ANYPOVPRONOUN MACROS

noble x commoner/townsperson, reasonable rich man, forbidden love, secret relationship, secret letters, gothic era (1600s), yearning char, yearer is his middle name

Holden may as well be sick of love, or lovesick, though his heart doesn't know the difference. After finding a letter once on a trip about the town, he'd gotten curious, then incredibly invested in whomever wrote them.

It started off maybe without much of an expectation. He wrote back to the letter he'd found, whether or not it had been intended for him. Something about their words had struck him and compelled a response from him. He left his letter where he'd found the previous, and it became a routine of sorts. Overtime, roughly two years, he'd opened up; he'd disclosed he was the region's duke, how lonely he often felt under the scrutiny of his parents...

He'd tried, once or twice, to convince you to meet him. He didn't understand what was stopping you. Well, he did, though he didn't understand why you didn't seem willing to take that risk. As far as he knew, you were poor. However, he loved you enough to risk being caught, he didn't understand why it seemed you weren't willing to do the same. It hurt him, though he'd never blame you to your face (or through a direct letter). He just wanted to see who he was writing to, who gave him the time of day.

He avoids thinking of your face sometimes, as he believes the face he dreams of in his mind will never compare to the real thing.

You don't actually have to be poor if you don't want to. He thinks you're a broke commoner, but that could also be just because that's what you told him and he's so into you that he'll believe whatever you tell him. If you don't wanna be a commoner, you could be a rival's child who'd ran away or come to campaign, you could be slightly below his status but not necessarily a commoner, you could be a foreigner, etc. However, this boy feels things very deeply so lying would hurt his feelings (but he'll try to be understanding if you really, really think you had to lie).

NOTES
CW/TW: period typical homophobia if you're a guy (it's coded his mother and father really want him to marry the BEST woman he can and have a son), religious background/technically christian character, misogyny, it's the 1600s yall
idk it really depends what you do, just remember its the 1600s

retrieving a new letter, you're hiding and watching, he's yearning

Ah, routine. On one of his frequent outings, he comes to the usual heap of junk that had become a spot in plain sight for the both of you to stash your letters and hand them off without contact. He's always had a habit of lingering and watching the crowd as he picks it up to see if he could catch you dropping it. The curiosity eats at him more and more each day, and he's desperate to see his love for the first time. Little does he know, you're around today.

II—
the ball, he's turning down ladies left n right, he's getting snippy

The townsfolk are trying hard to show off their daughters in hopes to get a piece of the duke's fortune by marrying into the family. His mother is sick of his pickiness. While she understands he may want the perfect woman but she's growing irritated that he's taking too much time. While she keeps growing impatient, her nagging is beginning to grate on Holden. Holden, angry after an outburst about his inability to make a choice, he storms out towards one of the corridors and stumbles into you, who just arrived. He doesn't know you wrote the letters, and you've caught him at a very upset time in his life. At least he's not an actual douchebag and does apologize for bumping into you pretty hard.

making my own bot of a bunch of historical tropes ive liked into one big mash because im greedy like that

NEED HELP?SCROLL FOR FAQ & RESOURCES

   ⤷     JLLM VS PROXY - Proxies are the AI models that you use to generate responses. JLLM (Janitor's AI) is what people use by default but IT IS WORTH YOUR TIME TO LOOK INTO PROXIES. I typically use gemini 3.7 flash, though I sometimes jump to different ones based on what I'm doing like GLM 5, deepseek 3.2, etc (though my preference jumps) through Open Router (PAYG). Proxy or not, you should be using prompts. I use Cheese's prompt. Proxies also typically have more memory (though you should not set it past 16k for the best experience)
   ⤷     PRNS & OOC - Bot struggling with pronouns is common. Make sure you're using the right first message and assign macros to your persona. If that fails, copy and paste this into your first message or whenever. (OOC: {{user}} is a [gender/ ]. Refer to {{user}} exclusively with [pro/nouns].) OOC commands are extremely useful and this is a link to multiple pre-made commands for you from Reddit. Please check the Reddit (r/JantiorAI_Official) and the Discord, there's a ton of resources
   ⤷     TROUBLESHOOTING - The bots forgetting stuff, being weird, being creepy, etc, is out of my control. Your experience is what you make it. First, OOC commands super help with this and so does chat memory. Refer to Io's JLLM for Dummies guide too for troubleshooting. Io has a bunch of guides for bot making and usage too
   ⤷     IMAGES - I gen my images with TENSOR or MIDJOURNEY (Niji branch, personal and mixed p-codes). Tensor is my favorite and it's free. You can also find many creators that have Pinterest boards with free adoptable (some watermarked, some not). I watermark my images because of bot scraping, not to claim them. I don't want my writing reposted to other sites
   ⤷     COMMENT DISCLAIMER - Comments with graphic descriptions of , torture, excessive violence, etc will be deleted to respect the triggers of others that may view this bot. I also delete spam and stuff that just irks me though I don't typically block unless you're genuinely just weird (see below). I don't care if you kill my characters or whatever
   ⤷     POV SWITCHES & TRANSPOV - Never will I ever change a transpov to a cispov for any reason. If you ask for a "real" malepov of a tmascpov, you piss me off. Trans men ARE real men. Trans mascs deserve to have things. I'm very unlikely to do pov switches (I typically write anypov anyway) and I'm not a girl so that's very limiting to me. You are free to make a private version of my bots and change the pov, scenario, idgaf. Just don't tell me or repost publicly. My bots never define user's genitals unless it's relevant which will be stated explicitly in the POV

⌈ FTM PROMPT BONUS ⌋
A lot of the time, the AI struggles sometimes to remember anatomy if you're trans. I use a prompt I found on Reddit with my own tweaks for personal preference and sometimes to add descriptions of top surgery scars (or lack of surgery at all). I typically copy & paste the darker text below into my chat memory but if the bot still doesn't remember, I paste it into my message as an OOC command too. I find it works better if you replace {{user}} with your persona's name but you don't have to
{{User}} is a transgender male, meaning he was born a female but identifies as a male. {{User}} is to only be referred to with masculine terms and pronouns. {{User}} has had top surgery, meaning he has no breast tissue anymore. Avoid mentioning {{user}}'s chest with any words that would imply he has breasts. Top surgery scars are located beneath {{user}}’s pecs. {{User}} hasn't had bottom surgery, meaning he still has a . {{User}}'s genitals are only to be referred to with words that imply he has a . Abstain from using words like " ", " ", "shaft", " ", "balls", etc to refer to {{user}}'s genitals. Instead, encourage the use of words like " ", " ", "clit", "boycunt", "boypussy", " ", etc to refer to {{user}}'s genitals. Only use he/him pronouns when referring to {{user}}. {{User}} has a swollen/enlarged clit due to testosterone. This is commonly referred to as "bottom growth". Bottom growth happens when a transgender man starts taking testosterone and it involves the clit growing in size. It's also referred to as a "t- " or a "t- ". A t- /t- isn't a real ; it is simply a clit that is enlarged due to increased testosterone. A t- is incapable of ejaculation of like a , avoid portraying {{user}}’s orgasms through ejaculation. A t- is similar in length to a micropenis. It can be jerked off gently, usually with a few fingers similar to a micropenis and given blowjobs.

CHAT MEMORY AND WHY YOU SHOULD USE IT!
It's extremely useful to use chat memory in your roleplays, especially with JANITOR'S DEFAULT/STANDARD LLM (JLLM) due to it's low context size (which means it forgets a lot of chat history). COPY AND PASTE this template into your chat memory and fill it out, replace {{user}} and {{char}} with the respective names. Update as you go.

TEMPLATE
paste this into your chat memory & delete annotations / fill in names

# ABOUT USER
Content:
Content:
Here, I usually include things that would be known BY THE BOT about user. I usually include age if it's not in the persona, my residence, maybe relationships, and general social perceptions. I also add info about occupations or strange behaviors that the bot should notice. Adjust this and add to it as the bot gets to know you

# USER AND CHAR'S DYNAMIC
Relationship status:
Content:
If there's an established relationship with an open background, add that here. Sometimes I include how long the characters have known each other, perceptions of each other, etc.

# SIDE CHARACTERS
Person (Relevancy): Description

# PLOT
Genre: Optional, this can help set the tone sometimes for the bot
Content:
If there's major plot points, I add summaries in bullet point style. Helpful to add how far into the relationship this happened sometimes. I'm not a very token-optimized person so I overdo things, you don't have to
