>>16516sorry for the long delay, I got busy and explaining my ideas takes a while to sort out in my head
Right, so basically, my problem is I have to remember constantly that this is a romance story. I mean, you have fun with monstergirls, so it shouldn't get too heavy with story or fluff unless it'd bring you closer to one or all of the girls somehow. But my problem is that PB is such a oddity amongst the girls, she slowly becomes the narrative protagonist simply because her being the underdog and overcoming all the psych issues and bullshit hurdles placed in her path is more interesting to read than, say, Paula Veronica and Elinda college girl problems. But I also have to know when to ease of the goblin wild ride and let PB rest so I can have nice, relaxing and comfy stories with other girls for a while. It's a hard balance.
So right now, working on that aim, I am exploring the idea of "acceptable violence". I'm currently using Gnathadeli to frame it. So, Gnath would be the most likly to scratch or bite Anon simply because she has no eyes, and I think of house rules like maybe if Gnath bites too hard she has to wear one of those dog cones on her head. This rule then can apply to the other girls, so if PB bites you SHE wears the cone of shame, if Caimon bites you SHE wears it, and so on and so forth for more and more humourous situations like Anon has to wear it or Meara wears a super tiny one and that sort of thing. It's a fun idea, I should stop there right?
However, unlike the other girls, Gnath included, PB has a history of violence, and so once again I have to devote special attention to her so that I can have a reason for her to attack random people less often now, which basically means CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ARC OH BOY. It gets a little irritating that PB sort of takes centre stage like this all the time, and I do hope Weaver bothers to give attnetion to issues like this one day
Anyway, so far I've ended up with pic related, who started when I realised a Weaver character would look super smug doing ANY other expression, but has become a sort of wild card Anti-PB character. He's not looking to win, he's not looking to lose, in some cases he just isn't even looking, he's here to wind everyone up with his position and disposition and ESPECIALLY make PB's life worse… AGAIN. Just because he's petty. Spoilers: guess who's going to be punched in the face by PB the moment Anon finds out a legal loophole, like if there was some evidence that PB was anatagonised she could defend herself without risking jail and oh dear, look who just happens to have been recording most of the blatently anatagonistic conversation
I'm pretty sure this is the part where a Anon-PB wild makeout session ending should be implied, possibly just by having PB wear the cone the very next time we see her and Anon having quite a few more bite marks on him, but honestly I havn't really gotten this far yet
