Chinomiko stating that Jason's song is "Devil doesn't bargain"

Me, totally delulu and unhinged: Maybe you mean "It's alright" by Mother Mother, especially the "It's alright, it's okay. You're not a demon, there's a reason you behaved in that way" part?

[kamyru]

What if Jason doesn't only have poliosis (the white patches of hair) but also Waardenburg syndrome (type 2), for which poliosis is one of the characteristics? The other characteristics are bright blue eyes (checked), and some degree of hearing loss. I would like to see a HOH character in otome, especially a sassy one (considering how often the HOH characters are shown as soft and passive).

[kamyru]

Me: I don't know if I am ever writing again. The stories I loved don't catch my interest so much. I am in a writing and otome reading blog.

The first otome game I have ever played and which made me enter fan-fiction world: Here's a new generation for you a.k.a a new obsession for the next few years.

[kamyru]

They are all so cute, but I can't get over how soft Jason looks at Candy. Like, it's so out of his cold and sarcastic persona we see in his appearance in second episode that I can't wait to get to see his first soft scene.

I love them🥺 I can't find Amanda tho

Can someone tell me if Haru from Kuranosuke's stories is a female or a male? Because in different stories, they address the cat differently. I thought it's a girl, then they started using only "he/him" and in Kuranosuke's POV in MS3 is a girl again. I'm confused, who knows the right answer?

Hi! I saw your blog dp of Togo and I just read all his eng available stories and just had to rant if you dont mind! I WAS NOT EXPECTING HIM to become one of my favourite characters of all time his story had a lot of depth in both S1 and 2 and it was so surprising! If you're up for it can you tell me about your thoughts on him? Im just so EXCITED 😆😆😆

Hi, @joyfulenthusiastwitch thank you for your ask. Actually, Togo is my favorite and I am really glad you started this conversation.

Togo got my interest since he appeared in Kasai's MS 2. I started writing about him even long before his story was confirmed for Japanese app. Like, it was obvious that the man had a crush on MC. And I love when people that are usually stoic have obvious crushes on someone, it makes them so cute and everything. Plus, we don't get so many stories with the man falling in love with MC from the start, not only after she fell.

And I can talk about his first season for days. It was perfect, in my opinion. It had funny moments, dramatic moments without them being out of hand, but pretty realistic. Togo is funny, and kind, and what I love the most about him, an obvious feminist.

I hate it when victim blaming and jealousy are portrayed as "care" for MC. With all my love for Araki Jun, his first season is the best representation of "victim blaming". And I let it slip in Voltage, but it was a breath of fresh air to see a male character being like: "I'll take the blame for divorce, because women have it harder from the society." Him saving MC from sexual harassment, and other instances that I don't remember in small details.

Plus, Togo is a very good boss. Have you seen him talking on the phone with a rude client/coworker in Kuranosuke's season 3? That's golden.

However, I actually liked his first season way more than his second one. Maybe because I was so hyped up about his first season and waited for it more than half a year. His season 2 was good, but in my opinion, the bar that season 1 put was too high. Like, I have more than 700 screenshots of his season 1, and less than 50 of his season 2. But it can also be due to the fact that I had exams when it came up and was too exhausted to admire it's true value.

But I do still love a lot of things that Togo has done in season 2. I agree with someone in the game's comments that the writers have to do something with the 5 years long absence, because it will be hard to make very good and appealing seasons one after another with them being long distance for so long. But we will see. I hope MC is gonna go after him soon.

Putting all together, I love Daimon Togo. Like, when I saw his first season, I was like: "I really hope I meet someone like him in real like." He actually got my bar for men higher.

[kamyru]

Imagine first season Araki Jun meeting an MC who has strong feminist ideas and takes no shit. That would have been a good clash of life philosophies.

TW! "Have you ever thought about dying?" (Kiba Kuranosuke x MC) (Scenario)

Trigger Warning: Suicidal thoughts

Word counting: 1040

Kuranosuke looked at the red liquid in his glass. It wasn't like him to drink wine alone, at home, and without being forced by someone else. It wasn't like him to look at its dark color and think about blood. He had never associated wine with passion, red lipstick, romance, or anything else. No, for him, wine was wine. In the best-case scenario, it was the center of attention if a winery asked him to take on a project. But right now, wine looked like blood, and blood looked like death.

"Have you ever thought about dying?" Kuranosuke mumbled, barely audible. At first, Shiori didn't even hear him. He had to raise his head and look directly into her eyes to make her understand it wasn't a rhetorical question.

Shiori gulped. A day ago, she was helping her husband by keeping the cold compress against his split eyebrow after he saved her from a falling shelf. There was blood and pain. Did he hit his head so bad that it brought this random thought into his mind?

"Not seriously," Kranosuke's wife said in a soft voice. She took a step closer to the man she was supposed to love for the rest of her life. Her hand was held out towards him. But Kuranosuke didn't see it, and she couldn't keep it like this for an eternity.

Of course, she had never thought about dying. There was no normal person who would think about this. Kiba Kuranosuke wasn't normal, he knew this, and his family would constantly remind him of this. They did the same thing hours earlier.

The Kiba family was loud and happy around their black sheep - Kuranosuke. He also tried his best to laugh and joke. But when the whole family finally considered one of his jokes funny, for only a second he felt happiness because the next one, his entire chest tightened, not letting him breathe free. Kiba Kuranosuke was the black sheep of his family. He wasn't allowed to be happy with them. It wasn't his role there, and when he did it, his mind immediately reminded him to go back to his place.

His mind reminded him of the time when his sister was threatening him to tell their parents that his teacher asked him not to look so sharply at his classmates because their parents were complaining about the bully who was scaring their kids. And how she still turned him on to his mom, and minutes later, his entire family was giving him lessons about how to be kinder. He wasn't kind enough.

His mind reminded him of the time when his parents were jokingly telling their relatives and friends that they were afraid of how Kuranosuke would act toward his new baby brother. However, it was his sister who hid all her toys the day baby Kiba came home from the hospital. Kuranosuke was smiling and willing to hold his sibling. But no one saw it. He wasn't a good enough sibling.

His mind reminded him of the time when he got so sick he couldn't move. So, his mom took a few days off to take care of him. She was giving him the needed medicine, making sure he was eating and sleeping enough. But there was no other activity they were doing together, like how his siblings were talking about every time they got sick and didn't go to school. His mom didn't watch movies with him, didn't discuss the last book she read, and didn't gossip about her acquaintances. That was the first time in his life when he thought that if he were to die, his family would do everything for the ceremony and soon forget about him. They would cry, but just enough not to be heartless. They would miss him but not retell any good memory of him. He wasn't enough.

Kiba Kuranosuke fell on his sofa with his coat and shoes on. His second wife and first love was slowly taking out her outside clothes while humming the same song his little brother had sung nearly an hour ago. He didn't see that his wife had a mischievous plan. Before Kuranosuke could be his usual put-together self, MC jumped on his back and hugged her husband while lying on him. Sensing some action, Haru didn't let himself wait for too long. He jumped on MC's back and made himself comfortable there. Kuranosuke groaned but didn't try to do anything about the commotion on him. Instead, he buried his face in the softness of the sofa.

This time, his parents didn't remember his childhood and teenage years. No, they gave MC an entire Ted Talk about how he wasn't suited for marriage and that she could have done better. On one hand, Kuranosuke knew that they were joking and teasing. On the other hand, it was years too late to tell them that he was more sensitive about this topic than they thought.

Kiba Kuranosuke felt like dying. He had his small family in the closest proximity to him, but he knew they were too good for someone like him. This thought had terrorized him for an hour since he found himself laughing with his wife and parents. He had been told his entire life that that type of happiness wasn't for him, and now he was feeling guilty to have it.

"Do you always feel like living?" Kiba Kuranosuke mumbled, barely audible, with his face deep into the cushions of the sofa.

MC didn't move and didn't respond to his question. It was like she didn't even hear it. Yet, a few moments later, when Kuranosuke had to give up on biting his lip if he didn't want to wound it, he felt MC's hands tightening around him. A few more minutes passed, and he felt something hot and wet on his cheek. It wasn't any of his tears. No, they were getting immediately absorbed into the sofa. It was MC. Again, sensing the commotion, Haru jumped from MC onto the sofa, getting comfy near his owners' pressed faces.

"I don't know what to tell you. But I know that I want you to allow yourself to be happier. You deserve it."

Trigger warning: Suicidal ideation

Spoiler warning

I was watching a podcast and the guest started to talk about their mental health and dropped this phrase: "I leave my good house, drive a fantastic car to my adored job where I make a lot of money to bring home, kiss my beloved kids and beloved wife, after which I'm lying in bed and want to die."

For a long time I have thought that Voltage, even if not very obviously, tries to depict characters that struggle emotionally, with the way they joke about dying, the trauma they went through, and sometimes even the dialogues they have with MC or other characters in the story. So, here are the characters I have thought about when I heard the above mentioned quote: Takaomi Tsugaru & Munechika Takado. There are more, but maybe I didn't think of them or didn't read their story.

Takado is more of the "joking" about suicide type of person. I do have a post somewhere in this blog with a screen from him where he says: "I'm not that suicidal." Takado himself acknowledges his suicidal inclinations and the trouble he has with this. And while I do really appreciate the relationship between the EICU doctors and think that their dynamics is very well written and healthy, and funny, and fantastic and aaaaa. I still somehow feel bad for Takado that he doesn't have a friend as close to him as Momose is to Tsugaru or Sen is to Kasumi. And I don't think that you can compare someone's suffering and say that someone has it easier than someone else, though a more mentally stable friend would be of a good aide for him. No, this is not putting the responsibility from one person to another and burdening someone uselessly. As a suicide prevention line volunteer, I know first-hand that this is bad and we have to think firstly about our own safety and wellness. But, also as a suicide prevention line volunteer I do know the importance of having someone near you. This is one of the tools we use for helping the people that are asking for help. And in Takado's case he does have group of good friends, a good relationship with his sister, and MC. Yet, unlike Kasumi and Tsugaru, there's no person except MC later in the story, for which Takado can continue living. Truth be told, sometimes we have to live for others, because living for ourselves is not enough.

So, let's talk a little about Tsugaru, because I don't remember everything in big detail to talk a lot about him. But do you remember the season in which he told MC that he is not afraid to die and he can do it whenever, and doesn't really want to live or something like this? It's not hard to guess that this man needs therapy. And I really wish somewhere in the story he goes to it, because always leaning on MC & Momose is not the healthiest and most surest way to cope with everything. But I do really appreciate the fact that he has Momose. Tsugaru is one of the most obviously struggling character I have read about in a Voltage game. It's as if all the problems, traumas, and darkest past decided to use him as their meeting point. I don't remember if it was clearly written or if I just headcanonned this in my mind, but I do think that at some point, the only reason Tsugaru continued living was because of Momose.

And I do appreciate that Voltage creates this type of characters, even if they may do it more for the shock value than for showing diversity. Though, I would really like to read a mention of them going to therapy. Or, I do want to see them struggling deeply with this even if they are with MC. Because !Spoiler! Love doesn't magically cure all your mental health problems.

Maybe that's my "I want to be a psychiatrist" part talking, or the love for deeply troubled men in fiction, but I do have to thank Voltage for creating them, so that I can write fics about how troubled they are.

P.S. Another character that I somehow think about in this situations is Kuranosuke Kiba, but not because he has ever shown symptoms of suicidal ideas, but because he has a story of trauma behind him. He does give me the aura of a: "Yeah, this was a great day... I want to die." He doesn't have an obvious traumatic past that screams MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. What he has is very close to a lot of us, is easily to understand, and easy to interpret. It's the "I do conceptually love my family. But I can't bring myself to have a healthy relationship with them." And the good thing is that he tries to get better at least by understanding that he do really has a problem. (Plus, I do adore the scene in which he comes back after a meeting with his parents and falls on the sofa without any energy. It shows him as a vulnerable and relatable character.)

I'm always open to discussion about this characters or some others that you can think about in this case.

Do you know how Kuranosuke forgives Shiori for what she has done? I love this about his personality and character in general. He is the toughest and roughest out of all OISY guys, hardest to interact with and so on. Yet, the fact that he forgives his former wife for cheating on him gives him a little bit of contradiction in his personality, adds him depth, shows that he is not the bad person he wants other to think about him.

And I really wanted to use this weapon of his in my fanfics. However, I didn't know how. But these days, I finally got an idea about how to add Shiori to my multi-chapter enemies to lovers OISY AU. And not just as a mention, but as one of the main casts, giving her the lovable personality that Kuranosuke had mentioned in his first season, with all her softness and inability to say no and state her wishes.

I am against cheating. I think it's everyone's choice to forgive someone who cheats on them, and personally, I know I can't. I won't be able to act as Kuranosuke did and fight for the cheater's happiness. But the story is not about me. And trying to write someone who is so far from me is very interesting.

how many languages do you know?

(i’m counting languages where you took one class for a semester if you retained any of it congrats you are a little multilingual)

(reblog for bigger sample size!)

[kamyru]

[ID: A video clip showing a Black person in a green coat interviewing an elderly white person holding up a flag, with more protesters in the background displaying Palestinian flags.

The interviewer asks, "Why is it important for you to be here today?"

The protester responds, "Well, uh, I'm Jewish, I'm Israeli, my parents were the only survivors of their families from the Holocaust. They both survived Auschwitz. I'm not going to support genocide am I?

"I'm here with the Palestinians, and we are here with Palestine, because we don't believe that what the British government is doing is correct. The British government is supporting this genocide! It's arming Israel, it's financing Israel.

"BBC and the other media here is supporting genocide. This is illegal. This is immoral. We don't agree with it, we will never agree with it, and as Jews -- and myself as Israeli -- I am totally against it, and we will continue to be against it.

There are now more than 60 such events in the whole of Britain, uh, people don't want to support this. They are against this government on so many other issues, but especially on this one."

Another elderly white protester next to the first joins in, leaning forward to add:

"And, also, this didn't start on October the 7th. In 1948, Palestinian villages, hundreds of them --"

Another elderly protester interjects specifically, "500 of them".

The second protestor nods and continues, "were demolished, thousands of Palestinians, innocent men, women, and children were slaughtered, and seven-hundred and fifty thousand Palestinian refugees were created. That's when it started, and it hasn't stopped since!"

Do you know how Voltage made Takado and said that he is God-like handsome, and everyone is envious of him?

I'm on my ortho lessons in med school and do them in the hospital, only me and the doctors, because I'm Erasmus and special.

Damn, if you see a very handsome doctor with muscly arms and a back better than a king sized bed, look if he has scissors in his pockets. If yes, that's Takado, that's the true orthopedist, that's the Greek God of doctors.

Forget about crushing on athletes, rock starts, and actors. Start crushing on your local orthopedist.

[kamyru]

Do you know what we deserved but didn't get?

A mysterious, not talkative, nerdy, eyeglassed, familist with three kids due to marrying in early 20s BFF of Takado who works as a radiologist.

Inside info from someone who was in ortho surgery rooms: a lot of ortho surgeries are made teamed up with radiologists, or at least in East Europe (though, it looks like this is true in other parts of the world too).

So far, in "Pastry, cats, and break up songs" I have 14 Voltage Inc characters from different games, including: Her Love in The Force, Irresistible Mistakes, Oops! I Said Yes?!, Romance MD: Always on Call, and Tokyo Love Hustle.

Two of them are vet students, two are vets, one is a med student, one is a therapist, one is an ex-yakuza who owns a sex shop, two are programming students, two own a pastry shop, one is a scammer, one is a detective, and another one is a student who I still don't know what studies.
