LGBTQ CONTENT ALERT
Support the folks who make the content we crave
Producer of QL and BL content, Korea's Strongberry is small but scrappy and brought the world a lot more content than you might expect. The CEO had a live session a little while ago, and it was reposted with English subtitles yesterday. Among the takeaways: they have a lot more interest from actors than they used to. Also, some of the content they have distributed was produced by others but needed a distribution outlet, so they are clearly a part of the ecosystem that might not otherwise exist.
It's nice and short, and he says there will be a live session with the actors during March (date TBD). Watch this and drive up the stats! Make their investors realize they have a great audience! 😀
Above all, check out their other content on Gagaoolala and YouTube.

Hello, folks! Apparently I was aware of this before but just completely forgot about it somehow, so I'm putting this out here also:
The perspective that Dark Cacao Kingdom is an impoverished state, and that Dark Choco himself grew up in poverty, was a mistranslation courtesy of Google Translate.
The actual current translation is below:
"In my youth, you never gave me no warmth or sweetness. We did not have an affectionate father-son relationship the way others did."
I still don't really know for certain exactly where the idea that they were impoverished came from in the translation. Thank Google for being a genius in that regard, I guess. You're doing your best.
In any case, it should be noted that there are groups of people--POC and East Asians especially--who have been bothered and been taking issue with the idea that Dark Cacao Kingdom doesn't have the means or resources to take care of themselves.
As @mantafae brought up, there is a difference in a kingdom not having material goods because they don't have the means, and having the means but chosing not to partake in creating or using them.
I personally also believe that the perception of the kingdom being poor in food is by Affogato Cookie's doing. It didn't help matters when the child at the start of the story brought up concerns about starvation only to be turned away by Affogato, when later it's revealed that the castle actually did have food to spare. It's likely that there was also more food available than what was at the feast with Affogato's followers--food that was likely meant to be divided among the citizens but wasn't allowed by Affogato himself.
That's besides the point, and leads into the idea that it was an intentional means to weaken civilians so that he had an easier time to secure the throne with little threat of revolution. Or that he was perhaps attempting to frame Dark Cacao as having hoarded the food himself and Affogato--when he became king--as a savior for giving them that food. Either way, it's a bad first impression for leading the idea that they are a stable country in terms of food and resources.
I apologize for the spread of misinformation regarding the translation--at the time, it was assumed that it was the correct translation. It's important to keep up-to-date with what the canon actually is so we don't purposefully misrepresent the characters, their kingdoms, their heritage, and the people that they are designed to represent.
If you would like to read more of Mantafae's explanation, here is the Twitter link that explains a little bit further.
Thank you for reading! Please enjoy the rest of your day comfortably.

I mentioned the Black King and White Queen in another post and how I thought they looked cool, and I was planning on drawing them so I was going to look for their assets but couldn’t find any, so I just took screenshots from my game instead
I’m just posting them here because I think they look neat and I just wanted to share
The White Queen has more screenshots because she has more unique animations. I think she’s supposed to be like the hidden boss of the Trial

Hey, everyone! Very big announcement time.
It’s a little serious.
Me and Sanssupremacy talked it out, and it made me decide that Choomy is no more.
I am letting them have their own Broomie for it, but I don’t like the idea. Choco will NOT be appearing with Broomy anymore. Even if they have their own Broomie now. I will not tell why this is happening, because I do not want anyone to go and harass them.
We have been friends for a year now. And this is truely a goodbye.
I will miss my best friend. I will miss the great memories.
Thank you for reading. Have a wonderful night, everyone
If you decide to make fanart for Broomie, please tag me and only me. There is going to be two different Broomys from now on.
