I'm sorry, I will go nuts about Thousand Autumns on main, because this bit from Volume 2, Chapter 46 has been living in my brain rent free:

Yan Wushi literally just traded Shen Qiao for a sword he didn't even need, to a man who very likely would rape him and kill him, knowing Shen Qiao's only choice was to self-destruct and die. The worst possible betrayal... right after Shen Qiao had started to see Yan Wushi as a friend, to think that even if Yan Wushi was a monster to everyone else, maybe to him he could be different; maybe there was a speck of humanity hidden inside him.

And still, after all that, in excruciating agony after having shattered his own foundations and barely alive, Shen Qiao goes over every interaction they ever had and thinks that even if he could go back, and undo it... he wouldn't change it. He wouldn't take back knowing Yan Wushi, learning about the world, breaking out of his naive and secluded worldview. It makes me want to chew glass, because of course I've also seen people go "But when did Shen Qiao develop feelings for Yan Wushi?" and it's all... right there, with this being one of the most beautiful and subtle moments. Shen Qiao did fall first, and then couldn't even take it back, didn't want to take it back. And then cried about it. Someone save me from the Yanshen shaped Hell I find myself in!!

And I love MXS's writing because this isn't forgotten. Later on, in Volume 3, Chapter 79, Yan Wushi himself asks this, right before he sacrifices his own safety to lure Sang Jingxing away from Shen Qiao, in a reversal of what he did before:

Shen Qiao says he doesn't regret it. And I swear, when I first read the novel, at this part I instantly went "OH GOD YAN WUSHI WHAT ARE YOU ABOUT TO DO YOU HORRIBLE BASTARD NOOO" but then he proceeds to save Shen Qiao. All while spewing bullshit about how it doesn't actually mean anything. There's no feelings involved, of course not!

It's just. I love the symmetry of it, which is clearly intentional. Of having Shen Qiao, after Yan Wushi's betrayal, find himself unable to regret having met him. And then the same thing, but explicitly, right before Yan Wushi's one conscious, unselfish act of kindness.

Hey everyone!

Before the Darkness, a Geto Suguru dating sim is out now for free on itch.io! With the end of Jujutsu Kaisen, I hope this game offers some comfort to those of us still lingering in delulu land, giving our beloved characters the happy endings they deserve 💖

Summary:

The year is 2017, and Geto Suguru has announced a terrorist attack in Tokyo and Kyoto. You’re tasked with seeing possible futures to predict his moves. Despite everything he’s done, you never stopped loving him. So when you discover a way to go back and change his dark fate, you don’t hesitate. But changing the past doesn’t come without consequences. Geto’s obsession with killing shifts into an obsession with you. Can you break the cycle of pain and tragedy, or will you become trapped in a fate worse than the one you tried to rewrite? Be Geto’s light… before the darkness consumes you both.

The game has two endings, can you get them both? 👀

P.S.: There’s currently a poll on Patreon to decide the fandom and guy for October’s game. I’ll update you soon on who the lucky winner is!

For anybody unaware, these shots of Argenti from the new livestream are inspired by Lady Oscar from Rose of Versailles, a shoujo manga from the 70s.

Lamento Beyond the Void Expiatio (Tomoko Kanemaki/N+C) Chapter 1

Caput 1

Rai always got information about bounties from a bar in the back alleys of Ransen. Ransen—was the largest city in the center of Shisa. Built on ‘two stick’ ruins, it was a large town where things, cats, and information all gathered. Shisa was an island country surrounded by a coral reef. Having a central formation of several villages around Ransen, it hadn’t had much interaction from the surrounding countries. The lord of Ransen ceremoniously rules over all of Shisa, but each of the villages have their own system of governing, so he rarely interfered. You could say that Shisa was a self-governed country composed of small villages. He had heard there was prey in the forest near Ransen, so he was going there for the bounty. There was a secret hideout in the forest to go to for bounties. Normally, a cat could live comfortably off a bounty for about a year. Bounties were the only thing he worked for. Rai was in fact a bounty hunter. He’d swing his sword, take down the bounty, and collect the money. It was the sort of occupation that depended on his own strength and sword. Bounties weren’t always necessarily cats. Lately there had been a lot of bounties for demons. Once the ‘void’ started to cover the world, the number of demon sightings had increased. Rai was currently in the forest to capture that sort of bounty.
