Poor Jackie is losing on both fronts :(

Little fun fact. In the original draft of this story Maboroshi_Wink (the archer) and BedsideManor (the knight) were guys that Walter intentionally cat fished because they were...well, not very nice. However, I felt it made the whole sequence kinda mean spirited and a little cliche. So I asked my husband what I could change and how to re-write things to make the story more light hearted and original. His solution: Turn the archer and the knight into girls.

And believe it or not but it actually solved the problem perfectly! For once Walter comes off far less as a douche since he didn't intentionally cat fished these two but instead befriended them and never fessed up to his true identity. And on the other hand Bedside and Maboroshi's dislike for Jack feels more rooted in bad experience with other male co-players in the past (which is another reason Walter not blowing his cover) rather than them being just mean/jealous their 'queen' is having a guy friend. To be fair, it doesn't justify their bad behavior in any way. (I mean, what did poor Jack do!? ;A; ) But...in comparison to how these characters were handled in the original draft it's a huge upgrade, imo.

On top of that I think y'all appreciate two cute cat girl designs over two male designs. I'm not putting myself down here. But I do read the room ;P (Don't worry, I have a few handsome guys planned as well. But they'll get their time to shine later :P)

Only thing that could make this mini series better is getting to see these two irl players at some point

Seriously? What's with the attitude toward Jackie? He a cinnamon roll, you ladies better treat him nice

Poor Jackie...and his adventurer avatar is so cute. Talk about "mean girls".

What a lucky mistake on Walter's part. Also poor poor Jackie.

Ew? EWWW?! excuse me ladies, he is fucking adorable and deserves to be treated as such!

Oh Walter. Having no voice because he has no brain. And Jack...maybe they don't like your sense of style? (I read the description. But still going with what I thought of saying).

I can understand their initial worries/assumptions considering how much women get harrassed in online games. Idk the frequency, but I have heard stories, learning why some don't use a mic due to keeping people from finding out they're a girl. But I hope Jackie can eventually make friends with them during a dungeon crawl <3

Yeah, when I played a female character in the onlines, there were some really creepy guys which I found myself completely disliking. So a new guy showing up in an all girl's team? I can see the 'ew' quite easily. To be fair there was one very annoying woman I ran into as well. She ended up getting banned on the server after about a year and a half so you know she was a 'winner'.
