Hello! Firstly, sorry for the silence! I said on Tumblr that I'll be posting things in bulk due to Chapter 3. Usually I spread them out throughout the month to keep active but this month I didn't want to burn myself out with finishing CH3 so I decided to release things at once! For band tier, that's three things for the first batch <3 (It was supposed to be four but I didnt get to finish the last one yet but I wanted these out so I'll be working on release that with the rest!)

IRIS CH2PART 2 POV SCENE (4K)

SEVEN FIRST DATE (MC POV) (6K)

SEVEN FIRST DATE (SEVEN POV) (8K)

It comes out to around 18K words!

Thank you for your patience and understanding! As always, if there are any errors or anything :)

“They are not here and I need them here” I know I said I love the idea of 7 needing MC but you really had to show me how something usually cute can be extremely unhealthy, didn’tcha Amy? 😔

Excellent writing, Amy. You made me feel more positively toward Iris, who I really disliked before. And I loved both the MC and Seven's POVs of the first date and found the first date to be incredibly sweet and cute (and I agree with Seven about paying so much for a snack!). A bit of a different perspective on Seven's POV, however... It is normal for people to be borderline obsessive at the beginning of a relationship, and I think the switch from friends to lovers for Seven and MC qualify for "beginning" of the relationship. It's a marked change from them being friends (albeit closer than one typically thinks about when they imagine bffs) to being "more". In my opinion, it's understandable Seven would be like this, at this point--they are taking a big risk (if any of you have been faced with the idea that, "if we step over this line, we could lose our friendship", you know what I mean). At the same time, Sev is feeling that giddy intensity that comes with the newness of a relationship, which can manifest in a variety of ways: wanting to be together all the time, wanting to touch constantly, being afraid that the fragility of the budding relationship, etc. Seven being Seven thinks in the most dramatic of ways, and given Seven's typically pessimistic view, it can come off as obsessive or unhealthy to people who can't comprehend that level of intensity. That said... The problem I see in Sev's POV is their lack of self worth and apparent inability to be alone. If you can't be content alone, you'll never be content with someone else, and I don't think Seven can be content alone (which is why they need to sleep with Avina every night). I find it odd that Seven--who has a loving mother--is even more afraid of abandonment than the MC, who may as well not have parents and never really experienced anyone loving them, save for Seven and Lucy. Is it an inherent personality thing with Seven? Is it something that was spawned due to a traumatic event? But the random thoughts of wanting to physically (and probably mentally) meld with the MC isn't a problem *at this point*, as far as I'm concerned. If Seven was still thinking this way once they got past the infancy stage of the relationship (once the new car smell wears off a bit), then yes, it would be a problem. My guess is that Seven *was* still thinking this way after they and the MC had become more comfortable in their relationship, and that's why they reacted so strongly when the MC either voted them out as co-lead (and I don't blame Seven in this case, and agree the MC betrayed them) or when the MC appeared to take their side with a "no" vote but didn't leave the band for them. I've always given Seven a hard time, but it's not due to their intensity or even them being hurt over what the MC did to them. It's the vitriol that I have a problem with, that and Avina (sorry, I hate this perfect little snowflake character more with each passing moment). I still contend that my MC would've walked away from the band, but I know for story purposes the MC was forced to remain with the band and will be forced into being horrible to Seven in a flashback, and when that happens, I will probably be more understanding about the vitriol, too, and end up hating my own MC for a time because of how they behaved when I didn't have control of them. Sev's POV here actually made me understand their behavior in the VD specials more, too, probably because we never really saw how intensely they felt about the MC before, and were just told. Given this POV, I completely understand why Seven would want to keep the MC at arm's length and basically avoid them once they're back together--it's the proverbial hot stove situation, and Sev doesn't want to get burned again. However, I really question how "codependency" is defined in this story since Seven shoving the MC away is supposed to be healthy. By their very nature, committed couples--who depend on each other for emotional support and a close companionship, among other things--are somewhat codependent. That type of commitment requires allowing someone to share your life and space (no matter how annoying they may be at times), and requires work and compromise to keep the relationship alive. Perhaps that is unhealthy from the game's perspective? Perhaps being faithful to your partner and wanting to spend time with them, instead of friends, a bedbuddy, or alone, is unhealthy? Keeping your partner at arm's length isn't much of a relationship, IMO, and I wouldn't bother putting any effort into such a relationship. But I suppose some people see "healthy" relationships as people who say they love each other while living completely separate lives and keeping their distance. 🤷‍♀️

I'm loving the discussion on this post everyone got amazing takes. I'm a MC apologist I understant a 100% with MC would've stayed in the first moment: The band being one of MC's main support systems, Sev not saying anything before the fight at the party, mc wanting to please everyone. I also feel really bad for mc in this whole situation bc being in a relationship with someone this codependent on you can be suffocating. Amy you're spoiling us, I've been so entertained in the last few months lol

I'm seeing everyone talk about Seven needing help and therapy and that none of this is healthy, and it makes me feel really bad for all the warm fuzzies that reading their POV of the date gives me. Like, I DREAM of one day being loved and wanted by someone to even half the extent Seven seems to care about MC. And there's something so incredibly heartwarming about the idea of being someone's safety and calm, like MC was for Seven. Do *I* need therapy?

"He's briefly reminded of what his mother once said. You tend to get obsessive. Is this obsession? No. Seven simply wants to absorb himself into Kyra's body until they're permanently infused together. That's not an obsession, he doesn't think." sorry to the other RO's, I'm coming back home to Seven!!!
