To address the embarrassing part first, I'm... Adventurous in the bedroom. That's what I meant when I said I don't say 'no'.
I'm flattered you think I'm talented, thank you!
I hate sad endings, so even if there's some angst, I always make sure there's a happy ending, even if it's like the end of The Notebook and the couple dies together on their deathbed. So you'll never find an Echo-like story by me.
Also, I'm not an emotional person. As a result, I think that's why I write stories that are emotional in a non-emotional way lol.
Darius explains why he doesn't have a mane later on, but you can convince him to keep it. He looks so good with a mane I've never played through and told him to lose it.
Lions don't have manes their entire lives anyway, and females don't get them at all. You could kinda think of him as a lioness at first, that lacks boobs and has a dick haha.
And yeah, I'll pay for a month and immediately cancel the subscription, so I have one paid month and get two updates for $3, then it doesn't charge me for the following month.
Hell, even in the original Naruto, he and Sasuke wound up sharing a kiss. Even though it was accidental, it happened.
I didn't watch enough of Shippuden to see how their relationship goes there, but I definitely saw a Rin/Haru type of relationship in Naruto, except that I feel like Haru shows he cares more than Sasuke does.
I'm not really sure what the temperature is right now, but you're probably right that it's still hotter here lol.
