[sticky entry] Sticky: Intro 2025

givemeyourhonor: (pic#16553349)
Updating my intro for 2025 since I'm trying to go through the snowflake challenge again. But hello to anyone who reads this, new and old!

My main fandom interests are video games, animanga, and books.

Gamewise, I like a lot, ranging from mobile games, visual novels, simulation and strategy games, and JRPG games. Twisted Wonderland is my main fandom and Deuce is my boy! Other games I'm playing right now include Honkai Star Rail, Baulder's Gate 3, and Rune Factory 4: Special. One of my New Year's Resolutions is to get through my gaming backlog. Hopefully, it goes well!


Anime and manga tend to be based on vibes and once again, I follow a variety. I finished the 2024 Ranma 1/2 series and I'm also hoping to get through Twilight Out of Focus next. Comics I'm catching up on include First Night with the Duke and I also keeping up with Regas among a few others.

Bookwise I finished The Picture of Dorian Gray. I'm also reading The Nightmare before Kissmas and I've signed up for Daily War and Peace. I read a lot of Fantasy, M/M romances, and whatever tickles my fancy.

I also like podcasts, though I haven't been listening too much recently. I'm trying The Left Right Game and I regularly listen to Dungeons and Daddies, Malovolent, and Bitcherton.

Fandom activity-wise, you can find my stuff on ao3. I don't mind chattering about fandom things, but I'm also pretty shy and much more active on bluesky and plurk! I also reblog on tumblr a little. I'm pretty shy on dreamwidth and a bit forgetful, but I don't mind being hit up. I also rp once ing a while when the bug bites me, but I'm not in games right now.

Also, I'm pretty ship and let ship and expect people to treat me and others the same way. No bad attitudes here!

But otherwise I don't have much to say, other than thank you for reading!

I can't go into detail since there's a lot of little jokes in panels that would be nice to point out, but I don't feel like taking screen caps/pics (I've done it before and it's exhausting), but just general impressions and thoughts:

Seeing a post about kudos vs comments on r/ao3 and all I'll say is that while I'd love to get more comments, I'm happy with getting kudos because I've always understood it to be a "I liked this/good job/update please."

Also I think people take the kudos vs comment debate as if it's either you get a kudos or comment, when realistically, for some readers it's kudos or nothing at all. They were never going to write a comment for a number of different reasons. And that's fine, because quite frankly some people just aren't ever going to be at that stage and too many fanfic authors are publically bitter and entitled about the type of comments they get.

Been playing this game and enjoying myself so far. Will likely spring for the DLC once I get through my first playthrough.

Everything is insane, though. The world is horrible, but I also want to protect everyone. Especially Lyall. Precious boy.

Honestly I kind of want to protect Ashram too. Dude doesn't deserve anything that happened to him so far.

I'm interested to learn more of Thane's thing and I enjoy Quill a lot too. I like that we've crashed this sort of friend group with their own dynamic and like seeing the fallout of everything that's happening.

I'll be honest, I don't want to archive lock my works, because I want people to read them, but I'm also like oh :(

At the same time though, I'm not sure why you would want to scrape ao3 other than valuable data, because do you guys want all this slash smut? Do you want all the destial and omegaverse, which I've heard has been a problem for datasets popping that out?

I saw someone suggest they're using it for shitty webnovel sites, but can that satisfy in the long run?

Watching Parasite a few years after the buzz is interesting. I was spoiled for everything at the time and felt like it might be too much misery. But I ended up enjoying it a lot!

The direction, the acting, the script, it all comes together. The first third of it is funny as hell, then it takes a turn to horror, and then it careens towards a fated tragedy.

Another film where I think "eat the rich" isn't a good description of it. I like how it takes a very ludicrous scenario and then tacks on another absurd scenario and follows both to their inevitable conclusions. The Kims are highly sympathetic, but also callous, even towards others like them.

A movie that deserved its awards.

I got myself a letterboxd account because I decided I should watch more movies, and the last two weeks I watched Pyscho (1960) and Saltburn.

Twisted Wonderland

rules to live by by heartslabully-Cater/Riddle

A beautiful character study of Riddle during his third year and an exploration of his relationship with Cater. Lovely prose and an excellent read.

what grief tastes like by Haiokha-Rollo/Idia (slight non-con/dubious consent warning)

It’s always fun to see Idia and Rollo’s experiences with grief contrasted, and this fic does it well as the two of them boil over at each other.

I'm tired from work and not being able to sleep yesterday, so I don't know what my motivation is going to be for my days off.

In the trying new things category, I got one of those Woobles kits. Pierre looks cute, but I gave up for the day after having to undo my work right away because holding that crochet needle is hard. The hand positioning sucks. I'm going to plan on getting the little penguin done, though I suspect I'm going to conclude crochet isn't for me (so much respect to people who make big projects- Grandmas work super hard!)

Trying to do bread at home regularly because I might as well since we have the kitchen aid. It's been a while since I've been in the habit. The problem with bread is you need to plan things out timing wise though. Still this recipe was fantastic.

Also, twst has so many amazing things happening right now in JPN and EN. I need to catch up. Even though the current event feels very slow.

In podcasts, I'm trying out Weeping Cedars. I'm on the 2nd season, and I like how even the lighthearted show is still sinister (those kids are definitely not keeping on keeping on in the woods Eli.)

Looking at the new trouble lines for Deuce, and I'm just thinking of my favorite shippy ones (at least in my head):

Adeuce: typical tsunderes

Cater/Deuce: telling him to stay cute awww

Jack/Deuce: two jocks on the same page.

Azul/Deuce: Azul thinking about how he can take this guy for everything he's worth.

Jade/Deuce: he wants to find out all your secrets now Deuce (this was such a pleasant surprise)

Floyd/Deuce: Floyd likes his bad boy side LMAO

Epel/Deuce: More bromance. This was good for us! omg. The communication

Idia/Deuce: Oh this is just hilarious to me. (also Idia would a hundred percent know exactly what trope deuce fits into.)

Malleus/Deuce: This is so cute. This is like when your loved one finally learns to program the vcr on their own.

Sebek/Deuce: okay not shippy, but I'm marveling at how mean Sebek is.

(I can ship almost anyone in this cast together, these just stood out.)

Rune Factory 4 Special: Decided to be done with this for the moment. It's a shame that Vishnal is glitched so badly when it comes to marriage, but it's too frustrating to hope he shows up at dates so that he doesn't yell at you the next day for forgetting to arrive (duuuuude.)

Sherlock Holmes: Chapter one: I'm in side quest land. I think my favorite little one has been the vampire one.

Kingdom Hearts: I forgot how annoying the controls felt lmao.

Honkai Star Rail: Started to catch up on the latest patch and oooh Mydei that is some delicious angst.

Twisted Wonderland: On Sebek's map, hooray! Oh no another map.


Also I see the Suikoden 1 and 2 remaster is out. Exciting stuff. In other suikoden news, apparently they're releasing a gacha. Not as exciting :/ Especially the waifu they seemed to have shoved in there.

Not going to be posting anything for march, because I wasn't reading much beyond subscriptions. I could catch up on my "marked for later list," but something happened this morning that kind of did suckerpunch my enthusiasm even though I was happy to post my fic later.

Hopefully I'll do more reading this coming month though.

It always intrigues me how whenever someone makes a post about shipping, especially if it's some variation of "don't bully people for shipping something you don't like" or "people's ships don't make them bad people or immoral," someone always has to reply "Yes but-"

I don't want to use the word "virtue signaling" for lots of reasons, but it does feel like showing off how good and moral you are. And it's not even just on the proship posts. That post about how "enemies to lovers" has lost all meaning had people complaining about how you'd better not ship bully romance and I'm just like... bro. Please. Other than a few of your idiot friends, no one is impressed.

I'm reading the Manwha for this but I know the spoilers for the web novel and it's really interesting as a commentary on a particular type of fiction. But I also like what it does with the bio family vs the family who raised you and the cold and neglectful/abusive father trope.
