I will always be in favor of playersexuality. Until the day game designers have more nuanced understandings of sexuality.
Game designers still only understand flamboyant gay, mean lesbian, slutty bisexual, and quirky queer. Any identities not those are not even recognized. And any complex characterizations are only afforded to "normal" straight characters.
While Larian gave us a step in the right direction, they are still coming from the above framework and trying to reiterate upon that. And you have to understand that framework in order to recognize why their implementation is still somewhat shallow while still being the best offered compared to other games in the genre.
In the past, every time I encountered a woman in a romanceable video game who correctly represents my own experience of bisexual/pansexual identity, she was only romanceable by male characters.
These are women who have tough exteriors on a spectrum of "bitchy femme", a midpoint of "aloof androgynous", to "tough masc". All points that are gnc in some way, but all are women who also have a soft interior that is interpreted as conventionally feminine.
Game designers interpret these two traits (outward gnc and inner softness) as a nullification to heterosexual woman. Time and time again. Falling into the stereotype of being a woman for a man to tame.
Will they ever understand? Or do people as a whole just don't understand the many ways bisexuality can take shape?

Okay. I'm going to be honest.
"Lazurite" is going to take a break as my writing exercise. I'm thinking about deleting it because I don't think I'll be picking it up again anytime soon.
The reason for this is that I am not a fan of work overload. My main fanfiction is demanding enough to have it and another project at the same time.
So I will start a new fic to continue my writing and translating excercise called "Sapphire Hearted" and it will also be an AU, but set in the universe of Dragon's Dogma.
And let me get straight to the point: Dragon's Dogma is one of my favorite games, so writing about that universe is more satisfying to me than writing about Pokemon.
I really want to apologize to the people who liked Lazurite. I don't like to change projects like this, but with DD2 coming soon, I feel the need to imagine Hal and Lina there.
Thanks for your Support.

help help help I can't stop drawing gay lawyers
Trucy should be brown and I'll die on that hill
The fact that Klavier is 5'11" and Apollo is 5'5" 🥹 I love a height difference
I am convinced they drew Valant's hair Like That (tm) in-game because otherwise we would have all fallen madly in love with him
Wesley is my favorite witness in Apollo Justice, I'm so sorry for my shit taste 😔
I've drawn Godot without a mask before but I wanted to do it Again because I am still enamored with the idea of him having white eyelashes
Aromantic Miles means so much to me
I get that it's probably just the way they drew his jacket but why is Miles's little court sprite so caked though 😭

there are 4 versions of The Lord of the Rings: the books, the films, the extended editions, and the self-insert fanfic you’ve had bouncing around in your head since you were fourteen

When Kuvira was willing to point a laser at her husband and obliterate him in service to her goals - you KNOW I lost my shit.

🌵 ⇢ share the link to a playlist you love (for the pokemon AU if you have one)
🛼 ⇢ describe your latest wip with five emojis
🌵: Now I realized that I don't have anyone for that fic 🤣 I have to fix that. But I usually put the pokemon blue ost to write it (I have to say that I love chiptunes)
