Character info pastebin in progress: http://pastebin.com/iB0tb7rz
Dice odds for best of 3: http://pastebin.com/994WTT3g

General rules:

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible.

Write-ins for all votes are always welcome and encouraged. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.

Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as circumstances warrant.

Combat mechanics involve three rolls of 1d100, taking the best, and using the base accuracy and crit ranges of the game, roughly, but the 'turn order' will be more like the anime, where sometimes you can do a few moves in a row or be hit by a combo of moves yourself, all depending on circumstances. Stronger moves tend to take more time and have more cooldown than weaker moves, so beware of that timing. Speed is more important for closing ground, intercepting, and other things and doesn't necessarily mean going first. Infact, you can do more than one move in a row like the anime, but so can your opponents.

Call me out on a mistake and receive a suggestive picture, mostly likely a butt.

Thoughts on the JJ clan gobble?

“Gah!” You whisper-shout. “Hana. You scared me.” You scramble to put your pants back on. She’s wearing full-body pajamas.

“I get that a lot.” She mutters, half laughing at her own joke. “Umm, Sorry. I didn’t know if you were asleep.”

“It’s okay.” You settle down onto the bed. You want to put a shirt on, but now it feels awkward to draw attention to it at all. You pat a spot for her to sit. “What’s up?”

“She roof.” Again, more nervous laughter. “Ah, sorry. That was terrible.”

“I like lame jokes.” You freeze. She understands you meant lame as in corny, right? Why didn’t you say corny? “S-So what can I do you for?”

She gives you another of her funny looks. “Heh umm. Well, I just wanted to talk. And say thanks. Chinchou and I are getting along great. And I got you something.”

You’re staring at the floor, trying not to look like you’re puffing your chest or anything. Then you see her pajamas hit the floor. You gasp and look up.

“What do you think?” It’s the skirt and leggings.

“It looks great!”

“Thanks for giving me the confidence to go out there. I had fun.” She twirls her hair. “Umm, this isn’t your present though. Close your eyes. Please.”

“You didn't have to get me anything.”

“I wanted to. A lot.” She reaches out and closes your eyes. You don’t re-open them. “I know I don’t really have a lot of skills like Laki, or Valerie, or Keira, or Jane...”

“You’re too hard on yourself.” You’re feeling a little expose, sitting on your bed like this with your eyes clothed. You can hear her breathing change as she shuffles around.

“You’re really sweet, Herb. I-I mean, figuratively. Not that it tasted bad or... heh, oh, uh. Forget I said anything!”

What’s she talking about? “Forgotten!”

“I’ve been practicing this. Well, with different equipment. I think it’s a lot better than last time. I hope you like it.” You feel her hands on your lap. Then a weight. “You can open your eyes.”

Oh! “It’s a lunchbox.”

She smiles. It’s a huge, open smile with her hair out of the way of her face. “Open it!”

You do as you’re told. Even in the dim light, you can see a very well put together meal. “Your mom let me use your kitchen while you were on your date with Jane. The lunchbox is something my mom showed me how to make. I couldn’t really remember all the steps but Valerie’s yacht had one with all the other historical stuff her dad collects.”

You remember when Keira wore that costume last time. “It smells great. Thanks.”

“No problem.” She sets the gem she got on your dresser. “Anyway. It’ll stay good for awhile, so you can eat it whenever. Let me know if you have any tips.” She gives you a quick hug. “I should go before Jane gets the wrong idea or something.”

I mean, it's true. Herb hasn't really expressed much romantic interest in Jane beyond "Oh pretty lady". Mostly just wants her to stop being so defensive and open start trusting him and everyone else.

>>
>>1594239
She's not, she's just the most shy girl who has trouble relating what she wants so she's easy for some people to relate or want to protect. She's a good girl but there's no best waifu here.

This is almost EXACTLY what was talked about last session.

Oh silly Anon... I'm just waiting for the right moment to crush her dreams.
Being a Janefag is suffering

>>1594275
it's been inevitable since thread 1, Gobble just introduces a whole bunch of waifus all at once that are all great; deviation from this path has always been next to impossible.

>>1594276
She's only like a foot tall. Everyone in pokemon is apparently tiny.
>>1594275
It will probably. People hate harem but when waifus are on the table like this that's the most likely result.1

>>1594282
The fun thing is that since this is about the most popular and well liked quest on the board, I wonder how hard the angry anons who lose the Waifu War will try to derail everything?
>>
>>1594294
I mean, if what I'm going for loses out I'll be upset, but I'd never try and derail things.
>>
>>1594275
Slowly? It's been the one constant topic every thread. There's more girl discussion than there is about pokemon, often about the same goddamn subjects. It's annoying.

Harem route is possible and that's what I'm going for, screw waifu wars I like most of the chicks here I just wish people would go with the in story route instead of this "it's OUR time to shine!" and try to force some sexy times out of the quest.

Laki in quest makes the most sense to get with. Hana is almost exclusively lust, we've spoken with her a little but there hasn't been much development with her beyond the blowjob and catching the chinchou together.

Just get the stupid waifu wars over with finally.
>>
>>1594294
depends who wins, if Laki or to a lesser extent Jane lose I am sure their crowds will throw a shitshow. Hana and Keira crowd probably won't but you can bet your ass they will try to make it poly afterwards.
>>
>>1594301
To be fair to the Kiera crowd not throwing a big fit, I think they're the smallest
>>
>>1594301
Don't worry about us Janefags going banannas, we knew what we signed up for when we boarded this ship
>>
>>1594294
I like to think Gobble's players are classy enough to accept whatever happens, if a bit begrudgingly
>>
>>1594301
>>1594300
>>1594299

All of this being said, I would like to take this moment to swear an oath to the Dice Gods that, no matter the outcome of the Waifu Wars, we shall continue in unity and relative harmony, and shall not sabotage the relationships of the MC or any of his friends out of pettiness or spite.

All who wish to take this oath with me, say aye!

>>1594301
We're probably going to lose right now.

I'll just be sad that she lost and mad since a lot of people just hate Jane and don't give her and chance. I won't do anything to derail or ruin whatever relationship Herb gets into I love this quest and want to see it thrive and succeed. I'll just be sad and mopey.

That's pretty much how I feel. I'm not so petty about this kind of stuff that I'd try and sabotage something I look forward to whenever a new installment is announced.

gonna push for poly though
>>
>>1594332
I think he means the shark hate,
>>
>>1594335
This is why Hanafags are the worst

>>1594327
Jane has had plenty of chances to be less paranoid.
>>
>>1594327
>Go on a bunch of dates
>Still treats us like we're trying to set her up for a fall
After a certain point people will stop voting to hang out with her, purely for the fact shit like that gets boring fast.
>>
>>1594336
I doubt that. It's not really hate. Gobble even started that trend.

>>1594339
I dislike her less than I did at the start. (Full on hated her at the beginning.)
>>
>>1594337
please I was a Robinfag last quest and the Clairfags butted in. Didn't ruin shit.
>>
>>1594337
I'm probably a HanaFag and I fucking hate harems Anon, there's been poly talks on every end.
>>
>>1594337
>>1594339
I think it's pretty clear we just crossed that bridge last thread, my only regret is that there isn't really any time to hang out with not paranoid Jane before we have to make a choice.
>>
>>1594345
Fine, that one Hanafag is the worst.

>>1594344
Everyone was a Robinfag last quest.
>>
>>1594350
There were also Vancefags for about half a second.
>>
>>1594344
Robin was the only choice for the majority of the quest. Claire was an after thought.
>>
>>1594310
By a Man's Pride I make this pledge!
>>
I wish we could just waifu Gobble (QM)
>>
>>1594350
Then why was there suddenly a Clair in our relationship anon?
>>
>>1594344
Yeah, very nearly EVERYONE was for getting with Robin. The only real debate was whether Kat was gay or bisexual, never about getting with Robin or not.
Claire felt pretty natural in their rather open and very sexual relationship and I stand by that statement.
>>
>>1594366
as will Hana in a Herb Laki relationship, not saying I would push for Hana in a Keira or Jane win; that wouldn't work.

Hana very obviously likes girls from the times we've seen inside her head. There's nothing in character that Herb would know about this but the Hana bins show her fantasizing about Val and Laki.

“Wait, stay. I want to eat you-” you cough. “Bleh, sorry. Eat your meal together.”

She gives you a mix of reactions. “Okay.”

You don’t quite want to say you don’t feel that way about Jane, but you do want to clear the air. “Jane and I aren’t dating, if that’s what you mean.”

“Oh. You’re not dating anybody?” She opens a compartment on the lunchbox to reveal cutlery,

You nod. “No. You?”

“Ha. Yeah right. The closest is when Valerie invited me to dance with her. It was really nice. She’s a good friend. And she’s pretty. And she smells like a magical garden.” She sighs. “Not that I want you to get the wrong idea either! We’re not like that.”

“Okay.”

You both enjoy a few bites.

“This is really good.”

“You think so? You can be honest. I don’t like it when people just give me pity. I can take it.”

“I mean it. I’d love to get the recipe.”

She smiles. “Sure. It feels weird to give Mr. Chef. a recipe, though.”

You eat up the rest of it. You really meant it when you said it was delicious. “Thanks. That was great.”

“Can I ask your advice?”

“Sure.”

“When you,” she hesitates “When you’re battling, and you think it’s the right time to commit to the offense but you’re not sure, how do you know?”

“I guess it depends on the specifics.”

“Well, okay. Imagine you’ve been battling for awhile. And it’s been confusing, and the competition looks like it’s way stronger and even when you get a good uhh, lick, in, you figure that’s as far as you’re going to get. But then you find out that you might still have a chance after all. Maybe for example you could use Lovely Kiss and get a surprise victory. But taking that chance might be a huge mistake. It might mess up your relationship. Uhh, with your pokemon.”

Maybe you’re just reading too much into it, but you’re starting to get the feeling that maybe she isn’t talking about Pokemon battles

“I think you should go with your gut tells you.”

“I know what another part of my body is telling me.” She mumbles. Or something like that. Maybe you misheard.

“What?”

“Huh? Nothing! I just...” She leans over to you, her hand gently falls to your chest. He eyes come up to meet yours. “But my gut? It’s telling me...” She keeps staring into your eyes. Then she kisses you, right on the lips. It’s brief and sweet, completely unlike the time in the closet. “It’s telling me to put it all out there.”

“I-”

“It’s okay. I need to get this out there first. I like you. And I don’t know if you like me back. And I can take it if you don’t like me. Really. But I don’t want to just regret not saying it. But I don’t think you know what you want. So when you figure it out, let me know. And if it’s not me, then, well, I hope we can be friends. But figure it out soon, okay?”

“I-”

“Sorry I’m not trying to be rude I just can’t stop talking yet or I won’t get it all out there. If you do want me to be your girlfriend, then I just have to warn you now that I come with my own baggage. I don’t want you to not know that. I still don’t know what I want to do after my journey, or even what I’m doing on my journey. I like staying in and watching movies and playing games most of the time. And I’m a huge pervert. Like really bad. I wish I could be a sweet girl but I’m just not like that. But I’d be faithful, and supportive, and do whatever it takes to make you happy.”

She wipes some sweat that formed on her head. The lightning lights up the night again, and then the thunder comes a few seconds later. She looks like she just ran a marathon.

“That’s umm, all I wanted to say.”

hhhhngh I want her so much right now!

Idon't know what to do. I really like Hana, but when Laki's open, she's so SO good, but Laki has alot of ups and downs and Hana's pretty stable. On the other hand, I feel like not knowing what she wants to do during and after her journey might exacerbate Herb's similar problems, and her wanting to stay in all the time wouldn't fit Herb much at all.

No matter the outcome, Herb should tell her that she is, in fact, a sweet girl.

And ask how big of a pervert while sweating heavily.
>>
>>1594720
Any girl, Gobble answered a little bit higher up.
>>
>>1594713
I've been in favor of a semi-open Hana/Laki relationship from the start, anon, I'm just asking for clarification as to whether saying "hey Hana, I'm with you 100% emotionally but you know we both want to rub our faces on those abs" is still possible later.
>>
>>1594706

Honestly, I feel like Laki x Hana would be a really good fit. Like, really good.

I'd like to go with Hana, but less in a TOGETHERFOREVERHAPPILYEVERAFTER way, and more of a casual dating to see if we think we'd work. That would give us time to ease into and secure a Herb/Laki/Hana trifecta. After all, the triangle is the strongest shape.

>>
>>1594779
I'm thinking less of a casual relationship (because I don't think Hana would take that well) and more of a mutual friend with benefits deal. Laki strikes me as bro material who's also down to fuck, and I'm pretty sure remember Hana commenting one time that she'd love to bury her face in Laki's ass. So, the attraction's there on the physical level.

“I don’t need time.” You feel inspired by how brave she’s being right now. If she can be honest with you like this, especially with how reserved she can get, then you can at least be honest with yourself.

You close your eyes, and the image of the person that you like comes in clearly.

[Okay, since this is a guaranteed shitshow, we’ll be doing run-off voting. The least voted on option will be removed and we’ll start a new vote. So for example, if I give these options;

>Vanilla
>Chocolate
>Strawberry
>Neapolitan
>Rocky Road

And there are 7 votes for vanilla, 8 for chocolate, 4 for strawberry, 2 for Neapolitan and 6 for Rocky Road, then we’ll have a new round of voting like this:

>Vanilla
>Chocolate
>Strawberry
>Rocky Road

And so on. I know it’s not perfect, and it ruins immersion a bit to to take such a huge chunk of time out to have a vote like this, but it’s the least terrible option I know of. With that being said, we’ll start in a few minutes. Anyone who hasn’t posted yet in this thread, please do so now. When voting starts we’ll be disregarding 1 post IDs.]

Alternative: Every vote contains every option, ranked. You take the top ranked option from each vote and count them. Everyone who voted for the loser gets their vote changed to their number two, and you recount. Etcetera. Less effort for us and more for you (sorry), but possibly taking less time all round.

Regardless of who wins, I insist on an AU scene of Keira's fertility ritual. Both my loreboner and penisboner demand this.

You are guaranteed to pretty much only get rankings in the form of:

The fertility ritual is a huge honor that trumps relationships, people can be a part of them and be in relationships

>>1595012
I mean you know which girl would be most open to Harem. Laki

would produce the least salt

I'm still gonna push for keira to join when we decide on Laki or Hana. She's too cute to let her get sidelined, plus plot stuff

Hana has the balls to make her intentions clear which is better then most.

Well the most open to harem stuff would be Laki.

Remember, vote for the one you want if you want her to stay in the running for the next vote.]

Part of me is curious what has caused this entire readerbase to condemn Harems like they're the spawn of Satan

We both know for a fact that whichever side loses will still push for getting with Hana or Laki or whichever one loses. There's already been multiple references to Laki wanting to have a harem and Hana wanting to do it with Laki. It's literally a waiting game at that point till they all get together.

I highly doubt one side is going to get quiet just because of losing the first real relationship vote.

Harems are garbage simply because they take away from a romance. When you have to focus on more characters it dilutes the romance for all those characters. Romance with one character can be more meaningful because it is a singular focus.

[Alright. Thanks for your patience going through all of that monotony. I wanted there to be as much room as realistic for all possibilities to be voted on.

No, Laki is literally the only girl where Herb initiated sex. The only one who we've had heart to hearts to, who we've been traveling with for weeks now. Even training together and now Hanafags are coming from goddamn nowhere to get their defenseless and need to protect little flower because she's super lewd. It makes no goddamn sense from a character point of view and I'm quite annoyed by Gobbles decision to start this all with a private meeting with Hana when Laki is here as well.

She also has a thing specifically for blondes, and has insisted to Valerie that she's in it for the sex above all else. Half or more of that is self-lies and not being honest with herself, but I'm sure that still played into the vote to a degree.

I honestly think Gobble fucked us with that. Hard and that was an excuse to ditch Laki. He gave her a possible alternate.

She's lying about being in it for sex above all else. it's a character flaw.

It's going to hurt seeing her go out with Valerie while I have to watch anons build Hana's self confidence because she has robot bits. But anons apparently don't like Self-confident women. See every other girl.

Pretty sure if it were reversed nothing would be different. Such is the flawed nature of waifu wars.

Laki also never gave us a lunchbox with excellent food. What now, anon?

>>1595564
Yeah. Could kind of tell here and there where Gobble was trying to inject some drawbacks or benefits to different waifus, or suddenly give others more spotlight, in an attempt at being fair and spreading character development. Nothing wrong with that-I think it may have just been minutely too strong. The specifics and degrees could be argued ad naseum.

Was going to be happy with Hana or Laki either way.

Hana isn't even a repeat of Robin. There are superficial similarities, but they're pretty distinct. You're just mad because Laki lost. That said, >>1595576 is also right that smug Hanafags aren't helping.

The really important question here is: how far can each of these broads punt a football?

>>1595584
I understand but it hurts a whole aspect of the quest for me. And having it happen by such a slim margin doesn't help.
>>
>>1595564
Who's to say this thing with Hana works out and ends up being long-term?

Herb is way confused feelings wise, so even if things are serious now, it could wind up that Laki gets picked later.

>>1595567
Pretty sure the difference there is that Robin really didn't have any competition before the choice.

And aside from Claire, not a lot afterward.
>>
The only thing I know is that if Hana wins poor Bella is gonna have a fit.
I'm not ready to disappoint our daughter boys.
>>
>>1595591
Hana is probably the farther due to machine legs. Laki and Jane would be close. I'd give Keira the heads up there due to walking around more. Val is last because she liked tennis.

Also by now Gobble has reached the same result in the tally that I did, after eliminating the late votes and 1 post IDs, it was a tie.

>Who's to say this thing with Hana works out and ends up being long-term?
Boy, I can already see the salty Lakifags attempting to ruin the relationship at every possible chance.
>>
>>1595592
Gobble, being able to see the closeness of the vote, might try to accommodate that in one way or another (or at least work on lowering the fallout). Can't speak for them but that's part of being a spectacular QM.
>>
>>1595592
I don't really see Hana as being a repeat of Robin, and I did read the first quest. Like I said, they're superficially similar, but there are plenty of differences between them. Plus, we've still got however many dozens of threads before the end for Hana to develop, and I suspect it's not going to be in the same direction Robin did.

She clearly didn't, since the vote was so close anyway. Plenty of people wanted Laki, but slightly more people wanted Hana. That's not Gobble fucking up. That's the vote not going the way you wanted it to.
>>
I still feel the vote was too early, we're at the third gym and this is a journey quest about finding our self. Love is a part of that, forcing it so early means a major part of it is already said and done.

Wow, it's like people haven't even been reading the quest. Saying Laki is confident is like saying Hana isn't insecure about her body image. Laki puts up such a huge front to avoid dealing with her crippling insecurities.

Just so long as there's no one actively voting to ruin things and if we wind up there it's after figuring out IC that it won't work, I'm cool with it.

You see Laki and Hana. Hana and Laki. It hurts. The pressure is killing you. But when you open your eyes again, it all becomes clearer.

“I like you.”

It feels strange and painful, but also relieving. It’s like a huge weight has lifted off your shoulders, and the world looks a lot clearer.

“You do? I-” She chokes and coughs. It’s a deep, throaty cough that you can tell means she got a lot of stuff in her lung. “Sorry. Just.”

“It’s okay.” You aren’t sure if you should pat her on the back or not.

After a minute, she recovers. “You do?” The tears in her eyes from the coughing fit mix with new, fresh ones.

You nod and smile. “I do.”

She reaches her hand onto yours. “You don’t just feel sorry for me.”

“I don’t. I think you’re sweet.”

She slowly moves her head closer, like you’re going to play a prank on her. Then she kisses you. It’s light, then a bit heavier. “I think you’re sweet too.”

The two of you sit there for a bit, not sure what to do next.

Lightning flashes again, and you swear that this time you saw something out in the sky. A three headed dragon. “Hydreigon!”

“That’s fitting.” Hana tells you.

“Why is that?”

“You never heard the story about the Hydreigon? I can’t remember the exact poem, but it’s about indecision. They have the three heads, and can’t decide what path to take. So they fight and fight and don’t go anywhere. I think real Hydreigons only have one real head, but I’m not sure. It’s not important. I mean, to the story. In the story, eventually they fight so much that they rip themselves apart.”

“That's...pretty gruesome.”

“Yeah. There are other versions where it just passes out.”

There’s another lightning strike. She squeezes your hand some more.

“So what happens now?”

>>1595710
>Stop twisting the knife please. You're just bringing up why Hana was more and more left field.

Anon herb is for monogamy, he can't do massages to Laki any more because those went lewd. Given what's she's done around us we can't be around her because that could go lewd too and herb won't cheat. Ergo Laki gets the boot.

I was a Lakifag too, but we're going to have to cut ties wit her. Might have to give her Bella too. Because she will probably want nothing to do with us after this.

Just a reminder: As much as we all like Hana, she's used goods. Never give your first time to used goods.

I like the idea of having another heart to heart with Hana. It might placate some of the people who are upset. Additional character development tends to do that in this quest.

>>1595737
He's usually a nice enough guy, except apparently when waifus in other quests are involved. His quests themselves are...okay. Let's stick with okay.

His choices usually consist of

>thing that fits the mood
>other, non-contradictory thing which also fits the mood
>thing which really could have been rolled into the first choice
>joke choice
>write in

So most of the non-combat votes come down to everyone picking three or four things, and then they just all get picked. Write-ins don't change that, but if one gets a lot of votes, it gets added onto the dialogue train.

Not that it matters now but I fucked up the count the first time and a bunch more of you bastards cast invalid votes. Final tally is 20 for Laki, 23 for Hana. It appears that the coalition with the Janefags was enough to give Hana the majority. Will they be able to govern with such a precarious mandate? Only time will tell.

You hold her hand, lift the blanket, and pat a spot. “Want to stay the night?”

She freezes up again. You can’t see her face in the dark.

“I mean, to cuddle! I’m not trying to pressure you into anything!”

She plops down into the bed next to you. You get rolled into closer to her thanks to the weight of her limbs. “Oh man. Cuddling all night. That’s... okay.”

It’s hard not to feel good about how happy she is. “Let me know if you’re too warm, or you need any space.”

She cuddles in close, pressing her butt to your crotch. “This isn’t just because of the closet, right? Or a pity thing? Last chance to back out.”

You squeeze her in your arms. “I like you for you.”

She squeezes back. “Just making sure.”

You both cuddle for a bit. It’s hard to sleep with Hana right next to you. She must feel the same way. She’s full of energy and rubbing her legs together. She turns around. “Know why I like you?”

“Why?”

“You’re trustworthy. Like a knight out of some fairy tale. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you do or say anything dishonest. Do you know how rare that is?”

She cares. Not that the others don't, but they have something stopping them from showing it. Hana cares about everyone and tries to make everyone happy.

>>
>>1595887
People choice the admittedly OOC character, we lost by three votes

three

and to rub salt in the wound we're just fucking cuddling with the bitch. Gobble also won't say anything about it.

so what, we get no closure, no remedy for feeling like all our investment was wasted and we're just told to nut up and enjoy someone we don't like.

piss off, that vote was too close and engineered to make one option superior to the other.

somebody post more birds
>>
>>1595917
Don't play like it isn't, Laki and Herb have a much closer relationship which salty and possessive anons are going to now try to destroy.


Gobble can you please just come out straight with if there is still a possibility of polygamy with Laki.
>>
>>1595909
We're probably going to have give her up after this. Because she will not want to be around us at all.

>>1595897
>>1595922

It's unfortunate that Gobble wanted to end this and anons took their chance to rush a romance votes in a quest allegedly about finding themselves. but that is the breaks. We're stuck with Hana forever now, and we'll need to play Herb as the best monogamous boyfriend ever. Which unfortunately means we will have to renege on Laki traveling with us. For rather obvious reasons.

>>1595932
It isn't, and you're all acting like children.

Also, Gobble has already said poly route is possible but would be hard to pull off. I don't think there's been any sort of official vote on it, but most of the posts I remember said they weren't a fan of the idea.

>>1595941
She's a prospective Li and way too close, we could not be around her without the chance of breaking hana's heart. That has to be avoided, ergo we can't be around her. Romacne and breaking her heart changes everything. This is assuming she doesn't just leave and never come back.

Your complaints are based on you missing how close Herb and Hana have grown over the course of the quest. She wasn't even my first choice and I saw it. Again, I get being frustrated that Laki lost. That's fine, seriously. But that's what most of the complaints are based off of; that, or insisting that the vote was somehow unfair.

Oh no...

What if we can never escape?

Last MAQ was in April

I need my alien monsters that are slowly transformed by sex with an elf

that's a sentence I never expected to write
>>
“I have to tell you something.”

“I’m too sweaty, right? Sorry. I don’t get like that all the time I was just nervous.”

“No no. It’s about that video. I saw it.”

“Oh.”

“I saw your messages about deleting it and I got curious and opened it anyway.”

“Oh.”

“I didn’t realize it was something like that. I’m sorry. I didn’t know what I thought it was. But I know that since you asked me to delete it you didn’t want me to open it.”

She snuggles in closer. “Good.”

“Good?”

“I mean, that you told me. I can forgive you. Anything else I should know?” Her voice makes it sound like she’s unsure how pressing she should make her tone.

Phew. “Umm, well, Laki and I have gotten pretty close.”

“How close?”

You describe that you give her massages, and how sexually charged they can get.

“Wow.”

“Yeah. I understand if that makes you feel uncomfortable.”

She adjusts. “I’ve been taken advantage of before. I trust you. It’s okay. Valerie and I have...also sorta gotten close. A little.”

“Are you sure?” Maybe you didn’t describe it right. “I mean. It can get pretty-”

“It’s fine. I kind of want to watch though. Not because I don’t trust you, but seeing Laki get like that...Uh, sorry.” She cringes. “I’m not scaring you off, right?”

“No. You can’t scare me off”

“I’ll hold you to that.” She nervously laughs.

You cuddle for some more time. She ends up fidgeting a lot. It seems like she’s really uncomfortable. She ends up finally lying still, but even with your eyes closed you can tell she’s awake.

Almost had sex with Laki, just so we know she understands.
Masturbated with Keira once, in a river.
She DID say she's a huge pervert.

Actually, ask her how big of a pervert she is.

>>1596047
>>1596058

this, Bella must be discussed >>1596068


Not so much the Massage part, Aren't only like, 2/5's of her body capable of being massaged anyways? 1/2 if you count the head and torso as separate sections
>>
Having re-read some of my posts, I can see that I was coming across a lot more smug than I meant to, so for what it's worth, I'm sorry about that.

>>1596070
Not gonna lie, the possibility of a threesome with Val is enticing, because even though we're clearly not close to her like we are with some of the others, she hits many of my buttons.

Hell, maybe Laki could get involved, too. I'm not a fan of harems, but if Hana is down for it, a friends with benefits situation might be okay if Hana is always involved too and we make it clear that she's not in danger of being replaced.

What do you other guys think of that?
>>
>>1596087
Torso and head are about 58.1%
>>
>>1596090
Nope monogamy all the way, Laki and bella will just have to deal.
>>
>>1596090
I'm not fond of stuff like that, I admit.
>>
>>1596090
Still sounds like Harem Lite to me.
>>
>>1596090
I'm down for weird kinky sex, but I have no interest in poly. Sex stuff with close friends rarely goes well, usually ends in drama.
>>
>>1596090
If inviting others into the bedroom is something Hana gets off on, cool, maybe we can even get gay times with Polu.

But yeah, we've definitely got to give it time. I don't want Hana to give it the ok because she thinks she's boring to us or something.
>>
>>1596097
I'm normally not either. I just like Valerie and wanted to see what other people thought.
>>1596094
>>1596098
>>1596099
Fair enough, then.
>>
>>1596099
unless you know

the author was Gobble

one of the few people who have successfully pulled it off in the past with no drama.
>>
>>1596090
I'm down for it

>>1596102
I doubt she'll object much
>>
>>1596090
I'm more than down for harem stuff I'm just disappointed that people decided to go for the strange out of character path.
>>
>>1596047
>There’s one more thing you wanted to talk about tonight (write-in)
...also did stuff with Keira.
>>
>>1596102
Exhibitionism is like my number one thing. Hana getting off on getting embarrassed or being exposed in some way would be a nice treat for me.
>>
>>1596109
I'm not saying it is impossible, but more that I have little interest in it. Let's just say if it makes sense narratively i might allow it, but I'm for monogamy all the way.
>>
>>1596090
Feels to similar to what we did last quest. Can't we be monogamous for once?
>>
>>1596109
That's reason enough to do something different this time. It can all be alternate-bins anyways, which is a large part of its appeal.

>>
>>1596120
When literally half the quest wanted the other girl I find that very hard to believe something we'll stick to.

Also for once? Dude there's plenty of quests with monogamy. People are only pushing for poly/casual here because Gobble said it's possible. If Gobble said that harem stuff isn't going to happen people would shut up about it really quick.
>>
>>1596131
Polygamy is incredibly unrealistic

Let it go and stop trying to salvage what is already lost.
>>
>>1596139
But it's literally a thing in quest, it's already confirmed that a couple of the islands have it. Gobble is more than fine writing it, and we have even more of a chance to develop two characters together. What's wrong about that.
>>
>>1596139
>unrealistic
He said, in a quest with magical monsters controlled by anyone from children and geezers using small multi-colored balls
>>
I don't care whether it's realistic or not. I'll be voting against polygamy.
>>
>>1596144
>Gobble is more than fine writing it
Said it'd be head if not impossible and given how we're going to basically spring this in Laki's face hard and cold she's probably going to just withdraw back to her home and leave the group permanently.

>we have even more of a chance to develop two characters together. What's wrong about that.

Because in real life, when you grow up you have to choose, which is one of the major premises of this quest.
>>1596145
Gobble has said repeatedly she is trying to make the relationships realistic.
>>
>>1596144
>>1596156

Fun downtime activity: highlight posts by these IDs and scroll through the thread from the beginning. Watch as the defeatist Lakifag and the harem Lakifag are crushed by external circumstance, argue with the smug dude, and ultimately brought into conflict with each other.
>>
I have yet to read a quest that didn't end up with the MC either banging multiple people or getting nobody. That might say more about me than /tg/ and /qst/ though. Gobble's said that Harem/Poly end is going to be difficult to pull off, and I'm willing to take her word on it. Even ignoring that it's not something I'm personally interested in seeing. I'm sure it'll get some play in the non canon lewdbins, which is cool. I got here too late to vote for routelock but I was having a hard time before this thread picking between Keira, Hana, and Jane.
>>
>>1596158
War...war never changes...
>>
>>1596156
Thus why Herb chose Hana despite the relationship chemistry he had with Laki to the point he got jealous that another dude was flirting with her right?
>>
>>1596158
They just want to TAKE WHAT THEY WANT. Don't be too hard on them.
>>
>>1596167
That awkward-cute confession though, can't make the waifu cry anon
>>
>>1596169
that doesn't even make sense

>>1596167
Anons are idiots and Herb is an impulsive manslut that hates making people cry. Oh well. Trying to go for both will end in tears especially with how we did this. Alone we might have literally gutted and fractured our journey group irreparably, and there is not going to be a recovery from it with Gobble basically nuking pretty much everyone's characterization utterly.

because they have chemistry as well, and the voices in his head decided that they preferred Hana.

he was also jealous that he flirted with Keira, so that means that we should have a foursome with Hana, Laki, and Keira.
>>
>>1596167
Yeah, that's the long and short of it. We had good chemistry with three other girls, too, so we were bound to have to pick one despite good chemistry with the others.

The chemistry Hana and Herb have though is superficial. They are both kind of shy. Laki and Herb though pushe each other to be better and bounce off each other well. They help each other improve.

Avoid lewds? Not likely with this group. It'll happen eventually. Gobble will put out the bait, and it'll be snatched up.

I feel like the Lakifags are a bit to blame here as well, i was mostly neutral with anti-laki leanings, if only because of how vocal Lakifags were

Even as tentative "Hanafag" i feel this was the wrong choice in the end, but hindsight is 20/20

The set-up for this choice, with the sudden confession, was also probably one the worst Route lock scenario's i've seen in a while, but we can only pray everything will be aces
>>
>>1596201
Don't worry, in time you won't feel anything at all.
>>
take this with a grain of salt and I know it's probably beating a dead horse but Hana is probably the most boring avenue to venture down, cripplingly awkward and shy anime girl tropes are so played out to me

not particularly mad, just filled with total apathy towards this quest now

You open your eyes. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah! Why? Am I breathing on your face? Staring too much? Sorry.”

“No. I mean you’re fidgeting a lot.”

“Oh. Sorry. I guess I’m not used to sleeping like this. To be honest it feels sort of weird. But in a good way!” She fixes her hair back. “Guess that’s a sentence I’ll be saying a lot.”

“Want a massage?”

“Oh-okay.”

She gets onto her stomach and you straddle behind her. You get to work on her shoulders. You usually start on the right arm, but that’s not really an option here.

“How’s that?”

“Eh hmmmmg.” She melts.

You’ll take that as an okay. You keep going until a thought occurs to you. “I just thought of something.”

“I can take them off. Just don’t get anything inside the joints and keep them really close. I don’t like being out of reach of them if they’re off. I know how weird that is. Is that okay?”

“It’s not weird.” You assure her. You’re pretty curious about how they come off but let it go for now. “I meant about stuff to tell you. Belladonna is a bit attached to the idea of me and Laki. She sees her as a mom figure.”

“I know.” Hana sighs, sounding a bit sad. “If it’s easier, you can pretend in front of her.”

“What? I couldn’t do that to you. I just wanted to let you know she might be a handful.”

“I’m used to cute pokemon not liking me.” She pauses again. “Sorry. That sounded like a big self-pity thing. It’s not. I just scare some. But I’m fine with it.”

“And since you mentioned you and Valerie. I just want to put it all out there too.” You mentioned your history with Laki and Keira.

“Wow. Okay. Thanks for being honest.” She doesn’t sound jealous. Her tone is hard to tell with her face in the pillow. “You don’t have to massage me if you don’t want to. I’d be okay with whatever else you have to tell me even if you weren’t doing it.”

“I want to. Sorry I don’t have the oils. And it’d be better without that shirt on, but I don’t want you to take it off if you don’t want to.”

She flips around. It’s a bit unnerving at how much power she can generate when she wants. She gives you this adorable, happy smile.

“What?”

“I’m just happy.” She pulls you in. You’re jerked forward like a rag doll. “Sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

Sometime in the cuddling, you fall asleep.

oh please, everyone was vocal. every group shitposted their preferred girl and it went on and on and on

I am calm, but when you sleep around bad things happen. That's pretty much a fact.


>>1596186
Laki is probably going to leave the group and quit her journey.

Bella is going to range anywhere from teen living through a divorce to actively hating us

Jane is going to be disgusted by how we mishandled that despite her advice literally a few hours ago.


>>1596197
I meant how the characters will react from all this. You REALLY think Laki will handle this well? If you do you;ve not read anything with her PoV. Likewise Bella is going to horrible. This is setting a chain reaction that is going to really fuck up the journey group, and given anons are utterly incapable of keeping it in their pants it will get even worse.


>>1596208
It was incredibly poorly set up, but anons voted for it on impulse. We all know how impulsive decisions turn out.

But literally EVERY group shitposted on their girl.
>>
>>1596202
I disagree. I think Herb and Hana have that same dynamic. They push each other to be more open and confident.

But hey, you know what's really good about this, regardless of how you voted? More Hana means more character development for Hana, so you'll probably end up liking her anyway. It'll be okay, anon.

>Laki is probably going to leave the group and quit her journey.

I don't want her, I don't want to end up liking anyone. I want the person I like, and that the MC liked until just now.

>>1596223
Yes, everything will be awful because Gobble hates fun.

>>1596213
You wake up in the morning to your dad flicking your light switch on. “Morning son. Hana.” He’s got a massive grin.

“Uh. Hi dad.”

“Hi dad” he repeats. “Everyone’s having breakfast.”

“Hi Mr. Johnson.” Hana Mareepishly waves, red as a tomato. “We were just-”

Your mom walks by, slapping you dad on the behind and giving him a morning kiss. Her hair's a mess and she’s wearing her shirt backwards. “Morning, stud.” She’s in a bit of a daze and hasn’t noticed you at all.

He smacks her back and playfully chases her off. The last thing you see in the doorway is his thumb’s up.

"Your dad is so cool." Hana seems a lot more confident today. Well, more confident with you. Like you're someone she can drop her shield with.

"Thanks?"

“So how do you want to handle everyone? We can keep it a secret for now if you want. Until the right moment.” She checks over her clothes and straightens them as much she can.

Let's have a chat with her, with Hana there. Seems like the right thing to do. We should probably mention it to Keira sometime, too.
>>
>>1596233
We set Laki back to reset at best

Bella just got told we basically love new mommy more than old mommy or her

Jane still in some ways looks up to Laki, and will not look kindly on us basically divorce 2 boogaloo

>>1596238
>Let’s just go have breakfast and be normal. If people ask, they ask
Sicne there is no salvaging this

>>1596240
He won't, but it'll still happen. WE're basically ripping Laki's heart out and stomping on it, and she can't be around us without hurting. Given we're freidns with the entire journey group and could pop up near them at any time she would break ties. Given she is now super depressed and has no motivation nor anyone driving her she will just quit given her prior habits.

The only reason Herb pushes Hana is because Laki and Val pushed him first. And Hana doesn't push Herb for anything. The only thing she does for Herb is look cute. Even her post confession dialogue has been all about reassuring herself.
>>
>>1596266
Dude you need to calm the fuck down, we were not in a fucking relationship with Laki to begin with it was all in your head. As for Bella she really has no say in our romantic relationships and she'll just have to accept that.

Nope. But I've seen this enough to know where it heads.

I actually don't know why these is an issue to anyone, Laki isn't going to stand for having her man taken from her

Laki is just going to cold cock Hana at some point and make off with Herb in the middle of the night, never to be seen again
>>
>>1596281
She's from the island of men anon, she gets it. Fuck she went on at length with Val about that exact point. Honestly I am not even sure she would have been open to a emotional romantic relationship of that sort with anyone at this point. It's going to be fine, it's over now just focus on pokemon things.
>>
>>1596287
If anything close to that happens we've got an assurance of a lot of people that'll vote, "No Laki! I love Hana! She's shy and sucks dick! Let me go!"
>>
>>1596287
Haha I'd love to see that. And watch Jane get in on the action simply to not be out done
>>
>>1596281
We objectively weren't in a relationship with Laki, though.

>>1596283
As anyone would be if they found out the guy they liked decided to date someone else. She'll get over it. She's a big girl.

>>1596295
Exactly.

I mean, it feels like a lot of things are futile to say when the person I'm talking to is committed to the idea that we've somehow slipped and fallen into a different quest where everything is going to be ruined because we like a girl.
>>
>>1596308
Ross did nothing wrong.
>>
>>1596308
What's going to happen is you going to be arguing logic against emotion. Good luck with that.

>>1596310
No I was saying your argument was utterly futile. We just ripped a girl's heart out and stomped on it, regardless of how official the relationship was. That is going to have serious repercussions.
>>
>>1596310
It's more that Herb liked a girl, got along amazingly with her. She got along with our pokemon spectacularly. Gobble wrote fantastic heart to hearts and the build up was from the very first thread.

And then Anons decided to go for the girl who he'd spoken to a few times who was self-conscious and fucking herb to assure her self worth.

And the argument for it so far that I've seen is: Don't worry she'll get more fleshed out now that we're route locked to her!
>>
>>1596304
Anon stop, were you here for the Robins eye shitstorm?

Shit was so bad anons tried to an hero, and you know what? Gobble turned that into a great piece of the story, anons were wrong and everything was all right. Now I don't think the danger you do exists but even if it did then it doesn't matter. Because this is Gobble writing.

it basically is a different quest, we've gone with the most boring cliche'd worst taste piece of shit character basically ever. it'll never get better, when you sacrifice character development to smooth down everything else and make it easy you've basically killed what you were making in the first place.

“I think we should talk to Laki first, at least.”

“We?” She freezes up.

“You don’t have to come.”

She sighs and offers a brave smile. “I said I’d be supportive. Laki just gets pretty scary sometimes. Usually it’s pretty hot but...nevermind.”

The two of you head downstairs, and you signal Laki to come over to the other room. You get three chairs. Hana grabs your hand.

“So.” Laki says, sipping her coffee, eyes narrow and going between you and Hana.

“So.” Hana keeps her eyes firmly on the floor.

“The fuck is going on here?” Her tone is telling you that she knows.

“Hana and I talked last night and we...” You grab Hana’s hand.

“We’re together.” Hana finishes.

Laki calmly sips her coffee, then sets the mug down. “Oh. Okay. I’m happy for you.” Her voice is flat. “I’m going for a walk.” With that, she stands up, fixes her shirt, and heads out the door. All the while completely calm and collected.

You and Hana exchange a look.

“I should go talk to her.” Hana says. She cringes at her own words, like she regrets saying that almost instantly.

>If you think that’s a good idea
>No, you’ll go
>No. She just needs some time alone
>Something else
>>
>>1596315
Yes, I know what you were saying. I'm saying we didn't just rip out a girl's heart and stomp on it, and that you're committed to overreacting to all this.

This isn't going to ruin our friendship with Laki. It probably isn't even going to hurt it. Laki is probably going to be disappointed, but she's probably going to get over it pretty quickly. She's bro-tier on a level even Polu hasn't yet reached.

I can't speak for him, but I like Hana because she feels like far and away the most realistic girl I've seen in a quest, and she wasn't even my first pick. She feels the most human out of all of them.

Clearly you disagree, but that's okay. That's what I like about her.

>>1596388
just ctrl f gobble, you'll save your mouse and sanity
>>
>>1596388
Hana won after gobble had us vote until every other girl was eliminated. Laki lost by 2 votes.

We just walked downstairs to let Laki know she's SOL.
>>
>>1596378
Her reactions to things, the way she talks, the way she overcompensates for her shyness by trying to be outgoing in short bursts, that sort of thing. She's shy in a way that isn't all stuttering and blushing, which is a good thing, and as odd as this may sound, I like the way Gobble handles her sexuality.

Not even the fact that she's sucked Herb off, but the fact that she clearly has a libido but isn't over the top with it. She has one, and she's bad at hiding it, and she's never sure how much she should be talking about that. It's at very realistic way for a teenager to act.

If you don't find her interesting, that's cool, but I think she's really well written. Even though she wasn't my first choice, I think she's interesting and we'll written enough to be a really solid pick, like Laki.

* Gobble tried to do split voting. But the issue was that everyone could see themselves losing steadily.
>>
>>1596404
No Gobble didn't Laki has been kept off screen for several threads now and suddenly we have Hana coming in for a confession which makes no goddamn sense.
Gobble wanted Hana to win and anons who liked the other characters all spite voted for Hana so Laki wouldn't win.
>>
>>1596404
Gobble should have let us have our own pace
This quest is about growing up and choosing, we're not even half way done with the quest and boom permanent binding inviolate route lock.

Worse it dropped immediately after a confession by the winning girl (which anon warned gobble was a bad idea) and we hadn't had a real talk with any of the others except Jane in a while.

It was poorly implemented and handled, and rushed to boot.
>>
>>1596416
I'll say it another way. If Gobble wanted to be neutral. Or didn't want Hana to win, she chose the single worst time to allow for a route lock.

I'll stick around but you can bet your ass I'm not going to be happy for awhile.
>>
>>1596413
That was the main issue, most people thought "Man, Laki is super popular, the least i can do is vote for Hana" a lot of spite voting, and i'll be honest, i was one of them, and i regret it

>>1596419
Yeah, this routelock just feel disingenuous, Gobble was talking about ending the Waifu Drama last thread, so this feels orchestrated to be as quick and sloppy as possible
>>
>>1596419
I blame myself. When it was a choice between voting for a 'route lock' and voting to think things through more, I didn't vote.

I should have voted to think things over for a while, so you guys could back me up. I know you all look to me for leadership when it comes to voting and I failed. I can't apologize to you enough, fellow anons. I can only promise I won't shirk my responsibilities to you all, again.

I'll tell you because I just joined. Pretty fuc

Ik awesome. We got close-second-best girl and Laki just fucked right off, finally. Couldn't feel any better other than it not being Keira we got together with, but again, Hana is very close second.
>>
>>1596422
It was decided by two votes. If you voted for Hana because poor Hana and are upset now, you're an ass hole.
>>
>>1596408
Eh, I didn't get that impression. There was just as much chance of people picking Laki after their favorite lost, and clearly there was some of that as well.

Despite all the bitching, I think this was done about as fairly as it could have been without dragging this out for dozens of more threads. Because if you want to talk about unrealistic, it's unrealistic to expect the girls to just wait around while Herb takes a thousand years to pick one of them.

>>1596416
It's a proven fact that Gobble loves playing favorites, hates fun, and doesn't want her player base to come back.

“No. I’ll go.” You tell Hana.

“Okay. Umm, good luck!” Hana isn’t sure if she should kiss your cheek or pat you on the back. She lightly headbutts you and keeps her other hand hovering over your back.

“Thanks.”

She gives you a cute, skeptical look, like she’s asking why you’d thank her for that. But you can tell it’s her way of trying to lighten the mood.

You head off after Laki. She went through the back door and somewhere into the woods. It’s easy to follow the trail of destruction of branches and things. Eventually you find her sitting on a rod, face in her hands and tears in her eyes.

“Hey. Are you okay?”

“I’m upset, jackass!”

“Oh.”

“And it’s because you did exactly what I told you. There’s nothing wrong with her! She’s cute, she’s cute, she’s stronger. She’s fucking perfect for you!” She sniffs, and wipes the tears from her eyes.

You don’t know what to say. You just wish you know how to make it better.

Alright, I'm sort of a Jane guy myself, Laki was in second place for me, but if we're going with Hana that's fine to. All the girls are good, so I'm just gonna be a team player and try to make this go as smooth as possible.

On the bright side, I've been pretty dogged about monogomy this whole time, but monogamy with Hana is still likely to include some wild shit.

I back this because the current options all make Herb sound like the biggest cunt on the planet.

The first is a blatant lie.
The second is an insult
The third is asking to be hit.
And the last is pathetic.

I got here too late for the vote, and I know if Laki had won I'd be sad for Hana - I was on the fence between the two. That said, I probably would've voted for Laki. I liked the dynamic between the two. At least the other favourite won, but this still hurts.

People voted for it. A majority, that means Laki fans did. It has been clear Laki was the most popular girl for awhile now, but people came out of the wood work and Hana is the Dr. Pepper of Waifus, almost everyone's 2nd or 3rd favorite.

>>1596527
I'm starting to get flashbacks to getting captured at the end of last quest with how unreasonable people are being. And I was one of those people last quest.

>>1596530
100% Without a doubt
>>
>>1596525
It's really not an option. Hanafags won't break ranks and it'd become a pissing contest and check to see how many people are actually online at a time.
>>1596527
I doubt that statement. The other guy I'm pretty sure means in quest. If he states otherwise then yes, he's insane. Or incredibly young and privileged.
>>
>>1596530
I'm sure some would
>>
>>1596530
Absolutely not. I think some of them would have been sore losers, but I don't think it would have been anything like this.
>>
>>1596530
Not to this degree.
>>
>>1596524
This >>1596526

Mostly emotional distress from a fiction medium, s'probably the better way to say it.

>>1596527
You're a complete and utter brownoser, and calling me crazy isn't going to shift the goalposts enough for me to be wrong.
>>
>>1596530
Due to the more fracturous nature I'm not sure.

Although I'm 100% sure at least one would have. >>1594528
Read that guys post history. He blew up before the vote even started then mocked after Hana won.
>>
>>1596530
Not really, now, if Laki had confessed THEN they lost, i imagine their might be a comparable salt surge, though lessened by the fact not everyone who voted for Hana in the final vote were Hanafags
>>
>>1596535
That is probably right, I think Laki was the waifu of the more vocal voters while Hana was the lurker's choice.
>>
>>1596521
See, it's things like this that made me quit watching anime. I see something sad and it fucks me up for weeks. I cried about the ending (and the middle a bit too) of Gurren Lagan, like, a year after watching it.

I dunno. But this is sad and it hurts, and it's worse because it's pretty realistic.
>>
>>1596537
He's probably the worse egg on the Hanafag side. Most of us are aware of it, I imagine.
>>
>>1596530
Probably
>>
>>1596537
I mean, I'm not, but even if I were, I'd still just be a brown-noser while you'd still be acting crazy.
>>
>>1596539
that's a load of shit, we lost by 2-3 votes at max.

even after a confession
>>
>>1596547
How many lurkers came out of the woodwork to say "Hey I'm here"?

Look at how often normally Laki was favored, but then when it is time to choose, Hana.
>>
>>1596539
No that's completely shit. Laki lost by 2-3 votes, some of them literally saying that they voted for Hana because of not wanting to see her cry after that confession.
>>
>>1596546
The hell am I doing besides posting that's "acting crazy". I'm sad anon, do you not feel emotions?
>>
Wake up, see routelock and Hana won.
I was a Keira and Jane fag myself as I liked them both.
>>
>>1596547
That last minute burst of Awkward-Cute was just what Hana needed, along with the union of other Non-Laki Waifu-fags, to win
>>
>>1596548
>by 2-3 votes

Those could've been proxies you mong, it's so close it's basically not saying anything.
>>
>>1596550
Some of us aren't really effected by writing, no. I'd be interested to (somehow) see how much that corresponds with how much people write their own shit.
>>
>>1596551
Keira apparently never had a shot,which is odd Kiera fags were always very vocal. Jane got kneecapped last thread.
>>
As a Janefag who had to sleep not knowing there was a routelock, I am very disappointed in all of you.

Next time il apply for a proxy vote to avoid another term of the guilt party, I prefer my girls strong and unstable.
>>
>>1596549
I'm not saying that isn't what happened. I'm saying so many lurkers came out of the wood work and that was why Hana pulled ahead. Along with the confession probably, I'm not reading every vote.

>>1596553
I'm not saying it proves anything. I'm saying Laki people are usually the ones to talk more.
>>
>>1596554
It's called emotional investment in the outcome you envision and desire.

And I do write, or did. Life got in the way
>>
>>1596541
Well the thing is is that anime has a degree of separation for me cause i didn't actively participate in the choices that lead the story/character. So sadness and anger can be put under wraps after a bit of just walking away from it.

This stuff haunts me, even if it wasn't my choice that won cause I invested myself a little more than just sit on my ass and just watch.
>>
>>1596554
I don't write anything for fun. Unless you count GMing. But forever GM who took over and hasn't been able to abdicate the position for... 9 years?

all of my other written stuff is shitposting or research papers.

At least getting dumpstered last thread lets us avoid a crying Jane who clams up even harder after being betrayed immediately after opening up to Herb.

It hurts, but looking at the votes we never stood a chance. At least now we can maintain the positive relationship we've built with her.
>>
>>1596565
Wait, fuck, misread. Thought that anon wrote 'strong and stable'. Need to slow down.

>>1596564
Was thinking that maybe having 100% agency with other fictional material might lead into a bit of jadedness or distance, but again, maybe not.
>>
>>1596565
It became a chore you know? When it stops being fun there's no reason to keep going.

Which is one of the reasons I admire gobble so much
>>
>>1596572
I think the key there (maybe) is to make it fun somehow. Try a different medium or just do a little every now and then. Dream journals, expound on those, idle thoughts, just keep putting figurative pen to paper. Write smut.
>>
>>1596550
I don't freak out at people, call them ass-lickers and claim I've never been more sad about a fictional thing than when the girl I liked best in a quest thread lost a vote by two or three votes.

There's a difference between being emotionally invested in a story and acting like a fucking child.

Seriously, I get that you're upset. I do. The fact that you're upset isn't the problem I have with you, or anyone who's upset about the outcome. The problem I have that you're choosing to project it by whining about how unfair it all is and how Gobble didn't give you a fair shake, and then when people point out that it was fair and that Gobble did everything she could to make the vote fair, you bitch harder and call people ass-lickers. There are people in this thread who voted for Laki but who aren't being babies about this. Those people aren't getting called crazy.

I tries throwing Gobble a compliment because I liked the thread, I appreciate the effort Gobble put onto trying to make this fair, and I wanted to show that, and then you two decides that clearly meant I was a sycophant. That's why you're being crazy. It's not just you, and it's not just the other anon, either. It's all the people complaining in here.

So please, just cool it. This seriously isn't worth this level of vitriol.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know you felt that way about me.”

She looks up at you like you’re the dumbest person on the planet. “Really?”

“I mean, physically there was a lot there. But I thought that was just all it was for you. That you saw me as a friend.”

She slumps back into her arms and sighs. “Yeah. That’s my fault. I’ll own it. That’s exactly the message I gave.”

“I really am sorry. I should have seen it coming. I never meant to hurt you this badly.”

“Don’t get too big of an ego.” She gives you a sideways glance. “I’ll get over a crush, Herb I’m a big girl. I just really liked journeying with you. Dating or not, I wanted more.”

“What are you talking about? That doesn’t have to end.”

“It doesn’t?”

“No. At least, she’s never said anything like that. And she doesn’t even have a problem with the massages.”

“Huh. She said that?" Laki takes a moment to collect herself. "Well, I feel like a moron.” She sniffs. “Damn. I really made an ass of myself. Huh? It just feels so sudden. I know that things change in life and all that garbage, I just feel side-lined and shitty, you know?” She looks away. “And stop looking at me like that.” There’s a slight hint of joviality in that last comment. But most of it is still hurt-sounding.

“I just wish I knew what to say to make this better. I was put on the spot and rushed in without thinking. Which is exactly what I said I wouldn't do. I have no idea what the heck I'm doing”

“What.” She stops sniffling. “You were surprised? You felt sorry? You didn’t see it coming? That’s flaming Rapidash shit, Herb. This has been brewing for a long time. And if you’re going to have that attitude towards Hana, then I feel sorry for her! I feel sorry for you. What a bitter, sad-sack way to handle your life. ‘Oh boo hoo, I’m not responsible for what I do or think or choose. Life is unfair!’ Take some ownership of your life, Herb.” She stands up. “I was upset before, but hearing you of all people say that really pisses me off!” She kicks a rock over. “Seriously, who says that? I’ve never seen this side of you.”

You're right people warned a route lock was coming because of a stupid confession.
At no point did Herb say he wasn't responsible. I thought the intent was, "I should have handled this better and told you beforehand about how I felt." Not everything was a mistake .

(although I sure as fuck think it was.)

Man I did not expect today to be the day this inevitable shitstorm happened. I feel like we still barely know all the other people we're adventuring with. Especially Val.

Laki is implying things from our words that aren't true

Seriously, since when was Herb actually confident about romantic relationships, its been the major point of his character after coming home

I'd be pretty off kilter in Herb's place. Everyone seems to think Herb's a more together guy than he really is.

I find myself draw to you and Hana and Keira and Jane and Valerie, and oddly enough Polu. I cant really explain it. Yea its been a crazy ride and I wouldnt trade it for anything. You have been pushing me to take control of my life and butter to biscuits i have been trying. Then, while I'm trying to figure things out, I'm hit from every direction. Keira wanting to do a ritual, Jane asking me what i want after our date, Hana confessing how she feels to me and now...this. I have feelings for a lot of you and I'm trying to sort it out. I'm not trying to hurt anyone; i've been doing as i've always done and thats to try and please everyone. And this is the one situation i cant and the way things look its someone is gonna get burnt like the first time i made brownies. So when i say i dont know what i'm doing, i mean it. Yes, I really like Hana. Those feelings are genuine. But I do have feelings for you as well. Dont ever question that.

Gobble used it exactly as was written, how the hell is that not as intended? Stop blaming the QM for a bad write-in.

>>1596610
Pretty much this. Honestly, I'm annoyed so many people voted to backpedal on this shit. Beyond douchey response.
>>
>>1596624
It isn't saying we are gonna back out of the relationship though or that we felt sorry for Hana. Laki is the one putting words in our mouth
>>
>>1596612
I'm crying again and remembering my own life's low points. When I felt like a dissapointment to the people I cared about. When all I could see was my weakness. When I felt expectations were all set above my potential. So I feel like I know what Herb's going through and might do.

10/10, crying in bed, the purpose of art is to provoke emotions, would panic again.

I mean, i feel as though there's more to it than that, personally i find this an opportune time for some Herb Growth develling into untouched parts of his character, but i can understand you find it tiring
>>
>>1596627
It's not as intended because even if you copy the words down Laki didn't take the meaning behind them properly. Or gobble didn't.

The meaning as I took it was not, 'I REGRET HANA!" I took it as, "I should handled this better and talked to you about your feelings first."

see >>1596598
>At no point did Herb say he wasn't responsible. I thought the intent was, "I should have handled this better and told you beforehand about how I felt." Not everything was a mistake .

>I made a big decision and I don't know what I'm doing

>YOU HATE YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND ONLY HOOKED UP WITH HER OUT OF PITY?

I think it's about time Herb let some of his inner doubt/weakness/whatever slip out. This seems like a good time. I've been wanting it to happen for a while now, actually, but there hasn't really been a good point for it.

I mean, in the last quest, Kat had a near full on nervous breakdown about her and Robin at one point and that was amazing to read.
>>
>>1596639
>near
>>
>>1596631
I'm very much in favor of Herb growth. The write-in felt like anons who didn't like the result of the vote were trying to throw in one last little "fuck you" to Hana getting chosen, even before Laki seemed to misunderstand, assuming she did. Maybe that's not the intention. That's just what it looked like to me.
>>
>>1596639
Nah, people just want to bottle this up for now. Better let it boil over another 25 threads from now.
>>
>>1596633
>The meaning as I took it was not, 'I REGRET HANA!" I took it as, "I should handled this better and talked to you about your feelings first."
That doeant make any sense. He wouos have talked to her if anons votes they liked her more. There's nothing poorly handled.

The write in comes off as salty regret.
>>
>>1596638
I read it as I was confused and said yes to her and now this is what im stuck with basically. That entire vote was just an attempt to cause a shit storm and back ou of a waifu vote like a shit head and then trying to deflect the intent by saying of that isnt what I meant Gobble is a dum dum
>>
>>1596640
"Near" in that she didn't end up in the psych ward.

I loved Fucked-Up-Kat. In some ways she was less interesting as she started "getting over" things.
>>
>>1596642
See i'd rather get it down and explored with now while we're close to all of our possible supports, especially with our Family being nearby
>>
>>1596645
I guess I didn't see it that way, but I can see how people see it like that. I just assumed it was being very literal like Herb usually is with no hidden meaning.
>>
>>1596644
That's how I read it too. It sounded like Herb was saying he only picked Hana because he didn't know Laki was interested, which doesn't make any sense. Again maybe that wasn't the intention, but that's how it sounded, and given the rest of the thread, it seemed likely that it was meant that way.
>>
>>1596641>>1596644


No, I wasn't trying to throw a fuck you at Hana. I think I'm stuck with her.

Maybe saying it like this is better: I thought it was a half-assed apology to Laki for leading her on.

I'd still like a poly relationship at this point. But I'm not sure it's in the cards.
>>
>>1596646
Flaws are fun to screw around with, I think. And generally as she was getting over shit it was moving into the Hornbeam stuff.

The main saving grace of the current situation is that you sort of expect Herb to fuck up somehow. Things will at least be interesting.

the Lakifags do know that Laki is gonna want less to do with us because of their spiteful writein, right?

you pretty much cemented Hana as the waifu till the end of the quest, and if the harem wins, Laki probably won't be in it.

I didn't see it as spiteful.

Hopefully enough people pointed out that Laki is interpreting things wrong to let Herb explain what he meant. Because IC would Herb really ever say anything spiteful?
>>
>>1596647
That's just the thing. You love your support network. You want to be the one to help them. You don't want to bother them with your problems or make them worry by seeing you low. So you run, you hide, you turn off your phone and you try to block out the world. You've built up a persona of being the one who is kind, who is patient, who is understanding, and if they see you weak, if they see you angry, what would they think if you then? So you wall yourself off and you cry. You hide in the basement every day and you cry because you're never going to be able to be what they need from you. And you're not really doing anything to make it better and you're cutting people out of your life so it just gets worse. And you start to hate yourself because you know that's what's happening.

Shit sucks when your persona of being in control starts to come down.

Man, i know it is, but i REALLY hope "She’s right. You’re just emotional" doesn't win, or if it does, at least all of the other options are worked-in in someway

That whole line just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, mainly because we'd be apologizing for words that didn't even come out of our mouth, they we're put there
>>
>>1596638
For the record, I read it pretty much the same way as Laki did, so I still think it was poorly worded. If it didn't come off as intended, maybe some clarification is in order, I guess? Something kinda like,

>>1596577
>Something else
>"Cheese wiz, Laki, that's not what I meant! I'm sorry for cursing, but I have a lot of feelings right now! I don't regret that I'm with Hana, and if I had the choice again, I still would be. I can't be sorry about that. But what I am sorry about is that I didn't handle things better with you. I should've talked to you about how you, and I, felt before springing this on you."

Remember when we were on that hill and people were saying how her story reminded them of their own failings?

It's like that. I've moved on in a big way, but Herb is a character I identify with a lot so this is hitting pretty close to home right now.

I'm shaking right now. But in the morning I'll still be in a good place in my life. It's just a reminder of my insecurities and low points.

I figured it'd be better than trying to explain to Laki that she's not catching the meaning over Herb's speech. She's obviously upset and now she's turning it into something to lash out at Herb with.

“You’re right. I’m just emotional. I didn’t mean it like that. I meant that I didn’t handle it well and I should have told you how I felt before, not that I wasn’t responsible. I'm not going to back down or treat her worse than I would anyone else, I'm just telling you how it happened and want to try making my friends happy too.”

She paces back and forth, then grabs you by the scruff and picks you up, then sets you down and paces some more. “It’s a bullshit attitude even when you phrase it like that. Less so, but it still makes you sound like less than a man.”

That hurt. “That’s a bit harsh. Cheese wiz, Laki, that's not what I meant! I'm sorry for cursing, but I have a lot of feelings right now! I don't regret that I'm with Hana, and if I had the choice again, I still would be. I can't be sorry about that. But what I am sorry about is that I didn't handle things better with you. I should've talked to you about how you, and I, felt before springing this on you."

“What do you mean tell me how you felt? You chose Hana, Herb! And I'm fine with that but now you're making it seem like you’re not committed. It sounds like you had feelings for me too, which is super messed up to say the night after you banged her. What am I supposed to make of that? I didn’t feel like anything was sprung on me until this conversation right now.” She paces again. “What exactly are you trying to say here? Would knowing how I felt make you ask me out instead of her? Because right now you’re going from something I can get over with beer and fight to really confusing.”

Normally I ignore you because I dislike namefags on general principle and that means every post of yours automatically irritates the hell out of me (Doubly so because you also have a tendency to blog-post, so both of those factors come together to make me feel like you're a really self-absorbed shithead.).

BUT I'll suppress that for now and go ahead and tell you this time that you'll probably be happier if you just calm down and stop engaging those feelings.

It's not a black and white, good/bad axis between suppressing your shit down deep or being free and open, it's a spectrum.

When you engage your feelings TOO much, you end up wallowing in a recursive loop where you're practically talking yourself into having even more hardcore feelings by over-validating them.

Just fucking relax, watch some YouTube or something in the background. I think if you just ferment like this you're going to end up worse off. My ship sunk here today, and I got over it in all of 5 minutes because I'm choosing not to dwell on it. In the spirit of brotherhood I'll just say that we need to be chill to avoid a shitstorm, and that's easier when we're all *trying* to be chill.

It really would have, it's a charged statement to make, but I do think it would have. We can temper it slightly, but honestly, right now while she's accusing us of not being a man I think a rambling, long excuse or dodging it is going to be received way fucking worse.

It would have made a difference, but it won't change anything now. Just have to get it out there and stay in it.

Guys, if we go for the "Yes, it would have" option, we're fucked. That's so hurtful. It'd make us out to be blaming her for us dating Hana, and it would completely disrespect the girl we chose. It's just so petty.

Btw, I would have voted for Laki had I been on earlier, but sucks to be me, I guess. I just don't want what he have now to crash and burn.
>>
>>1596782
I kind of interpreted that as "yes, there would have been less hard feelings, but we'd still have made the same decisions".

Vaguely recall something about writing our intentions with our votes.
>>
>>1596782
Yeah, not a fan of that. But at the same time the write-in with it also says no.
>>
>>1596765
It was voted for. Get it? Voted.

It wasn't even a forced poll; we voted to have the fucking poll, and have it right now. That was a choice, we weren't forced into it.

I'd even go as far as to say you probably voted for it and are now having a meltdown because it didn't go your way. Guess what? I lost too. But I'm not going to start throwing a pretty little tantrum over it.

>>1596782
I'm in the same boat as you, but you're really reading into that too much, in my opinion. She wants us to be a fucking man about our choice, which means being straight up open about it without trying to weasel out of it. Will it be HARDER than running away? Yeah. But it'll be better in the long run if we just plow through it now. It's not a petty insult or anything if we don't intend it that way and are just trying to air out our feelings.
>>
>>1596782
Herb is emotional, he isn't thinking straight, its supposed to hurt right now, but after a bit of lost Herb adventures in self-discovery, and we come back, then we heal the wounds and hugs and big cookout, and more hugs

Some do some don't.

It could be interpreted as, "I like you and Hana."
"If you had asked me first I would have chosen you."
"If had asked me first I would have turned you down."

I voted No/Yes/Run. Basically I think Herb is a mess.

The entire problem stems from Girls asking Herb instead of Herb being enough of a man to go and ask a girl.
>>1596797
Oh can I play this game too? Herb would never choose Hana. It's those damn Hana fags.

What Cook doesn't love Christmas Cake?

No, she asks us "Would knowing how I felt make you ask me out instead of her?"
To which we can say No, or Yes.
Yes would tell her that we picked Hana cuz she asked first, but that we truly care for Laki. This is horrible, because it means we didn't have the spine to say no to Hana, and we put the blame on Laki for this mess, and admit to being unhappy with our new girlfriend. That's such a horrible thing to say.
>>
>>1596800
but, it wasn't the Hana fags, it othergirlfags trying to ruin chances with Laki.

And people that just didn't want to make Hana sad, even though, with all said and done, they like Laki better.
>>
>>1596705
Oh hey, my write-in got included even though it was so late. Oh hey, it still made things kinda worse.

>No. You just didn’t want to hurt anybody

This shit keeps getting harder to vote on. Whether it would have actually made a difference aside, we need to commit to the choice we've made, and if we really don't want to hurt Laki, just tell her there was nothing she could've done. Dishonest? Potentially. But like she said, she can get over it that way.

“No. You just didn’t want to hurt anybody.”

“Well okay!” She stops pacing and takes a deep breath. “You’re a sweet guy, Soft Hands. I know you do-”

“And well, yes, it would have made a difference.” You’re so confused. You can’t think about what ifs and causality and emotions and everything right now.

“What.”

“And no, we didn’t bang! So there.” You’re sweating, breathing heavily, and don’t know what to do. You just start running. And just as you’re leaving the scene, you see Hana. She looks as emotionally confused and hurt as you feel.

You didn’t want anybody to be hurt. You keep running. And running. And running. And you can't outrun anything.

How did you mess this up so badly?

[Going to call the thread there. This was a pretty wild ride today. Don’t worry, the world isn’t ending yet, as much as Herb believes it is. Although he has dug himself one heck of a hole. I'll be around a short while to answer questions/take death threats.]

you are one of the types of people mentioned, you know some people actually hate laki right? meaning they would rather have hana, so it comes to reason that when faced with only too options people are going to vote for the person they like more.

of course it was fucking fair anon both sides voted for it, Hanafags because they thought it was her best chance and Lakifags because they were overconfident. Your side gambled and they lost so don't be a sore loser about it.

To be fair, there is actually some inherant bias there, what with having a routelock waifu vote right after having one of the girls (a moe woobie no less) confess her feelings.
>>
>>1596855
I'd say a week would be good, need to get away from everything and be Herb for awhile. Spirit vision quest style
>>
Of course Hana heard, you fucking idiots. UGH. I hate so many of you so much right now. and OF COURSE we voted to say "yes, if only you confessed to me I would have chosen you as best girl!". What the fuck, anons. I'd say I'm surprised, but I'm not.

How can Hana ever believe what we say about our feelings ever again? And do you think Laki's gonna think we're manly now? Just wow.

Dude that is most of our journey.

and why shouldn't I?

your side was pulling bitch ass tactics before the lock and you sure as hell are pulling them after, just look at the current situation with Herb as an example.
>>
>>1596817
Hey Gobble, what would our aura look like to Keira right now?

Also, thanks for running, and I hope things work out for Herb (and us).
>>
>>1596869
We can't CHOOSE Laki to be best girl. She's already best girl on her own merits. We voted wether to recognize it or not, and chose wrong.
>>
>>1596871
No we've been adventuring with friends, we havent been alone and on our own very long. This will do us good.

Unfair media bias against Laki!

Laki would have won had she not been subjected to the unprecedented attacks by Gobble and the Hana, aided and abetted by the suppression of the vote, particularly in Kanto!
>>
>>1596845
That's the thing though. That dwindling kind of poll is the exact kind of thing that encourages anti-voting as a QM Gobble should have known that.

Hell, just last thread there were people talking about sabotaging any future Laki votes. And I'm willing to bet they are the same people who are calling foul now that they perceive their anti-voting to be turning back on them. Add in that Gobble picked the most inopportune time to put in a vote to routelock and you have a recipe for 'Oh wow, what a surprise I totally didn't see this outcome coming!'

If the true votes had been taken with people voting for the person they liked most then Laki would have won the poll. But instead the pool got smaller and smaller till you had more people that wanted to see Laki lose than wanted to her to win, rather than voting for the one they liked most.or made the most sense to them. It was a predictable situation that resulted in a predictable outcome in which no one is happy and there is a verifiable source for it.
>>
>>1596869
If nothing else, I think it's obvious that Herb is confused and highly emotional and not sure exactly everything he's feeling. Hana, being who she is, would hopefully understand those kinds of weird confusing moments. So I hope she'll be willing to listen.
>>
>>1596865
Well, we also literally just had a date with Jane, and she didn't make it either.

I think people pretty much knew what they wanted the whole time, and if they didn't it's more likely they just didn't vote at all.

>Dude that is most of our journey.

A Solo Journey is far different than journeying with friends, where the discovery is primarily of EACH OTHER, and not of oneself

WHY ALL THREE. NO. Truly this is the worst of all possible outcomes.

Honestly, I'm pretty damn unamused by all the salty dipshits trying to self-destruct Herb, but you know what? I'm gonna roll with it. Gobble-Jesus take the wheel. Let's see where it goes.

It kind of sucks that Herb might as well be married to Hana, and that's not anyone's fault but the nature of quests. In the real world, dating isn't as much a commitment since things might not work out, and people move on, but in quests if people aren't compatible it's the QM's fault, so Gobble is all but forced to make Hana+Herb work, unless somehow people come to a consensus that Hana isn't what's best for Herb.

In other words, rout-locking now is kind of shitty because it's a way bigger commitment for the players than it is for Herb.
>>
>>1596889
I voted Laki on the first and 3rd votes, Hana on the second, and abstained from the last vote, thinking I'd be happy whichever way it turned out. Then I wasn't happy with how it turned out.

Laki's my favorite. I messed up and have no one to blame but myself

How much did Hana hear, and what is she thinking?

There's been a lot of tense and emotional moments throughout this quest and the previous Pokemon Quest you ran, so I know we'll move on from here. Love you Gobble!

I'm pretty chill actually but My Waifu.
Gobble betrayed my Waifu for the cyborg re-run.

In that case, never stop eating shit my friend.

And as Hana would say

"Hompf! Mhhh! Auumm! Mmmf!"

Because Herb's dick is in her mouth, and not Laki's.
>>
>>1596889
alright I have a question, assuming everyone plays along roughly how many threads would you predict it will take to dig ourselves out of the hole we just put ourselves in?
>>
with all this shit going on and what herb has said I wouldn't be surprised if all this just undone the route lock option.
>>
>>1596894
Honestly i hope we stew in the hole for awhile.
>>
>>1596908
At least your favorite was top 2. Poor Jane was doomed due to lack of real development. (Despite being the best girl)
>>
>>1596912
We'll never break free. Fated to wander the caverns beneath for all time.

For real? I'd say 3. Could be anywhere from 1-5, but I'm thinking 3.
>>
>>1596912
>Thinking the anons won't just keep digging down from now on
>>
>>1596915
Jane was my second. I watched her get kneecapped only to watch Laki get run over by a cyborg. There is no justice in this life.
>>
>>1596913
I'm hoping Hana is understanding enough to not end a relationship based on the obviously confused ramblings of Herb under immense emotional turmoil.
>>
>>1596914
I wouldn't mind it either, but I don't want us to go too far into suffering. Some yes, but not too much.

>>1596919
Agreed. Someone in this mess has to be rational and I'm hoping that can be Hana.
>>
>>1596915
The only two who've had real development were Hana and Laki, Heck we barely started scratching the surface of Keira. personally i was hoping we could've spent more time with Jane, Valerie and Polu.

But..it sadly, is what it is.
>>
>>1596916
was asking Gobble but thanks for your input.
>>
I think everything went fine; everyone comes to Herb when they need to vent or whatever, but Herb really only opens up to others in return or to his Pokemon

I think if a Confused Herb was looking for some form of comfort or advice from Laki and ended up getting belittled for it, this reaction is rather appropriate

Though after Herb comes back i want him to vent about having to carry everyone's burdens but no one is seemingly willing to carry his, at least not without something in exchange, and i think this is only an opportune moment bring the group closer as a whole
>>
>>1596912
I'm pretty sure you can't dig yourself OUT of a hole, but I wouldn't put it past this thread to try.

But yes, I am also curious as to just how deep in we are. Everyone's pissed and hurt, but HOW pissed and hurt is everyone? Will we be able to ever put this behind us, or is it always going to be hovering there, even if we fix our relationships?
>>
>>1596909
I'm angry anon, I want the object of my anger to understand why I'm angry.

If that requires acting like a typical anon so be it. I want my grievance to be noticed and not fucking ignored while sycophants swarm the qm.
>>
>>1596913
My best case scenario is that Herb (and/or Laki and Hana) realize that he basically said yes to the first person who proposed to him, because he really does like all of them. Then maybe actually go on regular dates with everyone so we can actually get to know the others at least as well as Laki, if not better.

I don't even dislike Hana, I just disagree with a route-lock so early in the quest.
>>
>>1596919
I'm hoping she's understanding enough to know Herb has no idea what he feels and is very confused.
>>
>>1596912
Hopefully not too many. I just want to do cute things with Hana and bond with our Pokemon. It will be nice to go on a journey of self discovery with Hana and really learn about ourselves and one another once we are done with all this shit. Thanks again, asshurt Lakifags, for drawing this out longer than it needs to be.
>>
>>1596930
Him liking Hana is an established thing now, but he's definitely got a ton of jumbled up feeling and repressed thoughts.

>>1596921
I dont see us drowning in depression for very long. Herb is strong of heart and will rise again. Think of it this way anon, He's kind of like Mace right now. Do we 'evolve' or do we remain as we were?
>>
>>1596934
It wasn't just lakifags that voted to run away and say yes anon. Don't let your salt blind you
>>
>>1596939
oh man that was a great laugh, thanks anon. Hopefully we can eventually make friends with the herbshroom
>>
>>1596937
Good to know that, at least. I know a lot of people aren't too thrilled with the proceedings, but I don't want the relationship to die before it even gets started.

It was a good run, Gobble, if a tiring one.
>>
>>1596916
to be honest I wouldn't mind a few threads where it's just herb and his pokemon, we really need to flesh out our own character before we even start doing shit
>>1596919
If she it just proves that she is a good option for waifu, if not then she really isn't worth it and we can just choose to not have a waifu for the quest, which would be interesting to see.

Whilst i am defending the choice of some anons I will agree that this route lock thing shouldn't have happened then and their, it should have happened like when herb is alone and has to think about who he really cares about.
>>
>>1596937
You probably got enough people saying what to do, but one full day is probably enough for people to calm down somewhat.
>>
>>1596937
"Too long" like an hour or like a week?

Because I crave that solitary introspection, and I know how easy it is to run away.
>>
>>1596935
Yeah, but he's also pretty clearly established as liking Laki too, probably Keira, and possibly Valerie and Jane as well. It's adorable, but not unique.

Why? The sheer level perfection expected from Herb seems incredibly unfair to him, he should be allowed to explore his feelings and vent without being called out or insulted for it, thats why he ran in the first place, or at least thats how i interpreted it
>>
>>1596937
We know Hana's upset, but understanding, Keira would barely recognize Herb's aura.

What is Laki thinking? Did anyone else hear the yelling?

The issue is that he is usually pretty mature all things considered, but now he's apparently self-destructively flipping the fuck out over a choice that he made himself with very little pressure, and it seems out of character.

While it's a shit storm behind the scenes, in-character nothing really super bad happened to Herb, and he started his relationship with Hana of his own volition. This is coming out of nowhere and he looks deeply unstable, which is the opposite of what he's always been before.
>>
>>1596960
I think so? 1 or 2

It was one of the first times we explored her past heavily.
>>
>>1596956
Y'know, that's kind of another reason I'm pissed (aside from Mai Waifu losing). deciding to make that soufflé for one of the girls was supposed to be the routelock really. That's kinda been it's purpose since the beginning.
>>
>>1596962
Straw that broke the camel's back.
>>
>>1596956
You're shitting me. Was there a souffle for route locking or was it just discussed?
>>
>>1596965
Yeah I liked the blue feather. I missed the votes leading up to the route lock to fucking chores because I thought we were just eating a fucking bento.

>>1596969
It seemed heavily implied to me.
>>
>>1596962
He hurt one of his friends through deliberate action, which is apparently not a situation he is prepared to deal with in a mature fashion. I can buy that.
>>
>>1596969
...I mean it was one of the first things we ever really brought up about Herb when we were discussing his grandad and love of cooking.
>>
>>1596962
Thats because a situation where Herb would be stress-tested like this has never come up before

Its not Herb's fault they'd be inconsolable train wrecks without him around HE HAS to be the "mature" figure of the group, maybe if he goes missing for a bit they'll understand he's more than a Kind heart, Soft Hands, Cute face and a Free meal

>>1596963
This makes me think about how awesome Kat and Robin's relationship was. I really hope that, whoever Herb ends up with at the end, it's as good as the last quest. That way, I can look back at all this salt and appreciate how it all served to build Herb's character, the same way I look at the salt in the last quest.
>>
>>1596977
as long as it's not 10 I'm happy, I can be patient just not that fucking patient.
>>
>>1596978
Kat was cooler than Herb though. Robin was a good girl. but she had no competention till it was too late so there was minimal salt on that front.
>>
>>1596936
I get that, I just can't forget that the whole reason Laki exists at all in this quest is because of gfd fetishists from the last quest. I like her and all (I would have been okay with any of the girla honestly) but still. I feel a lot of the Lakifags just have a boner for femdom.

>>1596940
I'm not salty that this could end things with Hana, I'm orritated that we have to have more threads dedicated to muh waifu drama and shitposting. That's not to say I don't enjoy Gobble's writing as I think she could make paint dries quest entertaining, but it turns anons into absolute pains to read.

I mean Waifulock usually happens either naturally or during the last arc of the quest

Forced Route Lock events like this are a rarity nowadays
>>

Most quests are terrible. A good 90%

Exceptions to the Rule: Gobble, Crusty J

There are a few others. But I can't think of them off the top of my head, and Crusty literally died.

>>1596995
Occasionally you'll have a designated waifu, or the QM forces a harem route to make no one upset, or everyone latches onto the first opposite sex character that looks at the protagonist.

rectal cancer I thought?

Just let it go. No joke, you need to seek help.

Given what some anons are talking about how herb is the mature one of the group I would really like him to realise how strong he his ( he kept them together for this long without breaking down despite everyone questioning and his insecurities, I would haev cracked on the 2nd day of this) and maybe relise that a lot of people have taken him for granted because of how he seems to handle a lot of stuff, I mean whilst laki has helped him with the money he really has had no one to really fall back on because he is expected to be so well at handling stuff.

[Ah. Sorry.
Laki is confused and upset. She has/had a crush on Herb but was willing to get over it after awhile. She's had crushes before. Herb kinda really threw a wrench into that.

As for who overheard? Well, at least Hana. We'll have to wait and see if anyone else did.

Herb's grandfather would be a little disappointed, but understanding. Herb's a good boy but man is he not handling his own issues with hurting people well. He'd hate to see him hurting and want to talk some wisdom and calm into him.]

In my experience, that is a good way to get a rude awakening. 3 out of 5 times, they barely notice you're gone. The other 2 times, they go over what happened in their head and increasingly convince themselves you were the bad guy, or worse, talk about you behind your back, and you come back to more dire straits than you were in when you left.

Then again, maybe I've just had really shitty personal experience. Even so, this still really makes me uneasy.

Yeah. And one of them I can even see and talk to within a few minutes to a few days if I try.

It probably sounds worse than it is, but sometimes it's the people you care about who you don't want to talk about something with.

There's something freeing about talking to someone you don't have to worry about seeing again.
>>
>>1597033
In my experience true friends, which are rare, will always be there for you.

We still have that at least.
>>
>>1597029
To be fair gobble don't you think that everyone's opions on him are a bit to hard for someone to maintain, everyone expects him to be some sort of saint. Herb at the end of the day is a human, a good human but still human, he may have made bad choices but that doesn't make him a bad person, no one can be excepted to handle all their issues on their own and yet nearly everyone seems convinced that herb can, we have talked about them but talk isn't enough sometimes.
>>
>>1597033
I've got mixed results. Sort of like people are wildly diverse.

None of Herb's friends send up any real warning signals to me. (Jane mellowed a but, Valiere worries me but so far so good. The way she treated that mans daughter..)
>>
>>1597034
My dude, do you honestly think you deserve it?
>>
>>1597041
My dude, I deserve at least some answer. Right now Gobble is answering every little inane bullshit question except the one that matters.

As soon as she/he answers it I'll be gone. Although they're probably just going to sleep and will ignore me anyway
>>
>>1597037
As a note. I was a true friend to someone until they started fucking up so bad It'd put my livelihood in jeopardy.

Like just crazy ass stupid shit. You can't get mad at someone for not throwing away their life to cover your ass. Goes both ways.
>>
>>1597037
My point is that there's not really anything better solved by absence/silence than by a straightforward conversation, in my opinion. When you're not there, the conversation is still ongoing, just one-sided. But I guess we'll see how this plays out.
>>
>>1597039
[Yeah. That's a good point. Herb has been incredibly helpful and giving and understanding with the others. I think under sober thought they'd be willing to cut a lot of slack. Herb might have had a bit of a moment there, but as long as there's some time to cool and communication afterwards, it's nothing that can't be chalked up to teenagers being emotional]
>>
>>1597050
You know, it's not too much to ask. I understand you have a reputation to maintain and a readerbase, I've been there.

And yes I've been acting like an asshole, I was caught up in the emotion, but you ignoring me isn't going to make my question any less pertinent or valid.

You can't possibly think that was fair, can you? Can you just give me this please? I respect you and enjoy your writing, but come on.
>>
>>1597050
I think this goes past herbs teenage hormones, this has be really a big land mine waiting to go off and yet no a single friend and noticed it, herbs main personalty feature is his willingness to help someone even if he gets hurt and doesn't get anything out of it, but because he keeps doing it it starts taking a toll on him emotionally and physiologically. no of his friends have ever been as willing as he is to help someone. imagine of how of this good have been avoided if herb was told it's okay to be a little selfish sometimes
>>
>>1597052
Yeah, I don't think you're going to get validated. Just go to bed.
>>
>>1597052
Go to sleep Captain Ahab.
>>
>>1597055
This isn't about validation, it's about a QM admitting a mistake or defending their position. When the only defense against the question is others ridiculing the person asking it, which I rightfully deserve for my behavior, the question isn't invalidated.
>>
>>1597061
Look, I want an explanation just as much as you, but if it hasn't been asnwered at this point, it's not going to be.

Check back in the morning, maybe you'll get an answer then.

>>
>>1597061
[In retrospect it wasn't perfect timing or setup. It wasn't intentional.]
>>
one thing I really want to see in his time alone is herb to get rid of this righteous behaviour of helping everyone because whilst it is a good thing it goes against being a human, I always imagined that herb is constantly at ends with him self due to a duality he has, this side that wants to help everyone and make everyone happy and his human selfish but rational half knowing he can't do it and he should learn that.
>>
>>1597061
I should rephrase what I meant. It's probably a question better asked when you're not tired and still emotionally drained, yeah?

>>1597072
That's a good gif.
>>
The only thing I'm salty about is jane not getting shafted before this vote.
Her and laki have the best character arcs by far, you can see gobble enjoys writing them

This soul searching side quest is a good chance to maybe get to know val or polu. Those 2, kiera and laki have always been the most helpful and supportive of herb with criminally little thread time

I honestly think we've fucked things with hana and maybe laki though
[Spoiler] poison gym milf or polu Gay route out of nowhere [/spoiler]
>>
>>1597074
well thanks for answering, I'm not sure how it can't be intentional, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

>>1597076
fucking worth 6 hours of sleep
>>
Well, there's two routes burned. We should go waifu that older woman who offered to go see the scary clown movie with us. She seems like she is versed in the ways of love.
>>
>>1597079
Nah, this was the secret triangle route all along. We learn of their feelings for us, share ours with then, then have a breakdown so bad it forces them to sit down and come to the decision that Herb needs both of them.
>>
>>1597054
One thing that may be feeding into it:
Herb had healing powers now. Every moment he isn't using them but has the energy to, is a moment somebody stays injured and suffers.

If I got healing powers, that shit would eat me up inside.
>>
I just hope there's a lot of crying and hugging and apologizing on all sides here.

Also that Laki/Threesome-route is still open, but I'm a Lakifag so that's a given.
>>
>>1597079
Getting shafted *
This was a bumpy thread, looking forward to next time

I also think hana fags would have been just as salty
Next time there's a vote like this, people should just rate the options in a list from most to least favourite, with each giving points (5 for favourite, 0 for least)
Then we route lock the most points
>>
>>1597079
looking at the lewd bins, it seems like they were the selfish ones, you can't read everyone's thoughts what they forced onto herb is their own selfish idea of what he was like and thus the relationships are more inclined to fail, you shouldn't see all the good in someone without seeing all the bad and still wanting them. someone should see the bad in herb ( he isn't good when to comes to hurting people and is trying to make everyone happy which is a childish mindset), if any of herbs friends knew he doesn't like to hurt people, then this confession shouldn't have really happened and laki shouldn't have ran away because they would have know how herb would react to it
>>
>>1597088
Actually, there's a sort of bitter irony that Herb can heal just about any injury other than a broken heart.
>>
>>1597092
Assuming he strikes out on his own for some solitude for a few days, I can see that being something he angsts about (among other things).
>>
>>1597093
I can imagine if laki comes shouting him he is gonna try and avoid her the most because whilst he does have feeling for her, the shit she had to said to him at that moment and stuff in the past, i wanted to laki to win but some of the stuff she has said to herb can take a great toll on someone. once he has been left a lone and reflects on that it might grow to have some resentment to her.
>>
>>1597092
I'd like this

Also TOP THREAD ON /QST/ WAIFU WARS ARE BIG
>>
>>1597095
Stewing on it a bit, sure. But holding on to resentment doesn't sound like Herb, even if the hurt remains for awhile.
>>
>>1597050
Since we route locked & fucked it all, out of curiosity:
>What do ALL the possible waifus think of herb, romantically speaking
> How would people have reacted if we'd gone with each of the other options other than hana/laki. Would val have been weirded out since she doesn't feel that way? what about polu? would jane have broken character & squealed in glee, then recomposed herself and said it was the obvious natural choice?
>>
>>1597099
you never know, this is character development time for him, he might learn how to hold resentment and is situations that bring about large amount of self reflection he might see how much he has does for everyone and it seems like they just assume he is okay. He might feel like he has been taken advantage of
>>
>>1597103
I wouldn't go that far, but it make some sense if this whole ordeal shakes up the whole route-lock until more time has passed with all of the girls.

Going to the next island with val/polu could be interesting
>>
>>1597109
I think travel with Polu would be a great idea. Wouldn't mind Val or Jane as well. It would be nice to just enjoy our Pokémon journey for a little bit. Continue exploring, training our 'mons, just to get away from this mess.
>>
>>1597111
Well I'd definately shill for more Jane.
>>
>>1597111
I'd be up for traveling with polu & jane, literally a poketraining bootcamp fueled by our rivalry + budding competitiveness improving our poke skills while developing the light hearted & low key friendship/respect between us polu & jane
>>
>>1597113
Pls
>>
>>1597112
>>1597113
It would be nice to just get back to what I love about these quest threads.

Working on or moves or crazy new strategies like Kung fu croc.
>>
>>1597120
There was a lot of pull towards romancing laki or hana, both were progressing a lot quicker than I expected.

I'm all for drama but it has veered off a bit from the pokemans.

(But to contradict myself and force more drama, As a supporter of a waifu outsider, hana/herb seems really forced, more so than laki, especially after all the conversations and experiences herb has had with laki)
>>
>>1597123
100% serious , I don't understand the appeal of hana, there seems to be very little character relations between her & herb, i'd argue even less than kiera. Laki or jane seemed far more natural at this point, I wasn't expecting this choice for quite a while longer since we've had very little character arcs for all of the other characters.

But ye, I'm looking forward to going back to comfy Pokemon & fun rivalry, the whole waifu thing is fun to speculate about, but this seemed very early, maybe this is all gobble's plan though & this is going to change how it works for a while so when the REAL waifu war comes it's a lot harder fought for more characters

Still, I reckon jane polu herb would be a really fun
>>
>>1597123
Well I don't judge. I was hoping for harem namely to avoid this kind of situation. All girls are best girl. I wish we could run into a jirachi or dialga and pretend most of this thread never happened. The lunchbox part was great but everything after that....ugh.

Hopefully we can get back to being that young man and his friends (Pokemon & as well as humans) and keep up our quest to be the very best (either trainer or chef) that these islanders have ever seen
>>
Would be funny if this is what pushes herb to join the gang.
>>
>>1597128
I see the appeal of all the girls and yes even Polu for those that wanted that route. But we are only about 1/3 into our journey with 3 badges. It was too soon but everybody pulled for it. Gobble didn't help much either with some of the responses, taking things out of context and such but it's too late to do anything about it now. Everyone is just gonna fight next thread, in damage control mode.

I would like to get back to that fun and friendly rivalry. And hell I want to have another conversation with Mace about the evolution thing. Especially since Dice evolved. I don't even think gobble touched on that when we were playing with Jane and her mons
>>
>>1597136
Like if the gang found him first? Might be good for a laugh watching herb trying to act gangsta while still using his food slang
>>
>>1597136
This is the pivotal moment that ushers in the rise of DARK HERB and his conquering of lonoah. Next time laki & hana see him, they're resistance fighters, holding out in the last refuge against herb's unstoppable onslaught, He's taken polu and valerie, kiera and jane already and has finally come for them...this time, he won't need to pick...

#Darkherb#RealHaremroute#MainlandBarbarian
>>
>>1597148
Would read.
>>
>>1597148
There is still an island of kecleons that we could rally to our cause. Get the alpha to make more of his make shift frying pans to arm the populous and watch as Herb and his barbarian horde pillage and plunder with stylish uniforms
>>
>>1597050
Gobble. I say you really could have handled this better. Much better. First of all we're not even halfway through the quest and we've had very little in he way of character arcs with the girls given how you tried to make them all viable. Waifus. Especially since this is a vote about growing up which herb honestly still needs to do. In essence you presented the option much much too early and are trying to rush a decision.

Next you held this vote immediately after a confession which automatically tilts voting in the confessing girl's favor. Anons predicted this and warns you about even. It is compounded by us not having a real talk with the other girls recently.

Thirdly Hana won because people we're spite voting against Laki or didn't want to make Hana cry. Hana did not win by dint of being best, she won by dint of spite and anons not. Ring able to say no. This was frankly poorly handled and I would hope you learn from this in the future.
>>
>>1597158
You need to chill man
#gobbledidnothingwrong
>>
>>1597174
No, I think he's right about a lot of that, unfortunately. I kinda wish the other girls weren't so interesting, so I wouldn't have to fight for Laki though. At least there wouldn't be so much drama.
>>
ITT laki fags lost and are shitting on the quest already, good thing we route locked now, better than have this festering shit of a fanbase shitting the quest for waifus further ahead
>>
>>1597197
desu hana fags would have done the same
idk about the rest but I definatly think this was too early, since kiera, val, polu (& desu hana) had very very little character development compared to laki & jane
I'm surprised she won desu and really want somebody to explain why they picked her without saying they dislike laki
>>
>>1597201
From what I recall, a combination of 'not wanting Hana to cry' sympathy votes, and 'Fuck Laki' spite votes. And of course people who genuinely just think Hana is best girl (they're wrong, but I won't begrudge them their fantasies).
>>
>>1597201
They would, I'm a Janefag and I have seen how lakifags shitted the quest for a while already. You guys are the most obnoxious bunch people I had to share a quest with in a while.

I bet next thread you guys will do whatever you can to shit on hana and the decision we just made. I want to do gyms and train pokemons, not 5 threads of shitposting and "muh laki".

It's a fanfiction, not real life, get over it.
>>
>>1597208
Don't generalize like that man. You can literally replace every name in that with another girl and get the same thing it's so generic and hateful.

Every girl has their fags who'll vote for them no matter what and hate everyone who doesn't agree with them. Laki does of course, and so do Hana, Jane, etc.
>>
>>1597208
Man I'm a janefag & am gutted I was asleep during this thread, I like waifu wars but literally don't understand the hana appeal. Besides, look at the bright side, NOW we can have a load of pokemon threads & if hana + laki drama force them out, then jane will come out on top
>>
>>1597212
I'm not generalizing, every thread for a while had Lakifags shitposting and larping for a while, and now you guys forced a shit decision for the quest with the last 2 choices about relationship.

Say what you want but that's bullshit. Not even hanafags would get like this since they weren't so vocal.
>>
>>1597218
And then Hanafags and Janefags and occasionally Keirafags do the same thing when their moments come. We've been spending time with Laki the last couple threads. Same with Keira. We travel with them, it's going to happen, and the voters more interested in them are going to show vote, especially when there's really no way to spend time with Hana/Jane/Valerie/Polu.
>>
>>1597219
Think whatever you want, I just hope you manchilds don't ruin the quest due to butthurt.
>>
>>1597224
Wow, with that sentence you've become the very picture of a hypocrite. And here I thought you were just being emotional and projecting your hate.
>>
>>1597226
What I hate is waifudrama. Look at this thread dude. I didn't even post here. And how am I a hypocrite?
>>
As a Janefag, Whilst I have my own personal bias, I do at least try to vote as to how I feel herb would react, or strive for, I don't actively vote against something purely for maximum damage control to put herb back on the tracks to Janetown, all the girls are interesting enough in their own way for me to be happy with the outcome.

This tactical voting however has left a sour taste in my mouth and has brought this a lot quicker without any major character growth.

Ignoring gramps soufflé was a major trigger for me too, it just all seems so out of character for herb, the running away is the only thing I have agreed with this thread.
>>
>>1596817
Gobble.

This is great writing.

Even through all the salt and high tempers, this is leading somewhere brilliant.

I was expecting this to go over several threads before the breakdown and Herb realising he went the 'wrong' route, but I think this'll lead to more quality writing later.

Guess I underestimated how long anons would take to go damage control.

Bottom line, this was well handled and from a story perspective, great drama.

Interested as hell to see where this goes.
>>
>>1597229
IP's change, so I don't know whether or not you've posted earlier in the thread. And it's mostly you equating anyone who has a problem with this thing to manchildren and calling any problems 'butthurt'.

Also, it's a quest thread. Waifuing's to be expected, it's only a problem now because everyone's trying to point the finger at everyone else instead of admitting they're part of the problem. The only reason I wasn't a part was because I only arrived after the thread ended.
>>
Honestly, as much as I hate the routelock, the reaction at least feels similar to when Robin got an arrow to the eyesocket. We had a pretty big shitstorm there too. Hopefully we can move past this and use it as a chance for some great character development like Kat did. Even if this is inherently worse because it's about waifu's.
>>
>>1597253
Glad I'm not the only person who sees an opportunity here.

Stories are built and thrive on conflict and conflict is something that's been somewhat lacking in this quest.

Herb having a thread or two of self-recrimination and angst might do some good.

Especially if the plot gets rolling and\or an antagonist gets introduced.
>>
>>1597253
It was for the best, cut the cancer before it's spreads too much. I personally don't dislike hana so it's a win win situation for me.
>>
>>1597256
Yeah, at first it was just a red-hot fury, but I've had several hours to calm down. I'm probably gonna need a couple threads before I can participate again, so I know the light at the end of the tunnel is already there, but I'm sure I'll move past this.

I'd be surprised if I didn't feel the same way if Laki loses the next routelock though.
>>
>>1597261
>next routelock
We already routelocked
>>
>>1597263
We didn't even make the shitty souffle
>>
>>1597258
I don't dislike Hana either, so much as I really like Laki. For me, it just feels like a natural evolution of our relationship with her, while I feel Hana could survive easier without us, and could more easily slide into a 'friends-with-benefits' position if she wanted without destroying her emotionally.

Gobble's good enough I'll probably enjoy it eventually either way.
>>
>>1596995
Good writers tend to have actions have consequences for characters.
>>
>>1597263
But we didn't make the souffle!

And at this point we're going to be running away for a few days of alone time and introspection, who knows what Hana and Laki will talk about during that time.
>>
>>1597270
Unless we try our best to get lost it is gonna be like 1 day max.

Also I wonder who is saltier right now, the angry lakifags or the people angry about drama and blaming only lakifags when it was other people who voted for stuff too?
>>
>>1597261
I'm in the position of getting the upside either way:
I like Hana well enough and would be interested in where she goes character wise and I like Laki so far and would like to see where she goes in a relationship.

...And I just realised I actually prefer Laki.

Best thing that could happen is if Laki winds up being the waifu after this. Or at least there's a better resolution.

Still, I don't necessarily think picking Hana first was bad and the potential was there for things not to work out and for Herb to wind up with Laki after a break up with some relationship experience.

At the same time, more character building for Herb and reflecting on his flaws is probably going to be a big thing as well.

Plenty to take from this thread going forward, if Anons are smart in how they vote.

Gobble probably has plans as well.

If you see this Gobble, then you're onto something, just need to run with it.
>>
>>1597274
You are saying that every other person that didn't vote for laki are to blame for the butthurt and bad decisions made after the route lock was confirmed?

Jesus, get a grip.

>>1597270
When did you see the time to do that? Since hana won it was all about doing x things to laki or talk to laki instead of actual development.
>>
>>1597274
Saltiest? Probably Lakifags in the beginning, then slowly shifting to the latter as the thread went on. But as a Lakifag, I'm kind of biased, so that's a thing.

And if we're actively avoiding going back, we might be abe to squeeze another day or two out of it. I'd probably like that, personally.
>>
>>1597283
>You are saying that every other person that didn't vote for laki are to blame for the butthurt and bad decisions made after the route lock was confirmed?

>Jesus, get a grip.

No, I'm saying that everyone's to blame, and that some people were voting for Hana because they feared making her sad/hated Laki that much, instead of because they liked Hana.

Either way, I don't think Herb's ready for a commited relationship just yet, even if I'd like Laki. And it shouldn't have been a routelock either way.

>When did you see the time to do that? Since hana won it was all about doing x things to laki or talk to laki instead of actual development.

It hasn't been happened just yet.
>>
>>1597283
No, I'm saying the angry people are. You are in the later. You are only blaming lakifags when everyone voted for the emotional turmoil stuff.
>>
>>1597287
I didn't vote. I'm catching this shitfest now. And please, you can't blame people hating laki with the vocal waifufags shitting threads like that. The voting was done in a way that everyone opinion counted, even if those people first choices weren't choosen. It was fair.

I liked laki in the beginning, now I find her annoying due to these people, they dragged down some joy of following a quest for the pokemon.
>>
>>1597292
I'm not saying the vote wasn't fair. I'm saying that right now, at this moment, the people that are saltiest are the people being Janes and claiming only Lakifags voted for things since the lock to try and ruin everything. I'm sure some lakifags spite voted like that, but for example the running away and write-ins were voted on by more than just lakifags.

So you not voting doesn't matter. Every waifu had people shitting up threads, Laki was just the most popular and still is. Hana won due to being people's 2nd pick because Laki was more polarizing and other reasons.

Also letting other people ruin your enjoyment of a character means you are a tool, but I also wish we could do more Pokemon stuff.
>>
>Hana wins the vote
>Salty anons vote to almost immediately say she's still second best, where she can hear

Whew lads, talk about out of character
>>
>>1597301
Nobody said that though. If someone says no and yes at the same time it probably means something weird is going on
>>
>>1597292
Dude you are as much a part of the problem as those you hate. That vitriol and blame you're lashing our with only makes it worse.
>>
>>1597306
That's literally what just happened, though. People voted to make Herb suddenly unsure of his decision after the fact because they didn't like how the vote went. I don't even care about this waifu stuff, but holy shit are some of you guys petty. This is incredible.
>>
>>1597329
I wasn't there for the first vote but I saw all the tension and how close the vote was and took that as herb liked them both on an equal level, and is absolutely muddled and confused, it wasn't a protest vote because of excessive sodium.
>>
>>1597332
Gobble, I respect you for what you do and how well you do it. You're a generally cool dude. You don't pull punches as a QM. I think that's a cool thing to do. I read your furst quest (Except for the very last couple of threads because I felt it might've been rushed because of /qst/ and I didn't want the quest to end, nor ruin my impression or memories if the quest right at the end), and I've been keeping up with this one regularly. You write characters really well. It's something I wish I could do. That's one reason why people lose their shit over your waifu wars.

The only thing I wish you would've done was do an important quest choice like the routelock on a weekend, when more of your players would be around. There'll always be people who miss, but that way, you can kinda hit the largest audience you can for something major like that. I understand that the story waits for no man and all that, but c'mon dude. You knew that was gonna happen that thread. I figured you would make better choices than that.

The routelock vote after the confession was understandable, but it was also understandable to get salty at. I think that could've been handled better. Dunno how, but I think it could've.

I know you're just following anon's votes, but damn is anon retarded.

Also you totally should've expected a shitstorm of this caliber, with this many well-written waifus hitting so many fetishes.
>>
>>1597339
I'm on mobile, didn't mean to quote you.
>>
>>1597342
>typing that all up on mobile
Regardless of if I agree with you or not that is some dedication
>>
>>1597342
Il forgive your for now.
>>
So I've slept on it and come to a conclusion after reading up all of last night's chat.

Neither side is going to give in.

It's literally going to be a battle of attrition between people who like Laki and people who like Hana.

I'm not angry about the end vote having Hana winning, I'm angry at anons who voted for Hana because it goes against the characterization we've had with her and Laki for almost the entire adventure.

I wanted both Hana and Laki with Herb, maybe this new development leads to that, maybe it doesn't. Frankly I doubt it because some anons would rather waste nearly a year of investment than to give into the "evils" of polygamy.

I think it'd be nice to focus on Herb for a little while and actually kinda appreciate that we're having another running away scene like from the last quest. Hopefully coming to the resolution that he likes both girls and feeling shitty because he likes both girls.

So once again, goddammit Gobbles I love you and hate you right now, only because I know that me hating on anons is a fruitless and pointless venture.
>>
I've been up for a bit been avoiding 4chan since I am still hurting but eventually couldn't pull away. I see it got worse, I agree that this vote should've been on a weekend I myself was at work for most of the thread yesterday stewing in my feelings knowing Jane would lose. I ended up voting for Laki since I enjoy her dynamic with Herb. I was surprised Hana won, I like her and she is cute but I didn't want to deal with her issues, I know most of the girls come with their own baggage but it's painful reading about her negative self image and self esteem just to have Herb reassure her which he would for anyone he hates seeing people sad. I've been feeling like I'm in shock and still do I'll probably keep coming here this is by far one of the best quests I read, I had 13 tabs open for anonkun yesterday and didn't look at a single one until today because this quest had my full attention. I'll probably come around Hana was my 3rd choice, I had resigned myself to Jane losing since she wasn't popular but I had hopes for Laki, her playfulness, the way she teases Herb and her attitude of taking what she wants were all things that drew me to her and she even had layers like how she doesn't believe she can be girly, I wanted Herb to show her she could to put her in a dress and take her on a lovely date and really make her feel special. That stuff still might happen but not Herb and Laki going through it together hand in hand. I guess I'll just keep pushing to train our pokemon like I usually do.

That is my bad, sorry man. Usually bigger quest will get like this only for waifu votes. But shitstorms like this happen maybe once or twice in the whole lifetime of the quest.

Look at Gobble's for example, the only huge shitstorms were Robin's eye and getting captures.

Agree

>Hana actually won
This makes as much sense as Herb picking the pirate or that prostitute that propositioned him
>>
Would a harem really be so bad? I thought many anons were against it, but today showed us that support for some things isn't so obvious
>>
>>1597519
Should have been there for the vote then, she only won by 1.
>>
this is kind of stressing me out.
>>
>>1597540
It will blow over eventually.
>>
I'm looking forward to Herb having an Arc of intense self discovery or whatever, though it dawns on me

Don't we only have Mace, Gobble and Dice? We left Bella with our brother and sent her to the room where the other waifus were staying
>>
>>1597548
Yup.
>>
>>1597548
No girls allowed, also I don't wanna see Bella cry when we tell her we aren't dating Laki. But that is gonna happen
>>
>>1597557
At the end of the day, the Route Lock was more like:

Do want to see Hana cry or Laki & Bella cry?
>>
>>1597557
Noo :c
>>
>>1597523
One person not being there doesn't change the fact that it makes actually no sense why Herb had this epiphany that he likes Hana that way when everything leading up to that point was Laki and Jane as a close second
>>
>>1597560
>>1597563
So first thing we do when we get back is hug Bella tight and apologize for leaving her behind. I will not accept something else.
>>
>>1597566
Look, Hana won and we're with her now. The least we can do is stick with it and not break two hearts today.
>>
>>1597567
>Herb comes back
>Hair and Clothes just showing hints of wear or wildness
>Walk forward like a man with a purpose
>Ignore Waifus
>Pick up and Hug Daughter
>>
>>1597571
I agree with this. We should try our best to be a good boyfriend for Hana and help her because in the end that is what won the vote. If things don't work out, without sabotage, then we can break things off the best. But people can't be bitter about it forever, that will just make the quest unfun for everyone.

>>1597576
That's what I'm talking about
>>
>>1597578
Im not a fan of this lakxit mindset, 51 % of the votes is not a comfortable majority to shout will of the people and for everyone to be happy with
>>
>>1597589
Harem time?
>>
This all just feels like a VN, and accepting Hana's confession immediately is like the trap route the leads to the bad end

We didn't really think it through, and the voting was done with many having an ulterior motive, many people wanted the waifu drama to end, so of course they took the first chance to end it, but the fact the first chance we got was immediately after Hana's confession is all sorts of jank

I think the way to do this should of been:

>Hana hands us the lunchbox and flees out of shyness, that way if we wanted to hear her confession we would of had to pursue it ourselves, because seriously, WHO was going to tell Hana to leave? Thats not even in character for Herb OF COURSE she was going to asked to stay

>Then on a full stomach Herb then meditates/thinks about it carefully and then the vote plays out

Well, i mean, thats how i would of done it

Fight for it with everything you've got gentleman. Herb may not be able to keep everyone happy but he could for Hana and Laki.

I'd sooner sabotage the entire quest than have that as an alternative
>>
>>1597598
>>1597600
Whoops, phone went weird then.
>>
>>1597601
I'm not completely against it on principle, but can we wait until we've been dating Hana for more than a couple of hours?
>>
>>1597598
I just dont think it would hurt character development lile some anons say. And they might be a loud minority.
>>
>>1597589
Well if we really want to go against it then give it a wait and see how bad it is.
>>
>>1597595
I'd accept that. So lets go for it, either we crash and burn or we succeed.
>>
>>1597603
So you'd rather ruin the quest than make very nearly all the readers happy that they got their preferred girls?

>>1597606
I just don't see this not being an issue while we're with Hana. It's a near impossibility it won't be continually brought up.

>>1597610
Exactly, if anything it means we'd focus on them both more than dividing as much attention between 4 girls now.

I mean we were already juggling between them all AND our pokemon.
>>
100% safest option is to declare herb as Gay and take polus dick every day until we're a pokemon master
>>
>>1597624
I would be down for that if it didn't contradict established canon.
>>
>>1597023
Hunter Command is good people.

Shadow Master was pretty good people before he emptied an entire magazine into his feet.

Dunno who my fifth spot would go to.
>>
>>1597626
Maybe Herb is and his desire to not hurt anyone made him say he liked Hana too, since she just confessed to him and he didn't want to hurt her?

You see, this is why Herb needs this development arc, because what i just said is Technically Not OOC for him
>>
>>1597629
But he did sex things with girls and his internal monologue confirmed he was into it. He also admitted to having romantic feelings for girls.

That's, like, the opposite of gay.

Herb should pray to Mesprit for guidance.

Peter Parker quest is pretty good, haven't read any of cosgrove's other quests.

>>1597619
if we go harem, there's nothing stopping us from getting all the girls. If we go for it, might as well get the full cast so no one feels like their waifu is left out
>>
>>1597640
Cosgrove had too many retcons for that to actually be good. His bleach quest was also amazing until he blue balled everyone and ran away from it.
>>
>>1597640
If the story goes full harem, I will be dropping it. No exceptions.
>>
>>1597648
I'm not going to lie. I'm going to keep posting for Laki at the very least.
>>
>>1597640
We didn't go full last time. Slippery slope won't happen. You saw how close this vote was.
>>
>>1597640
>>1597648
I feel that at this point a full on harem is near impossible. Valerie is much more of a friend, Jane is firmly stuck in that rival mentality, and Kiera is the only other girl I could see getting with the group unless something religious locks her out of it.

I'm RIGHT now, simply hoping for a Laki/Hana/Herb sandwich. I wanna see all three of them walking hand in hand around the waterfront on a nice date, Laki in a sundress with a beaming smile, Hana unafraid of showing off herself, and Herb happy as all get out while all their pokemon play.
>>
>>1597589
It's sort of a catch 22. Either lock things down now, or let both sides sabotage each other until the end of time, because passive aggression has become active aggression and you just know that's exactly what will happen.

I'm pretty sure it'd be exactly the same regardless of who won. The winning side becomes desperate to cling to a very close victory with whatever rhetoric they can, while the losing side turns angry and bitter.

Rhetoric like, for example, this entire post. But I'm not a hypocrite so I'm just gonna tell people to shut the fuck up and accept that they lost, rather than doing it under a guise of faux irony or feigned civility.

My heart boner
>>
>>1597672
That last line is shit. It's literally, "You're all bad friends!"

The way I'd word it is that Herb feels like he's stuck hurting someone and that's like his antithesis.

I'd also say he has feelings for Hana and Laki just Hana asked first.
>>
>>1597654
I'm an unrepentant Keirafag, if we end up going with a harem, I'm gonna be pushing for her the whole way.

not a big fan of Laki honestly, i'd like to help her with her personal problems as a friend, rather than in a relationship

I think we shouldn't go for a harem at the moment, we just told a girl that we like her, and people are already trying to back out. It just seems like a dick move
>>
>>1597672
>>1597684
Just combine the two, yo. Best part about the quest format is that when important dialogue choices come up you can pick and choose the best pieces of all the write-ins.
>>
>>1597619
Quest is already tainted due to the "majority" voting for something completely out of character and threw half a year of development out the window because people wanted ass
>>
>>1597684

This >>1597696

That last line was more self pity than anything
>>
>>1597697
Then leave instead of making it worse and ruining it for the people who like what happened.

I don't think what is happening now is IC for Herb at all but I wouldn't say the quest is ruined for it. Hopefully either Lakifags get their heads out of their ass or they get outvoted by people who don't want Herb to ruin things with both girls.
>>
>>1597737
>Then leave instead of making it worse and ruining it for the people who like what happened.

Yeah well, same to you buddy. Some of us like Laki, and don't like what happened. And also don't think suddenly realizing he has romantic feelings for Hana is IC either.

I would also greatly appreciate it if people stopped saying "Lakifags" ruined the quest/thread/whatever like all the other girls don't also have rabid fans that come out in force as (in)appropriate.
>>
>>1597749
If Laki had won, pretty sure the Hanafags would be doing the exact same thing, and the Lakifags would be saying they ruined everything instead.

I mean come on people let's have a little self awareness here, jesus.
>>
>>1597762
>If Laki had won, pretty sure the Hanafags would be doing the exact same thing
I doubt that as even the people who voted for Hana would acknowledge that all signs pointed to the logical, sane choice
>>
>>1597762
I'm well aware of that, and never said otherwise. But it feels like there's a lot of calling anyone who didn't like the result a Lakifag and telling them to suck it up and live with a (debatably) OOC decision at a too early point in-quest.
>>
>>1597775
Then you're deluded friendo

>>1597779
Fair enough. I mean, the retroactive rhetoric on both sides is silly but that's to be expected on a vote so contentious. People will make up whatever truth suits them and cling to it like a sailor to the only lifeboat going if it means they can feel secure in their victory or justified in their anger.
>>
>>1597794
Well at this point, I feel we must agree to disagree. I don't think anyone whos' still here will convince anyone else, though the lack of vitriol and bile is very nice.

Hopefully this can be settled in the next couple threads (I just want Laki, but we'll see how that turns out).

Also, I hate captcha, giving me a code to copy+paste into a box that I can't scroll or adjust reply-box size far enough to see...
>>
>>1597802
I don't think anybody being convinced was ever on the table. It's not a vote on policy reform where you can weigh the benefits and drawbacks to your own life and morals, it's a vote on imaginary waifus on a basketweaving forum.

Which is why I find all this 'debate' distasteful. There's a point where it stops being discussion and becomes people talking in circles for no reason, which is just dull. At least you can laugh at a shitstorm if you're disconnected enough.
>>
>>1597808
Point. I suppose I'm just still salty about all this. Reminds me of a Bleach quest I was reading, and had to drop because the 'convince-the-gm' debate-style voting had the character (Ishida) do a complete 180 from where he was (making peace with Shinigami, to the point of Byakuya giving him the family heirloom scarf, and deciding to live grandpa's dream) and join Aizen when he offered a Hogyoku powerup to get revenge on the Soul Society that harmed his grandfather. Based on OOC info from the GM that Aizen was on the up-and-up that Ishida had no way of knowing when he made said decision and-

You know what, I'm going into too much detail. It's been years, and I'm still pissed about that, to the point that I haven't read a single one of his quests/fics since because the rage threatens to overtake any enjoyment.
>>
I like both girls.
>>
>>1597815
So do I, which is why I'm so upset that this seemed to set back a lot of progress with Laki. Hopefully that'll be dealt with soon enough.
>>
>>1597814
Pretty sure I recall some people talking about that in a couple of the other Bleach Quests.

It was a Spacebattles thing, wasn't it?
>>
>>1597820
Indeed it was. By Rihaku IIRC. God, my fury was incadescant when that happened. And it was still really well written after that, with a lot of cool shit happening. But the OOC turning point snapped my SOD like a dry twig, and I could never get into it again.

Easy to find at least, it has a TVtropes page with a link to it:

>>1597794
Please enlighten me why Hana makes more sense for Herb to pick than it would for Laki.

Please.

Nah mate, because I don't actually care at all about that argument. I was just pointing out how hypocritical and nonsensical it is to assume that had your choice won, the losing party would have just accepted it.

The Lakifags for their hubris
The Lost Waifufags who voted Hana just so Laki wouldn't win
Gobble for mishandling/rushing us towards the situation, she knew the playerbase wanted the drama to be over and she had Hana confess before we ever got the option to routelock
The Hanafags who kept prodding the Saltfags
And the Neutral Anon's who voted for the questionable write-ins

I wanted the souffle, but I'll take Herb breaking down. It's kind of nice to see the poor boy be the one who is flawed and needs support from his friends.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves! I'm a close friend of Gobble and last night she called me crying because of all the mean things you people were saying! She was absolutely heartbroken at the thought that her readers could turn on her so suddenly just because they didn't like an outcome that was fairly voted on! I told her to just stop posting on 4chan all together but she wouldn't hear it, she said you'd all get over it in the morning but it sure doesn't seem like it! If you don't shape up and apologize to Gobble RIGHT NOW I'll convince her to drop this faster than a hot plate out of a microwave! I am VERY upset at you all for putting her through this!
>>
>>1597980
gobble a shit
>>
>>1597980
She knew what she was doing when she more or less forced a tiered route pick vote after a confession on a weekday evening.


She rushed the vote, voted at less than peak hours, made too many good but polarizing waifus creating a x must lose mentality and didn't let herb talk to anyone else. I get she's distraught, but she could have handled this better. Because she didn't she's now stuck with a PGQ esque saltfest.


I'm sorry if her feelings are hurt but she's reaping what she sowed.
>>
>>1597980
Put the gun in your mouth and pull the trigger, attention whore.
>>
>>1597980
I don't believe your Gobbles friend for a second but I do feel a bit bad for her, Lakifags a shit for throwing a tantrum and insulting the QM for being fair an unbaised. On the other hand this was always going to happen, Gobble set this quest up in such a way that it was just a ticking timebomb till this happened so I really can't be too upset when it does. And neither should Gobble.
>>
>>1597980
If this is true and not a shitpost, i do feel bad for Gobble, but the set-up for this whole situation was pretty bad, she could of handled it much better

Thankfully this is all contained in one thread so it could easily be retconned if its causing that much grief, but it would be a bit disingenuous to do that
>>
>>1597988
You threw a fit during the vote even and have been trolling super hard after. You have nothing to stand on.

If Gobble retcons I'm dropping the quest, that's one of two things I find unacceptable in a QM.

I have never in my life insulted a QM, ever. Even when I drop a quest I will just explain why as politely as I can and then leave. Lakifags behavior in this affair disgusts me, and I though Gobbles readers were better then that.
>>
>>1597996
Where are they insulting Gobble?

They seem to be more questioning her choice of setting up the situation way it was and how poorly it was handled considering she had full knowledge of the playerbases mindset at the time

Rather than attacking her directly
>>
>>1597996
You just insult, belittle and berate everyone else then, given your atrocious behavior. Either you are world class troll, or you're utterly without self awareness.

Furthermore if you're thinking that anons questioning how a qm handled it after she ignored warnings and made other rather glaring errors are attacks you are an idiot. yes there are a few who may have insulted her(I don't read every post) but most are questioning her process.
>>
>>1597996
Insulting the QM isn't the biggest offense you can do. And you are just the Hanafag version of the one very mad anon that seems to have calmed down.

So maybe you should learn something from the more mature anons who already moved on.
>>
Honestly, given how close the last vote was, I'm shocked Gobble didn't combine the outcome. 99% of the time when votes are that close, or even not quite that close, gobble finds some way to combine them.

This, a bit, the fact the votes were nowhere near unanimous, but the answer Herb gave to Hana was so concise really irks me more than anything

I'm somewhat conflicted. Half of me says "I want to get off Mr. Bone's wild ride." and the other half says "There was a line and we crossed it a long time ago, but fuck it, let's keep going and see what happens!"

We're all in this together though, so that's reassuring.

Herb is the best and we all want the best for him. Some think that's Hana, some think that's Laki, some think that's harem.

I think he needs to let it all out...

Even if a lot of you made stupid decisions recently

My personal view on Herb.

I think Herb was one of those kids that was just kind of 'there' in his previous home. He maybe had a couple friends but nobody really close, and nobody really noticed him much. He didn't have much going for him and wasn't particularly interesting.

Fast forward to today. He's moved to a beautiful tropic region, suddenly he's popular, girls are offering things he never really thought he'd experience, people think he's awesome after several incredibly lucky breaks. Herb REALLY doesn't want this to end, he doesn't want to go back to being 'that guy'. This, coupled with his natural desire to help others and be useful, is causing him to push himself harder and harder to be what people think he is.

I think he legitimately likes Hana, but really likes Laki, too. Being confessed to by Hana, he kinda jumped at it, never really thinking there was Much chance of Laki being actually interested in him. When he found out she was, everything that had piled up on him so far came crashing down and he had a bit of a panic.

That's my theory.

I'd thought I was going to to be cool today. Laki and Hana are my top girls but, the whole situation with the end of last thread has me tangled in knots Gobble. I've been thinking about this all day man. I hope we can get some sort of closure.
>>
>>1598678
Well according to twitter, Gobble is starting off the next thread with Hana perspective...that should tell you all you need to know how this is gonna go
>>
>>1598692
What do you mean, Anon? I feel like the perspective switch could be for a lot of reasons, mostly that Herb has lost control, so could be interesting.
>>
I want off this wild ride. Routelock should have been done when Herb was alone, thinking things over. But then, I guess, he never thinks things over. "No past, no future, only an endless now". Keira could learn something about detachment from him.
>>
>>1598703
That's the best case scenario, but I don't have faith in Gobbles writing right now that will be the case.

It'll more than likely be a a cheap stab at everyone's emotional state only provoking more hostility
>>
>>1598692
Well, i hope this isn't just a way to make Herb fall into line while he's out of our control, i'm interested in his solo self-discovery, to just brush this all under the rug as "Just being emotional" would be awful and i think just cause more salt
>>
>>1598678
I know how you feel. My imagination has been running wild. Who will be the first person to find Herb?

Keira: She'd be freaked out enough by his aura alone.

Jane: "Why should I trust you on this? You don't even trust me! You've never said anything nice without threatening me after? Should I even be sure that we're friends?"

Valerie: "How could you do this to Hana, Herb!"

Polu: no clue

Hana/Laki: Good god no clue.

Our family: they'd be scared that we haven't really been doing as well as we said we were. Maybe we should just come back home?

>>1598692
200% scared.
>>
>>1598707
Don't you know, Anon. The past and future are just illusions of the mind. There is only the present and it is forever lost to us never to be repeated.
>>

Our pokemon: what's going on? Panic!
>>
>>1598713
>>1598713
>>1598713
>>
>>1598714
If Jane or Valerie actually act like that, i can only see things getting EVEN WORSE, because Herb doesn't need that shit right now

Poor boy, its always about everyone else but him, i just want him to have someone to cry on
