#it's been awhile since I've enjoyed a mobile game but I'm liking this one for now

❄️ Zayne & Daz ✨

[gamingtrashbasin]

Current Stardew Valley ships

I'm including characters from Ridgeside Village and Expanded mods bc they are canon in my heart 💕

Maru x Sam

Girl boss and her himbo, need I say more? They have to have interacted since Sam is Seb's friend! Classic crush on older brother's friend. Also I think Sam would be super creative and everytime he was like "what if-" Maru would try to invent the thing. Complete chaos. Demetrius tries to threaten Sam like he does the farmer but it completely goes over Sam's head. This pairing lives in my head rent free.

Hailey x Leah

I can definitely see the two of them having multiple forest meet cutes and bonding over their passion for art! Just picture Hailey teaching Leah how to photograph and Leah teaching Hailey to paint and scuplt, both leaning new crafts together. They totally end up running a joint etsy and presenting their works at the fair! They make such a cute cottagecore couple fr if you think about it. I think they'd adopt a bunny don't ask me why. 🐰

Jeric (RSV) x Alex

Yessss himbo rivals to lovers! Ever since I saw there was a mod for them to get together I've been sold. It's canon to me.

Philip (RSV) x Sophia (SDVE)

Sophia enjoys anime, manga, and cosplay. Phillip has a secret geeky side and loves comics. I can totally see these two making awkward small talk at the Stardrop Saloon that turns into Gus politely asking them to leave because they got so enthralled discussing their favorites that they lost track of time and everything else going on around them and now the Saloon is empty and about to close lol. They end up having a slow burn geeky friends to lovers featuring them sharing copies of manga/comics and discussing the latest episodes of their favorite shows. Gus definitely ships it and gives them a nudge here and there.

Flor (RSV) x Gunther

The slowest slow burn. They are both autism creatures. I can completely see them bonding over their special interests bc if you think about it, archeologists and psychologists both study people. Just imagine them infordumping to each other on coffee dates in the Log Cabin Café or discussing the implications of newly discovered artifacts in the museum after hours. They are basically married before either one works up the nerve to ask the other on a date. The whole valley quietly ships it.

Shiro (RSV) x Harvey

Hear me out: Former paratrooper in recovery being treated by a doctor who wanted to be a pilot? There is no way they didn't talk about planes and Shiro's experiences. Shiro probably enjoyed that someone was talking to him about his interests instead of his injuries, it likely made him feel *normal again for awhile. I can just picture the moment when Harvey shows Shiro his radio equipment when he's well enough to go up the stairs, it's a big moment for them both for many reasons 🥺 Also, the added drama of having a crush on your doctor/patient...

*I'm not saying Shiro isn't normal, he has in game dialogue expressing he doesn't feel normal bc of his injuries. As a person with mobility issues myself I understand that mindset and how hard it is not to feel that way.

A Fandom Fridge Horror Story, or; Entering a Fandom Late

Me, late summer 2021, just after the first convention of Hot Vax Summer: Oh man, I missed cosplay so much! Huh, you know, my friends keep telling me I would really like this strategy game they're all into and are planning a group cosplay from now that conventions are happening again. I don't really like strategy games but they tell me these are quality blorbos, and I don't want to be left out of the group cosplay, since I regretted that last time I was late to the party on a game they told me I would really like. I guess I'll try out this game so I can see what the fuss is about.

Huh, actually this game is really fun! I love all these characters! I will now put 400 hours of my life into this game. New special interest unlocked!

Me, early summer 2022, having debuted my cosplay at a physical convention: That was really fun! Wow, everybody I talked to about this game at the convention was really nice and enthusiastic! I heard the fandom was a cesspool but I guess that was blown out of proportion. And look, there's a spinoff coming out like next week with gameplay I enjoy more than turn-based strategy!

Late summer 2022: Wow, that spinoff was so much fun, even more fun than the base game! But my friends don't really like musou so I'm the only one who's played the whole game, and also nobody else has played all the routes in the base game either, so I don't have anybody to talk to about my impressions on routes my friends haven't played. Since everybody at the convention was nice, maybe I could just reblog some things online and it would be fine.

Mid 2023: Well, I've been lurking awhile now, and it really does seem like this fandom is not that bad? I've definitely seen way worse. Maybe I actually could post my little thoughts about the themes and motifs and it would be fine? Maybe...about my favorite ship that seems like it's not very popular, even though there's so much canon material about it? Oh, maybe about how the blue guy and red lady have similar backgrounds and compelling connections but opposing worldviews that are fundamentally incompatible in a way that is both tragic and narratively interesting! Weird I haven't really seen too many posts about that, you would think it would be the main thing people would talk about, since it seems like the core thematic conflict, but I guess I am coming into the fandom pretty late.

Summer 2023: Huh, yeah people are being really nice! Sure I got one "Debate Me!" sealioning jerk on one of my least controversial posts who seemed disproportionately angry that the post obliquely implied that their favorite fake guy, who was not even actually mentioned in the post, might have one (1) entire character flaw, but that seems like an isolated incident. Wish this fandom was a little more active, but hey that's what happens after a few years, and I'm in the Niche Kingdom Hearts Mobile Game fandom so I'm used to a small group of dedicated fans just having fun amongst themselves. Too bad I missed the height of the fandom though, there was such good merch and I bet that was a lot of fun.

Me, this weekend, stumbling face first into a rabbit hole of Receipts:

Top 10 Anime (That I've Seen) in 2020

Well now, it has certainly been awhile. I'm currently sitting at eight months too late for posting this, but, y'know, something something life happens. More accurately, I already made this list, but wanted to try out what response I'd get from Reddit. Turns out, they're not as cool as you guys!

Anyways, as the title states, this is not a list of my favorite anime that came out during 2020, but instead my favorite anime that I just so happen to see during that year. While it's fun to have an end of the year retrospective, I find that having a list in this format not only adds variety, but also helps bring attention to anime that might have been lost in the shuffle in previous years (I also don't have enough time to stay caught up in seasonal releases).

Honorable mentions:

Aggretsuko S3, My Hero Academia S4, Today's Menu For the Emiya Family, Interspecies Reviewers (yes, really), and I Couldn't Become a Hero So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job

10. Maid-Sama (2010)

In hindsight, I find it a bit funny that I wanted to watch something wholesome to kick off 2020. Anyway, Maid-Sama is about a high school girl that is also a no nonsense Class President and she kind of has to be at a school where, until recently, was an all boys school. While she kills it in academics and is good at shutting down any shenanigans from the male student body, her financial situation isn't the greatest and has to balance a job at a maid cafe along with her school-related responsibilities. She does her best to hide her employment there to keep up appearances, but is one day found out by one of the boys who happens to be a big flirt and, yeah, hijinks ensue. While this anime doesn't have too many surprises, our main leads bounce off each other well enough to keep me entertained. Nothing I haven't seen already in other anime Rom-Coms, but I think it has more than earned its place at the start of this list.

9. Haganai NEXT (2013)

It's a personal rule of mine when making these lists that I don't include sequels of shows that were in previous lists. While I DID see the first season of Haganai a couple of years ago, it didn't quite make it into the top ten at that time. Because of that, it meets the criteria for this year's list. While I found the characters were just as charming here as I did during the first season, the development of their relationships really took off. It's a shame that it will most likely not get a third season, but I'm happy with what ride this show gave me. But hey! At least I can read the light novels/manga to continue the story! Wait, nevermind, the Haganai fans on Reddit are saying that's a bad idea.

8. Engaged to the Unidentified (2014)

Based off of a Four Panel joke manga, Engaged to the Unidentified tells the story of a girl in high school suddenly getting some life changing news. As it turns out, her grandfather made an arranged engagement with her and the son of a family he knew. Next thing she knows, the boy in question, as well as his little sister, moves into her family's house! While the boy is unassuming at first, there may be more to him and his family than he lets on. Plain and simple, this anime has charmed me. There's a decent amount of drama and mystery despite the source material and I applaud it! Even though this also doesn't have much new to offer, even to the point where I would compare this to Maid-Sama, what made me pick this at the 8th spot were the color choices and animation quality. Give this a shot if you can!

7. Grimoire of Zero (2017)

It's a fantasy/adventure story starring a loli sorcerer and a huge, anthropomorphic white tiger man. I honestly can't say anything else. I won't be able to do it justice. That first sentence should intrigue you a lease a little bit. Read it, again. Please check it out. It's an underrated gem that no one is talking about.

6. ID: Invaded (2020)

Hey, here's something recent! Unfortunately, this is also not something I can say much about. There may not be too many deep characters and the secret bad guy isn't hard to figure out, but BOY is this anime cool! The best way to describe this series is that it's like the movie Inception, but instead of brain heists, it's brain murder mysteries.

5. Carole and Tuesday (2019)

A runaway rich girl has a fated meeting with an orphan and they decide to make music together...oh, this also takes place Mars. Joking aside, this show was something special with its music (a new song almost every episode no less), interesting setting (freaking Mars, dude), and endearing main cast. Shoot, the music itself would be top 3, maybe number 1, but what bogs it down is the show's second half. I can easily see myself watching this again someday, and maybe my opinion will lighten up, but for now, 5 is a dang good spot.

4. Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front - Babylonia (2019)

Part of me hesitates placing this high up on list due to this show being animated, fan service spectacle for Fate fans. However, that hesitation is overshadowed by the fact that I am a Fate fan myself and I can do whatever I want with this list. Even if you're not a Fate fan or play FGO, if you enjoy some solid fight animation, this is worth a look.

3. K-On S1 (2009)

I'll admit it, I might regret not watching the second season then putting the series on the list as a whole, but this how I've been doing these lists and I'm such a creature of habit. There's not much I can say about K-On that hasn't already been said. By itself it's an anime classic and one of Kyo-ani's biggest properties. It's a sweet and wholesome watch, but be sure to have some insulin within reach.

2. Princess Principal (2017)

Imagine you're working with a team of programmers trying to make a mobile game then all of a sudden someone asks to make a show out of it. You know, a show with different character motivations, plot, twist and turns and all that? Most might say that's just a shameless, shallow cash grab, but it turns out okay for Princess Principal. Sure, most might summarize this anime as, "cute girls doing espionage things," but with its cast, visuals, and interesting alternative timeline, it works! Apparently there's a new season or movie in the works and I am all for it!

1. Beastars (2019)

I was not expecting this to be number one, but with much deliberation (with myself obviously) this feels right. It tells a pretty unique story while showing itself to be the exception to the rule when it comes to 3D anime.....it being that it's actually good. While I acknowledge that shows like K-On are classics and deserves to be number one on many different lists, it didn't line up with my personal criteria like Beastars did. My biggest deciding factor is: Now that I've watched this, do I want more? It's true that while I'm excited to start K-On S2, Beastars intrigues me more and ever since season two was announced, I'm looking forward to that more.

Sorry again for this list being so late, but at least the silver lining is that the next end of the year list is about four months away (in theory)!

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

well , i started this blog because i wanted a personal blog to just reblogged whatever i wanted & have a place for all the fandoms i like

i just really like william bush from hornblower <3 plus paul mcgann in period clothing & smiling ??? how could i not have him as my icon agdjfkgl

7. Why did you choose your header?

i guess , maybe if you count the posts i make about writing that i think are funny ? not certain though ...

nearly every day , but i do skip some days if i’m busy or am too tired , so more often than not every other day to every two days i guess is more accurate

no , i haven't ever had a fight nor argument with any other blogs

[genshins1mpact]

okay so i know i mentioned on here before that i have a bunch of dreams when i sleep and how i had that cute one with xiao & mingxiao before right?? 👀

forgot to share it sooner bc life but anyway i had a funny/cute dream with diluc the other day (i'll try to add a read more bc this got a lil long but it doesn't always work on mobile so i'll try & fix it asap if so!) but yeah this kinda turned into a whole fic of its own lol,,

☆ the dream itself is here, under the cut! ☆

basically, to not have to explain all the lore about my oc/self insert and all that again, the tldr of it is that i landed on teyvat similar to traveler but didn't really have anywhere to go so after gaining his trust and becoming close, diluc sort of just takes me in and lets me work at the tavern + lets me stay in a spare room at the winery. so yeah we often walk to/from work together if he's working at angel's share that day, and i guess everyone just assumes we're dating?? ...except for me, that is, who still thought he was in love with jean (bc of the whole stormterror thing).

one night, kaeya's been hanging out in the tavern all night, venti's already left or passed out or smth, and then once things close up, diluc and i get ready to head off, but apparently this is the first time kaeya's seen us head off together/in the same direction, and immediately decides to start teasing. he's all "ooh look at the two lovebirds, you've moved in together already? how'd you ask her out, i didn't know you two were a thing, congrats bro so glad she likes you back" kinda stuff and then i just start laughing and telling him to knock it off, wouldn't want jean to overhear and misunderstand. and they're both just like ......wait what? and i'm all "oh cause diluc likes jean right? i thought the were like an Unspoken Thing yknow??" and both stare at me as if i've grown like 3 heads and started doing a one-(wo)man barber shop quartet. lightbulb goes off in kaeya's head that i don't know jack shit & we're not a thing (yet) and diluc is just thinking like "i can't believe you're literally this oblivious, holy shit". hence kaeya's teasing The Sequel, where he just starts complimenting my uniform and says i look like a cute little maid or whatever and diluc is silently fuming behind me. he mutters something along the lines of "how oblivious can you possibly be?" and all but throws his coat/jacket over me to try and cover me "bc it's cold" (yeah yeah sure, jealous much? haha), then asks me how i never noticed how he felt about me. so i'm there having an earth teyvat-shattering moment of revelation that it WASN'T jean he liked, and that he didn't do all those nice things for me bc i'm friends with her, but because he liked...me????

kaeya smugly walks off with a little "you're welcome", after a his shenanigans, and i'm still trying to process things bc i'd never seen diluc that way, always assuming he'd liked someone else so i never really looked at him that way. we kind of quietly resume our walk back "home" and im clutching his jacket close to me, then we both try to speak at the same time, he tries to ask for my response/reaction and i was trying to ask for some time. he's kind of confused and almost looks hurt, but agrees to give me some time to think, since i explained the whole "not seeing him in that light" and didn't want to answer on a whim. that i didn't want to mistake gratitude for all he's done for me for affection and stuff so he was like hey good point i wouldn't want you to feel like i forced you into this, and no you're not gonna get kicked out/fired if you don't like me back, it's okay. diluc mentions having to be away for 2 weeks cause of a work trip and that i can respond then.

in the meantime, a bunch happened like a trip to liyue with aether & paimon, a whole girls' talk over tea with jean & lisa over the situation, and got my own lil serenitea pot so i potentially had the option of moving out now if i wanted to. i decided to my day off from the tavern to go out on a little adventure, just journey around and test out the teapot home and all that jazz. ran into noelle and we hung out/trained for awhile together and invited her in for for a tea break and stuff, like it was just really cute and fun. but apparently diluc came back a few days early and was freaking out when i was nowhere to be found, no one had any idea where i was, and was just really concerned something might happen to me. then noelle arrives through the gates and overhears him asking lisa stuff and goes all "oh she's over by (idk where i was maybe that bit of land between mond & liyue?) and he thanks her for the info and runs off to find me. he finds the teapot (somehow) on some rock but doesn't see me and i come back out of my lil abode bc someone outside kept saying my name and then i felt the teapot shake (he'd picked it up). cue a dramatic reunion in the rain bc when isn't it pouring and trying to kill me in teyvat in true romcom fashion i guess.

diluc is all "do you have any idea how worried i was about you? all alone out here? any of the abyss mages could have hurt you or taken you away or-" just rambles on and meanwhile im having this sort of Oh You're Back and I Think I'm Feeling Things realization (absence makes the heart grow fonder lol). so there's just this kind of strong, desperate hug moment and everything's quiet, save for the pouring rain and faroff occasional lightning strike. and i whispered something along the lines of "i think i'm in love with you" and his eyes widen before responding smth like "i think i'm in love with you too" with a fond smile, the first genuine huge smile i've ever seen on him (pls picture him like in the manga and not his in game ._. face PLS-🤣). cue another romcom cliche reunion hug + kiss scene in the rain, in which we take shelter from the rain inside the serenitea pot bc of how bad the storm kept getting.

(aether has tubby but i have chummy, kinda looks like the teapot salesman, and i usually just call her chums.) so we're greeted by chums who kind of is like staring daggers at diluc bc i showed up with a guest unannounced, drenched, and we're holding hands. she's overprotective in a very Mom Friend kind of way but she just means well. we change into some baggy share clothes i have and then i scrambled up something to eat (since we can apparently cook & forge in our lil pot i love that so much-) anyway so we decide to get some rest bc it's late and have the Oh No There Was Only One Bed conundrum until we agree to just share and sleep on opposite sides bc nbd right? i turned in my sleep and essentially was hugging his back whilst asleep, and he just turned over at some point and hugged me too, and booooiiii was this fire boy WARM, he felt like a personal heater and after all that rain, i slept like a log. diluc woke up before me cause he's used to an earlier schedule and slips out quietly to speak to chummy, asking if she knew where the supplies were cause he wanted to surprise me with breakfast (and man can he cook! goodbye kfc, hello good hunter). chummy is still kind of not vibing with him, until he apologizes for "intruding" and explains everything that's happened, to which chums kind of softens up and realizes he's sweet and just wants to do something nice, not go around raiding the house. woke up alone and went to look for the source of the smell, and kinda just clung to him, making diluc blush. don't remember too much more after the cooking thing though besides going for a stroll around my teapot layout, meeting all the pets that chill there, and kinda just having a relaxing day off together. the winery staff was probably freaking out wondering where we were, but we were just kinda in our own world (literally?), enjoying the peace before returning to all the chaos that is teyvat. cutest damn dream ❤

✎ Aerin / infp / scorpio / quarter-life crisis (25+) ☆

Hiya it's a pleasure to meetcha~ I'm currently obsessed with otome games again, hence this sideblog. Currently primarily playing mobile games such as Cybird's Ikemen series (Rev/Sen/Vamp/Pri/Vil), Obey Me!, Tears of Themis, TWST, & L&DS. as if I didn't have enough alr,, Also really enjoy some Switch games like Code Realize & The Men Of Yoshiwara. (◠‿◠✿)

❤︎⭒ ⋆⭒ ⋆❤︎⭒ ⋆⭒ ⋆❤︎⭒ ⋆⭒ ⋆❤︎⭒ ⋆⭒ ⋆❤︎⭒ ⋆⭒ ⋆❤︎

• Got back into the rabbit hole thanks to none other than MLQC. My favorites always were and up to this very moment still are Gavin and Kiro. I am 120% whipped for Gavin, but uh, he was rightful to be jealous of Kiro in that one date hahahaha oops. *Did end up eventually deleting the game though. Never even got to meet Shaw, damn :')

• And in terms of IkeSen, I've finished at least one route for Mitsunari, Yukimura (+sequel), Ieyasu (+sequel), Sasuke, Kenshin, Motonari, Mitsuhide, & Keiji, & Kanetsugu. Currently on Kicho's route. Yukimura has been my favorite since my second route, lately Mitsuhide is crawling up too..

• Ended up reinstalling IkeVamp after a bit of a break. Started with Napoleon, but have also done (at least one of) Theodorus, Arthur, Vincent, Isaac, Comte, and Daizai, and Mozart's routes. Partway through Leonardo's on my alt, and semi-reading Charles' on main. Unsure as to who is my favorite anymore, but I do most often find myself leaning towards Arthur/Napoleon.

• Had also installed Ayakashi: RR for quite awhile before losing my account, and being left absolutely heartbroken. Ended up recently buying it for Switch thanks to both nostalgia and devastation. My favorites were always Nachi and Aoi, only managed to finish the Dawn book and Aoi's book unfortunately, but hoping to get to read some more now with the Switch port.. which tragically doesn't include Dusk faction. RIP. Have done a few on Switch now tho! :)

• Ended up downloading Obey Me! some time ago now for coins on Ikesen, but the game ended up winning me over so here we are haha. Leaned towards Satan and Simeon as my favorites for quite awhile.. but it could be anyone's game, seeing as I'm terribly easy to sway.. (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄ *Edit: I also really like Asmodeus, Barbatos and Solomon a lot lately. (Edit2: Deleted both OM & NB, but still enjoy stuff for it!)

• Played some of Tears of Themis during the CBT and absolutely loved it! Felt like forever for it come out, I can only speak the highest of praises for it so far. It's such gorgeous quality with interesting mechanics, plus, I'm a sucker for a good mystery game/storyline! Also in case my taste wasn't glaringly obvious at this point....... I really liked Luke and fell hard for him during the beta test lol♡ ......but post-release somehow became a huge Marius simp, go figure ʅ◕ฺᴗ◕ฺʃ＊

• Can't believe I never remembered to add Ikerev on here, despite how much I post about it.. oh wow, talk about forgetful! Anyway I started off with the loml Luka <3 and have never looked back since! (Though I do really enjoy all of the characters, Luka is just always my #1 tbh. Very much enjoyed all of the feels in his TTLG sequel!!) Afterwards I completed Harr, Kyle, Zero, Seth, Dalim, & Jonah's (main+sequel) routes as well. Currently reading Fenrir's route on main. I'm such a sucker for the game I even made a alt account(s) just to be able to enjoy all the story events and more routes.. oop. Completed one run of Oliver's & now on Ray's route on the first alt, then started on Edgar & Loki.

• And while we're at it, Ikepri! I'm all over the place when it comes to Ikepri but my general consensus seems to be that I have a favorite.. half or so of the cast hahaha. Yves and Licht were my favorites before the global ver even dropped, but then Rio, Silvio & Nokto all stole my hearts along the way. I've completed both ends for Yves, Leon, Nokto, Licht, Rio, Silvio <3, & Chevalier. One route cleared for Jin, Clavis, & Luke, Sariel, Keith, Gilbert. Looking forward to the other new sequels, princes, and act! Yves, Licht & Rio were my faves at launch, then eventually Silvio wholly took over my life & wallet. + Keith's been climbing far up my roster lately too,, (Finished Gilbert's route on alt and currently reading Yves'!)

• Adding in IkeVil now that it's out in EN! Finished Harrison's route on main & William's on my alt. Swapped them around now to read the other ending for both routes. Still undecided as to my favorite/s, but Victor was the first to catch my attention, and holds most of my intrigue, alongside Jude now. I do hold the starter trio in high regard presently, and find I might be most biased towards Harrison..? Ended up deleting Ikevil and will likely just wait for Jude, Victor & Ring's routes while still keeping up with spoilers/subs instead.

• Fairly recently had gotten into SLBP and also ended up falling for Yukimura there as well, so go figure lol. Also completed Kaede, Masamune, & Hotaru's routes as of this update. Currently on Shigezane's route.*Edit: I ended up falling hella hard for Sogo (Kaede) and Hotaru.. and the many others.. the name Yukimura still rings a bell, I swear-

• Almost forgot to add TWST on here! My faves from jump were Riddle and Cater, and they still hold a very soft spot in my heart. I don't see most of the characters in a romantic light, as I'm a bit older than the majority of them. But there's a ton I enjoy platonically, or even joke about adopting (like Deuce and Silver. I seem to be quite biased towards Heartslabyul & Diasomnia, in case that wasn't also glaringly so far haha. Only about 3 books completed due to constantly deleting and reinstalling the app due to space/inactivity but I read the jp spoilers a lot anyway. I bark ferally for Divus Crewel (and General Lilia), consider yourself warned. -w-;

• Used to play a lot (and I mean A LOT) of otomes back in high school. Like the SWD series, Voltage games, etc. (phew, it's been awhile). Used to have the biggest crush on Mirai from Sleepless Cinerella ngl (and also kinda Ocean from that one genderbent fairytsle SWD game). There were regrettably some games where the grind took too long or I lost all my data and I could never finish them.. but it's alright, they live on in my heart! (Like that one game where she works at a hospital out of revenge to find out who botched her mom's operation.. that one was really fascinating ngl.)

• Now the proud owner of Code Realize for Switch. Will update as I play through, but I absolutely adored the anime, and Fran/Victor most definitely stole my heart. (I see Cardia/Arsène as cannon thanks to it but... I still very much enjoy my mans, yknow? ლ(- ◡ -✿)ლ) Might end up going the switch port route for otomes soon bc mobile ones got me f'd up rn.

• I play some What in Hell is Bad? here and there too! Beelzebub & Satan are my favorites as of writing this (Lucifer has yet to drop). A lot of my favorites are the lesser demons though, like Bael, Bathin, etc. Only got through roughly ch.2 of the main storyline, & had to delete due to storage issues & not having enough time/motivation for card grinding.

• Got curious cause of a friend and some ads about Love & Deepspace and well... I'm too far down to quit anytime soon lol. I joined just after the fourth LI was added (during the quad smexy banner, ikik). Started out a devoted Xavier girlie, now I'm all over Rafayel & Sylus too.. In Sylus' voice: "Get it together, sweetie.". Zayne loves my account though and comes home more times than I've got toes so heeyy bestie~ (I'll probably eventually get tired of the grind too.. but hey, there's always fics! ilysm writers <3)

• ANYWAY I'm back in the otome scene once more and would really just like some pals to gush over it all with! So if you'd ever like to talk or if you wanna add each other in-game, please don't hesitate! My ask/dm is always open 💖

Wishing you all the best! Stay safe & take care!
