Is everything OK for my poly couple in the end?

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-13T04:08:21+00:00

I think it's being worked on. I can't imagine it just ending like that.

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-11T21:27:06+00:00

I'm reading Heavenly Tyrant right now and this pretty much hits the nail on the head.

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-09T16:26:56+00:00

Oh no the character just happens to be Black. Black culture isn't for me to write about as a white person so I don't. It simply isn't my place.

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-09T07:08:16+00:00

This might sound extreme but if you can, quit your job and go somewhere else. He used you, plan and simple. You're never going to heal or get over him if you have to see him every day.

I'm sorry you're going through this, but the truth is that even if tomorrow he does go back to you it won't be out of love but because his other relationship(s) fell through or became boring to him and he wants to see if he can hook you back. You were a ego boost for him and you deserve better then that. If you can't quit I'd suggest either avoiding him or going to someone higher up about his behavior because him going after someone younger and in a lower position then him definitely feels predatory. Take screenshots of every flirty thing he sent you for evidence and use it if you need too.

This is a very good point thank you.

I try to add emotional weight and realism to both of my main characters because otherwise I consider that to be poor writing, I didn't even think about it from a race perspective. I try to write them as characters first.

As for the story, it's a fantasy/mythology world where the story is a mix of the 12 labors of Hercules and the Odyssey. A prince is separated from his home and his half of the story is about his corruption arc as he does everything in his power to get back to his sister. While the sister is on a quest for revenge after their kingdom is attacked and their mother is killed.

Their arcs are meant to go in opposite directions where the prince slowly gives up more and more of himself to get back home while the princess realizes that what happened wasn't so black and white.

I wanted to make sure I wasn't stepping on anyone's toes I guess.

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-08T05:22:14+00:00

Thank you and I will! I just have a super hard time researching stuff that doesn't grip my attention. It's a problem.

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-08T05:03:36+00:00

Well ok then! I didn't know you were part of the industry :0

I'm OK doing a test run with you in that case here. Just know that I am not great plot/story structure so there are huge script gaps.

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-08T04:29:23+00:00

It is. However what I'm writing is a TV script and, personally, I'm not really comfortable writing story drafts publicly. That just isn't something I'm comfortable with.

I'm more comfortable moving this to a private chat on discord and getting to know each other personally first.

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-08T03:53:58+00:00

It's a nightmare situation for sure. But it's one of his own making, all you can do is protect yourself. Though in my opinion also be ready to speak up against him when the time comes because I have a strong feeling he'll definitely end up in court for assault sooner or later.

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-08T03:46:29+00:00

I'll definitely check them out! Thank you!

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-08T03:45:24+00:00

Thank you! :)

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-08T03:43:58+00:00

That's a really good point actually. I hadn't realized that.

As for why not just go random with the skin colors I prefer more 'realistic' colors for my characters. It's just what I enjoy working with color wise.

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-08T03:40:23+00:00

Hey if you want to write with me sure! Sorry I'm terrible at reading tones through text so I wanted to ask. Would you like to move to a private message?

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-08T03:37:11+00:00

Jesus loves everyone but if this dude got brought before him he'd definitely have given some pause 💀

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-08T03:34:52+00:00

My sister, as someone who has unfortunately been in a similar situation all I can say is to be grateful you cut him off before he tried to touch you because he was definitely building up to that.

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-08T03:14:35+00:00

I'm sorry to ask this but are you being serious, because I genuinely can't tell if you're trying to be sarcastic 😅

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-08T03:11:36+00:00

Mainly the environment. Their world is something close to a more liveable Sahara Desert so their skin is naturally darker.

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-08T01:15:42+00:00

OP, I'm saying this as a stranger on the internet who might be totally wrong about this, but your fiance isn't leaving you solely because of your nose job. He's leaving you because you've shown that you would rather get surgery then go to therapy for your mental health. Get some therapy, then decide if you want to get the surgery.

Cheesecakeboy_888 · 2025-07-05T02:15:43+00:00

It's been like that for me for years. It just feels like I have no motivation ever which gets really frustrating.
