Tattoos and Tulips, a game about finding love from a cheesy, and admittedly hot, tattoo artist, especially after escaping a rough part of life. I gave this game a shot after my friends and I did it injustice, and hoenstly it didn't deserve the hate we slapped on it. it's pretty cute, and I'll be doing a proper LP of it.

Give the game a chance, like I did. You might surprise yourself :D Get the Game 👉 https://meant-to-bee-studios.itch.io/tattoos-and-tulips 👉 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2427460/Tattoos_and_Tulips/

so i played through the whole of this game today. review incoming (i'll try not to spoil too much)

ive had this sitting in my downloads for a while now (no this isnt available on steam YET but it's free on itch.io so 👀👀) and i only got to it now. i initially got it bc of the whole tattoo artist x florist trope which is one of my fave tropes Ever and also bc i love tulips a normal amount (<- lying)

it's a kinetic visual novel, meaning theres actually no choices and it's basically just a bunch of clicking. and fangirling. the amount of times i thought Ya Allah during this was phenomenal. it was that cute

the mc, chrys (pronounced chris, it's supposed to be a reference to chrysanthemum) is this sarcastic white blonde twink who's so unlucky when it comes to romantic relationships and he just got out of a bad breakup and hes like I Am Never Dating Ever Again until one day the love interest, shay, who is this angelic tall hunk 6 pack-having guy walks into his flower shop then he thinks Nevermind I Am Going to Fuck the Living Daylights Out of This Guy

it's a bit of a slow burn i guess? they actually try to take it slow but like they end up getting together after a week so. and also another thing in the epilogue but i dont wanna spoil too much

the characters are all so goddamn loveable, from our beloved twink to even chrys' sister, daphne who only appeared for one scene. plenty relatable too. the amount of times i thought "they just like me fr" is insane. wish there were pets or animals or smth tho smh

the art is really nice, especially the character sprites and the flower shop itself but i find a few other locations a bit lacking, like the quality isnt that consistent. i mean i can kinda understand why? but it's just a bit of a nitpick. also i dont like granny's pose, it's weird, dont do her dirty like that

the voice acting is actually so good. sometimes it sounds a bit awkward but there are some moments that make up for the lesser moments. tho there were a few moments where i was like "why isnt this voiced??"

okay moving on to some of my actual complaints BUT i want to mention that i did download this a while ago like i said and i have no idea if my copy is the most updated one (it says 1.0 on the file so) so i wouldnt know if these issues have been fixed or not. but im gonna address them anyway

theres been a few times where the script/text looks... awkward? some dont align with the line delivery, some punctuations are just weird choices to make. and a lot of sentences end with a comma instead of a period

theres also this one scene where bea repeats a voiceline even tho the text is different. again, idk if they fixed it but it was glaringly obvious

but despite it all, it was a really really cute vn and i really do recommend it

FINAL RATING: 7.5/10

(author's note: i like calling it bpd simulator bc both chrys and shay are so bpd-coded to me)

cute tatts

Today marks the 62nd anniversary of Sylvia Plath’s death! RIP!

(27 October 1932, Boston, USA – 11 February 1963, London, UK)

...

Here is my second Sylvia Plath tattoo as a tribute to some of her most well-known and my favorite poems - “Tulips” and the bee poem sequence, especially “Wintering” and “Stings” - done by the incredibly talented Minmal Gdańsk at Sztorm Tattoo in Gańsk Wrzeszcz, Poland - my beautiful old home town, just a few streets away from where I used to live more than thirty years ago 😍

...

"The tulips are too excitable, it is winter here.

[…]

The tulips should be behind bars like dangerous animals;    They are opening like the mouth of some great African cat,    And I am aware of my heart: it opens and closes Its bowl of red blooms out of sheer love of me."

..

"The bees are all women, Maids and the long royal lady. They have got rid of the men,

The blunt, clumsy stumblers, the boors. Winter is for women ----

[…]

The bees are flying. They taste the spring."

..

"but I Have a self to recover, a queen. Is she dead, is she sleeping? Where has she been, With her lion-red body, her wings of glass?

Now she is flying More terrible than she ever was, red Scar in the sky, red comet Over the engine that killed her ---- The mausoleum, the wax house."

...

I got my first Sylvia Plath inspired tattoo back in 2021 and knew that I wanted another one, but I made the decision to get a tulip and a bee when I saw his Instagram and fell in love with his minimalistic style.

Additionally, this tattoo means a lot to me because it was done in the city I was born in and spent the first half of my childhood. It is a reminder of my home and my roots, a souvenir I will carry with me forever.

I am really in awe how beautiful it turned out!

It's definitely not my last Sylvia Plath tattoo!

Me a second after writing down my new year's resolutions

[chibifox2002]

Okay here's the ideas I got 4 Man-Man

(plus a scar layout for his arms and leg)

(also shout-out to @cosmicwhoreo for idea 2)

I'm actually thinking about putting idea 2 on Manny's back while idea 1 is on his arms!
