I Wish I Had Unlimited Time Ever. Wanna Play Vidyo Games. Have School And Work 😭

This might be an unpopular option but even as an aroace I love valentine's day.

I love flowers and seeing them everywhere brings me joy, all the nice pink and red decorations are cute, and who doesn't like chocolate?

Sure, the hyper consumer capitalistic side of it sucks. But if couples are happy, good for them.

Also, is a nice time to remind myself that as an aro person I love myself and I'm not less for not needing / wanting a romantic relationship

And this might be a bit harsh but being bitter about being single or about other people being happy in a relationship while you are not seems kinda immature.

I get it if it comes from other aros since society tells us repeatedly that romantic love is the most important thing there is and we are kinda tired of that lie but when the allos complain about valentine's just because they are single makes me more mad than what I would like to admit

it’s so funny when people online act like women reading trashy romance novels is like. a new phenomenon and a sign of the downfall of society bc this has never been a thing before. this has been an extremely popular genre of book for ages. the only difference now is that they’re written by women who wanted to fuck kylo ren. which i guess is annoying. out of every man in star wars like be so serious. they had harrison ford in those movies

thank you for reminding me to actually join the otome jam on itch lmao

no problem lol! i reblogged the post so i'd remember to go play some of the entries once they're posted, so i'm excited to see what everyone makes. :) it's super cool that you're joining!!

genuinely "the best starter VN is the one you're the most interested in" is the best advice there is on the topic. like i even recommend checking out indie OELVNs on itchio and stuff to look for specific niches of subject matter you're into if you just want to see how you vibe with the medium, you don't have to start with the classics if they don't appeal to you and if you DO want to get into the ones that are big in western otakudom it's still a good idea to start with one that's in step with your existing fiction interests

genuinely the only things i'd actively advise against for starter VNs if you're actually interested in getting into the medium for real are "parodies"/"subversions" made out of contempt for "dating sims", if nothing else please start with something earnest and true

these are my 16 kids, pawn, pawn, pawn, pawn, pawn, pawn, pawn, pawn, rook, knight, bishop, queen, king, bishop, knight, and rook

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.

at least there's always the Character

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 😭

the desire to play unlocalized games vs the fact that i'm absolute dogshit at learning languages
