#thinking abt the old otome i used to play

modern otome games dont do it for me anymore bc even though some of them let you pick pronouns/gender, theyre still heavily written for women (which is fair, its OTOME game for a reason, i stopped being their target demographic years ago) who specifically love to be dominated and/or degrated to different degrees, most of the time being seduced/whisked away lowkey against their will, which leads me to believe modern otome are the equivalent of those books for sexually repressed wives
#thinking abt the old otome i used to play#that was the wildest fucking scenarios ever#like#oh yeah youre the sultan's new adopted daughter#you can now bang his other adopted sons. who are extremely hot and into you#or hey. youre cinderella#straight up cinderella. pick a prince to marry and avoid some royal scandal and dabble in the world of politics#to avoid waging war against the other kingdoms#or hey. you had a car accident years ago and the ptsd makes you unable to sleep at night#its been like 10 years so your bestie recommends you hire a sleeping boyfriend who just helps you sleep#so its some guy counting sheep to you and finding out about your repressed trauma and coping mechanisms and helping you thru it#or hey#a star fell from the sky#thats a guy! he says hes your boyfriend!#the gods sent him to learn to be human so he doesn't become a shitty god when he grows up#OR NEKOMIMIS AVOID BEING HUNT DOWN BY POACHERS AND HIDE IN YOUR HOUSE#like theyre all wild but softer than whatever is happening nowadays#like with what in hell is bad. or obey me. or all those other specific demon otomes#like. there was one abt dating the reaper. an angel. or a demon. and in their routes theyre saving you from the other two#but you genuinely got to know them to such a personal degree it stopped being an otome at points like#what do you mean the reaper has abandoned the concept of friendship bc everything he touches dies#so hes torn between killing you to continue this cycle or saving you to prove hes more than a bringer of death#now its just#horny.... or the MC is useless.......

i'm into anime, music and video games!

girlies idk if any of nyall have played tailor tales but im playing it rn bc apparently this one dude (dimitri) is supposed to be “””submissive””” but …. i have so many thoughts abt this im gonna rant
SPOILERS FOR TAILOR TALES DIMITRI ROUTE
ok im not finished yet but im in the climax (haha) of the story and girls girls girls i am so fuckin peeved off
first of all!!! 1) i would not call this a submissive route by a long shot. it still has every single otome trope of “omg he’s a man…” “he so tall and strong 😳😳” “it’s kinda weird that im 4 years older than him 😖”
like yes he’s shy and blushes a lot but that’s lichrally like the only submissive trait about him? once he gets horned up he “”switches your positions”” and becomes dominant, holding ur wrists down and shit and im sitting here tapping my watch like that judge judy gif waiting for an opportunity to be a dominant MC in my dominant MC route. like what?? who could possibly think that he’s submissive in this route??
2) when MC’s crusty ex boyfriend & his gf come harassing the MC for some reason her dumb ass thinks it’s “a bit excessive” to get security cameras inside and outside her boutique?? bitch huh?? they’re sending u mail and wrecking ur flowers and shredding ur packages and u think it’s a bit excessive??? first one to die in a horror movie syndrome right here girls
3) i get that some people like this but i HAAATE the slow burn “why am i jealous of him hanging out w other girls?” “why am i flustered when he’s shirtless?” type bullshit like im curious are people actually that dumb irl?? like babe ur either horny or in love it’s not fucking rocket science
4) on top of this, dimitri has shown very clear signs that he likes the MC. he even skraight up blurts out “i like you!” like despite the fact he retracts that and covers it up with some dumb “i mean ur a girl and i like girls” excuse im like PLEASE. USE UR BRAIN.
he takes pics of you, he blushes all the time around u, he likes it when u tease him and not ur alpha bestie sarah (god i wish we were sarah), HE HAS A PIC OF U TWO AS HIS SCREENSAVER, and MC is STILL like “wow… does he like me?? am i crazy??”
like yes bitch. ur crazy, but not for the reason u think. ur crazy for being SO DAMN OBLIVIOUS that even dimitri smacking u in the face with a neon sign that says “im in love with u” wouldn’t be enough to convince u!!
5) MC’s too polite 👿 when i think dominant i think someone who’s not afraid to stand up for shit when they think it’s right, and when dimitri gets slapped by his own mother instead of beating her senile ass into mince meat you’re STILL CORDIAL WITH HER???!!!
i’d be dragging her out of my damn shop by her karen haircut i can tell u that fucking much!!
6) on top of all that….. keep in mind that MC and dimitri have made out like four times at this point and just a few minutes earlier dimitri LITERALLY SAID “you’re special to me” SOMEHOW AIRHEAD MC IS STILL SURPRISED WHEN HE CONFESSES HIS LOVE FOR HER!!???!!!??
i seriously…. im … fucking seriously i couldn’t. there have been so many points in this story where im like “bitch are you dumb?” but this was takemichi-throwing-away-his-only-weapon-in-a-gang-fight dumb. as in i had to literally stand up from my computer, pace my room, and contemplate my existence because i just don’t understand what the fuck is going on in here on this day
i got so frustrated from that moment that that’s what spurred me to write this rant. i lichrally don’t think i could calm down otherwise because i am just in absolute awe at the sheer brainlessness of this MC. the current line of dialogue that remains frozen on my screen is “He what now?!”
also just an unrelated pet peeve but man i wish people who were horny for each other would just fuckin act on it more. MC is mad horny for dimitri and she just criticises herself for being a “horny teenager” when she’s only twenty-fucking-three dude??? does MC think that 23 year olds don’t fuck??? why is she acting like she’s retirement age or some shit?? fuck it, even old cunts in retirement are getting pussy! why does she think it’s so shameful to be horny as a 23 YEAR OLD???!!!
don’t get me wrong though. i still like the game, i love the fashion maker part of it and indie games w this much effort should always be supported imo. but im just disappointed that i went into this game expecting it to be a different spin on the same tired otome tropes we’ve seen over and over and instead it’s just regurgitating every single cliche
absolutely no hate on the dev(s?) this is just my critique of it— calling dimitri a submissive route just bc he blushes & can cook is a complete wrong move. he’s not submissive, MC is not dominant (just cheeky), and i doubt any predominantly dom fans would see them as such. the entire route gives me the vibe of “a predominantly submissive person trying — and failing — to write a dominant one”
no shame or shade if u can’t do that btw, we all have our strengths, im sure i would suck shit at writing a submissive MC if i were making an otome. but it’s like… either commit to the bit and learn how to write dominant MCs better, or stick to ur strengths and continue writing submissive ones.
anyway sorry for the wall of text i just had to vent my frustrations. it is SEVERELY disheartening to get ur hopes up for some good rep and instead getting….. whatever this is
that being said if anyone of nyall like fashion and don’t mind being a *cough* sub *cough* i do recommend tailor tales, it’s on steam for anyone who’s interested!

I saw that ur requests were open! Can I request headcanons for the brother+undsts if possible? It's a weird one.. so I've been playing otome games since forever and I've used the same oc for every game. The ultimate mc, they know some shit cuz they've seen some shit..
Continually mc has been transported, transfer or moved to weird places just to meet the same group of people. The older sadistic ahole, ore-sama, I don't like you at the beginning,shy otaku, always angry-tsundere, the horny one, the twinsTM, youngest cute one who's 100% a yandere, himbo/bimbo/bimboy, shady ahole, questionable aged one and the secret character/villain.
I think the brothers and undats would be put off abt mc reaction to everything, having their threatened, people just dying infront of them, dying themselves, going to sleep through the day and going to school at night, and being really good at any type of magic. They expertly know how to defuse situations, mostly it's them bullshiting their way out.. I feel like mc would know some of the supernatural beings in the devil dom do to their prior experiences.
~~~~
Random demon: Well well well if it isn't little 'ol mc!
Brothers: *on alert*
Mc: REGGIE?! HOW ARE YOU!*hugging demon*
Leviathan:*is jealous* do you know him mc?
Mc: Uh YES! We use to go to the same school together! He really helped me alot!
Demon-Reggie: *blushing* aww..
~~~~
Mc: ah.. went from 7 gods.. to 7 demons at least I have some demon experience..
Lucifer: excuse me?
Mc: yeah Zeus summond me to help his son and 6 of his friends who were outta touch with humans.. I assume I'm doing the same here?
Diavolo: you have demon experience?
Mc: yeah a school I went to before apparently was filled with demons and vampires.. and something about me being the key to get some book.
Mammon: *gulp*vampires*shaking*
Mc: you're a demon and you're afraid of vampires? I mean I wasn't to surprise... at least I wasn't a sacrifial bride... again..
Leviathan: w-were there werewolves?
Mc: you bet your ass there were werewolves!
~~~~
Mc and co: *at one of dia's party
Noble vampire lady: *walks up to mc and co* well hello me~
Lucifer: good evening Lady Goodmore...
Lady Goodmore: And you.. now mc... whatever happened to that meeting huh?
Mc: o-oh.. um... weeellll.... somethings came up.
Lady Goodmore: would you like to dance?
Mammon: HA! NO WAY MC SAID THEY DANCE WITH ME!
~~~~
Mc: *at a café with asmo* hmm I really like this Strawberry banana smoothie
Asmo: yeah! Too bad they were out of the carmel hazelnut ice coffee*down turn*
Group of succubus: WAAAHHH! MC!
Mc: huh!?*tackled by group*
Succubus 1: WAAH! MC YOU NEVER REPLIED TO MY TEXT!
Succubus 2: YEAH!! I KEPT TRYING TO CALL YOOU BUT YOU NEVER ANSWERED!
Mc: sorry ladies but I lost my old phone I'm sorry..
Succubus 3: YOU NEED TO TREAT US TO A DATE RIGHT NOW!!
Asmo: *gets completely ignored* w-wait..*succubuses pick up and run away with mc* WAIT HEY! MCCC!
~~~~
Levi & mammon: *Arguing*
Satan & belphie: *planing to prank lucifer*
Solo & barbie: *barbie trying to teach solo to cook* *putting whole egg in mixing bowl*
Mc: *scrolling through ddd*
Witch: OHOH~ if it isn't my favorite mc!
Solo: Great Witch Angela?
Mammon: *hide behind levi* Oh shit..
Belphie: *who dares touch his mc*
Mc: *not looking up* oh hi Angie
Witch Angela: you never came to your magic les-*sees Solomon* YOU'VE BEEN CHEATING ON ME WITH THAT BASTARD!*sees mammon* AND YOU!
Mc: h-hey... Angie let's calm down
Hi! First of all I would like to apologize because it took me so long to even reply but I am not able to fulfill ypur request since I have only played ObeyMe and MM and I can't even tell which games you are talking about.
But as I cannot make this I would like to post this since anyone else with more experience with otomes can make this request a reality.

Hi dearest Saint! Hope you had a great day and sending you all 💕 I have a question and not sure how to ask u after all the recent things that happened on ur page. Forgive me I don't want to give off bad vibes, I'm just worried.
It kinda worries me these few days after an anon reader of mine slide in a message, nothing dramatic tho, but just politely asking me if I'm inspired by SN/SY. And then I also saw this Ask of yours and I get a bit more concerned. So I decided to let you know first.
I'm currently writing a jjk fic in a form of otome game styled with different endings. Similar to fate series and Mystic Messenger game with diff endings. But at the moment it started off with Gojo. In contrast to SN/SY, it's the FL that is amnesiac. And also their marriage was a marriage of convenience, consented and not arranged. I do understand that amnesia and arranged marriage genre are quite common in romance melodrama.
So, I think I understand why the anon reader send me the message. Fortunately, the reader is quite polite though, not toxic.
I read sn and sy and followed the entire journey last year. I'm not gonna lie, your writing inspired me to write again. I used to write fanfic about 8y back when I was in college and then I stopped and deleted my acct because of lack of time and work but, I still sumtimes read on Tumblr. I didn't write until last year as I was going through so many things and I found SN. Omg how you wrote it just brings back the fire in me, and I tell myself, you used to love to write,just why don't u enjoy ur old hobby again.
To be very honest, I've read so many manga/manhwa and watched kdrama/jdrama, played otome games and read light novels so I mix and match some stories from here and there, to come up with a plot for my fic and I'm worried if other readers might try to exaggerate and create a drama of a copy/plagiarism issue.
So, I want to be honest, I'm not trying to copy sn/sy, I love your touch in the fic so much I don't want to have a bad relationship with u. If you don't mind, I might want you to see if what I have here right now can cause a problem in the future, which I really want to avoid. If you have suggestions I'm open to amend, even if I have to drop this and start a new one. I really don't mind.
I'm so sorry, Saint. I know recently there's too many things going on. I don't want to add on any so that's why I come to inform you because I don't know, I just have a bad feeling if I continue on writing and then one day, baam someone just had nothing good to say and then boom drama happen. TQ for your time to read this. I can't send you a message so I send in an Ask, I'm sorry for that. You don't have to post this Ask, you can also drop me a message. Thanks Saint 😘.
that’s okay!! thanks for reaching out to me. keep writing as long as it makes you happy <3 what i just don’t particularly like is when people copy the flow of sn/sy’s plot, copy direct dialogues and quotes, and basically use my series as a template for their series (without credit and/or speaking to me abt it first).
sn/sy has lots of inspos too and i make sure to put that on the series masterlist as well as the faqs page. i guess you can do the same with whichever inspos you have for your series :)

Welp, it happened...
I tried to fight it and I think ultimately I put up a very good fight but, inevitably, I lost and now I have descended into the rabbit hole...
Tumblr media
...I started Twisted Wonderland and I AM IN LOVE!!! I just finished up chapter 2 last night and I have not experienced this level of serotonin since before the pandemic. Under the cut are just a few of my reactions/favorite moments to far. 
Warning: pic heavy with lots of incoherent babbling, some swearing, and a lot of Malleus-oogling. 
Tumblr media
Oh, well that carriage seems perfectly safe and not suspicious in the slightest! 
Tumblr media
Mister, are you alright? Is there something you need to talk about because I’m seeing a theme here with you...
Tumblr media
IS THAT A LUCKY FUCKING EMBLEM?!?!?!
Tumblr media
Is it bad that I already ship these two clowns with each other? They’re giving me some serious lea/isa vibes...
Tumblr media
See?! Even the MC agrees!
Tumblr media
13 seconds in the opening did NOT have to go that hard RIGHT OFF THE BAT!!!
Tumblr media
HELLO BEAUTIFUL!!! I like this one! He’s gonna be a favorite of mine, I can already tell! 😍😍😍
Tumblr media
HIM TOO!!! Ohhhhh, I know nothing abt him but my god, his style, his aura, HIS EVERYTHING!! ITS ALL PERFECT! 👀👀👀
Tumblr media
AND HE’S ONE OF MY FIRST CARDS TOO!!! I actually got three versions of Malleus on my first pull, it’s a sign I think...
Tumblr media
SIR!!! 👀
Tumblr media
IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE GASTON?! 😂
Tumblr media
My brother took one look at this guy and said he looked like Michel B Jordan. He’s right and now I can’t unsee it. 😭
Tumblr media
I don’t give a fuck if you’re centuries old, I AM ADOPTING YOU! I HAVE DECIDED!!!
Tumblr media
YOU TOO!
Tumblr media
I get this is supposed to be terrifying but I really dig this design.
Tumblr media
Dude really refused said “this could have been a zoom call” and took that to heart. I wish I could get away with that in real life without risking my job...
Tumblr media
But in all seriousness, why does no one ever invite Mal? From what I’ve seen, he seems very sweet. 😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THERE HE IS! THERE HE IS! THERE HE IS! THERE HE IS! THERE HE...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sir, please, I’m begging you...LOOK ME IN THE EYES AND TELL ME AGAIN THAT THIS ISN’T AN OTOME GAME
Tumblr media
Hornton? HORNTON?! Okay, so I researched enough before playing that I knew already that MC’s name for Mal was Tsunotaro, why not just use that instead of something that sounds like it’s from a Dr. Seuss book?!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
AWWWWEEEE! But seriously, I’ve seen this film before, PROTECT CHEKA AT ALL COSTS! ❤❤❤❤❤
Tumblr media
*KHUX NA PTSD intensifies*
Tumblr media
Alexa, play  Gortoz a ran
Seriously tho, I hope we get new story soon since apparently there are afew more chapters already available. I won’t go looking for them right away tho, let’s see if Aniplex NA can do better than Square...

So I got to play both the Normal and Good endings, and honestly I liked the Normal one a little more. I get that Saeran is very forgiving now towards both Rika and Saejoong, but I agree with Seven. I guess I feel as protective of him as his brother does lol. I AM glad that they both went to jail and of course Jumin helped V get a good lawyer. Always count on him to help his friends ☺️ (even though V betrayed him) I also liked that Jumin didn't win the election and got his old job back in the normal ending. I was like "Juju honey, I love you but Idk abt a job in politics for ya." He's good at his job at C&R and he seems like he enjoys it. Also I LOVED this interaction btw Zen and Jumin 😂 I love my clueless man so much~
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm really glad Vanderwood got to go back home, this is the most we've seen him and I enjoyed seeing his personality and his reluctant association with Saeyoung. Speaking of Saeyoung, I'm so happy he gets to spend time with his brother and the player in both endings. And Saeran! Omg that proposal made my heart flutter. And I love that he has a greenhouse~ I will say I LOVED the ending CG with all 3 sitting in a field of flowers ❤️ Also I loved seeing all 3 versions of Saeran in the ending video.
This was a great finale for the game that was well worth the wait. U can tell they took our criticism from V's After Ending and tried their hardest to make sure most of us would love these 2 endings. I loved being able to be as savage towards Rika as I could and giving our sweet, cupcake boy ALL the love he deserves ❤️❤️ Thank you @cheritzteam for this fantastic game and all the characters we came to love. It's crazy to think that this was my first game into the otome genre, I was Saeyoung and Saeran's age. Now, 4 years later I'm the same age as my Jumin and I still love this game as much as I did in the beginning.
I guess this it for my live reactions to Saeran's After Ending, I'll do the other bad endings eventually. It's been a while since I played and I forgot what it's like to wake up all sleepy to do the late night chats lol. Might play the Christmas DLC to get some sweet, fluffy loving for the end of the year! I hope everyone else enjoys this After Ending and Jumin's Bad After Ending~

Jakou no Lyla - Trap of musk: European night
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Come, look at me. In return, I'll show you the most wonderful dream.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well, I'm supposed to study for an exam, I thought I'll only procrastinate & play for a litttle bit, but... Welcome to the newest hell I'm currently stuck in - Jakou no Lyla (人´ω`*)♡
It is originally a 3 part PC otome game but has been ported to the Switch. This game is one out of 3 games from triAngle project, so... there is a Spy Ending where MC will be with both guys ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Longer details under cut. 
Part 1 European Night - Vince Lugan (seiyuu Taniyama Kishou, e.g. Amnesia Memories Ikki) on the left hand side of the above photo - Rolan Crydelle (seiyuu Tachibana Shinnosuke e.g. MidCin Louis) on the right hand side of the above photo, my 2nd fav
Part 2 Asian Night - Korei Rin (seiyuu Okitsu Kazuyuki, e.g. Brothers Conflict Masaomi) the white hair guy sniffing MC's shoulder in 1st photo, my fav :3 - Kirei Rin (seiyuu Sato Takuya) the black hair guy at top right corner in the 1st photo
Part 3 Arabian Night - Lizaru Shanasa (seiyuu Morikawa Toshiyuki, e.g. DL Carla) the tan-skin guy with a whip in 1st photo - Jemiru (seiyuu Murase Ayumu) the guy with upside-down net bra(?lol) over his eyes in 1st photo 
The popular ranking (voted in Oct 2019) result is Lizaru (1), Jemiru (2), Kirei (3), Korei (4), Vince (5), Rolan (6). 
Tumblr media
Vince: ... I want you
MC uses her special tattoo to seduce Vince, it is working... kinda. But Vince is a tough cookie, he realizes something isn't right with himself, grasps his short sword and squeezes his right hand on the sharp blade in front of the  speechless MC. He wants the pain to pull him away from the desire for MC.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
V: Come in... Hey, turn this way. Look at me, Y...
During the Conference break, V saw MC talking with Rolan on the way to the market. He got very grumpy aweee. At the market, R fell down, MC helped R get up and her clothes got muddy too. When she returns to the palace, grumpy Vince saw her muddy clothes and told her to take a bath with him. He tried to kiss her but she pushed him away, poor V :’(
Tumblr media
Y: Rolan-sama, please sto..
The special tattoo doesn't last long so the salon master comes to the palace to help her refresh. I thought she only has one on her chest, but apparently there is one on her back too :/ She has to keep it uncovered for 2 hours to dry. R came by and accidentally was affected by the tattoo. He started touching and kissing her back. She knows she has to push him away but she doesn't want to because she already knows abt his tragic past. She’s afraid pushing him will hurt his feeling (I'll explain his past in his route summary). She tried very hard to grab the veil, cover her tattoo and R turned back to normal, frantically apologized to her. 
Tumblr media
R: You don't need to think about anything. Surrender everything to me...
MC (name is Shirien) is a dancer at show salon Kamal. Her parents were killed, the village was destroyed. The salon master took care of her and her best friend Aisha so she wants to do everything to repay him. The master also helped another kid (who arrived heavily injured) named Jermiru and asked MC to look after J as his older sister. MC and J works as secret spies for the master. MC has a special henna tattoo (made from teromeana mixed with medicine herbs) that can seduce men to the point they lose all reasoning. Then she uses a sleeping needle on them to make them sleep & dream that they are ichaicha-ing with her but in reality, she tries to find materials/info in their rooms for her spy mission. In addition, she collects blood of young healthy ‘excited' men to help research a cure for the salon master's sickness. The master also prohibits her to kiss the men targets because it can sway her heart (hence she pushed Vince away in the bath when he tried to kiss her). 
In part 1 European night, her clients are Theo (Vince's best friend) and Rolan Crydelle. Her mission is to seduce Vince to find out the whereabout of Pamela - Rolan’s younger sister - who they think was kidnapped by Vince when V destroyed the Crydelle kingdom. Theo will pretend to lose the drinking game and gives MC to V as a winning trophy.
V is a tough cookie to crack though, he pays 100% attention on his country/work, doesn't want to waste any time with women. In his country Lugan, women are not allowed to speak unless they are given permission. This is because in their history, a king lost part of the territory bc he spent too much time on women. That territory becomes the Crydelle kingdom. In contrast, Crydelle is led/dominated by women, while men only stays inside the house and cannot go out unless given permission by women. Rolan is a shy and naive because he is indoors all his life, he cares deeply about his younger sister Pamela, he carries a doll that looks exactly like her.
I only know a little bit about V from the common route and his appearance in Rolan's route, but he isn't as cruel as the rumour says. The more time MC spends with him for her spy mission, she realizes he (and his touch on her) are gentle and kind. Everything he does is for the benefit of his country. He did destroy the Crydelle kingdom, killed the royal family (except Rolan who was living in a secret room) so other princes at the Conference sneer at Vince during the policy discussion. Personally, I think the choices Vince suggests are actually effective and to the point, not wasting time trying to be merciful. In Rolan's good end, he even helps Rolan save MC. He gives me the IkeSen Nobunaga and MLQC Victor's vibes. 
The last Rolan photo above the cut is after the confrontation with Eleanor (who looks exactly like his sister Pamela but said she is not Pamela), R is very sad and ran to the old harem area to be alone. MC chased after him and tried to comfort him. He hugged her and started kissing near her chest, offered to make her feel good and begged her to not leave him (poor bb ;u;) MC stopped him, tried to calm him down asking him to tell her everything. In short, due to his past, R always wants to keep people happy, he thinks pleasing people is the only thing he can do to make his life has some values, the only way to keep people staying with him. MC told him none of these are true. Even after hearing his past, MC didn't look down on/feel disgusted abt him, and told him from now on, he will learn many other ways to make people happy. This makes him very happy, he asked to hug her for a bit longer 。゚( ゚இ‸இ゚)゚。
---
Tbh, when I first looked at the suitors, I thought I'd go with Vince, but oughhh Rolan stole my heart during the common route. I guess not likely many people will like Rolan (he actually ranks 6th out of 6 suitors, my poor bb ;u;). It’s okay, I luv Rolan. I love his character growth throughout the route, desperately trying to grow stronger to protect MC. And his yandere doll-carrying creepy vibe. His 2nd bad end broke my heart badly ~ like CxM Shiraishi's bad end 4 level of heartbreak(iДi)I will write his route summary after I (hopefully) pass my exam.
I enjoy this game much more than I expected: kisses sound yayyy (not DL’s level of kissing & blood sucking but enough to burn my ears huehue), nice arts and BGM (melancholy music to stab on my heart even more while reading bad ends, nice!). I prefer the bad ends, they are more haunting and memorable to me; good ends everything get solved quite easily, but overall the story is fine so far. I get completely sucked into this game and finished all 6 ends for Rolan and Korei in 4 days (what is sleep, what is exam :3) Normally I only play the routes of the guys I’m interested in then move on to next game, unless I want to collect PS Vita trophies and autoplay. But I have high hope that since this game can surprisingly change my favourite from Rolan to Korei (still very close, I luv both of them lotsss) from the route story, I should read everybody’s routes properly and see who my favourite are in the end. My 2020 otome game year is off to a wonderful start already ahhh~ (*´╰╯`๓)♬

Do you think ntt solomare story jar is worth it? I miss a lot of those old swd games that are on the app (mononoke kiss, nifiheim, etc) (I have blood and Rose's still!) But I've heard some p negative things too like it costs an very scarce in game c8rrency to read chapters. What do you think?
oh my i have some things to say about this app so buckle up whdjsjsj BUT ALSO BLOOD IN ROSES PLS HMU I WANT TO TALK ABT THE GAME SOBS NYWAYS ONTO STORY JAR!!
also an ask on my main after so long i got thrown back to when this blog was an imagines blog for fate series sobs i miss those good days
I find Story Jar fine as an app since it gives you more accesibility to a whole variety of games for free, which includes some of their previous games which most of them happened to be paid games.
They also include free games as well and even adding a route to an old game. (If you’re wondering, the game is Lost Island+, I got dared to play it by a friend and I just so happened to play it a few years ago so it brought back some memories)
Most of the games do not change at all in terms of story or character. However, I do find the aspect that you are not given an introductory page to a character before playing it a bit of a hassle.
I’m going to use my experiences from playing Lost Island+ here because that’s like the only game I’ve played before that’s in Story Jar LOL
I played the game before so I vaguely knew what every character was like at the start, even if I haven’t played it in 3 years. So I went into every suitor’s routes knowing with a gist of what to expect because they had character introduction sheets back when Lost Island+ had its own app.
But if a new player were to play the game with no knowledge of any of the characters whatsoever, it would be hard to kind of just pick a route on the spot without any introduction to the character. (Especially how character introduction pages are pretty much the eyecatcher for the audience in order to allow the audience to get to know the characters beforehand before picking a route that fits their tastes with the suitor that they’re interested in.)
Some of the stories in Story Jar reads more like a Visual Novel than otome too. You are giving 2 Story Tickets per 4 hours and the maximum amount you can have is 2, on the contrary to the 5 Story Tickets/20 Hours you get in previous games. This allows you to play more within a day, which is something I rather like so reading chapters of a story isn’t considered scarced resources.
However, the problem lies within the choices you are offered to choose from in said chapters.
Diamond is the premium currency for this and for your first 10 days or so of login for Story Jar, you get an extra 50 Diamonds or so for the new player bonus. But then, you only get 1 or 2. Once you finish a chapter, you also get a diamond and so forth. But the problem comes with the rarity of these Diamonds and how you use them.
When the player is given a choice, there will be 1 to 3 choices that are an option.
One choice will always be free, needing no diamonds.
The other will require at least 10 or so Diamonds, 5 if you are lucky.
And if you are given a third one, the amount of diamonds needed to choose the third option just goes up.
The problem is that if you want the good ending, you need to spend a lot of diamonds which, after your first 10 days of login, are extremely hard to get by if you are F2P.
Depending on what story you play from their huge catalogue of stories to choose from, you have either 2-3 choices to make per chapter, which can amount to roughly 20-40 diamonds per chapter. That is a total of more less a whole month worth of logging in the app consecutively if you’re done with your first 10 days or so of log in bonuses or just whaling through for the good ends and the CGs and the cost of diamonds are expensive, you’re better off mining them in Minecraft shdjsjsjs
like hun do i look like im rich enough to dump all my bills on this app i have ryoma fire emblem merchandise to buy—
nyways thats my take on story jar!! i hope i didnt sound too patronizing ;;v;; i didn’t mean to give off that vibe im just throwing my thoughts out there but yeah thats it shdjsjdjsjs sorry if my vibe took a wholeass 180 i just feel more professional and ppl will take me more seriously if i write this like how i would write a paper for school ahdjsjsjsjsjs
Hope this helps a lot!! i was surprised to get an ask on this LOL hope u have a good day too 💖💖

Just Human Things™: Nonbinary Edition!
[[ • Soooo I decided to make a continuation of my original human formchange headcanon dump! This time it’s a little more specific and just a small warning for dysphoria talk, but I’ve been thinking a lot abt Amber’s feelings on gender & how her recently acquired formchange ability plays into this. 🤔
      • I haven’t talked about this much bc I know Certain People tend to side-eye these headcanons, but Amber? She’s a nonbinary girl. Or a demi-girl. Or... idk, woman-aligned & nonbinary. As a nonbinary lesbian myself, gender is a harsh mistress. Tho label-wise, she doesn’t... really have a word to describe herself? She knows she’s not a boy, at times feels disconnected from the concept of gender with how it’s enforced, and she knows she dresses & acts feminine. She’s 100% fine with that.
     • Yet also, toys — and esp dolls — are heavily gendered when humanoid. You know how some parents react when boys want to play with toys marketed for girls? Amber just... highkey hates that. Now this could be read as loathing forced gender roles (tho this can heighten dysphoria). However, before learning about form changes, she often questioned herself: “Why did I have to be a doll? Am I a girl because I feel like it, or because I was made to be one?”
    • From this perspective, her penchant for poking around in other worlds, and constantly being mistaken for a young child/illusion/robot/some other malevolent entity taking on an innocent form (and yes, these are all things she's been called or assumed to be in threads), always being mistaken for something she’s not... eeeyep. The gottang parallels man.
   • Side note: I’m never going to shut up about toy-replica parallels. Young Xehanort saw Woody and company as nothing more than potential vessels whose hearts could fray by cutting off their connections — just like how a chunk of the organization invalidated Xion’s right to exist as an artificially made person. 
      • Additionally, I’ve seen folks pointing out how Xion’s treatment isn’t all that unlike the struggles many trans people face (initially created as a clone/via Sora’s memories, constant misgendering, things like that). While I’m not saying that Xion’s experience is a 100% perfect analogy (and it’s no big deal if you don’t incorporate these HCs/theories muses-wise), it’s something I keep in mind when writing Amber with the above parallel in mind.
      • Self note: gotta contact someone with a Xion muse one of these days. Because... for Science™.
      • Anyworm, to get into the meat of things: immediately after she learns to formchange as a human? Gender euphoria babey! But seriously, she feels way less out of place in her own skin in this form and it stands out all the more when she first return to Galaxy Toys. Amber still lives there (she wouldn’t want to get someone fired over “stolen” merchandise by leaving the store for good), the only difference is that she uses her formchange when she runs off during closing hours.
     • Like, from her POV, humans aren’t as limited. They don’t have to wear “girl” clothes, they’re not seen as lesser for being a “girl’s toy”. Well, disregarding transphobia and misogyny but I mean... she’s literally a year old post-DLC. :I There’s a whole lot that Amber doesn’t know and there’s only so much she can witness in a toy store, but she does know that she feels a whole lot better in a human body than in a doll one. Tl;dr it lessens her dysphoria a heckton.
   • Does she bind? Nnnnnnot a lot. It’s not something that bothers her too much, but she may do so depending on the outfits/coords she designs for herself.
   • Speaking of coords: as a preface, a lot of it has to to with convenience but she isn’t world-hopping in lolita coords 24/7 (it takes a lot of petticoats, layers, time to pull off everyday). Often times she’ll dress up in otome kei & related street fashions for easier movement. Kodona too when she experiments with gender expression & any look that’d be pulled straight out of a vintage Oscar Wilde photo.
  • Be it casually, with frills, or blazers & slacks? You bet your behind she’s gonna look elegant! While she loves her skirts and dresses, she really can’t wear anything else as a doll, let alone while on display, without sales floor associates getting suspicious. It’s nice to have a choice in what she wears, y’know?
 • As a last note, regardless or how she feels about gender, she’ll tear you a new one if you so much as imply that dressing feminine makes someone lesser or anti-feminist. She’s here to raise ALL women up (be they cis, trans, or nonbinary), not tear them down.

anyway thread wishlist stuff i guess ?? ofc nobody has to do this so if you ever want to thread w/ me about something different don’t feel obligated to choose any of these just cause i eventually want to write them 
it’s lengthy as a note but at least under a cut! apologies for those on mobile. i’m also refraining from listing anything shippy since i don’t want ppl to feel obligated to ship with me just because i like a certain ship fsduhfsdkjsdhksfd. list goes in roster order, not based on personal interest level. i’m also putting the MOST far-fetched shit on here like with muses i expect literally no one to have cause i’m wild
KENT ( fe7 )
odd friendship between kent, sain and lowen 
kent hanging out with literally any of the other red christmas cavaliers
postgame conversation with kent about what both parties have been up to since fe7 
heroes verse thread with kent and another steward like character
heroes verse thread with kent and another catria archetype having that Unrequited Love for Liege Solidarity
KLIFF ( fe2 / fe15 )
hrm... i honestly don’t have a lot? i guess anything referencing the manga is cool cause i think his character arc in that’s really good
i mean. if i played archanea games, something with him meeting someone in archanea postgame probably would’ve been cool but i still haven’t played a marth game orz
OH HOW COULD I FORGET an fe2 kliff and an fe15 kliff interacting with one another!! probably heroes verse. i’d take writing the fe2 kliff any day god i love him
PERCY / LUTZ ( fe14 )
heroes verse thread where lutz latches onto michalis with admiration 
heirs of fate verse thread between lutz and one of siegbert’s other retainers ( soleil, velour, ignis ) OR with syalla
azura mothered percy talking to his mom about his insecurity with singing compared to / inferiority complex with shigure
literally anything with hisame dude these supports have me so shooketh
TATIANA ( fe2 / fe15 )
any threads between tatiana and either zeke/camus OR nyna are Yes. Very Yes in my book. i love the uniqueness and gray morality of their love triangle situation
since i hc that tatiana is good friends with rinea pregame, i think a thread between her and berkut pregame sounds good!! or heroes thread if someone prefers. it could be about anything honestly
fe2 tatiana interacting with an fe15 tatiana!!! heroes verse most likely as was explained in kliff’s variant. i’m definitely willing to write either tatiana in this situation but i’d assume fe2 tatiana would be mine ngl
HMMM i don’t really have much direction this, but i think tatiana interacting with a louise sounds kinda interesting!
tatiana interacting with a lovestruck character ( not necessarily a catria archetype but characters like canon love interests could also work ) that are young and serving as a confidant for them on romance affairs!!!
STAHL ( fe13 )
mentor-student relationship between frederick and stahl
WEIRDLY SPECIFIC BUT... heroes verse thread between stahl and alec?? i just think these two would have a weird dynamic that sounds kinda fresh
HINATA ( fe14 )
parent-child thread between him and hisame !!!!
i have a valentia verse for him i wouldn’t mind using actually!! especially considering he’s a deserter in that au
MARIBELLE ( fe13 )
hmm i’m probably not describing this well but a thread where she helps someone with dressing up / makeup sounds feel-good?
maribelle helping plan lissa’s wedding !!! god u know she’d be all over that shit !!!
maribelle and chrom having some kind of heart to heart. maybe talking over the past?? whether it be the former exalt and ylisse’s past or hell even some jugdral history. i feel like she’d know it.
SILAS ( fe14 )
somebody talking about silas’s history as a bad boy(tm)
silas reminiscing about the past with either camilla or xander
big brother relationship between silas and elise?? i mentioned briefly before that i think them being close because of him opening up about how he wants to meet corrin again and elise being supportive is totally my jam
more corrin + silas childhood friend interactions in general dude i won’t ever get enough of that
BERKUT ( fe15 )
berkut and fernand interactions are cool !!! especially ones that highlight their age difference and maturity levels/gap in experience
berkut lives au where he reflects with alm about the paths they took in life
berkut lives au where he talks with alm about rudolf and rigel in general
dude literally any otome situation between berkut and rinea and i’m down. i know i said i’d refrain from anything shippy but <:’) oops.... 
HAYATO / TSUKUYOMI ( fe14 )
hayato meets elise. idc where it goes but i just think their dynamic could be hilarious
hayato reflects with fuga about his parents
parent-child thread where hayato talks about the wind tribe with rhajat
heroes verse thread where hayato meets ricken. i’m also down for him being like the oldest version ( except maybe azelle might be older than him ?? idk dude ) of the archetype of young prodigy mage and just babysitting them all begrudgingly
a ship thread where someone convinces him it’s okay to be self-indulgent and show childish behavior or weakness. idk if he’s acquiesce if it was someone besides his lover
training thread or some other kind of interaction between hayato and hinata
MARK ( fe7 )
one of the rgb lords trying to help him learn self-defense
reunion with lyn in heroes verse. though warning that mark will kinda be awkward and not as warm abt it as nintendo continually makes lyn about it
more threads in general between mark and robins actually! considering the games like to liken them to one another
a thread between mark and someone from bern. let it be awkward. or let the other person actually have heard of mark before and his history in bern.
LEIF ( fe4 / fe5 )
a thread between him and seliph. i don’t really have any specific ideas except leif kinda being envious but yeah!
a thread with an ares talking about their times in leonster
dude an interaction with him and literally ANY second gen trust me i’ll be here forever if i list them all down but febail, patty, tine, lene, coirpre, diarmuid, and ced all jump out to me for various reasons
heroes verse thread between him and someone from awakening talking about how his legacy might have been thousands of years in the future. idk if leif would be like Extremely notable in the same way that arvis was, but i’d think it cool!
fe5 muses i will die for u
leif interactions with other protags!! god i love crossover protag interactions in heroes verse trust me
CLIVE ( fe2 / fe15 )
thread between him and jesse catching up on old times. this can be as awkward as hell or jovial but with clive hiding awkwardness underneath it
some kind of introspective heart-to-heart between him and mathilda, forsyth, lukas, or python. i’m down for any of those four tbh
not as much an interest to me as the kliff variant of this was  ( mostly due to the fact both clives are pretty similar actually ) but !!! fe2 and fe15 clive interacting with one another and talking about their circumstances. who do u trust more than urself
COIRPRE ( fe4 / fe5 )
sibling thread after lene and coirpre find out they’re related. 
sylvia children solidarity is being prisoners of war: the thread
sylvia children duality: coirpre having found family dynamic but lene is still fixated on finding their birth parents
au where coirpre is fathered by lewyn and he wields forseti but refuses to use it even though he still has it with him.
( incest implications tw ) a claud fathered coirpre holding the power to bring people back to life interacting with a charlot who knows how to wield the berserk staff. The Contrast My Dudes. or this same coirpre interacting with seliph post-war.
awkward thread between coirpre and a dancer since he has an aversion to dancers unlike most fe characters. heroes verse possibly BUT i can also work with a lara since i hc that it’s actually her troupe that he built his distaste for dancers from.
TINE ( fe4 )
sibling thread between her and arthur talking about their different histories growing up
LENE ( fe4 )
the three sibling threads i mentioned beforehand with coirpre
lene talking with lara about the influential men in their lives and their motives for becoming dancers
same thing as above but with rinea in heroes verse holy shit!!!!!
