Common Scenes in Episode Stories

A lot of people seem to like the pairing of a very short woman with a very tall guy. The problem is that child characters on Episode are conveyed by shrinking down adult avatars, so whenever I see a short girl and tall guy making out or something, it looks REALLY creepy to me.

They literally make the woman eye level with the dude’s waist. As if that shit don’t look weird.

That happens?

[XxAlphaBetaxX]

Yes, granted I’m bias against the whole tall man short woman pairing overall, but some people pronounce it so much when they really don’t need to. We get it. He’s tall. She’s short. She ain’t gotta be that small though, especially when the only way to depict children is to make them that size.

That’s true. I’ve met a woman with 1.55m and she reaches her bf chest so for me displaying small women like that confuses me.

It’s mainly a scaling issue when they can just decrease the y axis number without decreasing her overall scale size too much. Just gotta put in some camera trick work so it doesn’t show the feet.

But even then it’ll most likely still look weird lol.

When the MC is eating and gets food on her face, and the LI acts like it’s adorable, sometimes wipes it off or even kisses it off…

I’m personally very squeamish around people eating, so this is one of the most repulsive things to me. Even when someone I care about has food on their face, I actually can’t look at them without gagging, so I’m always like “WTF?” when this happens in stories.

WHYYYYYYYYY?! I’m gonna be ill.

Oof, this was unfortunate

[talesbyrose]

Ew-

[talesbyrose]

When the author asks you to put in a nickname for the LI. Like, “What should MC call the LI?”
I always have no idea what to put, so when I got that question today, I put “Bruh”

[Writer_Wiles]

I’m stealing this btw

[ParkLow_G]

Ooh, what about those scenes when the MC’s dad and the LI have this basic, vague talk about sports? Imagine: almost all of the plot revolves around the LI not being right to MC’s parents’ standards and all it takes for them to bond in the end is to talk about sports, or anything stereotypically masculine or something about MC.

Call it dramatic irony, or overall irony, but it is usually underwhelming as a resolution.
Bonus points if the conversation doesn’t mention even a specific sport (it is only known as The Game)

[Nessya]

The only time I remember this didn’t happen was on River’s Damn, like Aviona’s dad starts liking her bf because of the university he’s going to study and not some sport nor being fan of some sport team

[ParkLow_G]

Wow, though

[shaharPie]

Omg yes I really hate this

[talesbyrose]

Not this again!

[talesbyrose]

[Nessya]

I thought you would say Bruhhh

[Charming]

Axel’s nickname for me? Obviously Bump!

[talesbyrose]

That one scene where the best friend wakes the MC up and is like, "WE’RE GOING SHOPPING!!!"
