#would write this with all the otome games i played tbh

[pinkaditty]

hmmm

just saw a bimbo!reader x incel!idia shroud...

...what if i did something self-indulgent...

haha jk!!! ...unless...?

[channelinglament]

Self Aware HypMic?

(What kind of rabbit hole I'm falling in?)

It goes as if you did this 2 ways

- You played the game

- You watched the anime/read manga

(If u didn't it's alr tho)

Let's begin!

.

.

.

☆

'Kay, so game verse and anime/manga verse are kind of different. Even the game name says "alternative rap battle" instead of division rap battle.

(I assume u already know TDD Era and stuff.)

.

.

It was another mundane day of your life. Pillows surrounded your figure, as you flipped pages of the manga (online or not, up to you). Your drink of choice nearby you, ready to be drank and yet, you are too preoccupied with a manga that you recently found out about. This past months, you've been listening to drama tracks, the songs and reading the manga. The storyline is quite complicated in the beginning, but the more you read, the more you understand. You felt so many emotions during the reading process. Sadness, anger, happiness, love. You were so hooked on it.

Unbeknownst to you, figures inside the said manga were having an existenal crisis. Nothing really new to Ramuda, but you get me. The days have been going as they used to. Rap battles went well. Nothing seemed out of place except for the strange feeling. The feeling of being watched. No one understood why did they feel this way. It was not a stalker was it? They became paranoid, until they started hearing voices. Who is it..?

.

.

.

First ones to become self-aware: Ramuda, Rio, Saburo, Kuko(?), Sasara, Iris, Gentaro, Doppo, Otome.

Everyone finds out or accepts it later, then the characters I listed.

I think some of them hated you, some didn't mind you, while others ignored you. They thought you would leave after a while, and yet, you stay. Why are you watching them?

For some reason they can somewhat feel what you feel towards them. Perhaps their universe is intune with your emotions? Would...would they all die if you stopped liking them?

Their world seems to constantly change as well. Why? Some days you were watching them, and sometimes talking. Other days you..sang along with them? Tried to help them sing better? Helped them during some battles..? (Game moments)

It certainly took everyone a good while to warm up to you. Some warmed up quicker than others (Dice and Jiro, they thought you were some guardian angel or something. Like- you're helping them fr)

.

.

I'll expand on this suff and world building later. Now, let's move on.

.

.

(I may write for Secret Aliens, but I don't know them much so idk)

Depending on reader's age, it will be a romantic or platonic piece.

Reader is 18+?

Romantic: Ichiro, Jyushi, Kuko, Jiro(?), Dice, maybe Nemu.

Others are platonic

Reader is 25+?

Romantic: MTC, Hifumi, Doppo, Ramuda, Gentaro, Sasara, Rosho

Others are platonic.

Reader is a teen?

Romantic: Saburo, Jiro.

Everyone else is platonic. Even this, depends entirely on age of the reader. (I have a few 13+ readers, and more 16+ readers)

Reader is 30+?

Romantic: Jakurai, Hitoya

Others are platonic (I don't write for Rei)

I honestly am 15, so I feel more comfortable with characters that aren't older than 20 heh.

Aka Saburo, Jiro, Ichiro, Kuko, Jyushi and etc.

Even tho I stated in 25+ as platonic, I know that ppl who r 25 can date ppl 20+, so yeah, you may specify if romantic or platonic? Tbh I don't know much abt adult relationships sorry.

I don't write for Rei

Also Hifumi warming up to reader depends on gender (We all know why)

Everything else goes by my rules, pinned post :^

Masterlist

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

Okay, Story (Note here). I've been seeing Hatoful Boyfriend stuff and while I'm not sure if I can spend time playing it right now, if I ever was going to play it...how would I go about it, if you don't mind me asking of course.

I did a bit of looking around and apparently there's a paid and a free version? But I'm very new to the visual novel/otome game (newbie gamer in general, actually) so I'm not sure where I should download it or play it (PC? Mobile? Console?) or if I should get the paid, free, or maybe just...look up streamers and experience the story like that? Probably Hatoful isn't a great place to start for this genre of game, but it sounds SO messed up and so interesting that I want to check it out at some point.

Hey Note!

Ahhhh I'm really excited you're at least interested! Back when I made my deranged propaganda powerpoint for this game, I attached a whole bunch of links on where to buy it and some let's plays. Primarily people get it on Steam now, I think. All the links are here:

There's also Hato Moa's Gumroad, which has the games and extra content, such as an extra route and the manga.

I recommend playing it yourself tbh. There aren't many streamers who get past the joke part of the game, and therefore don't finish it or take it seriously. I attached the ones who did, but I haven't watched them myself so I don't know if they're any good.

I also wouldn't worry about playing this as your first otome. Honestly, this is the only otome I've actually played and the only other VNs I've played are Great Ace Attorney and some other mystery games. I honestly think Hatoful is totally fine to start with - for one, there's not too much actual gameplay so it's mostly text, and two, otome as a genre is actually far darker than people think it is. People talk about the dark stuff in Hatoful like it's some huge subversion but honestly, it's more so the batshit insane premise that somehow all connects in the end that makes it unique.

I hope this helps! It really is a good game (if you're okay with some really messed up stuff). Let me know if I can provide any more info!

[noirvette]

kyle! w/ a reader like tomoko kuroki [watamote] headcanons!!

i havent ever seen watamote so this is all based off the wiki page so i apologize for any inaccuracy for this request :(

sorry if it's rather short too, some things of her personality i didn't exactly know how to write in

cws: none

Before getting together, Kyle really never paid any mind to you exactly. Like he knew of you but you never interacted with many people, him included, so he sort've did his own thing while you did yours.

It wasn't until you and Butters became friends that he started paying attention to you.

He's figures yourself and him as friends because of this and at some point finds himself drawn to you because of your whole lack of a filter, finds it hilarious when you comment on things without thinking about your words.

After Kyle and you are together is when he realizes how hard you've been trying to get people to recognize you, and swears to himself that he'll help.

He knows how hard or tough it can be on you to get people recognize you, so he's willing to do practice runs or help you with speaking up if you need it.

He's dealt with Stan's own grim outlook on life and knows how to best deal with that. Whether that be by showing you the positives in life or by talking you out of that mentality, he'll know how to deal.

He may come off as a little overbearing with this, since Kyle's always been a positive outgoing person, just let him know and he'll tone it down.

He also knows when you start getting too "into" your head and has you talk / rant to him about what's going on. Is a great listener, maybe not so much on giving advice on certain things, but he makes up for it by listening.

Kyle has always been a defensive person, so if Cartman ever gives you a tough time (which, it's Cartman and he'll most definitely will), he's speaking his mind and defending you.

He hates when people are selfish, so this is where you may experience a bit of conflict. He'll force you to actually do work that you're supposed to do, even if it means being there with you to make sure you do it (and even if it's to help a little).

As much as he loves you, his own morals make him a bit head strong and he'll put his foot down if necessary.

If you get embarrassed by seeing people you know when out on a date, he'll be willing to avoid them with you, Kyle has no issue with seeing people he knows, but if he himself can avoid unnecessary meeting (and therefore small talk) he'll do it too tbh.

Might laugh and make a joke about how silly you two zig zagging around everyone.

To make sure he spend the most amount of time with you though, he usually plans dates to not be too public. Things like parks or movie nights or often enough.

Doesn't understand the otome game aspect of your life in all honesty, if you continue to play while dating him he'd probably get offended a bit, like "...but i'm like right here..? Why would you date..fictional characters."

Kyle is just the sweetest and is most likely to help you and support you with anything you need.

[orangelemonsstuff]

Okay so-- few months ago me and my friend were talking about what if DOL has an ending, bad one, since me and my friend are bad ending enthusiasts, it gave me an idea i shared to them months ago.

its pretty shit but i enjoyed writing it lmao

Neutral Bad Ending

MC comes home wet by the rain outside, they will come asking around orphans about Bailey's whereabouts, a orphan would approach them and say Bailey is currently occupying the bathroom,

There are two scenarios that might happen with this ending:

1. If PC is in High Trauma or just achieved the Whitney and Robin Park cutscene/event (which i made up in my mind), PC would ask for the orphan's hair dryer saying "needing to dry their hair because of the rain" before heading to the bathroom where Bailey is in and plugging it on the extension cord, a moment later, Bailey would notice PC's presence and would ask "what the fuck do you want brat? can't you see im in here?" PC would just give him a stare and would ask for his birthday

Defiant: "When's your birthday Bailey?"

Neutral: "i just want to know when is your birthday Bailey?"

Submissive: "W-well, i want to ask... w-when is your birthday Bailey?

At this, Bailey would respond "Why the hell would you want to know? i don't want any of your crappy gifts", PC will insist that they should just say when it is and they'll leave, Bailey would give it up and say "June 12, now get the fuck out of here." PC would smile at them saying that they'll remember it before throwing the plugged hair dryer on a extension cord at the bathub with Bailey.

If PC with High Trauma or the Whitney and Robin event (again made up in my head which i didn't write yet) is not acquired but Robin is on the underground brothel or the Orphanage had gained Rebellious trait it would follow this scene:

2. PC would pull some furnishings from around the orphanage towards the bathroom door exclusively trapping Bailey in the bathroom, the orphans would look at them confusedly and they will just assure them that they will end all of this, the orphans will still not get it but they will help PC pushing the furnitures, it has three stages

"You cover the bathroom door with furnitures and large objects, Its barely covered. he/she could come out easy"

"You cover the bathroom door with furnitures and large objects, Most parts were covered. he/she would sturggle to come out"

"You covered the bathroom door with furnitures and large objects. the door is fully covered. he/she cannot come out."

if high skullduggery, Should PC and the orphans move the furnitures quitely through the bathroom door, if not a chair would make a screeching sound alerting Bailey making the Player choose if they should take the risk on continuing or not.

*not continuing would fail this ending even if the door is already covered fully

continuing, would have Bailey rattling the doorknob only to not being able to open it, Bailey would soon bang the door for all of them to remove the blockage at once or else they will taste their wrath, but with PC contiuing and successfully covering the door, they hurry and lead the other orphans outside as they pick up a canister of gasoline and surrounded the whole orphanage with it including the furnitures near the bathroom door, they will pick up a match on Bailey's office and lit the gasoline tracks on fire.

••

EH? EH? WHATCHA THINK??? tbh this is just a fun lil concept on an ending i made up in my mind since i played a lot of otome games and gained a lot of bad endings... which happened too much to be considered normal cuz normally i just fuck around with characters lmao, but i hope you enjoyed it.

[otome-mondays]

Collar x Malice: Unlimited Review 🐈‍⬛

Ok I know I recently posted a Collar x Malice review, but I’m going in order I played these games. Who’s ready to jump back into the world of Collar x Malice! So some background info to start: this is the first fandisc I have ever played, and as of writing is the only one I’ve played. Because of this, I’m not generally sure what the standards are for fandiscs. I also played this back in 2021, so it has been a while. Please go back to my previous review on Collar x Malice for trigger warnings (use the otome mondays tag)

Spoilers Ahead

Prologue

So to start off this game, we have a separate prologue. You do have to play the prologue because it unlocks all the after stories. So let’s see how this game starts out! Well, for starters we have one of my least favorite things: retroactively adding characters and events that would’ve DEFINITELY been mentioned in the original if it happened. Yeah, needless to say I was not please at this start and quickly became frustrated having to unlock routes. Oh, right if you want to play anything else you have to unlock each boy’s route separately with their prologue choices. So fun! Let’s actually move on to what I bought the game for, 3/10.

Sasazuka Takeru 🍩

So for the after stories, I started with Sasazuka. I saw a recommendation to just pick one that you enjoyed but wasn’t your favorite or pick your favorite to start the game since there’s no need for a route order. I did originally place Sasazuka’s route as solid middle ground in terms of my favorite love interest and also route itself, so it seemed like a safe bet. And thank god it was! This one starts up after the events of his best ending and him rejoining the cyber crimes division. The main conflict here is that Sasazuka and Ichika are learning how to balance work and life and being in a relationship together. The pacing was pretty solid and even though it’s short, it’s enjoyable! If you liked Sasazuka’s route, you’ll enjoy this after story. 8/10.

Yanagi Aiji 🚬

I decided after Sasazuka’s route, I was going to get Yanagi’s out of the way. I do enjoy all the characters, but Yanagi is my least favorite out of the LIs here. After the events of Yanagi’s best ending, we have the start of the after story. Yanagi’s started his private detective agency and everybody’s getting back to normal life. That is until Yanagi’s older brother randomly shows up and threatens him to rejoin the police. So this story mostly focuses on that conflict. This is another cute and short story, so if you liked Yanagi’s route you will like his after story. 8/10.

Enomoto Mineo 🪭

I honestly picked this route next on a whim, and I’m glad I did! This story picks up after he’s been reinstated into Field Ops 2 and now the couple work in the same building. Enomoto’s route definitely focuses on him maturing and developing his relationship with Ichika, and it’s so refreshing to have a portrayal of a healthy relationship in a game (which is rich coming from me tbh). Thanks to his after story, he moved up spots on my favorite LIs list. Honestly I don’t see how anybody would dislike this route. 10/10.

Shiraishi Kageyuki 🐱

Shiraishi yet again stealing the show for some of the best writing…it’s a shame he has this weird extra character. I feel like it’s obvious, but this story has a lot of angst. Because of Shiraishi turning himself in and all of his crimes he committed, he’s under arrest and contained in a special cell. Unfortunately, random extra dude is the main issue in Shiraishi’s story. It is nice to see his growth though as a character. I feel like they did him dirty by making a third of his route flashbacks to the og game. 7/10, Shiraishi fans will probably enjoy but it could’ve been way better.

Okazaki Kei 🏃‍♂️

So I saved my favorite for last, and I’m glad I did! After the X-Day events have wrapped up, Okazaki returns to HQ and Ichika stays with SRCPO. This story also focuses on the two of them trying to navigate being in a relationship and work and life. I was a bit disappointed to see that Okazaki kind of regressed and goes through the same growth all over again but speed run edition. Even though it ends good, this story is kind of meaningless because of this. It isn’t a bad story, just disappointing. Sorry for all us Okazaki fans, 7.5/10.

Other Routes 🐈‍⬛

So let’s talk about the additional bonus routes. To play any of these extra stories, you do need to play through all the after stories. First, let’s go over the Adonis route. This takes place after Yanagi’s tragic end. Ichika joins Adonis after everybody she has cared for is murdered and Zero convinces her to join. It was nice to see Ichika interacting with the Adonis members and how they showed Ichika and Zero have a horridly toxic relationship. If you do want to see all this route has to offer, you do have to replay it a couple of times. Due to this, it’s a little more repetitive than enjoyable at points. Still nice additional content, 8/10. We also have some extended short stories, one from Kazuki’s perspective during X-Day, a semi-Minegishi route, and a semi-Yoshinari route. Kazuki gets an 8/10, Minegishi gets a 4/10, and Yoshinari gets a 7/10.

Overall Thoughts 🐈‍⬛

I like the idea of a fandisc and I think some elements were executed very nicely! Unfortunately, I do have a few issues with some of the content here (mainly the random dude being added and prologue entirely), but I still would recommend it for anybody who enjoyed Collar x Malice! 8/10

Since characters stay the same here, I’m not adding an LI ranking. I will add my route ranking though!

Route: Enomoto > Sasazuka > Yanagi > Adonis > Kazuki > Okazaki > Shiraishi > Yoshinari > Minegishi > Prologue

Resources 📝

I once again used CGs and screenshots from the game and I relied on Otome Kitten’s walkthroughs.

[sweettjrose]

Hey i was reading your last writing, and i wanted to say i really enjoyed that one, it quite remember another story of Blot (Macchia Nera e il buon vicinato) but totally makes that as a sequel and totally of his own for real. Idk if the plan of Blot was correct or not (and sadly i cannot help you if there's a plot hole), but the writing was very fluid and some of the comedy/humor was really good and i was a bit nervous about the romance but it was really interesting. (and i'm someone who played a lot of otome games eheheh eve).

Tbh, it's quite of the best fanfic of Blot i've readed. ( i did not checked all of your previous fanfic so i'm gonna be wrong. ) i'm just so excited to read the next part if you wanna finish of course. The tension was just aaaaah! ><

Anyway thank you to put all your efforts for this fanfic. ^7^/<3

Thank you so much!!! 💕

I am so happy that you are enjoying my story 🥰 I really appreciate all of your compliments. I worked really hard on this fanfiction and I am glad that it is coming out well. It's honestly hard to judge by yourself on whether you are doing something right, so I greatly appreciate hearing your thoughts and seeing what you guys like and think.

I don't think I read that story you're talking about (I would love a link). But this story is actually a follow up (or rather a prequel) to my other fanfiction Detective Mickey Pilot and based on my interpretation of the Phantom Blot and this world. I've been daydreaming and thinking about this story for a very long time and am so glad I finally found the energy to write it down and share it with you all. Plus as I write I end up finding new angles and stuff to add, making the story a bit more complete.

But I am honestly really glad you are finding the romance elements interesting. To be honest, I am very nervous writing them. Love stories can be tough to write as there is a thin line between cheesy and romantic. Plus it can be challenging with the Phantom Blot, because while he does have a "romantic" element to him, he's not exactly a "loving" guy, so trying to imagine how he would act and react in a love story requires a lot of thinking, but is honestly a lot of fun and a great way to dissect more into the character.

Honestly the Phantom Blot has been a blast to write and I can't wait for you guys to see what I've got planned for him, Penelope, and the rest of the story. I'm definitely intrigued by what you guys react to future chapters as I don't want to spoil anything, but I've got a lot of interesting things planned.

Again thank you so much and I hope to share the next chapter soon...

After I finish the next chapter of my Detective Mickey Pilot. Let's hope that doesn't take forever.

[sakura-otome]

Alright, since Utakata no Uchronia is finally being released and I'm gonna be picking up my reservation at Stella Worth tomorrow, let's go through the main and also side characters and talk about which ones I would totally smash

For those of you who don't know Broccoli, the company that produced Jack Jeanne, has come out with a new otome game as of 4/11.

The writing team is basically the exact same team as the one that worked on Piofiore, including the artist RiRi

I'm genuinely so hype for this game. I never ever ever reserve the special edition for a game, but I'm confident this will be a masterpiece like Piofiore. The character designs are all great, the voice actors are top notch A-listers, and they even used live 2D to animate all the sprites! Which has never been done in an otome game before.

This game also has a free trial, which let's you play through the common route, so I definitely encourage anyone who's interested and able to read Japanese to go ahead and play it.

Anyways, let's get to the main cast!

Okay first and foremost, our lovely protagonist ~ ❤️❤️

Her default name is Hinagiku, which is so darn cute!

I don't play games if I don't like the MC's design, but she passes with flying colors. I love white hair, her outfit is fantastic, and I don't find her personality grating. She's actually quite fun!

1000% SMASH

Next is Yashiro

VA: Kobayashi Chiaki

He's clearly the main hero. Putting aside plot stuff and other predictions, his big thing is being quite mysterious. Though he's very friendly, due to his amnesia at the story, we know basically nothing about him. From what I could glean from the info on the site and character PVs, I'm definitely sensing self hatred and angst, and also he's much bolder than I would have expected!

SMASH

Next is Tobari

VA: Okamoto Nobuhiko

So far, he's the one I'm most looking forward to. He's the face of the red light district, and is very dependable despite his age. I really adore the deep kindness that seems to underly his tough exterior, and the voice samples give me the picture of a someone who won't reach out to the MC because of his role, and what it would do to her if he were to take that chance. It doesn't matter if she wants it, it would lead to her unhappiness —

Listen I could go on. But to summarize.

Here's the thing about me. I'm always craving a specific kind of angst. I love when one party rejects the other, not because the feelings aren't mutual, but because they have to choose to live by their principles in some way. And I feel that Tobari is the most likely to scratch this itch.

1 MILLION PERCENT SMASH

Next up is Awayuki

VA: Saito Soma

He is basically the MC's personal butler/guardian. They've been by each other's sides since they were children, and he was one of the few that remained after the fire that destroyed her home and killed her parents when she was 8.

I certainly don't dislike this dynamic, but it's not necessarily my biggest thing. The notes said that the theme for his route was "attachment" or "obsession", from the both if them, which is intriguing to me because MC doesn't seem intense to me in that way, but we'll have to see!

SMASH

Next is Yori

VA: Eguchi Takuya

He's an officer in the militia Kurozuru, and is outright stated in his bio to have quite the nasty personality.

Tbh he pisses me off too much for me to make a fair assessment of him. He's perfectly physically attractive but I cant get past the urge to strangle him Homer Simpson style.

I'm looking forward to his route only insofar as I hope he gets put in his goddamn place.

PASS

Next up, Tsuyukusa

VA: Matsuoka Yoshitsugu

He's a skilled craftsman and a childhood friend to the MC.

He has the biggest, fattest, most obvious crush on the MC right out the gate, and it's honestly the cutest thing ever.

I'm honestly shocked this girl hasn't noticed, he barely hides it. Bitch is cute but hella dense.i honestly feel bad for him at this point.

He's really giving me cat energy. Real meow meow catboy energy if you will. Anyway

SMASH

Moving onto side characters! Woo!

Tsuwabuki

VA: Azakami Yōhei

So apparently he's Yori's older brother who also works in Kurozuru. From what I've seen of this guy, he's genuinely one of the nicest people ever, and I cannot believe he is related to Tori in any capacity. A mystery how he turned out so well-adjusted while Yori is an unapologetic dickhead. Would love to see a side story with him.

SMASH

This is Aijiro

VA: Toya Kikunosuke

Works for Yori. Hates his boss but is one of the few actually capable of working with him. Personally, not my type, design or personality wise.

PASS

Next up, Karatachi

VA: Fukuyama Jun

The head of Kurozuro. Is known to be quite eccentric and difficult to work with.

Listen, out of everyone in this game, he's the one I would personally jump in an alley. OBSESSED.

SMASH SMASH SMASH SMA–

Moving on, Shioji

VA: Yoshimura Kazuhiro

He's Tobari's right hand man, and also sort of "older brother". He's friendly and charming but I'm not particularly struck by him or his design.

PASS

[oldestmakkapakkafan]

OK TOUCHSTARVED DEMO REVIEW!! I JUST FOUND OUT THIS EXISTED YESTERDAY AND STARTED PLAYING

So I was scrolling through tiktok and got THE video of the trailer, immediately started playing which is surprising from me because I normally only procrastinate for everything, even for things I like. But yesterday was a good day it seems.

I started the game and after the short intro selected "the unnamed" backstory I think it's called?? I don't really remember but it was the one where you ran away from your cult village or whatever. For two reasons.

A. I didn't want to have exclusively witty one liners as my dialogue. (The criminal backstory)

B. I'm already playing the arcana (the mage backstory)

Of course I'll play the demo with each one of them later but rn I'm doing various play throughs with variations of what I feel like my own choices would be.

Now for how I like it overall, IT'S SO GOOOOODD!!! I loved everyone just from the trailer alone, everyone except vere, I just really hate his archetype. Let's say me and red haired otome guys have a long time beef, ancestral beef if you will (I'm looking at you castiel...). I just don't like the playboy who is also really mean for no reason and only flirts by making a fool out of you. Anyways, enough about someone I don't really like.

First KURAS, he's soooo my type 🤭 long hair, dark skin, calm and collected! Soo cute, I like his dialogue and interactions in the demo, I haven't unlocked his red option so I feel like he was a little too distant for my liking but I know that'll probably change with the full game (I assume he has one, I mean I got ais' and leander's without even trying).

Now Ais, tbh I tried to stay loyal to kuras but Ais is so hot, cool and kinda flirty... I WAS GIGGLING SO LOUD AND PUNCHING MY PILLOWS, I'm not always for bad boys bc it isn't really done right most of the time (in my opinion) but Ais is really something else.

And lastly Leander, he's hot and sweet, I don't really have much to say about him, I can tell he's the easiest route, at least for me. He's the type of character I can get the good ending of with my eyes closed. I mean we might as well be kissing him by the end of the demo. I still like him tho. I'm just more normal about him than I am about Kuras and Ais. And I can already see him being a fan favorite, so I better like him because all those fanarts are about to infest my feed.

As for mhin and vere. They're not really that interesting to me, I'd say my top would be like this

Kuras and Ais (yes, I just decided I like them both the same)

Leander

Mhin

Vere

Ok now the fan girling is over. Time for SERIOUS BUSINESS!

Art Quality? 9.5/10 soo pretty, the street and city sheets could use a bit more work though. It's kind of underwhelming at the beginning when you see the city and it doesn't really stand out. But maybe it's just me.

Dialogue quality? 9/10 it doesn't feel repetitive, it's immersive and even when there's some corny lines here and there, I'd say it's vere's fault for being a devious bad boy archetype. Because that dialogue is only present with him 🧍‍♀️

And that's it. Even with the wall of text I just wrote I've only played once three routes with the cult(?) Backstory. I will probably write more text walls as I get deeper into the fandom and game.

[kakujis]

ah, that would be great because i actually searched cpl on urbam dictionary before i asked lol and i typed in a super formal way so that doesn't help either. apparently, the archive also glitches via the app too, tumblr definitely need to divert their focus from desktop to the app.

that's true, leander must be a hard cookie to pull of that feat and leander does seem like the type where you'll always guess what his next move will be. that's a good point considering kuras was able to attach the mc arm back to her body and make it almost brand new. his background would probably be the most important one.

i think their will probably be release when their character designs are finally confirmed/done but considering the game is coming out in 2025, we might get their sheets in 2024 :(

it's a bit hard to figure out vere's relationship with kuras and their dynamic since we didn't see them properly interact as a pair in the demo but it just goes to show how smart the studio is with dropping the right hints/clues for everyone to be head over the game.

mhin's relationship with the senobium also seem complex too so their and kuras/vere might be interlinked together in a certain way. well, i just hope that the game doesn't get delay to 2026 or something considering it's such a small studio. the demo took them two years to make.

that would be a sweet drabble to read and mhin's outfit is a nice finishing touch too. canva is a useful tool to make something like that, it's easy to use. that's true but i feel like with ais, he can afford to take that risk with his behaviour considering he does have the soulless as his servants.

i get where you're considering from because vere's outfit definitely seem to be the most gender neutral among the cast. i agreed with you but i feel like the studio chose the palette/outfit that suited the personality most of each character. but i feel like mhin got black streaks in their hair or may just be the roots or maybe i'm just overthinking it.

i will try not to esp irl but i feel like just from my replies to you/texting style, any fan can see that i mimics/or similar to mhin in some way lol. i actually said to my friend irl that if i send her text messages like you're my bff and i love you and stuffs like that, you would think my phone had been hacked and she was like i really would, LMAO.

that's nice! i find that easy to believe because you give those vibes off a lot on tumblr and just from your general replies with me. i slightly know about seventeen (kpop fan many years ago) it is awkward but at the same time, i'm pretty sure that his stage name (?) how did you get into kpop though?

tbh, i do wish that some otome games would focus on the breakup of platonic love because dealing/accepting it can be quite hard esp the aftermath. that's a great idea! it's hard to find that content altogether in most fandoms so that would be interesting to read and the representation too. what fem characters do you have in store? (if you don't mind revealing them)

it is annoying but sometimes, the studio use it as a trope to create conflict in the character troupe but there are other way to do that, they just need to brainstorm more ideas.

er, i would find that terrifying and morbid but i'm not a proper ais stan. well, leander was the only one with blushing/shy emojis so you are heading in the right direction regarding him. i suppose in that situation, it would be a lot easier for leander to play the victim card too like he could say i look after you so much, why are you being mean then? to the mc or something along those lines.

i think there are some yan! servers that you can join on discord to get help from other writes or just general advice if you want to improve. tbh, i remember seeing a yan! request regarding three characters from TR and one was Chifuyu but the writer replied i cannot do him because i can't imagine him as a yandere at all so it does happen!

what's nightowl? i think kazutora is a great candidate considering how unhinged he was in season 1. the best thing about ao3 is that the platform have a feature that tell you how many users had read your fics!

i'm looking forward to them! are they oneshots or headcanons? well, idm sharing because my username is different on ao3 but my writing style is quite particular and i'm not entirely sure whether you're a bnha fan but my tr fic is quicker to read compare to my bnha one.

i dk how to add links in an ask or if it's even possible so i'll just copy and paste them down below.

here you go!

i played the demo late at night so i didn't notice these things unless that was mention in the other origins route (?) he is and i do like how he give others a chance otherwise i'm sure he wouldn't want to know mhin.

it definitely sound like sen is super cursed then and she's most likely to appear in leander route the most. well, even his character design play that stereotype but anything can happen. i know who reo is LMAO.

well where i live, there was an event that increased the general price for postage/shipping so that's probably a factor but it is a bit too much for fans outside North America.

i never heard of paku romi so i can't make a comment on that but i trust your judgement! do you think the voice acting would only be the scenes with the CGs? at this rate, i wouldn't be surprised if the studio run out ideas for stretch goals lol.

that's a nice mindset to have and that's completely true, do you have any posters in your room? i got mini one where my count is probably 20 and i'm getting more soon. what's breed is your dog? well, anything is possible! what's your favourite game?

i suppose that it's not shocking because it's technically a form of fanservice but i do feel like the female characters are sexualised more.

i know about obey me as a game but the notifications would overwhelm me and i deleted/reinstalled the game a few times and seeing the amount was like hell/trying to catch up for me so i gave up LMAO. are you an obey me fan?

really? wow, i have undermind the power of obey me, i did not realised that some fans were super devoted like that towards the game.

he actually would but we may get a cg of mhin smiling towards the end but his bad ending might be really good nightmare fuel. i think all those tiers are gone but i felt like the best one was the sketch commission.

heyo nonnie, sorry this reply took a bit!! i feel like tumbly will always be glitchy lool, i've been on here for soo long even back then it was super glitchy!

yes! even though ais is my favorite, i think kuras and mhin have the most interesting back stories for me! especially kuras like, what are u hiding angel man?! not gonna lie, sort of hoping the chara sheets come earlier than that. i think they might to keep interest!! also what i found interesting during the demo is that vere was able to stay within the same space as kuras though, during the tavern scene!

from what i got from mhin's dialogue, i think mhin may have been a student at the senobium who was kicked out? or something along those lines! and i agree with the delay, but i'm also thinking that i could handle a delay in order to get the best finished product!

also eee, ngl i've used canva maybe once or twice and it's soo confusing to use for me *_*... i'm really bad at any type of editing or graphics, so i try to find premade things... but i really do wanna start making better banners for fics and such T_T.

eee i still have that ais drabble i'm working on but i feel like i'm in such a creative rut lately!! not sure why. >..< yes yes i agree! each outfit is def tailored to them <3 and they all look soo good eee. i was just thinking mhin stands out a ton for me personally!! also do they? i have to play the demo again soon! oo how i'd love to cosplay vere someday <3!!

LOL no worries!! talk how you talk, if u talk like mhin then soo be it! and LOL, that's so funny!! i used to be a lot like that, but sprinkle in a ton of social awkardness + anxiety, so whenever i'd say something kind or nice my sisters would message me back like: are you okay? mentally and physically? ┐(‘～` )┌

ah which kpop groups were u into??? also, i used to play a game called audition online (OOF REALLY OUTING MYSELF HERE!!) and there were toons of kpop songs on there! i naturally fell into it that way :'). i was a big 2nd gen fan and did listen to some of 3rd gen, but not much. love love love jun from seventeen tho ehe. like whenever i see him i'm just like: ♡ (￣З￣)

ahh i see what you mean, i think the aftermath of platonic breakups hurts a lot more than romantic ones! (at least for me! but i've only gone thru one serious break up :p). and AAA well, definitely yuzuha from tokrev since she's my favorite!! but i'd love to write for the other tokrev ladies especially senju <3. i'm also a big mt. lady fan from bnha so maybe her as well ^^; idk why i'm suddenly blanking on my favorite charas LOL.

ahh see, i reeeallly love monster designs and stuff! claymore is one of my favorite series of all time and there's tons of monsters + body horror characters within it. i also really like blood and violence (fantasy ofc), so thats probably why i gravitated towards ais. but omg.. when u first meet mhin and they reach their hand out- im gonna pass out goodbye!! OMG you are SO RIGHT on leander's dialogue!!! ugh there is so much juicy potential with these charas i'm!!

ah.. i would i join a discord server, but i'm genuinely very very shy ;//;. i'm in a ton right now and i barely talk in them. even after a good convo, it's hard for me to start again cause i overthink a TON! also, nightowl is a character from the game blooming panic! it's a free game on itch.io! you should give it a try, you essentially join a discord server and fall in love with one of the members. which member you get depends on your dialogue choices too! i remember wanting to get quest first but i got nightowl and i was HOOKED from there, eep. <333

yes yes! i was thinking of that kazutora! obviously of age, but i think unhinged kazutora was so sexy eee. same with izana!!! AHDSFSDJF i love love love izana. wbu? also i really do need to get on with uploading my fics to ao3, i'll try to do that this weekend!

they're both oneshots! they're on here ... somewhere, i think they're listed on my masterlist? i'm really bad at self reblogging so they kinda just fade off into the distance oops! also i got the links!!! i'm not able to read them fully rn, brain too mushy from school...╥﹏╥ BUT i do have them opened up in another tab and i read a bit from both and what a wonderful writing style you have!! <333

i think it was mentioned somewhere in a post about him but i'm not entirely sure eep. i'm going to give the demo another go through tonight, probably on the alchemist origin and see if i pick anything new up!! i wanna know who brought sen back!! was probs the senobium but still! arghh tell me nowww red spring studios!!! alsoo, i'm TERRIFIED im gonna get mhin's bad end.. i feel like i always fail with these types of characters LOL. but smiley mhin <333 i'd die for that eee!!

oo! so have u watched blue lock or read it? if so what are ur thoughts on it? ^^ argh sorry about the shipping! hopefully in the future it'll be more affordable D:... i've seen that a lot with toons of brands, especially smaller ones where the shipping is double the amount that the product itself is which is INSANE!!

personally, i think the voice acting would be only for cgs or special scenes! like unless they did unvoiced main protagonist video game style and added in grunts, laughs, etc. for the LIs but i think that would be odd? and same here LOL, idk what else they could do for stretch goals!

i do! i just haven't hung them up LMFAOO. theyre literally sitting in a corner like "hello... anyone here??" i have a bleach painting of ichigo kurosaki <333 and a bnha poster! what posters do you have? and my pup is a bichon frise!

hmm, for favorite game it's probably ... dragon age: origins. i've replayed that game soo many times, i've been itching for another playthrough heh. besides that... stardew valley, dragon's dogma, and ffxiv definitely! what about you? you have any favorite games?

yess fem charas are sexualized soo much! i won't lie tho, i do have a kind of inappropriate figure of shion from that time i got reincarnated as a slime! i wanted it sooo bad, but i cant even display it i'm soo embarrassed hahha.

yes!! i'm a big obey me fan! LOL NGL i have over 100+ texts from the demon bros i just don't even read em anymore. sometimes i'll click the most interesting one buut, idk its so much reading damn. i'm so behind on the main story omg. but like, they keep coming out with side events that i wanna play!! its so hard to keep up! i used to play their ooolllddd dating sims from when they did the Shall We Date? series, i installed like every single one and was so into them. idk why i didn't get into obey me sooner eep.

yes the obey me fandom is mind boggling sometimes!!! i know the seiyuus go to anime expo and i wanna go sometime and meet mammon's seiyuu in person!! hes so cute!!! we're getting a new game called, obey me: nightbringer. and we're going back in time for this one!

[sagau-my-beloved]

I recently started playing mystic messenger and I can't stop laughing when I imagine Venti going just "who's calling you in the middle of the night????what do you mean your another boyfriend?????" And considering it's a game it might just be true- 💀💀💀

Mystic Messenger, I haven't heard that name in 4 years 💀

I loved it so much like 2017-2018, Yoosung was my default route cause he was so cute and mildly Yandere—

Then the V/Ray route came out, and I just couldn't stop playing Ray's route because it was just so sad and he was so unbelievably adorable (and still kinda Yandere, I've got a type apparently)

He still owns my heart tbh, I'll stare out a window and gazed off into the horizon with war flashbacks of how obsessed with him I was, all the fan fiction and fanart—

But my rambling aside, Venti reaction to reader playing literally any otome game, oh boy-

Somewhere between confused and insecure I'd say

If he like actually saw the call, or you woke up specifically to take the call without giving him the context first, he would be immediately hit with a large amount of worry, like heart dropping suddenly feeling nauseous kind of worry

You'd have to explain that, no, this isn't an actual person that you know in real life, it's just a game—

His worry would then be replaced somewhat with confusion, and also more worry, because you have referred to where he came from as a game before too—

Does this mean that it's possible for this person to suddenly show up and claim they deserve your attention??? He will fight them for it and he's not going to lose—

Promise him that it's all completely fictional and none of these people are actually real and it's just done for entertainment purposes

All that might make him feel a little bit better, but there's still going to be a bit of worry there because doesn't he entertained you enough? Are you not getting enough emotional fulfillment out of the relationship you currently have with him, that you have to default to a virtual one?? Do you just like these characters personalities more than his???

(If it gets bad enough, he might actually make a mental note of who your favorite character seems to be and do some research on them)

Either way, he's going to up his affection

You suddenly got a notification? Oh, well too bad, now he's laying on top of you and going on and on about how much he just adores you, didn't you know?

Might disable the alarms you set for 3 am and claim that you must have just slept through them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(It's so weird to think about my current obsession interacting with my past obsession, or that I would ever be writing something Mystic Messenger related again, even indirectly-)

[treysimp]

Updated TWST Tier Lists! + BONUS Obey Me! & JJK (Because I Can)

Now that I've written for every character at this point (excluding some of the staff: sorry Trein, Sam and Vargas; I gotta dig out that Faculty!Reader draft I have sitting in Google Docs from a few weeks ago lol)

I am still in a lot of pain so I am just fucking around and having fun until I feel well enough to properly write again lmao (maybe I'll do a "taking care of you after surgery" series and go full self-indulgent haha). I think the hardest thing for me about tier lists is that I am so full of love that putting characters in anything but S tier is really hard for me? I know it's silly haha

Here's the original tier list one I posted for funsies of comparison:

Notable changes between prev and now: Cat tier added (lmao), removed D tier, Azul and Jamil moved to A Tier (subject to change upon sex scenes written), especially Azul because of my megane bias, I actually ordered everyone in order of liking this time so this is truly currently how I feel lol, Rook is SO close so S tier but I just can't do it to myself yet, Lilia shot up to S tier because I fell down the 'Adult Mr. Daddy Vanrouge' rabbit hole and I am FULL SIMP, B tier is composed of characters who I LOVE the designs of but am not completely sold on for characterization reasons.

BONUS LISTS:

Obey Me! Shall We Date?:

Fun Notes: Simeon is SO BEAUTIFUL, Mammon is literally the IDEAL himbo tsundere and Solomon is SO FUCKING COOL hiiii boyfriend, Purple haired guy is put in neutral because when my original game file crashed and was unrecoverable from my old phone he hadn't been introduced yet (but he sounds like a dumb asshole and I'm into that). (I had gotten through all of book 1 haha sobs maybe I'll make a new file someday)

Major complaint: No 100% megane characters, this is rude to me specifically (yes I know that SOMETIMES Satan and Lucifer wear glasses and that is HOT but I need a full time blind bitch)

Jujutsu Kaisen:

Fun notes: I AM ONLY ANIME + THE MOVIE SO WHILE I KNOW I WANT TO FUCK MEGUMI'S SHITTY DAD HE'S NOT HERE FOR THAT REASON, I also didn't really get Geto's appeal until I saw the movie and laughed hysterically at him taking a selfie with his hottie secretary so yeah okay he got to S by a thread, Nanami is literally everything I want out of a fictional man AND he's voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda who is SO HOT both voice-wise and IRL have you guys seen his live actions househunband shorts?? I die. I also 100% FW almost any other character he plays no matter how much of an awful person they are I am DOWN BAD: Evil cop from Sabukui Bisco: YeAH; Tsuchigomori from Hanako Kun OBVIOUSLY; he was in the King Of Fighters Otome game I wish I could play that SO BAD; Kaiba YES; Mikoshiba from FREE YES; he plays Rath in fire emblem heroes who is also a top tier BF; CHIKAGE FROM HAKUOKI I HAVE A PRIZE FIGURE OF HIM. Okay I'll stop but like you all need to understand. Megumi is my sweet serious Sasuke-but-nicer boy who loves animals and would treat me right, Gojo is Gojo like I know everyone loves him but I do too, MEGUMI OGATA ALSO PLAYS SO MANY BOYS I LOVE like she is SO good as Yuta I even love her as Komaeda even though I *HATE* Komaeda with a passion (Hanako kun was also MADE for her as a role tbh), Maki's the bad bitch that you both wanna be and wanna date, I'm gonna stop after this I am going nuts but I have so much to say

[poisonouswritings]

hey psst [shuffles over here]

m4 playing geometry dash on Mc's phone/tablet

playing any mobile game tbh

(beckons you closer) I got you bestie

Felix

Okay consider Felix playing Fictif/similar romance genre game ahshdak

This boy is a hopeless romantic so I could totally see him playing like,,, Obey Me! or just generally an otome game

He purposefully tries to get the Bad End for Romantic Tragedy™

Is he using your phone? Does he have his own phone? It Does Not Matter. The Wallpaper Is Now Bunny!Mammon and if you try to change it he will Pout And Bitch™

Alternatively considering the LL team joked about him having a Hatsune Miku body pillow I could see him playing rhythym games!! Especially those ones where it lets you upload your own song and it generates a level based on the beat (think something like Tile Hop! EDM Rush) and he fills it with songs from like, Phantom of the Opera or Rick Montgomery or whatever. I could also see him having a bunch of old school stuff like from Frank Sinatra (Fly Me To The Moon, he likes the 'let me play among the stars' line the most) or Dean Martin or Sammy Davis.

I could also imagine him fooling around with those ghost hunter apps! But Stella keeps skewing the results :/

Mm... My Pet Cthulhu, or any of those cute 'raise a monster' type games

Aaaand

Those 'escape the room'-esque logic games, but only the ones involving magic/monsters. He likes pointing out all the ways his Superior Magic™ would let him solve the problem way sooner (while refusing to acknowledge he would likely mess up and get himself into a worse situation, or that his solutions would likely be illegal)

Felix would be Super Invested™ in the plot of his otome games. He spends hours replaying and rereading to get different options. He looks up fan theories. He gets the CGs. He writes smutty smutty fanfics. He is A Boy Obsessed. Why Did You Introduce Him To This. On the bright side you guys can read together. For rhythym games I think he'd get frustrated when he messes up and ends up redoing the same level 10+ times to finally finish it because 'no MC I cannot be beaten by a foolish time-waster meant for children!!'

Anisa

(Please consider Anisa in a Pokémon trainer uniform)

No but that being said, I think she'd like Pokémon Go! She'd find the creativity of AR and Pokemon in general to be really interesting. For extra fun don't immediately tell her it's just a game because she'll 100% believe Pokémon are real until you tell her otherwise

I can also see her playing something like Love Nikki: Dress-Up Queen. I think she'd enjoy the dichotomoty of the mechanics being 'oh you wear cute outfits' versus the plot being like 'men are driven insane by the eternal power of perfect peace and there's a blood curse and a dark god (or whatever Xiao Zong is supposed to be) who goes around being a drunk asshole and sometimes there's time travel and also oh yeah, N E C R O M A N C Y sometimes'

(y'know when I phrase it like that I think Felix would play it too)

Definitely the most reasonable about her gaming. She might be a little frustrated sometimes if she misses out on a limited edition thing, but otherwise I think she'd be fine.

On the other hand if she's drunk I could see her getting frustrated with a bad gacha pull and impulsively yeeting your device so maybe be aware of that

'MC look at how pretty my house is decorated!! :3' 'Annie that's great but you've had this pile of dirty laundry in the middle of the room for three weeks now and I think something inside it is moving' 'looook I can have a little cat friend and a flower crown!! :3'

Sage

Maybe don't ever let him on the internet

I think if you're above the age of like, 15, and you watch anime or play anime games, you inevitably get those hentai-esque game ads for games that aren't even sexual, like Girls X Battle and Crush Crush and whatever else. I think Sage would see the ads, try the game, see the game is nothing like the ads, but keep playing anyways because (at least in the case of Girls X Battle) Cute Anime Girls Beating Up Monsters is probably something he enjoys in a Multitude Of Ways™

I don't think he would like KleptoCats (or KleptoCats 2) necessarily but I think if you showed it to him he might play it, mostly because of the weird subplot going on (and he likes pointing at a Potentially Evil Cat and calling it Stella)

Also would see him playing something like Temple Run!! Bright colors and fast movement and the threat of Demon Monkeys is probably enough to keep him interested for a bit, essentially because he thinks there Has To Be An Ending At Some Point and He Wants To Find Treasure. I could also see him playing Minion Rush but that's more for the meme than anything else.

You might have to limit his game time

'Sage.' 'Hm?' 'How long have you been playing that for?' 'Uuuuuuh well it's 2 right now-' 'Its 5 in the evening.' '.....Just one more run I almost beat my highscore-'

Rime

Oh Ho Ho Ho Ho I Hope You Have A Solid Case!!

Rime would be the one to play the subgenre affectionately dubbed Rage Games; Minesweeper, Idiot Quiz, and yes, Geometry Dash.

He takes them as a personal challenge!! Baby boy likes proving that he's The Best™, especially if you tease him about how these games would kick his ass. I think he'd get the hang of Minesweeper pretty quickly but would be super frustrated initially. Idiot Quiz would piss him off in the Worst Possible Way. He dubs it the Sage Quiz™. Geometry Dash,, just,,,, pisses him off so much,,,,,,, there's bright colors and happy music but he keeps fucking dying MC why does he keep fucking dying on that stupid fucking spike-

He cusses a lot. You'll be in the other room and you'll just hear him give this indignant little "fuck!" And then ten seconds later a much louder "F U C K I N-!!!"

He throws your phone more than once. Apologizes and tries not to do it again but he Does. Refuses to use practice mode. If you Really wanna piss him off I suggest making your own level and naming it something like 'Easy Peasy for Bambi <3' or whatever. Doesn't matter how easy it is he will be So Angry at the name that he will be unable to focus and lose.

He may retaliate either by Intense Bitching™ or Tickle Torture ™, all depends on how he's feeling

'Me cago en todo lo que se menea!' 'Rime it's just a game.' 'Tomar por culo!' '....' '... Sorry MC I didn't mean that I just hate this stupid level' 'Take a break?' 'I would rather die' 'I mean you already did die once.' '.... Vete a frier esparragos'

[married-to-google-translater]

Now that I think about it, I don't think it matters about the gender of MC to be honest. I think the only reason why they didnt really specify is because nor all players are male or not all are female or non-binary . So I think they just treat MC as gender neutral tbh so that female players dont feel like they are constantly referred as a boys and male players don't feel like they are referred to as a girls. And the non binary players are mistaken for a he OR a she. To kind of make it all equal.

Of course in the manga, Yuu/Yuuken was introduced as a male but thats the manga, but i dont think Disney intended him to replace the people behind the screem of the game tbh. Why would the game talk to you in the 2nd person if there is already a character for that already or they could have never even ask for OUR names if there was a character like that already.To all the people who thinks that MC cant possibly be a girl/boy/gender-neutral, you literally got teleported to another world, which even the dark mirror/Crowley doesnt understand. I don't think whatever brought you to Twisted Wonderland even cared to see what gender you were or how magical you were even though it sent you to a boys' school.

Sorry if I came across as aggressive (if I even did) but this is to the people who have a problem when they think Yuu/MC/reader (whatever you call it) can't be anything other than a male character and have a problem with creators who write them as gender-neutral or female. Of course it isn't a problem if you prefer it to be a male character but please don't slander the ones who prefer it not to be. I mean Twst came out a year or two years ago, not a century so I don't think every female character in it will end up having such a traditional role. Maybe Eliza did but there were some female characters in Chaoter 6 that didn't have those kind if roles.

Feel free to challenge my opinion since I am an open minded person and is open to other people's opinions too and I promise this wasn't an attack to male MC preferences at all.Please understand that it is an OPINION.

Those were really good points. I haven't played twst myself, so I didn't know that they refer to Mc by name or in the second person. Or that they treat Mc genre neutral for behavior. Which is actually a really reasonable bet because this way some players can forget that Mc is a man.

And when it comes to Manga (and maybe also Visual Novel ) it's true. Their purpose is to tell the story and not to make the reader imagine that they are the main character.

I'm not familiar with the matter, but I believe that the majority of Male Mc supporters want Mc to be a man so that they can identify with the character themselves. As an earlier Anon commented they don't have that much material. Not even a fandom because several authors only write Fem Mc ( this is not an accusation. )

That's why it would be important to them. As far as I know, Obey me is ONLY an anime based on an Otome game where Mc is gender neutral. I hope that romantic anime with a gender-neutral protagonist will become more common.

Thank you for taking the time to participate in the discussion and writing this really long post. I wish you a good day/evening.

[fairestwriting]

Omg! Can I request an hc with floyd, jade, idia, malleus and riddle when their s/o plays too much otome games? XD like she's gushing about the otoge boys too much lmao. Thank you and have a good day 💘

shes so valid for that tbh. thank YOU for the rq i hope you have a good day too!!

+ ko-fi link, if anyone feels like financially supporting my writing

Floyd Leech

When you mention one of your favorite boys for the first time, he thinks you’re talking about like... an actual person. He goes dull eyed and his voice drops, asking you who the hell that person was.

You hurriedly explain that it’s just a game character! And Floyd goes back to normal, though he isn’t really pleased about it. Why are you playing games about dating pretty boys? You don’t have to do that, you already have him!

When he sees you playing them, he wraps his arms around you and pouts, whining about how his Shrimpy’s giving all her attention to these cartoon boys while your very real boyfriend’s right there.

Jade Leech

Also kind of jealous about it, but in a much more discreet way than Floyd.

He outwardly treats it like any other of your interests, asking you questions about it and gladly listening to you talk about it. He’s happy that you’re having fun! Though, if you need any attention, you should go to him -- But well, he won’t say that.

Lets you have your fun, mostly. Yet everytime you’re playing or talking about it, Jade gets noticeably touchier, prone to pulling you close to him and staring at you with that vague smile as you’re busy with either gushing or gaming...

Idia Shroud

Oh, he understands you so deeply.

Idia probably plays otome games himself. They’re not his favorite genre, but he can’t resist a good one from time to time... he probably was hooked on Mystic Messenger when it came out.

He’ll be willing to try out the games you’ve been playing lately, also. You guys can suffer together.

Listens to your rambles, then rambles back if he knows the game. He always has a favorite character too.

Malleus Draconia

Canonically does not understand technology so I’m guessing this extends to otome games.

It takes him a bit to understand even the concept, but once he does, he doesn’t really mind it. He thinks it’s cute how you get so excited about your games. He listens to your gushing with a smile on his face.

Probably asks to try one of the games at least once, but that’ll be a mess. You have to be by his side, walking him through everything, and it’s still unlikely he’ll get the game’s mechanics, which he will sulk about for a bit.

Riddle Rosehearts

Doesn’t get the appeal of them, really. What’s so good about fictional men?

He’s not exactly jealous, but he feels a little weird about it. He’ll listen to you talk about your interests, sure, he cares about what makes you happy, but hey, your boyfriend is right here, you don’t need to talk about how you wish this one cartoon man would hold you. Riddle can do that.

He’ll let you have your fun, even if he doesn’t understand it -- If it’s distracting you and keeping you from completing your school duties, though, you bet you’ll earn one of these Riddle scoldings you’re probably already familiar with.

[saitolover]

🐱 jumin’s route thoughts!

note that it’s been a few days since ive completed these endings / dlc so my memory might be a bit shaky of the entirety of them. i have some screenshots to go off of but that’s it lol. these are just some of my random thoughts and such that i have about jumin’s route when coming back after many years into the game again.

the reason i originally chose specifically to do jumin’s was because 1. i only have time for one route due to college, & 2. i remembered that he and zen were my favs back then. originally i was going to also write about the bad ending 2 & dlc but i lazy! lmao.

tldr; this is just my personal thoughts as i went through jumin’s route, feel free to add / comment anything. ^_^ i talk a lot about his character/past/actions, kinda like an analysis but not really since i am a dumbass & might be incorrect about some things. but in conclusion, jumin is very Complex character and can have some 🚩 tbh but he is very much still my little scrumgus i love jumin So Much. <3 he needs some tlc, a big hug, and also therapy. past me had great taste.

long thoughts under the cut! spoilers ahead for jumin’s route & slight spoilers for his bad ending/dlc.

📱COMMON ROUTE

just wanted to say, it was extremely nostalgic to open up the game again after many years! i first started playing in 2016 (!!) but probably played again during quarantine in 2020ish (cannot remember). i came back in honestly not knowing ANYTHING about what would happen in jumin’s route. my memories are extremely shaky abt the game other than the main plot points involving v, rika, seven, & saeran. but my knowledge still was kinda low lol.

v’s birthday art is super pretty btw!! loved the homescreen image of it. the max speed feature is very nice, i probably should buy it since it’s only $3 but oh well. maybe if im really into the game? anyways, chatting in the messenger again is so weird lol it’s such a throwback and i definitely missed these guys’ shenanigans. literally zen complimenting himself so much was hilarious for some reason?? 😭 yoosung being a relatable college student, me feeling so bad for jaehee <3 girl does not deserve to be overworked like this all the time ?!?! and jaehee also complimenting zen’s looks as well as being his biggest fan LMAO. seven doing seven things (do not need to explain further). and jumin being the more serious and cold guy who also loves his cat and doing whatever he wanted sometimes. and saying random shit HAHA. which is sometimes a personality i would like in otome games (See: Saito). so im here like hm, i think i see why past me liked jumin! he probably warmed up to the mc and got really cute and romantic or something? and not at the way everyone kept on saying jumin might be “androgynous” LIKE you guys. do you mean aromantic or ???

📱 JUMIN’S MAIN ROUTE

okay first of all: sorry in advance if theres some random gaps between what im writing/events im talking about. idk i only have some screenshots to work off of and what i remember with my bad memory? but moving on, here’s my thoughts as i went on with jumin’s route.

okay, so glam choi and sarah are a thing in the story now. jumin is just annoyed - seems like he’s only encountered women who try to take advantage of him / only try to speak with him as if theyre wanting to get something in return, like money, as i believe the story framed? and how he was genuinely sad about his father trying to make him get into a marriage, especially because he was one of the only ones who had treated him with “love” in a way where he wasnt having a relationship where an exchange or reward would always be expected. his past with his mother (which i will might talk about more eventually) also shows how jumin has been raised to be more methodical and just. like a robot honestly, raised with no love and any time to express his emotions after being so… emotionless? he was never really taught that feeling, and ig it could be difficult to “teach” if he’s never really experienced much love or time to find times where he could be happy, sad, etc. etc. when he’s at home all the time surrounded with expectations and studies to prepare to become a ceo. okay kinda went off and mentioned the dlc anyways, but whatever. there’s a lot more to jumin’s character, which makes him complex imo and although i dont think i’ll be able to cover everything, just wanted to say that there’s been a lot going on for him, but it still cant completely excuse his actions at times!

and please note this is just my opinion on a fictional character, i would be glad to hear any thoughts anyone reading this has <3 this is a little personal analysis/thought post and there could (and could be a high chance) that i am wrong about some things! :] so take what i say with a grain of salt bc tbh im writing this all in one try and probably wont reread what i have, mainly a big fat ramble / word dump here!

i remember lowkey being confused about how fast mc & jumin’s relationship escalated at first bc it went from yeah just casually chatting in the casual route to everyone saying that mc has been the one causing jumin to smile more, to speak out more openly about his actual emotions for once, etc. but im not complaining, i still loved how jumin would say he would call mc just to hear their voice, saying it would calm him down and feel better. and other stuff along those lines. also why is his deep voice so hot.

biggest and greatest shoutout to jaehee being the best employee ever??? like, she’s been working overtime ALL THE TIME, doing extra work for jumin like researching about the scandals, having to reschedule things after jumin acts unreasonable 💀 while trying to keep everything in order. she deserves a raise, a promotion, a break, a vacation. like, i am picking every option that is defending her or telling her to take a break or that she’s doing great!!! i love jaehee and i hate to see how she never gets rest or food :[ not healthy, i was SO GLAD that she was able to finally get a vacay at the end of jumin’s route, but now im like, girl deserves to quit honestly if she was constantly treated like that at work 😭 which im glad it what happened in her route, which also makes me want to play her route next but i have no time. and now i will shut up and continue writing.

okay, so i remember i was kinda loving jumin again at this point lol. i remember just liking how he became more romantic & the times where he would be jealous. a lot of the phone calls he had were also great, and it was cute that he made pancakes for breakfast, & how he read a bedtime story like. pretty cute stuff!

LMAO and then i was like hm the red flags are kinda showing! but i am a bull and i love chasing red flags! jumin wanting mc to only look at him - you got it sir. possessive jumin! the kiss scene was surprising - honestly very unexpected bc he just kissed mc so randomly ??? at least he said that he was originally thinking of asking mc for permission or something like that? but yeah soap opera scene that i was like hm. then he was like “you can suck in all my emotions. you can be mine.” and i was like. oh. elizabeth’s disappearance is REALLY gonna make a difference here, huh. for the first time, jumin realized that he never really had someone like mc before? jk, he had rika and v with him back then where he was also open to them, but i feel like the biggest thing was how vulnerable jumin was atm? like, he’s in this fight with his father, who he had always been close to. rika and v are both not around to consult with. elizabeth had gone missing. he was beginning to refuse to listen to rta members and instead begin to protect who he had left, similar to the way he had described how he felt better after seeing elizabeth in a cage as opposed to when she was walking freely. he definitely needs to speak to a therapist himself. but without support from others, it probably was what he saw as one of the only solutions he can turn to? this was the first time he’s started to really open up and speak about his feelings bc he’s always just. never had a chance to be able to express them or be able to explain them ?! never really was taught these things, though it seems like he was also aware that it wasn’t right. lots of things going on showing that yeah, he definitely was not doing okay emotionally in the first place, pretty much!

this is kinda getting long now?? and im a bit lazy to continue writing so much more, so ill stop rambling too much and cover more. the way jumin was getting extremely possessive too was worrying like 🫢🚩 he really said we have everything in this penthouse! stay here forever and ill protect you from the outside world and its dangers! let me own you! and i was like sure, take me away when i did the bad ending. sorry for indulging ? BUT DAMN it was very unsettling to see him say that he would OWN mc like ??? ayo what!

and then all the rfa members were like ah. hopefully jumin is having a Very Healthy And Normal relationship as they speak in the chat room. while jumin and mc enjoy a nice dinner with jumin speaking about how great it would be for mc to stay home and try on all the things he had for her while never returning to the apartment! day 2 with jumin on his home - any way out? who knows! zen rlly was like. GET MC OUT OF THERE.

everything that happened in jumin’s route was just ESCALATING 📈📈📈 okok but from my screenshots, it begins to show how jumin is like. Yeah. i am pretty Bad and Dark for doing this and having all these thoughts that he doesn’t really know how to address ? emotions that he’s never had before coming out like hello! and he’s like, wtf do i do with you guys? he’s having a hard time out here. very open to mc who is, atm, the only one who could help him sort out his emotions & depending on the choices you choose, could really determine what jumin ends up doing with his emotions and how much he can control them? and like, mc can either feed into a more healthy relationship where jumin begins to feel like he does deserve love and that these feelings might stem from how little he felt in the past. or mc could feed into a much harmful/toxic relationship as seen in the bad ending. !!! very interesting huh. also shows how much jumin has begun to depend on mc after everything that happened in these last like. two days.

now im like 💀 this is the most ive ever written for a review so far yet, i literally just dumped out some random thoughts i had on 4 hours of sleep, and i should def be sleeping rn!! but it’s okay!! sorry if i wrote anything that doesn’t make sense in these last paragraphs ??? i wont cover the seven and yoosung at mint eye hq to save time/space.

on a more light hearted note: yay!!! jaehee finally gets her vacation!!! jaehee gets justice!!! also watching zen and jumin bicker in the chat room is honestly one of the most hilarious things in this game. jumin in the chat room with mc plus another member usually ends up with the member becoming a third wheel and also very annoyed when jumin and mc are like i miss you <3 you’re so cute <3 ily <3 and every single rfa member is absolutely begging them to just privately message each other at this point lmao. AND NOT @ JUMIN HAVING THE WHOLE MARRIAGE THEME GOING ON HIS RFA ACCOUNT???! 😭😭😭 but i would happily marry jumin. so yeah at this point it was pretty much guaranteed i was getting the good ending, didnt get the bad ending during the route so we are here with jumin being very romantic in the chat room! 🫢

💙 JUMIN’S GOOD ENDING

homestretch! we made it to day 11 of the party!! the new home screen again is sooo cute. i didn't know they changed it up when it's party day! also looking at everyone, realized that jumin is So Cute. i love his looks. just a very handsome guy. love him for that. i am going to make this extremely short because i am now tired of doing all of this analysis and deep thinking. i want to make funnies of jumin and my headcannons of him now. scrumgus. i don't even know if that's the right word i'm thinking of but the energy scrumgus gives describes my love for jumin yay! it was nice seeing the rfa meet mc for the first time in person, and it was also great that the entire party was voiced! it felt weird hearing them talk tbh its like. i only know their voices from their little emojis. and the occasional phone calls. okay but that is getting off track. loved how dramatic jumin was for this party. he invited glam choi and sarah, and had this Great Big Speech that sarah was totally in love with, and instead it ended up being about mc. lmaooo. i cannot remember but was jumin the one who chose mc's dress? or am i just remembering wrong? idk. i also need to read the after ending (after forgetting that it existed for a second!)

🐱 FINAL CONCLUSION

wow. jumin's route was definitely a very big and twisty roller coaster. i wish i had completed the common routes before replaying jumin's route again just to be able to see and compare how emotionally open jumin was in his route compared to in other routes? like, we get a glimpse of just your everyday business jumin in the common route, but idk. i just wish i got screentime(?) of everyone in general too!

i love jumin a lot. after living his life filled with these expectations of being a ceo. being the perfect employee (which i also found interesting to hear about how everyone had admired/looked up to him at work. he's definitely skilled at what he does, and he barely mentions anything about that himself!) and then the way he began to actually open up? love that for him.

i love jumin a lot actually. and it was pretty nice for me to look over and think about everything after completing his route in general. even though my memory is garbage (tbh had to heavily rely on the screenshots i took), i liked being able to take the time to kinda add in my thoughts on everything while i typed this all out. literally did not do any thinking at all. i have no brain or patience for that and i rarely write this big ass essays or whatever this ended up becoming??? nice change. idk if i'll ever do this again, not my style and i had to force myself to finish this. also am Nervous of posting this T_T. but yeah! i love jumin. i am a jumin stan. and again, if anyone would like to correct me or add on to anything that i have written here, that would be very cool with me! review that got pretty rushed in the end is finally done hooray!
