[sofleve-blog]

It's finally happening !!!! PLZ READ YOUR MCL FORUM FOR ALL THE INFOS.

-*-*-*-*-

I'ts been so hard to keep my mouth shut these last few months, but here we are !

After so much time, even years, seeing how much you miss Lysandre, Armin and Kentin means really a lot to me as their original creator.

I am super excited to tell you that we are working with @beemoov on a series of 4 épisodes focusing on Lysander. I hope you will get the answers and happy closure you deserve with him. Regarding Armin and Kentin, their own stories will be produced if Lysander's one is successful enough. That means it's in YOUR POWER to make it happen, and I strongly hope you will !

(Please be kind to me on this topic, I can't do anything more at this point. ) I thank you again so much for all the love towards these characters <3 And don't forget I am more active on Instagram, follow me there @chi.no.miko

Dear @chinomiko,

When I first started playing My Candy Love on New Year’s Day in 2013, I was simply a 17 year old girl who was starting the second half of my Senior Year in High School. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and I certainly had no idea where I’d end up. At the time, I was just looking for a new anime style site to call my internet home after the destruction of TinierMe. In my search, I stumbled upon your site. I had never played a dating simulator before, and I fell for your art style, so I decided to give the site a shot. It didn’t take me long to bond with Nathaniel… He was a kind young man, who loved to read, and had a tortured home life… Even though the torture at home was different between him and me, I still felt like I had found a character I could recognize… Hell, I did the same thing with Ken… My bond with Nathaniel was just so much deeper… 

Then I graduated High School… I had no college prospects, and no idea what I even wanted to go to college for (still entirely don’t know)…. My issues at home were getting worse, my love life was far from perfect, and living in Texas can be kind of ruthless on those who aren’t following the status quo… Even with going to the United Kingdom for 5 weeks, things still didn’t get better… And of course, the death of my childhood cat, Luna, in 2014 made things worse… So, I started focusing my free time on the game…. Working like crazy to get up to date with the episodes and bonus episodes, editing pics, and even writing fanfics… It became my escape from real life.

That did not change when I met the love of my real life in 2015. Despite entering into a relationship that is still going strong, I needed an escape from the hell my abuser was putting my family and me through, from the shitty job that I had gotten (and still have as of this letter), and from the hell that a really rare disease that had kicked on in my mother’s immune system had begun to put her and my family through. No amount of talking to people in my inner circle in real life helped… And there were times where it felt like the only emotions I knew were anger, sadness, and fear… It was during this time that my main MCL OC, Melody Alana Roster, came to life as what she is today… A strong, smart, beautiful, powerful, woman who goes through some of the worst hell imaginable and ends up living a life of peace with the man she loves (Nathaniel)…. When my abuser’s time in my family’s and my life was ending and she was going “all out” on me? I thought of what Alana and Nathaniel would be doing during the newest episode of the game. My job putting me through mental and physical hell (it’s a very demanding job)? I daydreamed about Nathaniel and Alana. My mother’s disease progressing and making my mother put my grandmother and me through hell? I would go in my room and write a section of my story or edit a pic when I could. Hell, My Candy Love became so prominent in my life as an escape that when my abuser’s daughter came back at me (this time with my boyfriend’s ex friend), one of the things she’d say to me was “All you do is sit in your room and write fanfiction.”… I needed something and My Candy Love and it’s fandom was something I enjoyed that kept me in my room (where I felt safe)… To this day, my boyfriend understands why I’ve put so much time and effort into it… Why I’ve spent so much money on it (AP, Gold, commissioned pics, and items)… It was a light in what felt like a sea of darkness in my life…

Now, I’m going to clarify something here… What is written in the last paragraph took place over the course of 5 years… Of course, when I get to the point of 2020, its easy to guess some of the reasons why I continued to focus on My Candy Love… However, I have an added reason…. Not only did the pandemic bitch slap Texas mid March, but about a week before that happened, on March 10th, my mother succumbed to the secondary infection brought on by her disease… And I had to grieve… Of course, when the pandemic hit about week later, I was told by society that I didn’t have time to grieve… As I am a grocery store worker… Which, I still tried to use My Candy Love as a means of escape… It felt like life was going “Yeah, you’re free from your mom’s disease, now here’s one that YOU could bring home to your grandparents and kill them with simply by going to work!”… Because, I’m sure even you know how poorly America has handled the pandemic… And Texas is one of the worst states when it comes to that…

I’m not saying this to make you feel sorry for me… Not in the slightest… I’ve leaned on my family, friends, and boyfriend for everything, so it’s not JUST My Candy Love that got me through all of this… I’m telling you this because My Candy Love and what I’ve done for it has helped me with it all immensely. I thought I had lost my passion for writing while I was still in school, even though my favorite teacher was encouraging me to continue… And here I am still writing my MCL fanfiction… Not only am I still writing my fanfic, I’m getting it turned into 1 copy of an actual book for my shelf when I’m done… When I took photography in High School and wasn’t good at photoshop, I thought it would never be a skill I’d use… And, yet, over the course of my time with MCL, my photo editing skills have improved DRASTICALLY… Sure, I can’t really edit real life photos… But I can make stuff for MCL avatars and such…

I mean, if someone had told me 8 years ago that I’d be so invested in this game that I’d have a body pillow of my favorite love interest, a folder of commissioned art, a blog with over 1,300 followers, an Instagram with nearly 300 followers, a custom plushie of my favorite love interest, a Discord Server with around 200 people in it… That I’d be the Vice President/Club Photographer of the US version of a fan club… That I’d make friends throughout the world in the fandom… That my editing skills would become as good as they are now… That I’d be working on the biggest writing project I’ve EVER worked on… And that I’d cry at the last episode the same way I cried during the Season 8 finale of Scrubs, the series finale of iCarly, Matt Smith’s regeneration in Doctor Who and the ending of Deathly Hallows Part 2… I would have told them that they’re crazy….

Yet… Here I am… I’m turning 26 years old in July… And all of that has happened… In real life, I’m still dealing with the pandemic, I’ve celebrated my 5 year anniversary with my boyfriend, and I’m even preparing to move in with him… Yet, online, I’m still VERY invested in your game. I’m still a long way from finishing my OC’s story… I still want to edit pics for Nathaniel and Alana… And I’m going to be contemplating playing the new game for a while… I’ll still play events… As long as Nathaniel is around, I’ll be there to greet him with a smile… But I don’t know about your new project…

All that being said…. There’s one MAJOR thing I’d like to say to you, Chino….

THANK YOU!

Thank you for everything! For all your hard work in this story… It’s far from perfect, but I still enjoyed the majority of it… For creating Nathaniel, the holder of my 2D heart…. Seriously, thank you for creating him… I have anime crushes, but I don’t love them as deeply as I love Nath…. Thank you for your art! Its amazing! You’re in my top 3 favorite digital artists… The others being Drachea Rannak and Marco Albiero… Thank you for all the work you continue to put into the game that a lot of us have, kind of, grown up with…. I wasn’t really a kid when I started playing, but I do consider myself to have “grown up” with it… Thank you for all of the other love interests… For Castiel, Kentin, Armin, Lysander, Priya, Rayan and Hyun… They’re not the ones I love most, but they’re all interesting characters… Thank you for Candy… While she and Alana greatly differ from each other, Candy was the heroine in a story that gave birth to Alana… Candy is far from perfect, but I’m glad her story ended well…. Thank you for creating the game that brought this fandom into existence… While the fandom can be VERY toxic at times, there are a lot of amazing people in it… They have become some of my dearest friends…

While the entire My Candy Love team at Beemoov deserves my gratitude… I feel like you are the most deserving of it… Because, without you, My Candy Love would not exist.

I look forward to seeing My Candy Love’s future… Either from the sidelines, or from the middle of it… I will see it’s future…

Thank you ChiNoMiko.

All my love and respect,

Melody Alana Roster
