it feels particularly good when the fmc steps up and subverts expectations placed on her~ especially if it makes the other lead flustered/surprised because they were expecting her to be more innocent or fearful

This isn't just about me 😥 So many people don't understand how essential she is and will bully otome devs for NOT making amare games bc they're expecting a fluid protagonist (ie: what happened to homicypher dev). The concrete lines are necessary for proper expectations

I disagree with the idea that being able to choose she/her as pronouns = female protagonist, as there is a lot more nuance to the female experience than pronouns that is left out in writing that isn't expecting the protagonist to be a woman. The MC isn't "anyone", she is someone and critical.

btw, here is the first draft of the outfit.

also btw, I had compiled all the calomel comics on ao3. observe over here:
archiveofourown.org/works/76664906

after a quick review of my timeline i feel the need to point to the sign

medusaglare › Artemis I| 7h @ Threads i thought i stopped caring about space. turns out I was just sick of SpaceX, not NASA. • 18.3K Q145 G807ł → 143

Speaking of Threads, this one got me in the feels.

I don't do much manga consuming these days, but I did immediately think of Endo even though sxf is considered a shonen. I think it's because the designs for both men and women aren't fanservicey by default and there a lot of shojo moments, which isn't exactly "gazey" but it makes me happy at least

one of the upsides of AO3 being down is that I feel less pressed about my delayed updates, but I like looking at my own stuff while I am working so that's also a downside 😔

pattern recognition failure 😔

holy fuck

some may argue that girls, by default, hate other girls 😔

opened yumekuro for the first time in at least a year, surely, and it finally actually finished loading and I can enter the game again 🥺 ahhh I missed everyone I have to get to reading the rest of the mains story later....

I have an odd lurker behavior where I rarely retweet stuff unless it's something I need to remember or find inspriational, so I don't always retweet things I like

also the cute descriptions of the icons 🥺

i continue to adore the chibis...

why buy the new sims 4 pack when I can just play my GOAT the sims 3 medieval

I know this is surely about slush, but, because of air pollution and all the particles snow collects as it falls, you could say all snow is a little dirty these years... 😔

you should get a large crispy loaf of bread and punch that. it's easier on the hand and also delicious unless you have a gluten intolerance

I'm always amused/fascinated when I get kudos by the same person across multiple IoD fics. I frame each in the series as independent-able, but they read another or more anyways. like... you sticking around?? I'm flattered...

this is why you gotta fire shots every once in a while to keep down the rent and deter tourists

i heard some kind of weird spore was spotted around here
