I'm a bit sad. I have been a long time fan of the Dark Parables games that were developed by Blue Tea Games and Eipix Entertainment and released by Big Fish Games and I just found out that there probably won't be any more. The reason for this is that Blue Tea Games has been inactive since sometime in 2019, which was the year of the release of the 16th, and probably final, game in the series; Dark Parables: Portrait of the Stained Princess. So I checked Eipix Entertainment, ya know, just in case, and it turns out Eipix Entertainment was acquired by Playrix Entertainment that same year and has not released any new games on its own since so now I'm sad. On the bright side, I do have all 16 games and can play them anytime I want but I'm still sad that there probably won't be any new ones because they're so good!!!

I do feel like I should note that from maybe day 1 of playing Dark Parables (and there's a definite chance this was unconscious projecting on my part) I've seen the detective as a trans man. I say unconscious projecting bc I hadn't come to the conclusion of transness yet. I also somehow completely missed that novelization in Briar Rose. so.

Well, okay, well, actually the bonus chapter, which is called "The Curse of Thumbelina"

This time we play as Gerda, our golden girl 🥰

So! It seemed to end well, but no, something went fucked up again: some nightmares with my brother and some micro-girl. What are we doing?? That's right, we're going to deal with it!!!

We found the back door to the castle, and there's stuff lying around, and where's the dyed brother himself? It's not clear. We dig, we dig, we go into the cave, and there, SUDDENLY, Snow White's son is hanging from the ceiling in a spider shibari. What he forgot there is not clear, he says, just went for a walk and well… stuck beautifully))

What about Gerda? Nothing, she unraveled it, they went to find out what happened, they found a micro-bead. And she turns out to be the same one! She's either a girl or a thing! Wow! So what is this? A dream come true? Holy shit!

Okay, this little girl said she doesn't remember a damn thing, she knows Kai is gone and she's being eaten by flying monkeys (literally). Sow, me and my mom's friend's son promised to protect her-- -fucked up the little girl in a second good for us))

We went bushwalking and found our painted brothel boy, Kai. This fool decided to shrink down to the size of Thumbelina (a botanist who brews potions - woe in the family).

Gradually we learn that it turns out that Thumbelina is not Thumbelina at all, but the entire GODDESS OF HARMONY (no, not Celestia, but I wanted to (9(( ), and she was cursed by Gothel. How did that happen? Well, she just poured tea on her, poisoned her, insulted her well, and now the world is in decline, and the Goddess is depressed at zero years old, and her HP is reduced.

Anyway, somehow we found our micro-goddess, they tried to drag her into a portal to the world of the dead, but MOMMY'S FRIEND'S SON SHOOT ACCURATELY, the portal doesn't work, the little girl is saved, everything's fucking fine ✌✨

We took her to the throne, she remembered everything, "from the heart to the soul, thank you, I went to recover, because it is not good to be a micro-girl, it is not authoritative it turns out"

Just wondering, how would you rank the Dark Parables games from least favorite to most favorite?

Ooooo okay so these are going to be ranked by story, mechanics, designs and just how much I love them!

Least Favorite- Most Favorite

15. The Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide: I feel like this is not a surprise given my rants. Bad story. Bad mechanics.

14. The Thief and the Tinderbox: Again I feel like this isn't a surprise. Bad story. Bad continuity. Bad designs.... but! The mechanics were not bad.

13. Queen of Sands: it felt off in a way. Like it didn't belong in the series. Mechanics okay. Designs/art decent. Bad story.

12. Return of the Salt Princess: nothing wrong with the mechanics or designs or anything. I liked the story somewhat, it just overall isn't a favorite.

11. Portrait of the Stained Princess: it was alright, I liked the art and such. I just felt like it could have been more. Story wise, I mean. I don't know. It didn't engage me as much as others.

10. The Swan Princess and the Dire Tree: it's sad because I'm a sucker for swan princess things whether it be the Swan Lake ballet, the barbie movie or the Don bluth ones (only the first and second ones though) and I was excited for this game but it ultimately hadn't been something I expected but I did enjoy it a bit. Though again, continuity threw me off since there was barely any.

9. The Red Riding Hood Sisters: I do like this one, but not as much as others. I liked the concept, the designs, the mechanics, and the story somewhat. I just wish I could have been more engaged in it.

8. Exiled Prince: Look, I like it a lot, it is arguably one of the most iconic games in the series but the mechanics are what put it here. It had a wonderful story and everything it was just those mechanics that hung me up.

7. Curse of Briar Rose: another one I really love, but those mechanics just hurt. If they remade it it would definitely ranked higher.

6. The Match Girl's Lost Paradise: such a fun story!! It was so interesting and I really liked it and was very engaged!

5. Goldilocks and the Fallen Star: fun game! Engaging! Also, bonus for Jack, just not a top five fav.

4. Rise of the Snow Queen: Snow White is one of my favorite fairy tales, and the fact they merged it with the Snow Queen story had me elated! I loved it! I was so engaged!

3. Jack and the Sky Kingdom: Has some of my favorite characters of the series! Had an engaging storyline! The mechanics were great! And the puzzles were fun.

2. Ballad of Rapunzel: SO fun! So interesting! So much lore given, and I love lore! It was unique with its endings. Overall a very great game!

1. The Final Cinderella: I am biased. Very biased. Cinderella is my favorite fairy tale. I have so many different versions of it. I have watched everything Cinderella or so I'm convinced. The story was so fun and engaging and the art! Oh man the art! And I cared for all the characters!

Post 5 songs associated with your OC, followed by 3 outfits they would wear

tagged by @arendaes, thank you! I got hit by waves of exhaustion so it took me a minute, but here's one for my dnd character Aurora!

Her's is the easiest for me to find varying styles but consistent themeing for that won't just lead to the same outfit just slightly to the left haha. Some of her songs I've likely used before, but I tend not to have extensive playlists for my ocs.

Songs:

-Belladonna, from Ballad of Rapunzel : Dark Parables

-Journey to the Past, from Anastasia on Broadway

-Midsummer's Eve, by Kamelot featuring Tina Guo

-Long, Long Time Ago, from Pan's Labyrinth

-Enchanted Lake, from the ballet Swan Lake

Outfits:
