remember who you are weird girl

i'm really glad i played a fair chunk of aitsf before this (and i played DR years ago) it's really fun seeing the influences from both creators now 😆

yessss i will holler when i get to Hollering Things

i got this game almost a year ago but... it's finally time to crack it open even if for a few weeks 😅 i know absolutely nothing yay yay yay

sorry to hear all this, hope things get better for you soon :( 🙏

makoto furukawa i have words for you (thanks for making me sob) #barishana

not me typoing in my own image. this is my punshiment. 😭

am i biased? i sure fucking am thanks for coming to my ted talk

while you're here can i interest you in my rant of how oniisan routes get dogged on constantly and yet tomomori is standing in the awkward cousin corner hoping no one actually pays attention #barishana

#barishana
tomomori route - what a mess of a route 😭 benkei route!tomomori best tomomori imo i don't understand what the writers were trying to do here this was a huge swing and miss for me on the enemies to lovers front, they neutered his fun qualities so so so fast

#barishana
yoritomo route - hello my bias is here the last time i felt so fed start to finish was jj kai and i had the best of times cracking open this sad sad aniue man. the hesitation, the yearning, the self inflicted restrictions, oh my GODDDD THE UNLEASH OF IT ALL ONCE HE COULD... yoritomo ilu

#barishana
shungen route - i really don't like surprise yans and i never will, this got even worse when the narrative essentially eliminated shana from the driver seat which she was doing HERSELF.. just not a fan... not a fan at all.. also this twist was so easy to read so meh

#barishana
- benkei route - idk why people sleep on this guy outside the age gap i felt him and shana had fantastic communication/growth and the bond was easy to see growing.. he got mega shafted by the ending battle and lackluster ends but i'm excited for more of him in fd

#barishana
nori route - no doki dokis for me but i DID like how he loves shanao for who she is and this is also the only route he broadens his horizons so we take that, his cave & bad end cg were 🔥

image is easier for my rankings shenanigans because things got really dicey under my predicted and correct favorite lol #barishana

#barishana is doneee ⚔️ my very personal thoughts below with spoilers probably:

overall an enjoyable time, it landed like a solid 3/5 for me with the main dings being the repetitive historical events and the (dreadful) localization

highs were high, the art was stunning and shana is a great MC imo

yall ready for some really spicy bari takes (i say half joking but fully aware i don't align with the majority of players)

biru main routes done...... 👀

finally got up to an hour walking while catching up on wha and ganbare nakamura.. time to finish biru and then one last yama dinner later with the bff 🥰 teuta dish so good i'ma get it again

i kinda want to start renovating my tomo island but at the same time i also want to make all the miis i had planned... decision paralysis at its worst rn

this gets funnier the longer you think on eiT events and knowing how zenn is in certain endings

IM CRYINGGGG OH MY GODDD NOT THE TYRIL CEILING LOVE CONFESSION CRYPTID GET OUT

I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT BUT IT WAS NOT THAT

meanwhile the guy is constantly annoying his boyfriends cas and zenn like god intended

probably the funniest thing so far for my tomo island is how lucien is constantly trying to befriend tyril and tyr wants absolutely nothing to do with it

😭😭😭 cas u kept the rose corsage on you absolute LOSER

no explanation for any of this (i did enjoy cas being the devil on lucien's shoulder telling him to sleep more) #tomobari

(simultaneously okay and not happy with this) guess i will tomolife and then anime walkies time

it’s the weekend so i am naturally up even earlier than a work day
