Holly shit, what's happening?! Everybody is leaving the game.

More people is leaving…

[seducemefanficsandheadcanons]

I'm literally about to simply yap about a rewrite I started forever ago.

So, I'm definitely going to steer away from canon a lot more when I rewrite my rewrite lmao.

Initially I was worried about doing so. I started it because I struggle with plotting, and the plot was pretty much already there.

But I personally feel I have grown as a writer since starting it, and I think I can do a lot better than I had. I want it to be more than rewording what's already in canon, I want it to be new. Maybe not a new story, but a much more fleshed out version than I had originally planned.

Like, I want to explore a relationship with each boy before Mika choses Sam. And not just, oopsie I've kissed all of them. I want there to be conflict with the boys because they have all fallen for this woman, and she isn't even fully aware of it.

I want to explore the incubi's magic more and incorporate my headcanons better. I want to really dive deep into the possibilities of their magic and for that to terrify Mika, more than it did in canon and in my rewrite.

For example, Sam is more brute than the others, so how would that affect his magic aside from being able to feed on rage? I headcanon he can use fear enthrallment. Or how much can Erik affect dreams! Canonly he just absorbs them, but that's kind of boring lmao. I want him to be able to create them.

And some smaller headcanons as well! I like to think all of the boys have fangs for example.

I want to really work out Mika's background and explore her relationship with Harold more. This man was practically her father figure in my canon, but I would like to flesh that out more. I also decided to give Mika a power, I have now given Aron, my self-insert. I hadn't really developed Aron as a character, so in some ways, I had put her into Mika. I felt like I was writing multiple people in one character, so I failed to make her a consistent MC. Also, I want to make Mika a college student or have her already working at a job.

I want the threat of Malix to be truly explored. I failed to do this properly, and the plot was very much all over the place because I was like "Wow! Since it's a rewrite, the plot is basically written out for me!" so, I never truly sat down and thought about what I wanted to happen differently aside from ideas. I do plan to actually plot this out when I start again.

I want more hesitancy from Sam. (The boy I have chosen for the fic, because he is canon and because I live laugh love him) I want these weird fuzzy feelings in his chest to confuse him. Demons aren't able to love, so the fact he's feeling something that can only be described as such must confuse him.

There are so many more things, but these are the ones that come to mind. I am actually going to write this story and plot it out, whether that is with a million bullet points or chapter by chapter.

Really when I think about it, I'm still relatively new to writing. I started on Wattpad around mid-January of this year in attempt to gain back some cognitive skills after major surgery and because there were so many Seduce Me the Otome ideas, I wanted to read but couldn't find. I had just gotten into the fandom I have loved the game for many years, but it never went beyond playing the game and watching YouTube videos. I had never used Tumblr before and had never even heard of AO3. Wattpad was the only fanfiction website I knew about.

My point of saying that is that I am still knew to this. There are still things I'm learning and want to continue to improve. So, I am trying to have grace with myself for my lack of consistency and plotting.

It is still on hiatus, until I finish Soul Bound, I likely won't write for it at all.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Michaela Laws playing Seduce Me 2: The Demon War on Sunday is going to single handedly resurrect the Seduce me fandom just like when she played the first game. I just know it.

LETS BE REAL.

So I’ve been thinking about what the characters (specifically the 5 brothers) in seduce me the otome would look like in real life and had a few questions and headcannons about the characters.

So I was just coming up with a genre called..

What would the characters look like and be played by if it was a live action film?

First up… JAMES ANDERSON! 💛

The eldest son yet freakiest son, I actually had one specific person in mind and that is Cilllian Murphy.

I mean COME ON?! I would say it fits in a way..

PSA: THESE ARE JUST HEADCANONS!! 💛

When I was a kid, I ate a doughnut that I accidentally left outside. It had ants on it and I think my kid brain either didn't notice the ants or thought that those were sprinkles...

Despite my older sister telling me to spit it out, I swallowed it.

Yeah, I was a dumb kid.

I do not feel sympathy for Michaela Laws.

This is sort of a vent post (and likely the only post I'll ever make about Yansim since anything else I could say has probably been said by several other people), so feel free to scroll past this if you're not interested.

If you are, then proceed below. (Tw for grooming)

A few days ago, Michaela Laws resigned from her role as Ayano Aishi from Yandere Simulator after learning that its developer had groomed a minor. I want to first make clear that I am glad that she left, and she did the right thing by leaving. However, all I could keep thinking was one thing: Why did it take her this long?

So many people already knew about how horrible Alex Mahan (aka Yandere Dev) was. Surely someone must have told her-

Oh wait.

I found out that multiple people did, in fact, tell her about his past actions. Her response was to defend him, and then she doubled down on defending him when she was informed of the more current actions that Alex had committed at the time.

If you don't believe that's her, the post is still up on Tumblr via this reblog and here. Michaela knew about all of this as far back as 2017.

I find it most interesting that in these screenshots and posts, she referred to everyone who despised Alex as "anti-dev masses," and she ignored the things he said and did because she is, in her words, "an intellectual who can separate fiction from reality."

She even claimed that the people telling her that he treats women differently (which he does) are "sexist," even when said people told her that he very well could have hurt other people even if he was nice to just her.

The cherry on top of this is her unironic usage of the term "SJW," which tells me everything that I need to know about this. And you know what? Her saying in her resignation tweet that she still hopes that the game gets completed makes perfect sense to me now despite how out of place it feels compared to everything else. If she believes in separating fiction from reality, then she likely believed that she could still separate content from the creator.

In Alex's case, I strongly disagree with that notion, but what feels more contradictory is this other statement in the tweet:

I did not join to be a defender or arbiter of anyone's actions outside of the project.

However...That is literally what Michaela did. As I said, she defended Alex because of the "rumors" being spread about him.

She doesn't get to cry on Twitter about things turning out like this when she willingly claimed that Alex was only getting so much bad attention because "people don't like him."

She was the one who said "don't believe everything you hear." It was her who downplayed Alex's actions as "mistakes" or "accidents," and she claimed that he is "just a guy trying to make a game and be a game developer."

She doesn't get to backtrack now and pretend that she didn't knowingly defend Alex and stick by him for six more years after the making of that Tumblr post.

It took her six years and another minor after sisefs getting hurt for her to acknowledge what most people who knew about Yandere Simulator already knew about this man - That he is a terrible human being.

To be clear, I am not putting any blame on Michaela for what happened to the victims. I do not believe that she could have known about the current victim, or even the past one at the time of when the information came to light. Also, I do appreciate her giving support to all of the victims involved and correcting her previous statement since some (myself included) thought that she was perpetuating victim-blaming. However, that is as much benefit of the doubt that I could possibly give her. As for everything else? I cannot do that, and here's why:

It is my belief that she was well aware of what she was doing, and she either didn't see anything wrong with what Alex did or just didn't care until she finally realized how badly this all reflects on her now that Alex has been shown up-front once again to be an awful person (I also believe that this is connected to the backtracking in her resignation tweet as well).

Basically, my frustration comes from how far things had to get before she finally decided to denounce Alex and his actions.

She made her choice. Given that she previously claimed that she does not care about trying to look better and said that she would delete attempts to "sway" her about Alex, it seems clear that this was also the hill that she was willing to die on. Well, look where that got her. I cannot, for the life of me, understand how she didn't expect that a terrible person with a rightfully terrible reputation would end up doing something even more terrible, and that she was willing to ignore everything up until now. I don't understand how she didn't think that this would also negatively affect the game by association of the developer, but at this point, whatever happens to the game doesn't matter nearly as much as what Alex has done and likely will continue to do since it's been proven time and time again that he will never change as a person.

So no, I don't feel sympathy for Michaela Laws. I don't feel bad about her saying that she stuck with this game for almost ten years despite sticking up for Alex and sticking by him for six of those years. She did this to herself, and Yandere Simulator is probably something that she will be connected to for a long time since she is well-known as the voice of the game's main character. She could have left sooner, but chose not to and made it clear that she didn't want to until the truth had to be shoved right in front of her face.

So for that, Michaela only has herself to blame.

Edit:

I would like to add this Twitter thread that proves the point I was making here.

Michaela, three years after the Tumblr post I linked, straight up admits that she doesn't care about what Alex does, and she accuses a victim of Cryaotic (another groomer) of lying.

Even if Michaela apologized for the latter bit, it just goes to show that she was more than willing to ignore what people told her about Alex and still stand by him and the game.

This whole thing is a recurring trend with her. Had Alex not been exposed again, she probably would still be defending him even now.

She isn't sorry about being a part of the project at all.

And if she isn't sorry, then I don't feel sorry for her either.

Okay. I wanna see something.

Hi Seduce Me fandom and fans, young and old! Yes, you sweet teens, I’m waving to you all as well!

Kindly share…

A) the character you first went for in the game (and I mean, ANY! Human or not, villain or not!)

B) the character you related to the most when you first played

C) the character you personally relate to, right now (even if it’s the same as B!)

(My answers, and more, under the cut)

Hey! So context: I played the 1st game at 16, watched playthroughs of the sequel, and have been on and off on Seduce Me Tumblr.

So mine are A) Diana, B) Mika, and C) Matthew !

For A) Diana: She is still the most intriguing character for me. Her drive, her madness, her ways of navigating leadership and love… woah. And I haven’t even read the most recent prequel book that Laws wrote for her! And to think she started as just ‘the villain who takes your man…’

B) is kinda interesting for me… and for whoever ends up being my therapist. Almost every person who writes analyses and headcanons for the Mika character can TELL that the original Mika is indeed more human than we first expected. And everyone including me has been exploring Mika’s traits, most being the results of a harsh upbringing and the load of expectations, from family legacies and just… society.

C) despite the fact that I first attached real hard to Damien early on, to the point of choosing my masculine name from him… I’ve come to realize I’m more like Matthew now. He’s been the person who figured out how to make a mask that’s more earnest and genuine to how he feels. He’s been the person who goes through multiple emotions and skills, it could almost make him look like different characters at different times. I’d love to take time to really delve into how he is and figure myself out in the process. Key word: time. To which I don’t have much, and I don’t even spend it that well.

So… yeah. Just interested to see how everyone else feels. Whether you’re new to this game, new to life as a teen or adult… welcome! And good luck with everything.

And to end with more Reality talk: we do what we can. What LITTLE we can. We always start small.

… for example, I started small by writing poems in my journals, just to myself. More small steps later, and here I am, okay to take impromptu voice acting and singing commissions, WITH original writing possible, to raise money for mutual aid funds.

Laws started small, too, and here she is, with a creative career and support across at least 2 circles of creative workers!

Do what you can, the small things. You got this!

I miss Seduce me the Otome, I miss my babys I wonder how they’re doing :(

A prequel is coming…

[davekat-sucks]

Sorry for bothering you, haha. I wanted to add on irt Michaela and her victim blaming tweet because some people think she's not being a victim blamer and is "just trying to give internet safety advice". This isn't the first time she's said cruel things like this. She also defended Cryaotic and called the victim a liar, lashing out at everyone who confronted her. twitter.com/TheCocoAgain/status/1707258805472346453

NTM she KNEW about all the controversies surrounding the developer and threatened to "publicly shame" anyone who tried bringing it up to her or any of the other people on the team.

I've taken issue with Michaela for years because this shit and I'll admit I'm afraid to talk bad about her publicly myself. I'm a much smaller creator and I'm scared that she might get my voice actor friends to turn on me.

I'm not surprised a voice actress like her would get a bit of an ego just because she voices a character in a popular series. I had heard about her defending Cryaotic before.

[seducemefanficsandheadcanons]
