I have joined the society of bluetooth earphones
#refurbished for the record#i have been dragged kicking and screaming into the future#my phone doesn't have a headphone jack. my mp3 player does but it also has bluetooth capability. my ereader only has bluetooth for audio#so I figure since I'm going on the eclipse trip in a few months I should get some wireless buds for the train#went with some used skullcandy sesh because they were like twenty-two dollars had had a twenty hour battery life#I ALMOST went with some used Hesh headphones that looked really cool and had fifteen hours but were also forty-nine dollars#which combined with the other things I needed to buy would have put me thirteen dollars over my seventy-five dollar walmart giftcard#I was very tempted if just for the aesthetique~ but realized if I bought the cheaper earbuds I could have enough money for some instax film#and the cheaper earbuds and 2 pack of film plus the household objects I needed put me at a tidy seventy-four dollars and fifty-six cents#so I didn't have to spend any actual money on anything woot woot#the earbuds are blue. which is my favorite color. but they're like a pastel blue. which is like my least favorite shade of blue#ah well I'll sacrifice looks for function and affordability any day#*stares in slight dismay at hideously pink refurbished and thirty dollar instax mini 9*#what I REALLY wanted was some of those urbanista solar-powered headphones/earbuds#but even used/refurbished both were out of the total price range of the gift card(s)#I actually had two giftcards which together totaled seventy-five so that was pretty sweet

I'm curious about something: have you ever actually paid money for hearts for irving/mateo/malakai/etc? Because it's real easy to flip your complaining about Lovestruck not supporting them. If those routes don't earn enough money to pay the writers and artists to make the next season, of course they're not going to continue. A very similar thing happened in The Arcana with Portia's route - people said they wanted it, but didn't pay for it, and if that happens, the route ends.
Listen kid. I am a 32 year old woman with a job. I bought all of Irving's chapters back when Gangsters in Love was a stand alone app. I have spent a good deal (and probably much more than I should have) on hearts and tickets, and I have bought. Every. Single. Heart scene. For my favorite characters.
Not that it is any of your business, btw. But your attitude bugs me. Do you think you are the only one who spends money on an app they like? That people are only spending money on the white dudes? And honestly even people who aren’t like me and can't afford to get all these hearts are still allowed to be upset if a route they like gets canceled.
I don't know if you are just the type who is completely ok with stories they like getting canceled or if you are lucky enough that all the stories you like reach satisfying conclusions. But not everyone is like you. People are allowed to be upset about how a company they like runs things.
I know I am just one person, and as much as I talk about the stories that I love and mourn how short they are or how they did (or didn't) end, that it will probably not change anything. So I don't get why you are so upset. Do you think a company is going to be like "oh shit a random woman who plays our game is upset we ended her favorite routes early, time to close down they company". Or worse, time to finish those routes just for her even though some random anon didn't like those routes."
It's fine if you don't want to see people complain about something you like. But then block me. Or blacklist #LS salt. Don't just send me condensending messages in which you make assumptions that I am complaining for no reason.
One last note. Lovestruck is not your friend. They are a company. And they do not need you to defend them. And I know that these routes end because lovestruck is a company and for all I know I am the only one spending hearts on them. I am still allowed to be disappointed.
Also know, since you decided you know all about me, that I do love Lovestruck. I've been playing it for as long as the app has been out (3 years I think?). And I played and bought routes from all their stand alone games before that. And I will continue to play them and spend hearts on my faves. (Leon season 5 next week, woot!)
