Souma's route was a slog to get through so here's some bad jokes that kept me awake

I got scared every time Kaji-san screamed ^^' Dialovers trauma is real

(So disappointed we didn't get a proper Dialovers reunion scene...)

(It's so weird to me that Hakuouki was first with the whole MC-gets-her-blood-sucked-by-her-love-interests thing and Dialovers just leaned into it more. Ah, and comparing the blood-drinking scenes from EB with DL really did me no good, it just frustrated me due to the missed opportunities... Especially since imagining Souma during Kanato's dummy head moments helped me get through his route ^^' I kinda want a Souma with some Kanato-elements now, you know? Oh, and not to mention all the shame every Hakuouki love interest felt before/while/after drinking blood, like: It wouldn't be awkward/bad if you didn't make it so! Also feels like kink-shaming tbh...)

Oml, saw your self-ship asks. K, so I wanna know whatever you want to share. But if I had to specify, I'd ask where did you meet and how.

I love hearing about self ships so don't hold back!

I have so so many but my biggest brainrot lately has been Tobirama (from Naruto) and we met at work. (TBH the series Darte un Beso on my AO3 is just one big selfship with an OC that's less traumatized than me).

Tobirama and I met at work. He's a scientist like me, though he's quite a bit above me. Even so he acknowledges the brains I have and the creativity that comes with it. I ran into him and picked his brain. Later on I just kept coming back to bounce ideas off of him. Then I flirted my way into his heart while being forward af about it.

How A Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom: 2nd Season (2022)

Plot premise:  Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki Together with his talented aides, the "Realist Hero" Kazuya Souma continues his quest of reinvigorating the Elfrieden Kingdom through administrative reform. Having successfully conquered Van—the capital city of the Principality of Amidonia—Kazuya now faces the envoy from Gran Chaos Empire, who wishes to impose punishment for breaching the ban on war established by the Mankind Declaration Treaty. Despite the dire situation, Kazuya sees a path to avoid unnecessary conflict whilst gaining new allies. With his plan being seemingly perfect, the only barrier to success is gaining approval from the envoy.

Network: Funimation Episodes (and episode length): 13 (23 mins) Creator: Watanabe Takashi (director) Cast: Kobayashi Yuusuke, Minase Inori, Ueda Reina, Hasegawa Ikumi, Ichimichi Mao, Kahara Moe, Okitsu Kazuyuki, Terakawa Aimi IMDB | RottenTomatoes

± As the second season expands into external issues after managing to unite the kingdom, it does finally step into a couple of actually Machiavellian courses of actions and not just ideology. It still remains a smart political story and starts to cover the international relations that a kingdom could develop. It's pretty fun, even though the harem part went a little over the line by basically hypnotizing Souma into revealing his feelings rather than letting the characters talk about it, eep. But i suppose it's at least nice how they all genuinely care in some way.

Once an ordinary citizen of our world, Kazuya Souma suddenly found himself in a completely different realm. He was quickly hailed as a hero with a daunting task: to save an entire kingdom from impending doom. But Kazuya's approach to heroism was different from what anyone had in mind. Instead of leading troops into battle and spilling blood on the battlefield, he sought to use his intelligence, strategy, and modern-day knowledge to revolutionize the kingdom and bring about lasting peace. The people of this new world were skeptical at first. Still, as they witnessed the incredible advancements that Kazuya's unconventional methods brought about, they began to see that perhaps there was another way to save their beloved land. And as Kazuya continued to work tirelessly, they realized he might be the hero they needed. He gathers talented people from across the country to help get the country back on track. He uses knowledge from his past life to improve the country's economic situation and takes down those with corrupt intentions. Read the full article

Can’t belive I forgot to post this here

Here is one of my OCs aesthetic board!

(submitted by @dtgvxg​)

on the one hand this is Very Good but on the other hand I’m very 👀👀👀 startled bc I used to have a mask like that irl

[somepinkthing]

Yuki sohma and natsume takashi are very similar in character: both are beautiful, kind, considerate, actually very snarky, secretly a mess, insecure, mysterious, quiet, awkward, filled with anxiety, sickly, popular without trying to be, cautious around people, a bit introverted, desire to be needed, scared, hide away their hurt, lonely, feel isolated, are uncomfortable in their own personas, and are trying so so hard to live happy lives. They both eventually grow past their abuse and learn how to connect with people while remaining kind. They are also very similar in love. As in I love them both so much and no one better hurt them ever again or else

Hakuōki sharing VAs with Diabolik Lovers...

This feels wrong somehow...

Kaji Yūki as Sōma Kazue and Sakamaki Kanato & Kondō Takashi as Miki Saburō and Sakamaki Subaru.

(Maybe the last one was on purpose because of the name similarities...)

What playing Sōma’s route is like for me now...

This kinda makes sense...

Morikubo Shōtarō as Okita Sōji and Tsukinami Shin.

And this... This is... weird.

Toriumi Kōsuke as Saitō Hajime and Sakamaki Shū.

BTW: Shout-out to @tournesolia​ for providing the translations that made the Haunted Dark Bridal playthrough by It’s Moog on YouTube possible! Thank you very much for your hard work!

How A Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom: 1st Season (2021)

Plot premise:  Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki After the death of his grandfather, 19-year-old Kazuya Souma—an aspiring civil servant—is left all alone with no one to call family. Out of the blue, he is transported to the Elfrieden Kingdom, a small ailing country in another world, to be a "hero." An ongoing war with the demon army has put the entire world in peril, and Kazuya was summoned to aid in the conflict as an offering from Elfrieden to its allies.

Dissatisfied with being used as tribute, Kazuya decides to help the kingdom revamp its declining economy—not by way of adventuring or war, but through administrative reform. Abruptly declared the King of Elfrieden and betrothed to the princess, the "Realist Hero" Kazuya sets out to assemble a group of talented citizens who will assist him in his bureaucratic battles to get the kingdom back on its feet.

± How fitting for Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince. One of the different kinds of isekai, where the hero isn't gung ho to fight and has a very different kind of skillset thanks to their previous life in Japan. It's very much a political story rather than anything else and quite interesting in its endeavor. Uniting a diverse kingdom isn't easy and Souma shows excellent leadership skills when he immediately finds specialists to delegate tasks to.
