What part of the fire emblem games do you like the most? I'm really grateful that you decided to do this, and it inspired me to try to make my own games again. I wanted to know what sorts or things you like in an RPG.

Oooh hmmmmm…

Well rpg’s have always been one of my favorite game genres. I love the greater emphasis they put on characters and story, the feeling of exploring a world (i’m thinking of early-mid Final Fantasy right now haha), and the feeling of progression for your characters has always been satisfying to me.

In terms of Fire Emblem itself? Of course, the characters are a big part. I also really like its turn-based strategy mechanics, especially in Fates I have a whole lot of fun devising strategies on the fly, and it feels very rewarding when I do succeed.

Please reblog this with what you liked about Fire Emblem!

I'm curious. I may want to make a game similar to it if I can, but I want to know what people like about it in the first place.

It's called "1+2" because a bisexual woman and a lesbian get together and live happily and also because Keiko, Haruka, and Tsubasa make 3 people (1+2).

Manga pitch: 1+2

A tale of loss and new love afterwards. A yuri story about average people.

32 year old Minami Keiko’s husband recently passed away, leaving her and her daughter, Haruka, alone. Though she still mourns, she gets right back into the workforce in order to support her daughter.

One day, the pair come across a curious toy shop and a curious artist within. Captivated, they stop by only to find a fast friend in the shop’s owner: a woman named Murasaki Tsubasa.

This is a story about two women falling in love and dealing with the experiences that come with being in love.

Other things -it should have a similar feeling to the movie “Wolf Children” -canon bisexual main character -canon lesbian character -they don’t die -deals with biphobia and other issues -happy ending -work in progress, may add other things pertaining to representation.

-Suggestions wanted!

Message me if you’re interested in hearing about my universe and writing, or if you want to discuss yours sometime. I would like some input on how to get my literal 10 stories started and finished so I can edit them.

Some are comics or games, so I would be writing the scripts instead of writing he novels.

on young-ah’s characterization

Young-Ah in Blood Bound definitely has ptsd, and she probably has depression in some form.  i’m not sure if she has bpd, but upon looking over a survey about bpd, she fits a lot of the criteria.  it could just be that much of her behaviors add up and come to resemble that sort of thing, though.

in addition to that, apparently she sounds autistic to some people.  not to say that i’m saying that that assessment is incorrect, but i did not go into her character intending to write her that way.  her behaviors are what they are; i did not initially write her with any particular disorder or anything in mind.

so, on that note, i would appreciate it if someone who does relate to Young-Ah to give me some feedback on how she is characterized and such.  obviously, i cannot re-engineer her entire character to fit one person’s desires, but it is important to me that i write her well and do her character justice.

Choice of Games Project: Cyber Runners

Work In Progress: When a human is forced to face their death under “unfortunate circumstances”, they are allowed a second chance at life through extending salvation to others.  The Cyber Runners is a supernatural organization made up of the haunted and the irredeemable...and it seems you’ve found yourself at their front desk, filling out an application form.  Your task is to return to Earth in order to protect the true living from the Fragments of the Apocalypse, though with few restrictions binding you to your duties, it’s up to you how you spend your new “life” on Earth.  Just take to heart that your actions have weight, and thus can tip the scales of Fate.

...is the initial pitch.  I hope to get something out of it.

@sapphicwhirlwind i finally have a good name for that asian steampunk novel i was telling you about​

The Clocktower Crows

an East-Asian Steampunk novel featuring the Japanese invasion of Korea and China and how the Order of the Three Legged Crow helps overthrow it

featuring political intrigue, demons, guns, swords, winged people, and gays (obviously)

message me if you want more info, because i remember we talked about this one (1) time before

The kind of self harm young committed wouldn't really be talked about a lot on here. She'd purposefully let herself slam into things and fall and bang into things hard enough to leave bruises without actually seeming intentional. She'd randomly burst into fits of anxiety or anger where she'd run away and trip and scrape her knees enough to make them bleed, and then never treat them. She'd punch solid concrete and metal and would refuse to wear any reflective material while biking in the street at night. Some level of power stemmed from controlling those things rather than let them happen. That's what she thought. Instead of letting her dad beat her, she'd willingly choose to let things hurt her. It was a dull illusion of control, but it was enough. Sometimes, out of rebellion, she'd go days avoiding food. She'd just never eat, and then would eventually break down and surrender to it. But never in front of anyone. She had some health issues because of malnutrition, but got better after a point. Generally, she was an unhealthy person. It took a very long time to get her to fall out of those habits.

[mistfeatherworks]

I'd like her to make a return to earth. Parallels and all that. The hero's journey and whatever. But yeah, I don't know if I want her to CONFRONT him aggressively. Maybe she could just shake his hand and say, "hello, sir. My name is Young-Ah Park, and I'm your dead daughter."

A Katara moment would be major for Young...I guess I have a lot of choices as to how I want her True Boss battle to go.

i think i just wanted to know more about the narrator and why/how s/he ended up there. also when the narrator says the dad is “off to his dinner party, where these others work” who are these others?

Young-Ah is the narrator here.  Through a series of VERY unfortunate things and a long, long life of abuse and, to an extent, gaslighting and neglect, she has decided to commit suicide by jumping off the top of a building (specifically, her father’s main office building).  She hates him completely and utterly.  It’s a serious black spot in her soul.  He’s a huge, abusive douche bag, but his story is pretty tragic.  He’s a disgusting p3dophile, though, so I really wouldn’t sympathize too much, even if I acknowledged that.  

Arguably, his background somewhat explains why he’s the biggest scumbag on the planet Earth, but it does not, in any way, justify it.  Young’s biggest dream is to destroy him and everything he loves (which is not her at all, she frequently acknowledges).  This all gets resolved in the end of the story.  I’m still pondering about whether I want her to face him early on in the story and scare him pants-less or if I want her to be very vague about what happened (so as not to trigger anyone) and confront him in the end of the series (after she has literally slain a god).

In this part of the story, she’s contemplating how her father goes off to dinner parties and such while the rest of his company continues to work.  It’s a fairly normal practice, Young just scorns him for doing it because she doesn’t think it’s very fair.  That said, Young’s father doesn’t engage in very ethical business practices anyway.  This is hardly anything.  (In other words, she thinks he should be less shady and put more work into his actual job instead of investing in what is essentially intergalactic mafia affairs and dinner parties.)

is the protagonist one of those morally questionable types because those are rly interesting. im reading the young elites series by marie lu and the main char. is actually becoming the villain and it’s dark and FASCINATING

Young is, for all intents and purposes, morally neutral.  She doesn’t necessarily do things for the good of the people in the world.  She does things for the good of the people she pledges loyalty to.  By extension, if she can understand who or what those people value, she may subscribe to those values as well.  Her morals tend to shape shift to fit whoever she’s close to, which is why it’s a little difficult to understand her motives at times.

So, to be clear, she feels sympathy for those that she identifies with and those she’s loyal to.  She identifies with the workers at her father’s company, who she sees as rather ripped off, and so sympathizes with them working later hours.  At the time of the story, it’s about 10:00 pm.  Those are some absurd hours.  (Young has, at this point, pissed off her father for around 4 hours by never showing up, and is thus rather reluctant to ever go home anyway.  Her initial plan was to not.)

Young never becomes a villain…not really, anyway.  She does commit human sacrifice, though.

[mistfeatherworks]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. And even then, by this point, she's rather tired of fighting. I'm hesitant to even really have her speak to him within the actual story. I might even cut it out and post it outside the story. It depends on what maintains the power of the moment.

Thanks for your input. Any other ideas? In general.

@mirrormystic The question is, when should Young confront her father?
