Mirae disbanding truly seems to be their companies fault like their music was hit or miss like most bgs of their time but that group should’ve been easy to promote enough to gain a stable fanbase and they had all of the ingredients to last a while like why did bae173 of all groups surpass them 😭

Dreamspinner says they are doing lesbian and trans love stories now? Dreamspinner... the place where, when I said, "hey maybe you shouldn't be listing "trans characters" alongside "murder" and "bestiality" on lists of "Warnings for editors" and they responded by implying I was stupid? Dreamspinner, the place where editors were INCREDIBLY uncomfortable any time I so much as hinted a bi male character desired women? Dreamspinner, where I got SUCH pushback for using "they" for Violet? That Dreamspinner?

But hey they might have changed. They did just send me money for some reason.

(For what, I have no idea. The only things of mine they still have the rights to are translations that they don't even have up for sale anywhere that I can find, and the royalty information they send me every month makes no goddamn sense and hasn't for three years. Most former DSP authors assumed that was deliberate to confuse them. Shady mfers. So then this must be money they owed me from three or four years ago? Then what do their monthly statements (which do not mention this money) even mean????? *screams*)

2. Look at YoonA’s latest projects line-up, everything is going well for her ㅋㅋㅋ 7. All are doing really wellㅋㅋ 8. I thought YoonA wasn’t good at acting when she was Saebyuk (in her first lead drama ‘You Are My Destiny’) but these days her acting is really good. Not just as an acting idol, but she's just good at it (acting). ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I thought IU was good since the drama ‘Pretty Man’ that starred Jang Geunsuk, and for Suzy, Anna, is the best... 9. I watched YoonA well in ‘King The Land’ ㅋㅋ ​​She was a perfect fit ㅋㅋ 11. What? These are all the people I like!!!!! Everyone is pretty and their acting is great. By the way, Yoona's recent works are crazy, they're all successful ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 12. YoonA was so cute in ‘King The Land’ and her acting is so good ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 13. I watched all three of YoonA's latest projects. They were all good. So good. ㅋㅋㅋㅋShe is soaring especially in ‘King The Land’. 15. YoonA is also good at acting and is building up her filmography well. 16. Wow, just look at YoonA’s recent works ㅋㅋ 17. YoonA is really good at comical acting

19. YoonA, you acted so well, so natural ㅋㅋㅋ I'm looking forward to your next work. 20. I’m convinced (I agree) ㅋㅋㅋㅋEveryone's acting is good, and YoonA's batting score (percentage of her success rate) is especially good lately. 22. Wow, it looks like there aren't any (i)dols to remove (meaning OP agrees with all on the list). But it is surprising that Jung Eunji and Sooyoung aren't here.. I guess it's because there are a lot of female idols who are good at acting. 26. YoonA acted so well in ‘King the Land’ㅋㅋㅋ 27. Wow, 1st place for both men and women are ‘King The Land’ male and female leads ㅋㅋㅋ 28. It's freaking that both YoonA’s dramas and movies did well. The line-up of her recent works is insane ㅋㅋㅋ 30. YoonA’s latest works line-up are insaneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 31. Yoona’s career is insaneㅋㅋ 32. It’s the same with male idol rankings, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places are the ones that always come up when acting idols are mentioned ㅇㅇ 33. YoonA's works line-up is insane 34. I really enjoyed watching Yoong’s ‘King The Land’, it’s my life drama ㅠ 35. Only the people who should have been chosen were chosen. 36. Nodding (in approval) ㅋㅋ 39. Oh, there are all these people who I thought they were good ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 40. They all act well... 41. Agreed 42. They are all good at acting and pretty 44. Her latest work ‘King The Land’, ‘Big Mouth’, ‘Confidential Assignment’ shivering (because of the awesome line-up) 45. YoonA's acting was really good in ‘King The Land’. She was just like Cheon Sarang herself👍 47. It feels like the differences in acting skills among the actresses aren't that big. The 5 people seem to be famous enough to be in the top 5 in terms of influence and reputation. 48. Do well, everyone 49. YoonA is really good 50. I acknowledged 51. They are all well-known faces. 52. I saw YoonA for the first time through ‘King The Land’ and she was really good. 57. YoonA was really good in ‘King The Land’. 63. I clicked in the article shouting ‘YoonA’ 65. Lim Yoona's latest work is insane...;; 68. These are all people I like 69. The votes are more evenly distributed here, so the difference in votes is not that big... The male idols were overwhelming. 71. I came in thinking YoonA would be here, but she ended up in first place ㅋㅋㅋ. 72. (Comment deleted at time of translation) 74. YoonA's acting in ‘The K2’, IU’s in ‘My Mister’, and Suzy's in ‘Anna’ were really, really good. I'm curious about the acting of this three people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. 76. But this was released yesterday morning and suddenly both articles (male and female) came out as ‘hot’ topics. 79. To be honest, I was sad because I thought YoonA's (drama) filmography was bad, but these days, everything is really good.. ㅜㅜ And the movie filmography is good too. 80. I acknowledge everyone in this article, but it's a shame that Jung Eunji, Han Sunhwa and Sooyoung weren’t included. I really enjoyed Sooyoung's ‘Not Others’. 85. YoonA seems to choose her works well. 88. (Comment deleted at time of translation)

90. Lim Yoona’s form is crazy!!!!!!! 92. (replied to 69th comment) Oh, it looks like they got votes from all over. Female acting idols are also good at acting. 94. Oh, they are all good actors ㅋㅋㅋI also liked Jung Eunji, Sooyoung and Sojin ㅋㅋ 100. YoonA, IU and Suzy's singing and acting careers are all top notch 101. I acknowledged all of them 105. I thought about Bona, but the acting idols in the article are all very good 106. I also thought about YoonA's ‘EXIT’, but it is not her most recent work. 107. I enjoyed everything YoonA has released recently. 108. I came in the article thinking of YoonA. 109. YoonA❤️ I like her very much 112. King-jeong (t/l note: It is a slang to of 킹 (king)+ 인정 (agreed), to describe being full agreement of something) 113. I approved 115. YoonA’s recent career seems really good 117. Approved approved. 119. YoonA and IU, king-jeong. I want to watch Suzy’s drama, why isn’t it coming out yet? 120. We selected the acting idols who showed the greatest success this year and who we are looking forward to in the future. ----------------------- This is the survey topic. 121. I think YoonA’s career is so good 122. I heard about ‘King The Land’ being a huge hit on Netflix and ‘Big Mouth’ also did well, hence it is a back-to-back hit. 125. I acknowledged it 127. (replied to 120th comment) It is in the text ㅋㅋ 128. As expected, YoonA! 129. Ah, YoonA’s acting is good. 130. I acknowledge all of them 131. Approved 132. Ah, I approved of everyone listed here 133. YoonA is good 134. YoonA seems to be in good form these days. Personally, I think Suzy’s ‘Anna’ was the best ever, so I hope Suzy do another such genreㅠㅠ 135. Good 136. Approved 137. I acknowledged everyone listed here, there are people who I am disappointed that they are not on the list, but there is also no one in the list that I objected too. 138. YoonA’s filmography is good. All her works are very good, and she acts very well too. 140. Everyone's form is good, but the acting skills of the female idols are ambiguous. 141. I like YoonA so much 143. (Replied to 140th comment) What?;; As expected, all the malicious commenters are like sh*t. All the 5 females here have a besting acting of their life for at least once, so what are you talking about? 144. Yes 147. IU and Nana are good. No, all the 5 people listed here are goodㅋㅋㅋ 148. For the female acting idols, the votes are considered more evenly distributed. 149. (Replied to 140th comment) ? 152. I’m looking forward to YoonA’s movies and dramas doing well. I’m also curious about the ‘2 O’clock Date’! 153. I agreed with all listed in the article, Nana’s acting is really good. 156. I like Lim YoonA to the point of dying ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 157. King-jeong 158. YoonA is good. I thought her acting was good after watching her works recently 160. YoonA is so likeable these days. I've seen all of her recent works. Now, she is a ‘trust and treasure’ actress.

161. Wow, all of them are K-pop talent. 163.The 1st place for both male and female are Junho and YoonA, ‘King The Land’ couple is really good ㅠㅠ I hope they both do better. The chemistry was good, and their acting was good in ‘King The Land’ 167. King-jeong to all on the list

168. Wow, 1st place is YoonA, congrats congrats!! 169. The movies and dramas YoonA starred in, all received great success, so amazing 171. I clicked in the article shouting YoonA ㅋㅋㅋㅋI hope things go smoothly~ 175. YoonA deserves the 1st place. Her drama and movie careers are all good. 176. Regardless of her career, Yoona really showed off her acting chops with her ‘Confidential Assignment’ and ‘EXIT’, and she did well in King the Land as well. Nana and Kim Sejeong are rather unexpected, and I think Han Sunhwa or Jung Eunji are better. 178. All of them have improved a lot in their acting so it’s even better 180. I feel like all the idols mentioned in the original text and Sooyoung and Eunji are good at acting. 185. YoonA 189. YoonA has a good way of choosing projects ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 191. These are the actors who were active 'this year', but it seems like it includes only those who can be included... YoonA did well in ‘King The Land, and IU and Suzy are the queens of immense popularity who respond right away in surveys like this even if they didn't have any hit films or activities this year. (Just like stars who are ranked even if they are inactive that year when Gallup selects the best OO of the year...) Nana becomes popular because of ‘Mask Girl’ recently. 193. YoonA! 194. Even though Nana is really good, I recognize all 5 people there. 196. (Comment deleted at time of translation) 197. YoonA was such a perfect fit for ‘King The Land’ this time, so pretty 198. I'm waiting for YoonA's next work 200. YoonA! 201. Acknowledged acknowledged 204. I agreed with all the line-up here 205. Waiting for YoonA's next work 208. Line-up approved... 209. No, initially I thought how could Sejeong be in 5th place only, but as I scrolled lower (to reveal the top 4), the more I understood. 212. I only saw YoonA's works for a few seconds in passing, so I had the prejudice that I couldn't get into the character because I heard YoonA's voice that I used to hear.. I recently watched Exit belatedly and was so surprised that it turns out okay. I finally understand why her movies are so successful and how she gets casted so consistently. 214. YoonA is good! Han Sunhwa too!! 215. YoonA is really good 216. Even though I’m not a fan of all five of them, I acknowledged. 217. Oh.. everyone who are good are gathered here 218. Soshi is YoonA, but I was also surprised that Sooyoung was better at acting than I thoughtㅋㅋ 219. ‘King The Land’ influence is huge. Both sides (male and female) came in first place 220. YoonA is really good ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I watched ‘Big Mouth’ and ‘King The Land’ recently, and she did well in both dramas. YoonA would be a perfect match for a little bit of ‘Big Mouth’ – ‘King the Land’ – ‘EXIT’, a bright, cheerful, confident and u undaunted not in a villain way character 221. The experts voted but there are people here trying to start a fight so ridiculousㅋ What is it? ㅋㅋㅋ 224. They are all good 225. YoonA’s latest line-up projects are really awesome ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

226, Everyone are gathered here, they are all good 227. Oh, YoonA approved 229. Really, YoonA is really good. I think she has star quality, good screen control, and acting skills. 231. If its YoonA, its king-jeong. 232. YoonA is building up her filmography for movies and dramas well. Her acting in ‘Confidential Assignment’, ‘Big Mouth’, ‘King the Land’ were really good. I admit her acting in ‘Miracle’ was also really good. 233. (Replied to 232nd comment) All same as you and ‘EXIT’ too!! 235. Oh my, YoonA's acting was really good. 236. YoonA, approved 238. Agreed 239. YoonA, approved approved 240. YoonA, approved 241. YoonA, I really enjoyed ‘King The Land’. So lovely ㅠ 243. Hehehe YoonA>< 244. All are good 245. Acknowledged 246. YoonA, approved 248. YoonA, approved 249. Oh, they are all good. And popular too. 258. Even if there are people who should be added in, but there aren’t people that should be removed. I went ‘King-jeong King-jeong’ while scrolling down the list. 259. I watched every project of YoonA that comes out after ‘EXIT’. Really, she is good at acting in both movies and dramas. 260. Agreed 261. It's a shame that YoonA keeps getting underestimated because of the disgusting keyboard warriors. 263. I clicked in thinking of YoonA. 264. Didn’t YoonA filmed a drama in the early days of her debut, she did really well in that too. 265. Agreed, YoonA and Suzy are good at acting 266. YoonA and Suzy are both good at acting 267. Agreed 268. YoonA did really well 269. Agreed for all 270. When will YoonA's next work come out ㅠㅠ I want to see it soon 271. YoonA has become someone that can be trust and treasure (to watch). I am waiting for her next work.

Um, guys…

…I dug up another old art from DSP on Ice Scream, only it also features Reina (for some reason).

Is there anyone who speaks good on Japanese well? Can someone translate this?

wtf is a towelket

Anon you shouldn't have asked this question.

Towelket is a story based RPGmaker game series that originally came out in 2009. Each game is more or less self contained with the characters being more like actors that play specific roles depending on whatever the story calls for. Though there are some callbacks to previous games every now and then.

They're kind of ahead of their time considering most rpg maker games during that era were more focused on puzzle solving rather than storylines and characters. I would go as far to say they inspired the DSP games in some aspects.

The games are kind of jank, especially by today's standards where we have rpg maker games being produced by small teams rather than just one person with a working computer.

The stories are probably not what most would consider a masterpiece. A lot of things happen just because and the subject matter and humor mixed with the cutesy art might be a turn off to some people. For some it might be difficult to see where the jokes end and when the seriousness starts due to the fact that the characters often have one expression.

But these games are just so uniquely themselves I can't help but find them endearing and enjoyable to play.

Most of the games are free and you can download the ones that are English translated here. (Content warnings are under the read more!!!)

Content Warnings: Child sexual abuse. Sexual abuse in general. Human trafficking. Trauma themes. Gore. Infant death. Birth.

If any of these make you uncomfortable in the slightest I do not suggest playing any of these games. While nothing is shown graphically as there are no CGs still keep these warnings in mind as the dialogue itself can get very explicit at times.

[REPOST] KARA - another side to the story

*//OneHallyu will be closing end of 2023 so I just need to archive this here. Original OneHallyu date of post September 8, 2013 by ultraman88: https://onehallyu.com/topic/21763-kara-another-side-to-the-story/

This is a translation of a post done by a K-Kamilia. Her Naver Blog is called "Infinite-dol and Growth-dol (Kara)"

She is a fan of both Infinite and Kara. She knows a lot about fandom stuff.   Here is the link to the post:  http://blog.naver.co...12345/194687267   Here is the screen shot of the post (the blog is right-click disabled).  (she posted on 9/7/2013)   My translation is below the image.   She is mostly talking to the Elves, who are going bat nut over this Kyuhun thing.

You can believe this or not. It's up to you. But, this is from a person who knows more and better than most of all you foreign fans out there.

And I don't work for DSP.

Translation begins: I’ve been feeling really awful since last night. I am writing this because I was just going to ignore it at first but felt I had to clear the misunderstanding.   Please watch the video clip that is causing the problem.

Some people are saying that at the 4 minute mark Seungyeon is saying let’s got out, how unlucky, and how annoying and such. (In Korea, to say they are unlucky and how annoying in front of the senior is reallllly rude. Although, to say unlucky is the same [same words] in Korean, it’s the connotation and situation that matters and to say it in front of them in this situation would be like a total rudeness, including ‘how annoying’.) I’ve listened to it over and over but I don’t hear it.  I don’t hear her saying ‘unlucky’ but I hear let’s go out and clean your face. And I can’t understand where you are hearing ‘how annoying’. I agree that KARA may have made a mistake on RS but the way people are accusing them as if Kara committed a murder or something is totally out of line. It is absolutely unbecoming.   And they even issued an apology but you guys keep at it. They are sorry but I think the Elves with no right mind are much worse. I was not going to say this, but I’ve decided to write this after a much thought.   I have an acquaintance who works as a staff on the show Radio Star. When I was talking to the staff, subject of Kara incident came up. Per the staff, this is not Kyuhyun’s fault and much of this incident’s fault lies with the show staffs.   The staff stated, DSP refused many times when we were trying to get them on the show RS because they knew that the obvious dating issue of Hara would be brought up.   However, RS promised that they would not bring up the dating rumors, and DSP said that they will have KARA on the show but you must promise not to bring up the dating issue.   And during the pre-taping interviews, the Kara member insisted many times NOT to talk about the dating rumors. The staffs indicated that they understood but during the actual taping, they talked about the dating story/rumor for almost 40 minutes.   The members just acted cool about it when it first came up, but the members became much more flustered and panicked when the dating rumor talks got more intense and pointed, and it lasted and lasted.   Therefore, the emotions of all came at once and they started crying. And, Hara did not throw the water bottle but it was rolled.   What Seungyeon said about ‘we hear the stories as well’ is NOT what that they hear stories of SuJu dating rumors at all, but that Kara members also hear the mean comments and dating rumor related stories about Hara.   Furthermore, about Jiyoung, Jiyoung cried due to many other reasons.   After sudden breakdown of Hara, it was an extremely awkward moment considering the atmosphere when they asked her to do Aegyo. Plus Jiyoung got flustered when they all of sudden asked her to do aegyo when they were talking Hara’s rumors.   And, it seems to be edited out but Kim, Gura pressured Jiyoung with scary and harsher speech.  Jiyoung got upset and emotional because she got flustered at the moment. It was first for her to see him act angry way (somewhat). But, most important thing is that after that incident, she apologize on the show and even after the show she apologized again to all the MC’s. I don’t understand why people are all after Jiyoung when she even apologized on the show.   Furthermore, I was told by my staff friend that after the taping and once the show was broadcasted, one of the staffs of RS and Kyuhyun were exchanging some texts. That is, my friend’s colleague was sending texts to Kyuhyun and while exchanging some words, the issue of Kara’s attitude on the show.

Kyuhyun said that he watched the broadcast as well. He also felt that the viewers may have felt somewhat disappointed and annoyed; however, from his point of view, Kara is one of the most respecting and polite idols out there. And he also accepted the incident as a joke and all but he is feeling quite frustrated and concerned that the hoobaes that he cares about are getting this kind of hate for just one incident. He said that he felt multiple instances to write about (on SNS) how KARA girls are the most polite and nice girls but felt that that might cause more problems for the girls. So, he decided not to write it.   The girls are so polite that they would bring drinks to their seniors in waiting rooms, concerned that they might be thirsty, so even all of SuJu members are flustered with this situation.   Plus, on the day when this whole issue blew up, Sungyeon and Jiyoung called him again to apologize; however, when he sees this situation, he is quite worried that KARA might become afraid of variety shows in the future.   *My acquaintance staff asked the other colleagues what did Seungyeon say when she was comforting Hara after she cried. They indicated Seungyoen said, “let’s go out, go clean up your face”. And she was going to turn around and ask the show staffs nearby to ask if it was okay to go to the restroom but one of the staffs brought some tissue papers. So, they didn’t go to the restroom.   This is all I heard from the staff.   I admit that KARA made some mistakes on the show. They will have to reflect on it. However, I think it is totally wrong to criticize the girls as if they committed a murder or something. People make mistakes. Idols are people so they also make mistakes. Didn’t Shindong even praise Jiyoung the last time? No, when you see how KARA treats their fans, they did not forget their early days. Why would an idol group that forgets their early days hand out a pack of Dunkin Donuts to each of several hundred people, buy ice cream, give lunch packs?   It could be that their conditions were not the most optimal that day. But most of all, I don’t feel that they deserve to be getting so much hate like this when they all apologized toward the end of the show.   As I stated above, Seungyeon apologized to Kyuhyun, and even Nicole and Gyuri took up responsibility and apologized as well. As a fan of Kara, I feel awful to be witnessing them this kind treatment as if they are impolite girls when they are the nicest ones.   It is appreciative to point out someone’s mistake; however, if too much, it can become poison. If you all act so emotional wouldn’t the SuJu members feel worse when all of SuJu members think of Kara as very good hoobaes? Both Yoon, Jong-shin and Kim, Tae-hee PD said the taping was finished well. It is totally unnecessary to send this kind of overwhelming criticisms like this.

Thank you for hearing what I had to say.

[lunariamv]

about me :>

so i just realized i cant just be some random person posting stuff without much context..... so here we go

┊⠀┊   ┊⠀┊

┊ ˚➶ ｡˚     ✧

˚✧

hi, my name is lunaria, or luna ^^

˚✧ some grill that wants to be a artist, writer, and maybe like a lowkey game dev

˚✧ i consume a lot of media: video games, anime, yt, movies, tv shows, books, fanfics, etc

˚✧ i really love the impact media and stories have on the world and people, and there's a lot i love, but also there's a lot out there that frustrates me, or feels like it's missing something, so i wanna throw my hat into the ring and make my own content for me and other girls like me <3

˚✧ atm i write fanfics to practice writing and build an audience, and i draw fanart to improve art skill, also just so i have an art portfolio,,,, cuz if i just started posting games without much of a background i feel like ppl are gonna be like,, "who tf is this???" lol

⊹˚. game dev??? ⊹˚.

i'm really interested in making my own games, specifically rpg maker ones because rpg maker/rpg horror/indie horror is my fav genre (pewdiepie's misao gameplay was my first horror game ever <3); i just love retro horror style a lot

so i'm practicing pixel art and stuff and then later i want to learn some 日本語 so i can translate the games, and also learn to make music so i can go full toby fox lol

and then maybe later on if i got rlly ambitious and had a lot of money id make fancy otome games, manga, fancy horror games, and pERSONA FOR GIRLS

i have a lot of ideas for diff series and id love to share them all <3

⊹˚. my inspirations: ⊹˚.

˚✧ game wise: currently my inspirations are charon (of those yan charon games) and dsp (ik they go by a different name now but that's what i know them as, also its funny because the name reminds me of darksydephil HAHAHA); i like the retro pixel and slight horror themes and aesthetic of their games, but i dislike the writing, so i'm gonna make my own :D

also i like the idea of an oc multiverse like dsp's so i want that too

toby fox is also technically an inspiration too; i wanna learn music so i can make my own bangers with little references and leitmotifs for fun :>>>

˚✧ writing wise: i have a lot, but my main inspirations are mostly like writing in the anime-ish games; danganronpa, persona, ace attorney, yttd, kakegurui; psychological stuff where you gotta think about them, but they also have unique quirky characters and they interact with each other in creative ways

also horror and psychological, i like writing about scary stuff and characters with their complexities, and addressing the rlly messed up parts of humanity and society bc its spooky;; sometimes with a very dark nihilistic outlook bc i love angst, or sometimes with an optimistic one

((thats kinda why i like yan stories but more in the horror sense, like look at all the crazy scary stuff this person is doing lol))

but for characters in general, i like stuff with FEMCS <33333 persona 3 with ya girl kotone shiomi, danganronpa v3 with kaede, sara in your turn to die, genshin lumine, and that one part in ace attorney where we get to play as mia fey

that's also why i lowkey like the writing in romcom/chick flick movies, cuz its just unique characters and stories and usually has a female protag or a group of girls as the mcs

LIKE MISS CONGENIALITY, MEAN GIRLS, AND LEGALLY BLONDE I LOVE THOSE MOVIES SM AND I HAVE MILLIONS MORE EXAMPLES BUT WE'D BE HERE FOREVER

but aside from heavy and horror stories, i also like simple cute straightforward stories like older barbie movies XD (or winx, mlp, bratz, monster high…); they're just really wholesome and cute where ya girl goes on a magical adventure with quirky characters and learns good lessons like trust, courage, friendship, etc…

ITS MUSHY BUT I LOVE IT AAAAA

so my main theme is being a girl and doing stuff, bc girlbossing is fun

but ya know i like making hot guy characters too wwwww

⊹˚. my art/writing style ⊹˚.

i'd say in general its like a mix of asian themes with western; its like anime but with western elements in it

i'd also sometimes like to explore other cultures too, kinda like how jjba has varying characters bc that's cool;; but if i have characters with varying nationalities its because i want to, not bc a woke person held me at gunpoint

⊹˚. aesthetics ⊹˚.

i have a lot that i like, but here's my main favorites i guess that will be in my things

Sincerely love that DSP keeps sending me royalty and sales statements, allegedly for the translated title they still have the rights to. Dancing Lessons in French and Italian. And yet the royalty statements include The Firebird and Other Stories, for some reason, with a *negative balance* of $2.70, as if they think I owe them money. And then the total amount I am owed for Dancing Lessons, in Italian and French is like... $17. Which means it costs them more to pay a company to send this information to me every month than to just... give me the rights back. I don't expect to see the $17. I would *love* them to try to say I owe them money for The Firebird. And I am waiting out the clock on the translated titles to ask for the rights back, if DSP lasts that long.

WATGBS AU: Summary - Part 1

I decided to make a summary post for our WATGBS AU! I’ll post the rest tomorrow! I’m very passionate about my and my friends’ WATGBS AU!

Main game screen of Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea AKA WATGBS (大海原と大海原, Oounabara to Wadanohara), a pixel RPG Maker “horror” game

The main protagonist is Wadanohara, the sea witch

What is WATGBS?

WATGBS stands for Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea. It's a pixel RPG Maker game with some horror elements (so some call it an RPG Maker horror), created by Funa (Funamusea) or DSP (Deep Sea Prisoner), which got an English translation by vgperson, who also translated many other RPG Maker pixel games and Vocaloid songs.

The original WATGBS has many TW/CWs, please be cautious. Funa’s works are all riddled with major issues, very insensitive and distasteful about the sensitive topics it handles, and framed extremely poorly as well

At first, in the first half of the game, WATGBS is just simple and cute. The protagonist, Wadanohara, who is the Sea Witch, just goes around restoring the Blue Sea Kingdom's barriers and it introduces some secondary and minor charas. It's just silly fun. But then the game suddenly jumpsprings tons of lengthy, unecessary gross shit in the 2nd half.

WATGBS could've been remembered as a cute sea animal game with the blue sea witch girl (and some lore with it). Instead, Funa's works are all so infamous for the gross bad endings and lore, and the fucking characters who are pieces of shit. It's a lot of wasted potential, which is sad, since some of the designs and settings are cute.

A colour edit I made of Wadanohara to match closer to what I imagined for our WATGBS AU

What is the WATGBS AU?

The WATGBS AU is an AU between me and my friends! We all contribute to it whenever we have time to draw and write for it.

After that, my friends and I have separated and distanced our WATGBS AU far enough that our AU stories and characters have nothing to do with the original at this point.

The WATGBS AU is literally just (Yoinks characters and the settings, makes an original story)

The WATGBS AU is centered around Idate, a demon orca man who is the protagonist of our WATGBS AU instead. It also focuses heavily on IdaTatsu (Idate/Tatsumiya), and the platonic familial dynamic between the orca brothers, Idate and his older twin brother, Takama. 

We heavily revamped the characters' designs and writing, and we also created a lot of original OCs for it too.

Our WATGBS AU’s Idate, the Lord of Space, Lord of the Underworld and “Star Eater” 

He’s a Grand Demon!

I’ll talk more on that in a later post! :)

Our WATGBS AU’s Takama, the Lord of Time

He was designed by my friend Snow (@/snowolf-69) on Tumblr and @/snowdodoko on Instagram

He’s a Grand Demon! He’s also Idate’s older twin brother

(I need to redraw this Takama and draw him more in general omg)

Our WATGBS AU’s Tatsumiya, the Lord of Creation 

She’s the Grand Sorcerer of the Blue Sea Kingdom! She’s also Idate’s gf/lover and eventual wifey uvu <3

She’s also my wifey wife wife <3 

(I need to redraw the chibi Idate omg... They’re so cute tho)

Screenshots of the original WATGBS from vgperson’s site hosting the EN fan-TL for WATGBS 

How did it start?

I originally played WATGBS back when I was a young kid. I was always suspicious of the way Funa portrayed certain sensitive themes in her work and the questionable story elements (even back then). But when I came back to replay the game as an adult, I had a lot more self-awareness. So I became very critical of the creator, Funa, and her content.

Ok so, I got into Idate stanning in December 2021, and when my friends first became aware of WATGBS (or started playing the game) in March 2022, we started making a WATGBS AU focused around our faves. It's a revamp/fix-it AU.

We threw out everything gross Funa included in WATGBS. Easy fixes. As we wrote, our AU completely diverged from the OG WATGBS, so it's more like we're telling our original story with the characters now.

I've been invested in our WATGBS AU and versions of the characters since then, and I genuinely adore and cherish all the ideas that everyone comes up with <3

Basically this whole WATGBS AU started when I got obsessed with Idate and IdaTatsu and my friends first found out about WATGBS

Colour edit I made of IdaTatsu (Idate/Tatsumiya) 

Important Disclaimer:

Since I draw and write a lot of WATGBS AU related stuffs, I feel like this is an important post to make.

I do not support, nor do I condone anything that the creator, Funa (Funamusea) or DSP (Deep Sea Prisoner), perpetuates in her works. I'm very critical of both the creator and her content. 

I'm extremely uncomfortable with the way she deals with serious subjects presented in many of her games, mangas, character stories, lore, and universe of OCs. 

I feel like it's worth informing that Funamusea is a pretty bad person, and to please steer far away from the rest of Funa's works if you're uncomfortable with fetishy depictions of heavily sensitive themes. Funa's portrayal of sensitive topics is extremely distasteful.

I don’t stand for creepy garbage and degenerate content, let’s make that very clear

The rest will be under the cut as usual~ 

What is your WATGBS AU about?

I'll try my best!!! Here's a "summary" write up. Feel free to read, only if you're curious. Our WATGBS AU is very important and personal to me, so I'm always excited to talk about it :)  

Idate colour edit I made uvu 

My meow meow mf homicidal oreorcat demon man!!! 

Tatsumiya colour edit I made uvu 

My wife!!!

WATGBS AU SUMMARY: INTRO

It's a WATGBS AU between me and a couple of friends! It has nothing to do with the original WATGBS, it's just us writing our own stories with the characters instead. We made up our own lore and completely revamped the characters' writing and designs.

Our AU focuses a lot on Idate, who is the evil protagonist of our AU. It's very IdaTatsu (Idate/Tatsumiya) centric. Demon orca DILF and magical oarfish MILF

It's also orca brothers/twins centric. It focuses a lot on the platonic familial dynamic between Idate and his older brother, Takama.

And we have our own OCs we created for it too, like our IdaTatsu fankids, Rumia and Shion, as well as our Red Sea and Blue Sea Kingdom ruler OCs, Algol and Lucinda

The basic plot (generally speaking) is about the conflict between the Red Sea and Blue Sea. There's also tons of orca family fluff and backstory angst

WATGBS AU SUMMARY: MESSAGES/THEMES

Our AU's main focuses are like: Angst and fluff. Hurt and comfort and family bonding with the orca family. Romantic attraction, meet cutes, soulmates/fateful encounters and domestic fluff with IdaTatsu

It's just good writing when protagonists (and charas in general) have characters learn from them, and also actively learn from others too.

Even with Idate's setup as a chaotic evil meow meow protagonist in our AU, he still learns things from others, and others learn things from him.

IdaTatsu both benefits and grows from their relationship greatly. The same goes for Idate and Takama's brotherly love/familial dynamic, and every character that Idate grows to love and treat as family. I love everyone's growth.

Despite all the angst that happens in our major angst/backstory arcs, I'd say our AU's main focuses are on growth and development, and allowing these characters a space/setting where they can grow and develop. Everyone comes out of their relationships having grown to become a better, healthier to themselves, person.

I think the main messages are the characters learning to be better people via each other, and the mutual cycle of learning from others (These wonderful messages/themes are inspired from Magi's writing. Magi has excellent character writing, themes, and worldbuilding :) So it gives me a lot of inspiration while writing our WATGBS AU! Also Douman (FGO) is a major inspiration for how Idate is written in our AU. I’d say Douman (FGO) and Magi are my biggest writing inspirations for our AU.)

I call the WATGBS AU characters our OCs lovingy, but we also created a bunch of original OCs for our AU too.

WATGBS AU: IDATE

Idate actually has traits in common with all my top main faves: Hibari (KHR), Douman (FGO), Xanxus (KHR), Judar (Magi). So he's very important and personal to me, and I treat him just like one of my OCs :)

Idate is like if Douman and Judar were put into a single skrunkly. Out of my faves, he has the most traits from both of them. Cuz he's a smiley murderous (^-^) sen-core meow meow mf, a violent smug bastard cat type with emotional issues and a black/white colour scheme :) My fave character type!

I’ll talk more about him in my post tomorrow ^v^ I adore him. He’s one of my sons hehe

CRITICISM OF THE CREATOR AND OG SOURCE MATERIAL

I remember someone made a tweet before like, "If you enjoy some characters but think the source material and/or creator is messed up, you should just take the characters and do your own thing."

You can always criticize Funa and her works and "steal" the characters away from her to take them for yourself, it's always morally correct. Fixing Funa's characters and stories is just morally correct at that point, especially since she's a public indie JRPG creator with such a notorious reputation. I think it's worth pointing out issues with bad public creators and bringing attention and awareness to it (at least within contained spaces)

My friends and I enjoy a couple of the WATGBS characters, but I think both the creator, Funa, and tons of things in her source material are really gross and fucked up. So we just "stole" our faves. Our OCs now. We've been writing and drawing the characters the way we want. No one's going to stop us. Stealy time against bad public creators. Operation: successful

We "stole" Idate and other WATGBS charas (only the ones we like enough to fix) to redesign, revamp and rewrite for our own purposes, and my friends and I are writing our own stories for them. They're our rehomed cat cots. "Steal" as in, we're using them for our own purposes and not paying attention to the original source material anymore

WATGBS AU: OTHER 

The WATGBS AU is literally just us running with the characters as our rehomed cat cot OCs. We just used basic names, settings, and/or character basics to make an original story

I call Idate and the others our OCs, cuz if at least 95% of the lore and characterization we added to the charas are ours, they're bsaically OCs at that point. The WATGBS AU is what happens when you and your friends blorbo so hard the characters are all basically your OCs now. Everytime I talk about the charas, I refer to our revamped WATGBS AU versions of the charas by default. Like, when I say Idate, I mean our WATGBS AU Idate, and the same goes with everyone else

Our WATGBS AU is so diverged from the OG WATGBS, it's more like "Fantasy world with our sea creatura faves" Ther ason why I’m obsessed with Idate, IdaTatsu, and our WATGBS AU faves is because I love the fanon versions we made for our WATGBS AU
