I vote pull. I can't tell what the ASCII art is supposed to be without an explanation.

Maybe a flowchart-style image would work? Like, "bang this character y/n" and then split between "advance to next conversation step" or "bang and then advance to next conversation step".

Maybe something like this flowchart (if we go that angle) ~@StarSword? Could crop off the top if need be.

ETA: btw I vote pull regardless because the current image is too difficult to understand.

I'm fine with keep. The above chart could probably be simplified or condensed to those last 3 steps of yes/no.

30.1 I found this one from Hades. It's a little ambiguous just using the verb "be" but it shows the choice half of the trope.

30.2 With tighter cropping.

30.3 With a different background and from later in that scene to center the sprites of the three characters and the bed, and tighter cropping to help the text be readable

I am a Hades fan so I actually thought about it, but I am not really sure that it shows the "it doesn't matter if you boink or not". 30.3 is the best of those compositionally though.

[up][up]Hmm. Well, the counterpoint is it's not shown to be necessary for plot progression, but I see what you mean. The same scene (here it is in case anyone wants to try their hand) has a banner up top in the fade to black, so I did some Stygian Witchcraft(tm) and added it with the word "Optional", and re-centered the background an extra bit to show more of the bed.

Crowner's hooked. I only added 30.3 of the ones in 30 because of readability issues.

Votes bump, two in the green and one in consensus range.

Calling for 30.3. It's in and tagged, caption?

[up][up]Huh, I hadn't considered they could be taken together. I just looked at it in preview form and it's only 2 lines, so it's not overlong. I'll edit my post above with the post # and decimal to add clarity. But if you want to vote for them combined you can suggest it as such. [tup]
