Just out of curiosity, I'm a new comer and saw your "about the blog" post and it said you don't write for males, but I came from your Himeko x amab post. Was that just the occasional one off or has your rules changed? I'm asking as I don't want to do anything that makes you uncomfortable if I decide to request stuff in the future. Also apologize if this was too formal and wordy, I actually never used tumblr until recently so I'm still confused on many things such as etiquette. Also I hope your therapist situations go well and more so will your gacha pulls be blessed.

FIRST OF ALL DON'T APOLOGISE HAHAHA I've only been here since like April or May and I used to have some other Tumblr acc way back when but I'm. Still very confused a lot of the time I fear. AND THANK YOU FOR BOTH WISHES 💪💪 I'll roll today and I'm planning to call them up tomorrow

As for the meat of the matter (what a silly thing to say), there Might be a bit of confusion here which like. Fair enough I got a bit confused myself at first and I'm the one who made this fucking blog 😭 but to put it simply and VERY possibly cancel-worthy, I don't write for male-identifying people

I WOULD LIKE TO CLEAR UP THOUGH FIRST THAT I DO NOT HATE MEN PLEASE 😭😭😭 all of this sounds so very riskily worded idk how else to say it I'm so sorry :(

Long explanation utc but tldr: I just don't feel comfortable for my own reasons (such as my writing being self-indulgent), I differentiate sex from gender so afab and amab are different from fem, male and gender neutral, the Himeko ask wasn't a one-off but more of a compromise, and THANK YOU FOR DECIDING TO ASK AND CARE FOR MY COMFORT :(((( ily new anon I HOPE I DON'T SCARE YOU OFF BC OF THIS OMG 😭😭😭😭😭

Ok now if you don't mind my long-winded explanation, I use the terms amab or afab as a form of distinction between genitals in my smutposting bc I'm fine with such a thing, it's just writing for the male perspective that....bothers me? No that's not quite right, I do Discord rp and have played as men before, I think it's just more the fact that I write not just for other people but for myself too? If you read the dialogue for my demos and stuff, you'd probs be able to tell that this is all VERY self-indulgent—the reader's responses aren't really as neutral as I want them to be, leaning towards actions and phrases that I would use rather than cater to the general 'neutral' audience

Maybe it makes no difference in the end, bc everyone's their own individual and beyond the whole stereotype thing and the gymbro testosterone-esque macha-alpha bs you see sometimes, there aren't?? And really shouldn't be much of a link between genders and personal thoughts ig, if you catch my meaning. But I just Don't Feel Right writing ig. I don't think it helps that I've had a bad experience with a few men in my life, which while it doesn't define my view of the gender bc what the fuck man, it does define my comfort levels in writing

The reason why I wrote the Himeko ask with an amab reader was bc the og ask was with a MALE reader, which I've explained to you just now about. I could happily, EASILY do gn reader who was born male/has male endowments, but the mind is a whole different thing so I came to some kinda compromise instead bc I REALLY really did wanna write the request itself. At the end of the day, it all falls to semantics I suppose, but a gyal can't be blamed for being kinda specific ab stuff, right? 🫠🫠 Yeah no this wasn't a one-off, nor have the rules changed—if you look through my page, you can see Multiple Works of me writing a gn reader with an implied dick/strap alternative for people with fem genitalia haha

I DO appreciate you for asking beforehand though! Questions like these make me happy bc it shows yall care rather than just. Getting into it and jumping the gun I suppose!!! Sometimes my stomach just twists when I get a req for the male identity and it's a whole thing :(

17/04 - April Summary and Maintenance Notes for tomorrow!

Many things happened during April - the game went into Premiere and was met with mixed feelings about it. Even now, there are people are still raging about this implementation and deducing ways to compromise (e.g. implementing a Hybrid version with best features of both XE and Pre versions) on chinese Tieba boards. Anyway, this happened and nothing to be sad about!

Also, upon release of Premiere version, TianCity decided that they need a special currency to differ it from the rest of its games. Thus, Macha Stamps were implemented (due to how long the name is, I've decided to use a compromise called Neis, sowewhat a hybrid between Neamhain and NX). To get them, you buy NX for real money as always. However, you also need to convert those NX to Macha Stamps (Neis) to use cash-shop currency in game.

To somehow ease the rage (and make more of it!), TianCity also made it so a cash-shop fragment called Eternity Fragments.  Those fragments have a low chance to drop from Lv 60+ RAID battles. Those fragments can be exchanged for various cash-shop items, including wings.

Just when it seems like the end, TianCity decided to grab something from Neverwinter and also made it so Gacha Boxes called Goddess's Gift Box would drop in every battle possible. Those boxes can be also bought for 100 gold from Shire cat. The box contains some good items (with already disclosed drop rates), but the downside of it is that those boxes require keys (!) to open them. Keys are acquired from buying Lavi Whistle boxes in supply depot. The cost is the same as normal Gacha box - 80 Macha Stamps (Neis). Way to go, TianCity! (in a vaguely bad sense).

That's pretty much all that has been covered during April. Now to the maintenance part!
