I Am so glad that my first time reading Dracula is through Dracula Daily and Re:Dracula. It is so immersive reading along with Mr. Harker, whose voice actor is incredible btw, all of them are!!!! Cannot recommend it enough

tw: romanticization of incest, csa in gaming
Tumblr media
isn’t it crazy how i can tell by an art style at this point that a creator is unironically into weird abusive sex shit? ugh when i saw the first chapter of this “rawr edgy XD” ass rpg visual novel game the relationship between the two main characters was already off bc duh it’s a horror game so a sociopathic narcissistic codependent bond between murderous siblings is a bit expected but then the behavior toed the line on inappropriate inc*stous underpinnings is when i started feeling sick. it was vague enough to raise some hairs but not set off major alarms until this month after Chapter 2 of the game released 😨.
there is something so chronically online about this subset of horror that comes from the minds of those uncritically engage with sex via p*rnhub, hentai, & like, awful harem anime. like a generation of kids who grew up with the internet became adults and then had gen z progeny with artistic inclinations. i find it ironic that in a modern age where normal like nonexploitative, nonabusive intimacy is so hard to come by that the current norm is to reactively romanticize abuse as kink, that the general public has fallen down the rabbit hole of sexualizing their familial relationships. instead of like, going out and meeting new unrelated ppl to create healthy sexual bonds with.
but anyway my concern is triggered bc ive only heard of this game and watched a playthru of the first installment bc of big gaming streamers like Manly, who im pretty sure has a legion of young viewers, uncritically consuming this content & not at the very least be given caveats on the behavior exhibited content therein. bc a lot of kids wont know how to process some of those themes shown, hell even most legal adults clearly dont & shit like this runs the risk of having those that are underage romanticize the abuse they may be CURRENTLY going through at the hands of family members.
Tumblr media
(clear fan service for the “choke me daddy is my personality” demographic)
The game isn’t even good, especially narrative-wise m. & other than the artstyle being cohesive and ticking everybody’s doomer e-girl/e-boy box, the narrative is really all it has and even that’s trash. this doesn’t qualify as horror, it’s more so doomer nihilist Ao3 dead dove fic. Cruel Intentions (movie) for the weeb crowd & this time, banging you with a mallet over the head with incest shipping. 😐 fandom is way too generous in giving more complex thought & characterization to poor storytelling, as always.
the reasons the main characters are so “justifiably” unhinged bc of their shitty psycho parents is just… so over done and cheap when it comes to these types of edgelord games clearly meant to tittilate/cause shipping wars to generate/maintain popularity bc the narrative certainly isn’t enough to do that, and the creators know it. these are self insert “im not like other ppl” tropes, not characters.
as someone who enjoys and consumes a lot of dark, horror centric media, it frustrates me that games & stories like this are everywhere nowadays & popularized, even in literary romance fiction. Like… The Never King 😭 cmon, objectively awful writing that hinges itself on sex/sexuality but can’t even execute it in an engaging erotic manner is so popular rn. we are starved for true sexiness as a culture and that’s so paradoxical!
seeing this reddit post sealed the deal on the bad vibes the community and fans this game is garnering gave me🚨:

I was jonesin' for some traditional animation (as one does) so I slapped on The Lion King (1994) to rewatch while I draw today. I have not rewatched the whole thing in decades, which is ridiculous because I was bonkers for that movie when I was a kid. And you know, I think if I was a grown-up artist my age now when it came out in theaters, and I went to see it, and saw that opening Circle Of Life sequence on that giant screen without knowing at all what to expect beforehand, I think I would have straight up passed out. I would have been losing my mind. The way these motherfuckers painted the LIGHT in the backgrounds! The beautifully saturated colors! The way the animals all move! The song! I've paused the movie so I can go back to the beginning and watch that shit again. What the fuck. They did that!!!!

normal thing to say about your dear friend who you think is really cute and charming and hard-working and basically the perfect wife material
#hamefura#my next life as a villainess#otome game no hametsu flag#aaand rewatch done! now my honest thoughts#good start. the middle is kinda boring. ep 8 doesn't exist don't worry about it#this anime draws me in in the same way that Futari Wa does#in that it has a fascinating main cast and a very vague skeleton of a worldbuilding that leaves me wanting to overthink it#unstructured thoughts incoming:#Geordo's still a creep and no matter how much the story wants me to like him I just can't#Keith's siscon is very Yikes! and that's so bad because I love his and Katarina's relationship as siblings#Katarina lowkey thinks Sophia is a freak but never kinkshames her and that's so bestiecore of her. they're soulmates your honor#Mary is SUCH A LESBIAN holy shit. I did not remember how much lesbian she is#I'm lowkey annoyed that the show frames her attraction to Katarina as “haha funny isn't she weird?!”#like in the sleepover episode she was describing the things she'd like to do with her beloved and she's being like. normal about it#but the soundtrack does a silly and I'm like. wow this anime does not like her huh#I swear Geordo and Keith are even weirder about Katarina than she is but the anime always gives them slack about it#unless they're having their homoerotic squabbles. which is to say the anime does Not Like The Queer Coding of the story#I'm sure there are worse examples of weeb homophobia but there are a couple moments I saw in the manga but not here!#anyway where was I. Oh right. Ascart Sibs Autusm 👍🏼#Nicol doesn't have much presence in the story due to his quiet nature which is so sad because his inner world is intriguing#he's such a good friend. loyal and caring. I wish we got more of him in this season#and finally: Maria. God. what is there to say about her that I haven't already#the girl came in with a 7 year disadvantage on her rivals and yet Katarina is all over her!#rewatching season 1 is so weird because I could swear she had more presence than she really does because holy shit#Katarina loves her! so much! wtf#maybe I'm remembering season 2?#anyway these are my thoughts on doomflags season 1#2nd watch edition#oh I almost forgot#romance in chiaroscuro

I was painting and the religious-fanatic teacher came to me and started asking questions about my work. I answered them and I was ready to go on with my day and she goes "we used to talk more when you were well..."
And I stopped dead in my tracks and looked at her like "wtf" because lady you are under 2 wrong assumptions here:
I would let YOU of all people be aware of my mental state or personal life or anything that concerns ME at all.
That we had some kind of amicable relationship to begin with? No, I don't know how you got the wrong impression since I just ever talked to you after I disagreed with your views, criticized you and almost fought with you because you said something both incredibly stupid and triggering... just because I've kept things civil doesn't mean I don't consider you anything other than a pretentious asshole.
The audacity of this woman, to think she can come to me and act all motherly and attentive while trying to get her nose in my personal life while bringing up a past bond which never fricking existed????? What like do you miss our disagreements???
And I just told her, "But... I'm good tho" which is not 100% true, but that's none of her business anyway
And she goes "yeah but you were even better"
BITCH????? No I wasn't? I'm not doing super now but I've vastly improved since last year so idk are you tripping or something???? And then she says something else about my work and keeps talking to me and I'm being civil and cordial because I'm not a rude asshole even if he doesn't even deserve this courtesy for the way she treats us.
Idk what's wrong with her, like she thinks I'm some kind of "problematic kidTM" for the way I look who needs salvation?? Which is not true, I don't need you as a mother. I already have a loving family and friends. Thank you and get the hell away from me????
And even if I were looking for someone's help for anything, I would NEVER in a hundred thousand years go to her for it. Not even for a broken nail lol.
She would probably tell me to go to church and confess or some shit. She already told me to call a confessor for my grandma because she had a little accident when she heard me talking about it with someone else... fkn hell.

some lil flower inspired guys!!
#h doodles#character design tag#oc#elmud#neiri#ITS 1AM WHSDGHSD IM SO TIRED BUT I STILL WANNA DRAW THEM#their lore is rather Confused atm but like all i got is uhh#neiri was cursed to be trapped in the Dream Realm (tm) and every time they appear in someone's dream they are promptly forgotten#if they can be like. remembered. their curse will be broken and they'll be freed back into the living world!! yippee!!#they think being fun/interesting makes em memorable so they have this >:3 facade when meeting new dreamers#doesnt work obv; neiri is secretly extremely lonely </3 creep behavior but they make sock dolls of their dreamer friends#and keep them in a knapsack that neiri always carries around#ENTER ELMUD. a knight who gets exploded in battle and is in a coma for probably idk more than 10 days and neiri meets him in his dreams#they bond and neiri tells him about their curse and elmud promises to remember them asking neiri to keep visiting in dreams till he does#a year straight of dreams later neiri (heartbroken) gives up; elmud begins to realize he isn't dreaming anymore and is like hm! didnt i#used to dream a lot? idk what they were about anymore tho (which is the first step to remembering neiri)#eventually elmud comes across some forget me nots growing by a remote stream and is like GASP???? NEIRI#and neiri's curse is broken!! and elmud finds em at the stream's endpoint and they hug and cry and hug and hug and hu#elmud then takes neiri back to his home kingdom and neiri becomes the royal mage's apprentice and they and elmud obv develop feelings#for each other but they are both way too shy to say anything#homies who kiss :') there was like an original plotline where elmud is actually a magic user bc he can perform floromancy (a la maude)#and seeks out a mage (neiri?) for guidance abt his powers and gifts em flowers he creates :') might be an au who knows#im not entirely satisfied bc i havent gotten to draw their full outfits yet BUT its late and tomorrow will be busy </3#VERY RARE INSTANCE of me drawing faces abt the same size. once in a lifetime#fun fact neiri was cursed by the royal mage of many centuries ago which they discover in ancient texts in the royal library#neiri was 17 and lived in like an eternal time loop so they didnt age </3 or really mature tbh they never visited anyone older than like 20#so. ZERO wisdom gained SDFHHSDF#also neiri is afraid of falling asleep. and also elmud is afraid of waking up#every day theyre like oh thank god my boy bestie is still here#okay. wel. good NIGHT GOOD NIGHT

Ur super right to avoid those kinds of events bc they very quickly turn terfy and antagonistic towards anyone they deem too masculine
yeah that's what im saying like it's blatantly transparent to me where that's headed. at this point any exclusion of anyone, yes even cis men, is an immediate red flag.

You know it's always a weird feeling but also very satisfying when after not knowing for so long you finally get the answer to a tiny question you've had for years
#okay so let me explain#or more like give an example#when i was like 12 or 13 i was really into german minecraft youtubers#and i watched this one guy specifically a Lot#and he always had a series going on that had a little storyline with some plot every episode#and i think he had some mods that made references to famous shows or movies or something like that#anyways#at some point in a video he was mining as you do in minecraft and there was this random statue of a sad angel that got closer to him#whenever he didn't look at it#and i didn't know what that was but it creeped me the fuck out#(i recently rewatched that series which is why i remember this)#and now#Now i'm watching doctor who#and get to the episode about the weeping angels#and just#something clicks and now it all makes sense#like i really do not know why that was in his minecraft episode the series had Nothing to do with doctor who and those angels were also#very irrelevant to the plot of the series#but now i know What That Was#and idk i just think that's funny#how after Years of not knowing something i accidentally get the right information i need to answer that specific question#also i've had this situation before where in 5th grade i was walking around in my school and a classmate i didn't really know was crying and#talking to someone and i was wondering what was going on and why she was crying#and then years later in 9th grade i become friends with that classmate who was crying and at some point she tells me the story of what#happened that day#and i had completely forgotten about that but when she told me the story i just remembered and was like 'oh yea i was wonder what happened'#so yeah#i like moments like that a lot actually#lea's random thoughts
