[daxquacks]

i know the fandom is dead but I've been cosplaying hatoful again recently

[fuzzbuns]

doodles of me messing around with the human designs (THIS IS NOT A FIX IT THING ITS JUST FOR FUN)

Also HEAVY spoilers for holiday star under the cut. If u have not played the hatoful boyfriend games yet please do so before looking THEY ARE NOT LYINGG WHEN THEY SAY HATOFUL BOYFRIEND IS PEAK STORY TELLING!!

Sometimes i think about how perfect hitori’s mimicry of nanaki is on a visual level and yet when you meet the real nanaki, both in the after life but also in the mirror world he is just. So different that it becomes impossible to ever mistake the two again. The only reason hitori’s cosplay works is because no one knows the real nanaki well enough to call his bluff. Other than hitori obviously.

Also i saw art of the actual nanaki before i played holiday star and went “….? Was nanaki always this moe…?” And then brushed it off as just a more recent art style just being different LOOOLL

[sassyangelchild]

Recently finished Hatoful Boyfriend Holiday Star and god, I remember why I loved the first game so much, what other game can make me laugh so much to turn around and stab me right in the feelings with all that. I love all those silly birds and Hiyoko, and it's so fun, and then suddenly they are dropping lines like "This pain is mine. And you can't have it." and I'm on the floor.

(Spoilers ahead)

You are laughing at something silly they said or did and then someone is saying they want to die and it's so obviously a cry for help because they are in pain and are so overwhelmed by life and having to be functional and competent when they feel everything but and the only bird who listens and who they feel safe with just tells them to the face it's annoying to hear them always say that and not commit to it and fcking kills them. Like what. I'm still processing all that finale. I don't even have the first one very fresh on my mind so I'm sure I might have missed stuff but seeing Sakuya treat Yuuya always so coldly hurts. Ryouta insecurity, Nageki and Kazuaki (barely) interacting, Yuuya always trying to protect his brother and see him happy, Nageki talking about how he made friends and is enjoying his time and doesn't want to move on yet, that one bird that knew the doctor and that I wish I remembered more of but then he said to Ryouta to take care of her mom and suddenly I was like "wait I don't remember but was that his father??!" and then I remembered Ryouta's route in the first game and damn I have a lot of feelings now.

And it's a pigeon dating sim where the birds are a bird png with barely any variation besides some silly costumes when Ryouta is cosplaying and it still hits so hard, and somehow that makes it better because you start not expecting anything and it gives you so much more than you thought it would??

Anyways I had to ramble a bit lol. I like both games a normal amount.

GENSHIKEN POWER LEVELS

12 Days of Aniblogging 2023, Day 10

For no particular reason, all the members of the Genshiken have had their abilities translated into specific parameters. It’s pretty obvious that A would be the strongest, but you might be thinking to yourself, “What on earth is all this B+ and C+ nonsense!?” Well, don’t worry, because I’m not going to explain anything here. Just consult the Servant Parameter Rules.

Overall, the ratings represent ‘otaku power expressed as deviance, taking combat potential into account’.

Spotted Flower spoilers follow. (everyone is bisexual now).

Sasahara Kanji: C+, B

Condition: Green

An “average” otaku in nearly all respects, though he has good taste and the ability to distance himself and speak objectively, even when under attack by girls. Can appreciate yaoi in some situations. As a manga editor, of course, his power increases, and his devotion to his waifu is commendable. The Gunpla Quiz gave him the Ball as his favorite mobile suit, and he’s also a Patwaber fan!

Still… Ahhh! Men who get in the way of Yuri are unforgivable!

Kousaka Makoto A-

BAYOEN! BAYOEN! BAYOEN! BAYOEN! BAYOEN!

Extremely high base stats, a very scary offense and near-perfect defense, that pretty-boy face, perfect crossdressing, and the ability to make it all look effortless. Capable of going at it for half an hour while also watching anime! He can pull girls for threesomes whenever he wants! (not Saki though). He’s a master of the Great Tanaka Rensa technique! That kind of power is truly fearsome… However, a kiss on the cheek from Sasahara was super effective.

Harunobu Madarame. C++/--

Sou Uke

A lot of pros, a lot of cons. However, it all balances out to an average C. This guy is the very picture of a normal otaku… or at least, he tries to be. Low base stats, excellent coverage and decent utility, but he suffers from four moveslot syndrome. Capable of entering a gay relationship, and even bottoming, although the circumstances were not particularly praiseworthy. Easily punishable, due to his excessive recovery frames.

…I can’t decide if cheating on his wife on the night she gave birth to their child is something that raises or lowers his power level.

Mitsunori Kugayama C-

Level 27 Ranger

A pretty skilled artist, when he has to be. Usually he doesn’t have to be, so that’s fine. Manages to live a nice normal life without drama, and that counts for a lot – but he’s pretty conflict-averse.

Souichirou Tanaka. B

P-Bandai 1/100 MG Master Grade Ver. Ka

Capable of successfully synthesizing 2d and 3d by sewing cosplay, building gunpla, and even making custom figurines. Tanaka definitely understands the power of care and love. That’s not the kind of power you can take lightly.

The type to mostly just block attacks until he sees an opening.

Kasukabe Saki E

Blood Type: AB

An otaku-sounding name, but a low power level. Not actually very good at conflict, either. Still, she has been to Comiket Comifest! Don’t count her out.

Ohno Kanako D+, B

Wears a Three Star Uniform

Just wants to be a pretty cosplay mannequin with no internality – until Ogiue shows up, and then the gloves come off. You can really tell the devs put a lot of effort into that jiggling, huh. Don’t take her lightly though: she built seven Goufs.

Her victory line, “There’s no such thing as a girl who hates homos!!”, does feel really out of place after a round win against Hato though.

The Genshiken President ???

BLOOD TYPE: BLUE

A mystery to the last.

Angela Burton – C+

“Unlike your chest, mine gives people dreams and desires.”

You’d think that not being able to understand all those doujinshi she’s buying would make her a weak otaku – but in practice not speaking Japanese just makes her really good at dodging attacks. Extremely high attack power. Eventually becomes an enlightened being capable of appreciating both Yaoi and Yuri and, uh, demanding threesomes from her friends. Hm.

Suzanna Hopkins – B+

Pettan Pettan Tsurupettan

Today I’ll sneakily hide in the trees again and keep stalking Ogiue! I'll wait and steal the precious thing!  The little girl who speaks in nothing but references is actually really blushing?! She sticks out her arms when she runs; is she going for the cute look?

This fanservice joke girl (evil spirit begone!) /

born into the nation of America (probably plays puyo puyo)/

was actually, canonically, (Kadabra, Alakazam)/

bisexual??????? (Mada Mada Ra, Mada Mada Ra, Mada Mada Rame, yeah!)/

Manabu Kuchiki – E

Stand Parameter: Development Potential E

The other kind of joke character. Like Sue, he’s a grappler, but he just doesn’t have enough options or ability to adjust to matchups. Gets points for liking traps, but loses them for one-note misogyny; gets  points for kissing Madarame but loses them for being boring. Starts a lot of conflict but easy and uninteresting to deal with; he always goes for the super so you just have to bait it out and then smash attack him.

If that wasn’t enough, I personally hate this guy because if not for him Hato and Madarame totally would have done That!!!!!  

Ogiue Chika D+, A

Genshiken Brigade Chief and Ultra Fujoshi Director

Incredible otaku power – enough to draw doujinshi of people she knows in real life and easily grasp the truth of Kifujin Kaminaga’s “Hato x Brother” madness. She does constantly try to kill herself and deny her heart but once she stops doing that she’s capable of producing incredible amounts of manga. Ends up with a boyfriend and a girlfriend but complains that sexually satisfying them both takes away from her drawing time. She’s bad at dealing with conflict but her pure ‘level of ability as an otaku’ is close to the top of the rankings.

This ranking is curtain fire shooting game.

Girls do their best now and are preparing. Please watch warmly until it is ready.

The border land was wrapped in Scarlet Magic. Girls believe that you solve this Genshiken Nidaime.

Yoshitake Rika C+++

Nen Type: Manipulator (Pseudo-Coercive).

A demon of chaos. Her power as a fujoshi is fairly standard, but she devotes herself wholeheartedly to causing problems and drama – and in this capacity she’s powerful enough to approach Hato. All her moves have random components… in serious play nobody uses her but among casual players she’s often considered broken.

Yoshitake Risa D

Noble Phantasm Rank C

It’s all fictional anyway but girl. what is wrong with you. Fails to appreciate Hato, but does get Hato to wear fetish clothing, so that’s a bonus. The gap between her appearance and her personality is moe.

Mirei Yajima D+, A-

Self-Proclaimed Uncute Girl Doing Uncute Things

Toiling away in the shonen mines, convinced that someday Naruto and Sasuke will kiss for real no you just don’t understand the depths of their relationship. A terrible artist, and she knows it. Grouchy and grumbly and insecure about her gender presentation, especially with Hato around.

But she’s a good writer, and a good editor, and she knows what she wants (Hato) and how to get it. My second favorite character honestly; I really love the way her complexes towards and around Hato play out. “He needs to have sex with a guy so we can draw better manga, which is the only way to make sure he stays with me!” Yajimacchi are you okay? (no she is not. She has way too much internality).

Kenjirou Hato. A++

Super High School Level Homewrecker

What is Hato’s otaku level? Let’s review: Hato is a crossdresser with a foundational crush on his older brother’s EX-level fujoshi girlfriend, going so far as to dress up as her, copy her drawing style well enough to end up with a wall circle spot at Comifest, and blush when she tells him “Hey. I’m getting married to your brother soon. It’d be really hot if you dressed up as me and fucked my husband-to-be, your brother, as revenge on me for taking him away from you.”

Hato has a naked floating tulpa girl of his fujoshi self floating around behind him who does things like make him smell his senpai’s bedsheets and shower in his room, hoping Madarame will walk in on him. Once he's in deep enough with all of this, he gains a second naked floating tulpa girl of his fujoshi self who has the same eyes as his older brother's girlfriend and is Evil. Hato then integrates both of them and keeps crossdressing after a conversation with Ogiue about what he really wants to be and what he wants to draw.

Hato is out of his fucking mind. I love him.

Hato’s conflict potential is also extremely high. Not only was he a judoka (who spent time in the locker room looking at other boys’ bodies and thinking about yaoi) he expertly plays all kinds of “ohhhh you should just give up on me” women games with Madarame’s pure maidenly heart.

And then Spotted Flower happens. Spotted Flower is a moiling toxic sexual swamp of barely-holding-together relationships and threesomes where your good old favorite Genshiken buddies are now bi (Kousaka, Sasahara, Sue, Ogiue, Angela, and Yajima, in addition to original series bisexuals Madarame and Hato) and cheating on each other. Everybody hates Spotted Flower and they’re so wrong.

By the time of Spotted Flower, Hato is living as a woman full time, with silicone implants.

Regrettably, I have no choice but to stan.

[shinjukustyle]

I still can't believe I have so many mutuals still from the hatoful boyfriend days. Anyone remember when damurushi drew me casually cosplaying as Tori with a sweater and glasses. And when moa was interacting with our RP accounts on twitter. The hato elite. It was all a dream...

Genshiken (Pt 2) The Market of Fandom

Part 2 of Genshiken, as opposed to first season, drew me into a deeper element of fan production and content within the Genshiken club. While part 1 scratched the surface with cosplay and the doujinshi events, episodes 5, 10, and 11 explored further into the more taboo side of these fandom interests, which made me reevaluate my previous views quite a bit on how wild that these interests can become. Part 2 also delved into the feminine side of fandom, exploring fantasies like BL and depicting them very bluntly to the audience, which was certanily something startling among my watch of the series.

For example, Episode 5 delves into the subcultural elements of gender and identity traversion, with the focus being on the male cross-dresser character, Hato. In this episode we witness the struggles that Hato deals with regarding his identity and how he fits into the club. This struggle is experienced by countless individuals in global society on a more streamlined scale within typical society, but is handled quite differently within the context of the Genshiken club.

Episode 11 presents many elements of the dynamics between Hato's interactions with the other members in the club. Many of the topics addressed in this episode call back to many of the challenges and acceptance roadblocks that indviduals face even within their community. The inclusion and focus on BL was quite startling and hard to watch at times for me, but I suppose I was able to understand the societal significance that the level of acceptance in the Genshiken club models for many fandom communities in real life.

just like a star

[donuts4evry1]

its been a while since I've done any hatoful drawings, why not do a little Shuu? :3

[rogue-bard]

You know what, this is my blog, so I can subject you to my irrelevant frustrations:

In Outer Wilds, I phased through that goddamn piece of shit moon because I didnt manage to take a goddamn photo of it before landing (I assume that's what I gotta do, but don't tell me). After I've been chasing that thing for AGES because flying after such a small thing SUCKS.

About Danganronpa:

Firstly, I'm amazed that people complain about not caring if characters in Until Dawn die because every single person in Danganronpa could be killed off now and I'd say they had it coming asdfghjkl I hope I'll find a character I like later. I probably will. (And then I'll probably get them killed on accident lol)

Secondly, I've been called Byakuya Togami several times when cosplaying Yuuya from Hatoful Boyfriend. I didn't know who Togami was at the time, but I do now and I WILL FUCKING FIGHT YOU

(watch me eat those words later on when I probably fall in love with that asshole. Which would be funny because I couldn't stand Yuuya at the beginning either and then the idiot kept getting himself either eaten or shot for someone else in every second playthrough lol)

I started playing Danganronpa and Outer Wilds over the long weekend. I got exactly nowhere in either game and now the weekend is over so I'll probably not have time to pick up either game for months, and then I'll not continue due to not remembering anything.

Adulting sucks.
