Trick Or Treat! This Year I Went As Hilda From Fire Emblem. Actually Had The Costume For A Few Years

Reading a story that has a mongoose and all my brain can picture is an actual goose. looked up a pic and they're so cute. Also the story now makes more sense.

For the bl trope ask game: 5, 7, 10? If possible please. This seems really cool to do. Have a wonderful day/night!

I love when I get repeats because I get to consider different shows! My initial answers for these were:

5. Second Chance Romance: His

7. Star-Crossed Lovers: Until We Meet Again and I Feel You Linger In The Air

10. Bodyguard: KinnPorsche

Lemme see what else I've got in the tank...

Second Chance Romance

I will always prefer a second chance romance that is truly about regrets, forgiveness and trying again to one about never having taken the leap in the first place. The End of the World With You (Bokura no Micro na Shuumatsu) is one of the best I've seen. Ritsu is seeking absolution and reconciliation before the world ends, and Masumi is equally determined not to forgive. The journey they go on...well go watch it if you haven't already.

Star-Crossed Lovers

The problem with star-crossed lovers is that BL as romance is indexed toward the happy ending. Tragedy is NOT what the girlies come here for, so the stories have to find a hook, like time travel or past lives, to smuggle the tragedy in while still allowing a happy-ish ending. I'm gonna round out my star-crossed trifecta with He's Coming To Me, because a living man and a ghost falling in love is the very definition of stars being crossed.

Bodyguard

For all its flaws, Never Let Me Go made a solid attempt at the bodyguard romance and I really enjoyed it in parts. Jojo really swung for it with this one and while I don't think it was entirely successful, it was for sure discussable.

You know how some fictional characters can detect lies? Do they like, detect the degree of the lie? Cause I know there are a lot of small white lies that merely bend the truth. Would they take the entire thing as a lie or would they have like a percentage on the amount of truth in that statement. For example if one said they were late due to work stuff but in actual it was the mental preparation having to socially interact. I don’t think this is a good example but it’s late and my brain doesn’t have the energy to think of more. But what I mean is just like small mostly truths. Would they have a percentage of the degree in which the person altered the truth or would the character just take the entire statement as false? Well I’ve let the random thoughts out and now… maybe I’ll sleep. Or not. Who knows. Have a wonderful day/night.

Not sure how many people play Fire Emblem: Three Hopes but like Lindhart, Shez, and Petra I find are a wonderful combination. And I need to see them together.

Games I enjoy. I’ll try to keep this mostly spoiler free. :3

Tokyo mirage sessions. Fire emblem. Encore.

- I love this game. The art, the colors, the songs. All of it just works well for me. The combat grinding isn’t that bad and it’s fairly easy to level up characters. Although I played on easy mode cause I kept dying on normal so our playing experience will definitely vary. I even unlocked friendly mode from dying so often TvT. I play for story more than combat. A lot of the enemy characters are sleazeballs though so that can be off-putting. I enjoy the story and friendships throughout the game. The side stories are easy to follow and flow nicely for me. I enjoy the character developments and the interpersonal connections. The maps were a bit confusing for me so some of it was just me running around hoping I pulled the right levers. Overall, this game was a lovely experience for me.

Fire emblem three houses

- I love this game. Though when I played I went in blind. This will include spoilers for game content, not specific storyline stuff. This game has romance options. Gender locked romance options. I was unaware of this going in so I was unable to swoon the person I fell for. Essentially, the gender of the main character chosen will affect who you can romance. I forgot that happens in games. Anyway, I love the world building and characters in this game. As the name suggests there are three main houses in this game. I’m golden deer for life. I’ve enjoyed what I’ve played through so far. The friendships are awesome. However the grinding for supports takes forever and some supports unlock secret quests that can have major impacts on the story.

- three hopes. Shez is awesome. Not as cool as byleth but just a fun character in general. They have a wonderful and funny personality. Though their connection to the houses, especially the house leaders, is a lot different than in three houses. If you’re looking to get close to the house leader or have them have greater character development then I say play three houses. While this game doesn’t have romance (s supports), some characters do essentially propose to the main character in this game. While I haven’t finished the main storyline I am enjoying this game.

- engage. You know, for a game called engage you’d think it would have a romance option. While heavily censored for the western audience when it comes to s supports, you can still get the gist of what originally would be said by watching the character sprites. The colors are all so vibrant and the music is wonderful. Alear is a chill main character just trying to deal with everything. The characters all have varying personalities and their interactions with the main character are all fun. However it’s really hard to get money in this game so be careful on how you spend.

Xenoblade chronicles

- the first game has a nice sense of community and friends. I like how the characters interact and the way different cultures are shown. Though I haven’t finished the game just yet. The character customization is nice though a lot of the women outfits are revealing. Now revealing outfits aren’t particularly a big deal but for there to be so few pants without a cut in the back is a bit ridiculous. Otherwise, I enjoy the game. I like the chart of all the characters interactions in the communities. Do be careful with rare materials and make sure to check which ones you can trade for beforehand. It can be a bit of a pain to realize you can’t complete a quest without a certain rare material.

- I started the third game of the series recently. It doesn’t have the same vibes so far. The characters are nice but it’s lacking the sense of community and varying cultures the first one had. The cutscenes are super long and there’s less interaction with the world so far. The first game felt more immersive for me. The cutscenes give kingdom heart cutscenes a run for their money when it comes to their length. Not necessarily bad but it makes it less immersive for me so far. I’m still going to continue it and I’ll update my view of it the further I get in game. The characters personalities are fun so far so I hope I can get pulled into the story a bit more.

Legend of Zelda breath of the wild

- I like this game. The environment, animals, and world building are all nice. Link’s characterization is just so fun. His love for food and hatred of social interaction. The side quests and world building in this game are enjoyable and immersive. I find this game to be more about the journey than the ending of the main storyline in the game. So just take your time and enjoy all the beautiful graphics.

- tears of the kingdom. I haven’t finished this game yet. So far it’s been very fun. The weapon breaking doesn’t matter as much since you can combine materials. While some of the world building from the first game is lost in this one. Certain npc interactions don’t travel over and some characters don’t remember you. Which I find a bit ridiculous. I worked so hard on my house just to have someone else claim it as theirs? How does this town not even remember me? That aside, I do so love this game. I find having an endless supply of plant bombs ever so useful. And make sure to always test out the abilities you have in this game. They are far more versatile than expected! The developers really integrated them well. Spoiler warning! This next part will spoil parts of the game so please skip the rest of this ramble if you don’t want to be spoiled. I like to think that the astral projections of our friends can see what is going on with link. Like Prince Sidon going about his day wondering what link is doing and seeing him jump in front of a hydra (dragon) with just a handful of bombs and no armor. Or a lynel. It is funny how so few characters recognize link and yet everyone recognizes Zelda. Like sure she’s been missing for a hundred years but eh, who’s this guy with the same name as her knight? No one of importance just a random reporter.

Digimon story cybersleuth, complete edition.

- I highly enjoyed this game. I like the character dynamics and storyline. While the grinding for leveling up digimon is not my thing I enjoyed seeing the different types of digimon. The main character is fun and nice. Random civilian turned detective due to uh certain circumstances. I think the game has an online feature where you can battle other players but it’s never worked for me so I’m uncertain. Now I’ve only done the cybersleuth storyline so far. I’ve yet to finish the hacker storyline so I can’t say anything on that part. I started it a bit ago and the environment/community seems fun. Though I’m sure the storyline has a going to pull at my heartstrings.

Well that’s enough for now. I’ll talk more about games later. Have an amazing day!

Trick or Treat :3

You get King from My Engineer!!! He was in the Autistic Swag bracket!!!

I may have just binge watched this show and I freaking love it. It is incredibly difficult for me to find gifs of it unfortunately.

Got Jirayu as Race in BAD GUYS (2022)

The Day I Loved You - Filipino bl. This show slays, especially Nikko. He’s awesome. I see a lot of people saying it has Heartstopper vibes. I do see some semblance in the art styles and special effects. It’s really cute so far and the characters are fun. School delinquent gets caught committing vandalism and is punished. What does he have to do? Community service and join the dance troupe. School president and leader of the dance troupe, Nikko has to teach the school delinquent to dance. Honestly it’s just really fun so far.

Old-fashioned Cupcake - Cute romance story. Two office workers hang out and have fun. Visiting dessert shops and enjoying life. Just a cute story.

Make a Wish (2023) - An Angel and a doctor who sees ghosts. A goofy and fun story so far. Mystery, drama, comedy, what conspiracies will these two unveil?

Triage - A doctor stuck in a time loop. Forced to find a way to save a young man from death’s clutches, watch as this doctor stumbles his way through each loop. With an Angel by his side to keep him on track and no way of escape, what will this doctor do?

Memory in the Letter - On the night a comet passed by an event linking two worlds together occurred. Now with a mirror showing another world, how will these two new kinda roommates handle life?

A Secretly Love - MC has had an ongoing crush for 7 years. Having already confessed, he is fine knowing that his crush is happy. Now going to the same university, mc has unfortunate run ins with his oblivious crush.

My Secret Love - School pranksters and club presidents are forced to work together. The chancellor is definitely abusing her authority. Has similar vibes to bad buddy with the neighbor situation. It’s cute but the chancellor is definitely evil. What she’s doing is wrong on so many levels, otherwise enjoy.

My Precious (2024) -

Tokyo Tower (2024) - Seems like a cute romance story.

Takara no Vidro -

Vanishing My First Love / My Love Mix-Up (Kieta Hatsukoi) - Super cute Highschool romance.

Psych-hunter - Amnesiac Jiang Shuo gets entangled in a web of murders. Caught in a game where lives are on the line, what can he do? Qing Yi Heng, a psychologist, and (I haven’t found her name yet), a cop, have their own agendas/motives for getting involved. Now working together, will they be able to solve these crimes and save everyone? Will they be able to survive?

Killer and Healer - A doctor and officer begrudgingly work together to solve crimes. I enjoyed this show however there are two endings to this show. One good, one bad. Choose whichever one you want, I vote the good ending is the real ending. Cause that’s what these characters deserve. They deserve happiness.

The Golden Eyes - A pawn shop owner gets super eyes? That is a horrible description, I can do better. Just uh give me a moment. I need to research this show a bit more.

Celestial Authority Academy -

Blacklist - Blackmail, manipulation, murder. Bloodthirsty and dangerous, how will these students survive the hell they’ve been put into. Is it all orchestrated? Who started this? A game they all have to play, who will survive to the end? (Take this overview with a grain of salt. I remember almost nothing from this show)

My roommate is a fairy fox -

Remember my boy -

Queer Beauty -

Love is more than a word -

The most beautiful place is my place -

Theory of Love - Ah unrequited love. Best friends and roomates. One has been in love with the other for years while the other is a playboy. Drama, friendship, betrayal. How will this story go down?

Tohon Chocolate - I’m not a fan of the main romance. The main romantic interest is homophobic and a jealous douchebag most of the time. He may change, it’s just my current understanding of the show storyline. I like the side characters such as the roommates and rich guy (he needs to learn to take no for an answer but otherwise he’s not that bad). Childhood friends reunite after years apart. One has had a crush on the other for years, what will happen now?

S.C.I. Mystery - I keep misreading the title as CSI but it’s not, brain please. I haven’t watched this one yet but from my current understanding it’s mystery and detective type stuff. Looks super cool. Special Crime Investigation Team. That’s what it stands for. Childhood rivals are forced to work together to solve crimes.

Crossfire - it’s about gamers and that’s all I really know. It has the same actor that’s in Tomb of the Sea (lost tomb series) which is how I found out about it. Looks fun.

Cherry Magic - ah, secondhand embarrassment. We meet again. Just a really nice and goofy show. The characters are super expressive and the romance is cute. I loved it.

Sweet Combat -

The Long Ballad -

Peach of Time - it’s sad… I don’t wanna deal with its sadness so I haven’t watched it fully.

You Light Up My Life Again - University setting. Roommates, music, and sports. Enemies to lovers is what it currently appears to be.

Although I Love You and You? - A restaurant owner falls for a salaryman. Bro has fallen hard. It’s a really cute watch so far.

Favoritism of the God - A student recently confessed to his crush only to trip into oncoming traffic. Unfortunately, truck-kun failed to isekai the mc. I’m not that far into this show so I’m not exactly certain what happens. Essentially, mc gets offered a deal by a god of a shrine he visited 100 times. What does he choose to do with this deal? Well he decides to become his crush’s ideal type. He believes that means becoming a girl. I don’t know how well this show will handle that but that’s the premise. I’m only on episode 2 at the moment. I don’t feel like continuing it at the moment but if you watch it let me know what you think please.

Nishiogikubo Mitsuboshi Youshudou - A chef recently quit his job, reunites with old classmates. A bar for everyone, come join these old friends as they take a break from life and live in the present. Will they find what they are looking for? (Honestly I’m loving this show. The same actor from cherry magic is in this one. It’s full of emotions and friendship. A nice comfy watch.)

A man who defied the world of bl - The theme song is super catchy. This is extraordinarily painful for me to watch. It’s goofy and comedic but I get really bad secondhand embarrassment. It’s full of cliches and silly tv show romantic scenarios. If this is what you’re looking for have fun! If not, no worries there’s plenty other shows out there for you to enjoy! What in the bl tropes is this? I’ve made it a bit of a ways into it and it’s mainly just a comedic goofy show. It’s extraordinarily hard for me to watch cause of secondhand embarrassment but it is a nice chill watch.

My personal weatherman - A broke mangaka is offered a place to live by his senior in university. Living expenses are fully covered as long as he does everything his senior tells him to. What exactly is their relationship?

Spring of crush/love in spring- Similar concept to Nobleman Ryu’s Wedding. A slave ran away and has to change his identity in order to not get caught. His father’s old friend makes a deal with him. He has to pretend to be his third daughter out of wedlock in order to survive. Unfortunately, the old friend’s wife is not a fan and after a year she sets up a wedding for the mc. How will mc survive? (I can’t find the next episode TvT I’ll have to continue watching this one later)

Oh! My Assistant - Fairly cute romance story. A manga artist that does X-rated works needs to hire an assistant.

Our dating sim - Old best friends reunite after one of them vanished the day they confessed their love. Now working in the same company, what will happen? (I’m on episode 6)

Love Tractor - A top of the class law student takes a break from the social expectations placed upon him. Now hiding away at his grandfathers farm, he gets roped into working for his grandfather. What will he learn from these friendly faces?

Fudanshi bartender - this is painful for me to watch, because again. Secondhand embarrassment is strong with this one. Okay I can’t handle the secondhand embarrassment from this show so I don’t know much about it. Have fun. A bartender who secretly likes bl and makes manga based on the interactions he sees at the bar.

Justice in the dark - the Abyss - Seems interesting so far. A strange event caused 1.3% of people to loose emotions. (Carole and Tuesday did something similar and addressed it well. There is a medical thing where this just is. It doesn’t make someone good or bad, it just is). However, society believes the rising crime rate to be because of this. Wanting to put into effect laws where people are forced to take a blood tests to see if they’re part of the 1.3%, society is in turmoil. Our main characters investigate the murders occurring and have to figure out who all is behind them.

Craving you - A chef and a singer work together as a business strategy to promote each other’s works. However, their pasts haunt them. Will they be able to find closure? Will they be able to move on?

After Sundown - movie. The trailer looked intriguing. Karma, fate, destiny. When one is destined to fall, his parents decide to tie his fate to another in order to save him. (I haven’t watched it yet. The trailer makes me think it will have a similar plot line to the Sign series.)

Love Mate - An office worker who doesn’t believe in love gets a new colleague who is determined to teach mc about love. Why? To be honest I’m still unsure as I’m only on the first couple episodes but if the assumption is correct, the new guy says he fell in love at first sight so uh let’s just go with that.

Make it right -

Twenty twenty - Twenty years old… what does one do now? Growing up is strange and figuring out what to do is difficult. Can they figure out what they want from life? (I’ve only watched a bit of episode 1)

Senpai, this can’t be love - well, that escalated quickly. Hmm I’m sensing secondhand embarrassment on the horizon… New socially awkward cgi worker ends up under the mentorship of a friendly experienced cgi worker. Extrovert vs introvert, will they be able to properly communicate? I’ve just started episode two and wow, I’m scared. It seems interesting though and I like the outro song so imma try to see if I can handle this show.

Ah this one is getting a bit long so I’ll end it here. Have a marvelous day/night!

I kept adding more stuff to this so I’ll post it as is. I’ll edit the missing overviews later. Have fun!

Why do all my fucking comedies stab me in the heart man. What was that, you can’t fucking wound me like this man.

Anyway on an only slightly related note I finish Highschool Return of Gangster and damn I cried. Loved it but damn.

Also, Last Meal Universe, fucking love you and your sillies and the pain man. Love my silly shows also loved the ending behind the scene/bloopers clips during credits. Fucking great.

Oh no here comes trouble, one day I shall be able to finish you. Once i figure out my best option of watching you, one day I'll manage it. Same for you Missing the Other Side. How dare you disappear from the streaming service I have access to just to reappear as season 2, I wasn't fucking done with season 1. But ill get there eventually.

Damn I’m so fucking hungry, I should probably eat. Hmmmmmm. But it’s finals week. Gotta finish this painting. But food. Both is the answer. Of course. Never mind food is the answer, I shall return momentarily finals. And this time, I’ll just create you the way I want to. Without getting wrapped up in my head thinking it won’t be right I’ll just do it my way. It should meet the requirements and I believe it shows some of what I learned but it feels better to me this way. Who knows, but I’ll have it down. And I’ll like it. No matter what happens, I’ll like it.
