HAREM LAYOUT

CENTRAL HALLS

➺ HALL OF SUPREME HARMONY (TAIHE DIAN; 太和殿, TÀIHÉDIÀN)Think of this as the “stage of ultimate power”—the largest and most important building in the Forbidden City. It was where emperors hosted grand ceremonies like enthronements, royal weddings, and state celebrations. Its golden throne and dragon carvings radiated authority, reminding everyone of the emperor’s divine rule.

➺ HALL OF CENTRAL HARMONY (ZHONGHE DIAN; 中和殿 ZHŌNGHÉDIÀN)This smaller hall acted as the “emperor’s green room”—a place for the emperor to prepare and rehearse before major ceremonies. It gave him a quiet space to rest, finalize rituals, and mentally prepare to face the grandeur of the court.

➺ HALL OF PRESERVING HARMONY (BAOHE DIAN; 保和殿 BǍOHÉDIÀN)Known as the “hall of final tests,” this space was where imperial banquets were held and the top-ranking scholars competed in the last stage of the civil service exams. It symbolized the bridge between talent and power, as successful candidates earned coveted roles in the empire.

RESIDENCES OF THE EMPEROR AND EMPRESS

➺ PALACE OF HEAVENLY PURITY (QIANQING GONG; 乾清宫 QIÁNQĪNGGŌNG) – The Emperor’s ResidenceImagine this as the “emperor’s headquarters.” Early in the Qing Dynasty, this was the emperor’s living space, but later it became a formal area for state affairs and meetings. Its ornate design reflected the emperor’s central role in ruling the empire.

➺ HALL OF UNION AND PEACE (JIAOTAI DIAN; 交泰殿 JIĀOTÀIDIÀN)Acting as a “symbol of balance,” this hall linked the emperor’s and empress’s residences, representing harmony between yin and yang. It also housed the imperial seals, tools of state authority, symbolizing unity in governance.

➺ PALACE OF EARTHLY TRANQUILITY (KUNNING GONG; 坤宁宫 KŪNNÍNGGŌNG) – The Empress’s ResidenceKnown as the “empress’s haven,” this palace served as the residence for the empress and a site for significant ceremonies like imperial weddings. Its name reflects her role in maintaining harmony and fertility within the imperial household.➺ IMPERIAL GARDEN (御花园 YÙHUĀYUÁN)This lush garden was the “royal family’s retreat.” Pavilions, rockeries, and ancient trees offered the emperor, empress, and consorts a serene escape from court life. It showcased traditional Chinese landscaping, blending art and nature into perfect harmony.

SIX WESTERN PALACES (西六宫, XĪLIÙGŌNG)

➺ PALACE OF ETERNAL LONGEVITY (YONGSHOU GONG; 永寿宫 YǑNGSHÒUGŌNG): This palace housed senior concubines or favored women, such as Imperial Noble Consorts or high-ranking Consorts. It is known for its richly decorated interiors, symbolizing the high rank of its inhabitants and reflecting the emperor’s wish for a long and prosperous life.

➺ PALACE OF ETERNAL SPRING (CHANGCHUN GONG;长春宫 CHÁNGCHŪNGŌNG): Home to Imperial Noble Consorts or highly ranked Noble Consorts, this palace is distinguished by its elegant and understated design, symbolizing longevity and prosperity. It represented the emperor’s favor and the well-being of the imperial family.

➺ PALACE OF GATHERING ELEGANCE (CHUXIU GONG;储秀宫 CHǓXIÙGŌNG): Once the residence of Empress Dowager Cixi, this palace is famous for its lavish decorations, including silk panels and intricate carvings. It was home to Imperial Noble Consorts and Noble Consorts, reflecting both opulence and historical significance.

➺ PALACE OF UNIVERSAL HAPPINESS (XIANFU GONG; 咸福宫 XIÁNFÚGŌNG): This tranquil residence was for Consorts and Imperial Concubines, offering serene gardens and a peaceful atmosphere. Its name symbolizes happiness and harmony within the imperial household, providing a retreat from the tensions of court life.

➺ PALACE OF MANIFEST BENEVOLENCE (YONGHE GONG; 咸福宫 XIÁNFÚGŌNG): A modestly decorated palace, it housed lower-ranking Concubines or Noble Consorts. It was less prominent than other western palaces but still offered a residence for women with less political influence in the imperial harem.➺ PALACE OF ETERNAL HARMONY (YONGHE GONG; 永和宫 YǑNGHÉGŌNG): Designed as a peaceful space for Concubines seeking quiet contemplation, this palace offered a retreat for reflection. It was a place for introspection and spiritual solace, away from the bustle of court politics.

SIX EASTERN PALACES (东六宫, DŌNGLIÙGŌNG)

➺ PALACE OF GREAT BENEVOLENCE (JINGREN GONG; 景仁宫 JǏNGRÉN​GŌNG): This palace housed the Empress Dowager or other influential women in the court, such as the emperor’s mother or heirs. Its decorations, symbolizing benevolence and virtue, emphasized the maternal authority and moral influence of its residents. ➺ PALACE OF CELESTIAL FAVOR (CHENGQIAN GONG; 承乾宫 CHÉNGQIÁNGŌNG): Reserved for Imperial Noble Consorts, Consorts, or Imperial Concubines who had borne the emperor’s children, this palace is known for its ornate design, reflecting the high status of its residents and the emperor’s favor toward them. ➺ PALACE OF ETERNAL HARMONY (YONGHE GONG; 永和宫 YǑNGHÉGŌNG): Similar to its western counterpart, this palace housed Noble Consorts or Concubines with a quieter role in the court. Featuring serene gardens and courtyards, it offered a peaceful retreat for personal reflection. ➺ PALACE OF PROLONGING HAPPINESS (YANXI GONG;  延禧宫 YÁNXǏGŌNG): Known for its European Baroque architectural style, this palace was a residence for Concubines and Noble Consorts. It was partly rebuilt during the Qianlong Emperor’s reign but later fell into disrepair, symbolizing Qing openness to foreign influences. ➺ PALACE OF PURITY AND TRANQUILITY (SUQING GONG;肃清宫 SÙQĪNGGŌNG): This simple and serene palace was designed as a retreat for lower-ranking Concubines or Noble Ladies, offering them a quiet space for reflection and solitude, away from the complexity of court life. ➺ PALACE OF LASTING BLESSINGS (YONGSHOU GONG; 永寿宫 YǑNGSHÒUGŌNG): Reserved for lower-ranking Consorts, Concubines, or retired women, this palace symbolized the emperor’s wish for enduring prosperity and blessings. It provided a peaceful residence for women no longer involved in the active imperial harem.

➺ THE COLD PALACE (冷宫, LĚNGGŌNG) was not a specific, singular palace but rather a general term used to refer to places where disfavored imperial concubines, consorts, or court members were sent. These women were effectively confined, losing the emperor’s favor and their political or social standing. The Cold Palace was often located in remote or less-maintained parts of the Forbidden City, far from the central Inner Court and main residential areas.

There is historical evidence suggesting that parts of the Six Western Palaces or other unused, deteriorating buildings within the Forbidden City were sometimes repurposed as Cold Palaces. One of the more commonly referenced Cold Palace locations is the Palace of Prolonged Happiness (Yanxi Gong) after it fell into disrepair following a fire during the Qianlong Emperor’s reign.

These spaces were intentionally isolated, with simple or dilapidated conditions, reflecting the loss of favor of those confined there.

Going to outright admit it, this is my first time doing a request, but here goes:

This request is based on an April fools event in a game called Nikke: Goddess of Victory.

https://youtu.be/l1pWg-ujU-o?si=GKV12WISdeGSsluR

The above link may seem 18+, it’s not lol, it’s April fools and thus it’s simply chaos happening due to a harem of jealous women. (Although yanderes DO butter my toast very nicely.)

Basically my request goes:

Y/n pranking legendaries by sending letters to said legendary figures. Beasts, ancients, dragons, you can add whoever you want, just pls add Elder Farrie I am STARVING for content of this faerie fella, Y/N is terrified by the sheer amount of powerful cookies busting through their door, ceiling, etc etc, but also goes “welp, I’ve come this far, if I die, I’ll die with a bang” and pranks the godlike cookies because ✨CHAOS✨

Apologies if I seem too formal, too vague or just plain weird by the layout or wording of this request, it’s my first time and due to a change of events in my life, I’m currently very giddy and wish for chaotic joy by sending a request to my favorite reader x cookie run writer, thank you brittle!

I saw you mentioned two characters specifically, so I’ll focus on them.

Elder Faerie would’ve shook his head at your attempt of a prank. You know how risky it is to send a message like that to the entire Legend Chat, cookies with not so pure intentions could’ve gotten to you first and had done unspeakable things.

You were lucky he was quick to prepare his attire and weapon as well as making it here on time. If you had simply wanted some time with someone, you should’ve just brought the matter to him only and he would’ve came over.

Why he was in the Legend Chat when he’s a Super Epic was beyond you.

Xylitol Nova Cookie would show similar concerns when it came to just messaging something that outrageous in the board. Having to be alone with cookies Like Timekeeper or even one of the dragons would’ve been bad, you’d have to be decontaminated from head to toe!

It just so happens that he had been working on a security system that will ensure that nothing short of a Beast will be able to break through the made defenses. Of course, he’d have the clearance to enter the room unopposed if you ever messaged seriously about being lonely again.

----------------------------------------------------------

     He grabs your wrist once you are alone, pulling you down the corridor with him. 

     “Duckie!” you laugh, stumbling along after him. “Duckie, calm down!” But he doesn’t, keeping up his unrelenting pace until finally, you stop outside his rooms. 

     He stood in front of the doors, your hand in his, his heart pounding in his chest with anticipation. Then he slid his gaze over to you. 

     This was it: this was what you had been waiting for. He wouldn’t have brought you to his private chambers if he had simply wanted to discuss politics with you. Your gaze flickers up to his and he looks at you in question, waiting for your assent. You turn your attention back to the doors and inhale slowly, standing tall. Then you nod.

     He pushes his door open, giving you the space to walk inside. You’d never been inside his room before, not even as a child. It was slightly bigger than yours, but with a similar layout: a receiving room in the middle with a door that led to the bath on the right and another that led to his bedroom on the left. The colours were more muted than yours, too: dark greens, calm yellows and earthy browns. You step onto the carpet, heading for the cushions at the end of the room by the balcony, but Miguel grabs your wrist, stopping you.

     “Not there,” he told you quickly, starting to get nervous again. What if you didn’t want him in the same way that he wanted you? In the same way that he’d started dreaming about since the women of the harem had begun instructing him on how to touch his lovers in the bedroom? Well, lover singular. Although there would only be one queen, it wasn’t unusual for a king to take more than one woman as his wife - to ensure the passage of his seed and the conception of his heirs. But he’d seen how much it had affected his mother, having to hold her head high whilst his father lay with some other woman in the harem across the palace. You turned to face him, a confused expression on your pretty face, and his insides twisted at the thought of you having to experience that same pain because of him. He wouldn’t do that to you, never. He swallowed hard and nodded to his bedroom, his eyes staying fixed on you to gauge your reaction. “In there.” 

     Your heart pounds in your chest as you break his gaze to glance over at the door. His bedroom; he was inviting you into his bedroom. He had to know what that would mean; how you - and anyone who might find out - would interpret such a gesture. You look up at him, his copper eyes wide with hope as he holds his breath, waiting for your response. Then you turn back to his door and again, you nod.

     He led you into his bedroom, his body already hot with excitement. He’d always assumed that you would be his wife one day: you were a princess of his own kingdom, after all, it only made sense that you would marry him once you had come of age. And why else would his parents have let you spend so much time together since you were children? No one would ever know him in the same way that you would - would anticipate his moods and know how to soothe him after years of growing up with one another. But he hadn’t known back then what it truly meant to be married - what the difference was between a husband and wife and two childhood friends. 

     But then he’d been told which parts of a woman’s body would bring him the most pleasure; which parts he would like to stroke and kiss and … and join together with so that he might ensure the continuation of his lineage. He’d toss and turn in his bed at night, his sheets dampening with his sweat as he’d dream about your lips and your breasts and your touch. How would you have grown, he’d wondered, trying to imagine you a little older. Would your features be sharper? Your lips plumper and your body fuller? 

     And then he’d seen you, standing there in the middle of the Great Hall, more perfect than he could have ever imagined. He turned to you now and raised his hand to your cheek, leaning over so your lips were just a breath apart. “Why did you leave, kitty? You didn’t even say goodbye.”

     A lump forms in your throat at the sorrow in his words. He was right: how could you have left your best friend? The boy whom you had loved since you were a child? You swallow hard, your eyes falling to his lips, your head tilting back to try to close the distance between you.

     “I-I … I …” You place your hands on his chest and lower your gaze, sucking in a breath to regain control of your thoughts. “I didn’t say goodbye … because I knew I wouldn’t have had the strength to leave if I saw you again.”

     “Then why did you?” he questioned immediately. He took hold of your hands and the abruptness of his gesture caused you to look up at him. “You should have stayed. Here. With me.”

     Your heart squeezes at the sadness evident in his eyes and your gaze falls to the way he clutches your hands in his. You look up at him again and your eyes land on his lips, so close to yours. But you swallow down your desire, reminding yourself not to give in to him until he'd given you what you’d been working for. 

     “And serve what purpose, Miguel? Some … forgotten princess? Just waiting to be married off to a foreign prince in a strange land faraway?” You shake your head at the thought, your expression turning resolute. Then you think about your next words, choosing them carefully so as to guide your best friend’s thoughts. “At least if I remain at the temple, I might-”

     “No.” His tone is forceful and you frown in puzzlement at the intensity of it. 

     “You are not returning to the temple, Y/N,” he continues firmly. “I will not allow it.”

     You scoff indignantly, taking offence at his command. “And why is that?”

     “Because!” Why didn’t you get it? Why was it so difficult for everyone in this palace to understand?! He guided your hands to his shoulders, then lowered his to your waist, his brows still scrunched together in a frown. He leaned over you and his lips moved closer to yours with every sentence that he spoke. “Your place is here. With me.”

     He paused for a moment as his lips finally brushed against yours, so lightly you both might have missed it. Then he murmured against them. “As my queen.”

     You gasp and Miguel follows the movements of your mouth, maintaining the barest contact between your lips. This was it. Iset would have told you to seal the deal immediately; to give yourself over to him and ensure that he could not go back on his word. But to you, he was still your friend - still the boy who had defended you from your classmates when they’d mocked you as ‘Princess of the Heretics’ - and you wanted to be sure that he wasn’t just acting on his lust. “But … But duckie … You can’t make that decision in one night-”

     “I haven’t.” He wrapped his arms around you, delighting in how deliciously soft you felt against him. Gods, he wanted to taste you. He wanted to touch you and be touched by you and show you exactly how much he’d missed you in the time that you’d been gone. But you still didn’t believe that his feelings for you were true. “I have always thought that you would be my queen.”

     You turn away from him and he reluctantly pulls his lips away from yours, running through the list he'd perfected in his mind. “You speak many of the languages across the continent and are well-educated in most of our allies’ cultures as well. You bring a smile to the face of everyone you meet, putting them at ease so that they trust you with their secrets. You are wise and fair and I know you would always put our people first.”

     He bends over and his lips graze yours as he continues to speak. “You are the princess of this kingdom, my little kitten. Who would make a better Queen than you?” 

     His eyes fluttered closed as he pressed his lips harder against yours. But you turned your head away, still dissatisfied by his answer. He sighed and slid his hands up your back, pulling you into his chest. 

     “You said you wanted me to have a fulfilling companion, kitty,” he reminds you, holding you close to him. “Someone who would share my burdens and support me in whatever I did. Who would …”

     His lips skim the edge of your jaw and he groans as you shudder against him. “Y/N …”

     His hands fall back to your waist, holding you in place as his lips make their way down your neck, stopping occasionally to suck lightly on your skin. 

     “Promise … Promise me … my love …” Your head falls back as he brushes his nose up to your ear and you whimper in surprise as he tugs on your lobe with his teeth. “Promise me that you’ll be my queen.”

     His lips land back on yours and you can stand it no longer. You stretch onto your toes and close the distance between you, your fingers twisting into the front of his robes as you kiss him. Miguel smiles as he kisses you back, his hands sliding across your body slowly, carefully. One of his hands drops down your back, landing on your behind, and he squeezes you gently.

     “Y/N …” He pulled away from you and grinned at the dazed look he found on your face. “Turn around.” 

     He spun you around, then swept your hair over your shoulder and unhooked the back of your necklace. You were so soft and so sweet and he was even more eager now to know what your bare skin would feel like against his.

     You cover your chest with your hand and twist your head to see him placing your necklace on his dresser. He takes his crown off as well and you give him a curious look as he moves back over to you. “Miguel? What are you doing, my darling?”

     Oh, he loved hearing that. He grinned as he combed his fingers through your hair, carefully undoing your braids and tugging out the ribbon of gold. 

     “I am making sure that no one can ever take you from me again,” he tells you calmly, setting the ribbon down beside your necklace. He turns back to you and takes your hand, pulling you to him before sliding your bangles off. “Not some priestesses locked away in a temple somewhere, nor some foreign prince from a faraway land.”

      He takes both your hands in his and strokes the backs of them with his thumbs as he gazes down at you. “I won’t let anyone ever take you away from me again, my kitty.”

     His eyes trailed down your body and the saliva pooled in his mouth as he took in the ample curves of your breasts, the tops of them exposed by the low cut of your dress. He hadn’t even touched you yet and he could already feel himself getting excited! He cupped your cheek in his hand and walked you backwards to his bed as he began kissing you again, his tongue sweeping across your lips as he sought permission into your mouth. 

     You part your lips, just enough for him to slide his tongue into your mouth and brush it against your own. A whimper escapes your throat at the taste of him, and he bends over to keep his mouth pressed against yours as your head falls back with pleasure.

     You tasted so sweet, exactly as he’d imagined you would. He felt some resistance suddenly as the backs of your legs hit his bed and he straightened, pulling his mouth away from yours. He brushed your hair behind your ear, his heart fluttering at your adorable little face, then he took a step back from you.

Miss Canada and Canada Day

Dear 'Oh Canada, Our Home and Native Land' Anon,

I, too, wiped a fond, sentimental tear, while being reminded it was Canada Day today. Such beautiful personal memories of a totally impromptu Sweet Sixteen party, somewhere in Nova Scotia!

Ahem. Back to our monotheme, I hope you also noticed the MPC logo on top of the perfunctory 'Happy [insert country name here] Day':

The layout gave me airline magazine, not harem vibes, Anon. And yes, I know once upon a time June Brunette was Miss Universe Canada. In 2006.

Who the hell remembers Sarah and Lauren, anymore? Thinking of The Brazilian Fan who could have sworn her little💘out that she saw an organic couple having lunch on that Fateful London Afternoon. And then proceeded to publish a lengthy Shipper Insult 101 for everyone to see (https://www.tumblr.com/sgiandubh/750212524028362752/five-minutes-of-instagram-fame). I hope she really felt reality bite and her looking like the Global Fool she really is, now.

Oh, how the mighty quickly fall to oblivion! Who remembers Purse Holding S, @ Hyrox London, anymore? Who remembers the rabid Anons, demanding to know where Scottish Xena was, and with whom and why?

*crickets*

And for all of the above, in the unforgettable South Park parlance...

I have to say, it's spot on, at times. At least until The Next UFO hits the fandom with renewed hysteria and collective amnesia, that is.

[harvestmino]

hey remember 11 years ago when i was going to make a harvest moon clone starring minoriko but it didn't go anywhere because I was too busy doing absolutely nothing of value instead?

well say hello to the week 1 build of HARVEST MINO, complete with dogshit tiles and the ability to grow a turnip. we're doing it man. we're MAKING THIS HAPPEN. me and my esteemed investors, that is!

I've created this dev blog to talk about the game, so follow if you're interested in seeing this get made from the ground up.

read on for more details!

HARVEST MINO* is Studio Hexeye's next project! it's a touhou-themed farm sim starring Minoriko Aki! The release is targeted for summer 2025.

*(working title that will change later; i doubt natsume's lawyers would like this one very much)

THE STORY

With more youkai and gods seeking refuge from the outside world, Gensokyo's population is growing! That means they need more humans to go around, too. To address this, a number of big name youkai have gotten together and agreed to back off from the HUMAN VILLAGE for a few years and allow it to expand.

Although they're causing fewer incidents, that doesn't mean some of them aren't keeping busy! For instance, KANAKO YASAKA has built YASAKA RESORT TOWN on the side of YOUKAI MOUNTAIN to bring in money from wealthy youkai finding themselves with too much time on their hands.

You are MINORIKO AKI, Gensokyo's lowest-ranking harvest god. With the HUMAN VILLAGE growing, this is a prime opportunity to increase your popularity! KANAKO YASAKA has decided to invest in your venture by granting you a prime piece of farmland near YASAKA RESORT TOWN. If you can ship enough of your divinely-blessed(?) produce to the HUMAN VILLAGE, you're certain to make a name for yourself, leading to faith and riches beyond your wildest dreams! Good luck!

HARVEST MINO DESIGN GOALS

Alternate gameplay modes: CASUAL and SERIOUS

despite being a genre in which you essentially cannot lose, a surprising amount of people find farm sims stressful due to the time management aspects. i intend to cater to this audience with some simple rules changes in an alternate gameplay mode.

SERIOUS is your standard farm sim experience - each day is on a timer, and you'll complete the game and have your performance evaluated after two years. this mode also includes a few additional restrictions to make the resource management of the game a bit more involved.

CASUAL removes the time limits. the clock on each day stops when it hits midnight (like in SNES harvest moon!) so you have all the time you need to wrap up before going to bed, and you complete the game by reaching a certain story goal, whenever you get around to it. it is also more friendly towards filling out your farm with automated stuff like sprinklers, since time doesn't matter anyway.

More choice/depth in farm design

lemme get this out of the way: i hate stardew's endgame. the biggest moneymaker in the game is filling your greenhouse with ancient fruit and turning it into wine; the bulk of your profits come from tossing your fruit into kegs once a week and ignoring your farm otherwise. i think this sucks and one of my design goals is to make the value of income sources proportional to how much manual effort they require.

another thing that has always bugged me about farm sims is that the way you lay out your farm is generally decided for you by the way your tools work. if your watering can upgrade targets a 3x3 of tiles, then all your plots are going to be 3x3. in harvest mino you'll be able to choose from multiple upgrade patterns for your tools, so you can have crops in rows, blocks, the ol' C pattern, or whatever you like. we're going back to old harvest moon rules, where you can't walk through crops after they sprout, so plan your layout well!

Harem end??

let's get real, when it comes to farm sims, the girls are what we're really here for, right?

to be forthcoming, I'm not planning to have marriage in the game per se - I don't think it makes a lot of sense for creatures that are hundreds of years old to make a commitment like that after knowing each other for only a year or so - but the end goal is functionally the same, to get them to move in with you.

now, few, if any, farm sims feature the coveted HAREM END. this is understandable, it would be a design nightmare to have 5+ NPCs pathing through your house at any given time. however, by planning around it from the start, we can make it a reality! in this game, in addition to the usual requirements, each girl you're interested in will require you to build her a specific addition to your house to accommodate her. this gives them their own space to move around and will really improve the vibe that you're living together.

(don't forget that you will need a steadily-increasing bed size as well.)

Fast travel!

you're a 2hu! you can fly! you'll be able to open up your map, just pick a spot, and fly there! (in SERIOUS MODE, this will cost a small amount of daytime).

Adventure!

you're a 2hu! there's gotta be shooting! the game will feature "adventure zones" where you can blast through enemies while searching for forage and loot. exactly what this gameplay will look like is still up in the air, but right now I'm thinking room-based twin-stick shooting, Smash TV style. (don't worry about the difficulty, it'll be approachable for anyone. ASTROLANCER was a learning experience.) plus you'll be able to bring a girlfriend along to help!

Additional note concerning the cast:

the game is currently in very early planning and as such is in roster hell!! the cast is not set in stone so I won't be revealing too much yet. i have to limit how many characters are in the game to keep dev time under control so try not to be disappointed if your favorite 2hu doesn't show up.

IM SO DOWN FOR ILLAD BRO HAREM ACTUALLY I THINK I LIKE THAT

Like i just imagine, if the events really went like what other anon said, you can have a reason (while not dying because you're protected by 2 bros) and you'll go like "ok. You know what.. What if i marry all three of you. Ares, i love you, and these are your brothers. Don't kill me, i won't leave you, and share. We'll get to therapy in a bit. Ajax, these are your brothers you should not kill them, and i don't think you should bring any girls in here ares would kill them. Achilles.. Um, try to be less clingy or we'll both get killed by your brother."

honestly like itd be the weirdest polycule.

you have achilles being the only responsible and reasonable one like 90% of the time because if his brothers are around he won't want to show his weak side. no more silly little masochist he doesn't have the time. which means he's actually more stressed than normal and desperately wants torture time.

ares would try he would! he tries to be a good wife even with everyone else pissing him off. he'll take care of the house he'll cook dinner for you and him and conveniently forget his brothers- he would absolutely lose it if you showed any preferential treatment. he's the main reason achilles can't have torture time because being alone with you for that long would make ares go crazy.

ajax has to struggle the most here i think because he's got all these complicated feelings but now he can't do shit because he does not wanna get on ares bad side. he would probably bring more girls over but for himself only to get passive aggressive comments about how he clearly shouldn't be here he doesn't actually care about you from ares.

ares is a problem child idk if I've stated that enough before.

i think! maybe if you were the one to really put your foot down with ares and like clearly layout what you want the harem could work out. you'll have to make a schedule for who gets what day but like it could work. it's just also messy af

[doedipus]

idk how to dunk screenshots underwater on desktop but pretend I did

first of all, azumanga is shonen! a lot of harem anime/manga are also shonen! shonen is a publishing demographic various magazines aim for akin to the way american publishers talk about the "middle grade" or "young adult" demographics rather than being a genre. if you see manga listed as shonen anywhere, that doesn't mean that it's a battle-adventure-whatever naruto-like series, it just means that it's published in a magazine that's primarily aimed at middle school and high school aged boys.

azumanga daioh was published in dengeki daioh, one such magazine.

love hina is a harem manga that was published in weekly shonen magazine, which one might gather is another shonen magazine.

jojo's bizarre adventure is a battle manga that used to be published in jump, a shonen magazine, but is now published in ultra jump, a seinen magazine aimed at the next age demographic up. it's not shonen because it's aimed at young men of college age and up

also, what is the point of a graph if one extreme is just shrugging anyway??? are we making a clear statement here or just pointing out obvious flaws in a way that feels weirdly suspect? like, the layout of this thing implies that it's safer to assume any given shonen series is going to be especially misogynistic than not, which is kind of a weird thing to say!

*throws a carrier pigeon with a message towards you and then runs away*

Hi! Just wanted to say that I always enjoy reading your stuff about Raphael! You especially write his dialogue and his perspective very well. I actually come back to reread "Little Spoon" every now and then because it is soft and cute and I love how the devil-man doesn't even think to try to convince himself that he doesn't like it.

Thank you for writing what you have! I hope to read more from you in the future but I will also always be happy with what you have written and shared with us. Bye!

As a writer it's always so awesome to hear that people re read your stuff. Thank you so much 🥺

It often feels like I'm posting into the void so this really made my day and I don't have words to express my gratitude 🙏

I'm sort of in weird place atm. I lost my job and the job market sucks. I'm taking an online course on my own time now and I will start a Project Management course next month (that the agency for labor (?) pays for). My partner makes enough money so we won't go hungry or anything like that but it won't be as comfortable as it was.

Tangent: how do "men" expect women to stay at home when one (above median) salary is not enough to even cover two people? (My partner would love it if I made enough money so he doesn't have to work xD)

So, yeah, I haven't really sat down to write in a while. The only thing I have worked on were original stories but none of them have reached a stage where I can just write either. (They are fantasy and fantasy-romance stories, some even polyam/reverse harem bc I too want to be adored by multiple attractive men xD) It's fun to work on, especially since there is the possibility to self publish at some point in the future. Maybe I'll put some on my website a la Andy Weir.

TL;DR not sure when I will post fanfics again

Ps. Raphael & Haarlep zine will be out soon-ish when the layout is done

Hello CC, this is a sort of follow-up to my last ask.

I got one of the Satan cards I was looking for after... 41 summons I think? It's the card 'The New Student's Secret' from one of the revivals. I saw it and I knew I had to possess it... I mean Satan being a very beautiful man in the prescence of the most wondrous creature known to man, a cat? I could write a paragraph as to why that card's default layout(/image?) is the absolute best but I won't.

In regards to events, I think my own mixed feelings on them may be because I am a bit of a completionist so I end up playing through and reading all of them, regardless of whether I have interest in the story. I also hold strong investment in romancing one character out of the cast of them so completing Celestial Blessing events where they lean so heavy into the harem aspect feels awkward for me. (Which is strangely out of character for me because I usually like harem shenanigans in media.) Especially since I have a little bit of beef with Solomon. I do like having interactions with and being friendly to him I just want to have the option to punch him at least once because sometimes he just has the audacity and I cannot take it. (It is for similar reasons I actually like his character quite a bit too, my many opinions are conflicting.)

The current event was a delight, and as you said, it's hilarious that the characters tasked MC with trying to sneakily make Barb cry considering he always knows about people's schemes. MC wasn't too subtle with their comments or questions either... If other Barbatos events are so delightfully bizarre, I'll definitely have to check out some of the past ones in Lonely Devil.

I also really appreciate you filling me in on the history of pop quizzes and events throughout Obey Me! Shall We Date and Nightbringer. I love having information I can stockpile in my brain.

Thanks for the response to the last ask and good luck with all your requests,

-🦇🪐

Hi there, 🦇🪐 anon!

Ah well 41 summons isn't too bad, right? I mean it isn't great either shoulda been one summon lol. But at least you got it! Satan and cats are indeed an excellent combo.

I totally get it, I used to read through every single even too. I was like I must have all the cards, I don't care who they're for lol. It's a slightly different experience for everyone, but I do think that if you aren't too invested in all the characters, it makes those events harder to get through. Just because they can be kinda boring.

In fact, I find most of the events to be a tad boring, plot wise. I generally play them for the goofy lines we often get and the tender romance lines that are sometimes really good, too.

I also see how it can be especially annoying if you have one character that irritates you!

I would definitely classify most of the Barb events as "delightfully bizarre" so if you find you have some time to read through some of the old ones, you might want to. They always feel so unrelated to his interests, but he's still his usual romantic self despite it all... sigh...

I didn't intend to get so detailed, but by the time I realized what I was doing, I had already written the whole thing. And it was like well... here we are. I don't know that you'll ever need that info for any reason ever at all, but now you have it anyway!

Thanks for dropping by!

Mimi, where DOES the harem stay? Kendy has a mansion. I have some weird abode in the woods. What’s the layout? What’s the floor plan?

it's a weird outer circle of small mini palaces with a central palace and walkways connecting the outer portion to the center, think the spokes of a wheel, and izuku has a special position at the top of the wheel but he mostly stays with me hehe

i should come up with a nicer floor plan at some point and draw it hehe

List of Compile Heart and Idea Factory grievances to look out for

Since my post on Madou Monogatari 4/Fia picked up more steam than I thought, I figured as a former fan of their games, I should just make a post about the work from this studio and what to keep an eye out for when the new Madou Monogatari game releases.

Hopefully the new Madou game will be free of these issues, but… even with the original staff, writers, and D4 involved, it's hard to tell. So this will be a mild PSA of sorts.

Extremely tedious grinding and gameplay: Some of the Neptunia games and other titles required RNG/save state nonsense just to get the best ending. Yes, these games often had multiple endings, and you could lock yourself out of them very easily.

Very poorly made dungeon mechanics: Explained in a video about Spectral Tower, known as the worst RPG ever made.

Performance issues or crashing that will make you lose your progress: Most notable in their PS3 era of games, which may have been the fault of NIS America, but their Switch games do still lag quite prominently. I have had the unfortunate, repeated experience of losing progress due to these games being held together with duct tape.

Recycled assets: While it's normal for games such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest to use recolored enemy assets or maybe pixel tile sets, CH/IF take it to a whole other level by recycling… entire dungeon layouts with very little differences in color. If you've seen a few areas in one game, then that's the most you are getting for the rest of it. A game that's a sequel to another in a franchise will even use the same assets as its predecessor despite it looking terribly jarring.

Now uh, the rest of this I have to put a content warning for. None of these are gameplay related, but are strictly about the objectification of minors and LGBT+. I know a lot of the bottom half of this list is subjective and some people won't be bothered by it, but some other people are going to be bothered by the extremely outdated humor.

Sexual assault: CH/IF are totally okay with making jokes about SA or using it for shock. It's considered funny when Plutia or CFW Trick harass girls, or when accidental pervert moments happen. Assault also happens in the game Fairy Fencer F, and while the character responsible is a villain he's also just… forgiven by the end.

Predatory depictions of LGBT+: Quite a few characters are the stereotypical, predatory, yandere or gropey lesbian types and one Neptunia game is outright transphobic to a character that is depicted as a stalker of sorts, with the character wanting to be referred to as she/her but the game never does so.

Loli and underage: CH/IF have no issue sexualizing their blatantly implied underage characters in both Neptunia and Mugen Souls. No, being immortal doesn't make these any less creepy and weird. Especially when Nepgear is called a teen before being assaulted. Even Pupuru from Sorcery Saga, who is only 16-17, is lusted after by the ambiguously aged counterpart to Satan, who wants her to "step on him" and frequently nosebleeds.

Erasure of LGBT+: Despite blatantly fetishizing yuri and yaoi, their Otomate division adaptation of HameFura, well-known for its accidental bisexual reverse harem, removed all wlw-related interactions present from the anime. This is something that fans were rightly unhappy about.

Again, I hope that Madou 4 will be free of ALL of these known issues, since a handful of these games are almost over a decade old, it would be wise if CH/IF didn't do anything of their usual shenanigans. In fact, I would be more than elated if Madou 4 doesn't have any of their usual issues.

We'll just have to see.

MASTERLIST | NEXT >

CHAPTER 1 — this is too much underwear for a first meeting.

YOU WISH YOU CAN TAKE BACK ALL YOUR COMPLAINTS ABOUT DORM LIFE. Sure, the disgusting, communal bathrooms scrape a year off of your lifespan every time you have to take a piss, and the abhorrently thin walls make you want to rip your ears out every time your neighbors have mind blowing sex, but hey— all of that is better than not having a roof above your head. Even if that roof is two years behind maintenance. 

But it’s all too late. You should’ve appreciated having a bed to sleep in before life pried it out from you in the form of a swirling inferno.

When the semester came to a close, your dormmates thought it would be a fantastic idea to throw an end-of-year party. The problem is, that party ended up in flames. Literally. The last person you saw entering the kitchen was Choi Yeonjun until something exploded and before you know it, there’s a stampede, and you’re choking on black fumes, and there’s suddenly a lightshow happening right before your very eyes with the dorm building you’ve been living in for the past year serving as the sparkler.

Holy shit, your dorm is burning down.

It’s a good thing that the fire was stopped before it could reach your room. You don’t know what you’d do if all your notes and textbooks burnt down along with half of the building into debris. Even prior to the fire, a lot of the facilities were janky and needed to be renovated, so you had to pack your bags and find somewhere else to stay for the next two months while the place went through repairs.

“Great,” you huff, filling your two carriers with the bare minimum you have collected in your unit. “This is just fucking great.” 

However, just when you’re falling into the brink of homelessness, a friend from your book club graciously offers you a room in his house as a saving grace from your misfortune.

“It’s a small bedroom compared to the rest, but you only have to share a bathroom with one other person! There’s also a laundry room and a living area on the same floor. It’s a big place, so it doesn’t feel stuffy at all even with six, seven people.”

You have no reason to decline Jake’s offer, especially when it’ll be just a temporary arrangement anyway. “Are you sure? You said you have housemates, right? Are they fine with living with another person on such short notice?”

“Yeah, they said it’s cool,” he assures, helping you load your luggage into the taxi. “I’ve been wanting to fill up the last bedroom anyway. The house is just too big even with our current living setup. The more the merrier.”

You’ve always known that Jake Shim was fucking rich. Not because he bragged or flaunted his wealth or anything— but because he’d drop the most privileged, tone-deaf shit at the most inappropriate times and no one can get pissed because he looks oh so innocent while saying them. You had once complained about stuffing yourself with too much meat during a club dinner and that one more bite will have you nauseous. He replied with, “oh yeah, I once ate wagyu steak for a good week in Japan and I got sick of it, too!” and you physically felt your economic status erode at that very moment.

He and you will never be the same. And that fact is made suffocatingly evident right now, as the vehicle slowly pulls into a fancy neighborhood and stops right before the fence of an unreasonably gigantic yard with an unreasonably gigantic house. You do feel a little poor when he shows off the pool and the two garages, but at the same time, beggars can’t be choosers.

Also, it’s a really nice fucking house.

It’s three stories tall, with a covered deck and a substantial amount of outdoor lounging areas. Floor to ceiling windows give you a glimpse of the modern interior of the foyer and spacious living room. You’re a little afraid of getting used to such luxury that you might never want to come back to your old, dingy dorm room— but with every blessing comes a curse.

Jake did mention that you will be living with six other people including him. What he did not mention is that those ‘other people’ would all be men.

Imagine your shock when you’re greeted by a whole ass man in nothing but neon green boxers and shades the moment you slip through the sliding doors of testosterone hell.

Very. You’re very shocked. 

“Hey, man,” Jake greets the almost naked individual who is also holding a bowl of cereal in the middle of the afternoon, presumably having just walked out of the kitchen. “What’s with the glasses?” That’s not the biggest issue here. You can see the outline of his fucking penis.

“Oh,” he reacts. “It was just so bright when I got out of the room.”

Jake nods. “That makes sense.” No it does not.

“I think it just got even brighter.”

You can’t tell, but you assume he’s squinting at you underneath his shades. You believe you might also need a pair because there’s definitely a contender in being the brightest thing in the room, so you try your best to not be distracted by the neon of his undies as Jake introduces you to him. “And this is Park Jongseong— or Jay, as he prefers to be called.”

“Call me whatever you like,” Jay smiles at you and reaches out his non-cereal hand for a handshake. He seems chill enough. Maybe he’s just a very laid back person who doesn’t care about general appearances. You can work with that.

“Nice to meet you.” You shake on it. “Aren’t you cold, by the way?”

When he retrieves his hand, he combs his fingers through his hair, ruffling the strands. “My friends often say that I am pretty cool.”

“No, I mean cold,” you clarify. “That does look like a statement, but I’m worried you might get sick.”

You’re starting to get an inkling that you have misjudged Jay. It takes him a few seconds to understand what you were referring to, until a breeze passes by from the open entrance and suddenly, he looks down. “Oh,” he flatly says. “Of fuck.” And the innocent bowls cereal crashes and spills into the ground as Jay disappears into the hallway to your right.

You and Jake stare at the milk minutely seeping into the wooden floor. “I was gonna ask him to help you with your luggage but—” Where Jay disappears, a new person emerges (fully clothed this time, thankfully). “Oh! Hyung, come help.”

He has his neck turned back as he walks up to the both of you. You can hear the sound of footsteps scrambling from where the newcomer is looking at. “What happened to Jay?”

“I don’t know, but let me introduce you to our new housemate!”

“Hi there.” You give him a smile.

Jake tells you his name is Choi Beomgyu, and Choi Beomgyu doesn’t exactly look like he’s keen on accepting your handshake. Instead, all he does is stare you down with his arms crossed, eyes scaling your entire height like he’s doing a motherfucking evaluation. You’re trying your damn best to maintain a pleasant expression. You almost break when he quits his rude staring and turns over to Jake. “So, you need me to help carry her things?” The bastard isn’t even talking directly to you. Your pride can’t take this hit.

“No, it’s alright. I can take care of these myself. Thanks!” Jake flinches when you snatch your second carrier from his hands. “Third floor, right?”

“Uh, yeah.”

“Got it.” 

Yes, you might have shoved past Beomgyu on purpose, but that’s not the point. You leave the two behind to take care of Jay’s fallen cereal as you struggle to lug your luggage up the staircase. You manage to bring them all the way to the second floor landing before your arms give in and you let the two cases settle on the floor with a huff. When you pause to take a breather, you catch a familiar face walking down the stairs from above. You recognize him from Jake’s instagram stories. You’re sure his name is Lee Heeseung. “Oh! Let me help!” he quickly exclaims after noticing the situation, hurrying down the steps. “You’re the new addition to our residence, right?”

“Yes, I am, and it’s totally fine! You don’t have to—”

Big mistake. You should’ve just let him help, but you’re a little prideful so you reach out for the carrier he took, and when your fingers brush against the back of his hand, the man suddenly drops the fucking case and retracts his entire arm. You stare, wide-eyed, as Heeseung stumbles back to the ground next to your carrier that happened to crack open in the fray and is now spilling out all your clothes like guts and blood. Behind Heeseung, the door creaks open. “Is everything oka— oh my god, is that a b-bra—”

Well. It is, in fact, a bra, and its color seems to match the flushed face of the poor, unsuspecting individual that just opened the door out of concern for his friend. You make eye contact with him once before he retreats into his room with a loud slam! Heeseung is still on the floor and he’s now profusely apologetic.

“Shit, I’m so sorry, this is all my fault, please let me help—” The issue dawns on him belatedly, right when it’s already too late and he has your undergarment in his hands in the midst of trying to undo his mistake. “I don’t think I should help.”

“Good call.” You kneel down, politely prying your blood red bra from Heeseung as you proceed to gather the rest of your clothes back into the carrier.

“I should cut my hands off.”

Oh no. “Hey, it was an accident. It’s fine—” When you try to reach a hand out to give him a completely innocent, completely harmless pat on the shoulder for assurance, he flinches back again. Now your arm is awkwardly hanging mid-air and you’re both looking at each other with shared looks of alarm. The exchange (or lack thereof) reminds you of a forgotten memory— a memory from your childhood. Snacktime all throughout elementary school, to be specific, when all the boys would fucking run away from you and your girl friends for having cooties.

This moment is oddly reminiscent of that and you don’t want to acknowledge it.

“What happened? I heard a crash, is everything alright?”

By the time Jake arrives, you have already managed to clear up the crime scene. With a grunt, you get back up and prepare yourself for another round of heavy lugging. “Can you tell me where my room is? I think you should stay here and make sure your friend is okay.”

“It’s...the first door through the hallway, next to Sunghoon’s. Hyung, are you good?”

You have no idea who the fuck Sunghoon is, but you nod in acknowledgement anyway. “Who’s the person living in that room?” 

“Soobin hyung,” Jake answers, helping a dazed Heeseung back to his feet. “Why?”

“You should go check on him, too.”

With that, you leave another mess in your wake as you climb up the flight of stairs to the third floor. You can’t wait to rest. You really want to lie down. But when you walk past the hallway, entering into the floor’s unreasonably cozy living area, you’re met with a fucking fork in the road.

There’s one door right across the hallway, but when you open it, it’s not a bedroom, but a laundry room. So you make a sharp right to the archway opening up to three doors on each of the walls. Jake should have been more specific with what he meant by the first door. You don’t want to take a risk and walk into something you’d fucking regret.

Fortunately, someone emerges from the door on your right and reveals what looks to be a bathroom. You assume he’s Sunghoon, and Sunghoon nearly doubles over when he turns around and meets eyes with you. His expression stiffens, and you’re both just standing there for a good moment and looking at each other without saying anything.

You press your lips into a smile. Holy shit, he’s intimidating. Why the fuck isn’t he saying anyting?

“Hi. I’m—”

“S—shit—”

Suddenly, he’s gone. He’s disappeared into the room in the center after struggling to open the door for a bit. You’re left dumbfounded, but at least now you know where your room is.

You slot the key Jake gave you and twist open the doorknob. The empty room greets you with a body slam of fatigue, and before you know it, you’re sinking face down into the bed and you have no energy left in your fingertips. Admittedly, you have questioned yourself multiple times upon first entering the house whether you made the right decision, whether it’d be better to find an apartment, or maybe you should just crash at your parent’s place for the time being.

But this bed is more comfy than any hotel suite you’ve ever been to, and your bank account isn’t suffering from an enormous dent. Six disastrous men is nothing when you’re able to call a place your home. You can already envision where you’ll be placing your new bookshelf. They’d have to pry your new house key from your cold, dead hands if they want you out of here.
