'Ashley does have her fans, but when I did a popularity poll on my patreon she came last out of the main characters 😓' <-- I'm actually shocked - Well. lol I'm not, given Ashley's only main you can't 'add to harem'. People want 'love/neat' ending. When things are more open-ended or complex, it tends to be less popular; but - that's *My* sweet spot~ (Love wife lore, btw - that's so awesome!! Ashley's in my top 3 -- with Scarlett and Hannah -- so she should be Proud!!)

It's funny (but also fitting - since Ash isn't about labels(SAME.)): if you showed Ashley and MC with zero context, I'm sure most would assume they're in a relationship/in love. So - what defines a 'relationship' beyond perception -- either by the people in it or the ones observing it? Not to get too philosophize 😝 But that's what makes me like Ashley's route so much -- beyond, what I previously mentioned. The idea of just - being in something that doesn't need to be a - 'thing'. There's no need to point at it and say: 'This is Mine.' It is; without societal performance.

'I figured most people would go for the threesome' <-- fair lol But I will say, the reason I did it is b/c I felt genuine chemistry between all three (1) and it felt like a beautiful example of non-monogamy, beyond just lust. Not just b/c it was hot. I genuinely liked 1-on-1 with MC/Ash; if there was no threesome, it would have been just as good.

Can I ask one more (slightly obsessed) question? Why was it Ashley preferred being called that instead of 'Ash' by MC? That felt - significant. When very close friend calls her 'Ash'. But I didn't want to put more there than what it was (I JUS WANNA BE - SPECIAAAAL XD)
