#—📢 sora screams!

A3! Rant bellow! I know most of my followers now follow me because of Haikyuu or other fandoms but originally this was a A3!-centric blog, which is why due to the news of the Eng server being shut down I felt the need to just… say something.

To sum things up: I’ll continue writing for A3!, I’ll still be up to date with the events on JP and reading translations of the game, so don’t worry (^_^) I’m way too invested in the game to leave it just yet. If anything, it’s inspiring me to keep studying japanese even harder;; kkkk

TW// Su*cide, S/H, and me being mentally unwell on main :’)

Now, onto the longer side of things… to say this is depressing is an understatement. I’ve been playing and following the game since it came out in english and, as unhealthy as it sounds, was such an important part of my recovery process. 2018-2019 were such hard years for me, and it culminated in October of 19’ where everything really felt like it was ending. I’d had a couple of attempts at the time, but that October had been especially hard — it was around that time I had discovered the game and god, the amount of joy it brought me back then… whenever I felt down or overwhelmed I’d always go back to it, the characters and the stories became such a comfort that I struggle to imagine what I’d have done if it weren’t for the game. Whenever I felt down or like I was about to hurt myself, I’d always try and turn to the game — and while it didn’t always work it made me feel safe. When I ultimately recovered from my final attempt, A3! was one of the few things that kept being a constant to me; like it didn’t matter how much I struggled and felt like things were stagnant, it was always just there.

Nowadays, it still serves as a comfort, I’m healing and don’t have that much of an unhealthy relationships with it that I see it as the sole reason I’ve kept going. I’m getting better, albeit slowly, but I still find myself running back to when things get too much. Which is why, I guess, the news have hit me so hard. I’ve been basically bawling my eyes out for the last 40 minutes since I heard the news. It’s not the first time a game I’ve been a fan of has shut down (afterl!fe comes to mind), but this is the one where I guess it hurts the most. I’ll still hope, albeit childishly, that maybe someday we’ll get new events in the Eng servers, because god knows how much this stupid, definitely broken gacha game about a silly little found family means to me. God, just writing this makes me feel like crying… I’m so, pissed? At the way Cybrid has handled the game, because it has absolutely everything to be successful, but the marketing was so, so bad. I can’t help but wish another company had taken the localization and distribution, because A3! already had the Japanese market and backing to prove it could be successful… I hope Liber is able to revive the server with better marketing someday, maybe they’ll realize the opportunity a game like A3! brought. They know how to release and market games, the Ikemen series is a clear example, so I can’t help but wonder why the hell A3! was such a failure… maybe they’re just used the romance games. As for now, I’m just glad they won’t delete the game and still allow us to revisit the stories and cards, I still have a bunch of unread events and card stories and I don’t think I’m quite ready to completely leave the game.

I don’t think, as long as this blog keeps running, that I’ll ever stop writing for A3!. The current event will still be going and I’ll continue working on requests on the meantime. If for some reason you read this far, thank you for listening to me ramble/cry about a game getting shut down.

Take my favorite CG’s as gifts!

expanding on this; he likes getting matching bracelets and gifting you charms so you can match. whenever anyone mentions it he gets annoyed, and if he’s in a particularly bad mood he will use his baton <3

he also enjoys it when you wear his clothes, it makes him so happy because they’re obviously his and it’s like he’s there with you all the time </3 he begins to purposefully leave stuff he wants to see you wear over at your place (he’s not sneaky).

insists on doing the whole Aa[Name] thing so you can be his first contact alongside rindou’s. talking about phones, he also has you as his wallpaper all the time and got so happy when he saw you have him as yours… rindou is sick of you two </3

good 2 see me whipped boyfie ran agenda is spreading well ❕ because that man would never cheat !! once he falls in love he’s a goner, like the first time you two kiss he’s making rindou prepare a best man speech :’)
