I just finished AAI2 and already bought the Apollo Trilogy. Damn, Ace Attorney really hooked me so bad.

Damn, Gura's really graduating from Hololive... and the fact that her reason was due to disagreements with management and the company's direction just makes the whole thing feel iffy. You can even hear it in her voice—she sounds like she's holding back tears :( What the hell is going on with Cover???? I wonder if this is the end of the Hololive era, at least in the English sphere. Shame that 4chan is down, I really wanted to see the shitstorm in /vt/.

Been replaying FE PoR and I seriously can't stress enough how much I freaking love the worldbuilding—especially how they handle the war themes. The characters just act like real people and there’s so much raw emotion packed in.

It's honestly really funny when people get hysterical or super reactionary about incest in media. Like yeah, incest is creepy, but it’s not this hardcore fetish like people assume. It’s honestly tame, it’s like entry-level taboo/transgressive genre/fetish content. If you can stomach violence and horror, surely you can stomach incest even if you're not into it.

Also, I just wrote some headcanon about Sakiko (Avemuji)—feel free to read it if anyone who likes Avemuji is interested!

I also just bought Lao Gan Ma chili oil (black bean & chili crisp flavor), and people weren’t lying—it is FREAKING GOOD. I legit got addicted and even ate it straight from the jar LOL. To me, the black bean version is best used as an ingredient or condiment for stir-fry dishes, while the chili crisp one works better as a topping or dipping sauce. Definitely going to buy again, but I think I’ll stick to the chili crisp version since it’s my absolute favorite lol.

I lowkey want to re-read Citrus. I used to dislike it because it felt so melodramatic, but now I kinda want to give it another shot. There must be a reason why it was so well-loved by JP yuri fans. My memory of it is a bit hazy, though.

I just heard what happened at the UK Supreme Court... stay strong to all the trans folks out there. Truly evil stuff...

Gigi Andalucia is the most Indonesian-sounding Gundam character ever. It’s so middle-high class Jakartan core.

The target demographic of TCOAAL being women who are into true crime (said by Nemlei herself) really explains why the vibes are like that. Also, Andrew is 1000% catering to a very specific female demographic with very specific fetishes.

Orz, sorry for not updating—I’ve been busy these past few weeks and had to help my family with a lot of stuff. Man, lately, my motivation for writing has just disappeared... I feel like I’m not motivated to do anything.

Also, I just finished playing Ace Attorney: Investigations! It was such a good game, however, I feel like the final case dragged on too long. I certainly didn't expect the twist that Shih-na was actually Calisto Yew, lol. Also, I totally ship Lang x Edgeworth. Tbh, I prefer their dynamic over Narumitsu.

I also replayed Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance because it’s been 10 years since I last played it. I was in the mood for a medieval JRPG with political intrigue. Reyson is used heron goods lol.

As for Avemuji, the last episode was a great closure, though I felt like episode 12 was already a solid ending. Still, I’m glad they got a sequel in production. I do wonder how the story will turn out, though, since the lead writer, Yuniko Ayana, left Bandori… I’m a little worried after reading the director’s comments. It feels like he’s just changing things on a whim. Hope he doesn’t ruin UiSaki.

Also, I’m disappointed with the Switch 2 Direct. No Monolith Soft games, and most of the new releases didn’t really interest me. I’ve always been indifferent to FromSoft games in general, but seeing the Switch 2 game prices is just ridiculous. What the hell is Nintendo thinking, pricing games at $80–90?! Nobody likes that, especially when the Switch 2 itself is already quite expensive by their standards. Also, I hate the whole Game Card situation—it combines the worst aspects of digital and physical gaming. Seriously, if this becomes normalized, I might just quit gaming or resort to pirating. Anyway, I feel like I should invest in a PC for emulation and Steam discounts…

I also hate seeing people asking for an Xenoblade 2 remake. XB2 has aged like fine wine and still looks great! Even when it reaches its 10-year anniversary, its graphics and visuals will still hold up. All it needs is a patch for a better tutorial, no need for a full-blown remake. I’d rather Monolith create a new game instead of remaking XB2. Besides, Xenoblade Chronicles X and XB1 actually need remakes since they’re stuck on inaccessible consoles, and their graphics still feel outdated (XCX especially since it was unfinished). Anyway, I hope we get XB4 in the Fall Direct or a new IP from Monolith Soft.

Current Mood: chipper

I marathoned MyGO & Ave Mujica last week, and safe to say, I enjoyed it! Especially Ave Mujica, it’s really so good, and it’s funny how they said, “aunt-niece incest yuri rights” LOL. Definitely didn’t expect that from a big franchise like Bandori of all things. That’s good though!
I really love UiSaki (or HatsuSaki) so much! There are a lot of things I want to comment on, but I think I’ll do a review of it later, probably... after I rewatch the series again because I think this anime deserves multiple rewatches. There’s a lot of hidden/subtle storytelling through visuals.

I’ve been playing Ace Attorney because I only played the first one back in high school, and it’s just funny, I used to hate Franziska because I thought she was annoying, but now I love her, LOL. It’s fun seeing her seethe and lost, it’s so satisfying after her smug attitude. On the other hand, replaying AA2 reminded me how sad the whole Berry Big Circus case is. It’s definitely the saddest case in the AA trilogy, in my opinion. It’s just mistake after mistake. I feel bad for Acro because, while his actions aren’t justified, I can understand why he feels that way, knowing a girl responsible for his brother’s accident just shrugged it off and acted like it wasn’t a big deal. Regina is... well, she’s definitely at fault, but she’s not doing it out of malice, just obliviousness. Still, it’s sad with Acro, and especially the backstory behind the circus and how Russell died is so heartbreaking... he was such a nice man.

I saw the new Panty & Stocking characters, the newly introduced Angel brothers, and my god... everything about their design, voice, and demeanor sounds gay as fuck LMAOOOO. Cannot wait to see their henshin animation, and they’ll definitely get the incest fanart HAHAHA.

I just pre-ordered Uma Musume merch! It’s an Orfevre mochidoru plushie and a Dorija tapestry! I absolutely cannot wait for it to arrive! It sucks that I couldn’t order the Bandai Namco campaign Orfe and Dorija plushies because apparently, they were crane prizes, wtf... time to wait for Mercari.

The rumor about Persona 4 is weird to me, seeing people celebrating it like... just why? P4 just got re-releases, and the gap between P5 and P6 is so long (almost 10 years). Like, how are Atlus fans okay with it? At this rate, we’ll get a P5 remake before P6 LOL.

Man, Xenoblade X DE just got released, and it sucks that I can’t play it because I just sold my Switch last month. Oh well, I’ll definitely play it on my Switch 2 (hope the prices aren’t expensive...).

Kinda late, but I wrote for fannish50 #2 on my side blog! Since it’s Women’s Day, I decided to write a post about Suigintou and why she’s the most important female character from my childhood!

Another thing—I wrote a meta analysis for Xenoblade about the male and female personas of the Trinity Processors! I’ve been meaning to write this for a while. At first, I just wanted to focus on Malos/Logos, but screw that, let’s include Pneuma too, to make my analysis more convincing.

I just bought a GQuuuuX ticket for tomorrow! I’m so excited to watch it!

Also, I finally bought a new mouse after my old one, which I’ve had since like 2020/2021, finally broke, lol. Anyway, the new one is nice! I got a Logitech M241 in rosy pink. It’s a silent wireless mouse, and surprisingly, it’s really silent when I click on it, makes no noise at all! That’s pretty neat if I want to browse quietly at night, hehehe.

The more I hear about what’s happening in my country, the more depressed I get. But holy shit, the most messed-up thing is how our government delayed (or possibly canceled) the appointment/legalization of 2024 civil servant employees. A bunch of my friends who got accepted are now stuck in limbo. Holy shit.

I took a look at Eblana (or Necrass) lines, and I’m so disgusted at how HG literally turned her into a freaking self-insert sexual character. They also did this to Ho’olheyak, even though it doesn’t fit her character at all! Man, maybe I shouldn’t expect too much from mobage writing. Every day, I find a new reason to have massive trust issues with media that caters to self-inserters.

Also, hopefully, I can finish my Xenoblade 3 review this week! I’ve been so busy, jhfjkevkw.

Current Mood: bored

Just finished re-organizing my tags on both journal, it was so taxing lol

Also I planning to do fannish 50 challenge on my side journal (

fukaimetsu ) and I probably will link it here too.

my body doesn't feel great. Like I am coughing a lot & always feels light-headed

also I need to apply to new job again this month. Hopefully I can get a new job in the next 1-2 month

Current Mood: drained

I just write some fun headcanon AU of Uma musume being in interview-like scenario where they answer 5 questions!

Some random stuff, but thinking that Malos & Homura would get along so well...I should write this
Edit : I write it

I am so fucking upsets at new Yumia battle illustrations posts, there's so many braindead culture war-brained coomer acting like monkey & making up shit of censorship boogeymans. Do these Ryza tourists rly think Atelier has same fanservice like senran kagura?
I am mad because Benitama-sensei doesn't deserve this. The artworks are so beautiful & amazing and all these roaches think is ''m-muh censored" (it's not) like I've been fan of Benitama since their GBF fanart days & was so happy they got hired as game character design like Yumia is one of atelier that make me interested to buy in the future just because the artist alone & I even consider wanting to buy some merch with Benitama arts in it.
Yet, idiot westerners just angry bcus it's not as coomer like ryza. Despite, Yumia's has so many suggestive pose & sexy character design. I fucking hate it so much, that I don't want to RT the post because it just makes me so angry seeing Benitama's art being polluted by these intellectually disabled morons

Thinking, wanting to play Of the Devil because the concept sounds interesting & I love mystery game

Thinking how Xenoblade X DE will be released in just a month & I regret I sold my switch because I couldn't play it, but I wanted to buy switch 2 day one so bad....

Decided that my next writing project will be Xenoblade 3 Review because I feel I didn't do it justices

Every day whenever I saw news about what happen in my country I just...feel depressed, like I want to angry, but I am too tired. Because this fascism president got elected and chosen by our people, and now he & his disgusting leeches of oligarch trying to cut many welfares & shit to fed their corruption fix. I don't know if things will be better, but I just keep my expectation low & just hope for miracle to exist

I just checked some old xeno community many sites and seeing how a lot of them deact their account is just sad...especially I want to know how they feels about Xenoblade....

Alright, I finally made my own Guestbook & Blogroll!
feel free to leave comment on my guestbook, albeit I might not reply & as for Blogroll, I will update more sites soon & hope you guys check 'em as well.

On the other hand, I just finished writing about analysis of A gender on my side blog. Always wanting to write it because I am so bothered by people reducing her character as her only gender identity & her very existence always sparking debate.

Recently I just listened to Xeno series podcasts particularly about it's queer reading, I will write my commentary later, as there's some stuff I kinda disagree but also agreed.

I also just made bearblog mainly just to archive my meta posts or thought on discourse, basically for serious stuff but dw I'm still writing it here, just maybe I am making that for people who interested to see my thoughts on certain subject because my mutual and friends apparently likes to see my analysis and thoughts lol.

I just saw some post on DW community and found a gay man in his 40s who's apparently fudanshi and liking old school yaoi/yaoibait anime such as junjou romantica, kyou kara maou, loveless, etc like dude is rocking

Also, just saw this post on bluesky about how people (especially younger people) being reactionary toward ''bad'' media & obsessed with the idea of consuming media ethically. man, I am so fucking agree, but seriously a bit concerned with people nowadays genuinely think that if you watch/read media made by problematic people or has harmful ideology it means you will get corrupted to adopt said harmful ideology which..is very dumb. Because that's not how it works?

Here's some venting that I posted on bsky/twitter :

it's funny to me how tumblr of all PLACES are the only one where you can meaningful queer analysis of mahoako of all things.

yes, on fucking tumblr.

legit that site seems the only place that embraces mahoako & see the series on postivies outlook, twitter would never

if people want more coomer game to be made, you guys should support niche mid-small budget ecchi otaku games instead clinging to big mainstream JRPG dev that was backed by big publisher.

I think you shouldn't put too much stock on ecchi stuff on japanese console games these days.

Like, CERO has been getting more anal about depiction of violence & sexuality. on top overseas platform is just pretty unfair to JP games most of the time. manga, gacha & anime is unironically a place where ecchi can thriving rn.

it's fucking suck now gacha are the only gaming medium where we get most anime coomer stuff. truly tragedy.

sorry I am gacha/soshage hater lol

Found this post about CERO

And people still don't believe me when I said CERO is more Draconian lol. People are too culture war-brained & think all evil censorship is from west, while Japan has actual censorship that's mandated by fucking law. Even their goddamn porn media were still fucking censored.

Btw CERO just recently banned panty shots or camera angle that show panties for teen rated games cmiiw. It's why most jrpg girls nowadays wear spats.

I feel like Ishihara era seems to be the catalysts that CERO become stricter, puritan and demanding. Just my opinion.

People who think it bcus le evil woke forcing CERO are fucking idiot because even before culture war become big they've been getting stricter. Like i remember seeing a couple of JP devs complain about CERO strictness about violence/sexuality depictions in the 2010s.

They're just getting bolder in the 2020s now.

Like CERO brand of puritanism doesn't feel like puritan wokies but more of typical conservative Japanese boomers who despise otakus & sex in media.

Anyway, fuck rating boards, they're true Agent of Censorships.

I saw a post about how people shouldn't trust youtuber review on game too much & I am fucking agree, especially on this post

it is just like what happen to FE Engage. A lot of youtubers act like that games kill the whole franchise & the worst shit ever created. Then you play the game, it's good & fun. Sure, it's very flawed & story is mediocre, but it's not fucking bad like what youtuber screaming. Also, Engage has better replayability compared to 3H & the story doesn't make me mad because of 3H horrendeus pacing.

Also, being a trilingual is truly a nightmare. Ever since I study french, I feel my linguistic skill is getting more terrible. My Indonesian and english is sucked

I need more podcasts about people talk about Japanese game that genuinely appreciate them & it's anime trope.

It's just annoying how most games podcast I listen always being Weird about jrpg or having ''toned down'' Phil Fish-tier opinion.

''this jrpg is good because there's no cringey anime trope'' shut the fuck up!

I never trust people opinion on JRPGs or japanese games if they tried to dismiss anime/otaku trope. fuck that shit.

So saw this post about idiot execs, making a ''survey'' that game devs (read: AAA devs) wanted to know what teen what and according to their survey 75% teen don't want a romance game and want more friendships (lol).

Absolute baffling, Even if it's that true, how come their conclusion is to NOT include romance options to not alienate the remaining 25% audiences??

Surely that survey is legit & valid, not some execs making up shit.

I swear exec are truly braindead.

Romance & Friendship element in the game can fucking coexist, most Japanese games are fucking doing it.

With how dogshit current social media climate are.

Normalize writing your intrusive thoughts or /any/ controversial opinion on blogging site.

Please I beg you make a blog, make dreamwidth/bearblog/neocities.

Those sites are ''semi'' dead w/ no shitty algorithm -that put your posts outside your circle/audiences who will mad/ratio/dogpile your post because they don't fucking get your sense of humor/personality-, nobody will mad seeing your idiot takes there.

At worst, if someone disagrees with your post they probably leave a shit comment, but, the chances of getting dogpiled a la Twitter are low.

You’re basically screaming into the void & some people do ''listen'' to your screaming, but they don't give a fuck!

Blogging or journaling also helps to articulate your thoughts, forming your opinion coherently, and regulate your emotion better.

tl;dr start blogging NOW

legit, after I finally go back to blogging (I made 2–3 blogs for different purposes) it does help me a lot & feels therapeutic.

I can express myself better w/o the baggage of horde people that's outside my circle dogpiling me because they're not my fucking audience/mutuals who know me.

So far, I recommend dreamwidth if you miss old-school livejournal-style blog!

It has a lot of feature that make it easier for people to interact w/ you. Also, some socmed-like feature w/ customizing ur layout, icon, tag, etc.

Bearblog is also a good alternative if you want more ''secluded'' vibe, also has very simple & minimalistic design. Basically, if you're just there for ''pure'' blogging reasons.

I haven't used it, but according to my friends it much better alternative compared to neocities. Don't use wordpress/blogspot/ big corpo hosted site because they will feed your content to AI or sell your data.
