i think theres worth in a national holiday that asks you to inspect if you are feeling loved. I don't think it should be paired with "and if you aren't, what a LOSER!!!"

#heatedrivalry Does it irrationally bother anyone else that people consistently make the joke that Shane should have opened his translate app while asking Ilya to speak his heart in Russian? And not just because of that being a betrayal of trust but because that is a purely modern technology

valentines day seems to make more people sad than happy. even the people with partners get disappointed. maybe thats just the suicide hotline speaking but this shouldn't be one of the deadliest days of the year

When men say "it hurts my feelings when women give us tests, are scared, fail to exclude me when describing men," it hurts my feelings that men sexually assault us. Then blame women for trusting the wrong guy, which women should know but also not restrict men's access by being cautious.

"ignore the trolls" is something you have to decide for yourself. sometimes it is better to see someone fight back. sometimes it's really nice to see someone advocate for something better.

something I don't see talked about with Mean Girls is that its a commentary on the modern school system. Cady gets culture shock at how little the adults trust and respect them, fostering a system that necessitates gang-like protection groups to form for survival, which she likens to animals

intense and saturated color combinations I like to use in my art! I'll do some new pastel ones soon ✨💗 #art #artref

damn it

We should shift to treating Disney Adults with the same empathy as addicts. You found something that makes the world less dark. That's ok. It's not healthy for you, but it's how you're surviving and I don't judge people for their addictions. You were vulnerable, the product was designed to trap you.

This is how to you make an entrance

Shout out to the women at Capcom who were apparently so dedicated in making sure Leon looked right for Resident Evil 9 because goddamn

parents- please please please please find another way to teach your child discipline that doesn't involve stripping them of their coping tools and support networks That means don't TAKE things from them as punishment.

reminder that 'nice' is different from 'good'

Fallout s2 is just so disappointing ... so much retconning ...

as someone who just stumbled across the Marvel Rivals drama with the 3 women vs 1 man and everyone saying the women are "setting girls back in gaming spaces 10000 years" and I'm getting serious flashbacks to gam*rgate women are allowed to have bad behavior without you advocating misogyny, yeah?

we already terribly mischaracterize cats, do we really need unflattering stereotypes too? I get that its a bonding thing, but it's at the expense of your cat. I legit get asked if my orange cat has a single brain cell now. he's incredibly intelligent actually?

All us creatives be fighting for our lives. #wip #meme #artist

Crave should do "For The Fans" by Nyla K next if they know what's good for them

MAHOU SHOUJO SANTA CLAUS is in the top row of magical girl games on Itch! #indieotome

The thing about Reylo is that you can see what fans actually enjoy about the relationship in all their fanworks, and you know what's absent from all of them? all the shit that anti-Reylo people say is disgusting about it

Heated Rivalry isn't just "good." The book was good. The adaptation is transcendent.

It's always the most toxic people that jump to defend AI. like, bro, it's okay that you use it sometimes but you don't need to act like it's completely unproblematic and undeserving of critique and that people are being so unreasonable to want better

I don't think I've gone on a Kabuki rant on bluesky yet so here it is: men stole Kabuki theatre from women and I will never, ever forgive them.

realizing how much I played the DLC for Animal Crossing by having the muscle memory of selecting items in a group or from within a stack. using all my DLC tricks to make the sickest hotel rooms

Art from 2016!!!!

Version 2.0 released for #MahouShoujoSantaClaus Here is the changelog. Main differences are a new scene with Rudy and lots more polish on Christmas Eve scenes

Thinking about an old coworker who sobbed after learning her baby was a girl because she hated girls and she married her husband because he also hated girls. I hope she's doing okay.

all I have to say is most of y'all weren't using em dashes and now you are

Fantasia, Realm of Thanos was one of the first #otome OELVNs, released 16 years ago. youtu.be/FqJIrhllY2k?...

Learning pixel art. 8 bit is definitely easier 😭 I don't know why I chose a rainbow lollipop that was brutal

Hi #PortfolioDay - I'm an Indonesian 🇮🇩 visual novel creator (and medical doctor) who focuses on making women-centered narrative games! I mostly do #otome but also #horrorgames every Spooktober season.

we're told to think about months in quarters because weeks are 7 days, but we feel the month in thirds, because we only really care about the beginning (1-10), middle (11-20) and end (21-30). As soon as it hits the 11th/21st we start thinking "how is it the middle/end of the month already?"

The whole “Mary Sue” mess is why I didn’t even bother making an OC until I was 36 freaking years old. I saw how welcoming FFXIV is with OCs after I wanted to ship Lume with Aymeric. I was afraid of making her to my liking, but then said f it, I do what I want & no one can stop me :V

the phrase “without further ado” is further ado

I'm starting to feel bad that I can detect AI at work because no one else can, and I'm the only one talking about it so it sounds like I have a phobia of it. I mean, I don't like it and that's why I care enough to talk about it, but it's made worse that I can't articulate why I know.

He disappear #indieotome #indiegamedev

Sage always has your back :) (Yes, this is a new scene! Available in 2.0 which will be out soon!) #indieotome #vndev #indiegamedev

Our #otome game MC Noelle kicks ass as a magical girl, but by day she's equally strong in other ways! She's canonically an English literature major and super passionate about it (even if she's failing her classes because she's Santa Claus). #mahoushoujosantaclaus #indieotome #indiegamedev #amare

owl girl

My cat is like well she apparently doesn't like it when I bite her arm, maybe her face instead? 😭

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

Dragon Slayer 🩸⚔️

I think we as a society have moved past encumbered conditions on games, aside from survival games

kids are terrible at hiding that they're kids because all they have to do is lie to me and tell me they're not a kid, but instead they're always I'M NOT TELLING YOU

I hate that the GPA system here is out of 4.0, just a random fucking number that is never really explained to you why it is just the number 4 and we all have to pay close attention to the decimals and then remember this number as YOUR ENTIRE WORTH AS A HUMAN BEING

My postmortem for Mahou Shoujo Santa Claus is up. This game meant a lot to me. tenshistudios.itch.io/mahou-shoujo...
