i wanted to reread hamefura since u mentioned it and was struck with the agony. keith is almost singlehandedly responsible for me making a "would be my favourite if he wasn't the heroine's brother" list and his existence brings me both pain and suffering
yEAH this exactly omg.
I haven't personally read the novels or the manga yet, so I'm anime-only for right now and idk if anything is different when reading it, but I totally loved Keith at first! I still kinda do tbh?
He was so adorable in the flashback episodes, like it makes you just want to hug the little guy lol. And then in general he's got both a personality and a design that I love!! And the difference between him and his og Fortune Lover counterpart is so fun to think about?? Unfortunately, he is Not an eligible LI in my eyes. The pain and suffering is real lol, he could be so great if he got over that sister complex 💔
also this might be a little late but i read your thing on being an aromatic playing dating sims and ended up nodding and going "so true" the entire time. like yeah holy shit that's EXACTLY how i feel! my favourite otome games are those with a protag with her own personality, because the appeal is watching over the couple from a third party perspective, not trying to be the protag.
(this is how they ended up with like 30 ocs for the tokimeki memorial girls side series)
omg yeah! I'm glad to hear you can relate lol. I love love love a protag with a well-established personality <3 -- My personal top picks have got to be Katarina Hamefura & Teuta Bustafellows. It's fun to see how the mc's personality meshes with the different LI, and I like picking out a "best match" of each game based on chemistry with the heroine. :)
I think that's why I tend to struggle to get into some of the indie titles that have completely customizable mcs lol. It's a different style to get used to.
Though!! I did play a route of Killer Chat after you mentioned it yesterday! (Ronin's route - it felt like a natural 1st pick story-wise lol) And I really appreciate that the game has a default name because that's always my biggest struggle when making up an oc protag lol. I liked customizing Maya's sprite and playing as them because I do feel like their dedication to their writing and enthusiasm for lying about being a serial killer are pretty good defining character traits. I'll probably change her a little bit with each route I play lol. It's a great game, thanks for reminding me about it!!
BTW when you encounter a character and think "What's this guy's fucking problem?" that's your body trying to give you an out before you fall into obsession.
Guys look at her 🥰
Elise… I would also go on this journey to end up with Freya or Leb 🍇🌼🌾🥨✨
finished my first major endings of little goody two shoes and and
when the wwhen the girls and they in lomve and the bad ending then thebgood ending and then and thenhow
Figured maybe I should share this on tumblr
i swear i keep meaning to finish Hamefura pirates, but honestly i may end up having to skip Keith's route and move on to the others. I'm just kinda stuck with it. It's a nice story, and I do like Keith as a character, but as much as I want to play all the routes and give them each a fair shot, I just don't really want to see Keith & Katarina's relationship progress romantically. The siscon thing just isn't my vibe, and I just haven't felt like playing the game any further for his route. My completionist brain is very upset about this, so I may end up playing it eventually, just so I can have complete thoughts about the game...
i am so immediately head over heels for killer chat who does not love love interests who can and will kill you. god
I've played a little bit of that one!! It's been a while, and I don't think I ever finished a route because life got super busy around the time I started playing it, but I really like the characters and the concept!! i think the whole design of the game is so cool
Fr the murderous love interests are great lol - I think I was halfway through Angel's route?? I'll have to start over when I pick it up again, my memory is so bad 😭
explaining executive dysfunction to people is so embarrassing yeah I have the be useless for days at a time disease
in order to reach the pearly gates of heaven, you need to read more yuri

Hamlet. Hamlet, listen to me. Hamlet you gotta kill your uncle (message your friends). Killing your uncle (reaching out to your friends) is extremely vital to achieving your goals. You want to get revenge for your father (maintain your friendships). You want to kill your uncle (talk to your friends). You have the perfect opportunity right now because Claudius is defenseless (discord says your friends are online) so just kill the king (message them!!!!). Hamlet you're making excuses again. Hamlet if you wait too long this is going to end poorly. Hamlet-
uh oh Hamlet moment (driven insane by my own inaction despite the fact that i both need and genuinely want to do the things i am not doing)

I forgot to upload it here, for all my Tumblr followers
not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping
aromanticism. you agree. reblog
hi have u played the transmasc reunion otome. do you want to.

happy lesbian day to the most romantic line of dialogue ever written
dont be embarrassed about something u enjoy ok
I think people on here operate on a very weird definition of "conventionally attractive" where anything humanoid is already too normal for them. When society at large is like "if you're not skinny and white and able bodied and cisgender you're basically unfuckable"
there is a Email standing between me and my belvoed girlfriend VideoGame... :(
