I'm getting the error
File "game/script.rpy", line 77: ATL statement contains two expressions in a row; is one of them misspelled property? If not, separate them with pass.

add "character" →align (0.5, 0.0)

Does anyone know how to fix it? I am not really a programmer and was following a tutorial. The error refers to the first line in "scene character_customization:" but it might be elsewhere as it usually is...

I am non-binary, asexual and feel romantic attraction towards masculine-presenting people (achillean). I don't think I'm wrong to assume some people might have liked me throughout my 21 years due to some hints I've picked up, even after I begun presenting androgenously (I know people who don't know me can't judge my agab easily since I've been called both he and she), but I still have no dating experience and no one has ever confessed they liked me (romantically).

I don't know if it's because I'm open about my asexuality and that means that even if they do like me, they refrain from telling me, because they know it won't work in the long run. (Or they assume I'm aromantic too that could also be the case). Or if it's because of the social repricussions of being assumed they are gay/bi when people might interpret me as a guy while I'm being with them. 😞

Edit: this is a RANT btw, I’m not looking for advice on how to improve my lovelife. I already know what’s wrong with me 🙏
