[lemoncholy-stars]

blog theme is blue now !!!!!

[summerroseart]

Actually yeah I'm still lowkey mad about this bc I was just able to open, edit, save, and download a 3500×4700 pixel drawing with 150 layers on my almost-4-year-old budget Samsung phone with extremely miniscule lag. I'm never ever believing apple is a better product

*seconds away from throttling my ipad* so you're telling me I spent $400 dollars on you and you CAN'T run an art file with 60 layers?? Do you KNOW what I used to draw on my $150 android PHONE??? SURELY you can do BETTER??

*ipad spits on my feet and crashes my drawing app for the 30th time* fuck you

REDACTED AWARDS 2024 🎤 hosted by @plaqying

SO. I've been a lasko guy since I discovered the channel thanks to one of his audios back in 2021, which was his first hot boi summer.

1. He's literally been the whole theme for my blog for months

2. There's not a single fucking day where I don't think about this man. It is CONCERNING

3. I can't shut up about him.

4. I have all his audios memorized thanks to how many times I've listened to them.

5. I once sat down and wrote his non-canon confession WORD BY WORD for the sake of a self-indulgence fic I was writing for myself.

6. I have more than ten Google docs about fl/lasko and dear/lasko fics that I wrote for no one other than myself.

7. He's the character everyone thinks of when they think about me

8. I have a tag dedicated to him so I can find the posts I make/reblog about him [#las posting]

9. Dear is my self insert.

10. I literally only post about him vvv

11. I have a photo of his icon on my homescreen

12. My username on some social media platforms is quite literally @/laskosbf

13. I have so many headcanons about him as a character that I've lost count

14. Even though my top 5 redacted guys has changed a lot since I started listening, Lasko has always been #1

15. When his first audio meeting Dear came out a bunch of people started tagging me and asking if I was okay or if I had died from shock (I was NOT okay😭)

16. I've been told by a bunch of mutuals (and non mutuals too) that they recognize me as "the lasko guy"

17. Even my non-redacted fan friends know about him because I can't shut up about that man

18. I check the redacted lasko tag multiple times throughout the day

19. APPARENTLY IVE SAID HIS NAME 900+ TIMES ON A DISCORD SERVER??? WHAT

20. He's one of my top kins

21. I used his name for my favorite thing in stardew valley vvv

22. I used the description from his yt Playlist for my wsp name (and other socials too) vvv

23. Back in 2021 when I was decorating my closet I wrote his name in a bunch of little sticky notes and I put them all over the space. I also doodled his icon on the wooden walls of it with a black marker 😰

24. pretty self explanatory I think (my tumblr header)

Idk man. Liking lasko is a personality trait of mine. I think these are enough proof 😭😭😭

[pineapplesneedrights]

..... so I decided to change my phone theme

It's a work in progress so nothing is final but I am loving where my dumb dumb little brain is taking meeeee

I don't wanna talk about how long it took me to make JUST this one part of my homescreen-

I'm so proud that I came up with the idea of the sigils being my app icons- not to brag but it felt very big brained of me

... what doesn't feel big brained is me deciding not to give them names so I have to sit there like a dumbass and try to remember which sigil is what app-

The things I do for aesthetics 🥲

have you played Love and Deepspace and what is your review on it??

Hello! Yes I have. It's sitting in my homescreen right now on my phone.

I think my opinions on it might be quite mixed or controversial? So just bare that in mind before reading.

I've played a looot of otomes. I think I started playing them in 2009. I can very much say that LADS is a unique experience. It's not like anything I've ever played before in terms of graphics, cinematography and interaction with your fictional boyfriends.

The Great:

I think the interface and design is really nice in certain aspects (the combat is a bit iffy). This is a very pretty game imo. Also can I just say, having a customisable MC is really great! I like that you can change not just her skintone but her voice settings as well. I also just- LOVE the 4 and 5 star cards content. They hold some examples of lovely scenarios written with care, and some good ole fanservice to boot as a treat. Whoever does the lighting for the 5* cards does a marvellous job, as the animations really feel 'alive' sometimes. Great direction with using the MC as the POV so the 'camera' swings or moves closer according to how she's reacting. Love that.

The LIs:

I think having a varied cast is important in otomes but a common vibe or theme can often be shared between their contrasting personalities. For Piofiore its mafia/crime lords and domestic life, for Cafe Enchante cosy coffeeshop vibes. With Love and Deepspace I'd say its cosy vibes mixed with action, mixed with angst. The cast supports this, with all of them having serious or sweet sides. I am definitely not drawn to some of them, but that's okay! I think anyone going in new should know they won't like everyone and that's common for otome. What I find uninteresting might be wonderful to someone else and vice versa. I will say Sylus took the spot as my favourite and he has a very different vibe to the others even when he's doing cosy domestic stuff. I very much enjoy his scenes and how dynamic they feel (also its really nice the whole cast is in their twenties)

The Bad:

The worst casualty in Love and Deepspace is...the main story. I can't overstate how much of a confusing, poorly written and badly executed mess the main story is. In terms of setup, establishing lore, world building and stakes, it somewhat limps from one chapter to another. Scenes can begin and end abruptly with plot threads seemingly dropped. Secrets can often be intriguing, yes- but by continually withholding answers the game can get a bit frustrating. As a new player with no knowledge of the game, I didn't understand why Rafayel kept referring to himself as a fish during the crane game and kitty card mini games. It was like they were referencing something that hadn't happened yet in game, so I was like - okay, I'll wait. I'm sure it'll be explained (spoilers: it was not explained).

Essentially if you want backstory and context to the boys you NEED their cards to unlock their content, and I'm not a huge fan of that. I think the main story should still at least give you a bit more to work with about the boys. (This is especially bad when the lore is locked behind gacha luck). And I get that the whole story is space/time themed but sincerely I did not know the world of Love and Deepspace was capable of casual space travel until I read Sylus' anecdote story. This is not good worldbuilding. Sure it throws loads of terminology at you but you'll have to read the notes yourself to understand what they are. It's a lot of telling and not showing. For an example of how this could've been done: Cowboy Bebop is about bounty hunters in space. It has scenes of them...in space. You're telling me someone as rich as Sylus, who offers MC to go on his motorbike, yacht, and private jet, wouldn't offer her a circle around the planet in his spaceship? Idk it feels like a lot of worldbuilding details have been overlooked.

There is also the issue of voice acting. This can again come down to personal preference but in general I always give English Dubs a fair chance, and enjoy many of them. Voice acting has come a long way since the wooden performances of older animes and games. That said, many of the boys, especially in the earlier chapters and content sound extremely flat. This goes double for the NPCs (who can be laughably bad). It's not even a matter of 'oh this person is just reading lines with no emotion' no the inflections in their voice are off- the context of what they're supposed to be emoting to can feel a million miles off base. I barely felt like they were in the scene with me. That said - this was likely a voice direction issue, because more recent content allows the boys to sound more relaxed and involved in the scene. Sylus' English VA knocks it out of the park in his performance though and I really appreciate how much he embraced that role. A lot of people could get embarrassed having to voice ASMR type content but he got fully immersed so 10/10 for that. I haven't tried any other languages apart from Japanese but c'mon, we know the Japanese VAs are like celebrities over there and will crush any role so no notes there except they're all great.

TLDR:

With all that said I do not hate the game, I really enjoy it! (I wouldn't have ranted so much here if I didn't care) I just wish certain aspects were tightened up more for storytelling purposes. It feels a bit jarring when some aspects of the game are SUPER polished but then easy mistakes are made. So I'd say if you're interested in playing - to just embrace the fluff and spicy fanservice. Treat it as your main meal as I do. If you end up enjoying the main story and combat then that's a bonus! I really hope this game continues to be successful because their recent content and chapter has been super intriguing - and in general its just nice to have an otome reach the spot of 3rd highest grossing mobile game during some months (below the giants like Genshin and HSR)

update no I’m not doing this

yea so what if I themed my blog to side order

[planetkiimchi]

describe your relationship with ur moots using different kpop idol ship dynamics ⭐️

HI ANON I LOVE THIS ASK !!

me and @blue-jisungs: kunten. just like how ten teases kun about his age, i like to tease axe about her fame HEHE but at the same time we're very comfortable with each other and there's a mutual understanding between us!

me and @haoiism: junhao. dani is my comfort <3 comfort theme comfort writing and everything in general! js like how hao loves watching jun being all excited and hyper i love seeing dani's posts about fandoms i'm not in

me and @slytherinshua: markhyuck. zanna is def hyuck because she's super outgoing and friendly and an extrovert and i'm the introvert whose extrovert side comes out talking with her <3

me and @jisungsdaydreamer: renyang. we don't get a lot of chances to talk, but when we do,, it feels like coming home after a long day. (like the renyang camping trip i'll never forget)

me and @stvrlvghtwrites: hyunlix. vanya sends me the cutest asks asking about my day :(( i get so hapoy when i get to speak with her and she's just so sweet !! like lix fr :( she's my soft spot.

me and @fylithia: minchan. they're soo supportive of my works and always talks to me about their day :(( feels like how chan would take care of minho tbh

me and @i-luvsang: winhyuck. you still see them interact now? nope. but one of hyuck's homescreens is still winwin and him together. i think about ria a lot but we haven't gotten to speak much lately :(

me and @riordanness: sungtaro. we used to be super close and everyone knew we were friends but now we've moved to a different platform (like sungtaro went from nct to riize) and you don't see us interact as often :( still friends tho just branching out!

me and @welcometomyoasis: vershua (i hope that's the right way to write it ??). the same way the english-speaking line have a mutual understanding, so to do we (coming from the same country!) we're also not super close as of yet but it WILL change

Changing my lockscreen and homescreen monthly has genuinely been making me very happy. Its like a little treat for the beginning of the month where I get to find pretty images and compile a theme :)

[sevicia]

They gotta make an option to save phone themes like the visual settings u have on your phone.

Like this ⬆️ is my homescreen currently & I love it but what if I wanna change it ..... It's not THAT much effort but still T_T

[csabagucci]

hey everyone! im currently trying to make a 2014 themed homescreen, and i don't know what else to add to my games page. (dont mind the app icons of the games, i havent changed those yet)

any suggestions? :-)

[crystallizsch]

1-3 for the ask thing

hi hi thank you so much for the ask!!

━━━━━━✦ 1. Who's hand did you first grab? Why? Would you choose someone else if you could do it over again?

Leona's was the one I chose ;;;

when the game was first coming out on EN, leona was the one that stood out to me??? idk there's something about a hot, baggy-eyed man that has ears and a tail with a sharp, piercing gaze and long hair and -

if I could choose someone else if i started over, i definitely would! I would choose Riddle -

━━━━━━✦ 2. Who is on your homescreen?

HELP I AM VERY PREDICTABLE I just changed it recently to his dorm uniform and scarabia bg it used to be scalding sands themed with his event ssr and i switch it out whenever it's another character's birthday bc it looks awkward with just jamil there lmao

━━━━━━✦ 3. What does your guest room look like?

(i caught all three of em like this hehe) my guest room is a mess🧍 this used to be EMPTY bc i didn't know what to put in it now it's a mishmash of random elegant furniture, stuff from scalding sands and glomas, and my beloved one (1) ramshackle couch

━━━━━━✦ (ask game here! feel free to send me more!)

[vxnrouge]

Changing all of my accounts theme to Lilia in honor of the new year and his birthday. I won't change it until I get General Vanrouge SSR ( ＾ω＾ )

After 2 years, Vil has officially been removed from my homescreen (Sorry Vil, I'll put you back on your birthday).
