#and while im excited for nightbringer

[otome-on-the-side]

people have been complaining about how all the character progression “isnt dark enough” and when they brought new characters to om there was a huge back lash (in part due to fandom misogyny @ 13) to characters being mean again and like. idk I hate how i saw nothing but “ohhh i wish it was back to how it was early game” or “ohhh the japanese version is so much darker” and it KILLS me to see those exact memes and jokes translated over to nightbringer AT THE COST of the main story. 

OM has always been intensely fan desire driven to it’s own detriment via events and a lot of unsavory fanservice, and it frustrates me deeply that when om’s main story got even a little conflict driven, people hated it, often due to how lessons were released.

It’s very much a game thats caught between trying to satisfy as many people as possible and tell a story that doesn’t give itself enough room to breathe - certain beats need multiple lessons to tell, and when people whip themselves into a froth over a dramatic moment that isnt full resolved, it’s rough. 

idk i have such mixed feelings about this development

okay let me finally show you my updated f/o list!! I am also planning to add some s/i info but tbh i still havent gotten to it cause im procrastinating it while trying to relax doing other stuff klsdksj here it is!! (I am aware that the first photos look weird in phones so pls bare with me and put it in pc mode lmaoo im a carrd super-beginner)

now if you'd let me, Imma talk a bit about the changes just because

I wanted to get a bit more specific mentioning platonic f/os so even if I like many characters in sources like Obey Me, you can now see which characters I think my s/i would be the closest with :D!! I also played a bit with labels ig but I read this fic where Mammon said there was no need "to be anything" as long as we were in peace with each other and I felt that on a spiritual lvl so instead of overthinking how to label f/os sometimes I just put him as unlabeled lol I just love self inserting in his world being really close to him and he's my fav character of the game and all but ig it becomes hard sometimes to try to fit that into something so I said whatever, it's my little self insert world and they can do whatever they want that brings me comfort XD yknow, sometimes partnering concepts just feel off but at the same time I enjoy saying I am a Mammon simp cause I love the character so it's a bit of a mess in my brain sometimes, trying to make both my experience as a player and my s/i's fit for my best comfort

(yes this was another Mammon UR+ I did not get on Nightbringer)

talking about labels, I've decided to put all the Golden Deer as platonic soulmates :D! I think it suits us all and all the unique bonds they form with each other, and I thought that the whole thing of my s/i probably having this huge feeling of admiration and loyalty towards Claude felt better like this somehow, like it's a part of my s/i lore and not so much about what their relationship can be or not? I dont know if this makes sense worded like this but it seems to work out in my head XD I still plan to someday develop my s/i's story a lot so who knows

anyway, FRIENDS AND FAMILY!! I feel like it's pretty obvious that I've started to play Honkai Star Rail because suddenly I got a friend, a brother and a father from there- listen everytime I see the Astral Express Family written in the groupchat I emotionally cry happy tears (also I wouldnt be surprised if i ended up also f/oing Himeko in the future lmao, I love found families can you tell)

from Genshin Impact I've officially added Thoma as a platonic f/o :D!! (my hearts craves to befriend kind characters, yes) I think my Genshin s/i is probably the one with the most lore right now so I'm excited to write about this in the future! well,,,,, actually my Super Mario Bros s/i also has some info around themselves already,,,,,, like would you believe me if I told you I was already making up s/i lore while still watching the movie,,,,, the self-shipper experience huh.....

I love her

and do you know who I also love a lot.....?

those platonic f/os I've been mentioning in some reblogs lately saying I still havent talked about them......?

the dudes that may have taken over my brain recently using the power of friendship....?

yeah

yeah

aren't they the coolest tho

anyway I love them (repeating it as if i hadnt made it clear already) and I had to rewrite part of this cause I accidentally deleted it it so I think I'll finish it here ksdhkjs I believe there is a bit more to see in the carrd though, I'll put it in my pinned post soon :D! now if you'd excuse me imma go consume more hypmic manga as a healing experience, if you've read until here go drink some water, listen to Break The Wall and thank me later

Hehe I just live making silly little characters suffer for my own joy <3

And to answer your questions:

1. I've never really thought about Raphael when i'm masterminding this AU, but i suddenly got like a thousand of ideas about how he could play along in this AU.

Oh em gee what if he was the one who was tasked with cutting / tearing Simeons wings off.. What a brilliant plan!!

2. I was thinking the sharp feathers would just return to normal after the child stopped crying, but now that you've put the feather boa idea in my head, im making it canon >:]

And don't worry about oversharing or adding into it, I literally adore tour ideas and would love to hear anything you've got in mind!

3. Luke would probably be somewhere between the two, even though the child will probably outgrow him LMAO

Here's a few extra facts about the AU!

-Satan is like, the child's best friend. Since y'know, similar birth story..

-The child doesn't age like a human nor an angel, seeing how Luke is still a child but is well into the thousands in birthdays.

-10 human years = 1 year for the child. So while a normal human baby would be 10 after 10 years, the child would only be aging up 1 year physically and mentally!

-The child is going to die before everyone else.

Alright thats all!! Remember to eat, sleep and don't do drugs <33

Sincerely, 💜

Yes! Make them suffer.

That's great. I can imagine how bitter Luke would be about the child being taller than him, and then almost instantly getting over it when the kid offers to get him something off a high shelf with so much joy and excitement about finally being able to help big brother/uncle Luke.

Satan. My heart. I can imagine. He would buy that baby little cat onesies and read to them and do all the things he wished someone had done for him when he was young.

I understand why you would do that with the age, but oof. Very cruel. The idea of a parent having to watch their child die hurts - and poor Simeon doesn't deserve that.

I am glad you don't mind my ideas. I have one more. Okay, so you know how in Nightbringer (the story at the end of lesson 20 - the hard mode so spoilers for that, but) Michael takes on Raphael's form? So what if Raphael was commanded to remove Simeon's wings, but he begs Michael to take his form again to commit this atrocity against their friend? Michael is his superior. A good leader would take on the pain of his subordinate - wouldn't he? Simeon can still blame Raphael; it can look like Raphael did it - he doesn't care about who takes the blame, but he doesn't think he can bring himself to go through with the act. Stripping Simeon of his wings is not the kind of assignment that can afford a trembling hand. It has to be done once with urgency and commitment (especially if there were dire consequences for failure). I don't know, it's just an idea for some extra struggles.

Take care!

yup ! it’s a very simple yet visually pleasing theme <3 .

AND YES NIGHTBRINGER , I PRE REGISTERED THE MOMENT I HEARD IT WAS OPEN && IM SUPER EXCITED FOR THE NEW CONTENT !!

what are your thoughts on it though i’m interested 🤔 ??

I like dark colors tbh! it's really pleasing! <3

I haven't pre-registered yet cause I have to focus on exams sadly! But I'm really excited too!

My thoughts is that I think it will be a cool experience since the MC will be masquerading as a demon attendant to the brothers! I see a lot of people getting scared with Rhythm Games while I'm here who has played three Rhythm games like piano tiles 2, dancing line and rolling sky in the past xD- the 3D models are actually cool and I love the layout of the house of lamentation! overall I am excited to play and hope to see grand admiral levi! ^^
