love RO and would do anything for them, that anything in their mind would be leaving Hadrian or Alessa to keep them out of danger. Or at least that's what they think. Since the Inquisition is after them and say they're getting closer to finding Romanus. As much as it kills Romanus they decide it's best to leave. And say maybe they leave a personal affect such as if you took the cross from Aurelius or Juturna's coin. And maybe in a note telling them in Latin they love them forever. Or something A less angsty and more fun one, the subject of getting a pet comes up lol. And this can be for just Hadrian and Alessa or all the ROs. But I feel like that would be an amusing and fun conversation.

2023-11-14 05:08:02 +0000 UTCThis would be perfect with my sarcastic drama queen Romanus 😂

2023-11-13 14:45:26 +0000 UTCWhat would each of the ROs have chosen if they were the ones who ended up confronting Joan (assuming all ROs were at the same romance stage)? And would their choice be different if it was their face she messed up vs the MCs?

2023-11-12 13:05:16 +0000 UTCThis is more of a question, since I don’t think it would work as a scene for anyone but Hadrian and Alessa. I think you’ve mentioned before that MC, Hadrian and Alessa went on a mission together before the current one. Can we know more about that mission or will it come up later in the story?

2023-11-11 00:37:11 +0000 UTCYes, this!

2023-11-10 20:56:45 +0000 UTCHow would each of the RO's respond to a timid MC wanting affection

2023-11-10 14:52:11 +0000 UTCI have a question :D what are the RO's opinions regarding food? Do they care, do they cook, do they have a favourite dish? (I remember we already got a glimpse with Alessa 👀) And related suggestion of course: RO cooking for Romanus, or the opposite, or even cooking together, why not! (I might have been slightly influenced by the fact that I'm hungry and haven't eaten yet 😁)

2023-11-10 09:09:54 +0000 UTCOo what if we're sick and we're all like "I think I'm dying 🤢" and they're like "😑 girl its just a cold" then "I leave my estate to 😖" which is like a bar of soap and 2 coins, but you get it. Think that'd be fun 😊

2023-11-10 08:24:53 +0000 UTCLove this!! You’re writing is just phenomenal! Some fun ideas :) Romanus to the rescue Fighting side by side Love potion Romanus upset and being cheered up Fake dating trope Someone lost their memory Self care/massage Gotta cuddle for warmth The first time Rafael describes the paint on an artifact for Romanus Following a mark with Lance Hadrian wearing his armor for Romanus Lances reaction to Romanus singing him a song Hide & seek with Alessa (or Neia) Royal role reversal with Alain Romanus trying to hide a gift from the pirate king Dueling for Ysabella’s honor Cooking a dessert for Neia (or Alessa) Romanus dressing up a guard for/with Vallen

2023-11-09 23:27:46 +0000 UTCI’ve been waiting for the next Q&A; ever since the Vallen announcement I had a feeling you wouldn’t indulge us, just yet, with her given what little is known. I do know the hints you’ve been giving already speaks to how messed up that route is going to be- so in the angsty spirit I’m going to bring up a question I’ve been dying to ask. It’s not even my question but I can recall in the earlier Tumblr days there was an ask that said something along the lines of: “If the ROs had to choose between sacrificing MC to save the entire world, would they?” To this day I CANNOT find that ask on your Tumblr, just a follow up ask vaguely referencing it............but I know what I saw I’m not crazy ʕノ•ᴥ•ʔノ ︵ ┻━┻ At that time you were only answering for known ROs and I recall the reasoning on how Alessa wouldn’t, aannd I also recall the chaos unleashed when it turned out Hadrian would. Vallen aside, now that all the ROs have been made official I really hope this can be answered. On the less angsty side, I also have my own question on an expansion on what the canon childhood of the different origin Romanus’ was like for them growing up. Picking the different options during that segment in Ch 1 did give insight and tidbits, but with all you had to go over in a short span to inform plot, I’m still curious since I enjoyed playing each background tbh.

2023-11-09 22:09:09 +0000 UTCI like the idea! And I have some questions: In the same direction of the self steem ask in tumblr, how do the ROs measure themselfs intelligence wise? And how you, Ana, would measure them? Other ask in Tumblr I was reading again was the Orpheus one, with Alessa and Hadrian, and I got curious about how the others would fare. If you could write a snippet with this theme with TPK, or Neia or Alain...

2023-11-09 21:34:17 +0000 UTCYsabella teaching a low Influence Romanus to ballroom dance while passing time outside Tarragona! Others poking fun at them while watching would also be fun.
HeraldOfEras
2023-11-09 21:16:56 +0000 UTCOr maybe Romanus rescuing one of them in a fight or from some other situation?
Julia
2023-11-09 21:15:30 +0000 UTCSeriously crushing or maybe even genuinely in love Hadrian and Alain fighting over Romanus if you don’t mind 😊
Starfirewater
2023-11-09 20:05:00 +0000 UTCHow do the RO's feel about love?
Marie Strange
2023-11-09 18:23:32 +0000 UTCHave we had a never have I ever drinking game with the party yet? There could be a SFW version that become NSFW as they get more drunk and you could include however many in the group you want. Add in the Romanus being oblivious while the others fight over why they love Romanus more.

2023-11-09 17:13:14 +0000 UTCI’d love a scene with the Romanus comforting the RO after a nightmare or tough situation.
Julia
2023-11-09 15:46:26 +0000 UTCI don’t have a specific situation but I miss my cat 🥺 I want to see Sol. Maybe meeting the RO’s? Or just hanging with Romanus
Rayven Sayavong
2023-11-09 15:45:33 +0000 UTCI’d love to see that too!
Allie
2023-11-09 15:17:51 +0000 UTCNot a ro but I miss beka 🥺 our feral little squirrel lol
d
2023-11-09 14:58:28 +0000 UTCMaybe something about how shady and reclusive Romanus looks like from the RO perspective? With the radio silence about their backstory and the eternal glove that never comes out, the ROs must have things going on in their minds about it...
Kashmir
2023-11-09 14:54:48 +0000 UTCFor Hadrian and Alessa, Idk if you have plans to flashback to it, but I'd love to see a scene of them first meeting Romanus.

2023-11-09 14:23:38 +0000 UTCSeconded!
Leialie
2023-11-09 14:21:38 +0000 UTCI like this idea!
Dakota
2023-11-09 14:17:34 +0000 UTCNot a very happy suggestion (apologies) but the first time each of then have killed someone.... or if they have not done so, the first time they witnessed death? I blame the onset of winter for the melancholy.
