#sorry about the gacha ranting

[lilithrebellion]

Another $500 of Yui merch😅

And translations of all the message cards I have under the cut!

However, due to Gacha BS I still somehow didn't get about half the messages despite ordering 65 whole cards??? That's half the value of the order?? There should be 28 total, and even accounting for unspoken rarity bs (wtf rejet??) that I did know about when deciding how to order this is just weird... Like, I'm still missing one D rarity card despite FORTY out of all the cards being Ds. WTF???

Anyway, on to the translations!

#1-B: "I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm sure it'll work out!" (😭😭😭 Yui always with saying exactly what I need to hear and making we not just believe it, but want to make it happen. For her. Specifically.)

Saw a picture of #1-C, and the message/translation is: 「これ以上吸われたら 困っちゃうよ……！」 "If you drink anymore, I'll be in real trouble...!" (I like to think she says this to mess with Amaya sometimes because she would JUMP in the cutest way (in Yui's opinion lol)😂)

#1-D: "Are you trying to cheer me up?" (Is it working? *eyebrow wiggle*😉heehee)

#2-C: "...Are you worrying about me?" (Always😭😭 But somehow, she does always make me feel like no matter what, everything will be okay. (See 1-B))

#2-D: "I can tell how kind you are." (Because of you, always. You're the one who makes me want to be better.🥺)

#3-A: "I'm really looking forward to going shopping with everyone!" (Server buddies!! You heard Yui, we're going on a shopping group date, asap!!😁😁) (Also, why was this 4/5 of my As? I do love her expression in this but I really couldn't get to see more of the other ones? 😭)

#3-B: "Were you keeping me in mind...!?" (You're on my mind virtually every moment of my life.😊)

#4-D: "I'm glad that you seem to be having fun!" (How could I not have fun getting messages from you!❤️)

#4-B: "I never said you could drink from anywhere!?" (She's messing with Amaya again lmao)

Also saw a picture of #4-D, which is: 「今日の思い出も、絶対に忘れないよ。」 "There's no way I'd forget the memories we made today." (Neither will I. Every moment with you is priceless.)

#5-A: "Maybe I should try saying 'I love you' too?" (KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍)

#5-B: "I wanted to spend today with you no matter what." (We can spend as many days together as you want!!)

#5-C: "I'm plenty happy just being with you." (The feeling is mutual😭😭😭)

#5-D: "You're going to drink from there too...!?" (Yui, you are going to kill your girlfriend with the teasing😂)

#6-C: "Maybe I'll tease you once in a while?" (Ngl I was legit combusting for a few minutes when I saw this one. Anyway if you doubted my previous assessments, yeah no. It's canon. She would.😂 Also it's the design where she has the fangs??? omg... >///////<)

#6-D: "I'd be happy if we could spend every day together." (Yui said Every Day Means Every Day and I am helpless but to oblige😁)

#7-C: "This might be a little embarrassing...! Does it suit me?" (ABSOLUTELY!!!😭😭😭 You look perfect in anything because you're the more beautiful person to ever exist🙇🙇🙇)

#7-D: ""We'll always be together. Promise?" (YES!!!!! ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!! YOU ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!! 💕💕❤️💍❤️😍💘😍❤️💍❤️💕💕 and I have 14 copies of this card to show for it!!!)

Aaaaand that's everything I have! (btw I used my sasakoi tote bag as the photo taking background lmao. What? It works. Can't escape from the yuri in my house😂) Will try to update this if I ever manage to buy the missing ones on resale or come across pictures on the interwebs!🫡

[ros-sauce]

can I say something

The statement "Mizuki isn't explicitly confirmed to be trans" is true, and it is very okay for people to say that, I think. Because it is true. While the very unsubtle messaging obviously points to that conclusion, colopale has yet to say the word "transgender". For about five minutes post-mizu5, this statement was not an aggravating one, because everyone who said it was making a great point, which boils down to: This was not a fantastic move on colopale's part, please for the love of god stop using the """mystery""" of her identity to stay as marketable as possible, it's really not a good look. Writing 95% of a trans story and then being wishy-washy about sledgehammering the reader in the face with the final 5% that is the conclusion the writing has been hinting at for the past 4 years is A Choice, Alright.

NOW, however, half the time I see people mention that there hasn't been explicit confirmation, it makes me So Mad. Because all of the new people who have picked up that phrase seem to be doing so from a place of bias. The sentiment carried by the phrase lately doesn't feel quite as much like "colopale is cowardly for this", and is more often holding one of these two things:

"Subtext isn't valuable", which hurts me deep in my soul as someone who thinks using your brain is probably a little important to your continued survival and growth as a person. The curtains are blue for a reason. The anime girl is frequently featured with a pink/white/blue color palette and speaks with noticeable vocal twang and sang The Transgender Song and was visibly hurt by being told "Are you sure you're not making a mistake?" and "You're just pretending to be something you're not for funsies, aren't you?" for a reason. Please. Plweas e

"So stop insisting that she's transfem because I don't like it", which hurts me deep in my soul as someone who thinks human decency is probably a little important to your continued being a tolerable person who doesn't make the world worse. Please critically examine your own biases. You probably almost definitely have them. People who aren't violent transphobes love to think they are free of sin, but no one is free of sin, you might very well be a nonviolent transphobe. Because bias has been drilled into your skull since you were born and no one's skull is strong enough to withstand a drill. Check yourself. Please. Plweas e

None of these thoughts are ones that haven't been had before. Sorry for making you read something other people have already said better. They had to come out of my mouth so I didn't explode from rage. You understand.

[cursedalthoughts]

the problem with manjuu imho is that they fall into one main faction for a while and just run with it, which can lead to perceived biases when in reality they probably dont have biases. idk i also think assuming they're biased towards any faction isn't a very healthy mindset but it also appears they're a bit lazy and pick a faction and run with it for like a year or so. two HMS URs almost back to back for example after ~2 years of no events (except a minor one i think), and when they start breaking that mold and try new things people whine and seethe and shit themselves.

just look at the drama with Yorkie II and BisZwei, which is why im oh so tired of the fandom so i hope they give the IB Treatment™️ to the Iris/Vichya, and that next year we get Sun Yat-sen as the first Dragon Empery UR PR, and that to cure Amagi of her illness the Sakura give her the II/Zwei treatment and we get UR CV Amagi who is the Goddess of Fluffy Tails

if that makes sense.

as i've said multiple times i don't simp for a single faction, and i genuinely, honestly want to see two french URs like Implacable/Vanguard. it's what the people deserve, and then 2 Sardegna URs as well, and then two more USN URs, etc.

I don’t think the concept of racism exists much besides Aion’s “rodent” comments to Crow because if not nearly everyone would be a racist

୨୧ BLUE LOCK BOYS AS BFS pt. 2

ft. chigiri hyoma, reo mikage, & sae itoshi

tags. a bit of cussing, the use of “blackmail” in reo's part is used jokingly (no toxic relationships here!!), reader implied to have longish hair in chigiri's, gn!reader, all fluff ! / author's note. thank you sm for the support on the first part!!

CHIGIRI HYOMA

loves doing his haircare routine on you, and if you're too tired, he'll be a sweetie and do it for you! as much as he loves skincare routines, but his hair is his top priority.

tests new hairstyles on you and you pull every one of them off, but when he tries them on himself, he's upset about how they don't look as good on him as they did on you.

plays those random dress up games online, (gacha life) and makes you and him.

has disney movie night marathons with you! his favorites are definitely tangled, (totally not because he just wonders how she takes care of that much hair) frozen, the little mermaid, and lilo and stitch. sets up the couch with lots of pillows, blankets, and snacks to make sure you're comfortable! you end up not using half of them and just use him as a pillow the whole time.

wakes you up early (which you don't mind) on sundays so you guys can go to the local farmer's market. people running the stands compliment you two for being such a cute couple! chigiri buys lots of fruit while he's here, (he believes farmer's market fruit is the best, he's right) especially strawberries. he also likes going to strawberry fields with you to pick strawberries during the sunset.

would love to adopt a cat with you! (canon that his favorite animal is cats! sorry if you don't like cats) has a whole list of names planned in his notes app and a bunch of toys he plans to buy for the cat.

REO MIKAGE

a little cliché, but look at anything for a little longer than one second and he buys it for you. i mean, what else is he supposed to do with all of his money? if you could fill a room with all of the things he's brought you just because you looked at it, you would need multiple rooms.

his whole ‘hidden’ photos folder is full of silly photos he has of you just for a little laugh every once in a while. (totally not to use as blackmail and to send them out of the blue to you) truthfully though, he doesn't think you have a single bad photo.

has a dedicated section in his closet full of clothes for you whenever you stay over at his house mansion. (bro probably has a walk-in closet that could be a size of a small bedroom)

two words, staring problem. just having a conversation with him, and his eyes are burning into your face, carefully listening to every word as if you're giving a very important speech. (which you are in his mind) you could be talking to a friend across the room, and he will be staring and pouting, waiting for you to hurry and come back to him. point is, man is staring at you 24/7.

although you two are dating, still stalks you on social media. (shamelessly) deadass one day he got up to use the bathroom and he left his phone on the bed, and you decided to peak at his phone, (not trying to be noisy, just curious) and saw that he was looking at the instagram highlight you had that was photos of you. you never let him live it down and still tease him relentlessly to this day.

holds your hand anywhere, anytime. while walking, sitting on the couch and chatting, while you guys sleep, literally anything. the warmth of your hand brings him comfort and makes him feel warm and fuzzy inside.

ITOSHI SAE

has a secret instagram account dedicated to you. posts all of his photos of you and the captions are just him ranting about how much he loves you. he blocks you to make sure you never find it because he's a little embarrassed. maybe he'll tell you about it one day though.

loves baking! his favorite thing to bake is muffins and bread, and let's you be the taste tester! request something for him to bake, and he makes enough to enjoy the rest of the month! if he ever needs to leave the house early for practice or meetings, you always wake up to a muffin, freshly cut fruit, and a note on the kitchen counter neatly set for you. on days he doesn't need to leave the house early, you wake up with breakfast in bed!

puts up with you and your shenanigans. hungry and too lazy to get up? he already prepared your favorite 10 minutes earlier. can't sleep? cages you into his arms and strokes your hair until you fall asleep. bag too heavy? he was already carrying it. you're the only person he'll put up with.

although the doesn't quite know how to express his emotions with words, definitely does with his actions. to physical touch, gift giving, and just spending time with you, sae doesn't let his inability of expressing feelings with words stop him from letting you know how much he loves you.

needs you to give him a kiss before you or him leaves the house for anything. these kisses last a little longer depending how long he'll be gone. if he's leaving for a trip overseas, he kisses you until you're breathless and pulls away every few seconds to murmur an ‘i love you’.

loves going on walks while it's raining with you. brings an umbrella and makes sure you're bundled up, you can't get sick on his watch!

Eclipse's Birthday:

Human AU. Eclipse shares(/shared) a room with Moon. They use their character names, that'll be explained when the full AU releases.

(One day the whole AU will be posted somewhere, just to anxious. So let's take advantage of me having confidence!!)

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

Earth knocked on Eclipse's bedroom door, which was rarely closed when Moon was gone. "Eclipse?" she asked.

"Come in," she heard him say.

She opened the door, finding him curled up in a ball on his bed.

“Good afternoon,” his sister said with a smile. “How are you doing?”

He didn't respond, just stared daggers at her.

“Not good, I take it? Would you like to talk about it?”

He was silent for a moment, then looked to the side. “Five days,” he said.

“What?”

“It's been five days. Nobody said a word.”

“What happened? I'm not understanding.”

“Does anyone check a damn calendar in this house?! I expected this from those assholes but I thought you cared?!”

“Eclipse I-”

“June 1st was my birthday. I was completely ignored. Nothing. Not even ‘Hey you're older, hope you die faster.’.”

“Oh. I didn't know.”

“It's on the challender, in your therapy files, I even gave hints.”

“I'm so sorry. I can bake you a cake-”

“I don't care about cake or presents. I just wanted some attention. I know I'm not the best person but I got Sun and Moon gifts on March 24th, I for you a gift on April 29th, I visited Solar's grave with you all when it was his birthday, Bloodtwins’ birthday is July 16th, Lunar's is August 11th! Fuck I didn't do shit but I know Monty's is April 3rd! Is it that hard to remember something like a birthday?! To acknowledge the existence of someone who lives with you?”

“I'm so sorry-”

“Thank you, but kindly, fuck off.”

Earth’s eyes watered. She felt so bad for forgetting a birthday.

“I'm sorry… I'll leave.”

“Do whatever. I'm going back to arguing with some punk on Reddit.”

--------

(I had to take my medication during Eclipse's rant and I forgot where I was going with this.)

Explanation: Eclipse has ruined every relationship he has that nobody cares about him anymore. He's slowly building relationships back up after disappearing for three years but they're all still hurt.

Originally the plan for his birthday was only Miku cared so she showed up at like 2 am to say happy birthday and plan their whole day. He goes along with her after her constant whining and they have fun. But I didn't finish it in time and I decided to go with something more depressing.

Happy pride everyone!

Ima rant about the Minecraft movie cuz I’m bored

First off, I never liked the idea in the first place. I saw it was going to happen and knew immediately it wouldn’t be great. You can’t please the whole fandom. Everyone wants different things, especially with a “story less” game. (MC story mode Ik and the whole ender dragon I know but whatever besides the point)

Then the trailer comes out.

THAT PIECE OF SHIT-

I laughed through it. And not in “haha funny joke” no in “holy shit this is bad” the fucking borderlands trailer was better then this. That movie flopped so hard too.

First off, why is it live action? Animate it.

And if you INSIST on doing live action, at least fucking try. Worst green screen ever. Looked like a green screen kid on YouTube that filmed in his room wiht his brightness up at 11 pm.

Secondly, the outfits are sooo bad. I know Minecraft skins are supposed to be like a free representation or something but WHAT THE FUCK? That just looked horrible. I don’t even have a comparison. Besides didn’t they do the whole “wake up in a video game”? Who the hell wears that in real life, BE HONEST. I’m not one for outfit shaming or anything but seriously.

Adding to that, you ddint even make Steve recognizable. You had to make him SAY HES STEVE. I like Jack Black and all, but wrong choice.

Third. The plot.

They really went for the whole “wake up in a video game” trope. It’s literally jumangi. Again. I don’t even have to say more. There’s no coherent plot at all anyway! What’s the goal! What’s happening that makes this difficult?? WHATS THE HOOK? I could write a better Gacha story than that.

Fourth. The hell was that scenery. Didn’t look like Minecraft. At least try, okay?

And we aren’t discussing the sheep. That was.. bad.

Overall it just looked so unprofessional, like some teens all decided to make a Minecraft movie but worse than that.

And the obligatory apology to Minecraft story mode… I’m sorry for calling you dry and unpredictable, and your better then this. still don’t like the game tho-

I’m done. Might add to this. Idk.

[raymoo--hackery]

Oomf you are so fucking real for this.

Yes, Touhou does have a lot of room for interpretation and fans making silly things is all well and good.

The issue is that LW markets itself to such a huge audience, and everything they do is to essentially leech money off its players. It’s just so disrespectful imo.

So many new fans get into Touhou with LW, and they have HUGE misconceptions about the series that it kind of sucks!! Especially with how much LW presents itself as “official”, so a lot of people think it’s canonical

It’s so different from a small fan doujin because. That’s just a fan making something small and fun to appreciate the series, even if it’s OOC, and if you don’t like it, you can just ignore it (unless it gets the community in a chokehold like KKHTA, but that’s rare)

Plus, when buying and consuming doujins, you are supporting small artists who are making content simply out of love for Touhou

LW is just a soulless cash grab that is just trying to use the skin of Touhou to amass money. It is in no way on the same level as doujin.

This is the biggest reason why fans dislike LW so much. It’s marketed to such a broad audience and presented as “official”, when it’s hardly faithful to the canon. It’s just here for money and leeching off of its players. It doesn’t care at all for the original series nor the original characters, and with how huge it is, it deeply impacts a lot of people’s impressions on the Touhou series. THAT is why people dislike it.

It frustrates me at times when people are like, “well aren’t you being too harsh?”

Or placing LW on the same level as doujin.

It isn’t like that at all, and I have reasons to be peeved about LW.

So a while ago i posted this costume Kutaka has in LostWord, asking if anyone knew why the character who's stated goal is literally to raise the status of chickens so they arent just seen as cheap food, is delivering fried chicken

Never really got a concrete answer other than it maybe being vegan chicken or something But now the event this costume is from is doing a rerun in game, so i played some of it to hopefully learn why (im maybe a bit too invested in figuring out why the gacha game gave a character an outfit that contradicts their character)

But so far, there's literally no mention or acknowledgement of it lol. Kutaka and the other characters in the event (Nitori and Takane) just get these delivery outfits for their food delivery service, and noone says anything about it I dont know if its brought up later, but i dont really feel motivated to do the entire story right now So i guess it was just like, oh we need a kutaka food delivery costume, give her fried chicken cause chicken and lol Kutaka fried chicken kfc or something? Maybe im thinking too hard about it

Makes me just a little bit sad that they did this though. Kutaka is an interesting character who i think gets reduced to just "funny cute chicken" a lot, and the biggest fangame giving her an outfit like this just feels. eugh Especially looking at people's reactions to the costume, mostly just joking "oh chickens are cannibalistic" "oh its dark humor lol" makes me sad. Kutaka deserves better than this guys

[amphibimations]

Hello, I am sorry not sorry in advance but I just need to rant like a madman about Canto 6 and Heathcliff because OH MY GOD.

so, I forget if this was mentioned by anyone else but a major part of Limbus Company is Mirror Technology. Basically Multiverse Tech, allowing multiple versions of characters called Identities across multiple potential universe (It's how the Gacha is explained, it's a major part of the over-arching plot, you git the jist.) Well what do we see for the first time ever in Canto 6 Part 2?

THAT'S RIGHT, WE GET FUCKING BOOK HEATH!!!!

LOOK AT HIM! LOOK AT HOW FUCKING HAUNTED HE IS! Turns out he's travailing the multiverse to kill every Heathcliff because he considers himself Cathy's Murder and that she is destined to be miserable because of Heathcliff! Every like third line of his is a quote from the books it's great!

The best Part is that this man's a Boss fight in this part too! And He's really Hard! You really gotta manage his sanity well since if he wins too many clashes things can go bad really quickly, especially cause he will always full target Heath and get even stronger if he manages to get any hits in. Made even worse by the fact that if Heathcliff dies it's an instant loss so you really play this fight on a knife's edge.

And look how hard my boy is taking it! Throughout the entire fight Heathcliff is completely silent. no combat dialogue, no voice lines, no nothing. Even E.G.O's, this game's equivalent to limit breaks, which usually come with a unique voiceline, are completely silent for this fight. What's more, and I'm so upset I can't do this justice with images so you'll have to watch this after but each character has their own special story E.G.O with Heathcliffs being "BodySack". so at the end of the fight Heathcliff just starts wailing on Book!Heath over and over again and again to the point of breaking the UI while vowing to just tear down everything and everyone that shoved him down and got in between him and Cathy.

and it all culminates with a scene of Heath Distorting through his perspective. Now Dustortion is the other side of E.G.O's coin. they're the two options you're given when your entire world and psyche collapses, you can either move forward and gain an E.G.O or give into your despair and selfish desires and become a Distortion. For reference Hindly becomes a Distortion in this same part (which I will talk about later!). The whole process also has a bunch of lore connections to PM's other games but unfortunately this ask is already way to long and I won't be getting into those but yeah, as a long-term PM fan I have chills.

And this is all still just Part 2! we still have a whole other part to go!

woah.................................... this is really cool. <3 i love the picture of him crying <3 <3

[stormtheskyelf2]

Can you share more of the Murder Drones stuff? Headcanons, thoughts, sennarios?

*Deep breath in*

Contains: Lgbtq+, vore, ranting, abuse mentionsTHIS IS LONG!

HEADCANONS FOR THE SILLY LIL MURDER ROBOTS :D

Let's start with the background characters!

I think Lizzy would be lesbian. Ofc, crushing on V. I also think she'd have an extreme soft spot for anyone who treated her with respect out of hey, Lizzy's actually pretty cool and not heck, if I don't be nice she'll spread a petty rumor- (she has and will do it again)

Thad.. Thad's gay. He is.. SO GAY. I know he's a 'jock' and all that, but the way he act is kinda soft, I wouldn't be surprised if he fell for the rival school's quarterback-

Now for the main 3 Disassembly Drones!

I don't have any actual headcanons for J because A, I don't like her.. at all- and B, she barely shows up-

But I think J would be one of those extremely straight, extremely Christian people. She's okay with LGBTQ+ people, but she's never held hands with any woman other than her mother. Do Murder Drones have mothers like Worker Drones? N is straight! I love him to death and I think him and Uzi's relationship in the series is adorable, though I don't see him being attracted to any other gender.

I have a feeling that N may have had some cheap programming for him to be so soft on Worker Drones. Perhaps he was made fast using any part available, or maybe repaired, and they used some Worker Drone parts to fix him?

V is such a damn lesbian and you cannot tell me that she doesn't has a crush on Lizzy-

I don't know what it is about the Vizzy ship, but I love it. It might just be my love for gay, interspecies romance, but... gimme all of it!

Now for the others!

Tessa is straight, though that.. doesn't really matter anymore considering she's like the only human left-

Tessa has been both verbally and physically abused from just being overly scolded in her childhood, to being locked/chained in the library/basement/wherever V and her were in Ep. 5, Home-

Uzi is pansexual- she'll take anyone as long as it's genuine love, since she's been starved of affection for so long (Khan I'm gonna beat you up for this)

Uzi bit Rebecca once when she was mocking her. It's canon now.

Doll.. I think she'd be extremely against love and she'd think she's asexual, but then she has love at first sight with someone and she panics.

I have a feeling she has a Gacha 2019 backstory- her mom loved her and her dad couldn't care, and oh no, here comes V killing them both, and now she's the quiet kid

Nori has no clue what her sexuality is. That was an arranged marriage between Khan and her; I don't think she'd actually fall for someone that interested in doors and doors only- but then again, Khan got more adventurous in Ep. 7, so that could show how he was before Nori 'died', which in that case she would have happily indulged in her crazy drawings with him.

"ACCORDING TO MY WIFE'S CLOSET, THE PLANET IS GOING TO START EATING US SOON."

Khan is doorsexual straight. He's a simple man, despite his... affection for doors. I don't have anything on him other than he has an overwhelming guilt for having to 'put Nori out of her misery' and being a horrible dad to Uzi.

Yeva doesn't get much screentime, so.. I don't have any real headcanons for her.. I got nothing :P

Scenarios:

Once V gets regrown or respawned or whatever, I think she'd get immediately hug-tackled by Uzi. She's definitely shown some growth in personality in a good way.

N would let Uzi shove herself down his throat because A, is this an act of love? B, he's too shy to stop her, and C, oh hey she tastes nice

Nori could shrink and then eat Uzi like the mother she is

or vice/versa, Uzi finds Nori and eats her to keep her safe

I is kinda drained so uh yeah that's all the stuff I can spew, thank you for asking this and sorry-

[dlartistanon]

Oh man cis anti bros ruined Arknights for me. I tried it out because I also liked another gacha (path to nowhere) which has a huge WLW fandom, way bigger than the dudes. So wishing for more of that I tried arknights.

The Arknights fandom is not girl friendly imho.

The doctor is supposed to be a gender neutral short person with according to some media long hair and according to the anime a female/gender neutral voice.

But the fandom made it a tall buff dude that’s going to repopulate all kinds of different species with their many waifus and ignoring character-character relationships.

Sorry for my rant, but boi was a seriously disappointed when I found that out.

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't play PTN, but I have friends who do, and one of the things they said about it really stuck with me, regarding how both player characters are written (Chief and Doctor).

According to them, Chief has more of an actual defined personality compared to Doctor. Chief is their own character within the setting. While Chief is established, Doctor is in this weird nebulous gray zone of being half-established and half-self-insert. And that is honestly one of the most frustrating things about AK's writing.

On one hand, I like the canonical lore of Doctor: their parental relationship with Amiya, their awkward, sometimes hostile dynamic with Kal'tsit, their lingering feelings of depression and detachment surrounding their amnesia, their implied autism, their gender neutrality, they're physically weak (easily winded going up/down the stairs), sensitive to sunlight, their observational skills, their fondness towards physical contact, their extremely negative reaction towards child soldiers, their academic background in neurology/history... they're a weirdo who pours hot water directly into their mouth.

But all that ends up being half-baked when the devs say that Doctor is meant to represent the player. And I just don't like that. It's a giant reminder of self-insertion, but again, incredibly weird when they have all this lore/characterization?

Look at this image:

This concept is speculated to be a somewhat of a "canon" design for Doctor. Quite feminine-looking, wouldn't you say so? Interestingly enough, no similar art of a "male" Doctor design has surfaced anywhere to my knowledge. The closest is in the art book but their face is covered in shadow and their hairstyle is a lot like Thorns'. The anime adaptation Prelude to Dawn adds to the mix by making Doctor 165 cm tall, with white hair, pale eyes, and an androgynous voice (by a female VA).

All of this ends up making the claim that Doctor is a self-insert very wishy-washy. You can't really claim Doctor as canonically nonbinary if the player chooses to see/interpret them as male or female. Because they're a self-insert. But are they really? By giving Doctor more lore/characterization, how can the claim of them being a self-insert hold up? It doesn't make sense.

It's incredibly frustrating how HG wants to have both cakes, but it doesn't work. So the result ends up feeling incredibly half-baked, fumbling both sides. At this point, there's no real and true illusion of player insertion.

It just annoys me the more I think about it. I don't want Doctor to be any % self-insert. I want them to be an actual established character.

But I apologize for going off on my own tangent. I absolutely hate how the Doctor is largely portrayed in fandom too. The automatic default to reading them as male (people can claim "gender neutral", but a lot of the time the actual portrayal/writing really comes off like a cis dude). The mischaracterization and overall gross treatment of complex female characters who have layered and nuanced relationships with other female characters. You're not alone there. I think it's amazing how the PtN fandom has more Female Chief than Male, and how much more popular WLW is. You're lucky.

hi i sent in a very rant-y ask a couple days complaining about the unfair gacha ingame and if you haven't posted it already, could you delete it? I needed to get the rant out of my system but your inbox was an inappropriate place to do that and I'm very sorry for that

I had an answer sitting in my drafts but hadn’t posted it yet, but it’s gone now. Honestly don’t worry about it too much you had a point and I didn’t mind the ask.

Wonderend Rambles

So Wonderend 0 finally came out!!! I haven't played much of it because I'm not exactly a horror game person so the jump scares kinda get to me for now, but I can say I started to play it. [I don't think there's any spoilers because I think you would have had to play the game to recognize if it was a spoiler]

I will say the only thing I can think when I play it is that with the camera thing it's like fnaf a bit. I've never personally have played any of the fnaf games but I watched my cousin play one of them and he was on the cameras a lot so that's probably why. Game play for Wonderend has been taking over my yt though and honestly it pains me how bad some people are. I'm going to get a bit rant-y but come on people if there's a exclamation point on the spot where the camera's are you should probably check it or maybe actually read the computer so you don't constantly go to the electrical room when it says go to the music room. It also tells you to keep the red locker sealed so granted I didn't know the stickers would literally fall off but I think after the first time it opens I would probably remember to check it every now and again. Anyways rant over sorry about that. It's nice to see all the pieces come together now finally knowing 000's name, learning how harsh people were towards him, knowing he now has a canon design and no longer going off of gacha club's and concepts. I also like how you don't start at a title screen you just jump straight into the game along with the title screen being more of a place you put codes into than an actual title screen. I did one of the codes so far but I had to restart the night due to leaving it. I have two more since I accidently messed up my screenshot and closed out of one of the photos. With that all said I think it's a decent game so far I like that the style is a mix of gacha and actual drawing [compare both 000s you can see during dialogue and you'll get what I mean] Anyways because I still have gacha club I'm trying to get the 000 battle unit to see if the wonderend glitch thing is still there so wish me luck!
