Eri is at least semi fluent in English. Her parents moved to the US so she tried to learn English to impress them and get them to love and spend more time with her. Obviously though, that didn't work...

One apple a day keeps Mark away *throws an apple towards Mark's face* And that's all my friends :D

Oh Anon... bold of you to assume that an apple a day would keep Mark away. :D

Number 19 and 28 for the ask game??

Hello, Mrs O! Thanks for the ask! (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?

Oh gosh lol. I no longer remember when I started haha. I think I wrote my first fic when I was 12? It was a self-insert Beyblade fanfic written in a notebook lmao (⁠*⁠﹏⁠*⁠;⁠) I just wanted to come up with scenarios about my anime obsessions so I wrote xD

But I really got involved in writing in my later teens, and then when I discovered a fic that blew me away in terms of the writer's use of language. I was like, Oh, I didn't know you can do that. (It was also because of that fic author that I got big on reading.)

Writing doesn't come easy to me, so that's always a sort of a sore spot. I'm impatient, and my brain is faster than my hands. I usually finish my fic in my head instead of writing them down lol. I'm not really that confident about my writing. Of course, these are not uncommon among writers; I'm not really unique about my hangups haha. I've already made peace about them anyway. Sort of. I found some ways to overcome my writing self-esteem issues.

Now I'm enjoying writing fic! Especially in this fandom 🥰 I'd like to write something original too, though, and try to submit them in literary magazines or something. This got rambly haha.

28. Who is the most delightful character you’ve ever written? Why?

I used to draw manga before so my OCs were all delightful lol. But for fandoms I've written fic for, hmm, I gotta say Kambe Daisuke from FKBU because it's hilarious when you put him in situations that are outside his life experience (ep. 4 forevah). Ikepri Emma is a close second! I always have fun writing her in my fics. She's fiery and determined and smart! :D

❛ nightmare before christmas is a christmas movie. it’s literally in the title! ❜ (This is how you pick a fight with Sonia. But she'll argue it's both a Halloween -and- a Christmas movie! She's been a Jack/Sally shipper since she was a child)

            WINTER THEMED STARTERS. » still accepting!

    “...Is it?” she’ll boredly utter while idly glancing up at the wikipedia page of said movie, which she had accessed on her phone just mere moments earlier. Truth be told, Vivian couldn’t exactly recall the last time she had watched it, because the older she got, the more her interest towards Christmas movies gradually diminished, until the bare minimum she did was exchange gifts and attend a yearly special service held at the local Church both her and Judith attended.

   “I feel like five thousand years have passed since I last sat down and actually watched the whole damn movie, so you’ll have to forgive me if my memory of it is a little bit fuzzy, Nia-puff,” she then brings herself to admit. Of course, ‘five thousand years’ was simply an over-exaggeration on her part, but considering ‘Nightmare before Christmas’ didn’t have a hot 2D guy for her to simp over, she struggles to remain interested in it.

    “Does Jack end up getting the girl? ...In other words, is he a normie? Depending on your answer, of course, I may or may not watch it with you.”

Idia drabble, fluff, lots of couple banter

Your wishlist containing released games is empty.

In the next several minutes after saving a title to one, you can expect a notification that the game is getting downloaded, and a mere seconds after that—several messages from your boyfriend.

“thought u would never play it lol”

“weren't you supposed to be studying??”

He sends a meme degrading your hierarchy of values as if he were any better. It is followed by a request.

“stream it to me when you play it”

And you do, after thanking him yet chiding him for wasting too much money on you without a second thought. His reply was a string of emojis and guarantee that he is doing it all for himself, because “educating you on the topic of latest games is his duty” and he cares about “the boyfriend points”.

“I hope my love’o’meter for u was broken by all that pampering lmao”

“waiting for my cg to load up…”

[NAME]: “not enough affection points”

“damn”

“i need a walkthroughyt to this route”

Idia has you join a voice channel, with you sharing your screen. Playing a game in a separate dorm is a whole different experience than having him beside you, with his hands almost trembling to grab your controller if you couldn’t get past a certain level.

He would always wait for you to ask him for help, though. Then he could let the feeling of self-satisfaction sink in as he easily guided your character to another enemy to slash.

If he only has you on the voice chat, you might be able to finish the game almost fully by yourself.

You can hear the soft sound of his keyboard as he plays something as well. He divides his attention between you and his entertainment, and he throws in commentary to your playthrough, teasing you when you can’t find a secret key to the special gate, bullying you when you find the puzzles too hard, or when you pick the wrong dialogue option.

At some point, you might try to (playfully) mute his microphone, but you can only have eight seconds of silence before he hacks into the options.

“No need to be jealous of my gaming knowledge,” he exclaims, and you know he has that big stupid grin on his face. You huff, and he hums. “But if you want me to help, all you need to do is just ask.”

“I want to go through this game myself!”

“Okay, sure. But you know you have already missed the opportunity for the best ending, no?” He laughs. “That’s what you get for muting me, kitten.”

No need to spoil the ending just to get back at me, you’d love to say, but you learned that the shy boy who couldn’t hold your gaze several months ago is actually a big tease. You must’ve grown too much on him, as he would have continued the bickering even if you showed up in his room. No social anxiety towards you—that’s a bit of a shame, he was cute when you first started dating.

…Well, Idia you know now is a cutie as well, even if he can be very annoying sometimes.

“Enough. I’m going to play my otome games, bye.”

You log out, and shut the stream, chuckling all the time. A funny feeling tingled your heart, like always when you won (or have you?) in banter in Idia: your heart is warm enough to probably melt through the ribcage, but a subtle alarm rings in your head. Idia will probably take revenge for this.

He must already be in distress. He doesn’t like you playing otome games alone, as if you could have ever preferred a 2D boy over Idia. The thought makes you laugh.

You plop on your bed, unlocking your phone and tapping an icon of the name game you’ve installed. Although playing it with Idia would have been funnier, you are going to play him just out of spite.

…And after that, you will send him a wall of text about those handsome characters, because he needs to be updated on your current obsessions.

The title screen appears before everything crashes and the screen goes black. Several messages in neon-blue futuristic font colour appear one by one.

An error has occurred.

[sugar-glaze-donut]

you know what, fuck it

*proceeds to name every dating sim/ otome game I know*

(somewhat in alphabetical order + description with spoilers)

A date with death You get your soul targetted by a grim reaper, but you instead steal his soul and made him into your pookie wookie snookums <3 BTW you can get a pet in the game. Mine is a snake called Noodle :)

Blooming Panic it's Discord but with hot characters, a variety of side characters, a cute story, and Chat GBT but it's a sentient being. I think the last part spoiled one of the routes... oopsies :3

Bonely Hearts Club (Undertale AU Dating sim) They basically become your neighbour. The AUs in this are Undertale, Underfell, Underswap, Swapfell!Indigo and Horrortale! {it's still in its demo stages but it is very well made!}

Error 143 you, an adorkable hacker (who is your rival and you're salty about it), cheesy Romeo and Juliet dream the MC has but it has a high school twist to it

I love you! You like asparagus. ...oh! You also have an option to make multiple boys fall in love with you. By the way, did you know the MC (you) loves asparagus? There are friendship routes, romance routes, and a bad ending except it's not bad. This game is the English translated version of the original game (The original game is in Japanese. The link for the original game is here --> ❤️)

Killer Trait You get accused of committing a murder, and you team up with a person who is a serial killer himself. (The serial killer in question only kills criminals so... I think you're safe...?) Your bear cream bun gets run over :( {The game is still in its demo stages. The creator of the game announced that this game will NOT be completed during 2024 since they are currently concentrating on a different game. DO NOT ASK THEM "Oh! But can't you just do this game first?". IT'S VERY ANNOYING, ESPECIALLY TO THE CREATOR}

KLEIN V.01 "Just Monika" but Yandere isn't named Monika, nor are they human. They are an AI. A fucking AI. Like bro, I understand it's hard to talk to people but really? An AI Boyfriend app that tells you to ruin your sleep schedule for him? An AI Boyfriend app that hacks your phone? An AI Boyfriend app that KILLS one of your family members and almost kills your neighbour??? RED FLAG. RED FLAGS EVERYWHERE {this game is in its demo stages. The creator is slowly updating this game in chapters, so it might take a while to finish}

Light the Way (Luxiem fangame) The game remembers what you did. All of the hearts you've broken, your sins, and your actions. There are lots of achievements, memes, Romance, friendship and BAD ROUTES. This time, the bad endings actually hurt. 0/10 would not recommend doing the bad routes unless you want to be stalked by an alter ego of Yamino Shu :(

Obey Me (Original and Nightbringer ver) Original - You become the therapist of many men with trauma and insecurities. The men in question are fucking demons that have the power to shred you into grated cheese, but they instead decide to simp over you as the story goes on. (also did I mention that you'll die? No? Oh fuck-) Nightbringer - A continuation (?) of the Original Obey Me but in a completely different universe. That's right! You slip into the past, way before the main story happens, WAY before you were even born! Idk if there is a way to go home but hey! At least you have your wizard friend from your timeline with you :D

Our Life (Now and Forever & Beginnings and always) Both stories consist of you growing up with your love interest since childhood. There are many paths to take, lots of assets to use to customize your character, and many side stories for you to read! Personally, this is one of my favourites :D (Our Life: Beginnings and Always is complete but Our Life: Now and Forever is still in development!)

Please don't hate Christmas A Yandere x Christmas x Urban Legend Otome game. Do you like Paranormal stuff? Do you like lore that connects with the story? Are you alright with MCs with a sprite that is impossible to remove from the screen? Well, look no further! This game is perfect for you! (by the way, the whole game was made by the creator. Only by themself! Even the CGs and character sprites!! Isn't that amazing!?)

Saint Spell's Love Guide A normal week of magical school... you can be friends with someone, or fall in love with them. Wait... there's lots of CGs for each character? Complicated world-building and lore!?? Angst and cruel bad endings!!?? SHROOMS!?!?!? {Oh by the way, there's multiple ways to get killed in this game. Just make sure to be careful sweetie :3}

Where Winter Crows go A crow and a scientist named Crowe... cute Another one of my other personal favourites! The love interest is a very squeezable and adorable (yandere) scientist who cooks you good food :D All of the endings are well-written! And if you're a crazy bitch like me, you'll love one of the endings >:)

THIS IS PART 1 SINCE I CAN'T FIT EVERYTHING IN 😭

Devlog Update #2!

*checks calender*

Guys.

Guys, it's been a month.

HOW HAS IT BEEN A MONTH ALREADY?!

So much has happened and it feels like no time passed at all!

Alright-y then! First off, let's talk stats.

Since its mighty release during the Otome Jam 2024, the demo is sitting at 2,200+ download, has been added to 1,000 lovely libraries, and according to comments and reviews, people are loving it and wanting more!

At risk of sounding like a broken record, we cannot thank everyone enough for enjoying the demo so much and wanting to learn more about the boys. It truly warms our hearts; we never fathomed that it would gain an interest as big as it did! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

Okay, okay so enough of that – we promise we will leave the rest of the thank yous once the game is fully released

So let's summarize what’s happened in the last month dev wise!

Plotting commenced with writers already having planned out the key moments of each LI’s route

THE WRITING OFFICIALLY STARTED!!

Talking about writing, we have crunched the numbers and came to a figure of a minimum of 95k words for the full game

Each LI will have three endings to their name

The game will be partially voiced

A recent poll told us you wanna know ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about the game dev, The Boys, and just all the memes

Plenty of asks have come through about The Boy and we have enjoyed both giving and withholding info about them

Oh! And we have started creating the NPCs you will see in game!

So much has happened in such a small amount of time, and that’s in-between some of the team joining other jams and IRL stuff!

But there is one really big update that we wanted to share and that is...

OZ! Your best friend and confidant!

They are an asexual non-binary person who goes by any pronouns, but with a preference for they/him – also incredibly non-romanceable (sorry, we know they look amazing but they are your greatest platonic friend and won't be anything more than that).

(concept design may change)

Soon, so very soon we will be able to give you so many more hints of the game, but for now, we hope you enjoy theorizing what is going to happen and wanting to learn more about our darling boys!

[lovebirdgames]

hi hii !!! i have such bad bcb brainrot ever since the game came out so i was just wondering if you guys had a favorite LIs just in general or ones that were your favorites to write, develop, etc etc yknow ?? I can’t tell if you have biases or not😭😭

AGHHH ANON that's like asking us to choose between our kids. But I'm glad you can't tell because I know I don't enjoy things where the author has a clear preference, or otomes where they make it clear one boy is more "canon" than the others, because I always wind up liking a guy more off the beaten path. We like to view them all as equally valid.

But to try to answer your question in some form...and there's no way I'll be able to just talk about one boy without complimenting them all...I think of the LIs my favorite overall character is Poptart. He's too adorable and my fellow mello and I loved writing his story. But we both love Tom and acknowledge he's closest to our IRL type. I also love Tom with Cadence...and I also love Clark with Cadence because I enjoy rivals to lovers and tsunderes (his final CG makes me cry the most)...and I really really enjoyed writing Peter's chemistry and banter with Cadence. And Sam I have a soft spot for because he's quiet and subtly savage and super relatable with his love of music. Garth and Doug probably grew on me the most. Garth, when we gave him more flaws and a darker side, and Doug because I fell more for the himbo trope over time. Doug was like the shallow meme guy at first, but really came together as we went deeper with him, and he's one of the guys who makes us laugh the most.

Sorry to go on and on, everyone needs some kind of yearbook superlative hahaha. We love all of them for different reasons. <3

21st Century Time Travel Headcanons

Fandom: Ikemen Prince (otome game)

Featured characters: All

Genre: Shenanigans and Chaos

Rating: sfw

Word count: 555

Description: These are my thoughts and opinions on what they might do, what are your thoughts?

WARNINGS: | none? | mxw |

Clavis - He walks around writing down all the amazing tech and medicine to research and take back to recreate in Rhodolite. Bicycles? Bicycles. (Also up all night watching prank videos)

Chevalier - SOMEONE TAKE THIS MAN TO A BARNES & NOBLE. The Kindle app is a must.

Nokto, Licht, Gilbert, Clavis, Yves, (and one time) Sariel - Mistaken as cosplayers. Varying responses ensue.

Keith, Sariel, Licht, Yves, Rio, Luke, Chev - Love quiet hours traveling by train in the countryside. Reading, watching you sleep on their shoulder…

Clavis, Gilbert, Jin, Leon, Silvio, Nokto - Enjoy the chaos, energy, and challenge of traveling densely packed cities. It feels like an adventure.

The Bros - modern sports? sports cars? motorcycles? music and dancing? Enthralled.

Licht & Yves - Go to a concert hall and are astounded by the grandeur and new feeling of modern orchestral music (and both cry throughout.)

Gilbert & Chev - Would figure out technology (including Google Scholar) in an hour and spend the rest of the time researching 10000 topics.

Luke - Joins a save the bees rally. He buys everyone t-shirts that he forces them to wear.

Rio and Silvio - Spend half the time watching telenovelas

Yves - Modern recipes and cake/pastry designs would probably be fascinating to him. He cries when you sign him up for a cooking class with a professional baker.

Leon, Jin, Nokto, Clavis, Gilbert, Luke - love rollercoasters

Nice!Keith, Rio, Yves, Licht - hate them

Chev, Sariel, Alter!Keith, Silvio - might be persuaded to go if you wanted to, entirely to watch your reactions (Although Silvio is secretly terrified)

Jin, Silvio, & Sariel - Go to every winery they find. They single-handedly save one small vineyard from going under with a huge purchase and some excellent business advice.

Clavis - From the moment I was introduced to this gremlin, I have been cursed to judge every single meme I come across: Would Clavis like this? Imagine this loser’s glee spamming incomprehensible nonsense to everyone (and airdropping them to strangers to watch their reactions).

Licht, Sariel, & Keith - Have never been so at peace after discovering relaxing instrumental playlists on Spotify.

Jin & Nokto - Discover they love modern music and let you take them to a rave. Life changing.

Chevalier & Sariel - Are far too happy to use the silent mode on their phones. Everyone curses them when there’s emergencies (Clavis purposely got on the wrong train again).

Jin wanders into a martial-arts class. Walks out three hours later beloved by the kids and the teachers.

Rio & Luke - Goes to animal shelters and names all of them. Tries to smuggle out a puppy. Does not succeed. There may be tears.

Silvio - Loves NYC. In a different life he would have been born there.

Clavis - Comes across a street caricature artist and spends a gleeful two hours having them draw everyone from pictures off his phone.

Nokto, Jin, Leon, Silvio - Inflict their ignorant selves on helpless clubs every chance they get. Imagine them trying to learn how to dance???

Gilbert, Silvio, Sariel, Nice!Keith - Love museums. Gilbert asks the employees disturbing and inappropriate questions. Clavis is obsessed with the science museum. Begs to go back several times.

Who would be the best dressed? My guesses? Silvio, Yves, Chev, and Sariel would turn heads for sure.

IMPORTANT ADDITION: Who would love 80’s music the most?

Virtually all of them - Enjoy your efforts and excitement in explaining everything to them as much or even more than they are fascinated by it all themselves.

[marshmallowprotection]

okay okay so! I know it's not really talked much, I sure hope there's no questions repeating mine, but I wanna ask. What do you think are the RFA's biggest secrets that they keep to their grave because of how opposite it is to how they think or act?

i.e. Jaehee secretly having a thing for otome games and sometimes staying up overnight playing them. This is lowkey canon in my head.

God, I don't know. See, this is one of those questions where I could make it a silly answer or a serious one... and I'm not sure which way I'd rather take it. So, I suppose I'll make silly because I don't want to think about how dark some of those thoughts are.

I think Jaehee could very well play otome games. She seems like she would enjoy them for the story, though. I don't think she'd be deeply invested in the romantic aspect. She loves stories! She loves being able to get invested into a story because of something that hooked her in. God, help her the day someone asks Zen to voice a character in something. She'd be excited to learn more about that but, I think she'd only confess to playing it because of Zen being in it rather than her love of storytelling. Nothing to be ashamed of, I just think she's a little embarrassed.

Yoosung doesn't hide his love of cute things, in fact, he carries around a lot of cute stationary because seeing goofy characters makes his day. I imagine someone might try to say that's a secret that goes against his personality, but it doesn't. I just can't think of anything he'd hide from everyone.

Zen probably does like animals more than he's willing to admit. The reason why he acts up with his allergies around Elizabeth isn't just because of his on-sight sneezing in close proximity to cat dander or saliva, it's hugely in part because he won't allow himself to get closer to Jumin. He's set in his ways about Jumin, and having a reason to be far, far away from him is helpful. I feel like he likes animals, he'd just never admit it because of his dynamic with Jumin.

I don't see Saeyoung having a silly secret. He's got plenty of things he's going to take to his grave from his time in the agency, sure, but there's nothing I can imagine right now that he would try hiding from his loved ones. He's not an open book, but there's no reason for him to hide what he loves from you. I got nothing.

I don't think I have anything on Jumin because he is a character who enjoys things that go against his archetype. He loves learning about memes and using them when you least expect him to do something like that, he enjoys studying and even talking the supernatural even if it goes against logic and reason, he loves making meals with his love even if they're a little messy! Jumin doesn't have secrets like that. It's not like he tries to hide these things from everyone, either, they just don't ask and he doesn't see a need to open up to the others since he is often met with strange looks.

I can't think of anything for Jihyun, either. People have a hard enough time understanding him as it is, and him enjoy hiking doesn't seem like something this man could do because he's not been drawn with the hiker legs I know he'd realistically have.

See, Saeran isn't the type to hide things, either. He's not going to lie about something or keep it a secret. He wants to be open with others and while there are things he'd probably only admit to his brother or to his MC, he's not keeping things to himself anymore. He's much too honest, and he doesn't have the notion of feeling embarrassed about something given the fact he wasn't raised to be ashamed of anything like most people are.

Rika consumed a lot of idol music and enjoyed musical theater for the longest time before everything went south. But, you know, I've always had this feeling that she loved Christian Rock and used it to cope with her religious trauma. There's just something silly about the idea of Rika sitting alone in a car, blaring music we've all heard used for a SasuNaru AMV in 2007 before. I don't think she'd admit that's what she does... mainly because she's lying to everyone and herself. She thinks it goes against her cultivated personality.

Vanderwood listens to the most bubblegum pop music you've ever heard in your entire life and he will not admit it.

OBEY ME(otome game)

[actualbird]

pardon me! I wanted to try the game tears of thermos, but I’m a little nervous since I don’t play these type of games. Do you have any advice on how to best enjoy myself and invest in its world/characters?

hi anon!!! im so glad you wanna try out tot!!! i do have some tips, but before i go there i must inform you that autocorrect mustve done something to your message because you said tears of thermos and i cldnt rest until i edited a meme of that

sjfhavkkHJVKJHJKSD OKAY ANYWAY, TIPS!!!!

im particularly interested in how you worded this ask!! ive had a lot of people ask me tips on how to start tot (and the relevant ones, i'll link in this ask too) but never on a narrative investment/immersion angle. so my tips for this will be a bit different

but before that, here are my past tips from my tot tips tag

general tips for a newbie (gameplay tips and story tips)

how to "predict" upcoming events

tot stories in chronological order (only updated til july 2022)

now for your question i guess my biggest tip would really just be to treat tears of themis like a visual novel that just so happens to update with more stories.

idk how much of a newbie you are to this genre, but when i got into this game i had NEVER played any other otome before in my life. so it was all new to me!! and i basically treated it like an updating visual novel, this is My Method, and that got me quite invested (as is obvious from my entire blog). so when i say "treat it like a visual novel" i mean:

im personally not particularly a card completionist or a gacha enthusiast. which, hell yeah, this game wont bankrupt me LOL. but also, since cards are the main way where new nxx boy stories are released through, for any card i dont have, i just watch it on youtube. because basically every card, event plot, minigame, etc gets uploaded by someone a little bit after its release. so if youre bummed you missed an event card but you dont really Want the card, you just want its story, just search it on youtube!! search [card name/event name] + [whichever language dub you prefer] + tears of themis and voila! new story for you to read!!!

if you want plot = read Main Story. this is where all the heavy main plot happens and it is SO GRIPPING AND RIVETING.

if you want character development and relationship development between mc and each boy = read Personal Story Bloom Chapter, and then the respective nxx boy's Anniversary 1 card, Personal Story Sweet Chapter 1 and 2, and then the respective nxx boy's Anniversary 2 card. the personal story routes (aka the routes where mc eventually ends up with the boy romantically) are where a BULK of characterization and character development happens, imo

if you want romance and oneshot dates = explore the available cards!!! the tot wiki has an archive of all the available cards per boy on each of the characters' main pages. for example, here's luke's page. scroll down to the cards section and Behold. Luke Stories As Far As The Eye Can See

these pages dont have the story transcribed in them, but theyre great to use as a directory or a map of cards. so if any of the cards catch your eye, then take urself to youtube to find the card and voila (again)! new story for u to experience!

(note: SSRs always have a full 6 act story. SRs either have a 6 act story that is unvoiced, OR 2 voice messages. MRs always have 2 voice messages. R cards have no story and no voice messages)

if you want nxx team dynamics = read and/or play the events!!!! this is my favorite thing, the tot events are a treasure trove of fun cases and awesome team dynamics. in the game itself, some of the big events are available as DLC for anybody to play themselves at any time. to get there, X-NOTE Story -> lower and rightmost button Event -> upper and rightmost button Past.

if theres anything i would reccommend the MOST, itd be to download and pllay the event Mysteries of the Lost Gold. it's so good. it's my favorite event story. trust me on this

i hope these tips can help!!! happy playing :DDD

I don't know these have already been asked, but how about Claude/Hilda, Claude/Lorenz, and Dimitri/Marianne?

Claude/Hilda: Another instance of "I see the appeal, it's just not for me". I have a few issues with how Hilda (and House Goneril in general) are written, and the C-Support in Houses brings back those feelings especially. I do love how they call each other out on their masks though. I kind of wish we saw more of their bond outside their supports. Something that really emphasizes why she'd choose to follow Claude. They're so close to being great, but it's just missing a lot of extra flavor.

Claude/Lorenz: Okay, so I know there's a bit of a meme regarding shipping Ferdibert being like "you are a firm believer in the romantic courtship rituals of Pride and Predjudice", but I feel like we often sleep on how much that sentence can apply to these two as well. I love the way they banter, how Claude actually gets caught off guard by Lorenz once in a while, and how eventually they come to respect each other as leaders of their respective nations. Kinda sad we didn't get an option to have these two enter a political marriage. The shenanigans would be insane.

Marianne/Dimitri:

They remind me of sad routes in an otome game where the heroine and the tragic love interest manage to overcome everything to be together. I can't stop crying.

Hey Hey!!!

As the description of this blog states, this is my safe place to talk about all things Otome (mainly the Ikemen series by Cybrid)! I'm still not exactly sure what I'm going to do on here, but expect a mix of route reviews, opinion posts, memes, and other shit like that. Feel free to ask me anything or suggest games for me to check out!!!

Disclaimer

This is an 18-plus blog!!!! I'm 99 percent sure on the app store it says that all the cybird games are 17-plus, so I just decided to round up to the legal age of adulthood in my country! Also, I know these games deal with some pretty heavy topics (some handled good, some not so much) so I will definitely try and add trigger warning to any of my posts that deal with such topics! If I miss adding a warning to something that could potentially be triggering, please reach out and tell me so that I can add it! I want this blog to be a fun place for people to discuss the games they love while also keeping it a safe place!

My history with Otome :D

I started playing otome games years ago. I'm not even joking. I remember when Arthur's English route was released and that being a big deal in the Fandom. I was also around before Ikemen Revolution was discontinued (fly high my sweet prince). What I'm basically trying to say is that I'm ancient and have been around the block a few times. I've downloaded and deleted and re-download Cybrid games since I've been in middle school (definitely too young to be exposed to that kind of content, but that's what happens when you have unrestricted access to your electronic devices). Despite the fact that I've been in the Fandom on and off again for years, I haven't actually finished that many routes. I intend to use this blog as a way to change that. If im constantly posting about it, then I can't procrastinate playing the games :D

Games I intend to post about

To be completely honest, I'm still not 100 percent sure of all of the games I want to talk about here. However, the current list is:

Ikemen Sengoku (the first Cybird game I ever played)

Ikemen Revolution (yes, I know the game was discontinued, but I prefer to live in my fantasy world and pretend that it'll get an update one day)

Ikemen Vampire (my personal favorite otome game I've ever played)

Ikemen Prince (the last time I was really into Cybird games, I'm pretty sure this one had just been released? I've never played it)

Ikemen Villians (I had no idea this game existed until yesterday when I decided to make this blog)

Mystic Messenger (probably not as much as the others, but I downloaded this game in middle school and have refused to delete it ever since despite the fact that I probably haven't played it in 3 years)

Dangerous Fellows (My favorite fever dream)

Cinderella Phenomenon (If this game has no fans, then I am dead)

Obey Me (I was developing normally as a child until I found this game. I still love it, though)

Tell me, in as much detail as you like, why you love Diasomnia 💜

Oh! Thank you so much for this ask! I'm super excited to answer it. I waited until I finished Part V of Book VII. I'm done now, so let's get started!

Warning: Mild spoilers for Book 7 up to where the ENG server is (Part V).

Reasons Why I Like Diasomnia

They're based on Maleficent

Without question my favourite classic Disney villain is Maleficent. I love how she's terrifying, powerful, and is easily an actual threat in her movie. There is weight to her words, actions, and abilities that always made her more threatening to me as a child than some other villains.

However, my love for her blossomed further thanks to her role in Kingdom Hearts. I absolutely love how in the KH lore she's been scheming since moment one (even before we met her in KH1, all the way back in KHUx). I consider anything in Kingdom Hearts canon to the overall Disney arching universes. This means any time I see Maleficent in other media I think, "Oh! She's also after Kingdom Hearts!"

This meant that naturally when I first started Twisted Wonderland I had to pick Malleus as my first card ever!

Aesthetic - Sleeping Beauty

I think that out of all the Disney princess movies nothing beats Sleeping Beauty's backgrounds and overall aesthetic. I know a ton of love went into creating and designing that movie and it shows! It's all breath taking and lives rent free in my brain. It's also why when Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep finally let me run around that world as Terra/Ven/Aqua, I was So Excited.

Twisted Wonderland doesn't disappoint and has brought the aesthetic to Diasomnia perfectly, especially with the dorm. I love it with all my heart!

Diasomnia's OST

This is on the list because I love the dorm's theme so much. It's so hauntingly beautiful! Also, because I can't stop making Kingdom Hearts references, it has some similarities to a song from BBS that plays when you visit Sleeping Beauty's world called The Silent Forest.

Malleus is one of my favourite character archetypes

We're now at the heart of why I love Diasomnia: Malleus. Look, I took one look at Malleus and went "Oh no, he's my character type". Design wise, I think he has the most "at a glance" recognizable traits that link him to Maleficent. That instantly drew me in to his character because, as I said before, Maleficent is my favourite.

Malleus is also an over powered character and I am always drawn to them. It's usually because they're also confident. While Malleus certainly is confident, he has depths to his personality. He's a little awkward but earnest. He sometimes doesn't "get" human things but he tries to understand. Malleus also has a niche (and a little bit dorky) passion for gargoyles that's so endearing. I love it.

He also wants a friend so badly that it's really cute our player character/Yuu was able to befriend him since Book 1. Of course, it's lead to my favourite meme "Malleus doesn't realize Twisted Wonderland isn't an otome game". Which, honestly, good for him! He deserves friendship AND love!

They're Fae

I am such a sucker for Fae in literature. Ever since I read the script for A Midsummer Night's Dream in high school, I was hooked. My favourite part to Fae are the "spirited away" elements because I'm also a sucker for wishes having the theme "This is a gift. It comes with a price". While Diasomnia don't have that classic trickster element to them, they're Fae and that's enough for me!

Lilia and Silver's relationship

Coming off reading Part V for Book VII what I love the most about their relationship is how raising Silver helped Lilia heal from the worst moments of his life. The character arc and growth from Lilia is so satisfying and heart-warming. Especially when it would have been so easy for Lilia to hate Silver and all he "stood for". Yet, despite all Lilia lost in the fight between the humans, we see him willingly and lovingly raise Silver as his son.

Yes, this is the "Big FF Term" (Found Family) aspect of Diasomnia that I know many people love. However, I can't stand the term "Found Family" any more because I think fandom needs to have that term put on a shelf until they learn how to use it properly.

Diasomnia's Unique Magic/Signature Spells

I love that for the most part they all have a common theme present and that's Dreams/Memories. Malleus with his literal ability to create a Lotus Eater Machine, Lilia with his ability to read imprint of memories off objects, and Silver's ability to cross/travel dreams is so cool!

Even if Sebek's may appear to "break the trend" I think his Unique Magic/Signature Spell being so straightforward shows he's not giving up on his goals/dreams/ambitions.

Malleus's overblot theme

Like all the housewardens, Malleus has a theme at the core of his overblot: grief when faced with change (death) of something you hold dear. It's a theme that speaks to me strongly and tugs at my heartstrings. It's the core to so many series that I hold near and dear to my heart such as FMA, Fruits Basket, Anohana, and To Your Eternity.

What do we do when faced with death? How do we react to it? Why can't we just keep clinging onto what we hold dear and never have it change? Those are some deep, heavy questions that define the human experience and to make Malleus, someone who is not human, have to face those questions? I think it's genius and this theme would not have gone over as well with any other dorm in my opinion.

And there you have it! My reasons why I like Diasomnia so much! I hope you like my answers, friend! Let me know!
