(covered In Blood) I Finished My First Virche Route

okay. which of you motherfuckers taught my vile little homunculus how to put on eyeliner

I can't remember if I've posted this but it's been weighing on my mind for the past few years

Top tier fail girl extremely relatable my favorite idiot sandwich with a maximum of 5 brain cells at any one moment the one the only Katarina Claes

Ladies and gentlemen...

She.

I forget that most people ship things because they want characters to be in a happy relationship and not because they want them to have weird sex things with atrocious psychological consequences

i love characters who do the “i worship the myth i make of you” and in turn dehumanize and get wrong the object of their devotion and love. yes project a thing that does not exist onto a pedestal and kneel at it like it is your altar. this will surely not blow up in both of your faces eventually. the higher you place them the greater the fall

oooh hm~

This. probably isn't the vibe you're going for, but this kinda reminded me of Twelfth Night? Where Viola & her twin brother Sebastian both survive a shipwreck, but neither knows the other is alive. And because Viola is disguised as a man, everyone on the island where they end up keeps mistaking them for each other in various comedic situations. Not to bring up Shakespeare randomly lol...

Not saying that's what you should go for unless you like the idea, but there could be like, a hidden in plain sight element maybe? Like maybe he escaped and is still investigating and he and Rosie keep just barely missing each other or something? And depending on how/if you want to involve Silva, he could be helping the brother?

OR the finding him imprisoned somewhere and trying to get him out would work too I think. That feels very Hamefura. I can easily picture a cute post-rescue scene where he notices Katarina & Rosie's relationship and teases his sister about it.

If you wanted to leave it more open-ended, it could be a "he escaped, but we still couldn't find him" ending where she still has to go looking for him, but now she has a girlfriend with her. A sort-of "adventure ending" or something.

I'm sure whatever you pick will be great! (I 100% sympathize on the actually having to write it aspect though 😭😭😭)

Am I the only one who thought Rozy was a girl based on the trailer? People were like "oh Rozy has a secret identity" and I was like yeah I bet he's secretly a girl called Rosie and is pretending to be a boy because sexism. Then I find out that no, Rozy is not a girl, and not only that but there are no Yuri routes at all.

one of the funniest things about game 1 is that it's ridiculously easy to accidentally get into a love triangle over a guy who isn't the one you're pursuing so you're just like. okay, whatever, and then in year three the girl will be like "i've won, i've started dating him" but you just go I DIDNT WANT HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE

lmaooooo these girls are fighting battles that don't exist 😭

it would be cool if there was like a matchmaking/ally/wingman option or something where you could let her know you're not into him and kinda help her out or something instead of automatically competing by default lol.

the author's barely disguised hobbies and interests

the secret to life is always having something to look forward to

tmgs is so fun like you can have COMPLETELY different experiences across playthroughs based on who you did and didn't meet. you can be bffs with sudo run 1 and just NEVER MEET HER run 2. you can get into a love triangle one run or just completely avoid it by not meeting anyone next time. one guy can be the bane of your existence one run but you can hide from him the next time

also like!!! the cool thing is that there are conversations between characters you know or times when characters will comment on what job and/or club you're in or how you do at them. it's soooo cool

yeah it seems really cool with all the random events!

I'm kinda hoping to avoid the love triangle thing in my first run, but I did run into an event with Kijyou and Fuji together at the mall so that may lead to something later... As of right now he's the only guy I've put any time into, but if that fails I honestly won't be disappointed to just go all in on the tennis club and hanging out with Sudo instead lol~

It's really neat how much there is to explore! I kinda love having so many options and needing to strategize to succeed rather than just picking dialogue options (like, I love the VN format too of course, but this is super cool, and feels more gameplay-oriented lol)

what do you mean i have to go to work today. when i just did it yesterday???
