Laughter Land Review
Long time no see, dear readers.
I feel quite ashamed for sharing this so late, but I was sick and then busy with real life and couldnât finish this review. (I even had to replay some parts to write this) But I still hope you enjoy reading my review of Laughter Land. This game was recommended by my friend, and first, I didnât want to play it because, letâs say I donât like shota much, but she promised me its good and that it doesnât have much sexual content. She was right with both, so here we are.
Warning for 18 content (spoiler are seperated)
Description:
Dick is a young boy living in a village who is bored with schoolwork and his everyday life. One day, he attends the village fair and meets a mysterious boy dressed like a court jester called Guillered who offers to bring him to a world called Laughter Land where oneâs every wish is granted and there is no work, only play and no one ever grows up. Dick agrees and is brought to Laughter Land.
Story:
For a game that came out in 2006 I was honestly impressed how good the game was, not to say older games always have to be bad, but they usually not as well developed and lack in pacing and writing, so itâs hard to compare them with newer games, but this one stands the test of time quite well. I finished it in one week and the game is not near as short as one might think. The story kept me glued to the screen because once you finished a route you would unlock new parts that continued the story. I really liked the pacing in the game, it didnât feel rushed at all, and everything felt well developed. Despite most of the characters being very young, it didnât feel like you were playing a game aimed at children, it still had a good share of mature and serious content. The game felt like a modern Peter Pan story and revolves around the topic of growing up, which is why in that context it makes sense for the characters to be as young as they are. As for the routes, the game has normal routes (which continue the story) and character routes (where the romance parts take place). You need to finish the normal routes to unlock new routes. Once you finish the first normal route you start the game at a different place. There is a also true route in the game. The quality of the routes depends on the one you play, some are really good some are not so good. The normal routes are better in comparison to the character routes but this is to be expected.
Characters
Dick
We have the main character âDickâ (yes thatâs his name) who is taken to Laughter Land (by force btw, Guillered didnât bother asking much). Dick is funny, cheeky and despite his young age rather mature. He has his childish moments but is quite smart and I had a good time with him. Oh, and he tops 90% of the times.
Roddy
The free spirit boy, who lives in the forest in Laughter Land. He loves to go on adventure, is very kind and a good boy and he loves to fly. He was the first route I played and the one I liked the most.
Ioan
He is the apprentice of the greatest wizard of Laughter land, Mater Northbrook. Ioan is very childish, very clumsy, and way too criminal looking for my taste. I didnât like neither his route nor his character (he sounds kind of annoying, too).
Sergi
He lives in the Forbidden Zone, a place where children who lose their permission to stay in Laughter Land have to live, which is basically just a slum. He is looking for his family that is still in Laughter Land. Sergi is rather calm but can have his sassy moments and heâs slightly tsundere. His route is connected to the plot of the game and therefore was interesting to play.
Cornel
He and his older brother are living together in a mansion in Laughter Land and hunt the âblueâ people (the one who lost their permission to stay in Laughter Land, like Sergi), and bring them to the Forbidden Zone. His route was somethingâŠ. Truly something⊠not bad just something.
Greg
Greg also lives in the Forbidden Zone and is friends with Sergi, he is the âwomanizerâ in the game and his other hobby is to pick up poor children off the street and animals (He had a crocodile names âStephanieâ living in his bathroom. Despite his womanizer ways, I actually really like Greg a lot. He is very motherly and very funny.
Dag
The criminal ossan of the game. His route was terrible and honestly, I didnât expect anything to be worse than Ioan and no Iâm not saying that only because of the FBI worth calling- age gap. Despite that I thought his personality was actually quite nice. He works as an inventor and Dicks works for him in every route where he lives in the Forbidden Zone. He also likes alcohol, a LOT, so Dick has to go full mother mode on him sometimes.
Guillered
The âmastermindâ behind Laughter Land, he brings all the children to laughter land. To be honest, this shota needs 3000h of therapy before he is ready to be released at humanity again. Although he has his reason to be the way he is, I just thought that he was absolutely bonkers. And he is also one of the more criminal looking characters.
Music &Art
The art is really cute and has this soft childlike feature (which makes sense in the setting of course) and no yaoi face syndrome because you know shotas and all. Music was also really good, I really loved the ending song.
Conclusion
My personal order from best to worst was Roddy/Greg/Sergi/Cornel/Guillered/Ioan/Dag. I didnât want to go far into spoiler here because I want to engage people to play it because this game is too good to not to play so I fully recommend it, please try even if you arenât into Shota.
Spoiler Part
.
.
.
Now letâs talk about the spoilery part about the game. Like said the game is a Modern peter Pan story. Laughter Land is completely controlled by children. And for it to stay that way the characters have to remain a child inside their mind (well and outside too because they donât age), meaning any mature behaviour can lead to you being kicked out and put into the Forbidden Zone, where you have to live in poverty (and grow old) Children sent to the forbidden Zone can grow up to adults because the rules in Laughter Land donât apply there, but how do they know that a character is too mature and needs to be send to the forbidden Zone, well when children are taken to Laughter Land, they all get a red gems implanted inside their bodies by Guillered, this gem can grand any wish. If they characters begin to make mature choices, their gem slowly begins to turn purple until itâs blue, once its blue itâs impossible to turn it back to red (apparently). Thatâs why the people from the forbidden Zone are often called âthe blueâ. Blue crystal canât grant wishes anymore and are practically useless. And thatâs how the choice system in this game works, you basically make childish/mature choices, which lead to Dick either staying in Laughter Land and ending up with one of its residence or him being put in the Forbidden Zone where he ends up with one of its characters. Since growing up is a part of live, itâs only to be expected that the Forbidden Zone is full of people.
And now letâs go through the different route.
Normal Route
The first route I played was the normal route, which has no romantic partner for Dick but needs to be played to unlock more routes and is important for the plot. It begin with Dick going to the village fair where he meets Guillered who brings him to Laughter Lan. There he gets his gem an meets Roddy and Ioan (and Ioan fucking Onee-san broom who can speak and makes really weird sexual comments, A FUCKING BROOM jesus Iâm not over that broomâŠ. Oh and also a speaking plush toy dog who also can speak. Both of these are made for Ioan by his Master Northbrook). Ioan agrees to let Dick stay with him until he builds his own house. So, the next few days/weeks (idk how long it took) are spent with Dick building his home and meeting people in Laughter Land. Once he finishes his house, he meets Cornel and his big bro who are looking for âthe blueâ with an army of iron soldiers, who are made specifically to hunt for âblueâ. Following an adventure with Roddy in the forest at night, Dick actually gets to meet one of the âbluesâ, Sergi. This encounter leads him to wonder why blues are even being hunted, despite them being the same as the people from Laugher Land. But sadly, Dick doesnât have much time to think about it, because his own gem has turned blue after making too many mature choices. This is soon discovered by Ioan and Dick is brought to the Forbidden Zone. (Boys barely had time to life in the house he spent weeks on building)
There he gets immediately robbed by a young boy named Aby, and is picked up by (Mother) Greg, he also gets to meet with Sergi again and gets to know Dag. Greg also picks up Aby up after the poor boyâs brother is killed and he is sold into prostitution by a fucking asshole name Zachariah who also drugs him (god I want to stab this man so bad). Dick later gets a job at Dag who helps him with his inventor job and plays the mother role because Dag is a mess. One day Dag asks him if he want to return home and Dick says he does, so Dag gets the crazy idea to build a machine to bring him back to the real world. This plan has to stay secret because if the organization name Serpent, who basically controls the area finds out about it they will be in big trouble. Like you expect they do find out because a girl name Leesha, tricks Aby into telling her about his plan, by promising him to let him take revenge for his brotherâs death, which only leads to Aby dying by fucking Zachariah (who killed his brother btw). While Aby is having a not great time, Dick is put in the machine and before they can use the magic of their gems (yes, I know in normal case it shouldnât work but Dag promised it will work) they are killed by fucking Zachariah soldier army. With Dick still stuck in the machine, he can only hear how his friends get murdered, but for some reason their gems actually manage to work, and Dick is brought back to the real world again. His first goal back at home, is to give the letter, to the person Dag asked him to deliver it. And here is where the first part of the story ends.
Important to note is also that when you get your gem in the beginning you also get a list with peopleâs name on it. These names get crossed out with every wish you make because they represent people in the real world, who forgot about you. Oh, and Dag also mentions that Laughter Land is actually call âSlaughter Landâ (yeah fun times)
Being the first route, I played, I was really glued to my scream especially when a âto be continuedâ appeared on the screen after the route ended.
Roddy
Now letâs talk about the characterâs routes. Roddyâs route hurt me on a physical and emotional level. Like I mentioned Roddy is a good boy who lives in the forest and loves to go on adventure where he takes his friends with. He also loves to fly (which he can do because of his gem and all) and take Dick (by force) with him on his flying adventure. If Dick stays a good (childish) boy he can continue living in his house in Laughter Land and becomes friends with Roddy and together they go on adventure like in the forest, where time stands still. There they find a random machine and are curious what itâs for, but canât figure it out, so they decide to ask around. They look in the library at Ioans place and ask people, but just canât to find the answer, so they come up with the idea for Ioan to ask his Master to make the machine talk by itself.
While this is all happening it also becomes really clear that Dick and Roddy both developing romantic feeling for each other, but Roddy is very pure so he doesnât understand his feelings. At some point he also tells Dick that he likes him, with Dick questioning what kind of âlikeâ his like is and tells Roddy to figure it out.
Meanwhile Ioan calls Dick to have a private conversation with him over this machine. Ioan then tells him that he should not tell Roddy about it because the machine is actually something from the real world and was inside Roddy to help keep his heart beating.
So, while all of this is happening Roddy begins to have weird dream in which he sees a boy in a hospital. Well as you can guess, Roddy was actually heart sick in the real world and the machine was there to keep him alive, but it turns out that he was supposed to die, which is why he was brought to Laughter Land, where he could finally fulfil his dream of living a normal life and flying in the sky. But Roddy doesnât remember his life at this point yet.
At some point he urges Dick to continue searching for answers about the machine, but Dick tell him he wants him to stop. After some arguing, Roddy then promised him not to look for it anymore. Then they have the whole conversation about liking each other with Dick showing him what kind of like he has for Roddy (yes, I mean they have sex).
To be honest I was a little scared of the H-scene in this game and wanted to skip them in the beginning, but it wasnât too bad actually and more bearable because they are around the same age. Generally, the H-scene in this game fall into 3 categories: Criminal underage, young but bearable and criminal age gap (aka Dag).
The next day, after their love play Roddy falls asleep and doesnât wake up anymore, so Dick calls Guillered, seeking for help. Guillered tells him that normally children donât dream in Laughter Land and that Roddy does because of Dickâs special power he has in his hand that makes people remember their forgotten memories, which is currently happening to Roddy. The only way to save him is either to delete all memory of Dick and for Dick not get close to Roddy anymore or to let Roddy die, because as it turns out Roddy is already supposed to be dead, the only reason he is alive in Laughter Land is because his special power. With his power he can stop time, like in the forest he lives in and in himself.
Dick has a hard time deciding and ask for more time, which he does but after a few days itâs already too late and Roddy wakes up with all his memories restored. He thanks Dick for all the time they spent together AND FUCKING DIES *credit role*âŠâŠ I was sobbing in my pillow at this point wtf this is so sad TT_TT
But luckily, we get an after-credit scene and as it turns out Dick actually erased all his memories, so Roddy is alive and doing well but Dick canât be with him anymore, and yet Roddy wants to get to know him and take him on adventure (more crying into my pillow)
The route was so good but so terrible sad TT_TT and the worst part is that itâs the only pairing in the game, that has no happy end like WHY. My friend also told me there is a drama CD and apparently, they keep falling in love, with Roddy having his memories erased every timeâŠ. My heart is hurting. 10/10 tears for that route.
Ioan
So if you get to know not very legal Ioan you learn that heâs struggling with something. And that something is trauma of killing a child (like wtf?). Apparently like 20 years ago (how old are these shota again?) Laughter Land fell in disaster with monster like things attacking the residence and the only way to stop it was to kill a child, which Ioan dropped from a building or something. And that must have been very disturbing for him because he now takes fucking drugs to deal with his trauma and he is pretty addicted to it (ah yes, the classic drug bl plot that I so much canât stand. At least itâs with a character I dislike)
At this point, I donât even remember how the route played out, thatâs how uninteresting it was. But yeah, Dick wants of course to help Ioan but Guillered asks him if he is ready to accept the truth Ioan is hiding, which Dick says he does. The truth is that his Master Northbrook is actually he himself (I donât know why itâs even such a big deal? Probably the lying part but still) so yeah Northbrook, who is said to be the only adult in Laughter Land isnât actually an adult, but adults donât actually exist in Laughter Land, and thatâs how Dick found out that something was must be wrong.
So Dick accepts Ioan and Ioan is like yay letâs get close which Dicks, for some reason sees as an invitation for sex (yeah I donât know either) so they do it, which probably has to be the most illegal and uncomfortable H-scene I have ever seen and I ended up skipping most of it *shudders*. And they live happy ever after. Coming fresh from Roddyâs route I was pissed why this shitty shota gets a happy end and Roddy not????? Fuck him.
Also, I need to talk about Ioanâs fucking broom, so like mentioned his Master aka he himself made him some friends by giving life to a fucking broom and a dog stuff animal but this beside. The fucking broom is not only an onee san (aka a feminine gay man) but also in love with basically every boy who gives him attention, with his favourite being Ioan of courseâŠI just couldnât deal with this broom.
Sergi
For Sergi you have to finish the normal end because this route starts in the Forbidden Zone, which is interesting because according to the others Dick came to the forbidden Zone 10 years ago, so when he was a small child, but Dick remembers all what happened in the route before (the normal one when everyone died, and he returned to the real world).
Like before Dick is living with Greg and Aby and working for Dag. So, one time they decide to visit the casino because Greg wants to spend (Dickâs) money (lmao) which they end up doing, they also take Sergi and Aby with them. Dick tried poker for the first time while Greg cheats on some games, with Aby getting some drinks for him. At the end of the day, they canât find Aby anymore and decide to return home. Few days later Aby is still missing because as it turns out fucking Zachariah took him (again) and his bitch of a helper (the only girl you ever see in the game) and made him their play toy to sell to customers (and I warn here if you donât want to see 5-7 year old be raped on screen better not play this, even I had to skip it)
After few weeks they throw Aby out on the street like trash after he got addicted to drugs (AGAIN, oh yeah this is the same drug Ioan is taking, which is apparently popular). The others luckily find Aby and take him home. Greg the good mother he is angry and wants to take revenge. Sergi say he is crazy, and they have a small fight with Greg running out of the house. Sergi tells Dick that he will probably leave the city to go over to Laughter Land to find the family he has been looking for, which is still living there, or so he has heard and if Dick wants, he can come with him.
This is where the routes start to separate. If you decided to go with Sergi you can play either his or Cornelâs route, if you stay, youâll be playing Greg or Dag. But since this is about Sergi weâre going with him.
Dick meets with Sergi at night where the latter had gotten them a carriage to pass the border. After being chased by enemies and some shooting, they reach it, but unfortunate for them as theyâre about to pass the bother they met Cornel and his big bro. Cornel says he wants to see if their gems are red, which of course they arenât but at he is about to check, their gems suddenly shine in red so they are allowed to pass. Dickâs gem turned red again and we learn later that Sergi can actually change the colour of his gem himself.
The first day they just wander around Laughter Land trying to find some clues. They go meet Ioan, where Sergi gets sexually harassed by the gaze of the onee san broom, but they donât find anything. Later they meet Cornel (and his bro) again, who lets them stay at his super fancy mansion. Â Cornel says they can stay there while looking for Sergiâs mother (is who Sergi is actually looking for). Dick asks Guillered for help, who tells him that Laughter Land doesnât have many girls so it should be easy to find her. They manage to steal a book from Ioan with the help of their gem, that has notes about a girl and take turns reading it over the following days. In short, the notebook is about a girl and her friend who live in laughter land and are told by Guillered to get along with a newbie named Zach. The girl starts taking an interest in the new guy, who seems to be a little weird and apparently it leads to a romantic relationship because she later gets pregnant from him and gives birth a child which throws the world into a chaos. The Zach guy gets than banned to the Forbidden Zone as well as the friend who also like the girl. But since they took the baby away from the girl, she gets depressed and tries to commit suicide, so Guillered erases her memory and put her into a room, that she canât leave. And that girl is name Leesha, who was actually shown before in the route because Dick visited her before with Roddy. And the child is actually Sergi himself but not only that, itâs also the child Ioan supposedly killed. The friend is Greg and Zach is the fucking Zachariah (but this part is never really explained because he is such a douche suddenly?) So, after they find out who Segiâs mother is they visit her and spent some time with her (of couse she doesnât recognise Sergi) before Sergi decided to go back to the Forbidden Zone where he lived all his life. Dick goes with him. After return they start dating basically and also Sergi is the bottom (nice). They also learn that Greg, Dag and Aby are missing but in the very end its hinted on that they are still alive. The lore reveal was really good here and how it connected to the previous routes. You can tell the writer put a lot of thoughts in this.
Cornel
Cornelâs route basically starts the same as Sergiâs and separates after Sergi and Dick start chilling at his mention. One night at the mansion Dick hears some weird sounds and it turns out its coming from Cornel because HE IS FUCKING HIS OWN BROTHER WHAT. So, brother-fucker Cornel has some kind of onii-san kink (should have seen this coming) and it all goes back to his life in the real world where he apparently really loved his brother and always wanted to spend time with him. But with Dicks magic hand (why does that sounds so weird?) abilities Cornel remembers at some point that his real brother was actual an asshole who abused him and the âperfectâ brother of his was only living in his fantasies. (forget daddy issues, here we have onii-san issues) and his brother in laughter land is basically a personification of that fantasy, also the brother is actually one of the iron soldiers. The route ends with the brother gets destroyed in the end and cornel can live happy together with Dick after they start their relationship and Sergi returns back home. YeahâŠ. The brother thing was weird.
Normal route 2.0
Same as with Cornel and Sergi it follows the same start and basically almost goes up to the end of Cornels route, only difference is that Guillered shows up and STABS dick before Dick can help Cornel, saying that he fucked up, so yeah Guillered is responsible for these time travel things. Honestly, I recommend playing Cornel first before doing this route because it basically almost spoils everything of his route and I was just skipping most of it when I finally reached it.
Greg
Gregs route has the same start as Sergiâs, so everything with the Casino and the abuse of Aby happens and it goes until the part Greg wants to take revenge and runs away, with Dick following and talking to him, this time. Dick also talks with Dag who gives him a special weapon to kill the iron soldiers. Before Dick and Greg set their plan into action they have a last talk, which end up with Greg almost sneaking out at night and Dick is (of course) not happy with that, so Dick gets Greg to  take him with him, but before they leave Greg kisses him as vow of this promise (he also says that this kind of kiss you can only give a true man xD). They sneak into the organisation, take out a bunch of enemies and reach the room where fucking Zachariah is. Once they enter it and Greg confronts him, his bitch of a helper girl (who btw is Leesha or should I rather say looks like her) is all like âwah donât kill himâ but of course itâs only to trick Greg, which she manages, steals the gun from him and uses against him. Greg is confused why she would do that because, as said before, they were friends once. Then Dick goes all hero mode on him and first shoots the girl who turns out to be an iron soldier and then fucking Zachariah. Oh yeah Greg also gets shot and then died dramatically on the floor- as if lol he is just a drama queen, he survives of course. A while later when we actually get confirmed that Greg is really just dramatic and still alive, Dick asks him why he is not playing around with woman anymore and Greg says that he has someone he like and lets Dick guess. Dick then asks him if he likes him which Greg confirms. Then he says that he fell in love with Dick because Dick had been so cool during their attack on fucking Zachariah that he couldnât help himself not to fall in love (awww thatâs so sweets), then he asks if Dicks feels the same and Dick says he doesnât mind, which Gregs basically takes as mutual feeling and happily screams how Dick likes him too, after he kisses Dick and they have happy sexy times (with Dick being bottom for the first time, how exiting). But thatâs not all, once they start dating the apparently fuck every night and Dick is sick of it and decides to take revenge while Greg is asleep and gives him a blowjob first and then decides he is daddy now and goes top mode on him AHAHAHAHAHA. The CGs looks so stupid, because despite Gregâs face looking young, his body is clearly one of an adult, while Dick is still baby, and it just looks ridiculous. I had some serious fangirl moments in this route, Greg is such a good boy and a very caring mother, him falling for Dick because of how cool he was, is so funny but also so cute. I really enjoyed this route.

IM THE BENREY THAT RAN UP TO YOUR BOOTH AR AMW THIS YEAR AND MY FRIEND BOUGHT ME LIKE ALMOST ALL YOUR VALVE STUFF, I LITERALLY CRIED WHEN I GOT BACK TO THEIR ROOM CAUSE LIKE DUDE. THAT MEANT EVERYTHING FOR ME, I WAS GENUINELY SO SO SO HAPPY TO SEE THE FANDOM IS STILL ALIVE AND IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR FANS IN THE WILD FOR YEARS. THE EXPERIENCE WAS ENLIGHTENING TO SAY THE LEAST AND IM SO SO JOYOUS ABOUT IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH !1!11! :âą3
:D !!!! HI!!! I REMEMBER YOU!!! THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY, I'M SO HAPPY IT WAS MEMORABLE FOR YOU!!
people who are so enthusiastic about the things i make and the fandoms i rep at my booth are THE #1 coolest part of the experience đ„ș i feel like convention artist alleys these days are mostly filled with the same 4 popular anime/mobile games and it's really hard to find less popular anime, let alone things like video games and webseries. you would not believe how many comments I got that people never see things like Team Fortress 2 or Portal in AAs, let alone stuff like Infinity Train or HLVRAI đ the people who recognize them are always SO excited and then I'M excited and we are BOTH excited and nerding out together. it's fantastic!!!
the hlvrai fandom is definitely still going strong! i still see a lot of fanart and community posts and my sales on my few hlvrai things on my etsy have Not slowed down lmao. i'm sure if covid didn't happen there would have been so many benry cosplayers in 2020. we were ROBBED </3 i've seen You and one benry cosplayer at ACEN last year and that was IT </3 </3 </3
#ask#agoraphobiclemons#at anime central i had an admin for one of the radiotvsolutions folks stop by my booth. they were also very excited#to see my art prints i had of the science team!! they were also very nice :3 and a neopets fan. big W#hlvrai is one of those fandoms where you might not meet them super often but when you do they're the coolest people#anyway hearing from people who saw me at cons is so so so fun#im booked for the same con next year already and fingers crossed i can get into acen again#anyway. fellow artists. bring some merch for things that aren't the biggest thing in the world#if everyone's selling genshit midpact you have to split the attention of every attendee who plays it#if you're the only booth selling something thats only moderately popular though. you'll get all that attention to yourself#and everyone that recognizes it will be really really excited about it. and then its not a Transaction its an Interaction and its FUN#i am saying this as somebody who never watches popular anime or plays gacha games pleeeeeeease diversify your catalogues dhjbdsfbhj#i started attending cons in 2016 and the 2016 ~ 2019 cons were completely different from cons in 2022 ~ 2024#and 'oh well they're Anime Cons ofc they have an emphasis on anime' isnt even an excuse because before 2020 it wasnt like that#esp here in chicago where we have like. three pop culture cons total. and they all have Anime in the name. doesnt stop anybody#or at least it didnt used to#anyway i am mentally pinning this ask in my brain corkboard and i will look at it forever <3 fandom is beautiful#THANK YOU FOR THE MESSAGE !!!! <3

not pitting sincaraz against each other just pointing out an objective truth that jannik was not a dominate player/potential grand slam winner last season (age 21/22) and carlos will finish this season semi-dominant and with two more grand slams (+ an olympic medal) (age 20/21). you can see how quickly a player's career can turn around within one season. so any talk about carlos being washed/playing badly sounds silly to me i can't lie. yes carlos wasn't as successful this year as last year. yes carlos wasn't as successful this year as jannik. last year jannik's highlights were throwing up in a trash can and beating djoko in davis cup (exaggerating.) so i really feel like carlos's struggles this season are slightly overinflated. we talk about "he has time he has time" let's be clear not only does he have time in his career (he is literally 21) he also has time on his closest current rival (age-wise, carlos's 2024 season is jannik's 2022 season). it will be two years before carlos is even the same age as jannik is now. so like. lets be chill here u know.
#carlos is a wonderkid! a starboy! he's also just a kid and a boy#i feel like people talk about him having time in his career so often and its true but it also always makes me think like#he's already so far ahead for his age#he's been going through rough patches but in truth i still consider him more successful than jannik#'better player' <- different discussion#but more successful in my mind#i think people just see jannik's dominance this year and assume that's where carlos should be because he's already gotten so much success#and they forget that carlos is still in the infancy of his career#an infancy that i think jannik has only *just* grown out of in a purely temporal sense#i do think the next two or three seasons will determine a lot about both of their careers#but for carlos i think it has much more to do with moderation than performance#i.e. can he put his head down and focus more on improving his game than on bare results#if he listens to the way fans squawk about his 'poor performance' im worried he'll just keep trying harder#that he'll play more events that he'll be less cautious/strategic etc#my biggest fear is him breaking his body or mind before age 25#but i think as long as he gets through the next few seasons without giving in too much to the pressure of winning every slam/tournament....#he'll be okay guys. he really will

really wish my one friend would quit flirting with me. and trying to goad me into hanging out more. and assigning us fictional characters that are oh-so-coincidently either couples or with romantic tension. and then interrupting our gameplay to ask me repeatedly if I think theyâre âlike usâ (which they rarely areâŠ). and matching my icon on discord without asking (again, usually by insinuating a couple connection). and giving me random things I do not want and did not ask to receive (and then forcing me to take them???).
#storyrambles#itâs not creepy. just for context. itâs just irritating because Iâve told this person repeatedly that Iâm not interested in romance.#this person is also naturally a huge romantic so it is next to impossible to tell whether itâs actual flirtation or just flirting for fun#flirting for fun is cool. I wouldnât mind that. but if I do it once this person will take that as an invitation to do it an excessive amoun#but yeah after being given 12 roses out of the blue when I said âno donât buy me flowersâ. thereâs only so many things that can mean#âitâs nice to see your face you always cover it!â âŠIâm masking. because of covid#Iâm narrating a game and suddenly âI like hearing your voice I should call you every day so I can hear it for 10 minutesâ. âŠno.#âyou have to take the snack I brought you know itâs rude to refuse a giftâ I have never refused a gift. It is rude. But also I didnât ask.#âyou know this game is one you can play without talking so we can play more often!â we already play games once a week for usually 3 hours.#âbut itâs not talking so itâs less social energyâ no. that is not how it works.#sorry for the rant im just. tired.#you know those people who are so pleasant to hang out with and then they try way too hard#and thatâs actually what makes things awkward? rather than when theyâre just being themselves?#yeah. thatâs this friend here.#usually I go along with the bit but when I can never tell when the bit is actually a bit#and you insist on me taking on the âgirl roleâ for most of them#I am not going to play along.#UGH donât get me started on the âyouâre cute when youâre flusteredâ#I wasnât even flustered. I was trying to do mental math while running on four hours of sleep and he was staring directly at me#itâs uncomfortable.#also. I never want to hear that again. fuck. âyouâre cute when youâre angryâ âyouâre cute when youâre upsetâ ALL THE FUCKING TIME AS A KID#will I be so cute after I kick you in the nuts? will I?#(for clarity I donât want to kick him. I want to kick those other people.)#I need a lot of alone time. I really do. I can do 3 hours and then I will be drained for the rest of the day.#âhow did you grow up? did you not talk to your mom for more than 3 hours a day?â#first of all. thatâs different?#secondly we actually regularly do separate things without talking to each other. or go in separate rooms to take some time to ourselves#also I donât have to be on high alert for if Iâm going to be flirted with. so.#ugh. I like him as a friend. I really do. I know this all makes it seem like the opposite. I try so hard to be as nice as possible.#but UGHHHHHH

I was trying to do a little catch up in nightbringer
I finished lesson 20 and they like joke(?) about moving to the human world and staying at the MCs home if they cant stay in the devildom
And i just wanna seriously consider the logistics of MC trying to house 7 other people
Most of us are probably living with other people (who may not be okay with sharing a space with so many strangers suddenly) and/or dont have a giant sized place
And this is assuming the mc is staying at a house and not an apartment....
#obey me nightbringer#dont think anyone will last a day in this situation.#realistically theyre all gonna probably have to share 1 room right....#2 if we r lucky#at my home we have an extra bedroom and a living room#and the extra room technically belongs to my grandpa when he visits from ghana so...#id be like....yall gotta come up with some human identities and find jobs so you can move into a different place#im not trying to abandon them in the human world of course#especially mammon for several reasons#but yea....#and outside of living arrangements mc would have to teach them to live in this damn world#and navigate new social norms urghh#my head hurts thinking about it#like ânoooo u cant fuckin threaten people so flippantly when they piss u off unless u wanna make my life more difficult!!â#ik they could take ppl in fight sure but god#what if they get arrested#ugh sorry my mind is just going towards all the worst case scenarios lol#anyways im gonna try to start next lesson but im already getting tired of playing these rhythm games sigh

serving cunt with the same haircut for 10 years
#miik plays veilguard#emil lavellan#datv spoilers#this is the closest i could get him to look to his og face without his actual lip shape#the eyes and the nose are good but he doesnt have a cupids bow#and none of the presets have that like. straight shape lip. all of them have cupids bows#also did the va do it on purpose or did his voice naturally drop like 10 octanes in a decade#i thought i had chosen the other voice accidentally until i heard the british accent#i am happy with what theyve shown so far but well see later i guess#i thought i was sooo advanced in the game cause im like 30 fucking hours in and i checked and im not even done with act 1#i am doing absolutely all of the side content as soon as i get it so i knew the hours were kinda bloated but man.#i am already thinking of my next pt the mental illness is real

drew my new kitten as a âwarmupâ but have to stop here because shes being a rascal
#her name at the shelter was pog btw. like the game but now her full name is cricket pogchamp#cat#cricket#pets#artists on tumblr#drew some blue in her eyes. bad at picking colors from irl that much but shes got a very small blue ring in there still#though shes close to having her regular eyes. i think they will be yellow?#i love her but whew cant wait til shes big......... will probably update what she looks like#tried to make her look deliberately worried with her whiskers btw. she seems sad but she was abnormally snuggly on day 1#she cried in the carrier and hid under my drawer for like 5 minutes then instantly got to exploring and 1 hour in she showed her belly#which. im a first time cat owner but im told thats absolutely insane for a kitten on day 1#shes already sleeping on me and stuff and snuggling next to me.... playing w her is the hard part bc lack of energy#idk if itll ever be enough for her but i am trying! i want her to be happy. also i think rn she mostly likes me when im sitting#otherwise she darts away when i walk around. i think bc im like this weird giant to her#oh also shes apparently just tiny? bc her mom was small too so she'll probably grow up to be a small cat#everyones going on abt how my aunts cats were bigger at her age sdklfjsdlfds (8 weeks almost 9!)
