Very true. I'm Lycabelle through and through. 😍

This is another one of those days when I thought the music was more a vibe than related to what I'm actually writing. And then a song plays a second time, and I go: Oooooh. Okay, that's what we're doing. Got it.

Also, it's Rina's time to shine. Just sayin.

Also you'll never convince me now that Manato isn't to Lycaon what Yidhari is to Lucia. The more I look at Manato's skin on him, the more I can tell two character designers drew an "original" version of Lycaon and Manato is the human-facing version.

Okay, so finished the main story update. I'll leave impressions for later, because right now only one thing matters.

*Slight spoiler alert*

It's confirmed that Manato is a legal adult (approximately 19 to be more specific.) Let the fanfiction/fanart/miscellaneous related smut commence.

Of course it's when my younger kid is home for the week that the muses are like, "Oh btw, we're ready to work now!"

Screw the muses for real, but... both kids are sleeping now, so.

Orphans surely since they call him by his name. He seems that type, but I'm speedrunning the story that includes him (and his trust events) when he drops. I've got a couple hundred pulls ready for him and Lucia, so we'll find out (hopefully.)

Well they did say he's a student, but so is Ellen so I'm putting him in the 18+ category with her for my own sanity. And I'm not writing smut for him *coughyetcough* so I'm still okay. I think. >.>

Again, diabolical work by Hoyo.

Intermission Teaser - "The Daily Life of Komano Manato" | Zenless Zone Zero

AffinityTheBard @affinitythebard.bsky.social · 16d

Ya'll, the fact that #zzz just dripped an S-rank fire rupture and gave us this trailer for Manato in the same 24 hour period is diabolical work.

I will be the ultimate husband collector, trust.

Oh, and spoiler alert - yes, they actually are turning out to be the first and back half of the same story. I really, really hate the fuckers in my head with this shit.

The moment I thought the muses insisted on me working on 2 fics at the same time.

Me: I have 2 hands and maybe 2 brain cells to spare right now.
Muses: Clearly, since you haven't realized these are two parts of THE SAME FUCKING STORY.
Me: ...
Muses: See it now?
Me: Fuck off, seriously.

Clearly my muses' impatient asses REFUSE to move until I get at least my final outline for IAF Part 3 out of my brain. Also, I think for Part 3: Our Past, Present, and Forever (working title btw), I may really need a beta reader. If anyone's interested, shoot me a DM. ❤️

Three different documents open right now. I have no clue which one is going to get words first, but at least one of them is getting worked on. #Interlude

AffinityTheBard @affinitythebard.bsky.social · Sep 17

Also Vi has confirmed they wrote one specific scene because I didn't include it (while Lycaon and Belle were in her bedroom at the video store) in either It's All Fun or WIMIF.

They did what I failed to, and I salute their service in maintaining the Lycabelle agenda. o7

AffinityTheBard @affinitythebard.bsky.social · Sep 15

Someone wrote a #Lycabelle fic (and is planning a short series) inspired by the It's All Fun series. I've been given way more love than I deserve on my stories, really, but this was one of the greatest compliments of all. I'm completely floored, it's so good!

Bruh.

#ZZZ gotta quit taking characters that I have no interest in pulling and attaching them to Phaethon's lore. Seriously. Ya'll making me scrape the internet for trust event videos up in here, and ain't nobody got time for that shit. 🤦‍♀️

I need them to run the idols first because I desperately need another skip patch after this one.

AffinityTheBard @affinitythebard.bsky.social · Sep 4

Nope unfortunately Zhao looks like our next full thiren. We just have to pray to hell she isn't the first banner of 2.4, because if she is, we're fucked. XD

AffinityTheBard @affinitythebard.bsky.social · Sep 4

Well, I can say confidently now that I'm quite happy to not pull on the #zzz 2.2 banner. Time to stockpile for Manato. *cough* I meant Lucia and Yidhari. They're totally the main reason I'll be pulling. 100% 😜

lol no worries - also as a side note, I'm actually Bard and Pareathe XD Must've accidentally used my other account. 😂

No thanks needed - your work keeps my #lycabelle heart beating during the drought.
