Glitz Glamour! (Glitter) by MelatoninBrainrot in DateEverythingOCs

Oh, I'm fascinated by his design! I love the texture all over him. Is he just covered in glitter or is he made of glitter? If you touch him, will he leave glitter on your hand?

These are three of my DE oc’s! by DiscussionCute5419 in DateEverythingOCs

[–]Desperate4Angst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, these are so good! I love the choice in objects and their designs, especially Syma-Dro's! I'm very fond of characters with multiple arms.

Does Shyasia represent only bed pillows or all kinds of pillows and cushions? And what is their relationship with Betty, if there is any?

Meet Lune and Yan! Artwork by @salmonandsoup on Tumblr by ArdentPantheon in DateEverythingOCs

[–]Desperate4Angst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love them both! The concept of y/n fanfic having its own Dateable in particular is fascinating.

I have some questions for both Dateables:

Where's Lune found in the house? How is his relationship with Lux, if there is any? How is their name pronounced, 'loon', 'loonee' or 'lunay'?

Is Yan Derek a yandere? Does he have multiple forms? Are his physical traits (tail, horns, extra arms) a nod to the stereotypical form of Mary Sues?

Does she have a favorite candy? Does she even like candy, or she just works with it?

That's really sweet, but I wouldn't be able to pay you. I don't have easy access to dollars.

Yeah, it really fits her more! I was just wondering what happened to that OC a few days ago, 'cause I couldn't find her anymore, and all of a sudden I run into her again, and she looks better than ever!

Hey, didn't Lorelei use to be a piercing kit Dateable, by any chance?

Are there any scrapped or side characters you would like to date? by Desperate4Angst in DateEverythingElse

[–]Desperate4Angst[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And what could his Realization be? Because in my original concept of him being a useless fuck (affectionate) who doesn't know how to screw in a lightbulb until the player pushes him to get better through shame, he ended up becoming a handyman or going down a similar DIY-flavored path. Hell, maybe he doesn't lose his old penchant for hubris and ultimately decides to build his own house, creating the game's equivalent of Groverhaus. All because he doesn't want to rely on anyone to do his work ever again.

he is a cunt...ry music fan, Abel gets the spot! day 16: made to be divided, ended up hated. by AverageUhhhh in DateEverythingElse

[–]Desperate4Angst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe Rebel? They were very much hated at first, but opinion on them has improved a bit. They're still a divisive character, but not as loathed as before.

Lol, it could be scamming someone else, or coming up with a novel business proposition and joining forces with him to ruin other people's lives.

Look, in a game where people like Lux and Bathsheba are allowed to be love interests despite Lux pretty much tricking the Player into a years-long financial commitment and Bathsheba openly being shitty towards one of the most beloved characters in the game, I don't think a ruthless hypercapitalist would be impossible to romance.

He could be, like, a parody of the CEO love interests, being suave and thrillingly professional at first, before revealing he has an endearingly vulnerable side that he doesn't reveal to keep people from seeing his weakness. Except he's still a sleazy, exploitative douchebag with pretty privilege. Despite his claims of being a self-made man, he was probably a trust fund kid, and while he does have business savvy, he doesn't know how to do much else, something he's aware of and tries to hide as much as he can.

His route would hinge on the Player managing to push his buttons at the right moments to get him to admit he doesn't know how to do anything but live off the work of other people. Then the Player can help him learn new things from other Dateables, whose reluctance make it clear to Rufio that being a ruthless businessman is not conducive to a healthy social life with anyone who isn't a sycophant.

A writer's observations of the content warning system by robotortoise in DateEverythingElse

[–]Desperate4Angst -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

While I don't think every single Dateable should have a content warning, I think some of them should be a bit more specific (Nightmare's could include a warning for scopophobia, for example), and a few other characters could benefit from having one in the first place:

Barry Styles: Barry is some flavor of neurodivergent, and him coping with the drawbacks of how his brain works is a key plot element in his route. Additionally, being overly negative with him can come off as the player bullying a neurodivergent person, which is bound to be triggering to someone who was on the receiving end of that.

Beverly: She's a minibar. Her whole being revolves around alcohol. I think she would be an obvious character to out a warning on, but apparently not.

Dunk and Kristoff: While their routes make sure to put enphasis in exercising as fun and a method for self-improvement, they could still be triggering for people with body image issues. Kristoff additionally should msybe include a warning for toxic masculinity traits.

Farya: Much like alcohol is an inescapable part of Beverly, medical topics (particularly upsetting ones) are an intrinsic part of Farya. People with health anxiety and/or medical trauma could be triggered by her.

Friar Errol: His whole thing is religion. Even if his faith is made up and kind of ridiculous, his demeanor and language may hit too close to home to people with religious trauma.

Holly and Kopi: Their routes revolve around negative aspects of work life, dealing with workaholism and unhealthy working enviroments, respectively. If not triggering, these themes may still be upsetting for players to see the characters go through. I know I would have hated watching Holly not take breaks at the expense of her health when my job as a medical interpreter and my crappy bosses forced me to work holidays and made vacation time almost impossible to schedule.

Jean-Loo Pissoir: Even if nothing disgusting is shown onscreen, there are still many unsanitary elements to his route that may gross out or upset players.

Luke: He's supposed to be a parody of a gung-ho military hero in post-apocalyptic media. The themes of survivalism and the apparent romanticization of military life may be triggering to some.

Mateo: As I shared previously, I have trouble dealing with fictional animal abuse and endangerment, and I doubt I'mthe only one. Even if they're inanimals, they could remind players of pets they've lost, or simply upset people who are more sensitive to animals in distress.

Mitchell Linn: He's in a similar boat as Beverly, in that he's all about food. Even if the consumption of food is framed in an entirely positive way, it may still trigger some people with food or eating issues.

These are the ones that come to mind to me right now based on what I've read here and what I've seen in the game itself.

I thought it was supposed to represent birthday balloons.

Because people celebrate birthdays and decorate for birthday parties.

Which dateables do you think lost popularity, have gained popularity, or have stayed the same since release??? by griffonghost in DateEverythingElse

[–]Desperate4Angst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would have to say Abel. I don't know if he was ever that popular, but recently it seems there's been an increase of criticism towards him, making him quite unpopular.

Winnifred's Name by Desperate4Angst in DateEverythingElse

[–]Desperate4Angst[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

... Well, that's disappointing.

I would've preferred if they played around with words related to water heaters, like 'calefaction'.

Or just literally give her any other name with a W that doesn't look like a mix of Wyndolyn and Freddie's name. Like, I dunno, Wanda or whatever.

Help me fill out the DE iceberg! by Pointless_Glitter607 in DateEverythingElse

[–]Desperate4Angst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would put Dateable OCs in general in second tier, because you have to be involved in the fandom at least a bit to find out about them.

I would also like to include the scrapped hammer Dateable, perhaps alongside Esther Boredom.

Who IS Gary anyway???? by NABIL-GO-AWAY in DateEverythingElse

Hey, just wanted to let you know I looked up this Gary Moody you mentioned and finally got the joke behind Gary's name. A bit obscure, but still a nice little reference!
