Wild, right? NW actually hits me harder energetically than WB does.
But after going back and forth between the two, WB is clearly my core — and I’m finally ready to pull the trigger on a custom name embed with the Rembrandt module.
Lesson learned: know your Wanted Core before you start building customs. It changes everything 
Appreciate your feedback. My experiences with King’s Radiance are quite different though. I have it in a WB/Summertime custom i am using and my partners started " missing " me far more often and became very vocal about it. With WB, though, the aura is advanced and very intense, but it’s more straightforward compared to New Wanted’s aura. For me King’s Radiance isn’t attraction aura but it adds more impact that is felt long after
Not pushing for the sub to work seems to be the key. Not expecting something to happen, being in my own bubble and letting it run in the background. Even when I start doubting (recon) the idea is to trust and work with the sub and the archetype…
Faaaaaaaaa lol
I keep wondering how long to play with wdb before I know for sure I should be on wanted or wb
Then don’t play dream boy. Just work on one of the other subs
I’ve used it since last year lol
LOL … I kept WDB in my stacks for 5 and a half months (since launch), then returned to my alltimefav WB/IC, now I enjoy it more than last year, doing up to 30s microloops. Seriously thinking about making focused custom with some energy support modules for next cycle.
That’s what I did for WDB: Auric focused with New Aura Experience. Cart wait to see it.
Even Invictus wants to go back
And he’s the one who motivated me
Obviously for some it’s a good fit
and I thought I’d be one
Plus it’s lighter so that sounded good
I tried with Khan and with Emperor Daddy
Funny how we all end up wanting to go back to WB.
Makes sense, WB stands for ’welcome back’ after all.
Makes sense to me, sounds like new wanted had a spotty reception all things considered and people finally understand that WDB isnt for everyone.
Is Main Character Energy or its equivalent of that module already scripted into this title?
Nope. It came out around the same time as summertime. Primal is probably the closet major title to really capture that raw main charafter energy.
Come to think of it, of all the subs I’ve run, yeah 
I think the feeling of lacking “main character energy” and the desire for it is a result of two things: everyone focused too much on themselves and people not connecting as deeply when out in public/out in the world. It’s probably more of a thing in western countries than others. Think about it: it’s a combo of focusing too much on self + not connecting as much with others (more competition and vanity that results from the first). It’s like you’re no longer “keeping up with the Jones’s”, now it’s like EVERYONE is the Jones’s.
Also I think people who are giving off main character energy (but does anyone really? like in your day to day life, who does that? younger people?) it’s because they have things on their mind that are more important than whatever is happening in front of them. OR it’s that they’re more present and in the moment than most people around them and accepting everything that’s happening.
Anyway, just some thoughts, just trying to figure out what exactly “main character energy” is and why we feel it’s lacking (when 10+ years ago we didn’t, not me at least), and what is causing it now.
Wanted is coquettish it doesn’t need a main character energy.
The whole point is to be mystery and to make people feel intrigued and chase you.
I think people wanting “main character energy” and trying to attain it is sad, like it’s just people feeling lonely, insecure, and less important than those around them, and that’s sad. And I think it goes back to what I said: too much focus on ourselves and not enough focus/connecting with people outside ourselves.
Also I agree @Benny, Wanted doesn’t need main character energy. He’s nonchalant and aloof, he doesn’t care whether people chase him or not, or see him as a “main character” or not.
It’s not sad, it’s cool and it gives me Emperor, Khan and Primal vibes.
Yep
I’m currently Stark + Wanted
I’m feeling more mysterious and nonchalant already.
I mean the whole thing going on is sad, looksmaxxing, people feeling insecure/wanting to feel like the “main character”, etc. It’s sad. I just went looked up “main character energy” on tiktok and yeah, I think it’s sad. I don’t have tiktok btw (or an Instagram really).
True, Emperor, Khan, and Primal would definitely help with that. Probably GLM too.
Amazingly I’ve never run Stark, always was curious about it though.
