So sick of dog motif what about cat motif.
I love you but we don't love the same. I can't be near you when you want me to be. Your love is smothering and your need to keep me safe is trapping me. I'm my own person but I don't know how to show you that. I lash out and hurt you even though I don't mean to. I need you to move slowly around me or I'll bolt. I love you, even though I don't say it. If you stay still I'll sit next to you, and even though we don't understand each other we can be together like that.

OKAY SO I'M TRYING TO DO SOMETHING I NEED SOME HELP- So I was talking with a friend and the subject fell back on the lack of poc focused characters in visual novels ( in the case o this topic dark skinned black romanceable characters since romance is one of the most popular genre)
So I wanted to try making a list of games that answer some criteria and I would really appreciate if people rebloged with more recommendation because it saddens me that the list is so short.
excluding error 143 ( for reason that I could elaborate if asked but aren't the focus of this post ) please reblog with games that answer this conditions : -The game must have one or more black character who's routes are given the same focus non black routes have.
-The characters aren't ambiguous to appeal for white passing beauty standard ( ex having straight hair with blue eyes, grey or very light skin, or a standard anime style face )
-They aren't covered in scars, treated as "exotique" or being sexualized for their ethnicity. (They aren't stereotypes)
additional but not obligatory : -The game is free / have a free demo -The game is not pegi 18 -It's not an abandoned game ( might be in development ) Here is my current list :

Incidentally the involuntary servitude thing is actually on the ballot, and there’s zero organized opposition—no ads, no misinformation, nothing—and it’s almost definitely gonna lose, i.e., that clause is gonna stay in the state constitution
#one genuinely funny thing tho was that I read the official state financial assessment#and it said ‘if this passes it could increase costs for the state bc prison labor might have to be paid more’#’or prisons could incentivize work by offering time served as compensation which would decrease workers’ sentences and end up#’costing the state much less’#which… Yeah.

teaching yourself how to deal with mildly annoying inconveniences is imo an essential part of treating the disabled people around you with compassion and no i'm not kidding

Rent control is on the ballot for California voters this November.
I uh, get that tumblr isn't exactly sorted by geography, but this is a huge deal.
It's a huge deal even for people who don't expect to be personally affected by it -- rent control is a protection against the poorest people living in a city being forced out, and that's just bad for everyone. When you have a city where only medium well off to rich people live, you get their service employees coming in from a suburb an hour and a half away (blech) or else you get people stacked three to a room. Or people holding down a job or three while trying to earn enough to get off the street or, well, out of their parents' place or away from the abusive partner they can't afford to break up with. Point is, a lack of housing that people can just keep living in at the same price, means a lot of bad things for society, and we probably aren't going to socialize housing within the next ten years but maybe we can get rent control back.
#ok ‘rent control is on the ballot’ is a little bit of an oversimplification#this prop wouldn’t create rent control#statewide; it would eliminate restrictions on the types of rent control that local governments can pass#And maybe also restrictions on what the state could pass as statewide controls in the future I’m less clear on that#But!!! it would be a huge deal!!! we need those restrictions eliminated!!!#if for some weird reason you follow me and live in CA pls vote for this thx#just yr friendly neighborhood tenants rights lawyer :)
